W1NTHR0P COLLEGE
CAPTURES LEGISLATURE.
Will It Also Capture Thirty Thousand
Dollars from the Taxpayers
Pockets?
(Published by Recent )
Winthrop college has captured
the general assembly and the
dormitory wanted by President

tee", is a certainty. As one ot
the members of the general assembly
remarked, the successful
work of every member of the
faculty, aided by the countless
letters sent out by the graduates,
brought success.
The occasion of the visit of
the general assembly to Winthrop
college was the observance
of the birthday of General
Robert E Lee, and while here
the visitors were the guests of
the Winthrop chapter, Daughters
of the Confederacy.
A special train, having on
board 210 passengers, members
of the general assembly and
many ladies, and under the per?

Hunt, the assistant general pasBenger
agent, and Mr Lusk, the
/ division passenger ;?gent of the
Southern railwa)*, left Columbia
at 7:30 o'clock yesterday and
made a remarkably fast run.
The special was run into the
yards ot the college on the special
side track and on dismounting
were met by the Daughters
? of the Confederacy and by President
Johnson, Every detail
for handling the large number
had beeu arranged in advance
and there was not the slightest
confusion. The visitors went
direct to the auditorium where
-the seats wer# arranged by
xounties.
President Johnson then announced
that the guests would
be divided into four sections,
each section to be taken on a

ing and starting from a different
point. This would save
confusion. For three hours
those who have never visited
Wintfcrop were amazed at the
perfect system, the smoothness
and ease with which the institution
with nearly 500 pupils
was conducted. On all sides
the visitors were met by these
students, who appeared to take
as much interest in the affairs!
of the college as President
Johnson hi.nself, and that is
saying a great deal. In the
kindergarten department, conducted
by Miss Macfeat, who has
done so much in advancing child
pducation. the tinv tots went
through their exercises and up<|T
stairs the model school taught
practical things in a practical
way to the pupils of the higher
grades. It ran so smoothly that
it did not need the assertion of
one of the senators that Winthrop
always ran that way.
At 2 o'clock dinner was served
in the large dining room.
With the exception ofjthe young
lady members of the Winthrop
chapter, Daughters of the Confederacy,
every pupil was seated
also and there was room for
others. The hall had been
beautifully decorated. At the
head of the hall were the large
oil portraifs of Gens. Lee and
Jackson presented to the library
some time ago and used ap

The menu was a delightful
one; in fact, the entire affair be- J

, chapter and the housekeeper,
Miss Cobb, were thanked afterward
by a rising vote. Between
the toasts the college glee club
rendered a number of selections

DOESN'T WANT A NEW COUNTY ?
Well, Not JohosoDville-'Perbaps Progress"
Favors Ratledge County.
Editor County Record:?It
seems to be a settled fact that j
all Williamsburg is of one mind
in believing that we are in much
Deed of a new county down
here, and sentiment is strong in
our favor. Our friends and neighbors
are worked up, and we
note they are holding massmeetings
over in Johnsonville.
What does all this mean, Mr.
Editor? Are they really going
to give us a new county, or are
the boys only "jollying"?makfng
a cat's paw of us.
We note that "Surveyor" in
your last issue is in hearty
sympathy with us, and as he
has talked with "many men ot '
many minds" the county over, it
is natural to suppose he has a
great store-house of information;
therefore, we beg his pardon |
and ask that he share up this
knowledge with his fellow- (
countymen that we may be the i
better made to understand the ,
whole questiou.
What is the area requirement
for a new county, and can we
meet it? ]
What the taxable property
requirement and have we got i
it? '
What the population requirement
and can we supply that
demand? I
How many square miles in the
tenitory yon suggest for a new 1
connty and bow much vrould it
cut from Williamsburg, noting
that the railroad runs seven
? ' - -i t- 4v.;
miles ilLHJve kUUUlj uuc ai una
point?
What advantage- would a new
county be to us in the face of
the fact that -we have more time
to go to the old court house
than we have money toput in a
new one? "~
If we build a cheap court
house, the kind that has been,
written about, to cost only
fifty thousand dollars, how lonjf
would it take to discharge this
debt, with a two and one-half
mill levy, taking the legal requirement
of taxable value as a
flat basis? I
Would it pay us, for any
reason, whatever, to raise the
taxable value of our lands,
knowing- that these lands cannot
be used for years, the timber
belonging to others?
How would the question of
location of court house be settled,
seeing that we have neither
towns nor villages?
Wouldn't Morrisville or Dock
be about the geographical center
of the proposed new county?
Who pays the preliminary expenses
in engineering a new
county scheme, such as survey,
etc?
Trusting that "Surveyor" will
find no hesitancy in giving this
information for public benefit,
we await with expectancy.
Progress.

Augusta, Oa., January 26:?
At a mass meeting* in North

adopted containing" charges
that Representative Croft is the <

terests, and that he practically 1
made such an admission at the !
Aiken county court house dur- j
ing the di?pensary hearing. The '
document also denies the [
charges made by Mr. Croft fhat ?
two ministers of North Augusta J
are unfavorably disposed to the j
i town dispensary, but willing to
have one operated in the hotel, i
Sworn statements, before a 1
notary, were collected to be (
taken to Columbia today by a
committee composed of Messrs.
Carpenter, Yerdrey, McKier J.
H. Carpenter, Woodward, Mealing,

are to appear Monday before a 2
