STATE UNIVERSITY NOTES.
Siae Lights on Student Life- DIsting
uished Visitors Expected.
Columbia. March >:?We are
fflad that the trying month of
February lias passed and alontf
with it those awful "exams,"
which all fear so much. We
have now settled down to our
second-term work with a vim
: ind earnestness which cannot
i do otherwise than mark our efi
f*rts with success.
We are expecting on the 19th
in$t a visit from Dr Eliot, the
? venerable president of Harvard
' ^University. Dr Mitchell, our
4 president, who is now delivering
1 k series of lectures at Brown
^University, will also be here at
that time, along with many of
our alumni from all parts of the
State. The faculties of all of
the higher institutions of learning
of the State have been invited
to be with us on that day
and we hope to have a time worthy
of the dignitaries who will
be present.
The improvements of Carolina
which have been planned by the
board are rapidly becoming a realitv.
The administration build
ing will soon be ready for occupation
and the erection of a
new scieijce ball will be begun
in the near future. Besides
these two new and handsome
buildings, there are plans for
- many more that cannot be definitely
stated yet.
It is well known that Carolina
is maintained solely by the
I appropriations of the LegislaK
ture and they have shown their
B approval of our work by making
W a generous appropriation this
^ past session. We assure these
liberal-hearted men that for
every dollar which they give to
Carolina, the State will be amply
repaid, not in dollars, but
with a citizenship which can not
be excelled by any other State
in the Union,
Dr D F Houston, president ot
k Washington University at St
1 1X)U1S, win deliver uie turn^
mencement address here next
June. Dr Houston is a native of
L South Carolina and an alumnus
of the old South Carolina ColWege.
He is a man of whom the
whole State may be proud, and,
^like many other alumni of the
University, has made a record
which is hard to beat.
Mr Editor, judging the progress
of Williamsburg county
from the items whicli appear in
I your columns, it is indeed mak|
ing rapid strides in all lines,
I especially educational and industrial,
and this is what everyr
one wishes to see. We have the
assurance that within a few
years, ours will be no less than
Itne best coumy in ine cuaie.
Since other men are expressing
their opinion in regard to
the prohibition question in your
columns, I shall take the liberty,
it it be allowed, to say, that I
believe in State-wide prohibition;
but since our wise and
honorable Senate has failed to
pass the bill, and since they
have left it to the will of the
people of each county, I think
that the citizens of old Williamsburg
should show at the ballot
box this summer that they are
[not below the par of any county,
in wisdom or in purity, and blot
this blighting stain from our
history forever, i could give a
thousand arguments, but need
not. The cause speaks eloquently
for itself.

ly fine. Seven small girls in rotation tl
on the stage sang the greft and in- it
spiring song, ''Dixie." Those words, V
"In Dixie land I'll take my stand; b<
I'll live aud die in Dixie," were sung o
by the following named girls: Ada w
Blake, Alice Pipkin, Edna Feagin p
Gussie Camlin, Esther Albrooks, cl
Thelma Marshall and Opal Mc- w
Knight. After this the school chil- t?
dren stood in a line with the letteis in
on their breasts forming the word tl
"w e L C O M e". The same girls v<
appeared the second time on the w
stage with the following letters on c<
their breasts spelling "w a S h- di

enjoyed by all and the children tc
showed taleut and good traiuing, re- ti
fleeting great credit on their popular rj

Since writing my few remarks in
reference to the unfortunate accident ~
which befell little Willie Evans, the ^
brave lad has been called to his re- ^
ward. The mother and the entire
family of the unfortunate youth
have the deepest sympathy of the ^
community in their bereavement.
I note with pleasure the slings of
your Moody correspondent. I am ^
' by his sayings like unto the old ^
darkey preacher who in his discourse ai
from the pnipit saiu: -i am uiauaful
that God did not make everybody
of one mind. If He had, every man
would have wanted to marry my wife."'
The old deacon in the amen
corner rose to order and said: "Yes,
brother,I am glad He didn't make all
men of one mind, because if everybody
were of my mind no one would
want the preacher's wife." So I am
glad that my mind and your Moody
correspondent's, or "Red Coon's'
miud are not one; because if he had
beeu of my mind no one would be
living at Moody. People who move
to Moody and live there a short
while become a red coon or some *
other kind of animal.
