\ A PLEA FOR KICTHKOP. ) Appeal to Legislature far More Liberal Policy towards Girls' UGliege. Editor County Kecord:?Some members A?f the legislature do not seem inclined to allow appropriations to Winthrop college adequate to its great work and proportionate to the amount of money appropriated to the South Carolina .State colleges for young men. They do not seem to appreciate the fact that Winthrop is the only college supported by tlie State for women; that it is the largest college in the State; (being larger now, with an enroll ment of 669 students, than uiemsou college); that there are more young women in the State ready tor college than young nun?as the records of the graduating classes of the high schools will show ?and the State appropriates less than one-third as much for their education as it does directly and indirectly at Clemson, the State university and the Citadel for the higher education of the young men of the State; that the women mainly are doing the teaching of the children in the common ' schools of the State and Winthrop 1 college is training rinse women teachers: that Winthrop college is vounger than the other Suite col- ' leges and has not had the time they ' have had'to provide buildings and ' ' nnails <IWI 1 equipment, us imiijcu avt m.w?. therefore greater; that Wiuthrop J is one of the most economically 1 managed institutions in the country, 1 the cost per capita to the State for i ( running expenses last year being j1 $137.98, with the prospect of still 1 further reducing that, low per capi- 1 ta cost this year on account of the 1 much greater enrollment this* year; 1 that Winthrop stands for service, ' not only to the school, but also to ' the homes in South Carolina, the k very foundation of all civilization. ' Now, with these facts before you, 1 Legislators, bow can you refuse such 1 au appeal or fail to give Wiuthrop ' college a fairer and more sympathetic hearing before the Legislature? ' We want Wiuthrop college to have a ( fairer showing in the enterest of the ' women, the schools, the children 1 and the homes of South Carolina. 1 lr is nothing but Mist aud right that 1 ~ ~ O *f ? for every dollar spent by the State ' for the higher education of the young ' men of the State there should be another dollar spent for the higher ( education of the young women of < tne State, and that the present ex- < penditures for the higher education 1 of the young men and young women 1 are far from this equitable basis. ( This unjust discrimination should ( uot be practiced in educational ap- I propriations against women upon * whom the welfare of the State de- ' peuds as much as upon the men, $o 1 say the least. South Carolina was * slow in beginning to do the right ( thing in providing an education for 1 her daughters and she onght not 1 now to hesitate to do full justice and ' make up for lost time. 5 There were 1,270 applications for ' admission to Wiuthrop college this 1 year, showing that the people want 1 their daughters to have the kind of education Winthrop gives. Only ' - 660 of these 1,270 applicants could 1 be admitted to the college. < Every consideration of justice, < fairness and patriotism requires that 1 women should be given an equal ] showing with the men for life's 1 duties and I feel that all that is ' necessary to secure justice in this ' matter is a fair presentation of it to ' the Legislature and the people. 1 WlNTHROP 1 * K-?l.?.I; tin tlv ore | an; >\u.iiev i<: Madder truu. i ble that is not beyond the reach ot ' medicine.

As a result of counties being] dnr m South Carolina the "jug trade" has increased from time to time to a great extent, business alwav> improving in the different counties of the Slate after being added to the "dry"' column. Tin* "jug trade" business is now known to all sections >f Sontli Carolina and there arc many gallons of whiske; brought into this State by that method from Richmond, Jackj-envilli* and otlur cities. On the lirst day of the year the new law by Congress regulating the ''interstate shipment of intoxieating liquors'* weut into effect. It will stop certain evasions of penal laws now practiced in the dry counties. This bill was one of the most important liquor measures ever passed by Congress and is of interest to South Carolinians in that the State is almost dry. The new law will abolish the John Doe business. Everybody must order his own whiskey. The law is as follows: OOO \ stHi/iut* uoonl 111* I "OCC. *dO. xxuy .... employee of any railroad company, express company, or otht-r common carrier, who shall knowingly deliver or cause to be delivered to ?nv person other than the person :o whom it has been consigned, j .mless upon the written order in! acli instance of the bona tide con-j lignee, or to any fictitious person,' >r to any person under a fictions! lame, anv spirituous, vinous, lialted,fermented or other intoxicattig liquor of any kind which has ieen shipped from one State, tern - j ;ory, or district of the United I States, or place noncontiguous t>>' jut subject to the jurisdiction! ;hereof, into any other State, J :erritory, or district of the United States, or place noncontiguous to tit subject to the jurisdiction hereof, or from any foreign country into any State, territory, }r district of the United States or t>nnr?nnticmmiS to but Sllbiect - ?l to the jurisdiction thereof, shall be tilled not more than five thousand dollars, or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.

The Government estimate of tiie size of tlie cotton crop thi? year has had the most bullish effect on the niarktt. This estimate was lower than anv previous one, from auv source, for if puts this year's crop ;t. only a little over 10,000,o<)<> bales. The pievioas most aeceptctl belief li.nl been that the crop would be in the neighborhood ut 1 i,UXI,(HKl bales. While it is probable, in view of the fact that the Government estimates made at. this time have uniformly lh en too large, that the final total receipts will be in excess of this present estimate, it has had the effect of raising the price. There remains 110 longer any doubt that eotton will reach a still higher level, and it would not be ut all surprising if it should go nearly or quite to 20 cents before the end of the season. J. 1118 rise III luc |ii ii;c ui is not a good thing for the .South, ant) especially for the cotton grower. This may seem a strange view to tal:e of it. hut a iittle reasoning will show that it is the correct one. Ordinarily the^iigher the price of a staple, the better it is fcr those who produce it, or whose affairs are intimately ivh-.teJ to the prosperity of the pi.,duccrs, which in the case of cotton applies to the Sonth as a whole. Had the price of: cotton been as high as it is now, or as it lids fair to rise, at the beginning of the season, it would have benefited the cotton-growersl and the South immediately. l?ut now very little cottou remains in the hands of the farmers. They have for the most part sold their cotton as fast as it was ginned, and the ginning is very nearly comnleted. How little is held bv the farm I ? ors may be understood from the stocks in the Augusta warehouses. Though the receipts up to the present are over 24,<)(M) l>ah-s ahead of last season's to this date, the stock held in Augusta is 34,000 bales1 less, or less than two-thirds of last season's holdings. Comparatively little cotton is held by farmers, or by any one else in the South, and any rise in price now can therefore not benelit the Soutii much. On the other hand, it may do great harm. This it may do f the farmers, incited by the high price this year, increase their acreage next year. Should a favorable crop follow under such circumstances, it would mean a bumper crop and a terrible drop in price. Not only would the farmers fail to get the high price for which they had planted, but they would have incurred expenses in making this crop on the basis of high prices, and probably also neglected other crops to raise more cotton, Compelled under such circumstauces to sell for a lower pi ice the result would be disastrous. It would set the farmers back two or three years, and would have a depressing effect on the South generally. For the past twelve years every alternate cotton crop has been large and small. For the last seven years this alternately large and small crcp has been very decided. Under this order the crop next year would be large, and the price of course correspondingly low. If cur farmers will heed the lesson so plainly apparent in all this and just sit steady in the boat, plant only the usual acreage in cotton next year and trv to raise more corn and otlur things, high prices for cotton might be maintained, and increased prosperity come to them and to the South. Will they do this? Or will they allow the high price of cotton to lead them into committing the great mistake of increasing the acreage?? Augusta Herald. Simple Remedy for LaGrippe.
