A Record Enrollment?College and Campus Notes. Win:hr)p College,Rock Hill, October 12:?The number of students enrolled this year is the largest we have had in the history of the college. Although fifteen rooms were added to Johnson Hall this past summer,there was not sufficient room in the dormitories to accommodate all of the girls who wanted to come. However, we have 891 enrolled. We deem it a rare privilege in having Dr Henry F Cope, general ip^rptarv of thp Rpliirious Arsocia tions of Amerithere to conduct a series of lectures. He was with us October 7 and 8 and spoke to large and appreciative audiences three times each day. A vigorous canvass was made for membership in the Young Women's Christian association the first two weeks after the college was formally opened. There are 60C girls enrolled in the association,and we hope the time is near when every member of the student body will also be an active member of the Y W C A. The canvass was brought to a close September 30, and that afternoon an informal reception was given for the new members. Fruit was served and the various activities carried on through the association were explained. We are indeed proud of the fact that one of Williamsburg's girls, Miss Alma Chapman of Johnsonville, is the president of this organization, which is doing so much for the uplift and development of the girls. Dr Johnson has been asked by the Panama Pacific Experimental authorities to send an exhibit of the Winthrnn Farm School there next year. The Star Course attractions, which have been booked for this season, bid fair to be the best we have ever had. The first of these attractions, "The Oratorio Artists," will be given October 12, in the college auditorium. Reed Miller, South Carolina's famous tenor, is the leading artist in this company. Williamsburg is well represented in all of the classes at Winthrop this year, there being five of our girls in the Senior class, two in the Junior, eight in the Sophomore, one in the Freshmen and two in the special.

Before marriage the deceased was Miss ; Seedie Catherine Rush of Spartanburg. She was married to Dr Snider in October,1867.

The remains of Mrs Snider were taken to Elloree Thursday night, where interment was made the following day in the presence of a large concourse of friends and relatives. To Dr Snider and the sons and daughters of this good woman the sympathy of the people of this community goes out in full measure.

The family before moving to Kingstree some years ago resided near here. Avoid Sedative Cough Medicines. If you want to contribute directly to the occurrence of capillary bronchitis and pneumonia use cough medicines that contain codine, morphine, heroin and other sedatives when you have a cough or cold. An expectorant like Chamberlain's PAtvin^ir ia TrrVaof ia ivcmcuj IB nnut ? uvvuvv.. That cleans out the culture beds or breeding places for the germs of pneumonia and other germ diseases. That is why pneumonia never results from a cold when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is used. It has a world-wide reputation for its cures. It contains no morphine or other sedative.
