WLNTHROP COLLEGE NOTES.
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.

ESTIMABLE WOMAN DEAD.
, Mrs. A. M. Snider Passed Away
Thursday.
i Mrs Seedie Catherine Snider, the
beloved wife of Dr A M Snider, died
at her late residence here at 4:30
, i
(Thursday afternoon, after an illness
extending over several months. Before
marriage the deceased was Miss
; Seedie Catherine Rush of Spartanburg.
She was married to Dr Snider
in October,1867. As a result of their
j union ten children were born to
| them, of whom the following sur(
vive: Mesdames E C Epps and H E
Montgomery, of this place; Mrs C 0
; Thompson, Charleston; Dr E J Snirlor
W W fsni'^or
Dublin, Tex; Mr H Bruce Snider,
general manager of the Guantanamo
and Western railroad, Guantanamo,
j Cuba; Mr C H Snider, Conway, and
Rev H J Snider, Spartanburg. Mr
I David Snider, the youngest son, died
several years ago,while one son died
in infancy. Besides these, Mrs Snider
leaves one brother, Mr D H Rush of
Elloree, and one sister, Mrs Maggie
Westmoreland of Woodruff. Mrs
Snider was a devoted wife and mother
and a cherished neighbor. She
was a member of the Baptist church
and a devout Christian lady.
Dr and Mrs Snider,with their children,came
to Kingstree from Orangeburg
some fifteen or twenty years
ago, where Dr Snider took up the
practice of his profession as a dentist.
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.
Elloree,October 10:?The remains
of Mrs A M Snider, wife of Dr A M
Snider,who died at Kingstree Thursday,
reached here Friday morning.
The funeral services were held at 11
o'clock and the interment took place
at Santee cemetery. Mrs Snider was
about 70 years old and is survived
by one brother, Mr D H Rush of Elloree;
one sister, Mrs Westmoreland
of Woodruff; her husband, several
sons and daughters. 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. For sale b'* all dealers.
TOBACCO SALES HEAVY.
Soutli Carolina's Production Exceeds
Federal Forecast.
Several days ago the United States
department of agriculture issued a
statement estimating that the South
Carolina tobacco crop would be 31,,
657,000 pounds. Yesterday the State
department of agriculture issued a
report which shows that 39,478,421
pounds have been sold in the State
since the season opened. The tobac
co farmers of the Pee Dee section
have received $3,881,233.54 for the
crop.
Report issued on the September
sales is for 22 markets'and 54 warehouses.
The tobacco crop in 1913
was 33,299,561 pounds, which went
to the market for $4,584,339.51. In
1912 the farmers produced 24,337,912
pounds. The total amount received
was $2,653,443.68.
Average price paid for tobacco
per pound during the past several
years in September is as follows:
191 0 9.37
191 1 12.61
191 2 11.90
191 3 13.23
1914 8.81
The great decrease in the price of
tobacco is attributed to the Euro,
pean war. In September of this
!vear the farmers sold 19,552,988
' pounds for $1,723,189.18.
I Cades Chronicles.
%
Cades,October 13:?The Cade3 Gin
and Manufacturing Co's plant has
been out of commission for a fewdays
on account of an accident oc- j
casioned by the breaking of the cross
head of the engine Saturday afternoon,causing
the cylinder head to be
blown to pieces. Fortunately for the ,
engineer, he had stepped out of the ]
engine room to speak to the superintendent
when the accident occurred,
hence no one was injured.
The efficient manager, Mr V G Ar- ?
nette, set to work at once to secure '
the necessary parts of the engine,
and skilled mechanics were soon at ;
work, so that now the machinery is j <
in first-class working order.
