APPEAL FOR THE
y UNIVERSITY OF S. C
, v an institution without en
l' dowment-is dependent on
legislature for support.
j Editor County Record:?
J The University of South Carolin
is the only State University in th
South that has no endowment. Thi
institution, therefore, is entirely de
pendent on annual legislative apprc
, priations for maintenance and futur
development. There is never any dil
ficulty abou: ordinary maintenanc
Ibut development is necessarily slow
as South Carolina is not a wealth;
State and a>3 the demands upon th
/ legislature are numerous and insist
} ent. Such an institution as ours
* therefore, must be partly dependen
upon its alu mni if we are to kee;
pace with the rapid strides of mod
era higher education.
There are five ordinary ways b;
which our alumni can contribute t
the development of their Alma Ma
ter: (1) By the establishment of a
endowment fund; (2) by the erec
tion individually or collectively o
an alumni building on the campus
(3) by special donations for the em
bellishment of the grounds and build
ings; (4) by supporting, in pari

Loan Fund.
It is of the last that we shall spea!
in this article, reserving comment o;
the others in subsequent contribu
tions to your journal.
The Alumni Loan Fund was ere
ated February, 1904, to meets th
needs of poor but - worthy student
of the univc ity. During the elevei
j years of i s activity (1904-1915
$30,000 hav: been lent to student*
"The active part of the fund ha
^ been paid out four times and recol
lected three times," as we lear:
from the bulletin prepared by th
very competent administrator, Pre
feasor F W Bradley. There ar
about fifty regular annual contrit
utors. A few others have contribut
ed sporadically. The largest toti
contribution was $2,602.85 (in 1910
the smallest $51.50 (in 1912). A
there ere atout 3000 living alurac
it will be .seen that the number o
contributor!! is exceedingly small
| + If the alumni averaged $5.00 apiec
t annually the contributions to thi
A fund would amount to $15,000
b year. As only $100 is ever loane
I to any one applicant, this woul
mean that 150 young men an
women would be enabled annual!
4 to complete their education in addi
tion to those who had already secui
ed loans from the permanent fund
When these young people gr&duat
they naturally become the warmes
friends of the institution ana tn
most generous contributors to th
fund to which they owe their hig
educational training. But bette
far the State is enriched by an ir
creasingly large number of highl
educated citizens to aid in guidin
her future career.
It is said that Alexander Stephen!
the Vice President of the Confedei
aey, educated out of his privat
funds sixty young men most o
f . whom rendered valuable service i
after life to the great commor
wealth of Georgia. Surely there i
no benefaction that reaps larger rt
|^urns than one that helps to fit me

I^ction in life. The interest o
P) ch t fund is not to be measured i
ollars and centa but in souls an
'rial service, the value of which i
Ityond compute.
? Personally I feel keenly the in
^portance of timely aid to the atrus
tier after the higher things of th
Y intellect, My own father could nc
have graduated in 1832 at the Un
verity of South Carolina had it nc

There are pathetic cases of thi? kin
every year, not to speak of th
larger number who suffer in silenc

from the unfulfilled desire for a!
higher education.
In spite of these facts benefactors |

tribute funds for the advacement of,
various educational interests- all!
admirable objects of munificence in
themselves; but comparatively few |

GUNS THAT SAVE LIFE. |
They Are Used For Shooting Linea to
Vessels In Distress.
The three and six pounders with
which all the seagoing cutters of
the revenue service are armed now
are used to shoot lines to vessels in
distress, states the Popular Science
Monthly. For years they had served
as nothing more than ornaments
on the decks of the cutters, for ii
never was necessary to use them in
the enforcement of customs and
navigation laws. They were carried
mainlv for their moral effect.
These guns have been found far
more effective in line shooting than
the line guns formerly carried?
small brass cannons of the type seen
at life saving stations along the
coasts. Although the cannons were
in use for many years, they were
never entirely satisfactory. It was
almost impossible to aim them with
any degree of accuracy, and accordingly
line shooting with them was a
"hit or miss" matter in the majority
of cases.
In line shooting with the modern
rapid fire guns a projectile about six
feet in length is used. The end,
which is inserted in the gun, is a
cylindrical piece of soft steel slightly
smaller than the bore of the gun
and about a foot in length. It is
tapered dgwn to a rod about a half
inch in diameter and five feet or
more in length. There is a forged
eye at the end of the rod to which
the end of the line is tied.
The line is a loosely twisted hemp
rope about the size of a wash line.
About 1,500 feet of it is woven back
and forth around wooden pins set in
a receptacle the size of a trunk,
known as a "faking box." After
this operation the box is turned upside
down, and the framework holding
the pins is withdrawn, lea9thg
the line ready to be "fed out" without
becoming tangled. Prior to the
insertion of the projectile in the
gun the first twenty or tfiirty feet
of the line are dampened, so as to
five it mere elasticity and lessen the
anger of it parting. A cartridge
contain ing about ten ounces of black
powder is inserted in the breech of
the gun, which is then aimed and
fired.
To Rimovi m Cork.
When a cork is tightly held k
the neck of a bottle and no corkscrew
is at hand the cork may be
removed in the following way: Hold
a cushion or pillow against the wall
or the door jamb, using the left
hand for this purpose.
With the right hand gently but
firmly strike the bottom of the bottle
against the cushion, being careful
to strike it sauarely and not on
the edge of the bOkem. With every
blow the cork will be forced
slowly out by the pressure of the
liquid inside. At the last spurt,
which discharges the cork, one must
be quick to right the bottle so that
none of the liquid is spilled.
Julius Caesar.
Caesar was assassinated March 15,
44 B. C., and was at the time of his
death fifty-six years old. It is not
alone as a military genius that his
fame endures. By almost common
consent he was the most remarkable
all round man of antiquity?masterfully
great not only as general, but
as writer, statesman and administrator.
In addition to these high
accomplishments, he was a great
mathematician, philologist, architect
and jurist His conversational
powers were extraordinary, and
from all accounts he was in his manner
one of the most attractive of
men.
An Ancient PrM^fcrtlon.
Medical prescriptions are often
hard to read, and there is one in
the Metropolitan Museum of Art,
New York, which is particularly
bothersome. It is on stone and
dates from about 1500 B. C., making
it no doubt the oldest prescription
in America. Men of science
say that the Egyptian physician whs
prepared it was prescribing preciois
stones, finely ground, for fumigation
in cases of hysteria. And, as often
in later times, a much more expensive
remedy was prescribed for rich
people than for the poor.

700 MILES IN MOTOR BOAT
By Crew of American Steamer
Abandoned at Sea.
.New xorK, J an i:?a voyage 01
700 miles in a motor boat from a
spot in the Atlantic ocean, where
they had abandoned their sinking
ship, to the coast of Morocco, was
the unusual experience related by
five of the crew of the American
ichooner Rob Roy, on their arrival
from Havanna today aboard the
steamship Mexico.
According to the sailors the Rob
Roy sailed from Alicante, Spain, for
Havana, and on November 18 the
vessel ran into a heavy gale. She
prang a leak, became waterlogged
and for two days drifted in this condition.
The vessel was abandoned on November
20 and the captain and crew
took to a motor boat They steered
east, hoping to pick up a passing
ship or sight land, they said.
After traveling 700 miles without
sighting another craft they landed
on the coast of Morocco and made
their way to Mogadore, Morocco,
where they appealed to the American
consul. The men were sent to
the Canary Islands. They there
boarded a Spanish steamer for Havana.
WORK WEARS ON THE KIDNEYS.
Doao's Kidney Pills Have Done Great
Service For People Who Work

Many Kingstree people work every
day in some srtained, unnatural position?bending
constantly over a desk

laborious housework; lifting,

All these strains tend to wear, weaken
and injure the kidneys until they
fall behind in their work of filtering
the poisons from the blood. Doan's
Kidney Pills are for weak kidneys,
and bad backs. Their effective work
is convincing proof of merit.
