The monoplane, painted a pure 1 white, darted at greet speed over the harbor. The motors devdaiMd a ; speed at times of from 76 to lOfr ' miles an hour. An examination of the aneriod barometer after th* 11 showed that at times the daring pilot had darter to a height of 6,000 feet. On the return the great machine was seen to wobble in the gusty breeze. The setting of the last act of the disaster could not have been more spectacular. It was sunset. The great white wings of the machine swept directly into the West and dip ped toward the earth. There was an upward flash of the tail and, outlined in their red light of the West, the man and woman were seen to plunge from the seats to the bay?1,000 feet ' bejow? to death. AN INTERESTING LETTER. The following letter and the account of the summer school at Winthrop was written by a young lady ' who is now in attendance upon the school there, and shows what pluck '< can do. What this young lady is do ing others could do. In the hope that both these communications will stimulate some young lady to do as this one is doing, we gladly publish the letters: Rock Hill, S. C., June 16, 1912. My Dear Grandpa, You must excuse my great haste, but we have planned a tour through the town tonight and it is nearly time to go. I appreciate your wanting me to write for the paper, but I am sorry that I am not able to do any better. I have written a little something but I want to request of you that you do not sign my name to it. The work over here is verv hard indeed, but I am becoming used to it, tho' at first I was in for going back to Jonesville The doors of Winthrop College were thrown open to all the teachers of South Carolina, on the 18th of June; not many came until late that afternoon and on Wednesday. Nojv we have about four hundred teachers and more come every day. YfiHodf bririJfies of studtSf arcTfeing taught, and Dr. Johnson has tfoen very fortunate in securing the best teachers that could be found. The Training School is in session during our school hours and all of the teachers wishing to attend can do so for an hour and a half each day. Much benefit may be derived from this work and every teacher who can possible in these rooms. Prof. Tate is giving instructions concerning the rural schools. Miss Russell ,the supervisor of rural schools in York county ,also gives methods about the school. Dr. Johnson gave the Winthrop girls a chance to attend the school by offering them a scholarship in the dining room. Eighteen of the girls returned, and they are required to work for a certain length of time, then they may go to classes or do what /hey will during their leasure time. These girls are not required to pay any board or any of the expenses that the rest have to pay. Every night we have splendid lectures given by some of our men. Last night Dr. Snyder gave his first talk. Each time a very good crowd is present and seem to enjoy the lectures very much and I am sure that much benefit is derived from them ,also.
