Columbia, Dec. 23.?Pointing out that the past session of Winthrop College has been notable in some respects and that much progress has been made in all departments, D. B. Johnson, the president, has prepared his annual report, which will be submitted at the forthcoming session of the general assembly. .The enrollment of students was the largest by 40 in the history of the institution, the total number reaching 745. He points out that student government noa aubtcasiuiijr liiau^uiaitu Willi wholesome effect in developing selfcontrol and character among the students and strengthening the feeling of responsibility on their part for the spirit and atmosphere of the colv*-' lege. In the report it is shown that the preparation of new students for collego work was better on account of i stricter enforcement of the higher entrance requirements. The college this year granted its first M. A. degree. He points out that the executive and teaching force was increased and strengthened. Summary of Results. Summarizing the results contained during the year it is stated that an open air school was conducted as an experiment with the result that the average gain in weight for the session of the children in the open air school exceeded that of the indoqr k ' school children by three-quarters of a pound and the average gain in height by one-fourth of an inch; many improvements were made on the farm, resulting with the careful management of the superintendent, in the largest profit, $2,078.28, from the sale of the products of the farm ever secured from that same source; the college grounds were added to by the purchase of some very desirable lots in the immediate vicinity of the training school, aggregating 400 feet front; the erection of two lnrge and important buildings, the training school and the industrial arts and science building, sorely needed for a number of years, was begun; provision was made for the .much needed enlargement of the auditorium, the infirmary, the waterworks plant, the power house and heating plant, for the employment of three addiional critic teachers, thus strengthening materially the normal department, and for the extension work in household economics, home and rural school sanitation, especially in mill j - and rural districts. During the year the first appropriation for the WinThrop summer school was made. " Increase in Morals. "While rejoicing at-the advance of the college in material and educational matters during the past year," says the report, "we feel that we have greater cause for rejoicing in increase in morals and spiritual earnestness and power of the students as manifested in their self government work and in all their religious and social activities. Brick and mortar and equipment and organization do not make a college, though very necessary for it to accomplish its best work. The steam entrine. though strongly and scientifically constructed, is a dead thing without steam." The report shows that for this session the enrollment in the college classes is 768?512 old and 246 new students. The enrollment in the training school, including both the kindergarten and the rural school, is 328 and the summer school 485. There were 1,181 formal applicants for admission to the college last summer. Of this whole number of applicants many were not prepared for ' college work and were advised to at tend their schools longer befort attempting to take up college work. "The number of students in the normal department this year receiving professional training for teaching is 707 out of 758 enrolled," says the I report. *" * It is stated in the report that the health of the students during the years has been most excellent and that there was not a single case of serious illness. There are now 90 officers and teachers employed by the college. "Winthrop college stands for public service and rejoices that it is now equipped to render this service effect k ively for the most vital interest of the state, the home and schools of the people both urban and rural," says the report.

(Spartanburg Herald) The pupils and patrons of the school at Lolo were thrown into a great state of excitement Saturday night at a Christmas enterainment by the alleged boiserous conduct of Bob Blalock and several of his followers. Many women, it is said, became panic-stricken and fled from the school room, while others came near fainting. . Officers Coat is Cut. The trouble, it is alleged, was started by Bob Blalock, and when Officer Case attempted to take him in charge and eject him from the schoolroom, he is said to have pulled out his knife and slashed the officer across the breast, cutting a long gash in his coat. He is also accused of having picked up a rock and threatened to strike Mr. Case. Several citizens of Lolo came into Spartanburg yesterday and swore out warrants for the arrest of Bob Blalock, John Blalock, Jess Blalock, Hollis Tuck and Parker Cudd. Bob Blalock is charged with selling liquor assault and battery and creating a disturbance at a public gathering, while the other defendants and charged with disorderly conduct. * A large number of people had gathered at the school house at Lo lo to witness the Christmas celebration given by the pupils of the school. The program was an interesting one and was being enjoyed by the large crowd when suddenly a disturbance arose and the exercises were halted until quiet could be restored. Officer Case stepped in to stop the disturbnce and when he laid hands on Bob Blalock, it is said, the latter's frignds seized him and prevented him from arresting Blalock.

BLUE AND GREY, ALIKE. Preparations to Care for Veterans at Gettysburg Encampment. Washington, December 30?The war department is making plans to care for the feeding and shelter of the army of veterans, Confederate as well as Federal, who are to attend the encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic on the battlefield of Gettysburg next July, when the fiftieth anniversary of the great battle will Capt. Harry F. Dalton, quartermasters' corps, as assistant to Major Normoyle, the deputy quartermaster here, who is charged with the military arrangements. Both officers have been authorized to proceed to the battlefield. It is estimated 40,000 veterans must be placed under canvas and fed next July, so that a great deal of work must be done to prepare quarters and get proper water supply. The 9r^Sftt dent of the United States, tne Governors of States and other notables who attend the celebration will be quartered in the Academy buildings and fraternity houses of the local colleges, but the bulk of the visitors must be "heltered in tents. As the average age of the survivors of the battle will be about 72 years next July, this will be a somewhat hazardous proceeding. Southern Panama Canal Conference Washington, Dec. 26.?President Finley, of the Southern Railway Co. and the Mobile & Ohio Railroad Co., referring today to the organization it Atlanta Ga., on the 11th instant if the Southern Panama Canal Conference, with a permanent organization to work for the development of trade between the Southeastern States and the markets that will be brought into closer relations with the South Atlantic and gulf ports by the opening of the Panama Canal said: "It is the hope of those who participated in the formation of this organization that it may prove to be an efficient agency for co-operation with manufacturers and merchants throughout the Southeastern States and with all of the South Atlantic and Gulf ports for the building up of a large and profitable business with the Latin-American countries. "The people of those countries produce large quantities of commodities consumed in the United States and are constantly buying increased quantities of commodities that can successfully be produced in the Southeastern States. "As illustrating the fact that this traffic can successfully be moved through Southern ports, I may men tion that there are now regular steamships sailing from the port of Mobile to Montevedio and Buenos Ayres and that these vessels carry full cargoes on each trip. At present these vessels carry return cargoes from South America to the North Atlantic ports, but efforts are being made to develop the handling of return cargoes through Mobile. It is exDected that this sorviro will bo ov. paneled to cover the principal Pacific Coast ports of Central and South America as soon as the Panama Canal has been completed. "The possibilities for the development of trade with the Latin-American countries are so great as to open opportunities to other Southern ports as well as to Mobile, and it is the purpose of the Southern Panama Canal Conference and the railways t have the honor to represent to be helpful as far as practicable in the building up of this business." BLUE MONDAY. (From the Chicago Journal) Of course everything has gone crooked, As crooked as things can well go. Of course deepest gloom is your portion And storm clouds are gathering low. f You're filled with deep, dark disappointments, In all the world there's no friend; Your trouble will surely o'erwhelm you, They never will come to an end. Your grocery bill is a corker; Your note is past due at the bank; They're going to foreclose on the homestead Unless you put up with a yank; Your automobile has grown balky, The kitchen roof's sprung a great leak, y. And there are nine thousand more troubles Of which you would just love to speak. wi *u: i lien biunge seem as Dad as they can be, Just lay all your cares o nthe shelf. There are some folks worse off than you are; You should be ashamed of yourself. WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE I IN SOUTH CAROLINA. I read* with much interest the letter "From Far Away Idaho". It seems a misserable pity that a woman should have to go so far away from home to enjoy the privilege and pleasure of voting, especially when the reports come to us that all places where women vote they have the most ideal government and the best and most satisfactorv school svstom It is appearant now that the women of this State will vote in the near future. It seems that the lawmakers have decided to consider the question of woman suffrage at their next meeting at Columbia. The Federal Woman's Suffrage Association has just had a bill introduced in the United States Congress to make women eligible to vote for members of the House of Representatives in every state of the Union. Whether this liberty to vote is granted by the state law or the national law or by both, it comes to the humble, peaceable quiet, patient women of South Carolina without being much sought after by them. It seems to come as a divine Providence for good. Each and every woman should strive to make themselves competent and worthy of the I groat jesnonaibilitv. Eliza A. Garner. Kelton, S. C. Thanks to Santa Claus. Dear Santa Claus: I was very glad to get the nice presents you sent me. You gave nie the very things I wanted. Many thanks, Margaret Pittman. When meeting a woman these days with "Mrs." affixed to her name, it is the part of wisdom to learn if it is present or past tense before inquiring too particularly about her hubby.
