INTERESTING LETTERS FROM CLUB GIRkS AT WINTHROP Rock Hill, S. C., June 13, 1922. Dear Editor: The State Home Demonstration Short Course is now in session with an attendance of about 400 women and girls from all parts of the state. The 200 girls have been arked to write letters to their homefolks telling of their impressions of Winthrop and their experiences here. These letters have been collected and read, and the best ones from girls in your county are enclosed for use in the next issue j of your paper. We feel t=ure the peo~ :iI i :?i A.?i i i-i- ! |iiu win uc mtert'Bveu in seeing leut'rh from their girls who ha/e the privilege of being here. Hoping that you can use this material, I am . Yours very truly, * Mrs. Laura Builey Ranch, Assistant State Agent in Chairge of Girls' Club Work. Dear Homefolks: I came to Winthrop, not because I just wanted to come for a good time, but I was sent here to learn all I could to take home with me and I will assure you I am learning something. I have been judging canned products, judging poultry, studying health education, and going to chapel. I also went to church Sunday morning and enjoyed the sermon which was delivered. I want to say that I enjoy being here, and I hope I may come here to College when I have finshed High School. I think it is so nice of Dr. Johnson to give us the chance to be here and not have to pay a cent for board or anything. It is a great pleasure to meet our classes and enjoy a pleasant lecture or something of the kind from the ladies, who are teaching us. We had a nice time over in the Main building last Friday night, at the party which Dr. Johnson gave for the benefit of the ones who are attending the short course. Refreshments were served and games played, also a few yells for Winthrop went ringing from the clutwgirla. h - ? We have a jolly time at the gymnasium, marching, playing games, singing, etc. ir ~X* a . I xx any ui you want to see a crowa I of club girls, just come to Winthrop] and you can see any kind you are j looking for, I mean pretty, ugly, old and young. I think this is a nice place for any one to come to, and too, we are getting plenty of good, nice food to eat. I could just write all day about Winthrop and what I am learning up here but my time is limited. Lovingly, Annie Lee Clark. Dear Homefolks: I came to Winthrop to this short course to lfcarn new things and more i things and then go back home and teach other girls that did not get the 1 chance to come. Winthrop is the best place a girli can come to get an education, and is recommended as the greatest college, for farm people and all other kinds. I think this college has the prottiest! campus of any college T have ever seen or heard of. All the buildings are most beautiful and everything is planned in the most convenient way. Besides all that we are learning, we are given many pleasures?most every night there is something given for enjoyment to the girls. The second night we were given a reception in the parlors of the Main building. We had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Johnson, president of Winthrop XCollege, and many of the guests and county agents. Dr. Johnson gave us a most cordial welcome and told of how much interested he was in this work. He called this class of people the prize winning women of America. We visited the museum, which is a most interesting one. I hope every girl will be able to come to this college sometime in her life. Yours sineerely, Lucile Brower.

Laney, of Chesterfiel prefaced his. remarks with a brii ) statement that he was brought out 1 no clique and was the creature of r machine. 'I'm a free lance in this ra< just as I have been a free lance fi J 20 years in the two houses of tl general assembly. I'm tied to no mn or woman,' he said. "Mr. Laney made a vigorous speed stressing with particular emphas measures looking to relief in taxatio and the enforcement of laws. Tl: condition of the people was not ii cident to. the legislature. No thinl uiK man wouici oiame me legisiatui for the financial straits in which tVi people found themselves. It is due t the war, followed by the stern real ties of deflation. "Mr. Laney pointed to measurt which the last general assembly ha passed in effort to distribute the bui den of taxes. He called attention t the state income tax, inheritance ta and gasoline tax measures. The trot ble was there was too much tax of vif ible property, real estate and persor al property. 'If succeeding generi assemblies continue this effort to ta hitherto untouched sources the tim will come when a levy on this fo state purposes will not be necessarj thus leaving such levy wholly fo county purposes,' he said. The thin that is needed, he said is reclassifies tion. Mr. Laney has faith in the abili ty of the people to meet the presen crisis, and believes that they wi! weather the economic storm as the; have overcome hardships of othe years. None Would Reduce "Directing attention to the fact tha the larger amounts in the appropria tion bill are for the school, the Con federate veterans and the State Hos n;f~i _ T ?.?J ...uu pitai, ivii. uaut*^ ai^ucu nuu tcuuij force. Following each citation, h would inquire if there were a ma or woman in the audience who woul cut this amount. Not a hand wn raised. "The Chesterfield candidate mad bold to assure that if elected ther would be strict enforcement of th laws. 'I favor the enforcement o law. Without the enforcement of hr our firesides are not safe, life, libert and property are not safe and eivi ization will vanish. I tell you I will er force the law and the people wh know me know that I will. I have bee in the legislature 20 years. They knoi me. Ask them.'
