The Winthrop school

Last Saturday the corAer stone OF
this institution was laid In the presence
of q large crowd estimated at 10000 to
1900. Extra trains from Clemson Col
leee and Columbia carried in several
hundred people. The regular trains
also carried many. But the large crowd
went in from the country within twenty
miles of Rock Hill. 8. p, Dendy, Grand
Master of the State, conducted the eere-
monies In laying the corner stone. Inc
name Of the institution Is winthrop
Normal and Industrial College"
Mr.. Mercer, OF Greenville. opened the
exercises with a Commute prayer which
according to the reporter, was well
worded and expressed in eloquent lan-
euaue. Governor Tillman then made
the opening address. Professor St.
James Cummings, Of Charleston, read
the dedicatory ode. Hon. Ira b. Jones
then delivered the regular address, ded-
icating the school to the education OF
woman's head, hand and heart. All
political factions united In this great
work and In the addresses there was a
notable lack of partisan abuse and VI
tuperation so common in all the public
addresses recently made. Even Clevs'
land was allowed to rest undisturbed
for one day, 80 far as public utterance
was concerned.

From Gafney.

Because you have not heard from us
for several weeks is no sign that we are
on the stand still Our most esteemed
citizen, Mr.. A. N. Wood, has just fin-
ished his new bank building He has
spared no cost in making this one Of
the best and safest repositories for
money 10 the State. He has the latest
improved time 'ck safe, and the furni-
ture and fixtures are OF the finest mate
rial and OF the latest designs We have
never seen a better equipped business
house anywhere and the town is getting
proud OF It. In this bank we would
deposit our thousands, and rest sweetly,
never fearing our check would not be
honored, but for reasons only too well
known to ourselves.
Mrs. A. v. Montgomery Is just push
ing to completion her elegant residence
It will be one OF the finest residences In
town, costing from three to four thous-
and dollars. Other like edifices are be.
ing built.
Mr.. Il. D. Wheat has enclosed the
cotton mill with nice and permanent
fence, giving to the mill the appear
ance OF q place Of pleasure rather than
work. But "things are not always
what they SEEM" and the music OF
Thousands OF spindles and the sturdy
stroke Of the loom is hourly heard both
night and day. Mr.. Wheat is arrang-
ing to erect an elegant inter denomira a
tional church for the operativ 8. This
mill has the best element Of working
men we have ever seen, law-abidfng
and God fearing men and women.
Wehave just closed a contract with tie
Viaduct manufacturin company, Of
Baltimore, for a complete system Of
telephones. They have had two Of
their phones here In operation for sew
eral weeks and they give entire salts
faction; equal In every respect to the
Bell Telephone and so much cheaper.
Only q few days now till the whole
town will bs Ole happy family, each
expressing to the other their joys and
sorrows around common fireside.
While the enterprise of the town Is
pushing onward 60 determinedly, Cupid
Is keeping apace. One of our most
charmiag g daughters is soon to be we'd
ded to one OF your best soDs. No
names yet as the cards are not out.
The general topic here Is the whiskey
Law or no law whichever 1t Is. The
town council has 80 far refused to issue
license for the sale Of liquors. They
are waiting to find ont what the law Ia
before acting. There Is considerable
talk of establishing bars just without
the town limits In case the council re-
fuses license. JAKE.

Shall we have Co-education In
Colleges and Universities?

The University OF Virginia has been
thrown open to woman. For the last
two years the fight has been going on
in that State. This is the first South
ern University that has opened the
doors to woman. By degrees all the
higher colleges will receive young
women. The tendency Is In that direc-
tion. Our female colleges are not en-
dowed. They have to be supported by
tuition fees. It IL always important
that these fees are large Hence much
attention is paid to music, art and all
those branches that come in the list OF
accomplishments. Three-fourths OF the
girls demand such training. Their par
ents prefer their daughters to become
"aecomplished" rather than distinf
guishsds Hsar female schools are Vet
'dofsg thX higher WORK sAs fssFonss ee
to blame. Now and then there a<e
girls whe do not wish to learn music
and painting and all those little attrae-
tive arts, but they wish to enter on
vigorous course OF study which will lay
the foundation for q liberal education.
For this reason colleges Of high grade
and Universities will be thrown open to
young women. This will not interfere
with the Female Colleges. For the
balance OF the century there will be
very few girls In this State that will
take q four years course in college.
Want Of preparation will be In the way.
The curriculum in our schools Ia not
such as to prepare girls for admission
into Colleges or Universities, so our
parents need not be alarmed because
co-education Is promised In the Colleges.
The Presidents of our Female Colleges
need not fear that their patronage will
be diminished, because the number sp-
plyine for admission will be very small
but co-education Is coming and we
might as we'll get ready for 1t.
Collegiate training Is more needed In
South Carolina than 1t ever has been.
The tendency In matters educational
is to the superficial, or the business
training. All that Is very we'll. That 81
better than no education at oil, bat II
we are to have men and women In the
irst half Of the next Century who pos,
sess q liberal education they will not
come from the training and technical
schools. The foundation must be laid
in that thorough training OF the mind
secured through the study Of language,
literature, mathematics and the sciences.
The one who Is ignorant Of Greek and
Roman literature. however much he
may know about other things, cannot
lay claim to liberal education. II a
few girls In the next decade, should en-
ter Colleges there need be no cause fol
alarm. Neither sex will be unsexed
thereby, nor will the ordinary educs'
tional methods te disturbed.

The Political Outlook.

There is nothing new in State politics
this week. The Senator's election Will
depend on the me nbers elected to the
Legislature. That being the case, IL
will be necessary for each candidate 10
declare whether he will support Till
man or Butler. That will give Us two
sets Of candidates. The voter who has
no choice between Tillman and Butler
will select his men from both sets ana
vote for his personal friends, or for
those te considered the I es. men. But
as geeral thing the Reform voters Will
align themselves according to thelr
choice for Senator. The Conservatives
are not taking any interest In the mat
ter for they do not know whether they
will be allowed to vote or not. 1t Will
be best for them to sit on the fence ana
watch the Reformers. They will have
infinitely more fun while thus engaged
and they will not be chagrined with
disappointment after the election Is
over.
Besides Tillman and Butler there ere
other issues. The dispensary is the
first one. Tillman will contend Tor
that as it is. He will fight for 1t to the
last. His friends and supporters In
every county will stand up to him.
The Butler cand idates will oppose the
dispensary as 1t has been managed and
advocate the Gothenberg plan which
will take the profit and spy'system out
of the business. Or they will advocate
Prohibition, or q general license law
that will restrict saloon keepers much
more than heretofore.
Tillman will endeavor to bring the
Convention into the canvass, but as
the question will not come to vote
until November, it may not receive
much attention.
Populism may enter into the canvass
for Governor Tillman is an open and
ayowed Third Party man and he hopes
to carry the State with him In the next
Presidential campaign.
There may be other issues but We do
not know what they are. Neither do
We know the standard bearers. 1t Is
said that. five of our members Of the
LEGISLATURE will give their support to
Tillman without any reservation. This
Is only a rumor and we cannot vouch
for it. II that Is 80 and they all ask for
re election they will need only one more
candidate. The Butler candidates
have not been discovered yet. But the
knowing ones say they will be forth
coming in time for the campaign. All
Won have to do Is to wait and watch.
The Carolina Spartan. [volume] (Spartanburg, S.C.) 1852-1896, 1894-05-16

1t is q striking commentary onaover.
nor Tillman's public fpeeches ia. !.
should be considered worthy CfApecial
remark that in bis r ,ck Hill address at
the laying OF tha corner stone Of the
girls college be used DC Language that
was in appropriate to the aesasion.
The Governor should make pote oi
that cri icism. II Wade Hsmptsn Col.
John P. Thomas, DR.. Grisr or President
Carlisle had made q speech thre on
that accAsion no one would hsve ef-
pscted . thought OF expression from
either OF them, which dill not sccord
with GOOD taste and clean lanpage.
Bat when the Governor Of the states
speaks even to a miked audlsncs. 1t h
a matter Of surprise that he doel not
shock the senslbilitles OF Ills audience
by something that should Lot bssaid.
Verify the Governor is Improving and
the Conservatives are rejoicing.

The editors OF the State are dropping
into poetry gracefully. 1t Is good
sign. Even Tillman at Rock Hill quoted
some of his Fifth Reader poetry, which
he learned at school. When be begins
on poetry he let's up on his friends the
"dogs, moccasins aad buzzards" as be
calls all who do not agree with him. 1t
ia said that General Hemphill even con
templates sort Of epic, Of which "ku-
dolf Roderick OF Long Cane" will be the
hero. Of course his friends know
who is hidden behind the fictitious
name. We expect Brer Holmes to follow
soon on the MUD Turkle" or some other
subject he understands. Harmony will
prevail when the muses. have O corner
