for necessary enlargements. Or
daughters, the girls OF South Carolina,
have been exceedingly modest in
asking for help in behalf OF their
education.
You will pardon us for reminding
you that they have asked for but little
and have received less, which means
that they had to assume u debt con-
tracted by Il former generation for
brick and mortar and for building.
and they had To pay all cuIreLt en-
penses, repairs, Insurance and in

como when something must be done
for u girls. Tardy Justice should
linger no longer, and preferred claims
should cease. he Columbia Female
College is rGRching out her charred
and blistered hand pleading for help.
We are willing to burn if the fire that
consumes us would warm our fathers,
mothers, brothers and sisters unto
helpful sympathy with us.
The call ior help for the education
OF our girls as well US for our boys can
no longer be put aside as Il fad, Other
Christian communities have regarded
the call with favor and within the
last few years colleges for women have
been handsomely equipped and amply
endowed.
Our Commonwealth for civil and
logical reasons has needed the call
which experience has verified by the
extensive and expensive preparations
now going ON at Rock Hill. s. G., in
