them being the one called CIV IT,
should the wives of professional men
be named?" On dainty little cards
were written the names of thirty-two
professional men with the question,
"What should his wife be named"
or each one, there of course being a
blank to fill out. Here, for example,
are two of the questions: Name OF
lawyer, "Sue"; name OF gambler,
"Bet," ard so on Misses Lucy Reed
and Eva Rollins being particularly apt
at "catchiRg on" to the problems were
awarded the prize, whilst Misses Belya
DuBoss and Eva Verdier, in stopping
to laugh over the first few they had
solved, found themselves at the and of
the game in possession of the BOBBY
prize.
At "reasonable hour" the guests
were ushered into the dining room
whsre the beautifully set tables were
laden with everything most tempting
TO the palate. After the banquet all
retired to the parlors where the rest Of
the evening passed quickly and pleas
antly until the hands of the clock
neared the hour of twelve when "good
nieht'' were -el"ctauGly taken.
The next thing to be locked forward
to is the annual outing. President
johnson had made arrangements to
take Us to Charleston, but as only one
hundred and ninetsen girls registered
their names for the trip, and it was
necessary to get two hundred and
forty before the car could be chartered,
the trip had to be given up. To those
who had set their hearts on taking it,
it was quite a disappointment. At
Winthrop one always has to bear in
mind the words, "Majerity Rules;
ssaa=zai;aEity- o. the Winthrop
girls prefer shorter ana iess expeT-
sive trip, President johnson and the
'minority"-in this ease those who
preferred going ID, Charleston-are
trying to forget their disappointment,
and next week they will be ready to
join the "majority" 10 matter where
they may 60 and enjoy the picnic to
the fullest extent. Nelle.

THE Georgia newspapers are urging
the Importance of full an! repre-
sentative meeting at Macon to discuss
the cotton situation. If ali of the cot
ton States should determine to cor
troll the production of cotton, the
farmers could fix the price of cotton
to suit themselves. We have little
faith in conventions. The facts,
though, should be showed before the
farmers every now and then, and
maybe after time they will see the
folly of planting 30 much cotton.
Cotton is the largest item Of export
that this country produces. At six
cents it brings about $500, ,eOo,Co at
seven cents SS5O.oOo,ooo; at eight
cents s4OO,OOO,ooo. Farmers could
make it bring $500, 100000

OUR WINTHROP LETTER.

Rock Hill, May 3.-As usual thing,
the college concert always given in
April, is considered the best Of The
Star Course. This yesr Prof. Strong
drilled the Cecilia Chorus in the opera,
"Pinafol e." for the occasion. On
last Friday night the college audito-
rum held large and expectant audi
ence. From the time that the curtain
first rose until tire end Of the opera
the chorus girls, row "Gailor boys"
wearing the conventional blouse and
blue "Tam O'Shanter" caps, held the
attention of the audience.
The principals acted their parts
well; they were as follows:
Miss Lila Neal, as Sir Joseph Porter,
X. c. B
Miss Ella Mcdaniel, as Coptain or
coraD.
Miss Lula Jones, as Ralph Rsck-
shaw.
Mrs. Kuria Strong, as Josephine.
Miss Aneta Hall, as Hebe.
Miss Leora Douthit, as Buttercup.
Many were the compliments show
cred upon them, and they were not
given undeselvedly. The Iredcll o.
chestra assisted in some Of the cho-
ruses. All expressed themselves
pleased With the opera and some even
say they wish Prof. Strong would give
it over.
On Saturday night the Juniors en-
tertained the "Clsss Of 1900" at a
charming reception. The college par
lors, which are handsome within
themselves, were this evening unusu-
ally resplendent; special hooks and
.;rozy :orDers," palms aud potted
plants, cat flowers and evergreens
added beauty and brightness to the
