THE NOVEMBER BALLOT.

The Secretary of State has sent out |
to the several county ticket commits |
sioners the general form of ballot to be
voted at the presidential election, Nov.
9th. The ballot contains the names of
the Democratic, Republican and Pop
ulist electors and the names of the
candidates for congress, making TWEEN
ty-niue names where there are two
nominees for congress. The ticket
also contains the two amendments to
the constitution which will be submit
ted to the people for ratification or re-
lection. These are to be voted on by
marking cross opposite the words
"yea" or may" printed underneath.
For the amendments to carry it is nec-
essary that they receive majority of
the highest number of votes cast at the
election. A failure to vote will, under
the decision of the supreme court in
the famous Noel amendment case, be
equivalent to vote in the negative.
The following is the sample ticket

Summer Girls Shock Minister WI.

A Cape May Telegram to the Chi
cago Chronicle says: Chinese Minis
ter Wu Ting Fang went on straw
ride with his nephew, Fang Choa
Shee, Saturday night. -Four horses,
dccked with sleigh bells and plumcs,
hauled hay cart half full of straw.
The minister had the seat of honor
at the head of the load A dozen
pretty Cape May damscls, with their
beauty, crowded in. Minister WI
was delighted until by the light of
one OF the japanese lanterns he saw
the arm of a gallant young fellow
steal around the waist of one of the
girls.
In China this would be most
shocking breach of the peace. The
Chinese minister looked to see the
girl resent the advance. Instead,
her white hand found that Of her
sweetheart under the straw and held
it. WI saw later that gentle hug
ging was being INDUCED in by other
members of the party.
Minister Wu had been brought up
to different things. Taking the arm
of his nephew firmly in his hand he
pulled him to the tail of the wagon
and alightcd.
"Wc need exercise, and we will
walk homc," he said, and politely
saying "good night" he and the
young man went to the hotel across
lots.
There was IN awkward pause, un-
til pretty girl somewhere in the
semi darkness remarked in n whis.
per: "Wcll, you know the Chinese
arc not thoroughly organized any
way"
The minister will say nothing az to
his reasons for leaving the party. lie
only says the women Of China do not
go on straw rides.

Corsets Shown at the Fair.

A special from Psris says: In all
the previous fairs of all countries
there never was such show Of COR
sets as there is at the corset section,
placed next to the gowns. That is
because there is revolution in cor
sets. They are now all made straight
up and down in front, sending the
curves on the hips and in the back,
and each exhibitor makes point of
accentuating that particular cut more
than his ncighbor. In one showcase
there is the picture of one heshy
woman with the old fashioned COR
set curved in the front and por-
trait of one with the new pattern.
The last does look better because
she looks more at ease. Fleshy
women were in torturcs when tightly
laced in an old corset. Now they
can smile even after big dinner and
as all women are now straight up
and down up to the hips she does
not mind having no shape where
there ought to be shape.
As for the corset of the slender
women they design a strait line on
all sides, up and down, down and up.
1t is the style to conceal all fcminin-
ity with corscts, and, strange to say,
when a woman is well gowncd the
style is graceful, for it gives scrpen-
tine look to the woman.
Not long since ali American
woman said to me at the opera: "It
is astonishing how woman will

and the farming community is max.
ing good use of it. All are busy
pulling fodder, saving hay, picking
cotton, etc.
The sorghum crop is the poores,

almost ruined it; hardly enough
made in this section for a good sized

at South Union Sunday. Rev. G.
Wardiaw preached an elegant doc
trinal sermon, of which we heard
many favorable comments. The sac.
rament of the Lords supper was par
ticipated in by members of the
church.
The Sunday school at South Union
is in fine condition, as is evidenced
by an offering Sunday of more than
ten dollars for the Connie Maxwell
Orphanage. There was also collec-
ton raised of more than two dollars
by the congregation for the same
noble charity.

candidates for their exceeding kind
ness in keeping entirely away from

OF the difference in campaigning now
and ante-bellum days. In the latter
the candidate would make house to
house canvass, kiss all the babies,
swear that every one was the pretti-
est, thereby cnlisting the mother on
his side, which insured him the vote
of that family, but now the candi.
date stands in with banker, who
unites to the lien merchant; then
the candidate goes to see all the
cross roads lien merchants, kisses
them and the campaign work is
done. "Where are we at?" Oh,

good old Democracy, when every
body will vote for only who they
please.

Wlnsome Women Hard al Work.

A special from Rock Hill says
The Winthrop doors are wide open
and Winthrop girls are coming in
from every quarter Of the State. The
Southern railway station has been
alive with people and vehicles for
the past three or four days. Tues
day, however, was the great day.
The girls began to come in early in
the morning, but that night the
rush was greatest of all. Extra
coaches had been put on both roads,
the Three C's and the Southern.
The station was crowded with citi-
zens from Rock Hill who had come
out in full force to welcome the girls.
Everybody seemed happy that once
again the merry school girls were to
brighten the town with their pres
ence.
Arrangements had been made so
that there should be as little confu-
sion as possible in handling the
crowds.
OPENING EpERCISES.
Wednesday morning the students
assembled in the chapel for the open :
ing exercises. 1t was inspiring to
see that large auditorium fuller than
ever of earnest young women who
had come here to prepare themselves
for life's work.
President Johnson welcomed the
students to make the most of the
great opportunities which had been
given them-the opportunity OF
securing college cducation-thcir
obligation to do this being doubly
great since they were filling places
eagerly desired by some of the hun
dreds Of girls who could not be adj
mittcd for lack Of room.
ENRoLLMENT.
The enrolment this year is greater
than ever. The dormitory is full
and all available houses near the
college. There were $40 applicants,
and, of course, many of these were
denied entrance, as there are accom-
modations for only 2G2 in the dor
mitory, and the boarding house ac.
commodations outside are limited
After rooms were assigned to old stu.
dents there were only places for sc
new students, Notwithstanding the
fact that G2 graduates went out
from Winthrop last year. The col
legc has on file applications received
for admission year hcncc-thc ap-
plicants stated that they applied a
year in advance in order to be sure
of getting in. This necessity vii
be done away with next session
when the new dormitory will be
completed, equipped and ready fol
