ELIZABETH COLLEGE.
A Newberrian Writes of this Noble lnstltn-
tion and the Beautiful City of Homes.

Jig, spent amidst the lovely scenes
and health giving water OF Eupeptlc
Sulphur Springs, North Carolina
| we are resting in this beautiful city
of homes, and it may interest some
friends of Elizabeth College to learn
Of it's present prospects and appoint
ments for the we'll being OF its stu
dent body. This fine institution OF
learning is situated out of the town
proper, but reached by electric car
line soon to be completed, and on a
commanding emmineDce giving a
beautiful view of Charlotte and sur
rounding country: This college ls
complete in it's appointments for the
health and comfort of it's student
| body. The bed rooms are large and
furnished with oak sets, iron beds
two IN a room,' chairs, tables, etc.,
and are heated by steam and car
peted with art squares, bath rooms
in plenty with toilet separate. The
culinary department is most excellent
in detail. Steel ranges line one side
of the large kitchen and pipes con-
vey all odors from the building, coal
storage and an old fashioned brick
bake oven for baking breads are
added to this important part OF do
mestic economy. The dining hall is
in good taste, we'll lighted, furnished
with China closets and sests at tables
over one hundred. The laundry on
first floor is we'll arranged and all
modern ideas fully carrie1 out in this
department. But the crowning glory
of Elizabeth College is her conserVa-
tory of music--a building especially
set apart for the study of music.
Here are twenty Stieff pianos, one in
each studio, so each student has time
and quiet for practice; also a studio
for violin practice, and all that a
lover of music seeks may here be
found. A director of music who
studied his art in the great cities OF
the old world, and corps OF as,
sistant teachers whose fame is heard
outside the physical boundaries OF
several States. The chapel has a
grand organ and two pianos, with
seating capacity for a great number,
and the opening day, 18th of Sep
tember, will see this fine auditorium
filed with girls from every section OF
our country, and we trust that it may
be a continued success and are sure
that the Lutherans of South Caro-
lima will never forget their obligation
to sustain this college for their girls
as we'll as they have that of Newberry
College for their boys. To its coar-
teous president, DR.. King, we are IN
debted for the pleasure OF driving
over to view it's many attractions, and
we trust that untiring devotlon-zeal
in the welfare of this institution and
that of his student body will bring
to him a full measure of success IN
the near future as in the past.
Charlotte is certainly city OF
homes. Nowhere have we seen 80
many lovely homes, beautiful green
lawns and we'll cultivated flower yards
and magnificent trees. The grass
here is so green and rich, the flowers
so bright and shade so inviting that
it rests the eyes and charms the
senses of one accustomed to gaze on
| the grand Carnigie library dome and
adjacent magnificent churches on
Tryon. street. The First Presbyte.
rien church has a membership OF Six
hundred and covers whole block IN
its territory. The Lutherans have
also q handsome church, while the
Methodists are justly proud of their
five churches, and the fact also that
Bishop Coke Smith will live. here and
arrangements are now made for him.
He will occupy handsome home on
East Avenue, and we feel certain he
will be delighted with. his new home
and people here.
The educational advantages OF
Charlotte ara not the least Of her at
fractions. but count great deal for
her heuetit. The graded schools
here are immense, and over one thou
sand students IN one and seven or
