COLLEGE BUILDING
OUR VERY OWN

Our people as they watch
the rapid progress that is be-
ing made on the college build
ing should experience a thrill
of pardonable pride in the fact
that the property is our very
own and that it is not to be
donated to any Individual or
set of individuals when COM
pleted. Many towns have been
thankful an opportunity to
boad themselves to contrib
ute to the building of college
property and when con1plet-
ed the title would be- vested
in others and not in the mu-
nicipality. Greenwood and
Williamson college, Rock
Hill and Winthrop are cases
in point. Not SO with Edge
field. We are so fortunate as
to be able to erect the build
ing and own it. And what is
more. we Lave a man on the
spot who has repeatedly
shown himself to be eminent
ly fitted for conducting such
an institution of learning here
in Edgefeld as would be an
honor to cities of ten times
,the magnitude of our town.

SNOW PLOUCHS ARE
AGAIN IN STYLE
Locomotives Are Gotten in
Readiness tor Winter
BY ALL THE RAILROADS
Engines Garry Equipment Re-
CARELESS of Temperature.

Many Wichitans who happened IN the
vicinity Of the Frisco passenger station
yesterday thought it a huge joke, no
doubt, when they beheld all Of that COM
pany's incoming locomotives equipped
with snow ploughs, and yesterday was
one Of the warmest days in several
weeks
1T looks funny said A. r. Deem, city
ticket clerk for the Frisco, "but those
ploughs are liable to come in handy be-
fore one Of the engines has gone a dis
lance of 100 miles from Wichita. The
weather conditions of this country are
such that the railroad compan MES deem it
advisable to have their locomotives in
readiness for a snow storm any time
Commencing at a certain date. usually
about December Is, most of the railroads
doing business in this country begin to
fiji all of their passenger locomotives with
snow ploughs. The equipment is gener-
ally carried until the winter months are
past and there is no further danger of
snow.
The only places that snow ploughs are
kept are those at which the different COM
panies have shops. As these places are
selected usually $50 or 200 miles apart, an
engine caught in a snow storm without
plough would not make very good time.
Small pleughs are all that are used in
this part of the country, but while they
are not needed often, when they are
wanted they are wanted badly. There are
outs in some of the tracks running
through Wichita that while not deep a
three-inch snowfall will make the tracks
impossible and cause considerable delay
to a train drawn by an engine that is not
equipped with snow plough added the
railroad man
