Increase Woflord Endowment.

The trustees of Wofford College havo
under consideration plans for increasing
the endowment fund of the institution.
The matter was considered at the meet
ing of the trustees in Spartanburg this
week, but no action was taken. The
present endowment of the college is
S63,0O0. The trustees want to increase
this sum by 100000, and they are do
batting the best means of doing so. It is
likely that canvassing agent will be
put in the field if suitable man can be
found, but the trustees have taken no
final action as yet, and until they get all
their plans matured they will not give
out any thing to the public. The college
now has an enrolment of 325 students,
the greatest number in it's history, and
the necessity for an increased amount of
money is getting to be very pressing.
The new Science Hall, presented to the
college by John B. Cleveland, is about
completed and will soon be ready for
use, Sci .-..,

Proverbs

When the butter won't

churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be.
cause it is so perfectly adapted
to their wants. z
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
