wlnshrop's Probable Good Fortune.

1t is probable that the Winthrop Train
ing School, at Rock Hill, will come in
for n large share of the Peabody fund,
which is to be distributed by the trus-
tees within short time. The trustees
have decided to close the trust, and to
do so they will permanently distribute
the fund. Haif OF the $2,00O,OOO trust
fund has been given to the Peabody
Training School at Nashville and the
other 81 100000 is to be distributed
among a number of institutions.
1t is said on the best of authority that
the Rock Hill institution will probably
come in for larger part of the remain
ing $1,0OO,00O than any other institution
in the country.
The work done at Winthrop has greatly
impressed the trustees of the Peabody
fund, and President Roosevelt himself is
known to feel favorably toward the in
stitution. He has heard such good re-
ports Of its splendid work that he may
use his influence to see that Winthrop
gets lions share of the fund that is to
be distributed.
