EoffOfd'S Opening.

tofAhl ANSUhlTj pCpI. IL
Wofford had the greatest open
ing this session that haj ever
been known in her history. There
are enrolled on the freshman
class about one.hundred and five
students now, and the rDll IS
gra 1ually increasing. Til other
classes have an increase nearly
equal to the Freshman, although
the number is not quite as large
in any as the Freshman class.
| think every county in the
State is represented by one or
more boys. and there are some

There are some new instruct
ors in the faculty for this term
both in the college and the fitting
school, and we expect to receive
all attention needed (perhaps
more than we wish for, some
times).
The Y. M. G. A. is going to
give a big reception on Friday

students.
Refreshments are to be ser

crowded, but room will be made
for all.
Some of the boys both in Col

prove fatal. r LEO CARTER.

The half-mill penalty tax referred
to by the Mail is levied only for the
purpose of enforcing prohibition,
when, in the Governors opinion the
people in any county are not exert
ing themselves as they should to
keep down blind tigers. 1t has
never been collected i'll any county
and if the dispensai yites will CO.
operate with lis enforcing prohibi-
ton, we need not be disturbed over
the half mill penalty tax.
Again We quote from the Mail:
"Now what about the town profits:
kingstree last year got S3G3l.33;
Lake City got S2SSl. AS: and Scran-
ton got S6G5.7S. In fact .the total
profits that wens to these towns was
only S6l7S.59-iust half of what
the county got. The county is there
fore getting the lions share of the
profits and the man who votes
against the dispen$ary to spite the
towns Is not only showing his ig&-
ance but is voting an additional la
of 4 mills on his property"
The Mail seems to he a trifle off in
its addition. The three towns re-
ferred to get $7,17s.59, instead of
S6,l7S SO, as our friend has it.
The question of relative profits of
town and county has really no bear
ing upon this discussion save to ex-
cite the prejudice of the country peo-
pie and We deprecate the Nails ref
erence to the matter, but since it has
been lugged in We want the matter
clearly stated. The Mail says that
the county is getting the lions share
OF the dispensary money. So 1t lss
getting all in fact; for the towns are
all in the county. But, as our con-
temporary is well aware, the town
people and the country people both
share equally IN the money received
from the State dispensary and the
one-ha!f of the profits of the county
that goes into the county
treasury. Then, in addition to this,
the towns of Kingstree, Lake City
and Scranton get, among the three,
the other half of the county dispen-
sary profits, which last year amount
ed to $7,17S.59.
The Mail claims about $4,000
year to the county and says that this
money stays at home. This may be
true, but what about the $4,000 or
more year that goes out of the
county to bring in this $4,000?
Does such an exchange pay from a
business standpoint?

Sister Of Rogers. Locomotive builder,
Says He Got Her Share Of Estate.
TRENTON, N. j.. July Virginia Helm
isch of Irvington, n. j.. half sis er of the
late Jacob S. Rogers. the millionaire loco
motive manufacturer of Paterson. began
suit to-day to compel the executors of
Mr.. Rogers or the Metropolitan Museum
Of Art to pay her 100000 with int erest
from April. 1855. The claim is based upon
an alleged promise made by Jacob s. Rogers
to his father, Thomas Rogers, few days
before the latter died, to make cert ain
financial provisions for her. as the result Of
which the complainant says her father
left her 100000 less than he intended she
should have.
Virginia Heinisch was one Of the relatives
of Jacob S. Rogers who was ignored in his
will She received $4,000 from the $3.50, 900
which the Metropolitan Museum agreed
should be taken from the residuary estate
and divided among the heirs.
She alleges that she was particuarfavorite
with her father and that just before he died
he signihed his intention of altering his will
no as to leave her slOO, 600 but was induced
not to do so by the promise Of this son that
he would provide for her during his life
and would make provisions for her in his
will The result, she says, was that her
half brother received 100000 more than
he would have received otherwise.
The bill asks that the executors, the
Museum of Art and the other legatees be
required to make full answer concerning
all the matters involved in the litigation.

BAD CHECK FOR AN AUTO,

A middle aged man with Van Dyke

Forty eighth street, yesterday morning
and said that he wanted to buy an Amer-
can car of good make. He gave his name
as Samuel D. Styles and said that he lived
at 1872 West Fortieth street.
President Frank NJ. Simons, of the COM
pany, showed him the stock. After mu CHI
deliberation the customer selected an
automobile for So 200.
-Icant run the thing myself. said Styles.
-I'll come around this afternoon with my
man and take it away
In payment Styles gave Mr.. Simons
check for 5000. 1t purported to have
been drawn to his order by Francis l..
Neland on the New York County National
Bank, at Fourteenth street and Eighth
avenue. 1t appeared to have been certified
by Frederick Fowler, cashier Of the bank.
Alter Styles had gone Simons got to
thinking the matter over. Finally he
called up the bank. Mr.. Fowler went up
and looked at the check and said that the
signature on the certification had been
forged.
Mr. Simons called in Policeman Martin

Tho number of the Ciric Federation
Il ricr the official organ of the Nationa |
Civic Federation, which will appear to-
morrow handles the socialists without
gloves for their attempts to induce college
students to join their ranks. 1t also has
something to say about sociological ex-
aggerations regarding the amount of pow
erty in the United States, taking tor an
illustration the statement in Robert Hunters
book, Poverty" that there are 100000
poverty stricken people in the United
States and another statement by Mr.. Hunter
that 10000 children in New York 60 break
fastless to the public schools.
The Reriep quotes the call recently issued
by ten college bred persons to college stu
dents to unite in forming an intercollegiate
Socialist Society for the study of socialism
Among the signers were Jack London,
j. G. Phelps Stokes and Clarence barrow.
"The advocates of socialism," the article
says, Having failed to capture the mass
Of wage earners. have projected cam
paign beyond them, planned to pervert the
minds OF the professional classes and of the
younger and more impressionabe recipi-
ents of the higher education. 1t is interest
ing to observe that the promoters of the
proposed Intercollegiate Socialist Society
imposed solicitude for the toiling masses,
are almost never workingmen and have
nothing in common with the interests of
laborers.
Their roster is largely made up of
brietless lawyers, pulpitles. olergymen,
professional writers, ex-professors whose
usefulness in college faculties has ceased
to exist, sentimental exaggerators in social
settlements. and faddsts. There are here
and there among them some man of wealth
whose capital has come to him through
inheritance and whose vanity is tickled
by being called millionaire socialist"
The article says that the burden Of the
street corner speech Of a socialist agitator
from that Of a "foaming anarchist" "The
one" it says. would incite the passions
Of plant nature to the frenzy Of murder
as thoroughly as the other. Are these
seditous teachings of class hatred and
social revolution to be made part of the
college curricula?"
Coming down to the subject Of sociolog-
ical exaggerations the article assais Mr..
Hunters statement that 10000. GOO people
in the United States are in the grasp of
poverty. This assertion it says, has been
utterly discredited and even Mr.. Hunter
admitted that he was largely guessing.
The Salvation Army undertook to supply
free breakfasts to the 10000 alleged break
ton Army reported that the conditions
as represented by Mr.. Hunter were very
much exaggerated. The army established
eight or nine stations for free breakfasts.
For the first two or three days not moro
than 500 children applied dnily at all the
stations and the number dwindled until
no one came and the stations were closed.

TWO WOMEN KILLED IN BED.
MYSTERIOUS Double Murder In Scranton
PERHAPS q NegrO's Work.

SCRANTON, Pa, Julyl.-Two white women
Mrs. Mary Jay, 81 years old and May
Woodling, rs years old, were murdered in
house in the Tenderloin section Of this
city last night
In each case the woman's skull was
crushed with a Ratchet The bodies were
discovered early this morning. Both
women were TO nd lying on the beds in
their rooms, partly dressed.
The police have no clue to the murderer,
but believe that he was negro, as the
visitors received by the murdered women
were generally negroes.
The apartments Of the women were on the
second floor of three story building in,
Center street, within fifty yards Of police
station. The ground floor rooms are occu
pied by the quarters OF the Eighth Ward
Coored Republican Club and billiard
room. The top floor Is occupied by negro
family named Dodge.
There was no evidence OF a struggle in
either room, a single blow from the Ratchet
in the murderers hands apparently ending
life instantly.
The crime was discovered by Police
Sergeant Saltry who was called by Pull
man porter, P. j. Ewell, who surmised
that tneTo WAS bOlHeluIuS Wiohe "hVh hO

roomed on coming in from his trip. 1t
was unusual for him to be locked out, and
getting no answer to his calls, he asked
the police to ascertain what was wrong.
boy pushed over the transom released
the spring lock, and Sergt. Saltry struck
a light and went through the rooms. Both
women we're found cold and lifeless. with
the bedspreads thrown over their bodies
and the beds red with blood.
Further investigation showed that the
crime was not for robbery for valuable
rings and jevelry and sums OF money In
both bedrooms had not been molested.
The police think it may have been the work
OF some discarded lover or else the outcome
of some trouble between an unknown
visitor and the woodling woman, the muir
der OF the Jay woman following as necessary
to silence her evidence. The murderer and
the woman may have, spent yesterday
afternoon together. as they had evidently
drunk beer from pail which stood on
the kitchen table.
After his crime the murderer carried the
Ratchet into a kitchen closet, where he
hid 1t among some clothing.
