The Work at Winthrop
What the College is Doing
--Money Wanted for Mod
el School.

Extract from News and Couri
er's report of proceedings of re.
cent meeting in Rock Hill of
Winthrop Board of Trustees
1t was decided to ask the Leg.
islature to make an appropriation
OF $4,000 for a model school,
and the request will be made
under the same conditions as last
year, viz: that the board raise
$25 900 and that the appropria-
ton be not available until the
Governor, the Comptroller Gen
eral and the State Treasurer be
shown satisfactory subscriptions
for the amount to be raised by
the board.
This model school is absolute.
ly needed in order to make room
in the main building for the reg
ular college work, and to provide
for better and more practical
training of teachers for the com.
mon schools of South Caro-
lima.
The board feels strongly that
the State should make the neces-
sary arrangements at Winthrop
for many reasons. The State has
made accommodations in its three
colleges for young men for about
l 100 and it has made provision
for higher education and training
for young women for only 422
Last year, according to the legis.
lative committee, the State ap-
propriated, directly and indirect
ly, for the boys colleges $272,-
1880, and the college for girls
only $77,7S4.50, and yet there
are more girls than boy in South
Carolina to receive higher edu
cation; and as rule they need
help and recognition more than
do the boys. This gives $257.3O
per capita for the 1 ,060 boys en-
rolled and $152.sS per capita for
the girls of Winthrop. The board
feels that this discrimination,
this grave injustice, will not be
allowed to stand by the people
in the face of such great need as
now exists for the accommoda
tions for the higher education of
girls.
There were 907 applications
for the 432 places at Winthrop
for the present session. The
board thinks the State did wisely
and we'll in making room for as
many boys as it did, but that it
has been derelict in its provision
for Its girls. The health of the
student body is excellent, as
shown by the report of the resi-
dent physician, who is the sani-
tary officer for the College. There
are thirty nine teachers and as.
sistants and nine executive Off
GERS One hundred and seventy
five students are taking cooking
and 2os sewing. This increase
is caused by the new rule re-
curing all students in the regu.
lar course to take these studies.

THE NEW MEXICANS
 AND JOINT STATEHOOD
A Silver City Attorney Says the Result
 There is Uncertain.

R. M. Turner, an attorney of Silver City, N. NJ, will spend d couple of weeks in the valley, having come here to look after the interests of his father in-law, MT. Switzer of Mesa MT. Fur ner is an advocate of joint statehood Replying to an inquiry regarding the sentiment in New Mexico he said that the sentiment in the part of the terri tory where he resides is ovetwhelm- ingly in favor of it. He is of the opin- ion that it will carry perhaps by a ma Jority of as much as two to one, but all that will depend upon what is done in Valencia Miguel and the other so- called Mexican counties. He said that little has been heard of the intentions of the MeXicans of that part of the territory and their vote will be more or less conjectural until it has been counted.
 It is thought, though, that Sol Luna, the well known leader, will be able to control the vote in those counties but 1t is not quite certain where he stands At the beginning of the joint state hood agitation he was against it and with other prominent New Mexicans made a journey to Washington to work against the Hamilton bill. Mr. Turner says it is now understood that upon the passage of the bill he became fa- forable to jOinture. That supposition IS based partly on the fact that the Albuquerque Citizen, in which he is in terested, is strong joint statehood paper. but that paper was just as strong for jointure at a time when Mr. Luna was opposed to it.
 MT. Turner was asked how he be- lieved that jointure would benefit Ari- Zona and New Mexico. He replied that he thought it would give this region a better standing in the east. As a state it would not be viewed so much askance as it has been. as two wild and woody territories. The benefit in other words would be moral and sentimental rather than material
 Concerning the feeling in that terri tory regarding the name of the pro posed new state, MT. Turner said it was not believed by the Americans in New Mexico that any sacrifice had Deen made by them in surrendering the name of New Mexico. He said that they would have suggested that them selves. They were really glad to drop the name of New Mexico. But on the other hand the Mexicans still cling to it and no doubt many votes will be cast against jointure solely on that account.
 He said that not long ago a Mexican from Arizona appeared al Silver City and addressed a large body of Mexi- cans, urging them to support jointure. MT. Turner did not learn the name of the orator but from his accurate de- scription of him there is no doubt that he was the immortal Pedro c. de Ia Lama.
 MT. Turner added that there was no man in his territory so far as he was aware who was fool enough to believe that there would be any joint state hood. The defeat of it in this territory most overwhelmingly is conceded on all sides. They are desirous though of get

STICKS IN THE STOMACH.
Feeling That Often Comes to PeopI,
 With Weak Digestion.

poor sufferer from indigestion once said that his stomach felt as though it was filled with sticks and as though some of them were on fire and burning him up inside.
 When the stomach and the organs of digestion and nutrition are weakened and do not act properly, the symptoms of ill health that follow are many and varied. There is often a feeling of heaViness in the stomach, there is dis tress and nervousness, dizziness, nausea, nervous and sick headaches, inability to sleep well, pains in the side and limbs, specks before the eyes and a general peevish, irritable condition.
 All these troubles are the direct re- suit of indigestion. Cure this by strengthening the stomach and diges- tive system with Mi-o-na stomach tab lets and your symptoms of ill health will vanish like dew before the morn ing sun: life will be joyous. and diges- tion will be so natural that you will forget you have a stomach.
 Mi-o-na stomach tablets cost but soc a box and are sold by the Larson Drug company under an absolute guarantee that they will be successful in every case where used according to directions or money will be refunded

CLERKS OF COURTS
 ARE DEMOLISHED
No Recent Legislation Enacted Affect
 ing Their Compensation.

It has been published by territorial papers, evidently under a misapprehen- sion, that congress at the last session passed a law fixing the salary of clerks of the district courts of the territories at S35O0 and requiring that all fees col lected by them shall be turned into the government.
 Assistant United States Attorney Jones' who returned from the south yesterday morning, said that he had no information of such d law and no ad- vices concerning it from the depart ment of justice have been received at the office of the district clerk of this county.
 A few days ago there was received from the office of the attorney general of the United States a circular refer ring to one of the provisions of the sundry civil bill relating to the fees of clerks of the courts of the territory It provides a new form for the making of reports of fees received by them and of money judgments received in United States cases. That is believed to be all the Legislation enacted by the last ses- sion on the subject.
 The misapprehensiOn is probably based on this fact and on the fact that there has for some years been a law restricting the compensation of clerks of United States courts to S3500. As a matter of fact. no clerk in this terri tory, in recent years at least, has re- ceived nearly that much from United States business.
