Cotton Poor in Cherokee.

Gaffney, Special. = Mr.. John b.
Brown, one of the most extensive and
successful farmers in Cherokee coun-
ty, was in town and reported that the
cotton prospect in the county is. the
poorest that he has ever known. He
says the cstton seems to be diseased
and is dying rapidly. He further says
that the stands of cotton all over
the country are very poor and that
he does not see how anything like a
half crop can be made. Mr.. Brown
is, as a rule, very conservative and
what he says can be relied upon alb
solutely. When asked about the
wheat crop in his section Mr.. Brown
said that in his immediate neighbor-
hood there were some good crops of
wheat; but that in other sections they
were worthless.

Inspecting Winthrop.

Rock Hill, Special. : Monday was
the day for inspection of departments
at Winthrop and everything was open
from the school rooms to the pumping
station. A large crowd was on hand
and thronged the building in all de-
partments. This is one of the most
interesting features of Winthrop COM
mencement. Every one wants to see
what the girls at the big college are
taught and in some of the depart
ments where the handiwork is display
ed the visitor stands with open mouth
and views with wonder, admiration
and secret awe the work which these
600 Carolina lasses have been taught
to do, and which they have done so
well.
The departments are we'll worth
visiting. The gymnasium is, of course
not open to all. No one but ticket
holders enters those sacred precints
and these tickets are hard to get, be-
ing confined mainly to female visitors.
The model school rooms show the
work of the primary, intermediate and
higher grades and are very interest
ing. There are specimens of work
done in arithmetic and algebra, a
number of charts showing the work
done in drawing and manual training.
The free hand cutting done by the
lower grades is splendid. 1t is used
very effectively in Illustrating stories.
The designs for Indian pottery, book
covers, basket decorations, picture
framing, calendars, portfolios, etc., is
indicative Of splendid training. There
are also other lines of drawing exhib-
tied such as pose drawings, crayon
sketches, studies in still life, brush
and ink work, colored crayon and wa
ter color sketches. The breadth or
imagination and correctness of exec
rtion done by the third and fourth
grades in their illustration of stories
are especially good.
The department. of domestic science
is an exceedingly popular one, for
there, in addition to the exhibit to
be looked at only, is Miss Mulligan
with her corps of efficient and deft
assistants, actually dispensing tooth
some and delicious dainties to the
hungry throng of visitors. In this
department are shown pickles, pre-
served fruits, jellies, chemical charts,
work tables, range and accessories,
in fact, all that should be found in
a perfectly appointed kitchen and
pantry, and adjoining this is a model
dining room which is exactly what the
name means-a model. Thus each de-
partment in turn shows that it is
managed in the most perfect manner
Those so fortunate as to view the de-
partment were a unit in declaring
everything in perfect condition, and
that this famous institution may well
be described as I" the pride and glory
of the State. f"

e PRETTY ELBOWS.

4 With the sleeves Of today, as much
attention ought to be paid to the ap-
bearance of tine arms as to the com.
pladon or hair.
!. Too many women take a discour-
aged view OF their ugly arms and
thiAs that there is no use trying to
do anything for them. On the con.
traly, bopy elbows and skinny fore,
arms can be much improved if cer-
tain amount of trouble is taken.
Here is the way that one woman
made her arms look-not quite like
new, but certainly quite presentable.
First she would fill basin With
water as hot as she could bear 1t,
putting into it some borax, few
drops OF benzoin and handful OF
oatmeal.
Aftef holding her arms in the
water for about two minutes she used
a rubber sponge on them to wake up,
the skin and just bit Of pumice; on
the rough skin Of the elbow,
Then she would massage with a
vengeance, using a handful of cold
cream for each arm, and paying spe-
eial attention to her elbows. After
the treatment with hot water and
oatmeal the skin is soft aud takes
massage much better than IL the cold
cream is applied to the dry skin.
A decided Improvement was evident
after the first few trials, and after
keeping 1t up regularly she was no
longer ashamed to wear short sleeves
just because her arms were hope
lessly thin and ugly.
Pretty elbows are rarity, even
with women whose arms are fairly
well-shaped The skin Of the elbow
rs thin, and so many women have
habit of using their elbows as props
that it is small wonder that they are
hard and lumpy and red.-New York
