New York, May 22.--The contrac-

seemed to indicate some subsistence
of the speculative interest, the total
sales for the day falling to the small

slant backing and filling kept alive a

and the shifting operations of the
traders induced by those orders. The

brisk rally at Yesterdays closing re-

Erskine College.

The Press and Banner learns with mucn
pleasure hat the class rooms Of Erskine Col
lege are fuller this year than ever before
About two hundred students are there. Dr.
Mohatt has worked wonders for mat COL
lege. The fact is, he has drawn 80 many
students to Due West that additional prepa-
ration has to be made for theif sccommooa'
ton, 1t Ia fair to assume that the Synod VIII
AXE the matter In hand. Just now the worK
of missions Is taxing the church to the limit,
and Il ia barely possible that in view OF this
fact some OF the money now going TO mis-
slons, home and foreign, may be diverted 70
the College. Erskine College Is, by far, the
most important enterprise OF the church, and
its needs are more apparent than the needs OF
any other enterprise in which the church is
now engaged. The life Of the church is more
intimately related to her colleges than 10
anything else. and we believe that all mem
bers and friends Of the church would be glad
to zee Erskine take another step forward
Other colleges are collecting endowments or
receiy Ing money for needed Improvements.
and Erskine should take like steps or the
advancement OF her interests which are 80
closely allied with the prosperity Of the
church. Without disparaging other church
work, there Is nothing upon which the peo-
pie ofthe Who'll church could more enthusi-
astically work than in building additional or
needed houses for Erskine.

The Dedication.

The city OF Abbeville Is making preparation
to feed a great company on Thursday, Octo'
Der !. Be sure 10 come. This, in all proba
bility, is the last Court house and City hall
that will be built in the life time OF any ont
living today. And Abbeville wants to Sc,
all the people of the county within her Dor
ders on that day.
Mr.. Gillian is to AVE charge of the hash
factory, and he will give to each guest all tn,
hash. potatoes and bread that can be stored
away. Abbeville will be glad to meet all he,
friends on that day. Good speeches, bant
music and other things will add to the pleas
ures OF the day.
Abbeville has been TO Due West on many
OF her big days, and 1t is especially hoped
that Abbeville's friends in the classic city
may lend us the pleasure OF their presence on
that day when the city and the county may
unite in happiness at the erection OF the city
hall and the court house.
One OF the best things about the new build
ings is the good feeling which the people OIL
the county have about the new structures,
At one time there was some opposition, but
now 1t is with much pleasure that we believe
the people are In unit on the matter OF the
new court house.

The Due West Female College.

The exercises Of this old and honored insti-
tuition for the education and culture Of our
young women were opened with a most salts.
factory attendance. President Boyce, with
an able corps Of teachers and musicians is
doing a good work for the church. The Fee
male College, like Erskine College, has needs
which the Synod should regard. The I'M
provement In the College building makes 1t
one OF the best structures OF the kind In the
State, and 1t answers the purposes Of Q COL
lege most satisfactorily. The Carnegie hall
and Its equipment, costing about $S5 900, Is an
imposing structure which would be an orpa-
ment to any town. Due West has some splen.
did buildings, but the best interests OF educa.
ton would be promoted by additional build
ings. Erskine College, We believe, Is the old.
est denomlnstional college in the State. The
Due West Female College, we believe, Is the
oldest and the best college for women In the
State. They teach vocal and Instrumental
music, art, good ers, orthodox religion,
and the womanly graces. The girls in this
college are sought in matrimouy, and q great
number OF them surrender heart and soul to
gallant lovers. The only fault that we ind
with these educated Christian women Is, that
when they marry they too often go to other
churches with their husbands. We believe
that husband and wife should go to the same
church, the same church being the A. r. p.
church. Lovers should settle their differ.
ences before marriage, and they should settle
TO 20 to the A. r. T. church. The church can
never grow, II all the A. r. p. girls go to 9TH
or churches when they marry. President
Boyce should not give his consent for any OF
his college girls to 60 out OF the church.
What is the use of educating girls, II they
don't stay with US?

ore of the best agricultural experts In
the South. Professor Harper has per-
sonally solicited the exhibits for this
department, and will arrange every
thing to advantage. He will be as
sisted by his whole corps OF expert
associates, and 1t will be worth the trip
to the fair just to talk to these expert
men and get their ideas on practical
farming.
Clemson College will have a big ex-
hibit in this department., but will not
be allowed to compete with the ind
vidual exhibits. Some fine prizes Will
be awarded the farmers. Fol- instance,
$50 will lie given for the largest yield
of corn to the acre. $25 for the second
best, and cotton will have the same
amount awarded for the best yield per
acre. Dozens of other interesting con-
tests have been provided. .
President Mobley. being a practical
stockman himself. Is giving much at
tention to this part of the fair. There
will be more thoroughbreds shown than
ever before. The stalls have all been
renovated and the pure water from the
city has been connected so that the
cattle and stock will be we'll taken
