Winthrop'sAccommodations
Eloquent Appeal for New
Dornitory by a Bright
Young Lancaster County
Graduate.

Der OF young women applying for
admission to Winthrop College
this session was 9S2. There are
dormitory accommodations at
winthrop for only 432, and hence
large number failed to gain ad-
mission for lack of room This
Is repetition of what has oc-
Cured each year for the mast
seven years. Consequently, the
board of trustees has decided to
ask the legislature for another
dormitory for Winthrop. They
waited seven years before max
ing any attempt to provide for
the overflow Of students, which
has been growing larger each
year, In order to establish the
TACT that there was a permanent
overflow and in order 70 move
safely and conservatively. What
Winthrop has already done for
the common schools and young
women OF South Carolina is a
guarantee of what it can and will

There are as many girls in South
Carolina needing, deserving, and
eagerly seeking a higher educa-

reason why they should receive
equal consideration with the BOYS
In this matter of higher educa-
ton and training. The women
do the primary and elementary
teaching-lay the foundation for
the education of the people-and
they make the homes upon which
rests the civilization of country
The women OF the state are as

HIS 18th
BIRTHDAY
ACTING GOVERNOR MOTT SMITH
RECEIVES MANY TOKENS OF
ESTEEM ON HIS NATAL DAY.

The Office of the Secretary Of the
Territory was filled with visitors this
morning, who had remembered that
it is the thirty-fifth birthday of Act
ing-Governor Ernest A. Mott-Smith.
Presents in the line of cigars and flow
ers kept coming all the morning.
Ten years ago today Mr.. Mott-Smith,
when only twenty-five years OF age,
occupied the same office, but as Min
lister of Foreign Affairs under Presi-
dent Dole of the Republic. He was
probably the youngest official at the
time who ever acted as president of a
nation, for such was his position when
the president was away.
When Mr.. Mott-Smith went home
for lunch he found a surprise awaiting
him. A number of his friends were
on hand to celebrate the occasion with
a lunch. Among those present were:
Judge w. L. Stanley, Attorney-Gen-
eral c. r. Hemenway, e. Ii. Wode-

There was a good deal of comment
heard in the Judiciary building this
morning over the work which is be-
ing done in the Opera House in pre-
paratiun for the Congress of Song,
which will be held there in the near
future. A large gang of Japanese car
penters, working for a Japanese con-
tractor named Segawa, have been CIV
en- the job of placing raised seats on
the stage for those who will take
part The Japs are swarming in and
out with lumber and can be seen east
ly from the rooms of the Circuit
judges.
Special attention is called to the
Japanese workmanship on account. Of
divorce case which came up re-
Gently before Judge Lindsay. The
complainant in the case was the wife
of an American, carpenter by trade,
who had been ordered to pay her ali
mony This he was unable to do and
he stated in court that he could not
get work enough here to support him
self and pay the alimony, as the Jap
anese were driving all the white men
in this kind of work out of town. He
not only made this statement in court
but showed that it was true, which
brought forth some interesting re-
marks from the bench. The sight of
the Japanese at work in the Opera
House has been all the more notice
able on this account.

! Tho Slow, Potterins Gordon Setter.
Years ago the Gordon setter was
quite favorite and much in use by
,sportsmen Of this country. In later
years, however, this really good dog
was displaced In greater part by the
pointer and English setter. The Cor
don, says Ed F. Haberlein in Dogdom,
is the largest and heaviest Of all bird
dogs, more clumsy and usually slow.
Where most hunting is done in wood
land and thickets and slow working
dog is needed so as not to get "lost''
almost continually he fills the bill well
works close to gun, has good nose, is
steady on point and if properly trained
a very good retriever from land and
water. The Gordon is easily trained
and retains his training well, is also
of good pleasant disposition and an adj
mirable companion. At this age, how
ever, when so very much stress is laid
on speed and wide range, the Gordon
is not Tin -1t' because he is a slow,
