them so far above the common herd

Eighteen years ago. ,..Col. F. NIX:
Bailey, believing that first class
high grade Co-Eddcational school
would be literally patronized by the
people of this state, established the
South, Carolina Co-Educational In
stitute. The school has been sue
cess from the very beginning, al
ways having as many students as it
could accommodate.
Col. Bailey has spent thousands

charge. The daily fare provided is
better than the fare prepared for
the majority of homes. Besides
wholesome, substantial and well
prepared regular diet and dessert at
frequent intervals, fruit is served
twice day to all students. The
barrels of apples and oranges come
into the college pantry as often< as
the barrels of sugar and flour.
Picturesque and Inviting Cam
pus.
One of the most beautiful spots
in all Edgefeld is the campus sur
rounding the South Carolina Co
Educational Institute. Within its
circumference of four acres there is
a varied landscape, supplying the
scenery of hill and valley, plain and
cultivated garden, winding stream
and woodland. Last spring the fac
ulty and young ladies of the college,
organized themselves into a College
Beautiful Club, and with some as
sistance from the town and civic

are gathered in by the hundreds,
but who wish to patronize school
where only a limited number of stu
dents is taken, thereby. making it
possible for each student to receive
the close personal attention of the
president and faculty. The presi-
dent and faculty make a speciality
of studying the mental ability, dis
position, and character of each stu
dent and then applying the very
best methods suited to each individ-
ual case.

year, the standard has been raised
and the buildings and equipments
improved. To-day, this institution is
known as one of the best and most
thorough schools in our country. A
large and experienced faculty is en-
ployed. Almost every county in
South Carolina is represented in the
student body besides the states of
Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia,
Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, Ken
/tucky and Arkansas.
While there are a number of first
class institutions in South Carolina,
che South Carolina Co-Educational
Institute is the only school in the
state where a boy is at all times un-
der the direct watch care and inhu-

this we mean, a school where the
teachers and students live in the

and ouSsof recitation hours, is look

was in q well regulated home.
The fact is recognized that true
education does not consist in simply
cultiyatng the mental powers, but
in developing every faculty that
tends t6sbetter, prepare young men
and young women to meet the

dent has always made it rule to

be for good. Visitors after having
spent few days at the South Caro-
lima Co-Educational Institute, have
always said that they had never
visited a school where the entire at
mosphere was more uplifting and
ennoblihg.

Literary Societies. Pierian, Bal.
ley and Fidelian.

The societies of the college hold
their weekly meetings on Saturday
evening. These literary training
schools for future eloquence have
been productive of great good. The
boys and girls are trained to think
by the preparation of essays and
debates, and in public utterance by
speeches and debate on popular
subjects. 1t is said that the most
popular subject of debate among
the young men is the liquor ques-
tion, with the prohlbitionists in the
lead. Every inducement and stimu-
liant is used by the faculty to arouse

new rifles and all necessary accou,
trements. The battalion is composed
of company A. and company B. A
regular drill is held every afternoon
and although early in the session,
the young men drill remarkably well.
Last spring when the Assistant Ad-

teachers who were educated at the

supply. 1t is invariably the case that
they are reelected to the positions
they hold, showing that they have
been thoroughly prepared for this
line of work.

S. C. CT. has been speciality in
the institution since its establish
ment in Edgefeld. Miss Eliza Minis
is in, charge of this department. I'm
der her direction, numbers of boys
and girls have been brought in
touch with the beautiful in nature
and in art. A number of the stu
dents are now being instructed in
painting and drawing, and there
hang on the walls of many Edge
field homes the drawings and paint
ings of our own home artists, equal
to those of students any where.
Edgefeld has the advantage over
cities and larger towns in that we
have artists in our midst who can
do practical work in this line. Miss
Minis has sold her own paintings in
New York and other cities, and her
portraits of familiar faces not only
adorn the homes of Edgefeld, but
of many homes and halls of fame
throughout the country. In lighter
vein, Miss Minis has recently paint
ed beautiful badges for the local ID.
of G. which have been admired
throughout the state. In fact she
does not only the beautiful for the
eye to rest upon but she serves the
present world by practical appli-
cation of the artist ability. This is
what the age needs, not so much the
artist set upon pedestal, above the
work a day world, but the beautiful
in nature and art put into the use of
every day life to help the world to
be better and safer. Miss Minis
has also under her instruction a
class in china painting. She has
magnificent specimens of her work
in this department and one sees
more frequently than formerly, the
beautiful hand painted gifts on
wedding and other festive occasions,
and it is not so infrequent now to
partake of the delicious fruits Of the
earth on hand painted platters and
ambrosial draughts from egg shell
cups adorned by the painters skill.

TheLiterary Department.


The literary department employs
six experienced men as professors.
Most of these men have been con-
nected with the institution for a
number of years and have already
proven their fitness for the positions
they occupy: There are carefully ar
ranged courses in this department,
leading to the degrees Of B. E., B. L.
B. S. and A. s. The curriculum of
study in this department is equal to
that of the best female colleges in
the state, and prepares young men
to enter the junior classes in the
best universities. To those who do
not care to go higher, it fits them
for the duties and responsibilities
of life. Right here, we would like
to call attention to the splendid
recor! made by young men who
have left this institution to enter
higher colleges. The South Carolina
Co-Educational Institute has made
an enviable reputation for the thor
oughness of its work and students
who have been fortunate enough to
secure the faculty's recommends
ton, have always been able to enter
well in other institutions.

the ambition of the students and to
awaken dormant energy and talent.
In these societies, doubtless are
so ne of the future leaders OF
thought, and eloquence who will
WELD potent influences for the up,
lift and regeneration of the world.
Religious Influences. Sunday
School, Y. M. c. A., Y.
w. c. A.
AS every other feature of the
work of this institution is on such
high plane and with such lofty
ideals, the inference would be drawn
at once that the most important in
tiuence of all would be given the
prominence deserved. If president
Bailey has been heard to say one
thing oftener than another it is the
statement that education of the
mind, without the heart was not his
ideal and that he was striving to
develop the students under his care
into well rounded men and women
fitted for the responsibilities of life.
Religious exercises are held in the
chapel twice day, the day students
attending the morning exercises.
Every Sunday afternoon there are
meetings of the young mems and
women's Christian associations, and
these organizations are welding
splendid influence in the religious
life of the institution and in the in
dividual lives of the students. Sun
day school is taught every Sunday
morning in the college auditorium,
with the young men and young wo-
men as students and the faculty as
religious instructors.
Boarding and Culinary Depart
ment.
The boarding department of the
college has now more than one hum
dred students, young ladies and gen.
tlemen. The house keeping is under
the direction of an efficient matron
assisted by first class walters and ser
vants.It is a pleasure to look in nupon

One of the most popular features
of the institute, is the special train
ing given to those who wish to pre-
pare themselves for teachers. Col.
Bailey has arranged special course
of study for this department and has
furnished the state hundreds of sue
cessful teachers. S. G. G. l. gradu-
ates are to be found all over this

NEGLEcTING OUR HoNoRED DEAD.

ciates the conspicuous reference to the
destruction of the United States battle
shipship Maine, as 1t appeared in yes
terday's issue of the STAR.
At their last State encampment the
Spanish Wal Veterans of New Jersey
appealed to the President to recon-
mend to the National Congress that
some action be taken towards raising
the Maine, and that the remains of her
dead be buried with due military
honors.' This appeal was published and
was noticed by one of the best know
newspaper correspondents in Washing

memory of national heroes and martyrs

such forgetfulness was the case of the
Revolutionary prison ship Jersey, better

Revolution in Wallabout Bay. For
years after the war was over the bones

REFRIGERATION o NEW PORK GAMBLING.

As as twenty-one bills aimed at gambling have been introduced
In the Albany Legislature, and there are more a-coming. More than half of
the bills relate to the ace tracks. One bill would prohibit gambling at card
games in clubs hotels and private houses. and make it a criminal oTense for
a man and his friends to indulge N a ten-cent limit or any other limit game
in the privacy of his home. But hi most interesting bills are those that, If
