the very wet weather and the sticky
red mud that is everywhere about the
camp. For the past day or two there
has been nothing in the way of In
struction because Of the rains. The

Educational Rally.
The series Of meetings in the inter-
est of better educational advantages
being held throughout the state, are
being very largely attended, and the
campaign gives promise Of being Of
great benefit to education In South
Carolina. The date for the York
county meeting, to be held in the court
house, has been set for Wednesday
August H. The state board Of educa-
tion has selected two men OF unusual
ability to make addresses for the York
meeting, and Mr.. McMackin is making
an effort to secure at least two other
speakers for the occasion, but is no,
vet ready to announce definitely thetI
acceptance. He is especially urging
school trustees, teachers and children
to be present on the occasion Of the
York county rally on August 11th.
Same Applies In YorkviIle.
Lancaster News, Saturday: The
News again protests against the useless
and dangerous practice of discharging
firearms as q means OF arousfng tns
community on the occasion OF an out
break Of fire. A reliable citizen tells
us that fully 100 pistols shots were
heard after the discovery OF fire In the
Hotel Royal Tuesday night. A lady
who lives nearby tells us that a num-
ber Of shots were fired before a single
her husband, aroused by the rapid fir
ing, and hearing at first no cry Of fire,
naturally supposed that serious riot
was in progress on the streets. There
are safer and saner ways OF waking
up the people than by the promiscuous
shooting Of deadly weapons.
Attendance at Winthrop.
With the completion Of the new dor
mitory at Winthrop, the attendance at
the next session will be more than zoo
out Of total Of 1,200 applicants. In
an interview a few days ago, Presi-
dent Johnson said: "The college is
growing rapidly and II we had the
room many hundreds additional stu
dents could be accommodated. With
applications from states as far
west as Oregon one can easily
see what an advertisement the
state would receive from an educa-
tional standpoint IL we had the room.
However, we of course, give prece-
dence to the applicants from this state
and even then we can not take care OF
them ALL In time, however, the work
of the college will be more widely rec
ognized and some day 1t will be re-
garded as one of the leading colleges
of the country"
