Death of Mrs. Thos. r. Leslie.
Rock Hill Record: Mrs. Leslie, wife
of Mr.. Thos. F. LESLIE Of Lesslle's
Station, died last night at her home at
that place about II o'clock. Mrs Less-
lie has been in very poor health for
the past two years or more and has
spent considerable time at Asheyille,
but all efforts in that line proved futile
and last night death relieved her OF
the great suffering of the dreadful
disease with which she was afflicted.
Mrs. Lesslie was before marriage a

Winthrop's New Dormitory.
Rock Hill Record: The work on the
new dormitory at Winthrop college is
progressing rapidly and 1t will be only
a short time until the outside work Is
completed. Under the contract the
same must be finished by June rs, and
unless something delays the work 1t is
thought that this provision will be car
ried out. This building will be very
much better one than the other two,
In that it will have more conveniences,
such as an elevator to take trunks to
the attic for storage, skylights over the
stairways, closets in the walls for the
girls to hang their clothes in, and 9TH
er things that will add to the conven-
ience and comfort Of the students. It
will accommodate 200 more girls, and
just think for a minute what that
means for the young ladies Of this
state, to Rock Hill, to York county! It
was thought at first that possibly there
would be enough money to erect
building large enough to accommodate
$50 girls, but 1t was found that the
funds were inadequate and therefore
they could only provide for 200 addi-
tlonal. This, as stated above, will help
a great deal, but the lawmakers Of our
state have not yet awakened to the fact
that they are not giving the girls Of
the state square deal with the boys,
as this additional dormitory will only
provide for a little over half as many
girls in the state as there are boys pro-
vided for We hope the girls Of the
state will take the matter into their
hands and form themselves into COM
mittees and bring this matter before
our legislators so forcibly that before
many more years roll around they will
be as we'll provided for and as many
Of them accommodated as the boys.
And they can do 1t If they make up
their minds and get busy.
