and trying one for Columbia College
on account of the destructive fire of
September 8, 1909. In the face of
great difficulties the work has gone
steadily forward. The sessions for
the year just passed were conducted
In the Colonial Hotel, the old home of
the College; but now the York is be-
ing done I'm the new college building
There are twenty instructors and 257
students. $50 OF which are boarders.
Columbia college has a bonded in
debtedness of $4,000. part due I'm ten
years and part In twenty years There
is a floating indebtedness of $4,000.
There are subscriptions and notes am
pie to cover the floating Indebtedness.
We hope that the Administration
building can be erected within the
next year as it is imperatirely need
ed
We hereby express our appreciation
Of the faithful work of the Rev p. A.
Hodges, the retiring financial agent
of Columbia college.
Lander College.
The property valuation is $75 900
There are seventeen teachers and 1919
students. OF these 40 are from the
town Of Greenwood.
On account of the fact that Lander
college cannot take care of all who
desire to enter. it is very necessary
to erect a new dormintory. The board
of trustees desire Conference to grant
permission that the college be mort
gagged for $4,000 for the purpose of
to erect new dormitory. The board
that the permission be granted, and
the building be erected as soon as pos
sible. We feel that the buildings ask
ed for by cur colleges are urgently
needed. and that the Methodists OF
South Carolina are ample able to pay
for them. If we hesitate to do this
work it will be Il reflection on our
spirituality and liberaiity. What we
need is for the entire church to work
together and to advance the interests
OF our three colleges simultaneously.

This school is now worth $35 900.
There are three instructors and 80

a successful year. the attendance |!
ranging from 700 to 1000. During the
eight years, from the time the school |

present have been students at this |
school. The Correspondence school |
looks carefully into the matter of min
isterial supply and reports that last
year more men were admitted on trial |
than ever before in any one year.
