From Wexford Fitting School.

Wofford Fitting School, Spartan
burg, October 13:-The Y M & A
mad most interesting meeting Wed
nesday night of last week when DR.
H N Snyder, president of W"fford
college, addressed the boys. DR. Sny-
der is one of the most pleasing speak
ers of the State, and he always has
something to say that is of timely
interest. The Bible classes Of the Y
NJ G A have been organized during
the past week, and the leaders of
same have met together and mapped
out a. course of study for the year.
Nearly every boy in the dormitories
has joined one of these classes, and
expects to get a great deal of good
out of their work this year.
Sunday night, at Central church,
DR. Snyder delivered his annual
opening address to the student-body
of the college and fitting school, and
it was delivered in the same happy
style that has made DR. Snyder so
popular as a speaker. He gave the
new men some useful hints on their
conduct as college men, and told
them to open up some accounts in
the beginning of their college career.
The Record" staff have the ma
terial for the first issue of the maga-
zine in shape and it is expected to
come from the press in about week.
The magazine is on a better basis
this year than ever before. The
business manager announces that ne
has more advertisements and more
prospects for subscriptions than in
any previous year. There are good
many writer's of ability in school this
year who will help to hold up the
standard in literary way.
Prof Horton has been perfecting
plans for county high school con-
test to be held in the Wofford audi
torium about the 29th of November.
Such a contest will meet a long-felt
desire of all persons interested in the
oratorical interests of the county.
The work that is done in the average
literary society is OF very low order
and, no doubt, a contest of this sort
will do great deal to raise the
standard of work.
Some of the new arrivals at the
fitting school this week are: Guy
Foster, Wilton Horne, j S Clowney,
Hermann Renneker, Chas W Will
liams, M D Bowling. The total en-
rollment to date is ITS. This is the
largest crowd the fitting school has
had at this time of the year and the
indications are that there will be a
good many more enrolled before the
year is over.
The two games that the Filters"
have engaged in have been disastrous
to the followers or the nttlng Scnool
boys. The game with the Juniors
was hard fought contest in which
the Juniors won out by the score of
four to one. The game with the
Freshmen was not so we'll played,
the Filters" going up into the air
one inning and letting the Freshmen
score at will. Outside of the one
inning, it was a pretty game.
Hugh Graham of Lake City has
been taken to the hospital, but he is
not seriously i'll. He is suffering
from an operation that was perform
ed upon him some time ago. His
friends will be glad to know that ne
