The usual verdict, "not gailty," has
been rendered in the last of the dispen-
sary graft cases. Were it left to the
people to write verdict, if one is to
judge from public sentiment, the re-
cord in some of the cases would be
changed.

The board of trustees of Wofford col
lege acted wisely inrefusing to rescind
its action of year ago prohibiting fra
ternities among the student body.
There is nothing wrong with the aver

experience has proven repeatedly that
it is unwise to permit such organiza-
tions among students. After an insti-

the ban they are seldom allowed again.

During these two years improvements have been made, among them being the wiring of church, rectory and hall at an ex- pense of s242. The property has been fenced; church and rectory have re- ceived needed repairs, and hall, cost ing $650. built under the audience room. filling a much needed want.
