About the TNOrnWcll Orphanagc.

Clinton, June 23.-The Thornwell
College for orphans has just closed it's
3Sth commencement. The board Of
trustees, composed Of representatives
from the synods Of South Carolina,
Georgia and Florida, 20 in number
were promptly present and took
deep interest in studying the work
Of the institution as conducted dur
ing the past year and providing for
the year to come. The reports show
ed the completion Of the Thos. NJ.
Jones Museum, and the removal to
1t OF the Museum proper Also the
completion (ready for the installa-
ton Of the heating plant and the wa
ter plant) of the Lesh infirmary, Il
large three-story building 5Ox1O3, also
the construction Of a large and we'll
furnished barn, and the completion
after three years work on the sew
erage and water plant. These i'm
prOvements add very much to the
safety, health. conveniences and sue
cess of the Thornwell Homes.
The board had many important
items up for discussion. One Of these
perhaps the most important, was the
proposition to raise the scholarship
fund Of 100000, the interest only to
be used, and the object being to bear
the official expenses Of the home, ex-
elusive Of the care Of the children.
The expense will cover specially the
matrons' and teachers salaries and
will carry in fact all the work done
for the orphans, excepting their food
and clothing. 1t was decided to push
the matter at once and the local board
was asked to take it up. Within SO
Of the adoption of this resolution, a
check for $1,000 was received by the
president, to go to this endowment
fund. 1t comes from friend who
asks that his name be kept out of
the papers.
The work Of Rev. j. B. Branch in
the institution was fixed as professor
in tho ThOrnwell college, editor of the
Thornwell Messenger and supervisor
of the discipline OF the children. Ills
official title is that of supervisor.
The Lesh Inflrmary Is to be OPEN
cd on the first Of September 1914.
The board approved tho suggestion
that the next building to be erected
shall be boys association building
n regular boys club house under
Christian management and of the
character of the building needed by
the Y. Nj. &. a. 1t will not cost more
than from $4,000 to $4,000 and will
not be erected until some good friend
OF tho fathcrless boys decides to
build this institute at his own
charges.
The cost of sustaining the home is
about $4,000 u year. The year clos
