toy manufacturers break loose with
a new crop of automatic racing cars,
aeroplanes, submarines, fire engines
and kicking donkeys. If the children
were constructed on the same nervous
clock-work plan, they would give old
Santa Claus no rest unless he kept up
with all the modern inventions. In

increasing, PreSfdent says.
We take the following from The
Columbia State of yesterday morn
ing:
Advance sheets from the annual
report of ID. b. Johnson, president
of Winthrop College, Rock Hill, have
been received in Columbia. The re-
port will be sent to the general as
sembly through the state depart
ment of education. DIR. Johnson
says that the usefulness of the col
lege has been broadened by an eX-
tension of the work for the welfare
of the public at large and the move
ment is bearing fruit.
At the joint meeting of the con-
ference for education in the South
and the Southern Educational AS
sociation, held last April in Louis
Vile, two OF the most important
demonstrations were assigned to
Winthrop College, that of the model
rural school and the model rural
home.
An evidence OF the growing repu-
tation of Winthrop College and it's
increasing usefulness is the ever in
creasing demand for it's graduates
or last years graduating class. over
l27 procured positions before they
received their diplomas. The Win
throp diploma is being accepted in
lieu of examination in states that
are very strict in the certification of
teachers.
President Johnson say that, not
withstanding the greater enrolment
during the past season, the college
ran smoothly in every departmen.
there was no sacrifice anywhere of
quality for quantity.
1T seems that in this small,
sparsely settled state, with only a
little over 100000 white popula.-
tion, men, women and children
| there should be no fear of Win
throp College becoming too big to
| do efficient, acceptable work, in the
face of all the facts and the eX-
perieDce of other states" says DR.
Johnson.
Winthrop College this year has
| It's largest enrolment, there being
Sa2 students attending the institu-
tion. There were 1,473 applications
! for admission this year. There are
now 100 officers and teachers OF the
college.

Jonesville Special to The State,
Dec. ga bullet from the pistol
of one of two negro men engaged in
a duel this afternoon near the depot
wounded Miss Marie Fowler and
Miss Myrtle Coloman, two 16-year-
old girls, who We're passing along
the street when the combatants
opened fire on each other. The ac-
cidental shooting OF the two young
women. the daughters of we'll known
citizens, created great excitement
in Jonesville. Angry men beat one
of the negroes severely. Sheriff
Hay FAINT of Union arrived oppor
tunelv on Southern train No. Al,
which passes about $50 o'clock and
took the negroes aboard with him
before any violence had been offer
ed to them for their criminal care
lessness.
Miss Fowler was seriously wound
ed, the bullet passing through her
chest. The same shot struck Miss
Coleman in the arm, infiicting
flesh wound. Miss Fowler is the

Jonesville's police force. Miss

wound of the two, was carried to
the Jonesville hotel. near the scene
of the shooting. Tonight she was
said to be resting well and to have
good chance for recovery.
The negro men who did the shoot
ing are Will Hames and Crawford
Thomson, both about 35 years old.
1hey are said to have borne each
ether a grudge for a long time. They
took occasion to settle IL this after
noon about O'Clock when they
were on the street near the depot
and started shooting. Thomson was
shot In the leg by Hames. A stray
bullet from the pistol of one of the
negroes struck both Miss Fowler
and Miss Coleman.
Officers arrested the negroes while
the intense excitement caused by
the affair spread over the town.
Sheriff FAINT was notified Of the
shooting in time to catch the west
bound afternoon train before 1t left
Union. When the train arrived at
Jonesville, ten miles away, the ne
groes were loaded on it and left in
the custody Of the sheriff, who took
them to Pacolet where he waited
until Southern train No. 1G, east
bound, arrived. Then he pu. the
negroes aboard and carried them
back through Jonesville to Union

Good Roads. Better Streets.

If there is anything that would

munity and county at the present

better streets. They are both In
such fearful condition as to make
1t almost impossible to travel. Not
only are the streets in a bad condi-
ton, but in many places the side
walks are in such a deplorable con-
dition as to make 1t very unpleasant
for people who have to use them.

To find the answer to the impor.
tant question, wife or old maid, a girl
had to go alone on Christmas eve
and knock on the henhouse door. II
cock answered her knock by crow

cock crowed in answer, then she
would be an old maid. This under

Of her future husband she took four
onions and named each one after a
boy friend. She then placed one in
each corner Of q room and the one
that sprouted before January bore
the name Of the man she would
marry.
In some districts this was carried
out rather differently. Several onions
were selected and named and placed
close together. and the one that

carefully the warmest place would be
chosen for some special onion.

Prohibition i'm the National House.
Augusta Chronicle.
That the prohibition amendment
received a majority vote in the ma
tional house of representatives is
surprising to many people.
Particularly when it is known
that many congressman would have
voted for the amendment but for
the states rights feature involved.
Men who would vote for prohibition
on its own merit voted against the
Hobson measure because they take
the position that the proposed
amendment to the federal constitu-
ton would encroach on the police
powers of the several states.
The Prohibitionists declare that
they are satisfied with the result.
The anti-Prohibitionists declare thew
are satisfied so long as the PROPOSE
ton stands defeated in Congress.
There is no question that in the next
Congress. another effort will be
n ade to pass the legislation.
1t had been predicted that con-
gressmen would dodge the vote and
long list OF absentees would be
noticeable when the ayes" and
nays" were called This prophecy
proved inaccurate. There was a
larger attendance in the house Tues
day-when the vote was taken
than has been the average attend
ance throughout the session.
There Is pending in the senate 4
resolution similar to the Hobson
resolution. It was introduced some
time ago. There Is a movement on
foot to force It to vote with the
purpose Of disclosing the prohibi-
ton strength In. the senate in so far
as 1t can be disclosed on legislation
OF this kind.
