WINTHROP COLLEGE NOTES.
A Record Enrollment---College
and Campus Notes.

Winthrop College, Rock Hill, Octo'
Der 12:-The number of students
enrolled this year is the largest we
have had in the history of the col,
lege. Although fifteen rooms were
added to Johnson Hall this past sum-
mer, there was not sufficient room in
the dormitories to accommodate all
of the girls who wanted to come.
However, we have S91 enrolled.
We deem it a rare privilege in
having DR. Henry F Cope, general
secretary of the Religious Associa-
tions of America, here to conduct a
series of lectures. He was with US
October 7 and s and spoke to large
and appreciative audiences three
times each day.
A vigorous canvass was made for
membership in the Young Women's
Christian association the first two
weeks after the college was formal
ly opened. There are 60C girls en-
rolled in the association, and we hope
the time is near when every men,
Der of the student body will also be
an active member of the Y W G A.
The canvass was brought to a close
September 80, and that afternoon
an informal reception was given for
the new members. Fruit was serv-
ed and the various activities carried
on through the association were ex-
planned. We are indeed proud of
the fact that one of Williamsburg's
girls, Miss Alma Chapman of John
sonville, is the president of this or
ganizatlon, which is doing so much
for the uplift and development of
the girls.
DR. johnson has been asked by the
Panama Pacific Experimental au-
thorities to send an exhibit of the
Winthrop Farm School there next
year.
The Star Course attractions, which
have been booked for this season,
bid fair to be the best we have ever
had. The first of these attractions,
THE Oratorio Artists" will be CIV
en- October II, in the college audi
torium. Reed Miller, South Caro-
lina's famous tenor, is the leading
artist in this company.
Williamsburg is we'll represented
in all of the classes at Winthrop this
year, there being five of our girls in
the Senior class, two in the Junior,
eight in the Sophomore, one in the
Freshmen and two in the special.

According to the census bureau of
the United States Department of

during the same period last year.
The figures for Williamsburg coun-
ty are 7,7l2 bales to September 25,
1914. and 4 ,234 bales up to the same
date last year.
The good people of Kingstree and
Williamsburg county have respond
ed literally to the call of charity in
their contributions to the stricken
Poston family, over $40 having been
collected through The County Rec
ord, and, we understand, about the
same amount has been contributed
from town and county through 9TH
er sources. Such a spirit of Chris
.ian charity is most commendable.
We are glad TO be informed that the
sick ones are better and the family
about able to get along without fur
ther aid.
