DORMITORY FOR WOMEN
AT The University of South Carolina

The University of South Carolina
will offer for the session 191S-1919
unusual advantages to the young wo-
men of the State. The number of wo-
men taking the various courses OF
study at this institution has been in
creasing steadily every year. Last
session the number enrolled was six
ty-four. Though the University has
been co-educational for less than
twenty-five years, it has graduated
many women of prominence, who
have held influential positions in the
state, especially in the educational
world. In view of these facts, the
board Of trustees decided in June to
increase the accommodations for
women and establish more courses of
study that make an especial appeal
to them.
The western, and if necessary, the
eastern wing of DeSaussure College
will be used for woman's dormitory
next session. This three story build
ing is being thoroughly renovated
and will be ready for occupancy in
the fall. With new flooring and win
dows, steam heatshot water, and all
modern conveniences, DeSaussure will
be the best equipped dormitory on
the campus. The lower floors will be
devoted to the matrons in charge OF
the tenements and to parlors. one in
each wing; the two upper floors to
dormitOries. AS DeSaussure College
IS in easy reach of the library, class
rooms, and laboratories, the young
women Of the institution will be bet
ter situated than ever before to enjoy
all the advantages of the institution
Quarters in DeSaussure will also be
assigned to the recently formed Lit
crary Society, the ltypatian, which CO.
operates heartily with the Clarioso-
among the men of the University.
There is such demand for bust
ness women at present that the Uni.
versity will offer next session courses
in typewriting. bookkeeping, steno-
graphy, and mechanical drawing. The
Usual war courses in Red Cross and
,ivilian Relief, Food Thrift and Die.
'etics will be given again during the
oming session. All the other courses
offered including law are open to
women. For the first time in the his.
cory of the State, two young women
were graduated in June with the de-
gree LII. b., and in accordance with
he recent act of the legislature, will
re allowed to practice in the State i

Nowhere in the South are better op

SUBURBAN RAILWAY APPLIES
FOR TROLLEY FARE INCREASE
Superintendent Gale Says He Must
Raise Mems Pay To Hold Them.

According to Superintendent Gale,
when he testified before the State
Board of Utility Commissioners at the
State House in Trenton on Wednes-
Suburban Railway Company to be
permitted to raise fares on their lines
between Atlantic City, Pleasantville,
Somers Point and Absecon, it will be
necessary for the company to be al
lowed to increase it's fares to gain
$3.50 to pay an added wage to it's
workers if they are to be prevented
from taking positions at government
plants at Mays Landing and Elwood.
Mr.. Gale said that wages of so cents
an o are paid to former employees
of the traction company by the gov
eminent plants and that the company
does not have enough men to operate
been a loss of nearly go per cent.
within the past few months of work
ers on the trolleys, owing to the big
inducement offered in wages at the
towns mentioned, and that he cannot
figure out where to get men.
He then told the commission he
would like to be able to retain the
services of men now in the employ of
the company by giving them 80 cents
an hour. He cited the fact that 10
out of 26 motormen and conductors
had quit their work at %, 25 and 81
cents an hour from the company and
were now making so cents an hour at
the government plants.
He also testified that soft coal would
cost the concern this year an increase
Of S4,626 over 1917.

JAMES C. VICkERS RETURNS
AND MAKES EXPLANATIONS.

James c. Vickers, real estate broker
who has been missing since April first
and was supposed to have been acct
dentally drowned at Somers Point, re-
turned to his home in Pleasantville
this week from Charleston, w. Va,
nea where he has been employed in
a munitions plant since his departure.
Vickers states that late in the after
400 of April first, when his boat re-
fused to work properly, all his short
comings doomed big to him and things
generally appeared dark. All of a
sudden he determined upon his course
of action, took the Shore Fast car
from Somers Point to Pleasantville.
arriving here at 9.55 in the evening,
and then boarded the 1909 electric
train for Philadelphia. Evidently he
was unknown to any of the passen-
gers either on the trolley or the train.
The shortness in his accounts, which
is less than $1,000, has been made
good, and other reports which were
recently circulated concerning him he
declares to be false. He intends to
remain in Pleasantville, and will work
in the Bethlehem Steel Co.'S plant at
Mays Landing.
