A large number of men and women
enjoyed the excitement of wolf
chase 9 miles southeast of Butler
Monday night.
Six packs of the best dogs in Bates
county were represented in the
chase which terminated in the cap
ture of fine specimen of the prairie

Those whose dogs were in the
chase were H. A. Wayland. Chas.

others.
Wolves are very numerous and de-
structive in many localities and more
chases are planned for the near fu-
ture, and besides furnishing excite
ment and amusement for those who
enjoy following the hounds, it rids
the country of a pest which takes a
large toll each year from the barn
and poultry yard.

TRY SarDraS, An Excellent Stimu.
liant and Tonic.

Ones disposition depends largely
on the condition of the body. Hot
tempers usually are the result of
sluggish livers, poor digestion, stonl-

tenn can't be expected to operate
smoothly when the digestion is up

A mean, cross disposition in the
morning before breakfast is pref
ty bad indication. The system
needs cleansing.
Many wise folks take pains to
keep their bodies properly. A ia

Columbia than when dormitories for
women were provided at the uni
versity?
This is no time for doubtful and
eXtravagant experiment. We believe
that there should be as little dupli-
cation as possible in our educational
system, for economy and for peace
and harmony and efficiency.
There are no special buildings for
women at the universities of Virgin
ia, North Carolina and Florida. The
fact is, at recent debate on the
question by the literary societies of
the University of North Carolina,
the vote of the students was against
erecting such building, their main
argument being that the state had
made provision for the education of
the women Of the state at it's state
college for women at Greensboro.
We believe that the state should
concentrate at present upon it's state
college for women and perfect that
before trying an extravagant expert
ment in woman's education elsewhere
and we believe that the great mass
of democratic women of the state be-
lieye the same thing if we are to
Judge from the following resolution
just adopted by the state convention
of the D. A. RS, meeting in this
city and by other bodies of women
all over the state:
"Resolved: That we urge the legis-
lature of South Carolina to perfect
Winthrop college, the South Carolina
college for women, through which
was secured the first appropriation
by the state for the higher education
and professional training of the wo-
men of the state for teaching, for
business, for home making, and for
the duties of life, by providing the
needed additions to the college plant
in the way Of a teachers home; a
dorlnitory for country girls, in con-
nection with the training school, in
order that these girls, now deprived
oft opportunity of being prepared
for college, may have such an op-
portunity; professors homes; build
ing for music and fine arts, and any
other additions that the board of
trustees may find necessary for the
development of the institution to
meet the. needs Of the people Of the
state"
: It seems that there is no excuse for
hurtful and wasteful duplication by
South Carolina in the higher educa-
tion of the women of the state.
