The State, 1st.

The State, 1st.
{ Miss Anna Hayward Taylor has
returned to Columbia after having
been in Boston during the very sue
eessful exhibition of her paintings
and textiles at the Horne galleries.
On her way home she visited friends
in New York city.
Miss Taylor brings interesting ac-
counts of several former Columbians
now living in Boston, among them
Miss Euphemia McClintock, president
Of the former College for Women;
George S. Kittredge, who was direc-
for Of music at,.the same school until
It was merged with Chicora college,
after which he conducted a private
piano studio in Columbia; Samuel
Charles and Robert Hughes, talented
pianists, who at different times taught
at the College for Women.
Miss McClintock's friends in this
city and throughout South Carolina
viii learn with pride Of the success
she is making of unique school in
Boston, which she opened last fall,
and which is already rendering such
q useful service that its permanency
is assrued. Not only does she offer
various courses in the regular school,
curriculum, but she supplies outside
training in any line desired-art, mu-
sic, domestic or political science or
what not-and gives the students her
personal supervision and guidance.
If young woman, for instance, who
has been graduated from finishing
school desires TO do some serious
work along any special line, no mat
ter what it is, Miss McClintock ad-
vises with her, studies her special
ambition and needs, and then engag-
es the correct teachers for her, at the
same time keeping close personal
supervision on her work. In addition,
she lectures on political economy and
one or two other subjects at her own
school and at the well established
school of her sister, Miss Mary Law
McClintock.
Mr.. Kittredge and Mr.. Charles are
beth teaching at Miss Mary Law Nc
Clintock's school and both have tlne
organ positions in Boston. Mr.. Kit
tEedge lives with his sisters at the
family home at bingham, near Bos-
ton, and spends seven busy days IN
the city. Miss Taylor says that while
he is. much in demand professionally
and has made good in his home city
with remarkable rapidity after the
many years he spent away from 1t,
he is still homesick for the South and
longs for Columbia and his old
friends.

'HSIf SD. Y%SM falls the honor
RA@tAs99a E of being the
VzI MEssN ISL first of the
WyNSsSsIas%N original thir-
M:SegSSssN teen states.
~ .e..~ - December Z,
1887, it officially adopted the Con-
stitutiOn and thus was made a
beginning of our present Federal
government. According to the
seventh article of the ConStitu-
tion, however, it was necessary
for nine states to ratify it before
it actually came into force. So
it was not until the following
June, by which time eight other
states had accepted the COnsti-
tuition, that the United States of
America actually came into be-
ing.
The early history of Delaware
was a varied one. It started in
1858 when a small party Of
Svedes settled at the mouth Of
the Delaware river and called it
New Sweden. In 1855, Peter
Stuyvesant, the governor Of the
Dutch colony Of New Neither
lands, annexed this territory. But
it did not long remain Dutch,
for in 1861 the English took
possession. When Pennsylvania
was decided to William Penn he
desired access to the seacoast
and at his urgent request Della
ware was transferred to PENIS
proprietorship. From the be-
ginning of the eighteenth cen
tury, however, Delaware had it's
separate legislature, and at the
time Of the Revolution it be-
came an independent state.
Delaware is next to the small
est of our states, having an area
of only 2,370 square miles. It's
participation in presidential elec-
tions is limited to three electors.
This is arranged according to
population. Each state is entitled
to the same number of presiden-
tial electors as it has members
of congress, so the influence of
the different states in voting for
the President varies from Dela-
wares three electors to New
York's 45.
AS to the derivation Of the
name Delaware, this was appro-
priately given to the state from
the river, which in turn was
named after the bay and the bay
was called.DelaWare in honor of
Lord Delaware, who was COVER
nor Of the Virginia colony in
1910.

,tandpoint. The county is distinctly
and distinctively an agricultural coun
" and every effort possible should be
out forth to advance and develop the
agricultural interests of the county
Agriculture is the parent or basic
industry of the county. Upon it the
success and progress of all others de-
pend. If we would rear men strong
and great who can take their places
along with leaders from other coun-
ties and States, we must have money
to support our schools, our churches
and to give our homes more cultur,
al environment. These are the things
that make great men but they can
not be had without money. In Edge
field county this money can come only
from the soil. Therefore, it behooves
us to first encourage and develop our
agricultural interests, which is not
being done.
Once we had county fair and it
was abandoned. We had home dem
onstration agent as stimulative and
educational factor in the county and
she, through lack of support and CO.
operation, gave up the work. We had
as capable county demonstration
agent as there was to be found in the
State and his support was Withdrawn,
being employed by an adjoining
county whose people had a greater
vision than have ours, or large por-
ton of ours. A dozen or more coun-
ties, in spite of the prevailing depres-
sion, are having county fairs. Near
ly every other county in the State
has a farm demonstration agent,
some of them two. In half dozen
counties a demonstration agent is
working solely for and among the
colored farmers, in addition to the
work among the white farmers. If
these things do not show that our old
county is progressing backward, lag
ging in the procession-dropped even
behind Mccormick, her daughter
then what more is needed to prove
the assertion?

ference of South Carolina will be
iheld in Columbia, December End, 3rd
and 4th. The Columbia people are al,
ready preparing to entertain two
hundred and seventy-five boys from

but each high school in the state will
be asked to send from four to six
boys to attend this conference.
A very strong program is being set

them, C. C. Robinson, of New York,
international Secretary of Boys
Work, who is considered one of the
strongest speakers in the country,
having spoken not only in every state
in the union, but has also visited
many of the associations in the for
eign fields; D. C. V. Aiken, of CO.
lumbia, who is connected with the
State Board of Health, has a mes
sage that every high school boy in the
state ought to hear; j. E. Johnson,
Student Secretary of the State Com
mittee of South Carolina, who has
Just returned from trip to Europe
has a message Of Importance to the
boys of our state. w. L. Chandler,
of New York, one of the Information
al Secretaries for Religious Work,
will conduct the devotional periods
throughout the conference. Mr..
Chandler was located for a number
of years in Atlanta as the Southern
international Boys Work Secretary.
The boys from over the state will
be entertained in the homes of the
good people of Columbia. The Cham
Der of Commerce will furnish a ban
quet on Friday evening, the End, free
to the boys. This banquet will be
served by the Mothers Club of the
association.
