Dedication of Fine Arts Build
ing at the Greenville Wo-
mans Building.
Dear Advertiser

Dear Advertiser:
Please allow me space in your col
umns for a brief outline, by a visitor
in the college, who attended the dedi-
cation of the Fine Arts Building. In
the beginning I wish / had the power
to describe this exquisite piece of ar
chitecture. Words fail when I gaze
on such splendor. Indeed, ga thing of
beauty is a JOY forever" This is con-
sidered one of the handsomest struc-
lures in the South, with a cost of
s16O,ooO.oo
The auditorium seats something
over twelve hundred persons, being
sixty feet wide, one hundred feet
long and height of fully thirty feet.
AT 2:30 Friday afternoon, Decem-
Der 1, the program opened by the
singing of the Alma Mater, followed
by prayer by DIR. D. M. Douglass, DR..
Ramsay presiding over the meeting.
The following presidents of col
leges or worthy representatives were
introduced, each educator bringing
greetings from their own institution
to the college and congratulating both
DR.. Ramsay and the Baptist denomi-
nation for such a structure. The
speeches came in the following order:
Anderson, Chicora, Citadel, Glenn
son, Coker, College of Charleston,
Converse, Due West, Erskine, Fur
man, Lander, Limestone, Medical
College of Charleston, Newberry,
Presbyterian Theological Seminary,
University of South Carolina, Wes-
leyan, Winthrop, Wofford and even
the Theological Seminary at Louis
vile, KY.
The coming of these representa-
tives from colleges for men and wo-
men, both UNCONVENTIONAL and state,
is an interesting feature IN the col
lege history and a significant fact in
itself that such busy men should turn
aside for an event of this kind.
At $3.50 o'clock we assembled again
in the auditorium where we listened
to a most eloquent address, "Woman
in Modern Life" by Edgar Allen
Young, D. D., L. L. D., of the Theo-
logical Seminary at Louisville; the
man known all wei the world as one
of the greatest living Baptists. Ger
tainly this subject was handled in a
mastery way, and here I must say
to the women that he advocates wo-
men going to the polls.
All thoroughly enjoyed this won
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1922-12-13

derful address from such a wonderful
man. This meeting was presided over
by Mayor Hyde of Charleston, chair
man of the Board of Trustees.
After the address a formal dedi-
cation of the building followed. In
this I feel sure DR.. Ramsay was the
happiest one in the auditorium when
the keys were presented to him. This
was indeed impressive--this building
to stand as a monument to him for
his life of service devoted to the edu-
cation of our girls. We all share in
these congratulations.
Saturday at a p. M, a professional
pageant was put on as a part of the
%dedicatory exercises, Miss Floride
DuPuy, physical director of the col
.lege being chairman Of the general
committee, this pageant showing
forth the growth of Greenville and
the college, being participated in by
the college, the alumnae, Furman
University, Chamber Of Commerce,
Banks, mems and women's organiza-
lions, mills and business houses. The
line of march leaving the college and
then. returning, with the floats all
massed on the college campus, SO in
number, stopped, where a word of
greeting was heard from the mayor
of Greenville and others.
At $3.50 we again assembled in the
vast auditorium for the sacred con-
cert Of 100 voices under the direc-
ton of Mr.. George M. Schaefer, head
of the music department of G. w. C..
The vesper services marked the
closing exercises on Sunday at four
o'clock. The writer having to say
goodbye to loved ones and newly
formed friends at 1880 p. M, was un-
able to attend this closing service.

CONGESTION AT
POST OFFICE IS
TO CAUSE. DELAY

Although the mail early and
wrap well propaganda Of the post
offices of the nation have had
their good effect, many people are
delaying their mailing until the
last minute and as a result there
is going to be big congestion in
the lobby of the local postoffice
from about Saturday on, asserted
John Farrar, postmaster, this
morning.
In addition to the people who
are sending mail there are num-
Der who are arranging for the
cashing of their war saving
stamps Of the issue of 1918. Al
ready the two purposes are bring
ing crowds to the office. Last
Saturday there was a line about
20 deep from about noon to s
o'clock in the afternoon at both
the stamp and mail order win
dows. In order that there may be
no more congestion next Saturday
than necessary Postmaster Farrar
is requesting that as many town
people as possible do their mailing
before then as that Is the day the
country folks come in.
In order to meet the demands
made upon the office by late mail
ing 1t has been necessary to make
temporary appointments from the
list of eligibles. The list of eli
gibles is composed Of those who
took the examination in August.
Packages being sent east of Chi
cago to be sure of arriving at their
destination by the Saturday before
Christmas should be on their way
by Saturday night, local officials
say. Ordinarily a package would
be delivered in from four to five
days but with the increased mail
It Is best to allow seven or eight
days at the least. Posters asking
that the package not be opened
until Christmas can be put on the
package without extra charge for
postage.
1t was estimated by Mr.. Farrar
today that but about 15 or 20 per
cent of the outstanding war saw
angs stamps had been turned in.
1t required several weeks after the
stamps are presented before the
money is paid as they are sent to
the federal reserve bank in Port
land from where the money is sent
out.

PARKING
SYSTEM SOUGHT

The problem of parking In the
down town district came up for
discussion last evening at the
meeting of members of the Cham
ber of Commerce, and to secure
an expression of opinion as to
whether "head in" parking was
to be preferred to our present
system of backing in, President j..
C. Perry appointed a committee
to report on city parking.
This committee will be Edward
Schunke, chairman, DR.. w. II.
Darby and B. e. Sissons, with in
structions to report at the Janu-
airy meeting Of the club.
Attention was called to the fact
that many autos are parked in
such a way that the space ON a
block is soon taken by the early
risers who come down in the bus
mess district and use the streets
for garage.
w. M. Hamilton said that from
reading magazines, he was of the
impression that traffic officers
were opposed to the California
system Of head in parking, and
that to secure an expression of
opinion, 1t would be good idea
to write the police department of
cities ON the coast, to learn which
system Of parking they found
most advisable.
There is a growing feeling
among business men that cars
should not be parked in the bus
mess district for hours at a time,
and In many instances, for the
entire day. The opinion was ex-
pressed that a time limit should
be placed on parking in certain
parts Of the down town district.
Under present conditions, it
was pointed out that after an
early hour, 1t was impossible to
find parking space for those who
wished to transact business in the
congested section of the city.

of the game. Kenney drove out
a short line drive to center Healey
precipitated a grounder in Nc
Laughlin's direction and the ex-
Fordham first Sacker hurled with
unschooled force toward second on

the ball, ohwever, saw fit to nick
kenney on the back and he reach
ed third base unopposed while
Healey was safe at fint.
Duplantis laid down bunt
which Cuddy ielded to first as
kenney crossed home plate. Hea-
ley scored from third when Art
Kelley hit him IN the back with the
ball, after it was hit toward third
base by f. Gronau. The visitors
were white-washed in every other
inning.
Fairbanks bagged two tallies in
the second inning on a combina-
ton of kelley'S free ticket 10 first,
f. Gronau'S bad throw TO his
brother on the initial sack, and
Fuller Martins duosack. In the

converted his pop-fy just out of
