E.leefield Advertiser T?'.OS. J.ADAMS,.EDITOR WEDNESDAY, JUNE 28. WHAT THE S. C. C. L TEACH ERS ABE DOLNG AT WINTHROP. The South Carolina Co-Educa tional Institute always keeps up with the times. Thin is proved by the fact that eleven of the S. C. C. L teachers are now attending and takiug special courses in the State Summer School at Rock Hill. Our college is more largely represented than any college in the State. It is the policy of President Baiiey to Urge and in some cases require his assistant teachers to spend at least one month during the summer in some 'prominent summer school. In this way the S. C.' C. ?. teachers keep up with the procession and make themselves familiar with the best and latent methods of teaching Mrs. Bailey ie taking a special graduate's coursu in music under that master musician Prof. Wade Brown. Miss Bailey is taking a special course in vocal music un der Mrs. Wade Brown, who is recognized as one of the best vocal teachers in the South. Capt, Cain is taking special courses in school management, physics and astron omy. This is the second time Capt. Cain has taken a special course in some of these branches. Prof. Entzminger is brushing np on higher mathematics, and will be better prepared than ever to hold up this department in our college. Miss Davis and Miss Em Williams are both studying tho latest and most improved methods in primary work. Rev. R. W, An derson and Rev. P. P. Blalock are taking advanced courses in psy chology and higher English. Prof. W. 0. Cain, who is already well up in chemistry, spends five hours a day in the college laboratory ' making experiments ;n this de lightful branch of science. He has made special arrangements with the famous Dr.* Byers, of Chicago to give him (Prof. Cain) private instruction daily. Dr. Byers is at the head of this depart ment in the Summer School. Pres ident Bailey completed in the New York Normal several years ago a special course in school manage ment, but he ie again pursuing this very important branch of study. On last Friday evening a musi cal was given in the Winthrop College chapel, only the most dis ?rinmiioT%/%*3 *v?nftiA?A? -- - - 1 they had parts in seven out of the fourteen. Rev. P. P. ;Blalock de lighted the SOO people who were present with one of his beautiful cornet solos. All of the above facts go to prove that the S. C. C. I. is a school that our citizens may well he proud of Let us hurry on our plans for put ting $15,000 in new buildings so that Presiden!, Bailey and his fac ulty may have additional room that they so badly need. When this is done our college will be on a firm foundation and will con tinue to go onward and upward. Admiral Schley has been made an L. L. D.

Methusseleh probably lived to a ripe old pge just to spite some girl who married him for his money, thinks the Griffin News. Why has the State of South Car olina never finished her State Cap itol is the question thousands of visitors to Columbia are asking, according to the State. A French editor who has recently visited the Philippines says that "it seems to be incontestible that for the conquest of the interior 100,000 men will not be too many. We know in France what the system of little parcels has cost. It is an example which the Tnited States would do well not to follow." There will be a great big picnic and barbecue at Seneca on July 4 under the auspices of the Oconee Coui^y Alliance. Hon. J. R. Blake, of Abbeville; Hon. J. C. Wilbom, of York ; Hon. A. C.

The Kock Hill Herald observes ' that: "What kills our towns is not low taxation as much as con stant croaking and chronic loaf ing. One special reason for the success of our little city is that we have no croakers and furnish no room for loafers." "A community where lots can be had for the asking is a dead place and a town where loafers and croakers abound will be cart ed off to the cemeter. ?f departed boroughs sooner or later." People will talk these warm day especially about politics, politcians and religion. The reason is that they talk m ist about those things which they do not comprehend. One of these knowing ones said a few days ago : ''Well it looks as if Dean of Greenville, Johnson of Spartauburg, Patton of Columbia would certainly be candidates for Congress next year. There are possible candidates in Fairfield aud Laurons. Wash Shell is not asleep 'ind the ladder ha:, never been taken down from the shelf on which Irby crawled after his last defeat." This seer was asked about Congressman Wilson, who has sush a strong hold on the district from the head of the Congarco Canal to the western corner of Greenville county. Said he; "Oh, Wilson is slated fer Governor. Had you not heard that?" That is the way people talk.-Spartauburg Spartan. Speaking of a late shipment of sowpaw received at tho Geenville, S.

A filthy redi meut was at the bottom uf each bottle. When the bottom was turned up to view the sediment drifted through tho whiskey and the scene looked like a cross be tween a rainfall of cats and dogs and a comic picture of a cyclone. Each bottle appeared to cou tain several cases of delirium tremens, and a long, close look at the dis turbed sediment was calculated tc induce a first-class case of jim jams. LETTER FROM THE WOMEN. They Inform Gen. Otis They Will Keep Up Fight il* All Men Are Killed. Manila, June 21, p. m.-The' insurgent army has taken to the swamps and hills beyond Imus. The largest foroe is supposed to be in the neighborhood of San Francisco de Malabon, holding a position .nore toward the lake or make campaigning uncomfortable. The roads are si i ll good, but the rice fields adjoining them are pool6 of water. The Filipino*? will not fight unless thay can meet our trcopd in positions most advantageous to themselves or take our reconnoiter ing bodies in ambush. t It is impossible, to learn what effect the recent defeat has had upon their leaders. This should be disheartening, for they had boasted that the Americans could never coquer the province cf Cavite, Aguinaldo's home country, where he always worsted the Spaniards. Gen. Otis recently received a letter signed by native women of the province delaring that, if all the men were killed, the women would still keep up the fight against the Americans. Copies of the insurgent organ, Independencia, show that the Filipinos hopes of success are kept aflame by political movements in America. The Independencia prints of alleged speeches made at alleged meetings in the United States denoucing the war, and it asserts that these represent the dominant American sentiment. It declares Iso that the Filipinos will continue the war until the next presidential campaign, which . is "sure to result in a decision to withdraw the American troops from the Philippines." It is reported that the Spanish garrison at Baler, in the province of Principe, on the eost coast of Luzon, which had become reduced to 30 men, finally surrendered to the Filipinos after holding out foi a yeai. The Filipinos imprsoncd two Englishmen at TachJb?n, on the island of Samara about east of Luzon. The British first class cruiser Grafton steamed to that point from Cebu and her com mander demanded their release. When this was refused he lauded a force of marines and cleared his ship for action, whereupon the Englishmen were handed over. That Throbbing Headache.

In view of erroneous impressions and reports current about the small pox situation at Batesburg, and thu fact that several places have quarantined agaiunt Batesburg in consequence of these reports, I have been requested as a disinterested party to make another official statement of the situation. I lake pleasure in setting to right a false rumor which has unnecessrily and unjust!)' injured-the business of this town. There is no epidemic of smallpox here, only one case of very mild "varioloid" and two cases of smallpox convalescent, and the two latterare being held by me at smallpox camp until the patients have passed through the period of desquamatiou or "spaling oit period'" in order to be dismissed. AU three of these parties are under guard at smallpox camp, which is an isolated piace in the woods. All exposed persons have been detaiued under quaran tine for 16 to 21 days. Their clothing and person is disinfected and the person vaccinated. Near'}' at the white people and quite a large number of the colored people were vaccinated when I reached here. 1 have vaccinated and re vaccinated about 500 colored people and a few whites; so that the entire population almost has been rendered immuue. We are still vaccinating and re-vaccinating, and I am inspecting the place for suspicious cases. The city and tho writer have adopted a systematic plan of operation, and it now looks like all danger ol' a further spread bas passed. Leesville aud Batesburg have taken oil the quarantine against each other, and Johuston hes also withdrawn its quantine. The people of this town have been anxious to be vaccinated, and there has bee? a united effort to stamp out the disease. 1 found that systematic and proper steps had been taken before 1 came which facilitated my work greatly. I met ihe city council yesterday and made a report of the situation. I ambeiuggiven all the assistance and cooperation needed authorities> medical doctors and the citizens generally. I consder Batesburg a safe place for people to visit! either on business or socially, tts smallpox will in a few days be a thing of tho past in this town. E. I. Readon, State Sanitary Inspector. Tito (T!nttnn T"?l ? to favor the round bale, and have offered a bonus on cotton eo packed. On the contrary the great Greek firm, Kalli Brothers, of New Yoik, London and other cities, is fighting the round bale. L representative of the firm said recently that GO per cent of the ginboxes had been conformed to the new standard size for the square bale, and that the Texas Maritime Association had given a differential of 10 cents per hundred pounds on ocean freights in favor of this bale. No doubt this is and arrnage ment to offset the large bonus offered by American houses for cotton packed in round bales. The round bale people on the contrary are claiming that the air is pressed cut of their bale, and there is not enough oxygen left in it to keep up a smoldering fire. Both sides claim the advantage in handling. The round bale people because of a smaller and moro compact package, and the square bale people because they say cotton at the ship side is handled by machinery, and a 500-pound bale can be handled ad quickly as one weighing 250. The square bale people are z) ^ trying to prove that the round 1 .tie concern is in violation of the new Texas anti-trust law. In this state of agitation in cotton circles the public will look with interest for the survival of the fittest bale.-Ex.
