A Trip to Texas.
ED. JOURNAL:-On Jan. 16th
I boarded the train at Norris.
Argived in Atlanta 5.30 p. in.;
spent the night there,and bought
a homeseeker's ticket to Deca
tur, Texas. I left Atlanta 6.30
at nif. Tuesday; arrived in Bir
mingham 1.40 p m., left Bir
iiilngham 10,30 p. in., and
arrived in Memphis 7.15 a. m.
Wednesday; left Memphis 7.30
a. m.; arrived in Fort Worth
6.30 a. m. Thursday; left Fort
Worth 10 a. im., and arrived in
Decatur 11 a. m.
And as I was going to visit
my brother as well as to see the
country, I wished to surprise
him. I had not written him
that I was coming, consequently
I had no one to meet me at the
train. So I hired a conveyance
and drove out to my brother's
home.
I had not seen him in 18 years,
and my coming- (unexpected by
him) was a meeting never to be
forgotten by us both. Neither
lie nor his wife knew me, and
after fooling theni as long as I
wished I made myself known
by dr'opping some broad hints,
to which they caught on, and
at last recognized me. T Ien
was the happy meeting. Ican't
express the pleasure it was to
me to meet again my only
brother whom I had not seen in
so long a time that he did not
know me. The family were all
agreeably surprised and seemed
delighted to meet me. And I
was also delighted to find my
brother. doing so well, and to
f44d hischildren, who are-mostly
all' ma'ried, so prosperous, and
that they h'ad married well,
which seemed to me a natural
consequence after I saw the
Texans.
Some of your 'readers will re
member my brother, W. L.
Mann. He- was a native of this
-cotinty, and seeing the children
were good-looking, much better
looking than most Texans, I
was not at all surprised at them
marrying so well.
One daughter of my brother
lives at Fort Worth, and on my
visit there I saw the principal
part of the city. I saw the
Armour packing house, and
watched them kill 300 beeves
per hour, and they kill 5.000
head of hogs and' 1,5S00 head of
sheep per day. You would not
doubt it if you watched them
awhile. And you will not won
der' where they come from if
you travel over the prairie and
see the great her'ds of cattle,
sheep, etc.
Tiexas is a great stock-raising
country as wvell as a fine farming
country. Of course they have
disadvantages that we are not
subject to hero.
I love my old home here in
South Carolina yet, after all of
my sight-seeing on my trip west.
TJhe trip was well worth to me
the money I spent on It. I shall
always be glad that I made the
trip.
After visiting my folks in
Wise county I went to Uncle
Garvin Parsonis' home in Mon
tague county. Uncle Garvin
was also from this county. To
his many friends here I can say
I found him doing weclI andl
seeming happy in his new home
in Tiexas. I took sonme rabbit
and wvolf hunts, which I greatly
enjo Ved..
I 1nly spent three weeks on
my 'rip, .while I intended to
spend 'our, but my letters failed
to - r~a h home in time for an
early xyply, so like most people
who do hot -leave home often, I
became 4omesick and home I

Clemson College.
The board of trustees held
their annual meeting on the 6th
inst., all nembes being present.
During the afternoon session
Prof. W. M. Rigg?, who has
been acting president. since Jan.
1, 1910, was unaniniously elect
ed president. He was called
before the board and his
election announced to him by
the chairman, Mr. Allen Johns
ton. Prof. Riggs requested until
the morning session to give the
matter consideration, and at
that time accepted the position.
He is 37 years old, and has been
at Clemson since 1896. On the
morning following the election
Mr. Johnston presented to 'the
faculty and the students their
new president. The enthusiasm
and joy displayed oy the stu
dent body when this announce
ment was made was much
greater than any one has ever
seen here before. No president
at Clemson has ever enjoyed so
completely the esteem of the
students as has President Riggs.
At this meeting of the board
of trustees President Riggs rec
omimended to them that an
additibnal story be added to bar
racks No. 2, to provide for the
accommodation of 500 students.
The president also recomiended
that a piazza be placed on the
front of barracks No. 2 for the
pleasure of the students. Both
of the recommendations were
adopted, and a sum of money
appropriated to cover expenses.
The board of trustees has de
cided to establish a branch ex
periment station in the Pee Dee
section, and when this is com
pleted establish one in the'Sand
Hill section of the state. Thest
two, together with the one at
Clemson and the one near Sum
merville, will complete a system
of stations covering the soil con
ditions of South Carolina. The
farmers of this section will
doubtless be glad to hear of this
action.
The sum of $3,50 has been do
nated as a contribution to the
Corn Growers' Association.
A large appropriation has been
made for the Improvement and
development of the Clemson
farm. This farm is run in con
nection with the college, and is
making every possible effort to
wvard- beconming a modlel one.

Pickens County Teachers' Association.
The next meeting of the Pick
ens County Teachers' Associa
tion will be hold at Six Mile
Academy, Saturday, March 18.
The following subjects are to
be discussed by the teachers in
general:
The necessity for memory
work.
Should the rod be abolished in
the school room?
What is the best opening ex
ercise for a o so-teacher school?
Is the teacher who makes him
self or herself useless, the best
teacher?
Is it better to teach Latin or
the washing of dishes, or both?
What argument could you
give to the patron who objected
to his child studying Latin?
Should inter-school athletics
be encouraged among high
school pupils?
Have you found that the word
method of teaching makes bad
spellers?
What is the greatest difficulty
you have found this year in the
successful management of your
school?
What Friday afternoon exer
cises are most profitable for the
country school? ,
It is hoped that all the teach
ers will come 'prepared to discuss
some if not all of these subjects.
It is also suggested that every
teacher, before the president
calls the meeting to order, write
a question that is of in-terest to
him or her, and drop it in the
question box that will be on the
president's table.

Thle bride is the oldest dlaugh
ter' of Mr. and Mrs. Edl. Johnson,

an earnest worker for the( cause

others of the same gender.
While Mr. H-olland is compar
atively a stranger' to the writer,
he has all the appearance of a
bright future before him, and
he certainly was fortunate in
secur'ing such a bride for a man
of his calling.
May the richest blessings of
