ter, Edgefleld^ Colleton, Clarendon,
Calhorn, Saluda. There are thus
twentx-one counties represent
ed in the gaduating class, half the
count! es of the state, and every sec
tion of It. This will give one an idea
of what the Wofford influence means
la South Carolina.
*Thi5re were four meetings In differ
ent parts of the state the past year
which were also significant of this in
fluence, the Marion-Dillon alumni
meeting at Dillon in the fall, the
Marli: oro meeting at Bennettsville in
April, the Orangeburg city alumni,
May 2, and the Spartanburg city
alumni on May 4. These meetings
were largely attended and great en
thusiasm was shown toward the col
3ege Similar meetings are being
plan led in other counties. The York
and Greenwood Wofford men are get
ting ready for a reunion in the near
future.
The Orangeburg meeting was made
notable by the presence of Dr. Sam
uel Dibble, of the class of '56, the
first graduate of Wofford. Dr. Dibble,
thorgh he has lived a strenuous life
as lofdier, political leader, and de
veloper of large industrial Interests,
is jit strong in mind and body, and
shows a wise concern in all vital mat
ten. He takes a keen interest in his
aim i mater, and is ever ready to co
operate in promoting its welfare.
The catalogue of 1910-11 is re
cently from the rress. It shows a
toti.l enrollment for the year of 41 J,
an Increase of 40 over last year. The
distribution of the students by coun
ties is as follows: Spartanburg Ii2,
Oningebnrg 21, Marion 16, Laure?
aafl York 14, Dillon 13', Chester 11,
Wlilamsburg 10, Florence, Green
ville, Lee and Marlboro 9, Anderson
Chsrokee, Darlington and Salada 7,
Edgefleld and Greenville 6, Abbaville,
Barnwell, Clarendon and Union 5,
Colleton, Dorchester, Falrfield and
Henry 4, Aiken. Bambery, Calhoun,
Kershaw, Lexington, Newberry, Pick
ems and Richland 3, Berkeley, Char
leston, Chesterfield, Lancaster and
Sr. inter 2, Georgetown 1; 11 came
from North Carolina, 5 from Geor
gia, 3 from Florida, 2 from Lousi
ar.a, 1 from Virginia and 1 from
Brazil.
This record shows that Wofford
liberally covers the state in the mat
ter of its patronage, and consequent
ly In the influence. Every section
represented. Judge B. Hart Moss, of
this city, is one of the trustees of
Wofford, and has an abiding faith in
the great future that is before this
grand old institution. He like all
Wofford men, takes great pride and
interest in his alma mater.

Save the Fruit Trees.
Dig out the borers from your peach
trees if you haven't already done so)
says the Progressive Farmer. Where
ever you see a gummy substance
coming out at the base of the tree
you are safe in concluding that the
borer is present. Dig away the dirt
and dig out with knife or a piece of
wire. Don't think that these bor
ers are of too little consequence to
raerit your attention. They are kil
ling thousands of peach trees.
Will Enforce the Law.
Chief of Police Fischer has issued
orders to the police to strictly en
force the automobile speed ordinance.
He says the ordinance will be strict
ly enforced in reference to the cross
ings at the different streets. If these
orders are carried out the city will
.soon come into some money from
?careless automobilists.

be enforced by City Council.

OUTLOOK FAVORABLE
PRESIDED fTNLEY, OP SOUTH
ERN RAILWAY, TALKS.
Africoltural C tlook Declared to Be
Very Favorable.?Discusses Condi
tions of Cotton Industry.
Washington, D. C, May 14.?
President W. W. Finley, of the
Southern Railway company, who has
recently returned from an inspection
trip, on which he was accompanied
by members of the board of directors,
in speaking today of business condi
tions in the southeastern states,
said?
"The agricultural outlook through
out the entire southeastern section
seems to be very favorable. While
in some- localities in the southwest
en part of the territory rains have
somewhat retarded cotton planting,
and while re-planting will be neces
sary in some small areas, it will have
to be done to a very much smaller
extent than was necessary last year.
Notwithstanding the increased at?
tentiou being given by southern far
mers to corn and other crops, the
aggregate acreage devoted to cotton
will be somewhat greater this year
than last. The average preparation
of the soil for planting this year has
been unusually good. Farmers are
using fertilizers more scientifically
and better farming is being prac
ticed very generally throughout the
south, which may be expected to re
sult in an increase in the average
yield per acre. As a result of their
prosperous season in 1911^ southern
farmers, to a large extent than usual,
are able to finance this year's oper
ations themselves without the as
sistance of local merchants and
banks.
"Conditions in the cotton manufact
uring industry are not wholly fav
orable, but, as the season progresses,
more definite ideas as to the size of
this years cotton crop should bring
about a more favorable relative ad
justment of the prices of the raw ma
terial and the finished products of the
mills. The lumber business is still
feeling the effects of restricted pur
chases on the part of the railways,
but a slight improvement is notice
able in some of the lumber producing
localities. The condition of the iron
and steel industry in the south is
substantially the same as In other
parts of the country. With under
lying financial and agricultural con
ditions favorable for improvement
in other lines, there is a reasonable
basis for the expectation of an active
business as the season progress^.
"The management of the Southern
Railway company is not unmindful
of the requirements placed upon it
by the increasing volume of traffic
throughout its territory. It is, there
fore, continuing its policy of improv
ing its facilities for the development
of business and for the movement
uf traffic. It has recently taken
steps to add substantially to Its
motive power for passenger and
freight ' train equipment. Its carry
ing capacity is comfortably ahead of
its present requirements. Looking
forward to the progressive develop
ment of its territory, the carrying
capacity of those parts of its lines
where the traffic is not sufficiently
heavy to require double tracking, is
being increased by the construction
of a modern system of lap-sidings
and these lap-sidings are being so
constructed that, if business shall
become sufficiently heavy for double
track lines, they can bo used in a
double track system. In all of these
matters the company is being gov
erned by practical, and not academic,
considerations, and, in pursuance cf
this policy, the management now
contemplates increasing its main-line
double-trackage at a point where the
volume of traffic is heavy, and ex
pects to be able to keep fully abreast
of traffic requirements without going
beyond or straining its present fi
nancial resources."
A Coming Marriage.
The Hon. and Mrs. J. Lyles Glenn,
of Chester, at a dinner to a few
friends Thrusday evening, announc
ed the engagement of their daughter,
Miss Kate: to the Rev E. K. Hardin,
of Rock Hill, the wedding to take
place in June. The bride-elect is a
teacher in the city graded schools,
and is one of Chester's most popular

E. K. Hardin is of an old and well

est and most p: Dmising young min
isters. He served St. Paul Methodist
Church of this city last summer and
has many warm friends here.
Given One Hundred Dollars.
Col. Mortimer Glover, on behalf of
the Orangeburg Military Bank, ap
peared before City Council on Fri
day evening, and asked that an ap
propriation of $200 be made for the
band, which would enable it to give
the weekly concerts this summer.
Council agree to give $100, which is
the same amount that has been giv
en beretafore.

DIFFICULTY NEAR SWANSEA.
Clarence Rucker Seriously Shot by
Barnie Reeder.
A special dispatch from Lexington
to the News and Courier says Clar
ence Rucker, perhaps the largest
cotton farmer in Lexington county,
lies at his home near Swansea, des
perately wounded, and Barnie Reed
er is languishing bebind the bars of
the Lexington jail, the reBult of a
fishing party row at Moore's Pond,
about six miles below Swansea, the
difficulty having occurred at an early
hour Friday morning. Both parties
are reticent in talking about the
difficulty, and information is hard to
obtain.
It is understood that whiskey
played an important part in the
tragedy. It is claimed that Rucker
had carried a gallon of cider to the
party and it was over this that the
shooting took place. It was said
that Rucker fired his pistol four
times, but with what intention can
not be said. Reeder went to his
buggy, followed by Rucker, and a
tussle ensued, it being claimed by
Reeder that Rucker snapped his
pistol in his face, and also struck
bim with his hand. Reeder then,
it is claimed, fired upon Rucker with
a 44-caltbre Winchester, the ball
causing a fearful wound in the leg.
Dr. Knowlton, of Columbia, ampu
tated the injured limb just below the
knee Friday afternoon and the lat
est report from Swansea states that
Rucker is doing as well as could be
expected.
Rucker is a man of considerable
means and prominence in the com
munity. He is a man of family.
Reeder is a young man, being only
about 21 year s of age, and is
married. His family is also promi
nently connected. The unfortunate
difficulty is greatly deplored. Deputy
Sheriff Miller was early on the scene,
but Rucker had already left for Lex
ington.

Met to Pray for Rain.
The following notice appeared in
the Florence Times last Saturday:
"There will be a meeting cf the peo
ple who are interested in the matter
of the crops, in the Times building
auditorium tomorrow afternoon at C
o'clock to pray for rain for the
bringing up the crops. Already a
number of good and faithful people
are praying for rain, and should
their prayers be answered the meet
ing will be turned into one of praise
instead of petition. Those who are
interested are requester toa ttend
interested are requested to attend."
If more of these kind of meetings
were held we would all be. better
off.
Police Neglecting Duty.
Attention having been called to the
flagrant violation of the automobile
ordinance, Alderman Lathrop at the
meeting of City Council on Friday
evening, charged that the restrictions
were being disregarded on every sidei
and that the police department were
negligent of its duty in not bringing
more for the violations of this ordin
ance. Alderman Wannamaker de
defended the motorists, but the mo
tion that the police department be in
structed to give more attention to
the enforcement of the speed ordin
ance was passed.
Badly Wanted Here.
Several r^ople about tc ;n are anx
iously awaiting the re,arn to the
city of Frank Warren, the young
man who was getting up a trade edi
tion for the Evening News. It is said
he left town forgetting to settle up
several bills, amounting to two hun
dred or more dollar?, in addition to
the floating debts, several checks
have turned up at banks here wh*ere
he forgot to leave deposits to meet
them, .lust whe~e the young man
is no one seems to know, but hi?
creditors are anxiously awaiting his
return to the city to make good his
promises to pay.
Badly Needed Law.
Several contractors of the city
have petitioned City Council to pro
vide for a building inspector. The
matter was referred to the r.ommittoe
on the fire department, with instruc
tions to have an ordinance carrying
out the contractors views, and pre
sent the same to Council. This is
a good suggestion, and should be
adopted by Council. Mr. H. Johann
son offered to act as building inspec
tor for one year without charge if
the law was adopted.
