full of GOOD ROAD Bulletins.
King-"I am going to apply
for my diploma to-day."
C. Johnson-"You certainly
are nervy."
Thur3day, Prof's. Homes and
Seibert made a trip to Ridgeway
C16
with several of the students to
re-locate a highway. This is a
portion of the University exten
cj sion work. It gave embryo en
gineers an opportunity to actual
? ly locate a road, and at the same
time, it also serves to advertise
the University and shows the
people of the community the ad
vantage of having their roads
under expert supervision.
This is only on3 of the practi
cal problems that the students
in this department get an oppor
tunity to handle.
Last Wednesday the seniors
made an inspection of the gov
ernment dam across the Conga
ree. The dam is of the wicket
type. The foundation is of con
crete. On top of the concrete
are plates of cast iron which
support the wickets, which work
on hinges. One end is hinged
to the foundation while the
other is free to move. During
low water the wickets are raised
t> making a dam. During high
water they lie flat on the bottom,
thus offering no obstruction to
the flow.
At one end of the dam is a
lock for the passing of boats.
The walls of the lock are of con
crete. The gates are steel, and
are closed by hand.
The dam is practically com
plete and boats will soon come
to the foot of Senate street.
Dr. J. E. Mills is attending

The regular Y. 'M. C. A. Wed
nesday night was addressed by

dark career, of having spent a
number of years in the Washing

on account of his previous repu
tation.
Mr. Farmer closed by saying:
"You don't know what a great
influence for good you can have
in this university. If God can
use me, a poor, ignorant man,
what can he not do with you who
have had such opportunities!"
"Sandwich Tom,"who had
various experiences in the culti

spiked-tail coat.
