NEW BUSINESS SCHOOL TO BE ESTABLISHED employed in Central and South Americ- and the West Indies. The export company, in co operation with the University, will employ an expert in Latin American business conditions, for the purpose of giving in structions for men who will be engaged in the business with South America. It is stated by officials of the export company that in conjunction with the Chamber of Commerce of At . lanta, such a class has been B formed in the Georgia capital C and nearly a half hundred men are now studying the Spanish language, and Latin-American banking and commercial meth cods. 5 The purpose of this plan is to 'bfit men for handling the busi aness of the export company, through its offices in this coun try and the Latin-American countries, and also for handling the business of enterprises that are expected to locate in this section, for exporting to Latin America. Officers of the export com pany state that large manufac tories will be established throughout the Southeast for the making of export products. The short route to South Amer ica preventing the necessity of shipment through New York, will, it is said, open up the Southeastern States as large manufacturing territory.

C. has been in session at the Jefferson Hotel this week. The meeting was attended by a large number of delegates from every part of the State. The principle address on Wednes day evening-an historical pro gram-was by Prof. G. A. Wauchope.

Interesting and amusing anec-. dotes of the poet's youth were followed by a scholarly esti mate of his high worth as a poet and the quotation by the speaker of some of the poems which won for him the just title,.the "poet laureate of the Confederacy."

The Law Association held its regular meeting on last Thurs day evening. After a short business meeting the associa tion resolved itself into a moot court, with Mr. Graydon sitting as trial judge. The case on docket was an equity case where the plaintiff was asking for a reconveyance of a lot of land situate in the City of Co lumbia. The plaintiff was rep resented by Messrs. Earle and Oxner, and the defendant by Messrs. McIntosh and Dickey. After the attorneys on both sides had made their argu ments to the court, the judge decided that according to the terms of the contract upon which the conveyance was made, that the plaintiff was not entitled to a reconveyance of the land. On last Monday morning IMr. W. W. Ball, editor of The State, read a very interesting paper to the Law School on the formation of the State Consti tutions that have been adopted by the different State conven tions of South Carolina.
