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 camer A. D. MANN. 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. B. U. F. Marietta. R. 2, Mrs. W. Mi.

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.
