I YOU to attend 01 ' I New< I All thea terested in < FaU PI THE SET-BACK COLLEGE. The second session of the Set-b&c College of Greenville street opei this week. A preliminary meetin was held Friday night, attended b President Kerr and Professors Stai and Bradley and several old student A large number of new students ha\ applied for admission during tfc ' summer, and several examinatior have been held. Among the candidates for admii sion are R. L. Mabry and Herbei Allen of Chestnut street, J. L. Pe: rin of Lower Main and W. A. Calve] of Upper Main. Messrs. Allen an Mabry were found not entirely read for entrance into the Freshman clas and were referred to the Roche Fi' ting School. They must perfet themselves in the little card lead, i knowing the art of bidding withov an ace, as well as in the "cut-in. During the winter they will stand further examination, and if refresl ments are served President Kerr ui dertakes to 'see that they enter o trial anyway. After the business meeting Pres dent Kerr made an address to tb students present and to a number ( their friends who had gathered ii He was a little hoarse from hollo? ing for Manning at the Tuesday nigl returns and spoke with some difficu ty, but he soon forgot this as he b< ?on tr> mm nn to his suhiect. He was introduced by Professc Sondley of they primary departmei in Roche's Fitting School. The a< - dress of the President is given b< low. "Fellow Professors, students an friends:?My name is Jefferson Dav Kerr, nephew of Uncle Jim Starl also a professor in this school, brother-in-law of Dr. Crymes, c Greenwood, a distant cousin of Jo Wheeler, and kin to Governor Adam proprietor of the great furniture en porium on Upper Main street, dea er in the three "H's" Hackne; High Point and Old Hickory vehicle and Mitchell wagons, also thinkin 4-Vto onfnmnKilo Kna ness." "We are gathered together here 1 make plans for the opening of tY second session of the set-back colleg of which I am President, and i these trying times I wish you to ui derstand that I do not underestimal my own importance as the head < this institution. It is a great hone to be at the head of an institutio like this, and it is a great honor fc the institution to have a man like m; self at its head. I admit that an so does my wife and my boy, Sun." "And a man in my position, I wis you to understand, is greatly envie and hated by poor set-back player You will hear such players as Ju Glenn speak of Bob Mabry as a goc player. Now you may think that Jii is paying Bob a compliment, but is only a kick at this college and i > me, its honorable president. Soni men will.give parties on Greenvill street,, my Own street, and have r< freshments and not invite me becaus I am the best player in town. Bi I am too broad-gauged a president t take offense at the small things don by small players, so in such cases drop in about the time the refresl ments are due, and inquire about th game. Of course if they insist stay for the refreshments, if they d not, I stay anyway." "Then again my neighbors are a against me. Cousin Wide Bradley who lives next door to me thinks great deal of me in everything e> ceDt the scientific way in which handle the great game. I can hardl open the front door of my cellarett that Wide does not drop in lookin C* * V * ' ARE COR Lir Fall Opening and Fas ist Fashion: Wear ;e two days we shall ende correct and up-to-date MI Opening W tiils< ' - ^ pleasant and sometimes he drops in when I am not there. But he will not admit my accomplishments as a set-back player, and neither will un18 cle Jim, my own kin. But all great men have beer, misunderstood and 'y reviled until after they were dead i ,. " and people missea tnem, ana it win s' be the same with the President of e this college who now stands before ie you. So look upon him while you 18 may." "I might, be expected to make a 3" few remarks on the scientific way in which I play the game, but as I am r" getting a little hungry and I heard the dishes rattle in the kitchen, I now d move that the professors go into exy ecutive session in the dining room. }S We hope to see you all again, and ^ that as many of you as desire will invite us around to your respective n homes for an examination on your it merits and ability to enter this insti" tution, and remember that a hungry a professor never passes a candidate i- for admission. The school will open on Monday evening at eight o'clock n and the session will last till "Quelve." j I bid you all good night." ie, IMPROVING ROADSIDES >fi IN NEW YORK M M it i * The amount of money brought an1 nuaaly into various rural districts j. by motorists has been estimated at very large figures by different start tisticians. It is difficult to determine !t satisfactorily, but there can be no 1. question thar; the income derived in ?. this way in the sections where the surroundings of the roads are atd tractive is materially increased by (8 this esthetic charm. It is significant of the attention now paid to the a subject that Prof. H. R. Francis of ,f the New York State College of For' ? ? : ^ ig estry nas Degnn an examinabiun ui 3> the roads of that state. The effect i_ of shade on the condition of the 1_ roads, a subject of considerable a technical interest, will be stadied, Sj but the main work will be to find g out how to produce the most satisfactory appearance of the roadsides by trees, shrubs and lower vegetation. In many places beautiful vistas are now spoiled by too much shrubbery or too many trees. In other places 'n the telegraph and telephone lines are so numerous that the treatment of te the roadside is decidedly complicated, nad in other places the roadside ir trees may have an unexpected nflu n ence on crops growing in their shade. )r All these things will be investigated, and suggestions for improvements ^ will be given to the local improve. ment societies of the districts visited. ^ If such advice is followed, a notice1(j able improvement can be made at a 8 very small expense, experience on a ^ small scale shows, and the pleasure ^ of motoring over the more attractive m highways will bring more city money jj. into the county. it e BOOKS OF SUBSCRIPTION. le \ i g. le Pursuant to a Commission issued it to us by the Secretary of State, data ed Sept. 16th, 1916, we will open le books of subscription to the capital I stocK oi r armers uii mui, a proposea l- corporation, with its principal place ie of business at Antreville, S.
