While it is enti possible that a few of the 355 men may not arrive, there will others to take their places, so 1 the total enrollment will most lil . be as great as, if not greater, t that of last session, which was 1,( In this connection, Dr. Riggs c ed attention to the fact that dui the throe decades since the open of Clemson College to students 1893, the averag2 enrollment by cades is as follows: 1893-1901, 4 1901-19 il, 625; 1911-1921, 8 The enrollment of 1,007 for last s sion and the enrollment to date this session give promise that present decade will show aver? yearly enrollment much above a: thing in the past, and it has aire* become a problem of how to prov buildings, equipment and teach: forces for the constantly enlargi student body.

With the change from the three term to the two-semester plan, there has been considerable improvement in ihe courses of the seven divisions of the engineering department, these divisions being as now reorganized mechanical and el^ptrical engi neering, civil engineering, architec ture and drawing, forge and foundry machine shop and woodwork. Decid ed improvements have been made also, says Prof. Earle, in the power plant, which is managed .under the engineering department, hy the ad dition of equipment which will give additional power and provide reserve power, which heretofore has been lacking, and the addition of equip ment for the pumping station to give reserve power for the supply of wa ter to the college community. _ To Cure a Cold in One Day Take LAXATIVE BROMO Quinine.

General orders sent out by the directing head to be strictly adhered to. Orders have been received in Port land by Clifford S. Hamilton, man ager Keith's Theater, that he is to see that all humorous or serious ref erences to prohibition, whether in favor of or against, or contained in songs, jokes, gags or wheezes, or dia logues, be eliminated from all pro grams at the theater. This is a general order signed by E. F. Albee and sent out to every manager on the circuit. The order states that there have been many complaints by patrons of the Keith houses regarding jokes against the Volstead Act. The order also says, in the instructions to house managers, that the humor in prohibition has been overdone and to continue its use by the artists in the Keith thea ters is irritating to those who favor prohibition. In addition to these instructions, Mr. Albee's order to his managers also says the theaters should not be used for political propaganda, giving that as still another reason why no mention of prohibition is to be per mitted. It is understood that this order will hit a great many acts, as many of them have in some way or other some reference to the Volstead Act or the prohibitory law in general. It is even stated thaat many headline acts use this form of joke, but those who have followed the course of e vents have noticed in the past few months a decided objection among patrons of the theaters to reference ;in any way to prohibition. The feel ing seems to be among patrons that the prohibitory law has long since passed the joke stage and, aside from the ethics in the matter, such jokes are so stale that there is no longer any humor in them. It is understood that some such order was issued once before, although not so strin gent as the present order, s.nd was adhered to for a time, but for the past two seasons the use of i;he pro hibition gags, songs and lines, and small talk, has been quite general. When seen upon the matter, Mr. Hamilton, the local manager, stated . that he was very glad such an order had been passed; that from what he knew of the Portland people in . general and his own audiences in particular, he knew that Mr. Albee's , order would meet with general ap proval here.-Portland Evening Ex- . press. Capital Tourists Honor U. S. Heroes. Washington, Sept. 9.-Homage to ; Washington and Lincoln is being shown by more than 1,000,000 peo- ' pie a year. Washington's home, Mt.( ? Vernon, the mecca of virtually all . Americans and foreigners who come to Washington, is being rival?d as , a shrine by the beautiful Lincoln memorial, while the Washington j monument is the most popular of the ? three shrines. i Visitors numbering 34,112. went j during July to the top of Washing- j ton monument, conveniently located j a few hundred yards south of the : White House. More than one-fifth ] of them clambered up the 898 steps in order to see the memorial tablets i on the various landings inside the '. shaft. The remainder rode to the top < in the electric elevator which has a capacity of 35 persons. More than ] 5.250,000 people have visited the top i of the monument since it was open- j ed for observation purposes October 9, 1888. No entrance fee is charged. The Lincoln memorial, recently . completed and opened to the public, was visited by 31,383 persons during July. Located in Potomac park di rectly west of the Washington monu ment it is rather inaccessible for pe destrians, visitors usually go there by automobile. On a recent Sunday 2,000 persons were recorded as en tering the great building. It is rapid ly becoming a shrine for touriste. No entrance fee is charged. General George Washington's old home at Mount Vernon on the Po tomac river in Virginia, 16 miles from Washington, long has been the mecca of pilgrims from every part of the world, who go by steamboat, electric train and automobiles. Kept as nearly in its original state as; pos sible by the Ladies' Mount Vernon association it is a delight to all Americans. During July approxi mately 29,000 persons visited Mount Vernon and during the fiscal year admissions numbered 236,000. A 25-cent entrance fee helps to keep the estate in first-class condition. The house where Abraham Lin coln died, located opposite Ford's theatre at 516 Tenth street, North west, this city, is another shrine vis ited by many tourists. It was bought by the United States in 1896 for $30,000. Fires at Another and Kills Wife. Perry Butler, a young negro, liv ing on T. J. Brigg's farm in E?ge fieid county, about eight miles from North Augusta, was arrested on this side of the North Augusta bridge early last night by Augusta officers and is being held for Edgefield coun ty authorities, as a result of an al leged shooting in which Mary But ler, wife of the arrested negro, was shot and killed yesterday afternoon. The shooting took place in the Bethlehem Baptist church yard at about 4 o'clock. The negro toid the officers here that the church is sit uated in Edgefield county at a point about ten miles from the North Au gusta bridge. He did not deny hav ing used a weapon, but said that his intentions were to shoot a racial brother with whom he had had some trouble. "The other negro shot at me," Butler told the officers, "and I shot back at him and left in a hurry. There was a crowd of people in the churchyard, and I may have shot my wife in mistake," he said, in his story to the arresting officers. Butler told of the difference be tween himself and the other negro, who shot at him, he claims. He said that he had gone to church, and that following the services, when many of the negroes were gathered in the yard, the other negro produced a re volver and shot at him. He said that he returned fire, and after firing one shot, left the place and came toward Augusta. "I did not know whether I shot the negro or not," Butler said, "until I was nearly to the North Augusta Bridge, when I was told that I had shot and killed my wife, Mary." Butler said that he was not making any attempt to elude arrest, and declared that he was ready to answer any charges against him. "I do not deny having shot my wife," the negro said last night, "for I did not want to see. But if I did kill her, it was by mistake, for I meant to shoot the negro man who had shot at me in the churchyard." T. M. Butler, chief of/police of North Augusta, stated last'night that the negro came through ^hat town, and upon seeing a buggy coming to wards Augusta, requested the driver to carry him to Augusta. The white man driving the buggy being una ware of the shooting just a few hours before, picked the negro up and brought him to this city. Chief Butler upon learning that the negro was headed towards Augusta, noti fied the authorities here, and the ar rest followed. The sheriff of Edgefield county was notified last night by the local authorities, and the prisoner was turned over to him at a late hour. The sheriff carried the negro to ed gefield for investigation and trial. Augusta Chronicle. Notice of Sale of Bank Stock. As executer of the last will and testament of M.
