Chairman Johnstone Talks Abou Institution. Col. Alan Johnstone, chairman o the board of trustees of ClemsOn col lego, passed through the city yestci day afternoon enroutc from a meol ing of the board at Olemson to hi home in Newberry. ^tVith him wr Mr. L. A. Sease, who is also a merr her of the board. "We are on our way to our home to rest," said the menial colone "When we arrived at the college o Tuesday for Ihe mid-summer meelin the first thing we did was to pass resolution providing that we mal> I appropriations sufficient only to run the college until we can have another board meeting. We had so much to consider at this meeting that I W knew it would break us down if we tried to accomplish all of it. So con- Clo s sidoration of the annual budget and Th the appropriations provided are only j for a short while. Our next regular An [ meeting time is in November, but wo . expect to have a callcd meeting within ' the next 40 days to receive a report . from the committee appointed to sc- Wl s loot a director of agriculture to sue- Wl i coed Prof. J. N. Hsrper, who has boon transferred to the experimental Sh< station at the collogc. By-the-wny, An some people do not understand the "j connection of the experimental station with (lie college proper. As you Wl know I lie station is supported almost Ap entirely by United States government appropriations. For this reason we Th have it separated from the collogc. All I he slat ion is under (lie supervision of I he college, and the boohs, olc., of '| the station are kept al the college. However, a separate sor of books and Wl accounts, etc., are kept. "The only other business attend- j l.)o< ed lo before adjournment was I ho As passage of a resolution rprjuiring all He new cadets to supply themselves with | two mattress covers, which will cost 'I about 82 cenls each. This was done! as a matter of sanitary protection. An "The college will have about 700 cadets (his year?the number it had j [,1V before the dismissal of the MOO or more cadets. Applications for admission are numerous. Tn my opinion '' the prospects for a successful year at the college are very bright." Col. Johnstone and Mr. Sease were very tired. They hart Tieen up attending a continuous mooring for two ^ '1 nights and nearly two days. The meeting was a most important one, and I ho I rust cos wore anxious lo accomplish as much as possible in the short .... lime I hoy wore al the eolloge. All members of the board except Senator Tillman, and f'apt. .John CI. Kichards of Liberty Hill, wore present. He GREETINGS?WILMINGTON 1008 ,l(l The Rural Carrier's Experience.
