NOTES Of INTEREST FROM CI FMSON COLLECE Clemson College, Oct. 31.-The cross-country team is being whipped into shape now and sore muscles and stiff joints are now a thing of the past. Prcfessor W. D. Reed of Mis sissippi A. an:l M. College has Large of the team this year. Prof. Reed has had much experience with cross country running and is putting out some good men this year. From all indications Clemson will have a win ning team this year. A score of men have reported for training anad they are all being trained to run the three and five mile races. Two meets have been scheduled and, more are to be arranged. Clemson will send a team to the State meet on Thanksgiving day and another team to the A. A. U. meet in Atlanta, Ga., on the same day, and, hence, must have two teams. Clemson has already ,won the State meet two years in succesison and if we win this year the cup will be ours permanently. But, Coach Reed says he will have no second-string team and any man makin gthe teams must be able to show his heels to any of his opponents. Clemson was well represented at the State Fair last week. The mem bers of the college band, the football squad, several members of the faculty, many alumni, and several members of the Junior and Senior Classes attend ing. The Clemson exhibits this year were numerous, and proved interest ing and instructive to all who saw them. Cadets were given the pri velege of attending the Fair by hav ing leave from Wednesday afternoon until Sunday night. Cadet J. E. Hodge, of Manning Route 1, was among those attending. Cadet Iodge returned to the college on Sunday and reports a big time. On Thursday of Fair week Clemson played The University of South Caro lina and the "Tigers" had a hard fight I but finally won by a field goal which. netted three p)oints. Carolina was within one yard of Clemson's goal but were unable to score. Clemson's score came in the last two minutes of play. Robinson, of Winnsboro, was success ful in sending the pigskin through the bars. Carolina defeated Clemson in 1920 and 1921, and the dope said Carolina would win again this year )but the Tigers demonstrated that Clemson was coming back into her old place in the football world. Clem son has won from Carolina a total of fiftoen times out of twenty-one, Carolina winning five times and ty ing once. Classes at Clemson were suspended from 12 o'clock until three and the game, play b yplay, was re ceived by Radio. On Thursday night the Clemson students celebrated with a big bonfire on Bowman Field and an apple scramble afterwards. Clem son meets Georgia Tech in Atlanta, on Saturday, November 4th and the game promises to be a very interest ing one. The October issue of 'The Chronicle' the Clemson magazine, came out last week and is up to its usual standard. The Chronicle contains quite a num ber of poems, essays, and short stories and has bright prospects for a very successful year. One of the poems appearing in this issue was written by Cadet E. D. Plowden, of Jordan, an dis entitled "The Parting Day." The poem follows: Did you ever stop to think glow beautifully the sun Bade farewel Ito parting day When it's work was done? ' flow it sank beneath the clouds, Shedding rays of brilliant light; Driving. off the glorious day, And ushering in the night? It hid it's face 'neat h cloudiedl fol, Of skies in colors rich and rare; Thew middlay's heat was changed to cold. And then't the ntight was in the air. The evening star~ rose o're the hill, The tintedl sky grew dlim and hare; Soft, deep notes of the wvhippoowvill, Rang from the creeks and filled the anr.

This has been a consistent at titude on the part of this great poli tical organization. The present Ad ministration is not an exception. No Congress in the entire history of the country -has been in such complete ac cord with the aspirations of the American farmer, so sincere in every effort to assist him, so successful in legislation for his benefit so active in his behalf, as the present Congress. The agricultural interests of the na tion were facing disaster. As an in dustry agriculture was at a low ebb. Credits were gone. The American farmer was suffering a slow death by financial strangulation. A Republican Congress saw his plight, heard his en feebled cries, and the result was a series of laws whose beneficial in fluences are becoming more apparent every day. Already the American farmer is filled with new hope, cheer ed by new prospects, and ready to go to work again under the encourage ment of better days. Before the Republican Party came into power again on March 4th, 1921, millions of pounds of wool and mutton from Australia, great quantities of corn from South America, and wheat from Canada, had been dumped on our markets. A Republican Congress had attempted to stop this disastrous de luge of agricultural imports by pass ing an emergency tariff, but this was vetoed by President Wilson. If an adequate tariff had been imposed on such importations after the signing of the armistice, agriculture would never have suffered such a terrific' slump as was witnessed by the Ameri can people. Wool 'became so cheap that it was 'largely substituted for cotton. Cotton in turn slid to the bottom. One of the first acts of this present Republican Administration was to re enact the Emergency Tariff Law. It was approved on May 27th, 1921. Prices on wool and cotton. began to move upward almost immediately. It put a stop to the tidal-wave foreign agricultural products. Our own pro ducts began to take their places in the American market, with the profit to the producer commencing to improve. The consumer was also benefitted. Whatever has a tendency to make farm production unprofitable natural ly results in lessened production, a smaller supply of food at the source, and a consequent higher cost to the consumer. With the increased pro duction on the American farm under the .protection of a Republican tariff against foreign imports, came the begiiniig of an era of prosperity for the farmer, and a lowering of the cost of living for the consumer. The farmer is not only the nation's gr-eatest andl most vital producer but he is also the nation's greatest con sunmer. The farming class is the greatest single buyer in A merica of manufactured produc ts of all kinds. The American farmer is the largest B oil s uit Quickt! S. S. S.

The American farmer's prosperity is therefor essen tial to the welfare of all industry and rogram to assist the farmer, and this district needs a r'epresentative of the right political relations to secure a square deal for the Southern farm mer. The farmer in this district has been literally "up against it" for a long time, and Mr. Blomgren says this condition must cease. Cotton should command a higher price. Fed eral aidl must be secured to help him make his crops. He must be helped to develop a great live-stock industry. The government must help him to market his products at a comfortable profit. He must be helped to get money at a reasonable rate of inter est, to carry on his farm improve ments andl the development of his in dustry. There is no reason why the Southern farmer shoukil not have th9 same advantages as his Western pendlent on getting an hearing in Washington and have a representa tive who has the right to ask his Party for what his constituents need.yopayorhueodbls Mr. Blomgren will (10 this. w. .pcae n l eea x For the first time in the politicalsewthrocuceks aese history'of this district, a strong white WPf)YO candidate has been offered by the Re- ud publican Party for the position as Congressman.
