Ab a wliolc the examinations were cxcel K ft fit In all the <? . i'ractloally 110 failures occurred among the Ju nioiK and Henoirs. The utudentK wore allowed a leave or a bwence after the examinations. Monday behiK a holiday, all- those desiring to do ho, were permitted to leave college Saturday a4. one o'clock and return Monday night. Quite a number of students took advantage of thin opportunity; those living nearby Kpoiit the holidays at home. The preliminary for the State ora torical contest wan held in chapel on Friday night, March 27. Quite ,a* number of students entered the preliminary and it 1b hoped that ; Clemson will make nn excellent showing in Hock Hill thiH year. The following men are out for the pre liminary; MetHrn. T. Iladdon.J p. K. Switieheari. T. 1$. YVIlkerson, J. H. Doulhlt, .1. l j. Carson and A. It. hoyd. Those ?\?n have been working hard and a hot content 1h expected. President Kiggs and Dr. 1'oworH have been In Washington for .the legislature made an appropriation for thiB tick eradication , during the last session and it 1b hoped (that aid can be obtained from the Gov ernment also. This tick eradication work should be of special interest to the farm ers of Kershaw county because of the fact that this county in well advanced toward complete freedom from this pest. It is also evidenc ed here that as the tick population decreases the number of beef cattle increases. Do we think there 1b any need for improved beef, cattle in this county? CleniBon'g annual military inspec tion will be held on the 10th and J. 1th of April? nexW- Gol. Guminine is making an effort to show up well in this inspection and get Clemaon as near the top as possible. The student body Is co-operating with him nicely to make a good showing and It Is hopeed that our State col lego will be able to rank among the highest of the military colleges of the South. ' A. M. T. Almost a Panic. Uy the thoughtless act of some one giving the alarm of fire In the opera house Wednesday night, a panic was narrowly averted. The house was well filled ? among the Crowd being many women and chil dren, and only thru the efforts of a lew cool heads it might have re sulted seriously. The crowd had made a rush for the doors, but some one stopped the rush and no one was injured. The alarm was caused by the overturning of a lamp in a down town store, but uo dam age resulted. The party giving the alarm doubtless did not realizo the serious consequences which might have resulted had the crowd not been assured there was no imme diate danger. Mr. Carl Rheneberg, who is a student at the University of South Carolina, spent' Sunday in Camden. DeKalb; Crayola drawing, Kate Gardner, Mill ( school; Pencil draw ing, J. K.

It is a matter of regret that somo splendid school work came in too la'e to be displayed and Judged. We hope that these teachers and pupils will not feel discouraged on account of this, but next year bring in fine ^hlbits and win enpugh prizes to make up for their "tosses this time. We regret . also that the prizes could not be made larger this year. Remember this was our first effort to get up a field day and , county fair for the schools of our county. The many words of commendation which we have received, however, upon this first ejfort, will servo to spur us on to still greater etfort in the future. The parade was an attractive fea ture of field day. It was the long est string of school children ever seen on our streets at one time. "Blue Uibbon" Schools/ Cleveland school won eighteen blue ribbons on fair work and won three contests, thus capturing the prize of $20. The teachers in this school are Mrs. J. E. Pearce and Miss Annie West. Beaver Dam and Hanging Rock ; tied for second prize, and were awarded $12.60 each, which includ ed second and third prize. Misses Kate Murchison and Annie K. Al ford are the teachers of Beaver Dam school, and Miss Eva Britton, the Hanging Rock School. Trinity came in for the next prize, $5. The teachers lit this school are Mr. N. P.
