Awarded to \V .(*. McLeod, of Darlington.
Though the wind still blew cold,
the rains very considerably ceased
Monday night and the sun has been
making efforts to smile on the seventy-four
grave and reverend seniors,
who received their diplomas from
Clemson College Monday morning, in
the presence of a largo gathering of
people. The commencement day exercises,
which began at 10:.'10 with
the addresses of the graduating class,
ended with the publishing of the
leave of absence order at one o'clock.

over the exercises with ease, grace
and dispatch. On the rostrum, when
the exercises opener, were the orator
of the day, Mr. Joseph A. McCollough,
of Greenville; Dr. ltiggs, members
of the trustees, the faculty, the
senior orators, three in number; the
local ministers and the cadet orchestra,
which furnished music throughout
the commencement program,
graduating class was a forceful
Mr. McCollough's address to the
speech on "The Community Spirit,"
and was full of wholesome and well
put thought. The speaker made a
most favorable impression on his
large audience.
Senior Orators and Subjects.
The three senior orators spoke as
follows: D. L. Cannon, Spartanburg,
on"And Yet There is Room"; T. F.
Davis, Ilichland, on "The Panama
Canal," and A. C. Turbeville, Charleston,
president of the class, on
"America's Mission as a Peacemaker."
These speeches, though brief,
were thoughtful, well written and
well delivered.
Following the class orations came
tho delivery of the diplomas to the
seventy-four young men who, having
finished the four-year course, received,
at tho hands of President Itiggs,
tho degree of bachelor of science.
Preceding the delivery of the diplomas
Col. Alan Johnstone, of Newberry,
president of the board of trustees,
made a brief address to the
class, and following the conferring of
the degrees, Dr. Riggs, in a few well
chosen, happy remarks, bade the class
of 1913 good-bye and Clod-speed.
Dr. R. II. Timmerman, a member
of the board, acting as chairman of
the committee of judges, which heard
the oratorical contest on Monday, delivered
the medal to the winning orator,
Mr. W. H. Frampton, of Charleston,
who represented the Calhoun
Society in a strong speech on the
"Panama Canal Act".
The Hon. Richard I. Manning, another
member of the board of trustees,
then delivered, in a pleasing little
talk, the Norris medal offered annually
for the most meritorious graduate,
the award being based unon
scholarship, general conduct, loyalty
to the College, etc., during the last
three years of the course. The fortunate
winner this year is Mr. W. G.

Wrong and Right Views of Farm Life
The head of one of the great agricultural
colleges In the country says
that hoys can not ho kept on the farm
by talk about golden butter and
grain, glorious sunsets, and other
such sentimental phrases. In fact he
says that such language has done
much to drive boys off the farm and
into the city.
And he is right. The poetic gush
about "gentle shepherds", "lowing of
kine," "limped streams," "fragrant
air" and much more in the same
style, and the Wattoau-like pictures
of dairy maids with hair festooned
with flowers, wearing impossible
dresses and tripping gaily to milk the
cows do not fool the boy who knows
that in farm life there is far more
prose than poetry, and hard work
than lilting of love songs under
shady trees.
Rut get the boy to realize that farming
when properly conducted pays
far better than most of the propositions
the city can offer; that there is
good money in corn, cotton wheat,
hogs, cattle and the other products ol
the farm, and he will he content
with farm life. Esnecialv will this
bo tho case if, while a hoy, he shares,
in tho profits of the farm.
William Jennings Bryan says thai
even if ho were a drinking man he
would never let a child seo him take
a drink. Mr. Bryan is right.

route Sermon?President Snyder j
Delivers Masterly Address?Rev. J.
K. White Makes a Magnificent
Oration.
Thirty-nine young men were graduated
from WoiTord college this year.
Their degrees and diplomas were
warded Monday morning in the college
chapel, following a masterly address
by Rev. J. TO. White, D. D., I,L.
1)., Pastor of the First Baptist Church
Of Atlanta, his subject being "In the
House of Our Fathers." It was a patriotic
appeal to the young men of
the South to take their places among
those directing the destinies of the
nation.
On Sunday morning the annual
baccalaureate sermon was preached
at Central Methodist church by Bishop
10. I). Mou/.on of Texas, a Wofford
man and a native of Spartanburg.
He spoke upon "Personal Responsibility"
and delivered a message that
has loft its impression upon the community.
Sunday evening President H. N.
Snyder delivered the baccalaureate
address before the class at Bethel
Methodist Church to an immense an
uience. it. onyuer took as ms sunject,
"The Measure of a Man." Me
spoke upon the handling of human
materials and the mission of the college
in this respect, lie declared that
the value of education and training
was to cultivate the power of discriminating
the best of human intelligence.
11 <? touched briefly upon the
distastefulness of ragtime music,
cheap art and Action of a lighter and
baser sort, and drew the lesson of the
failing of the man to measure up
who was guilty of such practices.
"What is best in life and achievement
is the measure of man, and it is what
comes out of college and not what
goes in that counts," he said.
The fifty-ninth session of Wofford
college came to a close Tuesday,
when thirty-nine young men, the
class of lOlfi, received their diplomas
and heard the touching farewell message
of President Henry Nelson Snyder.
In speaking his last words officially
to the class Dr. Snyder said:
"Young men, after hearing the address
of Bishop Mouzon and of the
address of Dr. John E. White, is it
possible there is one of you who does
not feel nobler, stronger, broader and
more enriched? If you do not, then
it. must be that you are dumb. Reconsecrate
yourself to the future in
which you .are now entered."
The speeches of the six representatives
of the class were well delivered,
the subjects were timely, appropriate
and splendidly developed. The speakers
in the order of which they appeared
and their subjects follow:
G. H. Hodges, Orangeburg county,
"The College Student and Missions."
J. C. Ilyer, Aiken county, "The
Young Malefactor."
J. G. Kelley, Spartanburg county,
"Thfi Pnimnrvn t i/>n r> f Vnflnno 1
Health."
Z. R. Madden, Raurens county,
"The Ineniciency of the Criminal
Court."
IT. R. Rims, Orangeburg county,
"The Value of a Rife."
R. J. Stillwell, Al)hevil1e county,
"Society and tlie Criminal."
The commencement address before
the class was delivered by the Rev.
John E. White, D. D., RR. I)., of
Atlanta, Oa. This address, sparkling
with patriotic utterances and urgent
with pleading for the men of the
graduating class to assist in bringing
the South again into its own, was
pronounced one of the best, addresses
ever delivered from the rostrum of
Wofford Chapel.
The address on the subject of "In
the House of Our Fathers," was a
portrayal of the past and a glimpse
into the future, interspersed here and
there with thoughts that were inspirational.
The query, "Can the
South come back?" was provisionally
answered and the question was left
open for the men of the class of 191.1
finally to answer. The chapel was
crowded to hear Dr. White's splendid
ad dress.
The degree of A. Tf. was then conferred
on the members of the graduating
class and each was presented
, with a IUble along with his diploma.
From its foundation nearly sixty
years ago, Wofford college has given
a Bible to her graduates when they
receive their degrees and diplomas.
The commencement exercises began
on Saturday evening with the
Junior Debate, in which six young
men from the junior class took part.

CHARGE AGAINST DUNN |
SAID TO IIAVK MADK WAY WITH
HANK ASSKTS. (
lleud of Defunt Interstate Trust Company
is Order to Produce Slid,
OOO.
A dispatch from Aiken says papers
demanding that R. Sherwood Dunn, '|
president of the bankrupt Interstate
Trust Company, produce assets to tlie
amount of $1 10,000, which Capt. W.
\V. Williams, United States referee in
bankruptcy, alleges that Dunn has
concealed, were served Tuesday on
Dunn by order of Captain Williams,
and criminal action may follow, as a
result of the charge that has moved j
and secreted his assets. i
This action grows out of the In vol- (]
untary bankruptcy proceedings In (]
connection with the Interstate Trust v.
Company, which owned the Citizens (
Trust Company of Auirusta. because .
of the failure of which institution c
Dunn lias been indicted in (Jeorgia on
a charge of violating the banking ,
laws of that state. ,
Captain Williams state that some
time ago Dunn swore in the presence (
of his attorney that the Interstate
Trust Company owned assets amount- (
ing to $:ir?0,000. Named in the sehedule
were several thousand dollars ^
worth of household goods, books, tapestries,
bric-a-brac, paintings, bank {
fixtures, etc., most of which were said
to be in the magnificent Aiken home (
of the Dunns, on llayne Avenue.
Three or four months ago United |
States Marshal Adams came to Aiken
from Charleston, and acting upon instructions
from the United States
I court, took possession of the Dunns'
home. The Dunns have been permit- (
ted to occupy the house since then,
however, until Monday a sale was ,
held on the premises under direction .
of the referee in bankruptcy. (Joods t
to the amount of from $1500 to $100 .
were sold.
It had been advertised that the
sale would continue from day to day
until all tin' goods in the house were (
sold, but Captain Williams has called
off the continuance of the sale, stating
Tuesday morning that it would be ,
postponed until other goods, named
as assets, were located. He claims
that certain valuable goods have been (
removed from tin1 Dunn home, and ,
has taken action to compel Dunn to j
produce them. (

Henry R. Sims, of the Senior class. f
Rev. D. M. McoLod made the j
awards of the society essay medals. (
after a short talk. The Preston Hit- j
orary society medal was presented to
Mr. Henry U. Sims, of the Senior
class; the Calhoun society medal was '
awarded to Mr. Ik M. Asbill, of the
Senior class. i.Mr. McRood also pro- 1
sented the Latin medal to Mr. 1). L. *
Hdwards, who has made distinction
on Latin through his college course. 1
The class baseball trophy cup was f
awarded to the Senior class by Mr. J. 1
L. Sims, editor of the Orangeburg 1
Times and Democrat.
Monday evening the alumni ad- (
dress was delivered in the college ;
chapel by Mr. E. Bobo Smith, of the ?
class of 1 877. Mr. Smith, who is one 1
of tho editors of the Baltimore Sun, '
delivered a most excellent address, 1
which was heard by a large crowd. '
After tho address two other medals 1
were awarded by Prof. Tilltnghast of '
Converse College;
The Science Medal was awarded to
Mr. H. H. Brown, of the senior class. ;
The B. Hart Moss prize, which is a 1
twenty-dollar gold coin, offered for
the best historical paper, was awarded
to Mr. Hugo S. Sims, of the senior ;
class. i
This ended the commencement ex- ;
ercises. Then came tho annual banquet
of tho Wofford alumni, which
was held in tho dining room of the
new dormitory, Carlisle (Memorial
Hall.
Hon. .7. TiVles Glenn, of Chester, ,

of Union county; Rev. P. II.
Sliuler, of Latta; I)r. II. N. Snyder,
who spoke most touchingly of the
class of Wofford college which did
not graduate because it volunteered
to a man in 1 862 in the Confederate
army before commencement day, and
the members of which received their
diplomas in camp in Virginia; W. W.
Wannamaker, of St. Matthews; Judge
B. Hart Moss, of Orangeburg; Rev.
D. 10. Camak, of Spartanburg; J. C.
Hyer, of the graduating class; Bishop
Mouzon and 10. Ik Smith, of Washington.
A splendid slipper was served and
the small hours of the morning were
spent under the spell of oratory of a
reminiscent vein from the men of the
earlier years of Wofford, and in hearing
the visions and hopes of the
younger alumni, who have yet to
"make good" and bring back laurels
for the brow of their alma mater.
Some of the papers are stressing
the nocessity of keeping the boys
away from the wash boles in the
fear that they may be drowned. The
Augusta Chronicle says the only
plan is to go to the wash holes with
mum ami leacn mom to swim.
"We hope for no change In the
weather until a snow is reported In
Atlanta," says the Florence Times. It
would take more than one snow to
clarify things over there if Tom Folder
is allowed to hang around.

r~
train, Killing and Injuring Several
y :
Persons. f
At Stamford, Conn., four persons
were killed and many injured, some
KoriouHly, ;ik the result of a rear-end
collision on the main line of the New ^
York, New Haven and Hartford
Railroad, opposite the local passenger
depot at 4:00 o'clock Wednesday afternoon,
when the second section of 3
the Springfield express, west-bound,
crashed into the first section, which
waH leaving the station. (
The engine of tho second section
ploughed half way through the Pullman
car Skylark, tho last car on the
first section. In this car there were
thirty-one passengers and practically
all of them were injured.
According to an official statement
by the railroad tho indications are c
that the engineer of the second section
ran past danger signals. The
Springfield express was the same
train that was in the wreck at West
Port, Conn., last October, in which
eight persons were killed and scores
injured. This wreck was caused by
the engineer running past signals.
Simultaneous with the crash tho
wreckage took fire and tho city fire
department was called out. Tho
blaze was easily extinguished, however,
and the work of rescue begun
at once. 1
Marly arrivals on the scene found
the ltev. Anthony Herhlcr, a Catholic 1
, priest, of New York, cooly directing
I the work of rescue. Although inI
jured himself, ho refused to go to a
I hospital until others, more seriously
,| hurt, had been taken care of. Telling
I of his experience, he said: ;
"There was no warning, just a
smash, and the next Instant the wholo
i
car was topsy-turvy. 'Men and wo- ,
i men seemed to bo almost suspended
in the air, and there was a mass of .
everything conceivable flying about at
random. Then all seemed to settle
> except the escaping steam and the
hot coals from the fire box that soon
burst into flames. Women's screams
, of helplessness and terror, and the
i deeper cries of men, some in mortaly

"< 'ant ionary List for IfMJI."
A prominent Knglish paper Las
just published a book of more than
[ one hundred pages which it calls
i "Cautionary List for if) I It." In it are
> the names of 750 people of whom the
I t lie public are warned to beware -because
they are sharpers, imposters, I
f swindlers or shady persons who prey 1 .
, upon innocent and ignorant i>?M>ple.
I Under the head of "Religion and 1
Philanthropy" is given the names of
fifty people or societies that make a
practice of swindling the benevolent.
I Medical quacks, money lenders ami
1 many other classes arc dealt with la

? exposed. Probably there is not a -hf
. business man in this or other towns
? who has not wished many times ever
! for some such aid that might enable ba
j him to distinguish between worthy >r

r ihle that at tiim^s even the very elect 2T
i are deceived. The only safe rule Is 3C
to have nothing to do with agents C
H who are not furnished with official
c credentials of societies that have )r<
proved their worth, nor under any
circumstances to dabble with get- ,3(j
rich-quick schemes, lie who abstains 18
from so doing will avoid many after

pose the senators who are left of the

against the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill
