ANNVAL RPOIIT OF PItHSIDENT, I -h4 Attendanoe Larger Than Ever Jhofre--The Spes1d1t Work in the New Textile Doyiirtment, The annual report of President Hartsom of Clemson College, was the first of thei annual reports to reach the superintendent of education this year. The report is exh'ustive and makes a fine showing for the institution. The extracts given will be of interest to the people of South Carolina. It is the eleventh annual report, embracing the period from July 1, 1899 to July 1, 1sg0. The report shows that from Septem ber, 1899, to June 1900. there were en rolled 401 students, 105 being sopho mores, and 141 freshmen. Here are the extracts : " Though not properly a part of this report we should state for the infor mation of the public that since Sept. 1900, 509 applicants have reported to the president .to matriculate. Some of these failed- to enter the classes that they applied for and returned home. The actual attendance now is 476. This enrollment I larger than that at any other agricultural and mecnanieal college In the Southern States, and is exceeded by only a few in other States. For lack of room we reluctantly re jected 300 applicants, although repeat ed statements were published in the newspapers that all available space had been engaged. A conservative es timate shows that had we had adequate dormitory accommodations and other laboratory facilities, Clemson would have opened with 1,000 students this session. "E Every county in South Carolina is represented at Clemson. " A great nany applications have come from other States, but we have declined to consider these applications, as oltinens of South Carolina are ob viously entitled to Aret preference. " This gratifying increase has come despite the fact that the lower pre paratory class was abolished last June. The percentage of old students who have returned is larger than ever be fore in the history of the college. " The wonderful popularity of Clem son College is attributed to the liberal terms ofered to students, to the demand of the times for industrial training, and to the conspicuous success of the grad sates." Here follows considerable about the farmers' institutes held during the summer proving of great advantage to the farmers of the State. "Second, That we ask the aatthori les by all means to continue the in Aitute.- heid from year to year at Aemson College." "The veterinarian has frequent and urgent calls to go to various parts of the State to inspect outbreaks of dis 'ease among horses, cattle and hogs. When practicable, and the character of the disease seems to be of a grave nature, he is sent at the expense of the college; and from April to November o traieled 2,300 miles in the work. Many calls for his service have been made by parties having animals sufering from broken limbs, distemper, colic, and other simple maladies. No response is given to such requests, as the object of the college in this work is to protect citizens of the State against contagious and infectious diseases liable to result in epizootic outbreaks and heavy pec cuniary loss to the stock owners of the community. The veterinarian is vested *with no legal authority to condemn and destroy or even quarantine animals for any disease. So the most that he can do is to advice persons concerned of the * best course to take in order to avoid further loss. "It is a physical impossibility for the veterinarian to respond to the va rious calls for his services and keep up withi his class work and experiment station duties. There is pressing need for the services of an assistant veterin arian. CHARLESTON EXPO51ITION. " At the meeting of the board lasit . Feb:'uary the following resolution was adopted : " Resolved, That the authorities at Clemson College endorse the project of he proposed South Carolina exposi ion of the industries and resources of o State to he held in Charleston in 1. And they hereby pledge what r of aid and encouragement they to the success of the same. And this college will make an exhibit Id exposition. ni obedience to the resolution we already begun to prepare exhibits is exposition. We have thought ter to put aside from time to time products of the regular class room as would be worthy of exhibition, at the preparation of the exhibits - dI be instructive in their nature and would not interfere with the regu 2lar class room work. The students, Itherefore, of the mechan ical,textile and agricultural tiepartments will preserve from time to time specimens of routine work and It is hoped that the exhibit prepared in this way will present to the public a faithful picture of what is being accomplished by our student body. MACADAM ROADS. " Your respectful attention is called to the condition of our macadam road from the college to Calhoun station. This road was built at considerable ex pense and by the best engineering skill obtainable. It is necessary to have a heavy roller for thbe proper mainten ance of this road. Such a roller will cost about $900. Through the courtesy oodroler henthe road was A hevy rlleris not only ohepreservation of the ma adbucanbeused to advan allothr radsand walks Ssine of our library is not com S rate with the dignity and imnor of the college. It has only 3 500 es. These books are well select * 1b t the number as compared with colleges of equal rank and opportunity a very small. The disastrous fire of 894 destroyed our library, and we had ) start from the beginning a second time. It is hoped that more liberal appropriations will be made in the fu ~sture to build up a library that will he Sadequate to the needs of the students and professors. "~ A thletics have become almost an pprtof modern college work. 'j..A(oy sustains, the mind guides, the heart impels. An education which neglects the training of the body is de 'sotive. M~ontaigne was right when he 'alid. 'To brace the mind wo must trengthen the muscles.' ~'Unfortunately, only the richer and siI nger colleges gIve systematic at to tion to the subject of athletics. Seone are inclined to think that if tnere is a good football spirit and base b Yp the college has enough ath \ 1l61nt gall and baseball are ex eelentgamsbut nomore than one ourh othestudents in the colleges part in these exetoises. Nor does he military drill with the mnanual of irms and Aeld movements meet all the 'equirements of physical exeraise. ['he drill often changes gawky, slouchy >oys into erect men, but fhe drilling is i sort of compulsion. The mind Is un ler a strain. The drill does not do relop, one by one, all the ipusoles of he body. Military drills ar6 impor lant and helpful, but they cannot take Ihe place of athletic eierci. s West Point recogni7.es this, and- has, there fore, established a magnificent-gymna 3lum. " I would again remind your 'honor able body of the need of a gy~lhasium and a competent instructor to -onduct it. "I am glad to report that a gentle manly athletic spirit prevails at Clem son. The various athletic teams have won many victories in their intercol legiate contests, which have served to Quicken enthusiasm, These teams are ree from debt. Students with unsatis factory class records are not allowed to play in intercollegiate contests. " It is the universal testimony of col lege men that discipline is better in colleges where athletic sports are in favor, because such exercises provide a natural outlet for surplus animal spirits. AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT. "To the casual observer it, would seem that the agricultural department is the easiest to organize and operate, but as a matter of fact it is one of the most difficult. The curriculum covers a wide field of learned subjects which must be co-ordinated and taught with special application to the business of farming. "Under present conditions it is difil cult to have a compact organization in the agricultural department. Unlike other departments the divisions are not gathered together in one building. There are separate buildings and equipments for the divisions of horti culture, veterinary science and animal husbandry. If practicable, it would benefit this department greatly to have all the division in one building. MECHANICAL DEPATE'NTV. "The continually increasing number of students taking the engineering course made it imperative for us to remodel the mechanical hall. A new dynamo laboratory has been erected, a thirty foot addition to the foundry has been made, and the machines have been so rearranged that we can now provide for all students taking the work. The effect of this rearrange ment is to double the capacity of the department and to make it much more convenient. If we wish to keep abreast of the remarkable developments made along technical lines we must continue to provide from time to time such ma chinery and models as will illustrate the recent advances of science. At many of the large universittes they have complete sets of kinematic mod els to illustrate the science and prin ciples of mechanism. At Cornell the models number 200 and cost $15,000, While we cannot hope to have such a large collection here, we might make a start in that direction. The demand for our young men graduating from this department greatly exceeds the supply, and on account of the marvel ous industrial movement throughout the South, it is quite likely that even the large classes now going out will not be able to supply the demand for some time to come. "in the division of electrical engin coring the classes are becoming toc large for the instructor to do efficient work. Should there be any further In crease in the size of the classes, ai seems probable, an additional instruc tor will be necessary. "The mechanical department contin ues to maintain the high standard which has characterized its work in the past years. TEXTILE DEPARTMENT. "A three story extension, 72 x 75, is nearing completion. The second and third fliers will ise used for. additIonal machinery, while the first floor will be ured for a dye house. The present boiler will be insullhicent to furnish heat for the extension. The growing popalarity of this department will necessitate an early increase in the teaching force. The handsome ging hams, toweling, mercerized goods, and other flee fabrics made by our students have attracted the attention of many visitors. Young men of the State have not the opportunity to study such classes of manufacturing around them, and they must, therefore, depend upon textile instruction in order to get this knowledge. "As an illustration of the industrial importance of textile educatIon we present the following figures: South Carolina's cotton crop of 800,000 bales at '1 cents a pound is worth 628,000,000. In addition to the usual Instruction in mechanics, mathematics, EnglIsh, ma nipulation of cotton machInery, de signing, dyeing, the textile students are taught to design and weave varn ous fancy fabrics. Among others may be mentioned twills, sateon weaves, mercerized checks and imitation swivel silks. The value of a South Carolina crop of cotton if manufactured into these gcods would be as follows: T wills at 32c per pound..... .. $128,000,000 Sateen weaves at 75c p~er pound, 300,J000,000 Mercerized checks at $1 per pound......... .........400,00,000 Imitation swivel silks at $2 por pound...... .. ...800,000,U0 "Startling as these figures may ap pear they represent the worth of our cotton crop when converted into fancy weaves. One object of our textile de partment is to tit students for such work. "We are now in need of more ma chinery for the textile department among other machines, one silver lap per, one ribbon lapper, one comber, representing an expenditure of about *2.500. These mnac hines will enable the students to study classes of Inc work which we are not now able to teach. We should also have some looms for weaving "Ingrain carpets." The present value of our textile de partment is about $45,000, at a cost to the State of not over $29.000. A con siderable part of this $29,000 was ex pended for freight supplies, insurance, etc. "The textile department is making admirable progress along all lines. CIIEMICA L D)EPARITMENT. "In order to meet the growing do mands of the chemical department a new building is now In process of erec tion, which we hope to have completed on or before the first of January. With the completion of this addition our chemical department will be large enough to meet all pr-esent demande. This department is thoroughly organ ized and is doiug the most cecient work in every respect. HEALTH AND ORDER. "Our health record for the session of 1899-1900 has not been surpassed by any other sectIon of the State. "The milItary department has main tained excellent discipline. There have been no tunmultuary disturbances. '-Clemson college has many needs, but they are all needs that belong to halthy grnwth.'' BhII ARP A*N CHUII *A. ALL OF TE1R LOVE -GMANDPA. He Likes to see the Little ones at Play. There are a Great Many Beautliul Things in Life. These little chaps alarm me-alarm me with their innocence, their happi ness, their love, for I have a forebod Ing that it cannot last. Life is full of sorrows and they will have their share. It is the common lot. One melancholy poet says: "Man was made to mourn. Another saye: "I would not live al waya," but I like that one better who wrote "The world Is very lovely. Oh, my God, I thank Thee that I live." From my window almost every day I see two little girls, only four and six years old, turning the corner and com ing up through the grove to see grandma and grandpa and be petted and of course, befoasted with bis cuit and jolly and apples and to nurse the cat and play with their little cousin's fine Parls doll. They always come hand in hand and with clean faces and ribboned hair and we meet them at the door, for they bring sunshine to our hearts and home. I love to have them climb into the back of my big chair and bother me while I write, and I have to stop and draw pictures for them and to hear the little one call me her good old for nothing gan'pa. The other day 1 met them going another way and they said they wero going to see their other grandma, "Yes," said I, "you have two grand mas, but you havont got but one grandpa." The little one looked ur lovingly to me and said: "We don'i need any more." I bought a fint tai key for the boys who are coming and the little girl surveyed him an said: "Gan'pa, he is running at the nose and it's bloody." It was the oldei one who said the turkey was shk, J reckon for he keeps vomiting. Dean Swift was a cynic and had n( love for children. Lie said that at author who talkad about his own book: was as silly as a mother who was evoi telling something smart about hei children. I reckon he would say tha grand parents were more silly tnar mothers. I confess that it is a goot part of my happiness now to mingli with and to put the little grant children and that is wAy I feel alarme< for fear something will happen to then before I die or that I will die befor they get old enough to love me with i love that will not forget, and I thinl of Tom Moore and his gazelle tha died. I don't know, where my spiri will be, but it seems to me now that would like to have these little one bring flowers to my grave sometime and talk about me. What would th, world be without children, for of sue] is the kingdom oi heaven. Jus imauine for a moment the desolation the despair that would pervade th home and society and trade and com merce-not a day school in all th land, nor a Sunday school; not a litti shoo or stocking nor a litt1 hat nor a doll or toy In any store; a castoria or soothing syrup or othe infanthie 'mediclnes; no liraworka, n Christmas nor Santa Claus; no nothin hardily, for it is a fact that the worli is working for children. The cynics sa; that marriage is a failure. Suppose I is in many cases. Unildren are no failures. Divorces may et.Ia the lov of man and wife, but they still lov Lie chiidren and contend for th possession of them. Good schools build up towns and con munitles and the cbildren make th schoole. Country people move to tow to elucate them. What would becom of the 4,000 teachers In the Btate c Georgia? What would the publisher do with all their schoolbooks an picture books? Who would go to picnic or a monkey show? What ex iuse would men folks have for gein to the circue? Wouldent it be a lor.c some, no account world? But marriage is net a faIlure. I could not be, for it was ordaIned b. God. Oae or two unhmappy marriage in a community sets all the dogs barki lng. Divorces are multiplying, bu only among the very rich or th drunken poor. Money or whisky ar the cause of most of them and In nin cases out of ten thu man Is to blamt There is but one Scriptural ground fo divorce and nine men are guilty c that to one woman. Poor, long suffer ing women. How silently, secretl; and sadiy you have to endure what yol know, but cannot tell, and all you cai do Is to hug your children all the close to your bosom and trust in God. I was rumInating about children be cause I am away off from mine and og my way here I passed a country schoc house just as the children were pilin out for recess and they came like bee out of a hive. As long as the tral: stopped at that station I watched then at their merry plays and sports in the pretty grove near by and I almos wished that I was a boy again so tha I might join them. Good gracious how I could run and jump and cdim' and shi :ut; how long and happy wa the day. "The sun ne'er rose a wink too .ioon Nor brought too long a day, But now I often wish the night Had borne my breath away." Tomn Hood wrote that, poor fellcw I do not say it, for I love to live a it have few regrets to distress me. I an here in Okcolona, a p~retty town with 1 pretty name. This good old State, daughter of Georgia, is full of Indls.i names of towns and countIes ant rivers. These names are all that il left of the tribes-the Chickasaws ant Choctaws and Creeks and Natches They were a proud and happy people but had,to vanish when the pale facel came and coveted their lands. Colone Gordon, a Confederate veteran, live here and interested me greatly in tht history of Missisbippi, for ho and hii father before him' could say "magm pare full"-"a good part of it I was.' He gave me the origin and meaning o these indian names, such as Pontotot and Tupelo and Okolona, and also o: Aberdeen, which his father, who wai a Scotohman, had named Dundee, bul got mad because our people would call it Dundy and so changed it to a nam( they could not mispronounce. Hhi father was very wealthy, ownin~ thousands of acres of rich prairie land that he had bought from the Chicka saws before they signed the treaty thai ceded their lands to the Unilted Statet gqvernment. I said that his father was a native oi Scotland. Of course he was or he couki never have bought those lands. The Indian tribes all liked the Scotch men, for they treated them fairly and kindly in trading and taught them the use of the cross bow and long bow. Those Scotohmen frequently mnarried IndIan maidens, the daughters of the chiefs, and in course of time their half breed childrenbocame the chiefs. Such was R~oss and itidge and Mcintosh and Ococa. Major Colbert, adother half breed whose Indian namos was Itta wamba, became chief of the Chicka saws. Hie was a great favorite with Mrs. Dolly Madison, the 'President's wife, for he was a splenhedpeoffaent of Indian and Sctic. raainhood and whoi samte andl sll educated. Mr. Mrad tw ob Sal of so, Do not think to for a sin le at tb moment th at M: consumption Bt will ever strike TI you a sudden bu blow. It does not come that lie way.

De Witt Talmnago Re- ~ r calls Menmories or William Cullen o fBryant, Fenimore Cooper, Washing- t - ton Irving and Daniel Webster. t S At Christmastide we all become a , meditative, and are disposed to 1look n e~ back more than to look forward. En pecially is this so if we sit by a coun- F . try fireplace, or a city grate where the t! , kind of coal you burn allows the flames h i to gallop, and shake the shadows up fe r and down the 'wall. h 's In my house on Oxford street, Brook- h i lyn, in 1876. we had a memorable gath- p ering, the memory of which I still d , cherish as among the moat treasured LI a of my Christmas r eminiscences. Many t ladies and gentlemen were present, ,but the most conspicuous-not because y of any pretense on his part, but by , sheer force of elevated character-was s' -William Cullen Bryant. He did not ,much like to be helped out of the car. riage when he came, nor to be helped into it again when he departed. H~e was the impersonaition of simplicity. . He no doubt knew that he was admired of all, but he gave no demonstration of that fact. T 'ho evening had nearly passed when Ithe mayor of the city made an address of appreciation both of Martin Ftarqu h ar Tupper, the Englieh poet, then present. and our venerable Americanr poet. Bryant and Tupper, before the other guests came, had boon seated on the sofa, quoting~ poetry and reviving Ireminiscences. After the mayor, ad dresses by Messrs. Bryant, Tupper and Peter Cooper and the Rev. Des. f. S. Prime, Dowling and others. But I had always been desirous of hearing Mr. Bryant rea.. one of his poems. I had attended the Bryant meeting a year or two before in Chickering Hlall, New York city-a meeting at which the metsic was good and the speaking good, but there was a great lack in it of Wii-i 11am Cullen Bryant himself. His 1,r speech of response was only about three miinutes, while he spent all the rest of the evening~ in doing nothing t except keeping silence and looking d venerable. I thought, Why does not , c somebody think of asking the glorious old man to come forward and read his 12 ".Forest Hymn," or lines to a " Water fowl," or the "1Death of the liowers ?" ~ But no such thing happened. Q.1 the E evening at my house I resolved that no .t such omission should be repeated. I wt sprung my stratagem on him in the wi most unexpected moment. Mr. T'upper, Io at our request, had road a selection rI1' from his own poems, and read them well. Turning to our American poet, I said : " Mr. Bryant, I have always E& wanted to here you read 'Tnanatopsis,' and I have no doubt it would be a great wh joy to all our guests to hear you read ~l it. I have it hear in Griswold's com pilation. Will you grant us the graat Oe favor of reading it?' * a Bryan blushed like a hashful Misa when asked to play on the piano. sa I Iaje was evidently a strenggla be. en his modesty and his desire to be iging. After a momnent's pause, he d : " I would rather read anything %n my own writings; but if it will be any plessure to you I will do as you f." Taking the book, he advanced the middle of the room, looked up the chandelier and then looked at 3 book. " Take my spectacles," said . Tupper. " No, no," said Mr. yant, "I do not need spectacles." ie type of the book was rather.small, t he made no hesitation. There he lod, at 82 years of age, about to read thout spectacles a'poem he had pub hea in the North American R3view 1810, when he was 18 years of age I turnet round and said : " You will derstand that'I do not recite this )m memory, for I am not familiar th it. I only re d it." With calm, >w accent he read on. * N * It was a scene never to be forgotten. was 1816 reading to 1870. He did t hold the book away off as octoge rians are wont to do when they read thout glasses, but jnet as a man of would hold a book. His long white ard snowed upon the page. As he me to the last nine lines his voice came feeble, not with physicial 3akness, but with suppressed emo )n. I had read it, and reread it, as 'crybody else has, until I thought ore was no more to get out of the using lines of " Thanatopsis," but he ive it a new translation that memor >le night. Could it, be that I had ever satd it before? The white, over inging eyebrows, the deep-sunken 'es, the great dome of a forehead )ove a thin body, the realization that must be- the closing hours of the rong winter winds that swept round LO house while he was reading, were commentary upon the Immortal pasi fe, until I write them here under the3 lf-deluslon that no one has ever seen heard them before: So live that when thy summons comes to join he innumerable caravan that moves o that mysterious realm where each shall take is chamber In the silent halls of death, hou go not, like the quarry-slave at night, courged to his dungeon, but sustained and soothed y an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave ike one that draws the drapery of his couch .bout him, and lies down to pleasant dreams. We never saw him again. We said Good night" till under other skies we dall say "Good morning." I could not 2at night help thinking of the first .me I saw Mr. Bryant. It was in the aye of my boyhood, at Tripler Hall, t the meeting in oommemoration of 'enimore Cooper, who had just died. Vashington Irving came forward to all the meeting to order. He was em arrassed as I never before or since iw a speaker embarrassed. He had is hat in one hand and his gloves in de other. His chief perplexity seemed ) be how to change his'hat and gloves > the other hand. He hemmed and awed and stuttered, and blushed and owed and half broke down while pro anting Daniel Webster as the chair ian of the meeting. Daniel Webster 2 a pccai' kuiroduced William Cullen Iryant as the orator of the evening. or more than.an hour Mr. Bryant dis Dursed of his friend, the author of Wing-and-Wing,' "Red over " and bie " Two Admirals." What a night 2 Tripler Hall that was ! Was there ver such a group on one platform? Vashington Irving calling to the chair baniel Webster to introduce William ulien Bryant ! But which most affected me I cannot asily tell-Bryant-, in 18S1, applauded f the multitude in Tripler Hall, or is-yant in my parlors In 18761. The no was " Ndontide !" The other was Sunset !' T.
