would indoed make most Interesting
reading, but this is ono point that he

Mr. Holmes has never divulged bis
trim Identity, preferring'to bo known
t.imply as Sherlock Holmes, Jr., a
part that ho has played for so long
now that ho lias roally como to look
upon it as a part of himself.
Knows Public Men.
"Though . young in years, Mr.
Holmes h an had a world of experi
ence Many of our most prominent
men in present day public life are
known to him personally, and with
many ot whom he 1b upon tho terms
ot the closest Intimacy, none of whom
know him, however, as Sherlock
Holmes, Jr.
"Mr. Holmes has received many
flattering offers from publishers und
others too numerous to mention, to
all of whom he has turned a deaf car,
preferring his present occupation to '
anything else, or, as he aptly sayn:
'He is best pleased who pleases him
self?and that's me.'

Faculty and Trustees of Institution
Well Pleased and All Old Stu
dents Were Enthusiastic
The HrBt "home-coming week" that
Clemson college has ever attempted
to hold came to an end Sunday and as
thu old students of the famous insti
tution passed through Anderson yes
terday, en route to their homes, they
said that it was a far bigger success
than any one had hoped for.
Sunday was the last day of the gen
eral exercises. The Rev. T. C. McCall
preached a strong sermon at the
morning hour and band concerts wero
given In the afternoon and evening. It
is understood that all told about 500
former students registered during the
thrco days of the home-coming while
many others came in autoiuob'les ar\l
did not register their arrival. .
The welcome exercises Saturday
night wore highly enjoyable. Presi
dent Rigg8 in a short speech spoke
most feelingly of the pleasure that the
homecoming gives to the faculty. He
enumerated tno ? Improvements that
have boen made in recent years and
outlined plans for tho future develop
ment of the college. Ho said that while
tho material development had heon
great?In the building and the ?quipe
ment?that there had been greater and
more Important growth in those things J
not seen by the bodily eye.
H. C. Tlllman addressed tho vis
itors in the name of the alumni asso
ciation of which he is the president.
He spoke eloquently of the work Of
the college, and closed by saying "We !
may come am} go, but Clemson will go |
on forever." ,
"Great is a labor of love," said Pres
ident Riggs, in presenting Alan John- |
stone, of tho board of trustees, "and in
Introducing the next speaker I feel
that I am presenting a man than whom
no ono has labored more lovingly and ]
unselfishly for Clemson." "This," said i
Mr. Join.stone. "Is a band of lovers j
bound by cords softer than silk and
stronger than steel." He spoke ein- |
quently of the self-sacrlflee of tho j
trustees, and their consecration to
duty; paid a high trlbuto to the fac
ulty; presented a vision of the mis
sion of the college; and called on the
Bons to be loyal.
C B. Newman, who is Bald to have
made the best examinatiou on record
when he stood for entrance to the ser
vice of the United States and who is
now In the revenue cutter service, said
that he was glad every day he was a
student at Clemson, that he was gtad
now every time ho thought of bavin*
boon a student, and that he was glad
to be hack again.
B. H. Rawl, head of the dairy divis
ion of the department of agriculture
In ?Washington, and once a trustee of
Clemson,, made a humorous and elo
quent response, and W. M. Roaobor
ough, representing the more recent
students, made a short, earneat, and
finished address.
' These exercises were followed by a
brilliant display of fireworks under
tho direction of Profesaors Howard
and Freeman, and then a dance at
tended by Professor Birch. -
After the chapel exercises Sunday
'<\~r. tiiiiK. the old .students began call
ing on the facnltf' for speeches. Each
of tho five oldest mombers of the fac
ulty was greeted with a perfect storm
of applause. Dr. Sloan said. Boys, you
know men and this touched his Ik/ rt
and waved his hand at the boys. They
understood, and many a cheek was wet
with tears. "Daddy," "Daddy."
"Daddy" rang out- from etery throat,
S?d Professor Furman responded as
only he can, humorously and tendeHy
reciting hits of local' traditions. "Jo
jo," yolled the. crowd, and Professor
W. S. Morrison reminded the boys
"Empty wagons tnako the ' loudest
noises." and followed with a string of
sky.?for which he Is famous. The boys
w o convulsed with laughter, and
Profo.ror Morrison made a decided
hit; Colonel Handln was called for and
received an ovation. Dr. Brackett, the
youngest of the old regime, made a
witty speech, beginning with one of
his famous sayings "Boys, turn off the !
gaV
Then the next generation of the fac
ulty were called on as follows, each
rocking short speeches that were well
received: D. W Daniel. S. M. Martin.
R. E. Lee, F.-H. Hi Calhoun, J. N.
Harper, Kale Houston, and David
Henry. Others were called for, but
President Itiggs stated that there was
another number on the program and
that tho meeting would have to close.
Everybody was struck with the mani
festation of genuine love shown for
tho faculty, and that body was as
happy as could be.

farms yesterday, among these being
tho plantations ot Bert McCulley, J.
J. Martin, John T. Bolt and Fred F.
Martin. OU his visit to the first two
farms named, Prof. Thomas found but
few of the caterpillars but at the last
two he found that the situation was
aericuB. . '
Mr. Rothrock said that from what
he can see, the caterpillars are stick
ing to the rain belt or that section of
tho county where rain has fallen the
most during the'last few weeks. So
far as he knowG the caterpillars have
not touched the sections where it has
I been hot and dry.

I d?rson in this question that yesterday
j dozens of telephone calls were recelv
I ed in this city from farmers in all

and . angea to the resting or pupa;
