As the train was nearing Hookter's trestle the speed of the H train was slacked to six miles an hour and Duncan went out on the left ot (he engine to oil the valves on Ins side of the engine. ^ This is not an unusual tiling for a fireman to do, Duncan having oiled the engine atSkylnnd when the train was going at a speed of thirty five miles an hour. After a short while Engineer Hunter thought that ins tireman was tak ing an usually long time and asked Engineer Will Green, who was on the engine with him, if he saw Duncan on the other side.

Mr Allen is working on a sys /1L tematic plan to increase the en- ^ dowment of Furman by $100,000 ^|v before December 1st. The plan' . . . w< is otic of Ins o v\ 11 origination, and & ' riF when he proposed it the trustees mj requested him to take the field j0 and put if into execution. This fo necessitated the giving up of his re pastorate, but lie accepted and a tor eight months has been eugag- bii ed in this work, and has met with co satislactory success so far as he has been able to go. The plan is to secure 100 sub scriplions of $250 eacli, payable j 111 five annual installments, be- ra ginning December 1st, this year. ^ Unless the 100 subscriptions are BV secured by December 1st none ot ed them are valid, under the terms (le of subscription, and each of them is to bo approved .as "good" by 1?< some bank or banker ot the sub- 00 scriber's community. Mr. Allen lias been over the eastern and tri southern portion of the State, . . , , uti but has not yet visited the upper section. lie stated yesterday Qn that ho had one third or more ot m. the amount desired, and if he etl could cover the territory in the ar time limit set ho would secure by the whole amount, without iliffi- in cult.y # th Mr. Allen says that inhistrav- "u els over South Carolina he finds en that education is tno great and m< ta general thought of the day, that there are evidences of a forward W( movement which means the ad- r vanceinent and strengthening of 0jall educational agencies, State and denominational and ho feels vvi that this proposed addition to wi Furman's financial equipment no is on!}* a part of a great move met. Furmau university, while P'1 an institution of fine accomplish- mi ments and record, now stands ^ in need of money to progres and advance. In other respectss the .. prospects for the university is most promising. In the new Cll president, Dr. E. M.

Dr. Poteat, sci who is now pastor of a large P11 Baptist church in Philadelphia, 0 will not assume his new duties until the fall, but Furiaau will leu open next month with its already ?ei 1 nij strong faculty and a large attendance of students. su Mr. Allen will spend several so' days in Columbia ami after loav- j)r ing here will go into the "ridge bl< country," where Furman has P0 always had a strong hold, lie has consented to preach for the I u. , .
