CLKMSON COLLEGE LETTER,

?Boys at Cl<*m.son.
Clemson, Sept. 25.?In the history
of Clemson College the session just
opening promises to he the greatest,
owr M)0 students were enrolled and.
after standing examinations nearly
that number are still here. the new
course, known as The Work-Hoy
Course, which enables a boy to work
and attend classes alternate weeks is
proving very popular. Twenty-seven
boys are now pursuing this course.
Great improvements have been !
made during the summer to the col- |
lege rroperty. In addition to the im?
provements of barracks the new
dalrv building has been completed
an? equipped, two large concrete silos
have been built.'and the farm barns!
are now under construction.
The encampment at the State Fair
will rest largely with the boys. If
the> want to go the trip Is virtually
assured. The decision will he made
by ths president of the board of trus?
tee and the president of the college.
We have a larger number of boys
than usual from Sumter county. They
are: H. C. Moses. F. M. Dwight, J.
A. Mc<Mure, L. LeGrand. W. D. Ryan,
V. P. Corbett. B. M. Sanders. J. D.
Jones. J. Richardson P. M. Pitts. Jr.,

J. M. Workman.
Knowing of the wide-spread trou?
ble that th^ Fungus Boll Rot is caus?
ing in the State. Prof. H. W. Barre of
the Experiment station corps, has
given out the following article on the
subject:
Inuring the past f*w years cotton
anthrancnose has spread all over
South Carolina. It is now causing
great annual loss to the cotton grow?
ers. I have just returned from a trip
through several badly infected sec?
tions of the State and find that this
disease seems to be causing greater
loss than ever before.
During the past two years we have
been conducting a careful Investiga?
tion of this disease and studying the
life history of the fungus which
causes It. As a result of the investi?
gation we are now able to control the
disease.
Anthrancnose first appears on the
entstehe of the boH as a small dark tri j
pnrpl)*h colored spot. This spot ;
gradually Increases in sire until the
satire hall is ejfeetett? if sueh boiia
ha cut open the inside is found to
SS discolored and xottcn.
We have found In our Investigation
here that the fungus which causes
the disease grows in the seed. Seed
taken from bolls which were slightly
diseased were found to have the fllla
menta and spores of the fungus in
Ihem. and where such seed were
planted diseased plants were found
to develop from them. On such dis?
eased plants the majority of the bolls
were diseased. We also found when
we picked cotton from healthy stalks
and planted the seed from these on
land which had not been in cotton
the previous year we had no an
thracnose. The investigation further
showed that under ordinary condi?
tions the fungus does not live in the
old diseased bolls and stalks for more
than one year. All this shows, then,
that by using seed which are free
from disease and practicing a one
year's rotation we can g*t rid of an
thracnose. This has been demon?
strated in tht fields on the experi?
ment station during the past two
Jasons and is being further demon?
strated on a number of farms
throughout the State this season.
toother important fact brought
OUt in this investigation Is that a
great many farmers are bringing the
disease into their places in seed

the disease on his place. Ar.thraeno.v*
la a tad disease hut it can hi easily
controlled by following th? treat?
ment outlined above. We :ru?t that
every plantet in South Carolina will
keep this In mind when he goes to
pich his cotton and when he plans
for his planting next season.

Neu York. Sept. 16.?A storm

The anxiety over falling prices
and the uncertainty in regard to the

that Wall street would find the pe?

finite indications were obtained as to
the outcome of enforcement of the

Further selling by investors who
feared disintegration of large cor?

Th? fall tn prices of stocks now

FOOTBALL TEAM AT WORK.
BOYS EXPECT TO PUT OUT A
STRONG ELEVEN THIS
SEASON.
Number of Old Boys arc Trying for
Places on the Team, While Scrub?
of Last Benson und New Material
Arc Working Hard.
The Sumter High School foot hall
?quad is working every afternoon
now and it is expected that the school
I
will this season put out as strong and j
fast a team as any that has ever j
represented it.
There are a number of old boys out !
trying to make places on the team,'
while the scrubs of last year and thei
new material are putting in some I
hard licks at the same time to get on
the to xm themselves. While a num?
ber of the graduates of last May were
star members of the foot ball eleven
put forth lor 1910 by the high school
and these men will be sadly missed,
There is no lack of men on the foot
ball squad to fill the places left
vacant.
Among the men from last year's
team who are Wing tried out are. De
Lonne, John Hsynsworthi Reaves,
DuKant and Siddall and it is expect?
ed that Willie Burns, the big center
of last year's team, and Henley Owen
will be out in the next few days. Be?
sides these there are about a dozen
new men and members of last year's
squad who are rapidly being run into
shape.
The practice season commenced
last week, when the squad was test?
ed for the first time, and this wck
the team Is hard at work practicing
under the supervision of Dr. E. P.
DuRant, who has been secured to I
coach the team. Dr. DuRant Is an
old foot ball player and Is seeing to
It that the members of the team get
toughened up and hard before they
go into their first battle of the sea?
son.
So far no games have been ar?
ranged, but it 1? expected that some
will be arranged by next week. Sev?
eral teams have written here for
games and it is probable that the
team will have a good number of
teams to choose from as to whom they
will ko up against in their first grid
iron contest. It is probable that
some of the teams that games will
be arrangsd with are Sumter's old

order of the Governor, but that of
the charges, the most serious, were
unfounded in fact, for he says that
the men were never permitted to keep
their ?-.juipment at their homes, nor
had the company rolls ever been pad
1 r, or any but members of the regu?
lar organized militia ever been taken
on encampments or put in ranks at
inspection. The other charges might
be made against almost any militia
company, and that until there is
some regular pay for the service of
the men there la no use to expect to
get it. lie had been working hard
for the company and for the State
militia almost t^n years, as hard as
he could, sacrificing other Interests
for if. because he knew that Florence
ought to have a militia company and
needed one, but no one else would
take hold of it, and very few of the
men gave him anything like the sup?
port that they should have given.
He continued that if the Governor
kept on stripping him of offices of
honor and emolument he would soon
leave him with nothing to attend to
except his own business, and maybe
thru would be best after all.
When asked if he thought likely
that another company would be or?
