Many of there people, I am satisfied, merely are laborers, who come here in the guise of students, j Proposed regulations and laws will be drafted in an effort to restrict this sort of immigration.

This smuggling applies not only to undesirable people, but to opium and perhaps to other articles. I expect to recommend that provision be made for a more rifiid patrol of both borders than we ever have had." Commissioner Caminetti probably will recommend that an extensive patrol force be established on the Northern border, from the Cascade mountains to the ocean, and on the Southern border from Arizona to the sen It will bo his effort to cooperate with tbe custms servico on both borders, not only to prevent smug? gling of immigrants, but of opium.

Puss Christian, Miss., Jan. 7.?Pres? ident Wilson worked away on a mass of letters and documents today, put? ting in much of his time considering the personnel of the federal reserve board soon to be selected by him. Not? withstanding the understanding among members of congress that they will maku no recommendations to the president for members of :he board, many other persons have written the executive. It is not believed that Mr. Wilson has yet gone beyond the draft? ing of a tentative list, which he will go over with his cabinet in Washing? ton before making llnal selections. The president is doing more work each day. He told Representative Harrison of this district, who chat? ted with him at the golf links today, thut he felt better than ever, and ex? pected to go back to Washington greatly benefited by his vacation here. As Mr. Wilson rode back to his cot? tage after the golf game, school chil? dren lined up along the road and fluttered little American Hags. The president ordered his motor to slow down, and waved his cap to the chil? dren. Of the many invitations that have been extended the president during his visit here, principally for recep? tions and entertainments, he has de? clined all but one. This came today from Gulfport Vol? unteer Hook and Ladder company No. 1. It invited Mr. Wilson to become nn honorary member of the company. in view of his distinguished services In saving the home of Judge Neville from destruction by lire two weeks ago. The preedent wrote Alfred Stock dale, secretary of the lire company, the following letter of acceptance: "It will give me great pleasure to accept honorary membership h* the Gulfport Volunteer Hook and Ladder company No, 1, and 1 thank the com? pany which so kindly elected me, Will you nol express to them my apprecia? tion " GOING TO WF.ST INDIES.

Gathering in Columbia on Pounder*' Day Will be Interesting Event. Columbia) Jan. G.?One <d the most important features of Founders' Day, which will bo celebrated at the Uni? versity of South Carolina cm January 15, will be the meeting of the general Alumni Association. These annual meetings arc looked forward to with I interest not only because they af ' ford opportunities for U?e renewal of J old friendships, but because of the Substantial work which the alumni are doing for education. The alumni i loan fund now amounts to more than $10,000 and is being used for the j aid of a large number of young men who are seeking an education. The How ing circular letter has been sent out to the alumni: Dear Fellow Alumnus. The annual meeting of the General Alumni Asso | elation of the University of South Car- j ? olina is called fcr Thursday, January I 16, at 12 M. The meeting will be I hcUl in the lecture room of LoConte College. January 16 has been set aside' as Founders* Day and will be cele? brated with appropriate exercises. In the afternoon Prof. Charles R.! Raper, of the University of North j Carolina, will speak and in the even? ing an address will be delivered by President George H. Deny, of the' University of Alabama. F.oth of these men have attained to eminence in their respective fields and will deliv I er notable addresses. The success <>f the day will depend largely up-, I on the attendance of the alumni. Will j you not make it a point to be pros I ent and thus show your loyalty to your alma mater 7 If a local chapter has not already been organized in your county, will j you not at once get in touch with oth-' er alumni from your county, organise and send as many representatives as possible to the general meeting on the 15th? A number of counties have al? ready held enthusiastic meetings, and I feel sure that yours will fall in line | if you will only bring the matter to j the attention of your fellow alumni. The University has been making rapid progress in the last few years. I but if it is to fully realize the possi- j bilites of its services to the State the alumni must rally enthusiastically to Iis support. The annual meetings of the Alumni Association have proved a great help and inspiration to those WhO are actively concerned w ith dl-! rooting the affairs of the Institution, and it is hoped that you will lend your assistance in making this meetng one of the best yet held. Cordially yours, A. C. Moore. Secretary and Treasurer. Saw Surgeons Remvoe Appendix.
