Admission Co Clemson.

The Greenville News says that on
account OF the very large number of
applications for admission into Clemson
college at the next session, many more
than the college can possibly receive, a
great many persons interested, both
parents and students, are constantly
making Inquiries as to what methods
will be adopted to determine which
ones will be admitted. The board of
trustees have adopted several rules
egulating the governing the admission
OF students. All young men will be
required to stand examinations as at
colleges. They will also be required to
stand physical examinations, and such
as have contagious diseases and who
are physically unable to fulfill the du-
ties required of them will not be ad,
mltted. Applicants who are qualified
to enter the college proper will have
precedence over those applying for ad-
mission into the preparatory depart.
ment. According to the best intorma-
tlon obtainable about three hundred of
the old students will return. They, of
course, being already in tho college,
will not be disturbed. The board has
not yet decided how many students
VIII be admitted at the next term, but
there Will be room for two or three
hundred new ones In addition to those
already there. 1t is their purpose to
distribute admission to the college In
the counties in proportion to their
representation in the lower branch OF
the legislature. Therefore any county
which has its quota In the students al.
ready In the college will not be entitled
; to any additional students until the ap
plicants Of those counties which have
not their quota has been fully supplied
Then again 1t would be Impossible tt

one night 9t the college when they
have gone there to be examined. The
board has therefore decided to have
examinations conducted in the coun
ties of the State which will be presided
over by one Of tho professors of Glenn.

each place and the successful appli

complete from end to end the red letters
for the characters in the pays are only
partly filled in. Where they are not filled

men called upon her. DR.. Sheeler was
recalled, and said that ne had found a
quantity of sugar in the stomach, much

the bitterness of the strychnine. The
Doctor said the case showed strychnine
poisoning.

Miss Lulu Childs, the young lady
whom Moore was about to marry, testl-
fed that Moore told her he could not

thusfasm.

The Good Government Club met last
night at Arcanum Hall. The meeting
was to have been in the interests of
good roads, and several speakers had
been secured, but the disagreeable
weather kept away both speakers and
members, so after a few resolutions
were offered the meeting adjourned I'M
til next Wednesday evening, when the
subject of Good Roads" will be the
chief topic of discussion.
Mr.. N. G.. Vreeland offered two reso-
lutions, which have already been pub
lished in 1.-THE Jersey City News" The
first was that the attention of the Street
and Water Board be called to the me-
cessity of placing signs on the street
corners. and of REMEMBERING the streets.
IF was referred to the Committee on
Public Works. The other resolution was
that asphalt roads be built from the
Pennsylvania and Erie ferries to the
Boulevard.
