Clemson,s Bright Prospects.

CLEMSON, October 7.-Whon ono con-
sidors the political opposition to Clom-
son College as manifested during the
recent State campaign, and tho hard
times, tho magnificent opening this soa-
son 10 remarkable.
during the summer, and spent tho time
lccturing, corresponding, advertising and
soliciting. In this work he received val
uable assistance from many of tho pro
fossors. AS result tho president con-
fidontly looked for n largo attendance,
but tho enrolment has gOno fur beyond
his expectations.
BY actual count thore arc 391 cadets
now in daily attendance. This number
does not include those students who
were rejected in tho physical and mental
examinations. 1t should DO borno in
mind, too, that Clemson, unlike tho col
logos located in cities, has worry small
local patronage. With tho exception OF
n dozen or so local students, the sons OF
professors living on tho campus, tho
whole corps is boarding in tho barracks.
This puts Clemson far ahead of any
Othor white college in South Carolina in
point of attendance, and in that particu-
lar it ranks among tho first in tho whole
South. At this timo last year 25o stu;
dents were in attendance. Two hundred
and five now students have matriculated,
and ovory day adds to tho number. 1t is
especially gratifying tc oarn that fewor
of the old students 1--we remained at
homo this year than over before. Thore
arc moro now students hero now than
tho total number at other of tho other
colleges in the State.
President Hartzog has announced that
no has room now for only twcnty moro
cadets. Those who contemplate coming
to Clemson this year should como as
early as practicable to avoid disappoint-
mont.
AS a class tho now students aro woll
prepared. Thero arc q good many
matriculates from other Statos.
Tho schedule had boon prepared dur
ing tho vacation, and class work began
tho first day of school.
President Hartzog is endcavoring to
arouse an interest among tho students
on tho subjects of manual training in tho
public schools and nature study in tho
rural schools. IIo regards these as prob
Ions of great curront interest in tho cdu-
cational world. If these ideas arc
adopted tho dclnand for Clemson gradu-
ates as teachers will exceed tho supply.
1Io offers tho presidents medal this year
for tho best essay on.theso subjects.
With tho largest attendance since the
first year, with many improvements in
tho faculty, tho curriculum, tho buildings
and equipments, Clemson begins her
seventh session under worry encouraging

Auspiclous Opening OF Newberry
College,

NEwnERHY, S. c., October 7.-Tho
fall session of Nowborry College shows
moro students present than ut any open
ing day tho institution has had since it's
foundation. There are 150 studonts on
rolled, against 40 present at tho bogin-
ming of tho session of 1807-OS, when pros
poets woro considered splendid. But tho
enrolment this year is oven bottor. This
auspicious occasion was celebrated in
the collogo chapel on Wednesday by
suitable exercises and addresses of seve-
raj prominent Newhorrians. Tho pas
tors Of tho various churches in the city,
tho Rows. Fox, Williamson, Wright, Nc
Clintock, Creighton, and also Associate
Justice Pope spoke words of encourage
mont to tho students, followed by tho
President, Prof. George B. Cromer, un-
der whose able administration tho insti-
tuition is making steady progross. Ono
Of tho remarkable features of this large
enrolment Is that as denomination col
logo it has q constituency of about 10000
that it can reasonably draw on for sup
port. When compared to similar insti-
tutions this remarkable fcrturo about
Nowberry College can be distinctly OBJ
served.

Anderson Advocate Tho namo of
Samuel Maverick was we'll known to all

and whom ho died he set aside fourteen

from Pendloton, and the traveller from
Pondleton can 500 to the right of tho
road, as he drives along, tho marble
shaft that marks tho resting place of
Samuel Maverick. There arc five other
graves thoro, ono Of which is the gravo
of Samuel VanWyck, tho first Boldior
killed IN our civil war, or ono of tho first,
near Guthrieville, KY. IIo was grand
of Mr.. o. B. VanWyck, of this city. His
grave was opened somo fifteen yenrs ago
and tho body was found in m excellont
state of preservation, tho bullet wound
showing in his breast and tho blood
stains on his shirt Ono curious thing
was that his board had grown since ho
was buried. Thero Is no will or any
Other document in existence showing
Mr. Mavericks intention to reserve tho
fourteen acres acre for graveyard. 1t is
only tradition. Now comes tho sequel.
Wo havo q Sinking Fund Commission in
this State and it i'd tho duty of it's agent,
Col. Gibbcs, to hunt up abandoned lands
and place thom on tho tax books, and ho
has discovered this land, and tho question
has been reforred to tho Attorney Gene
raj as to whother all of this land but n
sufliciency for graveyard should not
be sold and put on tho tax, books. 1t
has never been used for public burying
ground. Tho News and Courier, from
W tnfn
about tho Sinking Fund Commission,
says that tho mother of the present
Mayor OF Nav 7 Yori was buried thorc
and subsequently removed to Anderson.
This is a mistake. Mrs. VanWyck ia
buried in Woodlawn Comotefy,,Ein Now
York, and tho body of her husband, Sam
uol VanWyck, Sr., was taken up here
somo years ago and placed by T6Ir side.
And, further, the body Of Samuel Van
Wyck, tho soldier, has been removed
from tho Maverick burying ground to
this city.
