SCHEDULE CLASH
President Holland to Have One OF

Meeting.

Entrusted to- Him by

President Holland, of the Three
| Eye league. has serious doubts of the
ability Of Frank Lander, Of Rockford,
20 prepare n schedule in time for the
Chicago meeting Feb. Q.
The letter Of inquiry recently re-
ceivei from Lander led Holland to be-
lieve that the Rockford expert had
been delayed in his undertaking and
that he might not be able to present
substitute order Of games. In case
this should be 50 Holland will present
his own schedule with proper revis-
ions.
1t VIII be remembered Rockford OBJ
iected to the schedule submitted by
President Holland mt the December
meeting. In order to satisfy the COM
plaiHant, the league voted to have
Lander prepare Il substitute, and if he
was successful in framing one that
gave greater satisfaction it would be
accepted.
Mr.. Hollands schedule was prepar-
ed by himself and Secretary Thumler.
but owing TO the brief time consum-
ed i'm it's preparation there was an
uneven distribution of Sunday games.
Mr.. Holland has decided that he will.
make such reyisions during the pres
ent week. putting each team on the
grounds Of all the other clubs at
least one Sunday during the season.
providing that he can do this without
sacrificing mileage unnecessarily. He
will have the revised schedule on hand
at the February meeting. and in case
Lander fails to submit one of his own
or one not so satisfactory as that of
Holland, he will not leave the league
in the lurch.

State College Expanding.


There is a growing sentiment at the
South Carolina college to restrict the
age of admission of students to 10. The
minimum age is now Is, but 1t Is
thought with the Better advantages Of
fered in recent years by the schools
of the State there is no good reason 10
encourage a young man to leave home
before he is 16. 1t is argued that this
raising of the age requirement is espe-
cially a proper move on the part OF the
South Carolina college, whether or not
it should be followed by other colleges
in this State, since the South Caro-
lima college should seek more and more
TO raise its standards and develop into
a university of recognized leadership
and headship in the State. The most
practical way to raise the standard IS
to raise the age Of admission and,
with mature students, accomplish more
work each year.
AS some progress towards the uni
versity idea, it may be noted that the
South Carolina college has already de-.
veloped two professional schools OF ac-
knowledged standing, the law school
and the normal school. The enrolment
in the former during the last session
was "a, in the latter 3S, besides ten
teachers who took the short spring
course. This shorter course for teachers
begins each year about the first OF
April and is designed specially to meet
sther erneedss ss,ofs teach herss Of hort term m
schools who will avail themselves of
six weeks or two months OF college
work.

A New IsotherInal Map.

Commissioner Watson, with the as
s;stance of Section Director Bauer Of
the weather bureau, has prepared the
first thermal map Of the State ever
published. The map shows the mean
temperature of the entire State, which
is divided into three sections. The
map when compared with California,
the great fruit growing State, shows
the superiority of this State in the
fruit growing section. Several years
ago California had a map of this kind
printed and used among the northern
capitalists with the result that thou
sands of dollars were brought into the
State and invested not only by the
fruit growers but by truck farmers and
others interested in planting.
In California there is only one sec
ton of the State in the same class with
this State, and that is small area
around Los Angeles. The figures are as
follows: Annual mean for entire State,
CO; lowest. Greenville, So; highest,
Beaufort, CT; annual mean for spring,
CO; annual mean for summer, 70; an
Iual mean for autumn, 65; annual
mean for winter, 46. Several thousand
of these maps will be printed and used
in the north.

Carlo Williams, a negro of Lake City,
killed Thurston MCGEE of the same
place in the court at Kingstree. About
eight men, armed and disguised,
boarded and searched the local passen-
ger train passing Scranton at 1907
o'clock and found the prisoner. TEey
suspected he was being taken to Flor
ence. The men held consultation and
about eight men were stationed at the
cattle pen at the north end Of the de-
pot. One of the mob tagged the lin
tied train, No. 81. Then about eight
men, armed and disguised, boarded the
sleeping car. The conductor shouted
from the door that there was nobody
In there and themob searched the whole
train and took the negro from the
sheriff in the day coach. They then put
the negro in buggy and with fiendish
shouts made for the woods. Not single
shot was fired. The party who boarded
the train were all disguised. The agent
at Scranton lett the depot a few min
utes before the limited arrival and re-
turned after the train was brought to
a standstiIl. He left, he says, to avoid
being compelled to flag the train. The
mob was in town 45 minutes before the
arrival Of the first train.

ficials here are satisfied from their pri-
vate advices that the recent visit Of
King Edward to his nephew, Emperor
William, was not brought about by a
purpose to initiate movement toward
the restoration Of peace between Rus
sia and Japan, there is reason to be-
lieve that some very careful and dis
Greet inquiries as to the opportunities
of some such overtures at this time
have emanated from Washington. 1t
may be stated that the result has been

lana Purchase Exposition.
The available cash, June 80, 1904,
