The Pendleton Farmers Society is
now taking steps to enlarge its mem-
bership for the purpose of putting
new life in the society and publish
ling new edition of it's old history
i that was published in 1920, and add
ing thereto the history of the work

quires it, all new members will have
to pay fee of 81, which will be
about the cost of copy of the new

finances Of the society may warrant
its. voting a copy of its history to
each member on the rolls that is
marked paid.
At our last meeting-14th of Feb
ruary--we enrolled the names of 81
new members, and we desire about
rs more new names upon our roll to

If any of your ancestors or friends
are on our rolls from 1915 to 1920,

farmers and other occupations that
will come forward at once and do
honor to their ancestors, themselves,
and this old and honorable society
by placing your name on its rolls in

Inflrrnary. The same year St Luke's Hall was erected to serve as the domieile of the theological department. An exquisite chapel for the theological department 's approaching completion upon an adjoin- ing site. In 1Ss7-S a building was erected to serve as a gymnasium and convocation hall. To this building is attached Breslin tower, modelled after the famous Mazda len tower, Oxford. This is now provided with the Westminster chimes and Bres- lin tower is a characteristic feature of the university architecture. In 1900 the build ing was converted into a library, and is one of the finest college libraries in the south.
 Thompson Hall was erected in 1883, and is now occupied by the medical depart ment. Walsh Memorial Hall was erected in 1S93 and contains the administration offices and class rooms for the academic and law department. Hoffman Hall, be- ing the dormitory of the juniors, was erected in 1898. Quintard Memorial Hall, the dormitory of the Sewanee grammar school was erected Tn 1901 The new gym nasium, as planned, is to include all the modern appliances for physical training. The portion now completed is sufficient to serve the present demands. In 1863 the collection of money for a new university chapel began, and the walls of a new chapel modelled after Kings College chap tls t buildings are all of beautiful sandstone, quarried upon the domain. The architec- tural and landscape development of Se- vance is now under the supervision of a competent architect of New York, an alumnus of the university.
 The ideals of the university have been received from the great English univer- sties, and there are many customs seen at Sewanee that are unique. Although the class system is now fully inaugurated, the student body is still divided into jul niors and gownsmen and the latter wear academic dress-cap and gown. The chiet peculiarity of the university is that the long vacation occurs in the winter. The three terms are Lent (spnng), Trinity (summer) and Advent (autumn). The schools open the middle or March and close about the middle of December. The scholastic year begins with the Trinity term about the first of July.
 The Sewanee grammar school maintains it's military character which it has had from the beginning.
 The Alumni.
 In the thirty-eight years of the active operation of the University of the South as an educational institution it has had nearly five thousand matriculants in it's various departments During that time nearly twelve hundred degrees have been conferred, more than two hundred and eighty being in the academic depart ment. In view of the approaching cele- braton of the semi-centennial of the uni versity an effort is being made to get in touch with all the former students and to learn what their careers have been. The registrar Is engaged upon the stu pendous task of collating information for the publication of a complete roster of the

 Memorial services, celebration of lle holy communion in the old chapel, will be impressive occasions attended by stu dents in cap and gown. the college dons. the bishops.
 Interesting, too, will be the competitive drills at Hardee park, the oratorical con- tests, the class receptions, the com mencement bop and the usual exercises of commencement week, which never before in the long history of the university has been attended with such importance his- torieally.
 The entire programme is as follows;
 Thursday, June 20.

 Friday June 2l.

The number was increased to fourteen during the opening term.
 The growth of the university has been steady ever since, until it now numbers between five and six hundred students annually. and has about fifty professors and instructors upon its faculties In 1Si1 the academic department was differen- tated from the grammar school and was formally organized. Other departments were organized in about the following or der: Theological department, 1874; medi- cal. 1892: law, 1893. The academic depart ment has included school of engineering from the beginning, and the medical de- partment includes a school of pharmacy, and latterly training school for nurses, So that the university Is fully equipped for comforting the following degrees in course: B.A., M.

students. Enough information has been already collated to reveal the fact that Sewanee men are to be found in every state in the union and are occupying po- sitions of prominence ln church and state to an extraordinary degree. Five Se- vance men are in the Episcopate. Two of these are In the south. one on the Pa cific coast, one in a northern diocese, and one in Cuba. Alumni of the university are occupying positions of prominence in the church. north, east, south and west. and in the missior fields in Alaska, Cuba. Porto Rico and the Philippines. Many of the alumni are prominent In national politics The leader of the minority in the United States house of representa- lives is a Sewanee man, and Sewanee 's otherwise represented on the floor of the house. The legislatures of the. several southern states and some of the states north and west have been at various times in the past adorned by Sewanee men A number of our alumni have been seated upon our state judiciaries. have been candidates for gubernatorial honors, or have been attorney-generals for the state: while others occupy influential po- sitions at the bar of nearly every state In the union The medical profession throughout the country has some very distinguished representatives of Sewanee, besides those who have received thcir medical degree here. pr.

while the state is making up it's mind and whiting off constitutional disabili- ties the people will begin the work of building roads.
 A number of the counties have already acted individually and in others well-de- veloped campaigns have been started
 Some counties have adopted the plan of issuing bonds and others are levying spe- cial taxes.
 One of the latest counties of the state to act in the matter is Wilcox, which proposes a plan of taxation which is per haps the most unique in the state.
 At a meeting of the good roads commit tee named by a mass meeting at Camden a few days ago the following resolution was unanimously adopted:
 Resolved, That we indorse the action of the court of county commissioners n levying a special road tax; favor the use of the convict fund and one-fourth of the dispensary fund for the public road fund A tax on log carts of s1O each, log wagons or drays of $7.50 each and a ve- hicle tax of 50 cents each. The employ ment by the court of county commis- sioners of a civil engineer. The election by the people in 1908 of five road super visors and the division of the county into five road districts. To provide tor road tools and machinery and the pas sage of all bills to authorize the court of county commissioners to purchase fer ries on the Alabama river or establish new ferries.

Conuressman Hobson's Work.

Congressman Hobson could have no better indorsement of his educational work in the Sixth district than the rush that is now on among his colleagues Tor the credit of having originated the idea. Congressman Wiley of the Second district of Alabama is one of the latest claim ants to the honor
 When it was announced that Capta'l Hobson had planned to carry party or experts from the department of agricui- ture on a tour through his district the idea and the man were ridiculed by the press and people from the Penobscot to Puget sound. Those who said nothing smiled.
 When the undertaking proved an m stantaneous success congressman and con- stituents began to sit up and listen. NOW they are talking. The constituents arc wanting to know something and the con gressmen are either trying to claim orig inality for the idea or are getting busy to try to initiate the retired hero or the Merrimac
 But in the meantime Captain Hobson IS not worrying over these claims or orig inality. He is satisfied with the conscious ness of having done something and IS trying to do more for the practical good of his people. I am sure, however, unat he smiles to himself when he hears the
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-06-16

claims of his elders. He remembers that when he called at the department Of, az riculture and made his wants known that he was told that the i@ea was absolutely new and untried and that. it was such a big undertaking that the officials hesi- tated to try the experiment.
 Hobson's bulldog tenacity won in his plea for trial The experiment was a success. and now it Is announced that the department of agriculture is swamped with applications for educational tours, a Ia Hobson.
 The scramble of congressman for the tailboard of the band wagon is no wonder. Some of them are even on the sea. scramhling for the lines. But Captain Hobson IS serene in his security. He is on the mares back, so to speak, and IS guiding by the mane. He is not selfish, however. and wants the work he has begun in the Sixth district carried to every congressional district in the coun- try. But the other congressman must do something more than scramble for the honor of originating the idea if they want to secure even as much for their con- stituents as Hobson will get for his.

 Fifty Years History.
 These facts in the fifty years history of the university are culled from the bull letln giving a brief summary of the aims and purposes of the university. From that memorable time when a group of bishops and representatives from the southern dioceses discussed the wisdom of establishing classic university, through the stirring period of the sixties, on down to the present time the university has developed into the Oxford of the south, fulfilling the ideal to which bishops and laymen stood committed more than three quarters of century ago.
 The event of which the University oi the South proposes to celebrate the semi centennial was the meeting at Lookout Mountain, Tennessee, on the 4th 5th and 9th of July, 1857. of the bishops and cler- ical and lay representatives of nine south.
