seventy GRADUATES At CLEMSON.
DIPLOMAS AWARDED At CLOSING ExER.
CiSEs LAST WEEK.


Clemson College, June 1.-THE
climax of commencement at Clemson
College was reached this morning
when the graduating exercises were
held in the spacious auditorium in
Memorial Hall before an audience
that crowded it to it's utmost capa-
city. The graduating GLASS was COM
posed of 70 of as fine looking young
men as ever went out from the insti.
tuition with its degrees. The stage
was beautifully decorated for the oc-
casion and the weather was most
auspioious. Seated on the platform
were Governor Ansel, DR.. J. H.
Kirkland, chancellor of Vanderbilt
University, the officers and teachers
of the college, members of the board
of trustees, alumni and other visitors.
The exercises of the morning were
opened with prayer, after which the
Hon. r. w. Simpson, chairman of
the board of trustees, introduced
Governor Ansel, who in turn, in a
brief but graceful speech, introduced
Chancellor Kirkland, the orator of the
day. DR.. Kirkland delivered one of
the most profound and eloquent ad-
dresses ever heard at Clemson. 1t
was delivered with great fiuency and
commanded the greatest attention
from the audience. His voice carried
without effort to every part of the
auditorium and no one present had
the slightest difficulty in hearing
every word uttered by the distin-
guished speaker, who is a former
South Carolinian.
The speaker expressed his gratif-
cation at being in his native State
again, and particularly on that occa-
sion. He said his life work 80 far
had been among college men and he
always felt glad of an opportunity of
addressing them, for college students
are always anxious to grasp the
truth, and seed cannot be sown bet
ter than among them. He said tha:
the theme of his discourse was sug-
gested by the great development the
South is experiencing and its relation
to the colleges and universities of
the South. He said that the natural
resources of the South, which are be-
ing developed with such wonderful
rapidity, would be useless unless there
be an intelligent, educated class of
men to control them.
At the conclusion of the address
by DR.. Kirkland original orations
were delivered by Messrs. D. B.
Peurifoy and X. G. Clark, of the
graduating class, the formers subject
being "The National Curse or
"Child Labor" and that of the latter
"Compulsory Education"
Following this the graduates we're
called to the rostrum and presented
with their diplomas by President
Nell.
Clemson College has enjoyed
year of great prosperity and DR.. Nell
and Col. Simpson, chairman of the
board of trustees, both pronounced
it the best year the college has ever
had. No designations have 80 far
been handed in by members of the
faculty, and it is expected that the
same teaching corps will be in charge
next year.
Accommodation will be made for
large number of additional students
in the handsome new barracks build
ing, which will be completed by
September, and will be an ornament
to the already excellent and thor
oughly equipped plant which is now
located here.

senator JOHN |. MORGAN DEAD.
VENERABLE STATESMAN PASSED AWAY.
OLDEST UNITED STATES SENATOR.

VENERABLE STATESMAN PASSED AWAY.
OLDEST UNITED STATES SENATOR.
United States Senator John Tyler
Morgan, of Alabama, died in Wash
ington Tuesday evening, June II, at
Ills O'Clock.
John Tyler Morgan was born in
Athens, Tenn, June 20, 1894, and
was the oldest member of the Unite
States Senate in point of years, with
the single exception of his fellow
Senator from Alabama, Edmund w.
Pettus. He had represented the
State of Alabama in the United
States Senate since 1877, having
been unanimously elected to his sixth
term in 1907.
With his parents he removed from
his native State of Tennessee to Ala
bama when nine years of age, and it
was in Alabama that he received his
education. He read law and was ad.
mitted to the Bar in 1845. He en-
gagged actively in the practice until
elected to the Senate.
In 1860 Senator Morgan was
Presidential elector and voted for
Breckinridge and Lane. He was
member of the Secession Convention
of 1851 from Dallis county and voted
for the ordinance of secession.
II May, 1881, he enlisted as pri.
vate in the Confederate army. He
was member of Company 1, Ca
tawba Rifles, 9th Alabama Regiment,
in the command of Col. Robert E.
Rodes. Senator Morgan was later
chosen major in the 9Th Alabama and
afterwards lieutenant colonel. In
1862 he was promoted 10 colonel and
raised the 51st Alabama. He was
appointed brigadier general in 1868
and assigned to duties in Virginia.
After the war Senator Morgan re-
sumed the practice of law at Selma.
In 1876 he was chosen as Presi-
Dental elector and voted for Tilden
and Hendricks. He was later made
a member of the commission to pre-
pare system of laws for the Ha-
waiian Islands.
Senator Morgan was elected to the
United States Senate to succeed
George Goldthwaite, Democrat, and
took his seat March s, 1877. He was
reelected in 1882, in 1888, 1894,
1900 and 1907.
Besides the Hawaiian laws COM
mission, Senator Morgan served eff
oiently as member of the arbitra-
tion commission on Bering Sea fish
cries, to which he was appointed by
President Harrison in 1892.
AS member of the upper branch
of the National Legislative Assembly
for thirty years, Senator Morgan was
naturally among its most conspicu-
GUS members. He took a leading
part in many important debates and
his counsel was always sought by the
Democratic party on all important
legislative matters.
Though successful in his law prac-
tice and in public life for many years,
Senator Morgan was comparatively
poor man, and for years had de-
pended almost wholly upon his salary
as Senator. On the subject of MAX
ing money Senator Morgan held
views different from those of most
men in public life at the present
time. He wrote many articles for
leading magazines and newspapers,
matter for which the periodicals
would have been glad to pay hand
somely, but Senator Morgan invaria.
bly, refused any compensation. He
likewise refused to receive any finan-
cial returns from the lectures or pub
lie addresses that he delivered.

Successful Truckers.

Salter & Starmont who came here
from Tampa, two years ago, closed
a successful trucking season We'd
nesday.
They have been gardening on four
acres of muck land belonging to
Mayor Northrup, lying alongside the
railroad tract, west Of the city. The
latter part of last August they pre-
pared the land, and early in the win
ter began marketing their products
All Of the land raised two crops,
and some Of it three crops of vege-
tables.
They had a half acre in straw
berries and from this gathered 5000
quarts, which netted them 5000.
All Of the products found a ready
market in St: Petersburg except $15o
worth Of celery which was shipped
North
The gentlemen cleaned up $1,000 for
the season, and are highly gratifed
with their first years work.
Next season they will increase their
strawberry acreage, and go in more
extensively On celery--the Nye Pack
ing House contracting to buy all cele-
ry that is not in demand loca1ly.-St
Petersburg Independent

The Best Florida News.

The best news getting into the
Florida papers these days is that
which tells about the rich returns from
the truck crops. The Hastings Sec
ton, for instance, has harvested and
marketed at good prices 10000 bar
rels of potatoes, and G. H. Kennerly,
of Palatka, made a net profit of $500
on less than one acre in celery. He
made $3.50 per acre on beets, two
crops on the same land each year,
and On lettuce and tomatoes he has
also made large profits. These are
but typical instances from all over
the trucking belt
If the Lord has built man so that
he has a reasonable amount of brains
and he doesn't sit down in helpless
collapse before the practical problems
OF life, there is no reason why he
shouldn't dig his independence out of
Florida soil in very few years. But
he won't do it farming along the old
lines. He's got to read up on the
literature of the subject, post himself
on new methods and learn how to do
some sure-enough thinking as tiller
of the soil before he can realize on
the opportunities of the new agricul-
tural era now opening up in this state
Investigation will doubtless show that
all of these many citizens of Florida
who are every year making handsome
profits at truck and fruit farming, are
we'll informed men who make a
special study of their business, keep
their minds open for new facts, are
bound to no fixed system and are
always experimenting with view to
mprovement.-Live Oak Democrat.

Millions of Pounds of Fish.

The spring fishing season closed
last Saturday and all Our fishermen
and the dealers are observing the law
and taking a rest. The season was
up to the average in the amount Of
the catch and the financial returns,
and all concerned are we'll pleased.
Since Jonuary first and up to the
close, the shipments from this port
amounted to eighty-six carloads in
bulk and 4,8o4 barrels. For the fall
season preceding, which began Aug.
18th and closed Nov. 18th, 1906, the
shipments amounted to I25 carloads
in bulk and 2,582 barrels Adding
these shipments, the total for the fish
ing year Of eight months included
within the dates, Aug. 18th, 1906 and
June 18th, 1907, amounts to I'll car
loads and 1886 barrels
AS each carload contains $4,000
pounds net (some few have contained
as much as 28,ooo) and each barrel
200 pounds, it follows that the total
shipments of fish from this port for
the fishing year just closed aggregate
6,54I, 200 pounds. This is up to the
average

the railroad books and are not guess

The Florida Orange Growers
Company.

A meeting of representative orange
growers was held at Tampa on Thurs
day of last week, when an organiza-
ton was partially perfected under the
above name. Mr.. E. F. Sperry, of
Orlando, was elected president, and
Mr.. E. S. Anderson, of Auburndale,
secretary, and a committee appointed
to preptlre a charter and perfect the
organization. The capital stock is to
consist Of $4,000 divided into shares
of S. each
The purposes of the organization
were explained by Mr. J. Warn, Of
Bradentown, who declared that
though other industries had organized
for their mutual protection and ad-
vancement, the orange growers Of
Florida were without proper combina-
ton and he urged them to come to-
gether on the matter, though they are
Democrats, Republicans or of other
parties. Perfect an organization, call
it what you may, trust, if please to
so name it, but so effective that it
will protect the growers from TN Just
competition, commission mems op-
pressions, railroad overcharges and
delays, and the kindred ills which the
orange growers of Florida have ever
suffered. He claimed that if the grow
ers would unite in a stock company
or corporation with even a goodly
sized minority of the orange men in
it at the beginning, it would prove Of
vast benefit to the grove owners and
soon enlist the entire orange growing
interest of the state into SO effective
an organization as to protect it and
market the crop with profit.

Manatee Vegetables.

Forty-four thousand, eight hundred
and twenty-four crates of vegetables
or I4o solid cars.
That's the number of crates shipped
from Manatee in ninety days, or from
February Ist to April &c.
Of this number, 34,824 crates were
shipped over the Seaboard, while TO-
900 crates went forward by the boats,
At least three-fourths of the above
was celery, which shows the extent
our truckers are raising this tooth
some vegetable Had it not been for
the drouth doubtless the above figures
would have been almost doubled.
Estimating conservatively, that the
44,824 crates shipped netted the grow
ers an average of $I.5o per crate, it
would mean $67,436.oo put in the
pockets of the truck growers Of

which with the artesian wells make it
an ideal spot. Land has gone up to

The editor while waiting for con-

town to the ST. Johns River, three
miles east of the city. Along this
avenue he saw the possibilities of a
vast vegetable garden covering thou
sands of acres and under the hands
