ance at the College at this time, Presi-
dent Hardy stated that everything is
most satisfactory and gratifying, and
they are fully up to expectations. There
haying been considerable said to the
effect that trundle beds and nuseries,
almost; had been ransacked In order to
bring the attendance to anything like
good showing. President Hardy laugh
ed good naturedly. and statnd that the
attendance Of the "old boys" at the
opening this year was in excess Of that
for several years past, and as to this he
had the figures from Secretary Moore,
which bear out the statement. At the
opening of the 19O6-07 session there
were 43 per cent of the last years attend
ance; at 1907-08, A per cent, and 1905
O9, 60 per cent, which is better than it
has been for the past four or five years.
The enrolment now is between 700 and
500 and is not yet complete. In fact,
according to the conversation of Presi-
dent Hardy and others in position to
know, the outlook for this fine Mississip-
pi institution of learning was never bet
ter, and it is believed that the conditions
will be enhanced as time and terms rCll

who lives in Caldwell County,,
and who is known as General.
Each county has lodge, under
the immediate control of a capt
ain. For ordinary raids no au-
thority is needed except from the
captain, but for a general raid,
as on a town, or a city. the or
ders must come from the Gener-
al, and usually several lodges
are united for such raids.
The oath of the band is very
binding, and the penalty for
breaking the oath, or telling any
of the actions or secrets of the
band is to have your neck broke.
The witness stated that he had
joined the lodge for the express
purpose of exposing it.

be found on the right side of questions
pertaining to the welfare of the town,
county and state and the upbuilding of

purposes. Twelve sections were
