people take great pride. is the "Univer-

branches at Bangor. Aberystwyth and

the three colleges has full faculty and
is entirely independent of the others. All
three have equal rank. Degrees are con-
ferred upon the graduates in the name of
the university, the ceremonies occurring
alternately at each institution every three
years. The graduates of all three colleges
and the affiliated schools went to Cardiff
to receive their degrees this summer and
next year they will go to Aberystwyth.
There Is naturally good deal of rivalry
among the three institutions, which is a
healthful condition for all. They are con-

The following clipped from

that one of our home boys is
coming to the front:
''Dr. Eldred Davis, of EARRING
ton, who has been attending the
University at Nashville, Tenn.
for several years, has completed
his course with that institution
and graduated at he head of his
class with high honors.
As a mark of appreciation of
the splendid record he made dur
ing his course of study at the
university the faculty has select
ed him as lecturer aud he Will
serve in this capacity, giving
lectures to the students of the.
college on the diseases of women
and children. This is an unUsn-
al honor and it is the first tina,
that it has been done in the his
tory of the institution which is "a
high honor for the Darlington
man.
A remarkable coincidence vita
the graduation of DIR. Davis is
that his father and grandfather
graduated from the same school
with equal high honors, being at
the head Of their classes when.
they completed their studies at
this school.
DIR. DAVIS left Monday for
Philadelphia and other Eastern
cities. where he will take a post
graduate course and upon his re-
turn he will assume his duties at
the institution of which he has
been chosen as a member of the
faculty.
The many friends of this young
man have watched his career
with much interest during his
course at college, and are pleased
that he has gained such repO-
tation in the medical world
They trust that even better
things and more honors are
awaiting him in the future"

From the courier.Journal.,

The three men named by Gov.
Wilson yesterday are among
the most prominent citizens of
Kentucky, and will add much to
the gathering. The conference
will be held on May 10th, next,
by special invitation of Presi-
dent Theodore Roosevelt, and is
for the purpose of considering
what can be done toward the
conversation of the natural re-
sources of the country. The
conference is expected to be the
most important of its kind ever
held In this country, and those
who attend from the various
other states of the Union will
have a great responsibility. 1t
was for this reason that the pres
ident asked the governors of the
various states to select men of
influence and prominence in
their respective states.
The conference will be furn-
isLed with complete information
on all phases of the question by
the Forestry Bureau, which is
considered one of the best man
aged branches of the government
tai service. This insures that
the gathering will have much
food for thought and study of
the perlls of axe and fire.

would attend the conference and
