Columbia Military Academy will
oner its doors on Wednesday, Sept
amber 8. for the fifth yearly term,
r,3er circumstances SO suspicious as
10 warrant the prediction that former
excellent records will be eclipsed. The
personnel of its operating force, as
given above, speaks volumes and in
sures the most capable instruction
to the youth of the land.
Already eighty boys have returned
the signed application blanks, and as
the applications 90 not come in until
after the beginning of August this
insures a crowded school. In fact 1t
is believed by the principals that
the capacity of the school, which
is one hundred and thirty boarding
pupils will be exceeded and that
nupils will have to be turned away.
Seven pupils applied for admission
on Friday and the daily average Of
aplicants will exceed this number
from now on. Scarcely any of the
old boys have been heard from, and
nearly all of them are coming back.
The students hail from all quarters
Of the compass, from seventeen states
and from three nations. The follow
ing states will send representatives:
Tennessee. Kentucky, Arkansas, Miss
otri. Texas, Oklahoma, Mississippi,
louisiana, Florida, Georgia, Alabama,
North Carolina, Pennsylvania, I'LL
nOis and New York. In addition
there will be pupils from Mexico and
Nicarauga. Among the latest to
matriculate is a son of J. B. Munter,
a wealthy wholesale dry goods mer-
chant of New York City, who thirty
years ago resided at Columbia, and
who still has a kindly feeling in his
heart for this city and state.
