COLLEGE PRESIDENT
D|SuKES MILITARY
Resigns Because the Comm andants
Think They Have Authority Equal
to That of the Head of
the institution.

ANDERSON. s. c., Aug PA
meeting of the board of Clemson col
lege was called today to consider the
situation growing out of the resigna-
ton of Dr. p H. Nell as president of
the institution. 1t is thought that the
board will refuse to accept his resig-
nation
That military commandments, assign
ed to college duty by the war depart
ment, consider themselves equal in
authority to the college president or
above him was one of the reasons
given by DR.. Nell for his resignation.
DR.. Nell issued a statement in which
he said that lack of clearness in the
college rules prevented the military
commandments from realizing that they
were not under the college presidents
authority Other reasons for his resig-
nation We're frequent interference by
the trustees with the administration
of the presidents duties and their
selection of faculty members without
sufficiently regarding the presidents

News Of Bachman Chapel.

Slighs, Dec. 1.-With the excep-
ton Of colds and sore throat, the
general health Of the people Of this
section is very good at present.
I have been requested by one of
the trustees Of Johnstone Academy
to state that the entire board Of
trustees objected to any services be-
ing conducted in their school build
ing other than what is connected
with their school work. That they
were not personally opposed to Rev.
Anderson meeting any more SO than
others. The statement that I made
in my last letter was just as heard
it concerning this matser, and l am
not responsible for the mistake.
Mr.. and Mrs. ". ". Kinard, Of
near Backman Chapel, moved from
where they have lived for several
years to the "Fellers' Place. near
Prosperity this week. This place
has been recently vacated by Mr.. and
Mrs. L. I. Long, who moved to near
Newberry.
Miss Essie Wilson is spending
while with them.
Mr.. H. P. Baker, of Newberry,
who is travelling in the interest Of
the Pacific Mutual Life Insurance
Co., spent from Saturday until Tues
day Of this week N this community.
Mr.. and Mrs. S. A. Rikard, of
Long Lane, and part # their fam
lily spent last Saturday night and
Sunday at the home Of M. and
Mrs. T. J. Wilson. Two Of their
daughters are spending the week in
this community.
Rev. j. A. Sigh preached at
Bachman Chapel on last Sunday
morning from 103rd Psalm, 1 and 2.
He preached an excellent sermon to
a very good congregation. Rev.
Mr.. Sigh will continue to preach for
them until they make different ar,
l., There are few preachers Of his
age who are continuing to preach the
Gospel or who have served the same
church as long as Mr.. Sigh has
served st. Paul's, where he has
preached for about A years regu-
|iarly and he is still serving them as
their pastor. This is remarkably
good record.
The supper Of the "W. O. W..
Pomaria, which was served to the
members of Pomaris camp and their
wives, was indeed an enjoyable oc-
casion. The supper consisted Of
fresh oysters, turkey, fish and many
different kinds Of salads and pickles,
besides bread and coffee.
Music was furnished by some Of
the young men Of the New Hope
section, which added much to the oc-
casion.
New members are joining at al
most every meeting and it is hoped
that We will soon have as strong a
camp at Pomaria as anywhere else
around US. We now have about 100
members.

tion taking an old time "rabbit
hunt" [ think they realized more

game they killed. Son.

LUMBER YARDS
PACIFIC COMPANY PLANS BIG
CONCERN
SUPPLIES WILL Be STORED AT
WILMINGTON
Enclosure viii Be Equipped with
MonoraiI System and Is Exc
pected to Be Greatest
on the Coast

The Pacific Lumber company is PLAN
ming the establishment at Wilmington
harbor of the largest and best equipped
lumber yards on the Pacific coast
which will be as UP to date as any in
the world. 1t will be located on thirty
acres of land, for which long lease
negotiations are pending with the Salt
Lake road and the Consolidated Lum-
Der company, and will. have q capacity
of 10000, 900 feet of lumber more than
the largest yard now in Los Angeles
county.
1.-The yards will be equipped with the
monorail system, operated by electric
power, and the second of the kind in
existence" said H. b. Worden, man.
ager of the company, yesterday. I'VE
shall have. a steel planning mill on the
unit system with a capacity OF $4,000
feet daily. The wharves will have a
frontage OF 1000afeet on the channel of
the Consolidated Lumber company,
and our shipments will be unloaded
right into the yards. There win be no
finer equipped yards anywhere when
we get them completed. We shall carry
80 100000 feet of redwood"
The yards will have rail service from
the Salt Lake, Southern Pacific and
Pacific Electric railroads by private
spurs. The monorail system will be
an object of great interest to Pacific
coast lumbermen, and the complete
ness of the equipment will make the
yards a place for inspection by all Wis
itors to Los Angeles who are interest
ed in the trade. 1t is estimated that
the improvements contemplated by the
Pacific Lumber company at Whining
ton this year will cost $S50,000, exclu-
sive of channel dredging, which is done

Der company

LARGEST SHOW
WINDOWS IN CITY
Norton's shoe Store viii Have Great
Window Display In Their New
Quarters at Fifth and
Main

Quite few people have marveled at
the large amount of show windows that
are being placed In the new buildings
now in the course Of construction at
the corner of Fifth and Main streets.
When 1t Is generally learned that the
most of these display windows will be
used by Norton's shoe store they Will
marvel even more.
This enterprising firm is following in
the footsteps of Hamburger and Hale,
inasmuch as they are leaving their
present quarters on North Spring
street and are moving down to the
section of the city more generally pa
trolled by shoppers, both men and
women.
The new store at Fifth and Main will
afford Norton's shoe store a greater
surface of window display than any
other shoe store in Los Angeles, and a
special window dresser has been en-
gagged who will pay particular atten-
ton to making a feature of the Win
dows to such an extent that the store
will soon become famous as not only
possessing the largest windows in
town but also the prettiest.
Norton's shoe store will handle a
general line of mems, women's and
children's shoes, and intend to make a
speciality of e. p. Reeds and the
shoes. They will also sell e. L.
Wright's "just right" shoes and the
celebrated classic shoe for men.
The contractors promised that they
would have the new store ready by
April /, but it now appears that the
firm will have to content itself with a
later date. At present they are maxi
ing preparations to have their entirely
new stock on sale within the next two
or three days.

FINE ARTS WILL TAKE
PROMINENT POSITION
AT SEATTLE'S FAIR
COLLECTION OF PICTURES TO
INCLUDE MASTERPIECES
Artists of Two Hemispheres Combine
to Give Visitors to A-Y-P Expo
sition Opportunity to View
Best Works

While many people are not blessed
with an ability to appreciate art there
are none but can enjoy 1t.
In catering to all that makes life
pleasure, art has been given a prom
inent place In the A.-Y.-P. exposition.
We therefore feel the griends and pros
pective winners of the fourteen trips
offered by The Herald "details of which
can be found in today's paper) will be
interested by a description of this part
of the great fair.
There soon will be gathered together
the most representative art collection
ever seen in the country, and the build
ing to house this valuable collection of
pictures is one of the handsome struc-
lures on the grounds of the Alaska
Yukon-Pacific exposition at Seattle:
The fine arts building will be used
as an exhibit palace while the fair Is in
progress and at the close Of the ex-
hibition will become the permanent
chemistry hall for the University of
Washington.
In this building will be exhibited
many priceless paintings. The dis
play will represent the art galleries OF
the world, for many of these pictures
will be the work of old masters, includ-
ing rare art exhibits from the Cor
coran in Washington, the Art Museum
in New York, the Chicago Art institute
and from large number of private gall
leries of wealthy men in the United
States and Europe who have for years
made the collection of famous old
paintings their hobby. Paris and Lon
don have made large loans.
At the Alaska Yukon-Pacific exposi-
ton the selection of pictures will be
limited to the works of men who have
been recognized in the great art COM
petitions in all parts of the world. Many
American artists will be represented in
the display in the fine arts palace at
the exposition, and arrangements have
already been made for the shipping of
these valuable paintings from art in
situations in various parts of the coun-
try to Seattle.
G. L. Berg, art director of the EXPOSE
ton, has visited all of the leading gal
leries of the United States, collecting
the pictures suitable for display at
Seattle, and writes that the pictures al
ready loaned will constitute one of the
greatest art displays ever assembled for
international exhibition.
The fine arts building is fireproof
structure and was one of the first build
ings completed on the exposition
grounds. 1t cost more than 100000 to
erect the building.

SERIOUSLY HURT BY
FALL ON SIDEWALK
Real Estate Dealer Drops Uncon-
scous, and 1t Is Feared That
the Base of His Skull
Is Fractured

William Robbins, real estate dealer,
whose home is in Lomita Park, near
San Pedro, fell unconscious to the pave
ment on Fifth street, near Spring
street last night, and was removed TO
the receiving hospital, where he is lying
in a critical condition, suffering, pre-
sumably, from basal fracture OF the
skull.
Mr. Robbins was observed to fall by
Charles S. Pryor, who has an office in
the Pacific Electric building. Robbins
arose and walked few steps, and then
pitched headlong to the pavement a
second time. He was unconscious and
breathing heavily.
The police ambulance was called and
the unconscious man removed to the
receiving hospital, where Drs. Wiley
and Chamberlain sewed up ragged cut
in the back of his scalp and admins
tered restoratives to him. AS he did
not respond to the treatment a closer
examination led the physicians to be-
lieve that he HAD sustained fracture
of the skull, and all the later symp-
toms bore out this diagnosis
Efforts were made by the police last
night to locate the family or friends of
the injured man, but as there is no tele-
phone communication with Lomita
Park they were unable to reach any one
who knows him.
