WITH LARGEST ENROLL
NENT ON RECORD.
At the Opening Exercises Number
of Short Addresses are Deliv-
cred---tlass Work Begin,
Thursday.

The forty-second annual term q
Trinity University opened Wednes-
day morning with the largest at
! tedance in the history of that insti-
tuition. The students began arriving
Monday from different sections of
the state and by Tuesday the mem-
bers of the faculty We're kept busy
receiving young men and young
women and assigning them to their
! boarding halls. About eighty-five
young ladies were present on the
opening day. This number filled
Prendergast Hall, Sullivan Annex
and Dinwiddie Annex and some were
placed in private homes Beeson hall
is also crowded with boys. All the
teachers had returned for the open
ing with the exception of Miss Muel-
Ter and Miss Traylor, both of whom
spent the summer in Germany Miss
T'raylor is expected within the next
day or two, but Miss Mueller will not
be at her post of duty until October
/, on account of impaired health
y In addition to the students who
crowded into the auditorium to at
tend the opening exercises large
number of citizens of the town were
present Several visiting ministers
were in attendance
The exercises began at 1890 with
the congregation singing the doxolo-
gy, A prayer was offered by Rev w
NJ. Nevins, pastor of the First Bap-
fist church Rev A. D. Porter, pas
tor of the First Methodist church,
was then introduced and he deliver

current was furnished for operating
manufacturing enterprises in towns

glad to welcome the young men and
young women to the city of WaXaha-

moral and intellectual power

remarks Miss Anderson favored the

TiXAS COTTON BEING
SHIPPED To JAPAN.
Railroad Reports Tell STORY ol How
Texas Product l. in Demand
by Oriental Manufacturers

Figures just compiled by the cot
ton men Of the various railroads
with headquarters ~ Houston indi-
cate that over loo, 600 bales of cot
ton will be shipped from Texas tins
year to Japan and other countries
beyond the Pacific. The movement
from Texas to the Orient has already
received an excellent and-early start
and already over 3000 bales have
been shipped to those countries.
japanese cotton buyers are unusu-
ally active in Texas this year and It
is said that all the Orient mills will
be supplied with the staple from
this state. Railroad figures show that
the cotton trade between Texas and
Asia is becoming greater and greater
each year Only very few bales are
shipped from Oklahoma, Arkansas
or Louisiana. None at all is shipped
from states east of the Mississippi
on account of the long rail haul to
the Pacific coast
Since September / when the fiscal
cotton season opened. the Southern
Pacific has hauled more than 1900
bales to San Francisco for export.
Over 1000 bales have gone from this
part of the state over the lines RUM
ming through Fort Worth. A large
amount of cotton was shipped west
from central and North Texas, as the
haul is not so great from those points
to the coast
Competition among the railroads
for the Orient cotton haul is ex-
tremely keen this year The Gould
lines of the west have placed sevt-
al men in Texas largely for this puf-
pose. All the other roads have solicit
tors working constantly
In the past Japan and other Orien-
tai countries secured their cotton.i
from India. The Indian cotton, how
ever, is not to be compared with the
American cotton and the manufac-
tuners of the Far East realize that
in order to keep up to the pace that
it is necessary to make their goods
out of the best staple that is grown
regardless of the fact that it is nee
essary to go halfway around the
globe to secure it.-~Houston Post
