Taft campaign management issued g
statement soon after MI. Roosevelt's
starting became known, in which he
declared unequivocally that the Ger
tain Taft strength was 594 delegates
-54 more than enough for a nomina
ton. He and all the other Taft
leaders declared Roosevelt's coming

Mr.. Mckinley declared that the

At the University - Commencement
Exercises Bring the Session to
Close-Wilcox the Speaker.

Columbia.-The 1912 session at the
University of South Carolina came to
a close with commencement exercises
in the chapel, at which degrees were
conferred upon the various candl-
dates. Fifty-fve young men and wo-
men were rewarded for their work by
diplomas.
The honorary degree of doctor Of
letters was conferred by the Univer-
sity Of South Carolina upon the fol-
lowing distinguished men: Col. o.
J.. Bend of the Citadel, Chas. Hey
ward Barnwell, dean of the University
Of Alabama, and. Gaillard Hunt Of
Washington, D. c.
The annual address before the grad
yates was delivered by P. A. Wilcox
of Florence, graduate of the class
Of 1887, and an enthusiastic alumnus.
Mr.. Wilcox, a brilliant member OF
the South Carolina bar, made an i'm
pressive address, dealing with the re-
lation of the university to the state.
Nj. Wilcox stressed the Importance
of university education. He told OF
the university's responsibility and du-
ties to the state. Its place in the life
of the commonwealth and the great
influence it had upon the citizenship.
He added that compulsory education
must be initiated.
"The weakness Of the average maj"
said Mr.. Wilcox, "is his failure TO
know himself, to recognize his capac-
ity, to find his proper place-great or
small-in the general aggregate OF hu-
man performance" He said thai the
true aim of the university ideal ap-
piled to the state is for the South
C~arolinian to find himself.
Nh. Wilcox dwelt at length on the
function of the university and gave
a plan which he considered a good
university education. 1t was an ex-
cellent address overlooking with gen.
uine thoughts of great import.

Will Follow The Greer Route.

The directors of the Greenville, An
derson & Spatranburg Railway Co.,
the electric line projected by ]. B.
Duke, decided to follow the Greer
route, which parallels the Southern
Railway in building between Spartan
burg and Greenville. There was in
tense competition between the people
of Greer and the people of Reidsville
to obtain the line and both offered
rights of way and other inducements.
R~eidsville is 6 miles from the near
est railway. The Greer route was
chosen because it is 8 miles shorter,
and offers more business.

Gentlemen, have you agreed upon q

Seigler, who was sitting with his
attorneys, anxiously scanned their

the clerk, who read the verdict:
1--WE, the jury find the defendant
guilty of manslaughter." e
Instantly every n was turned up

that not matter what might be the de-
cision of the ~ men, there must be
no demonstration. While these pre-
liminaries were going on Seigler sat
beating a tattoo on the table in front
of him. Seigler's attorneys gave inn.
mediate notice of q motion for a new
trial, which will be heard In the near
future. If this is denied Judge Rice
will pass sentence upon the convicted

came. So far no damage has been re-
