Exercises Bring the Session to
Close-Wllcox the Speaker.

Columbia. 1912 session at the
University of South Carolina came to
q close with commencement exercises
in the chapel, at which degrees were
conferred upon the various candi-
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. Bond 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. It's 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 man
said Mr.. Wilcox, "is his failure 10
know himself, to recognize his capac'
ity. TO find his proper place-great or
small-in the general aggregate OF hui
man performance" He said that the
true aim of the university ideal ap-
piled to the state is for the Souh
Carolinian to find himself.
Mr.. Wilcox dwelt at length on the
function OF the university and gave
a plan which he considered good
university education. 1t was an ex-
cellent address overflowing with gen.
uine thoughts of great import.

This move follows several govern
mental attacks upon the trust" The
House judiciary committee few days
ago decided to investigate the indus
try. AS soon as the packers were ac-
quilted in their recent trial at Chicago
of criminal violation of the Sherman
law, the Attorney General turned his
attention towards a civil suit for the
dissolution of the National Packing
Company through which it was charg-
ed the packers acted in concert. A
previous similar suit was dismissed
by the government during the pen
dency OF the criminal proceedings.

ture of disintegration. To give the
meat interests time to meet the issue

I Washington, d. c. - The govern

ion TO refrain from Intervention in Gu
ba as long as there is a reasonable
prospect of the suppression of the
insurrection by the Gomez govern
ment. It is felt that the blow dealt
to the insurrection by the capture
of one leading general has greatly
increased the prospects of an early
resumption of control over the whole
province Of Orients by the govern
