All members of the board were pres
ent except Senator Tillman. Con-
gressman A. +. Lever met with the
board for the first time since his cleo
ton as a life member to take the
place of the late Col r. w. Simpson.
Congressman Lever is intensely in
terested in Clemson and the great
work that is being done for the agri-
cultural interests OF the State. His
wide experience and his energy will
make him most valuable member Of
the board.
The board had made as a special
order memorial service in honor of
Col. r. w. Simpson and Hon. w. ID.
Evans, who had died during the year.
IhlS service was rather remarkable
1t lasted two hours, and the tribute
paid the two former members of the
board by their colleagues were char
acterized by such deep devotion and
nigh appreciation of the worthy SER
vices rendered to the college and to
the State by these two noble men
that the meeting lost it's formal char
acter. Col. NJ. l.. Donaldson, senior
member Of the board, presided, and
eloquent addresses were made by r.
II. Zimmerman, r. |. Manning, A. T..
Lever, w. w. Bradley, Alan John
stone and ]. e. Wannamaker Espe-
cially touching were the strong and
tender tributes OF Mr.. Johnstone and
Mr.. Wannamaker, who knew and val
ued the services of their departed
friends so well. DR.. w. NJ. Riggs
most tittingly represented the faculty
in brief address.
Oh the original seven life-trustees
only three remain-Messrs. Donald
son, Wannamaker and Tillman. The
deceased life-members are D. X. Nor
ris, j. e. Bradley, r. e. Bowen and
r. w. Simpson.
The office Of secretary and libra
rian to the experiment station, held
by Judge =. n. Hook till his death
this year, was abolished, and the no
sition of mailing clerk to the station
substituted at reduced salary. The
president appointment Of Miss Julia
HOOK 10 this position was confirmed.

Homecoming week for eX
Clemson students was authorized.
This homecoming week will likely
be held in 1914, in August, in COM
memOration of the ,25th anniversary
OF the Act of acceptance of the Glenn
son bequest by the Legislature.
The resignation Of DR.. p. III. E.
Sloan, who, since the organization of
the college, has been it's secretary
and treasurer, was accepted with eX-
pressions of regret and esteem, the
resignation to take effect January | =,
1914. Dr.. Sloan retires on account of
his age, being now rs. No man who
has ever been connected with the col
lege has been SO genuinely loved and
esteemed by everybody. No student
who has ever been here will ever for
get him. He loved and served every
body.
5. w. Evans, who for some years
has served the college most efficiently
as Dook-keeper, was appointed secre-
tary and treasurer to succeed DR..
Sloan, and F.. G. Davis, of Newberry.

& MULES AND HORSE BURNED.
FLAMES Destroy Barn OF w. ii. Nc
Dade-Loss $500.
(Anderson Mail, 21st.)

w. II. McDade, who lives about
four miles from Sandy Springs, in the
Wild Hog section, lost his barn, four
mules, horse and between $1,000
and 1,50O worth of feed stuffs, farm
implements, etc. in fire Wednesday
night. The barn was worth about
$500, making Mr.. McDade's total loss
about $4,000, with 81, 500 insurance.
1t is not known how the fire origi-
mated. 1t was discovered about 8
o'clock by Mr.. McDade, and had then
gained such headway that it was i'm
possible to get the stock or anything
else out Of the building. The four
mules were valued at about $3.50,
and the horse at $3.50. The other
things in the barn, including farm
implements, vehicles, feed stuffs,
harness, etc, bring the amount Of the
loss up to the total as given-$3,SOO
with insurance ($1 5000 less than
half that amount.
Mr.. McDade is one of the best far
mers in that section OF the county.
and while he has been most success
ful, his loss falls heavily upon him.

" ONLY GOD CAN SAVE MEXICO"
And Only With Help OF the United
States, Say MaderOs.

Vera Cruz, Nov. .--Everasto and
Daniel Madero, two relatives Of the
late President of Mexico, were taken
to-day on board the American flag
ship from the consulate, where they
took refuge last night.
A request for the surrender of the
two Maderos to the local authorities
was made upon Consul VIM. w. Can
ada to-day by Col. Eugene Cutter
rez, aide of Gen Gustavo Mas, Fed
eral command If Vera, Cruz. Mr..
Canada PROMPTLY refused to comply
with the request.
After the consuPs refusal to deliv-
er them up, 1t was reported that veil
ed threats had been made to take the
refugees by force. In anticipation of
any such attempt a steam launch
from the American battleship Rhode
Island lay all morning off the sea
wall opposite the consulate with an
armed crew Of blue jackets on board
ready to come ashore at a moments
notice.
After their release yesterday from
the fortress Of San Juan Ulua, the
two Maderos sought asylum in the
American consulate, where they were
guarded in strict privacy until this
morning
At about 8 O'Clock the two fugi-
tives, escorted only by John Lind,
personal representative OF President
Wilson, and VIM. M. Canada, United

LEMACKs GUILTY OF MURDER.
A First Degree Verdict Rendered by
Jury of CoIIeton County.

Walterboro, Nov 22.-I. S. (Cap)
Lemacks was tonight found guilty,
by Colleton jury, Of murder in the
first degree, for the killing, on Au-
gust 10 last, Of Aquilla Blocker.
With the verdict of the jury the
final curtain was dropped on one of
the most sensational and hard-fought
murder cases in the history of Collie
ton county The trial was begun yes
terday and was given to the jury at
7 O'Clock tonight, the verdict being
rendered at 1920.
Blocker, who was about 81 years
of age and prominently connected,
was killed in one OF the thick swamps
OF the county, into which the prose-
cution charged he had been enticed
by Lemacks for the purpose Of rob-
berry. The tragedy occurred about
10 o'clock on a Saturday morning
and Blocker's body was not found
until 6 o'clock the following after
noon. He was last seen alive with
Lemacks, the two young men being
well acquainted, living only about
half mile apart. Lemacks is about
&c years old.
The failure Of young Blocker, who
it was known had a sum Of money on
his person, to return home caused
alarm, and search was instituted,
Lemacks joining the searching party.
At the inquest the actions of Lemacks
were such as to cause him to be sus-
pected OF having slain his companion.
He was arrested later, charged with
murder.
The contention OF the State was
that Lemacks had knowledge Of the
money on Blocker's person and en-
ticed the latter into the swamp, with
robbery as the motive, and in carry
ing out his alleged plans slew young
Blocker, who, it was alleged, was
shot in the back. Testimony given
by witnesses for the State tended to
substantiate this theory
Lemack's defense was the "unwrit-
ten law" and self-defense. He took
the stand and gave his version OF the
tragedy, claiming that he and his VIC
tim engaged in an alteration as re-
suit of domestic trouble, and that in
the encounter he shot Blocker.

ANNUAL CONFERENCE CoNvENEs
Session at Rock Hill Opens To-Day.
Important One.

The South Carolina Annual Metho-
dist Conference convened to-day in
the First Methodist church at Rock
Hill. Bishop A. W. Wilson is pre-
siding.
The annual conference is compos-
ed OF the Presiding Bishop, the
preachers Of the conference and four
lay delegates from each presiding ell
der's district. A great amount OF
businesses must be attended to within
the one weeks time the conference
is in session. The making OF the ap-
pointments is the most important
item Of business for both the Bishop
and the preachers, and is looked for
ward to with eagerness. The work
of the mission boards, the boards OF
education, the Sunday school inter
ests, the Epworth Leagues, the
church extension board and number
Of other important church labors will
also be considered by the conference
and plans made for further progress
on each Of them
At the annual conference each
presiding elder and pastor in charge
makes personal report Of his years
work, and his character must be
passed by vote Of the conference be-
fore he is given work for another
year.
The passage of the preachers
character is always a moment OF
tense interest in the conference ses-
sions, for it is not always known
when minister's character will be
arrested and he be brought to trial
before the conference.
1t is thought probable that the
charges preferred some time ago
against Rev. S. A. Nettles, publisher
Of the Southern Christian Advocate,
which were thrown out at a recent
hearing, will be brought before this
session Of the conference
This years conference is expected
to be notable one in many respects.
Numerous important and new ques-
tions will come up for adjustment,
and it is anticipated that number
Of heated debates will occur.
New questions to be considered
will be the giving Of laity rights to
women. This request of the women
was denied by the last General Con-
ference at Asheville, but the fight
has been renewed and is being agi-
tated this year from a different stand
point. The various conferences are
being asked to memorialiZe the Gen
eral Conference to grant this request.
Not all the conferences are complying
with the prayer of the women, and 1t
is not expected that this conference
will do so.
Another matter to be considered
will be the changing Of the name OF
Methodist Episcopal Church. South,
to just plain Methodist Episcopal
Church. Some of the Western con-
ference5 complain that the word
South is a drawback to them In
their work. The Asheville General
Conference voted to submit the mat,
ter to the various conferences Of the
connection. To date 16 Of the con-
ferences have voted on the change,
the votes being registered 470 for
and 873 against.
Fourteen delegates will be elected
to the General Conference. which
will convene next April in Oklahoma
City

Agricultural Publicist,

In order to give out agricultural
information to the people promptly,
continuously and in the most acces-
SlDle and UNDERSTANDINGS form. the
board created the position Of agricul-
tural publicist. The regular corres-
pondents for the newspapers, having
their college duties to perform, and
not being agricultural experts, could
not do this work as it should be done.
This new officer will be expected TO
present to the farmers OF the State.
through the daily and weekly news
papers and agricultural journals, in
popular form, the results Of the work
or the experiment station, of the dem
onstration and extension division and
OF the agricultural department.
In view of the great demand for
work along poultry lines, so as to
make this side issue profitable fea-
ture OF farming, the board carefully
considered the project Of adding
poultry husbandry to the work Of the
agricultural department and extern
sion division. However, for lack of
iuhdS, IT was decided that it was i'm
possible to add new lines of work
without abandoning some work that
the college is already doing. The
budget for the public State work this
year already amounts to $4,000,
which, in view of the uncertainty of
the fertilizer tax, is even now more
than the college can afford to risk.
1t was decided to abolish the, pre-
paratory class after this session. 1t
has for some time been the intention
to gradually eliminate the number of
students in this department so that 1t
could be abolished.
