CHAPTER XIX
TOWARD the end of the weel

HOWARD the end of the week
the general began to show
him grave, friendly interest
He invited Castor to go over
the mills with him. The mills were
located back of the wooded cliffs a
quarter of mile up the river There
were now four magnificent brick build
ing stretching out over the river bot
toms at right angles to it's current. and
there was also big dye house. gin
ming house and a cottonseed oil mill.

proudly pointed it out to him.

of the day when those swift fingers

wish you boys of brain and genius
would quit throwing yourselves away
In law and dirty politics and devote
your powers to the south's develop

! Yes; but general. the people of tbs
south had to go into politics instead
OF business on account of the en1lan-
chisement Of the negro. 1t was a mat
ter of life and death"
IL didn't do it,
mo. sir, but others did for you"
"How?" he asked incredulouslv. with
just touch Of wounded pride.
"Well. how many negroes do YOU
employ in these mills?'
None. We don't allow a negro to
come inside the inclosure."
Precisely so. You have prospered
because you have got rid of the ne

This is not true of a strong, normal

strong mans life as whole is
not In love and the emotions. but In

And that means that l must brace

Exactly so. And it's the best thing

Registrar Hedger. Both have received
numerous letters inquiring as TO the
possibility of getting proper accommo-

ing.
One Of the most encouraging things
about the new correspondence is the
large number of young men from out"
side the state who are preparing to
enter Utah
In the past the percentage of stu
dents coming from without Utah has
been exceedingly low, but if present
appearances count for anything there
will be large increase in that direc-
tion the coming year
The period OF registration will be
from n. nj. until 4 D. III. The place
of registration is the large faculty
room in the basement of the library
building
Among the most conspicuous i'm
provcment which will greet the new
students and the old this fall are the
Episcopal dormitory and new central
building The dormitory is IN the last
stages of construction. and will be
ready for occupancy within a few
days. This is situated within 100 feet
of the main entrance TO the campus

TEN UTAHNS ON WAY

Party to Annual Encampment
at Chattanooga Grows
Smaller Each Year.

Utah vii he represented at the annua

by ten persons, five of them being old

225 o'clock yesterday afternoon. II was
composed OF II. p. Burns Elias Price and

Ogden; Mrs Mary r Lacey, past presl-
dent Of the National Association OF Army
Nurses; Mrs. Joanna Melton. Mrs. II.
l.. Burns, Mrs. Elias Price and Mrs. A.
Is. Lawrence. NIL of Salt Lake.
The principal reason ascrlbed FOR the
small attendance from Utah is the fact
That so many veterans attended the re-
cent celebration OF the battle Of f'Gettys-
burg a Gettysburg Pa, and were indis-
posed to take second trip so soon after
their visit To the famous battlefield
Then. too, most Of the veterans are very
feeble and few felt physically able TO
stand the long journey. Each year the
Utah delega ton to the national encalnp-
ment is smaller than the previous year,
and those who left yesterday feel that
this may be their last reunion trip.
Judging by literature sent out by the
Chattanooga Encampment association
the encampment this year will be most
eVentful one Owing TO the fact mat
the encampment is the first 10 be held
in the real south, they are making vast
prepa rations TO show the veterans good
time Among the features planned are
sham battles aeroplane flights. steam
boat excursions fireworks, railroad col
lison and a pilgrimage to the famous
