LEXINGTON, s. c. WEDNESDAY, MAY 21. 1913.


Clemson is still growing along all
lines. A great many improvements
have been made in the last year. Co.
ment walks have been built to all the
distant buildings, and still they con-
tinLe to build. Our campus will look
like city when the work is finished.
Owing TO the increase in the mum
Der of members Of the faculty about
five or six new houses have been
erected and two more are now in
course of construction.
The faculty and officers of the coll
lege now numbers ninety-four, and
still more will have to be secured to
fill the places made by the change in
curriculum, which has given the agri-
cultural students chance to pick a
course from seven different courses,
instead of three as in the old curricu-
lum.
The entrance requirements to the
freshman class will be higher than
heretofore.
A new commissary and refrigerat-
ing plant is now being built. This
will be a great help especially as re-
CARDS the mess hall. 1t is the purpose
of the authorities to manufacture their
own ice.
Conditions in the mess hall have
been greatly improved by having Sc
cnred lady as matrou. All the food
is cooked better and everything in
general is much better. The cadets
feel more at home when they 60 to
meals now than they did two years
ago, ..-~. ...-,.. ..--
Our campus is being beautifed by
straightning out of the roads; and the
planting of lawn grass, which ls kept
moved down smooth. - ~
We had as our guest last week, the
County Supt. of Education from near
ly all the counties in the State.
Hon. 0. B. Martin, ex-State Supt.
of Education, but now of Washington,
D. O., gave ne very interesting ard
instructive lecture on DR.. Seeman A.
Knapp, the great promoter OF >agricul-
ture in theIIEJ. s This lecture was en-
joyed by all who heard him.:
On last Friday might the gymnasium
wastfe scene of formal dance given
by the senior dancing club. There
were many young ladies' from all parts
of the State, who enjoyed themselves
very much as they glided over the
waxed floor to the strains of many
pretty airs rendered by the Clemson
College orchestra,
Following uhe dance given by the
seniors, was an informal dance given
by the juniors on Saturday night.
Seniors have only one week Of
classes and then they will begin on
their final examinations.
Commencement exercises will begin
on Saturday night, the 1th and con.

 Huerta stated weeks ago that any attempt to hold un election would make the government more unstable than ever and hc deplOred the fact that the United States forced him to go through the form of holding an election. It is evident that Huerta only allowed this farceicai election to be held in order to stand off the United states and that he never for a mo- ment meant to relinquish his power no matter what the outcome of the vote.

No news of any move on the part of other South American states to enter into the Mexican situation without regard to the United States has even been hinted nt but it is understood that the Brazilian government Is acting with the consent and in fact is acting for the entire galaxy of southern countries whose intersts are suffering by the conditions in Mexico.
 The Mayari carries in addition to her regular crew one thousand llrazil- Ian soldiers and 1t is understood that her coming to Mexican waters was the direct result of a conference of South American diplomatic representatives Janeiro at which it's was decided that if the United States. persisted in not furnishing protection to foreigners ffh Mexico combination of states would he formed to look after their own in- terests.
 The other countries which have de- clded to act with BraZli in the matter are now organizing expeditions similar to that on board the Alayari and if 1t Is found necessary these expcditinns will be transported to Mexico and win unite under tho command of General Pedro de Mornes, who is aboard the Maryari It has been learned here from officers on board inc Brazilian ship that they are fully cluippcdf for land ing md that 1t is expected that tho force which will Dc available for ser vice under General dc Aloraes will con
