BUSY AGAIN AT CLEMSON.
Many Applicants Had to BE Refused
AdmisSion-SOme Changes.

Clemson College, Sept. 25.--Spe-
cial: The oath session Of Clemson
Agricultural College began here last
Wednesday morning at $50 with
chapel exercises in the college audi
torium. At that time 461 old stu
dents had returned and matriculated.
The cadet majors, captains and first
sergeants returned on Monday to
assist the officers Of the college in
the arrangement and assignment of
the companies, rooms, sections, etc.,
and the others returned on Tuesday.
Besides the graduating senior and
the 'one-year agricultural classes,
nearly 81 per cent Of the students
who were here last year have re-
turned to continue their courses Not
only is this the largest percentage of
old students to return in a number
of years, but the number seeking ad-
mission was also the largest in a good
many years. Over a thousand appli-
cations were received from eligible
applicants this year, but owing to
the limited number Of rooms in the
barracks all of these could not be ad-
mitted. Nine hundred and fifteen
men were enrolled last year in the
regular four-year and the one-year
agricultural courses, but some few of
these could not be given very salts
factory accommodation for short
while until some few returned to
their homes for various reasons. A
number Of the applicants have been
placed on the waiting list and will be
admitted as others drop out, but
about 200 had to be refused admit
tance at all this year.
A few changes have been made in
the faculty, but none in the heads of
the different departments, and prac-
tically the same courses will be given
this year as last.
Capt. T. T. Duckett. former assist
ant commandant, has entered the
regular army and is stationed on the
Mexican border. l.. w. Boykin, re-
cent graduate Of the Citadel, has
already begun work.
Col. r. A. Jones spent the summer
at military training camp and was
promoted to the rank Of captain,
but he has returned to serve out his
"etail as commandant here.
During the week the students
were allowed to stand a number of
examinations and make up any
work they had not completed last
year, and all will begin regular class
work to-day. The old uniforms were
inspected and measurements for new
uniforms were taken last week also,
so there will be no Interruptions in
the regular work after it begins to-
day
Several new students have already
arrived, but they will not matriculate
until Tuesday, when all the freshmen
are expected to arrive. The one
year agricultural men will not report
until week later, for they have only
an eight months course,

PRESIDENT AT BALTIMORE
Speaks of Trade Expansion and Our
National Possibilities,

Baltimore, Sept 25.-President
Wilson delivered q speech, almost de-
void of politics, before the National
Grain Dealers Convention here to-
day. Discussing ways in which
American commerce can be expand
ed, he told an audience of $500 peo-
pie that through the new tariff COM
mission, the trade commission, the
Federal reserve act, the shipping bin
and similar measures he expected
business men in this country to open
up new era for the nation.
The purpose of legislation in the
immediate future in this country, I"
MIR. Wilson declared. sis going to be
to remove all ingenious constructions
and make it perfectly clear what the
liberties as we'll as what the re-
strictions Of trade are In this coun-
try"
Every effort was made by the
President to keep the visit to Balti-
more non-partisan, but when he ell
tered the Lyric Theater for his speech
he was greeted with four-minute
demonstration which kept him bow
ing again and again. "A band playing
Dixie and other popular tunes add
ed to the din of the cheering and
handclapping. The theater was
packed with grain dealers from all
parts Of the country, and their
friends, and many visitors we're
turned away.
Contempt for Partisan Action.
Regret that politics might inter-
fere with the discussion OF problems
facing American business was ex-
pressed by the President at the out
set. He declared he had "a supreme
contempt for partisan action" al
though believing in party action"
He urged that his audience divest it.
self OF 1.-The consciousness that we
are III the midst Of political CAM
paign."
Once the President, speaking of
the nations Of Latin-America, said
his "chief concern" had been to see
that "notLiu- was done that did not
show friendship and good faith OH
our part" This statement was
greeted by the most prolonged ap-
Dlause Of the speech.
Cooperation between the govern
ment and business men, between Diff
ferent business men. and between
business men and their employees
was urged as the only way in which
the United States can meet the COM
petition of the world.
"My DREAM" he declared. "is that
she will take her place in the great
field in a new spirit which the world
has never seen before-not the
spirit Of those who would exclude
others, but in the spirit Of those who
would excel Others"
After sa. IL" that until the new
banking and snirning laws were
passed the hands Of American bust
ness men were tied, the President
discussed his ideals for the new
tariff commission.
"We have admitted" he said,
that on the one side and on the
other side we were talking theories
and managing policies without a suf-
ticient knowledge Of the facts upon
which we were acting" He added
that he hoped he could find men for
the commission who will "see the
facts and state them, no matter
whose opinion those facts contra
diet"
