TEES MEET
Swearingen Explains Why
Scholarships Remain Open

Columbia, Sep, i.-T:ustees of
Clemson College met in Columbia yes
terday and awarded scholarships for
;ildt institution. OF the awards made.
., We're foii' year scholarships. with
Two more assigned temporarily for
one year; 13 who received scholar
ships last year for one session only
had their scholarships renewed; -
one year agricultural course schol-
arshipS We're awarded to young men
n specific counties. and five one year
! agricultural scholarships from the
State at large.
Concernin;: the awarding Of schol-
arships, John r. Swearingen. State s'l
perintpndent el education said last
night:
Clemson faculty found large
number OF applicants unprepared and
every such rnprepared applicant is
designated ineligible. The State
board of charities and corrections
passed upon the financial status Of
all applicants. This board rules out
all who were considered able to pay
tuition. Every such student disap-
proved by the State board OF chari
ties and corrections could not be Civ
en- an appointment regardless OF exam
nation grades. These four facts ec-
count for the appalling number Of
untitled scholarship appointments
The trustees granted Prof. G.. c.
Newman, head of the horticultural
department years leave of absence
from the college t. develop the rice
lands along he Atlantic seaboard and
to make himself more familiar with
conditions in the lowlands.
Prof. Newman will work with the
Combahee Company and will lend aid
in bringing up the lands of this COM
pany as Il as helping the rice in
dustry Of che state. Professor New
mans leave !>egins October l and dur
ing the time he is away he Will make
short visits back to the college in IN
.erest Of the wo-l- there.
The trustees felt that while Pro-
fessor Newman could hardly be spared
for one year that at the same time he
would be helping the States farming
interest and putting himself in a posi-
ton to be able to impart needed
knowledge en- this type of farming to
Hundreds along the lowland coast.
The board was notified by DR.. w.
VI. Riggs, president, that he had been
able to secure Lieut.. Col. j. NJ. Cum
nirgs as commandant for the coming
year. Colonel Cummings was com
rlandant from 1912 through 1916 and
was one Of the best officers the col
iege has had. The trustees are elated
along wit, Dr.. Riggs that he will
again be in charge this year.
DR.. Riggs said yesterday Clemson
was facing one of the brightest years
in its history. The enrolment will
| reach probably $50 and all depart
ments will lie crowded. Old men who
will stand examinations Of back work
will report between September and
| 10. The formal opening Of the col
lege will tal.e pi zee September 10 and
six days later all freshmen will arrive

The boil weevil is reported in the
Ayers Mill section OF Barnwell coun-
ty. This is only about eighty-five
miles from Sumter and it is probable
that before frost the pest will spread
many miles beyond the at present 4n-
tested area. thereby making much
nearer the advent Of the weevii in
Sumter county. Al the best the wee
vii will be not more than two years
in reaching this county and it is pos
sible that it will be here before frost
next season. 1t is certainty that
Sumter county farmers will have the

the 1921 season.

PROTEST INCREASE
OF FW.-VA.RR.FARE
Citizens of Vienna, Va, at
Meeting, Declare Proposed
Charges Are Exorbitant.

VIENNA, Va, Aug. ga meeting
OF the citizens of Vienna and vicinity
was held last night in the new school
building to protest against the pro
posed changes in the passenger fares
on the Washington Virginia railroad.
The company filed an extensive new
tariff with the Interstate Commerce
Commission on August g, and lodged
copies with the Public Utihfies Com
mission in Washington and the State
Corporation Commission in Rich
mond.
At the meeting il was declared
the proposed rates probably will
average 50 per cent or more over the
existing rates. The generally lex
pressed opinion was that some in
crease might be expected, due to the
higher cost Of everything these days,
but sentiment was against the in
creases as proposed.
Citizens protests and requests for
hearings have been filed before the
three commissions and last night a
committee consisting Of Chas E. Bah
cock, Herbert t. williams, Wells A.
sherman, Z. L Freeman and j. s.
Elms was appointed to cooperate with
like cQmmittees from other points.
A similar meeting was held in Falls
Church last Tuesday and others are
called for Clarendon and Balston to
night.

REAL BEER POURED
in CHICAGO GUTTER

CHICAGO. Aug. 2e.-Four hundred
barrels of regular beer. the 3 per cent
kind. were dumped in the dusty gut
ters under Government supervision.
Under prohibition the Schlitz Brewing
Company viewed with concern not
merely the loss Of 1900 gallons Of its
brew but $1,000, In cold cash, paid for
the privilege OF selling Il.
= Ell. Uihlein, vice president OF the
companys set out TO recover this sum.
He wrote to the United States revenue
agents, reminding them that he was
unable to sell his beer and that he was
intent upon destroying IL so that he
might recover the tax.
As the pile Of empty barrels grew,
80 did the audience. The beer flowed
90 fast that It filled the gutter and the
greedy sewer could not drink fast
enough TO catch it all. Then In the
throng surreptitious cups began to
make their appearance, but the reve-
nue agent had expected that
SECT back thereT he shouted.
The crowd fell back. The beer
flowed and flowed and flowed. Nobody
got a drink.

merce, who is a strong advocate of home demonstration work.
 My 30 years experience as a re- taller of table supplies leads me to be- lieve," say sMr. Miner, 'that the cry ing need Of the hour is for women fit- 1 ted to fill their appointed spheres, the makers of homes. The home econom- ics department is doing a work that is absolutely essential to the welfare of the state.'
 In a letter to women of Connecticut who have been active in pushing the work for home improvement, Miss Sprague calls attention to the fact that women can be of great influence in making the farm bureau membership drive a success.
 Women question why they should become farm bureau members be- cause they do not understand the con- nection between home enonomics work with that of the farm bureau" says Miss Sprague.
 "The federal department conduct ing this is the department of agricul- ture and home economics and tho job is a 50-50 one, involving both the home and farm. In the cities there are no farms but the home still ex- 1sts, and that home must be made as coofmrtable, as healthful, and as eff cient as possible. There is no other federal or state agency except the de- partment of agriculture and home economics which functions for an "alI round" building up Of better homes, both in city and country.
 "For the last two years hundreds of families have lived better because of the canning demonstrations conducted
  For many months women were oblig- ed to entirely change their menus in order to use foods with which they were entirely unfamiliar. because of the regulations of the food admins tration. The home economies depart ment of the state college and farm bureaus gave demonstrations, exhib- it's, recipes and individual assistance to hundreds of women.
