Furman University
Opened on Thursday

GREENVILLE, s. c., Sept. Is
With an attendance that will certain
ly equal and very probably exceed
that Of last year, formal opening ex-
ercises of the 1922 session of
Furman university were held Thurs
day morning at 10 o'clock in
Judson Alumni hall. Brief talks
were made by number of prominent
citizens of Greenville and the prin-

tor of the First Baptist church of
Anderson and president Of Anderson
college. Regular class room work
will begin Friday morning.
Upper claSsmen matriculated Tues
day and Wednesday, while freshmen
were classified Thursday.
Up until short while ago 1T ap-
peared that the enrolment at Fur
man would fall beneath that of last
year, but within the last few days
applications for entrance to the
university acted upon equal the at
tendance of last session. With regis
trations still coming in, indications
now are that the enrolment will ex-
coed that of last year.
I'm view of existing business con-
ditions," says President McGlothlin,
II would regard it as great triumph
If our enrolment this year came up
to that of last season."
The university opens this year
with the largest faculty it has had in
it's history, more. than a score of pro-
fessors being actually employed in
the class rooms, and with the addi-
ton of two new departments-th

county, in conjunction with the coun-
ty farmers organizations, has en-
ployed M. w. H. Collins. of Madison
county, Georgia, as demonstration
agent under the Smith-Eever bill.
Mr.. Collins is a graduate of the State
Agricultural college and man of
several years experience in this
work.
The new agent was introduced to
the executive committee of the Nor
gan County Farmers association
Tuesday and gave very instructive
talk to that body. The executive
committee went further into their
permanent organization by calling
meetings of the grain, hog, peach,
and dairying interests of the county
for Monday, September 10, as fol-
lows: Small grain growers, 1 Ca m.
peach growers, IL noon; hog raisers,
2 p. M; dairymen, p. m.
It seems now that the raising OF
cotton will be practically abandoned
in Morgan county next year, this
years crop being failure on account
of the boil weevil Last year a
yield Of 10000 bales was made, while
this seasons most liberal estimate
is 5000 bales. 1t is also estimated
that there is a cary-over in this
county of about 10000 bales from

Riot on Seawaves
Endangers Vessels
Near Antarctic Ship

LONDON.-sir Ernest Shackleton
was mobbed at sea by sightseers at
Eastbourne, last week, according to
THE London Daily News" CORE
spondent. His ship, the Quest, sail
ing for Southampton, dropped
anchor about a quarter of a mile off
Eastbourne Pier. 1t was made known
that Sir Ernest would throw the YES
sci open for inspection, the proceeds
to go to the local lifeboat institu-
ton.
Remarkable scenes followed. About
10000 people assembled on the pier
and paraded during the morning, and
every kind of sea craft was requi-
sitioned to carry the crowds out to
the Quest. Within an hour ST. Ern-
est was compelled to abandon tenn
porarily the privilege.
By that time the crush around the
sides of the vessel had become so
great that scores of crowded motor
boats were TANNED, so that it was
impossible for those on board to get
away.
There was chaos on the water, and
frail rowing boats were crushed be-
tween the motor boats. In one case
wood. Fortunately, its occupants
were rescued by a motor boat.
The civic party, including the
mayor and mayoress of Eastbourne,
the councillors and several titled
visitors, were compelled to come
alongside to starboard and climb the
rails to get aboard. Later, owing to
the low water, the Quest had to up
anchor and put further out to sea,
Miss Cecily Shackelton, Sir Ernest's
daughter, taking the wheel.
A prismatic compass, which. has
been presented by the Eastbourne
division of Girl Guides, is to be
used in navigating the ship in the
South seas

sentatives must be American citi-
zens.
