Furman Has an Auspicious
Opening.

Greenville, Sept. 16.-With an en-
rollnlent fully up to expectations, the
1928 session of Furman Univer.
sity got under way Thursday morn
ing. With several students yet to be
matriculated, it is believed that the
attendance will finally come up tc
last years figures, which were 416
the largest in the history of the in,
stitution. One gratifying feature OF
the enrolment is that wider distri-
button of students over the state is
shown. Every county except two
Beaufort and Lexington-is repre-
sented in the student body. Several
states and one foreign country are
also represented. The enrolment
from North Carolina alone is more
than a dozen.
Important announcements made
at the opening exercises were that
the James C. Furman Hall of Science,
which was badly damaged by fire last
July, will be ready for use by Christ
mas and that a portion of it will be
in use within two weeks; that the
new $4,000 gymnasium will be COM
pleted before Christmas; that the
college opens for the first time this
fall a modern, steam laundry for the
use cf the student body; change in
the management of the library: the
addition of three new professors to
the faculty; and the creating Of two
new courses and addition of other
features in the college curriculum.
The new professors are: A. M. Ar
nett, Ph. D., Columbia University,
head of the department of history;
R. I. Allen, M. A., of the University
of Georgia, assistant professor of
physics; and John L. Plyler, alumnus
of Furman and graduate of the Har-
ward Law School, who will be assist
ant in the department of law.
Succeeding Miss Alberta Malone
as librarian is Miss Eva Wrigley, for
merly librarian at Emory Univer-
sity. She will be assisted by Miss

Greenwood Jury Finds One
Guilty.

Greenwood, Sept. 17.-After de-
liberating 16 1-2 hours the jury in
the case Of R. Clayton Underwood
and Berry B. Hughes, charged with
the murder of Oscar Mitchell, Green
wood baseball player, reported to
Judge H. F. Rice this morning at 10
o'clock that they had agreed on a
verdict Of guilty of murder in the
first degree, with recommendation to
mercy, in the case of Underwood,
but they could not agree on Hughes.
Judge Rice then ordered mis-
trial in Hughes case.
In imposing the life sentence car
ried by the verdict, Judge Rice pro-
nounced a warning gaainst the inf1u-
ence of liquor Underwood received
the sentence without a tremor but
his wife who had shown no emotion
throughout the trial burst into tears.
A motion for a new trial was over
ruled by Judge Rice and he again re-
fused to direct verdict of not gull
ty for Hughes. Bail for Hughes was
fixed at $4,000.
The life sentence for Underwood
was the first sentence ever pronounc-
ed in tis county on Sunday and one
of the few on record in this state.
The trial of the two men consumed
three days, during which time hun
dreds packed the court house to hear
the trial of case that had aroused
intense feeling.
Oscar Mitchell, Greenwood second
baseman, was shot to death by I'm
derwood in front Of Underwood's
fathers boarding house August 8.
Underwood claimed that Mitchell had
made an attack on his wife. The
state introduced evidence to disprove
the attack story.

Georgia's New Governor.

Cliff Walker, who last week de-
feated Hardwick in the race for Gov
ernor of Georgia, has already had
quite an active career in public life,
and his experience should be of great
aid to him in administering the af-
fairs of the Cracker State.
His first public Office was in 1902,
when he was elected mayor of his
home town, Monroe. After serving
in this office for three years, he was
named solicitor general of the west
ern circuit of the state, remaining
three years in this capacity. In 1924,
he was elected attorney general with
a popular majority of 65,606 votes,
He was defeated for governor in
1920 by Mr.. Hardwick in the run-off
primary between himself and the
present governor.
We are told that Mr.. Walker has
not only taken an active part in po-
litical and civic activities of his
state, but is prominent Baptist lay
man and ardent religious worker. He
has also been interested in a number
of educational activities, having been
named a trustee of Mercer univer.
sity and of Shorter college, and has
taken part in many educational
movements.
During his career at the university
Mr.. Walker distinguished himself fo1
his scholarship and for his literary
and oratorical accomplishments. He
won five medals through his ability
as a writer, speaker and student

An Addition to Southern
Literature.

The literature of the South has
had valuable and interesting addi-
ton in the publication Of "The Black
Border" by Ambrose E. Gonzales, of
Columbia. The book is collection of
gullah stories, which delineate ad-
n1irably and truthfully the coast
country negro, his dialect, his char
acter and the rich humor of his leg
ends and beliefs.
A number of these stories were
published by Mr.. Gonzales in The
(Columbia) sta-e, of which news
paper he is the head; others were
added in the volume which has just
appeared. The title Of the column is
made clear by an outline map of
South Carolina, showing heavy
black border running from the Sa-
vannah river past Beaufort and
Charleston to Georgetown, the home
of the "gullah" negro.
The book we believe, will be found
to have value beyond its literary
and historical interest. Those who
are interested in tracing the relation
ship of the human races back beyond
the period where written history be-
gins, will doubtless find in these leg
ends and beliefs of the coast negro,
a common ground of connection with
the ancient history of other tribes of
the world, as was the case in that
other celebrated Southern book,
"Uncle Remus," by Joel Chandler
Harris. The origin of the negro race
is shrouded in mystery, and their
traditions of the present day in many
cases, have been found to date back
many centuries to the childhood
days of the race.-Greenville News.

occupation of It's new plant at
Hampton Park September 20. Visi-
tors to Charleston who have inspec-
ted the plant, have expressed not
only admiration but wonder at the
size and equipment of the buildings
and the beauty of the grounds, and
say without hesitation that it is one
of the most complete and attractive
college plants in the South.
About three years ago, the move
ment for greater Citadel was inau-
gurated by alumni and friends of
the Citadel who approached the City
Council of Charleston on the. project,
with the result that the City of
Charleston offered the State of South
Carolina the beautiful tract of land
adjacent to Hampton Park, and lying
on the banks of the Ashley river.
This tract contains over rs acres of
highland and includes also wide
stretch of marshland of a hundred
acres out to the river. There is a
natural growth of fine old live oaks
on the edge of the highland, and an
aoenue of we'll grown sycamore trees
which were planted a number of years
ago as a part of the park: system.
When it is considered that this tract
is not remote from the city, nor even
in the suburbs, but we'll within the
corporate limits, it can readily be ap-
preciated that its value may well ap-
proximate half million dollars.
The legislature of 1920 accepted
the offer of the City of Charleston
and in thas year and the following
appropriated s3OO,oOo and authoriz-
ed a further loan of $5OO,00O for the
purpose of erecting the necessary
buildings.
The Board of Visitors promptly
took measure to carry out the pro-
ject. They engaged the firm of
Lockwood, Greene & Company of
Boston as engineers and architects,
with whom was associated the emf
nent firm of Shattuck & Coolidge as
consulting architects. The chairman
of the board appointed building
committee consisting of three men,
bers, John P. Thomas of Charleston,
chairman; Col. James G. Padgett of
Walterboro and Col. James H. Ham
mond of Columbia. The firm of con-
tractors was the Charleston Engi-
neering and Contracting Company.
