Riggs Calls Meeting of State Ath.
letic' Association in Spartan
burg Tuesday.

Clemson College, Jan. 1.-THE sec
ond term of the college year began
Wednesday morning with an increas-
ed enrolment and with every indica-
ton of continuance of successful
work for the session. The total en-
rollment after the matriculation of a
dozen or more new students has now
reached a total of 1907, which is the
largest enrolment in the history of
the college.
DR.. w. M. Riggs, president Of the
college and president of the South
Carolina Intercollegiate Athletic asso-
citation, has called meeting of. that
association to be held in Spartanburg
on Tuesday night, January 10. The
meeting will consider intercollegiate
athletic matters of interest to the
colleges of the state.
Rapid progress is being made in
the erection of the temporary gymna-
SUM, which is being constructed
largely by means of student labor.
The structure is just west Of Riggs
field and will be most convenient for
athletic use. It is hoped that the build
ing will be completed in time for use
during the latter part of the basket
ball season and also for the early
baseball training.

VIRGINIA PROTESTS
NEW RAILWAY RATES
Schedule Proposed For January Is
For Virginia and Carolinas
Arouses State Commission

Richmond, Va, Jan. 8.-Protest
against the proposed increase in
freight rates between Virginia and
North and South Carolia points was
filed today by the state interstate
commerce commission.
The state corporation commission
believes firm it's study of the rates
which have been filed, to become
effective january Is, that they will,
if allowed to become operative,
disrupt trade relationships that
have existed for many years, divert
the commerce of Virginia cities
elsewhere, and he an unreasonable
burden upon the shippers of freight
in the three states"
In its. protest the state commits
sion points out there is nothing in
the recently adjudicated rate cases
to. justify the higher scale, that
the increases will amount to from
Is to 40 per cent, varying on dif-
ferent distances, and that there is
no warrant for a general advance
at this time. The federal commits
sion is asked to provide a public
hearing Richmond or Norfolk OF

Philadelphia, Jan. 10.-George
Wharton Pepper, widely known
Philadelphia lawyer, who was ap-
pointed United States senator by
Governor Sproul to succeed the late
Boies Penrose, will be q candidate
for the entire Penrose term expir-
ing in March, 1927, he announced
today. The appointment holds good

Pepper, it is expected, will be a
candidate at the May primary for
the nomination.
Mr.. Peppers announcements
coupled with a statement by the
governor that he expected Mr.. Pep
per to be a candidate for the CON-
plete term, ended speculation as to
whether Mr.. Sproul would himself
run for the office this year. The
governors statement came as q
surprise to some Of his friends. he
had the unprecedented opportunity
of having been twice in a position
to resign the governship to take
the senatorship, first through tie
death of Senator Knox and by the
passing of Senator Penrose. It had
been expected in some. quarters that
he would be a candidate for the
senate and if elected take the seat
after his term of Office expired next
January. -...

pointment. of George Wharton Pep

"'You made no complaint"
Asked why he did not report the
case to Lieutenant Morning of Rich
mond, Fox said:
'That guy would shoot me; he
wouldn't take any foolishness."
Fox gave Chairman Brandegee a
letter from Morning, written from
Casper, Wyo., saying he was "sorry
to hear about Major Opie."
Fox did not want all the letter
read, saying it contained "some
rough stuff"
81 am used to rough stuff in this
case" the chairman said.
The letter quoted Morning as say.
ing he had heard the soldier was run
ming away and that Opie had a right
to shoot, and advised Fox not to say
anything about the case "unless you
actually saw the shooting" adding
that rumors did not stand up in
court.
Banging the table Fox shouted that
he saw Opie shoot.

From Mornings letter he believed
that Opie was justified" said the
chairman.

ter the lawyer.

exclaimed, shaking his finger.

United States.

Washington, Jan. 7.-Unemploy-
ment increased in the United States
during the month of December by a
percentage which the department of

paper industries. Plants which pro-
duce foods, tobacco manufactures,
automotiye products, and repair rail-

BIRTH RATES GIVEN
Japanese Lead With Italians Second,
Chinese Third.

Chinese Third.
Washington, Dec. 22.-The birth
rate per 1000 japanese women in
the United States is 1885. Italian
women follow with 100 per cent. and
Chinese are third with 1865 per cent.
These figures of the census bureau
are regarded as interesting in view
of the fact that the birth rate per
1000 American born white women
is only AZ. The rate for negro wom-
en- is 52.8.
The very high birth rate for Ital-
ians and japanese, the bureau ex-
plains, is due to the abnormally large
proportion of the female population
between the ages of Is and "a years.
