Wade Hampton and the Colored
People.

Rev. DR.. Edward Cook, well known to
many of the people of New England as for
ten years principal of The Wilbraham aca-
deny, but for the past three years in
charge of Clafin university at Orangeburg,
s. c., is on his way to his summer home at
West Newton. Passing through Spring
field, he was interviewed by the Repu5H.
cans reporter, who says:
she CDR. CO Is quite enthusiastic in
speaking Of Gov. Wade Hampton's position
shown in his favorable attitude toward
education. The school with which DIR.
Cook is connected was established for the
benefit of the colored people by private gen.
crosby, and the colored legislature supple
mented this by devoting to it the national
appropriation for agricultural education.
They also admitted colored students to the
state university at Columbia, thereby prac'
tically ruling out all white students, and
the action of the Hampton government was
awaited with interest to see whether il
would go 80 far in the other extreme and
exclude colored youth from educational
privileges. Its course, however, inspired by
Gov. Hampton, has been most judicious.
The state university has been temporarily
closed for lack of an appropriation, but will
be reopened as soon as the state finances ad'
NIT as a white college, and the Clatlin uni
versity is granted an appropriation of $500,
as much as could be expected in the pres
ent condition of affairs.
Gov. Hampton fully appreciates the ne
cessity of educating the colored people, and
is rapidly gaining their favor, while retsin n
ing the almost unanimous support OF the
whites. In fact, Hayes and Hampton both
have almost unprecedented popularity in
the Palmetto state. DR.. Cook is very EN-
phatic in denouncing the course of the fiery
