George Ard.

Conductor Ard was one of the most
in the service of the company-a man
whom everybody liked. Up to a week
ago lie was General Yardmaster of the
company i'll this city and resided with his
family, wife and four beautiful and
promising children, at No. $40 South
Rampant street.
He was about 40 years of age and had
been in the service of the company for
master, and in other capacities. He was
considered a most competent and efficient
man, one who thoroughly understood his
business.
Last Sunday he left his home with no
premonition of danger or death, and his
little daughter Mamie accompanied him
to the Illinois Central Depot at Magnolia
street. He left the little one few mo-
cried most bitterly, although assured that
her father would return shortly. When
Arid did return the little one would not
be comforted, and chung to her father,
begging and entreating him most piteous-
ly not to leave her. Il don't want my
papa to go away she sobbed, and it
seemed as if her heart would break.
When Arid did leave her, he promised to
! return the following Sunday, but the
child refused to be cOmforted and wept
all the time on the way home. She acted
as if she knew she would never see her
dear papa again-and she never will see
him alive again. &.
George Arid was member of the
Knights of Honor and also of the Knights
of Pythias in this city. He was making
preparations to remove his family to Nc
Comb City, where he designed locating.

Farm Operations in Illinois.

We make the following extracts from a
private letter from MIR. X. Babcock, an
Illinois farmer, whose visit to Brook
haven was recently mentioned in these
columns:
WATAGA, ILL.,, April %, 1886.
B. I. Hobbs, Esq:
DEAR SIR-Thanks for your compli-
mentary notice of our visit to Brook
haven. fear it was too fattering of us,
but not of Col. bennett or his farm.
We stopped one day in st. Louis and
arrived home on the 9Th. Found plenty
of SnOw banks along the fences, and the
weather made US quite chilly, but in two
days the snow melted and it has remain
ed warm. There was not a green thing
visible-not leaf on willows or a flower,
except a few snow drops. Now every
thing is green and our grass green and
luxuriant. Our horses, cattle and hogs
are fat and fine, with plenty of hay in
the barn, corn in the crib, and oats in the
bin-which makes US feel that We live in
land of plenty.
Our SOLVE buy no fertilizers here
had just thawed out, and was so black
and so awful muddy and sticky l almost
feared to step on it, but it has now dried
up and become firm, and is now in good
workable condition. Am just through
sowing oats and am now blowing for corn
This seems late to you, but to plant by
May LIST is In good time here.

A Frse Tuition Compromise.

There appears to DO n strong desire for q
compromise upon the question OF free tuition
in the South Carolina College. but il is difficult
to arrange q basis upon which such compro-
mise shall be made, hence wide breach con-
tinucs to exist between those who favor free
tuition and those who have heretofore vigorously
opposed II. There is, however, we are pleased
to say, q spirit Of concession growing in both
parties, provided middle ground can bo found
upon which both may stand with satisfaction to
themselves and for tho most effective diffusion
citizens OF tho State.
Both parties are now near enough together
to agree that some provision should DO made
for free tuition to those of our worthy young
men who are desirous of obtaining q thorough
Collegiate education, but are not able to pay
for 1T but where to locate the dividing line
between those who are able to pay and those
who are not, appears to be problem hard to
solve.
Another stumbling block lies in the way of
satisfactory arrangement is,-shall the doors
of the State College be open for free tuition to
all poor young men who may be worthy and
prepared to receive il, or shall only limited
number from each County be allowed, as in the
Citadel Academy:
The solution Of the free rui,i.~Aq4 stion
seems to hinge upon harmonizing tho two
points, t. e., who aro able to pay, and shall the
number Of free students be limited.
Asw would extend the benefits Of higher
education to the largest number possible, we
ore decidedly in favor of an unlimited adms-
sion Of free students, after strict examination
as to character and Advancement in prescribed
studies.
As to who are able to pay, we would suggest
that II be decided by the tax book. Parents
who pay taxes upon, say, $4,000 or over, or
| minors whose property is assessed. for that
amount, may not be entitled to free tuition in
the State College, but oil others, sons of
| citizens or orphan residents of thi.As<ate,
to be admitted to the College free of charge
for tuition, after passing the necessary exami-
nation. We further hold that as the State
| College is supported by the heaviest tax payers
in the State, they have just claim upon its
| benefits, and the tuition fee should be rs low as
q proper regard for the efficiency of the ipsti-
| tuition will permit.
Understand us, we do not offer this compro-
mise with the idea that it will reduce the taxes
Of the poor people, for wo do not believe it
| will; but VIC find growing belief in the minds
Of many, who claim to be of the poorer class,
that "the rich people Of the State are getting
from the State College something that they do
not pay for,' and we offer it for what it is
| worth. We further refer our readers to the
communication in another column over the
| signature Of TRUTH" showing how little tho
the College and Citadel both cost the poor
people to maintain, in comparison with the vast
amount of good they are doing to all classes
| and conditions of our citizens.
