The Majority Rules.
Col. J. A. Hoyt Does Not Side With
Judge Haskell.

GREENv1LLE, S. c., Sept. 80 in
terviewed Col. Jas. A. Hoyt, ex-
Chairman of the State Democratic
Executive Committee, tonight on
the manifesto of Judge Haskell.
Colonel Hoyt said:
In regard to the letter of Judge
Haskell published in the News and
Courier of to-day, I can only say
that it does not surprise me at all
and that it is consistent with the
position maintained by Judge Has
kell for several months. It is need
less to say that I do not agree with
him and that / think it suicidal for
any portion Of the Democrats to take
such a position. Captain Tillman
and associates were nominated by
the Democratic. State Convention
regularly convened under the law
fully constituted authority and repre-
senting an overwhelming majority
of the Democratic party in the State.
These gentlemen were not my choice
for the position occupied by them
but they were duly chosen by the
representatives of the Democracy,
and I am bound to support them at
the polls because they are the nomi-
nees Of the party.
BY this course 1 do not endorse an
iota Of the charges made during the
campaign by MI. Tillman and 9TH
ers, nor uphold for a moment the
SANDERS and Misrepresentation of
the past six months. Z am not one
whit less opposed to the methods
pursued by mlen to get into office
and control public affairs, and will
not abate my opposition to such
methods within the Democratic lines.
/ am going to vote for Mr.. Tillman
as the choice of the majority, who
have a right to govern and direct the
affairs of the party. That is allthere
is in it, according to my judgment,
unless proposed to join another

President Strobe, of the Clemson
College, in a letter to the Palmetto
School Journal, after describing the
progress Of the work at Fort Hill,
gives some interesting -s2cts about
that institution: =
"The plan now is to open Clemson
for agricultural students one year
from now and at the end of another
year to have mechanical hall, etc,
ready for reception of students in
this department. ALI the rough
work here is being done by Fifty con-
victs, furnished by the StaSe. This
diminishes very much the cost of
building.
can immense number of visitors
come to Fort Hill to see the work 60
ing on and the Calhoun relics. Nearly
one hundred in one day was the re-
cord once. There seems to be no
~lessening in the interest in this line.
"For the information of your far
mer readers I will state that the
course ct Clemson will be-planned
for the reception Of students who
have gone through the ordinary pub
lie schools of the country. Others
who have had better advantages can
begin higher. 1t will be so arranged
that any farmer who can afford to
have his son at home doing nothing
can afford to send him to Clemson
College. The full faculty Will not be
selected until next summer. All of
the important members Of the fac
ulty will be selected with great care
from men who have already made g
record for faithfulness and ability
It is the hope and expectation Of
those having the fortunes of the Col
lege in charge that it may be recog
nized in a very short time as the
leading Agricultural and al
College Of the South.

Tacoma Ledger: Here 10 q grand OPP
portunity for q member Of our state
legislature to immortaliEe himself" J. d.
Mcintyre, chief engineer Of the Yakima
Irrigating Canal, said yesterday at The
Tacoma. Gan that IL required 10 man
who will introduce and push through the
legislature bill similar 10 the Wright
bill, which has given such unqualified
satisfaction In California. After forty
years Of struggling, the Wright bill
solved the irrigating problem in that
state. II was passed In 1887, and pro-
vides that every community Of farmers
may petition the county commissioners
to order an election to pass upon the
question Of irrigation or no irrigation. II
an irrigation district Is formed, FIVE men
are chosen TO supervise construction Of
the bitches. They are placed under
bonds, as are also the contractors en-
ployed, SO you see there Is no chance for
any swlndling.
"Since the Wright bill became law In
California over sl5 ,OOO, 600 has been spent
by the farmers in irrigating their lands.
At present they are making $500, 900
worth Of irrigating improvements month
ly. c. @. Wright. q farmer, conceived
the idea Of forming the district irrigating
scheme. These districts are allowed by
the bill to issue bonds, the interest on
which is secured by q tax upon the lands
irrigated, the principal being secured by
the land itself. The bonds sell readily in
San Francisco, Chicago and New York.
They are considered gilt-edge. Under
this arrangement the farmers get the ben
eft Of any profits which would otherwise
60 to corporations owning the irrigating
systems. In Eastern Washington there
are 10000, 900 acres Of land which with
out irrigation are comparatively worth
less; with irrigation the land would be
worth $50 per acre. That, you see,
would result in valuation Of 500, 000,-
900. These are facts, not theories. Some
Of our Legislators might better be pushing
such scheme than frittering away their
time on senseless nOthings. It is 4 praC-
teal project and in my opinion the only
solution Of the irrigation problem in this
state"
Mr., McIntyre In the chief engineer for
