Clemson College.

AS q Trustee under the will of the late Mr..
Clemson, | naturally feel a deep interest in
this institution, and it must be gratifying TO
the friends of agricultural and industrial ed
~uration to know that, although the buildings
are not near completed. the roll OF applicants
for admission to the school already numbers
so.
There had been spent up TO the end OF
the fiscal wear, October 81, 1880, in the erection
Of buildings Sl7,0SG So and during the fiscal
year ending October 81, ls9l, sion, 1920, maxi

the Trustees felt that it was obligatory upon
them 10 enlarge the plant so as TO afford The

necessary accommodations: and this has nee
esSarily Increased the cost above previous eS-
Inmates. After a careful and thorough cam
vaSs of the material on hand. with Tie work
remaining to be done, IL is found that S65,OOO
more will be needed To- complete the building
and partially equip the college. AS we are
building Il school which evidently supplies Il
long felt want, and the State IS receivinga lib
eraI amountof money f1om the United states
government for It's maintenance. we nave
deemed IL proper to build substantially and a'
cheaply as possible while providing all mod
ing apparatus, water works. electricity for
lights, power and the study OF electrical engl-
neering. and everything else which Will be
necessary for the largestand best agricultural,
mechanical and industrial school In the
South.
The announcement has been made that the
school will open in February, but l think IL
hardly possible TO open that early. unless we
have an exceptionally favorable Winter for
building. Owing to the fact that we nave
been unable to sell the Agricultural Hall. the
Trustees are low out Of money and In order
not TO lose time or allow injury, which would
necessarily follow cessation OF work, we nave
borrowed $40. 900 on our individual notes with
which to prosecute the work. / Informed you
in my inaugural address last December that
it v Guild be possible TO build the school WIN,

II, and IL will depend upon the action OF the
Legislature whether the school shall open In
March or not.

This result, which not satisfactory, Is In no
wise attributable To the present manage.
ment, which has accomplished all that was
possible considering the adverse conditions
under which the Institution has laborcd the
year. When the present manage.
ment assumed control 1t found contracts eX-
listing with the Canal Trustees and the own-
ers of the farms worked on shares, when
they were obliged tn fulfill. Experience soon
that the compensation allowed for
the work on the canal was barely enough to
pay for the maintenance ana guarding OF the
prisoners In it, and although Il little advance
in the rates was obtained the Work mas yield
ed very little or no profit.
The farming operations, owing to extreme
ly unfavorabie seasons and the low. price OF
cotton, nave also lett Il very small margin.
The cana is completed, and it Is sale To say
that 1t has cost he state Of South Carolina
not less that $500, OO0. This amount she has
presented to the City OF Columbia in lieu OF
sou horsepower developed at the Penlteiltl-
airy but we will hope that the increase IN
property values, which are expected 10 result
from the development of the water power,
will in time reimburse the State. There Is
one contract for q year still TO be fulfilled, The
work being on shares, but the Directors have
decided that In future they will only farm
out the c0nvicts for q net sum per capita 10
contractors, and they will bend all their en-
ergies in farming to the development OF The
Stale farm in Sumter County, known rs the

Phosphate Commission.
In accordance with n provision OF the Act
creating the same, the Phosphate mis-
sion, of which the Executive is e1-lGiciO II
member, was organized in January last, and
we made an extended and thorough inveSti-
CATION of the phosphate Industry. The

seemingly insurmountable) can be obtained

selves of the vastnesS and value OF the depoS-

ton in q day than could be derived in any
other possible way In any length of time,
and IL would be of lasting benefit to the State,
for the information obtained would be thus
disseminated over the State, and the people
at large come to understand, at least In Il de-
gree, what d valuable heritage we have In

REMARKS.

1t will be seen that the Counties of Charles
ton, Colleton, Hampton, Williamsburg, tlor-
ence, and Berkeley, have no Poor House at All.
Notwithstanding Section SIo.. which Is manda-
iorv. requires the County officials to provide
one, This accounts for the large number OIL
patients (makiug II virtually q Poor House
for that County, from Charleston who are
dumped on The Asylum, and emphasizes the
argument advanced in my inaugural requir-
Ing each County 10 support its W inmates
in that institution, The County or Richlahd
follows the same method to some extent, nj.
though it has an Aims House in the city of
Columbia, costing Sl,CN annually for support.
There is no tillable and belonging to 1t, as re-
quired by Section sIS, Revised statutes;
Richlaad, with a population OF 3b,Sj!9, mas oO
inmates in the Asylum, being second on the
list. Charleston has l03, while its population
is 59,S37. Spartanburg has AZ. with a popula-
ton of 1881 and while this County spends
$1,000 on paupers at home, Charleston spends
SH0. Comment is unnecessary. -,
Before dismiSSing this matter L would call
attention 10 the unreasonably and unaccount-
able differences in the amount of cost for
Poor Houses in the different Counties.
The ~Penitentiary.
The r eport of the Board of Directors and
Superin tendent show this institution to be In
a healthy condition. The number OF con.
vicIs this year Is 793, as compared with .l
last year. Attention has been pail 10 'h nf
the prisoners, the good results of which are
shown In the decrease in the death rate.

Educational.

The Report of the State Superintendent OF
Education makes Il full exposition OF the con-
dition Of the educational institutions OF the
State. Our free schools are not In a satlsiac-
Tory condition, and never Will be until the
present unwieldy, irregularly shaped districts
are subdivided. and small, compact ones SUBJ
stituted, In which shall be permanently loca-
ted one school house for each race. ms Is
the basis upon which local taxation supple.
menting the two-mill tax can erect Il school
system that will accomplish the ends desired,
and until it is done little or no progress VIII
be made except in the towns and lhickiy pop
ulated sections of the country. l would urge
you not to adjourn again till you take up this
matter and perfect the law.
The State is making Il Tar greater outlay Tor
higher education than some of her sister
States, but the common free schools alone are
accessible to nine out of ten children within
her borders. They should receive the foster
ing care OF the Genera! Assembly, and l Know
of nothing which would give the cause OF ed

THE ClILIAN COMPLICATIONS.

1t looks now as if the CHILEAN difficulty,
which was at first. no doubt. magnifed by
the administration for the purpose OF making
Republican capital, will DO quietly and ami
cably settled without any further trouble or
excitement This is as il should be- Had
Blaine not permitted MS natural inclination
for jingoism and buster TO run away from
him in the first instance the whole aaair would
have passed oil without any special attention
being directed to Il. That Chill should have
been called upon to make apology and repara-
ton tor the contempt which she exhibited
towards the United States by the willful and
murderous attacks made by mob OF her citi-
lens upon American sailors is most true. But
that such demand should have been
made in the bullying tone which Secretary
Blaine adopted WAS entirely uncalled for. 1t
was simply an exhibition Of childishness and
blackguardism combined -childishuess. be-
cause it was a poor attempt TO call attention
TO the administration, and blackguardism. be-
cause it is always the evidence OF vulgar cow
ardice for the strong TO bully the weak,
whether 1t be among individuals OF govern
ments.
A war with Chill could. under any circum-
stances, only have resulted in discredit to tho
United States. for even had they whipped
Chill at the outset. the world would imme-
dlately have said that it wac no great thing
for any powerful country to oyerwhelm
small one. Tn the other hand. if Chill should.
a. nh lr oh. lov 10
temporary advantage in her own waters over
our lily equipped navy, she would have re-
oeived the plaudits of Christendom. even
though she should eventually have been COM
PEELED 10 surrender at discretion.
IL is fortunate for the United States, there
fore that this affair promises TO be speedily
adjusted by diplomacy Nevertheless it
teaches lesson which the people Of the
country would DO we'll 10 heed Had the
United States possessed an effective navy not
even Great Britain would have dared 10
assume the arrogant attitude towards her
taken by the little South American republic.
Under the last Democratic administration
the nucleus for such navy was started but
under the present Republican regime efforts
IN that direction have practically stopped and
although the large surplus in the Treasury
might usefully have been expended in placing
the United States in position TO readily main
tain their dignity against the world that sur
plus aud millions upon millions Of dollars be-
sides, was recklessly scattered broadcast
throughout the North for partisan purposes.
This is the great lesson which the people
should learn from this Gillian business The
Republicans may think flat this is a billion
dollar country. and that the people can and
will stand imposition and robbery to any ex-
tont. But there is limit to everything. and
If Republican cOruptionist4 and destruction
lists do not take care they will find some day
that the tax-paying millions have reached the
point where patience has ceased to be virtue.
