The other Alliance Congressman from
South Carolina were too sharp to utter
any such foolish remarks, and they will
have some influence with the powers that
be in Washington. Mr.. Latimer's utter
ances released every true Democrat from
his obligation to support him in the
general election, but for the sake of peace
and harmony he was not opposed, as it
was known he could do no harm in Con-
gress. His utterances have placed him
in just the same position that Tolbert or
Russell or Tom Watson, would have
occupied, had either of them been elected.
Mr.. Lasimer's position and utterances
have done much to encourage tha Third
party element in the upper section of the
State, and we hope he will see the error
of his way and concldde to fight his
battles inside the Democratic party-the
party of the people-which demands

The Columbia correspondent Of the
Ne,os and Courier says: "The meeting
of the trustees of Clemson College on
Friday for the first time in months had
every member Of the board present. The
meeting had been called to make the
report to the Legislature. Chairman
Simpson will prepare the report. 1t was
the sense Of the board that an appropria-
ton be asked to finish the work on the
College. Unless the Legislature makes
the desired appropriation the board states
that it will not be able to open the College
next Spring as contemplated. tits desir-
ed that the Legislature send special
committee to Clemson to look ever ths
premises. The board soys that it invites
inspection and hopes that the State will
see what has been done. The work is
very well advanced. The I've houses for
the professors are nearly completed.
Three Of them are already occupied. The
dormitorY is practically completed and
the main building is well advanced.
Unless the Legislature makes an appro-
ipriation things will be much delayed
and complicated" We think the Legis-
lature should grant the appropriation
asked for, and let the College be COM
pleted as soon as possible. It has been
standing in its present condition long
enough. It is thought that $4,000 will
be sufficient to complete the work.

A western capitalist says: sour pow
erty is rather comparative than real. We
have men with incomes OF 100000 year
and moro. Besides those colossal for
tunes the man who supports family
on 50 week appears poor indeed. And
yet man may support family very
comfortably on So a week if he will set
properly about it. They may have snug
and cheerful rooms, comfortable clothing
and plenty of healthy food. The great
trouble in this country is that me n
acquire luxurious habits before they are
able to indulge them. Tho man who
earns but S1.50 day must have his
toddy and his cigar; must patronize the
barber and the street cars as though he
earned five times that sum. His wife
and children must dress as expensively
as those of men with twice his income,
and the result is that instead of being
happy and independent, he is ever be-
tween the devil of pride and the deep
sea OF debt. ALI Americans expect to be
rich some day; some fortunate turn of
the tide is to bring their long-delayed
ship to port, and they go on living be-
yond their means in anticipation of that
good time which Is always coming, but
seldom arrives. l am not theorizing; I
have lived on SO week and supported a
family. We were just as comfortable
then as we are now. We were just as
rich, for we had everything that we
actually needed, and paid. cash for it."
