The Farmers College.

COLUMBIA, June 9.-The members of
the bonrd of Trustees Of Clemson College
returned to the city this evening and re-
port that everything will be in readiness
on the Sth of July for the formal opening
of the Farmers College. There were
twelve out of the thirteen members of the
board present, Senator Redfern finding it
impracsicable to come from his home in
Chesterfield. The most important busi-
ness wts the election of president. For
months the trustees have been looking
around for the right man. It was thought
that by this time selection could be
made. It seems, however. that there is
difference Of opinion as to who is the right
man end when the board decided to tenn
porarily give up the solution of that prob
lem there was an exact division OF the
sentiment in favor of the selection OF
Prof. Craighead, of Wofford College, and
Prof. Murphy of the Arkansas Agrlcultu-
raj College. At the out set there were
number Of candidates, but the race soon
narrowed down to President Cluto, of
the Michigan College, and Prof. Murphy,
Of Arkansas, and Prof. Craighead, of
Spartan0urg. The two last ballots were
evenly divided between Messrs. Craig
head and Murphy. The board decided
to postpone the election and If possible
have personal interviews with the candl-
dates. There were number of other
names suggested for the same position, but
they merely received complimentary bal
lots.
Prof. Stonewall Tomkins, of the
Virginia Manual Labor School, was
elected assistant professor in tho mechan-
ical department and will have charge
of the civil and mechanic engineering
chair.
Prof. j. F. Moncreath, Of the Abbeville
graded school, was elected tutor in mathe-
mates.
The board passed mum Der of orders to
pay for expenses already incurred and to
meet those for the opening of the College.
1t was definitely decided that the College
would be opened on the 9Th of July, and
it is announced with authority that there
will be plenty of room for all that wish to
enter the institution. Those who have
any idea of attending Clemson need have
no fear on the question of the lack of ac-
commods.tion. The work Of cleaning up
the premises has been started, and when
the students arrive at Clemson they will
find there brand new and bright little
village.-Special to Ne,ps and Courier.

Judge Bond to tho Rescue.

It is pretty we'll established that some
interesting developments in dispensary
matters will be heard Of in the near fu-
ture. Sorae time ago the NeacS and Cou-
rier announced that preparations wore
making for a new fight against the Evans
law, and row it is we'll established that
that prediction is about to be fulfilled.
A gentleman, who said he got his infor-
nation straight from one of the retail Ii
quor dealers of the city, told a reporter
yesterday that in few days two promi.
nent young lawyers of this city would
leave Charleston for Baltimore, where
they proposed to apply to Judge Bond for
an injunction to prevent the State from
closing the barrooms until q chance had
been given Of testing the constitutionality
OF the law before the United States Su-
preme Court. Should Judge Bond grant
the restraining order the matter would
have to rest where it now Is until some
time during the next winter, when the
Supreme Court will have chance of de-
Gliding it orce for all.
The movement Is being made under
the auspices of the retail trade, and it is
said that neither trouble nor expense will
be spared III carrying it through. They
are, moreover, reported to be very san
guine of the success Of the scheme. Deal
ers who secured their licenses for the en-
tire year ara iuhilant, while those faint
hearted parties who got out siA months Ii
censes are Eow feeling very sore over the
matter.
Nobody knows. of course, exactly what
arguments will be presented to the Judge
but it is sail that the attorneys referred
to are confident that they have good
case, The retail dealers seem to think
that If the law is prevented from going
into effect until after the Legislature
meets next fall that that body will ac-
knowledge she errors Of its ways and re.
peal the ACT.
AS there is now very little time left for
action it is thought that these develop
ments will take place within the imme-
diate future. The gentleman who furnish
ed the information thought that the next
few days would settle the whole matter
one way or snother.-News and Courier.

Church vs.. Dispensary.

UNION, S. c., June 10.-The Baptist
church is the first church in this tow II to
taxa any action in regard to the Evans
law, and To warn its mem bers
not to assist in any manner in the estab-
lishment Of dispensary in Union.
At the regular monthly conference of
the church last night the deacon referred
a resolution to the conference. asking
the church to pass upon it. The res0-
luton was unanimously adopted and read
as follows:
"'Ne, the members of the Union Bap-
tst Church, in conference assem- bled, de-
sire to emphasize the belief that the whis-
key tarfIic is evil in its influence and
inconsistent with Godliness. We there
fore earnestly disapprove OF our mem bers
aiding or abetting the dispensing Of
whiskey in our midst, officially or other
WISE"
Mr. n. +. Scaife then rose and made
few remarks concerning the dispensary
law. He began by saying that while he
did not disapprove of temperance organ
izations, he thought that the church
would accomplish more good if it's men,
bers would stay out of temperance organ
izations and Christian Endeavor societies,
and concentrate their efforts and fight in
temperance through the church. He said
he was glad ais church had put itself on
record US being opposed to the dispensaIy
law, and he begged the mem bers not to
aid the business in any way, aud to keep
their hands off,"
Mr.. Scaife said that it seemed to him
that u great many Christian people and
proh1bilionists had taken the place Of
the liquor men, by taking sides with the
dispensary law, and encouraging whiskey
to be sold that many church members
would sign petition for the establish
ment Of q dispensary if they saw the
signature of some Financial SWELL" or
influential mans name on it. He called
attention to certain man who is on the
board of control for this county-who in
the past has been fighting intemperance
more than any other person in this COM
munisy, and man whom the liquor men
feared as their worst enemy, who, If a
liquor dispensary is established here,
would be chief book and bottle inspector
of the concern. He concluded by saying
the law tyrannical and oppressive.
Rev. Mr.. Booth, the pastor of the
church, endorsed what Mr. Scaife spoke,
and warned his members not to sign any
paper for dispensary at this place.
1t might be mentioned in connection
with this that Thomas K. Palmer who is
working to have dispesary here, is
member of this church.-SpeciaI Dispatch

Just Like Last Year.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 1O.-Rsturns
of correspondents of the statistical divis-
ion Of the department of agriculture Juno
1st, show that over large portion of the
cotton belt the termination and develop
ment of the plant have been retarded BY
cold weather and excessive rain, the
latter having also the effect of retarding
the working Of the belated crop. In some
localities dryness prevented successful
planting and much of the seed failed to
come up IN consequence, and it is report
ed that the second planting was to con-
siderable extent failure. Along the
Mississippi and in Louisiana much injury
has been caused by overilows. In other
localities early planting is assigned as the
cause of poor stands, while no inconsid-
cradle injury from cut worms, lice, etc.,
is also reported. The prospects of good
crop in much of the cotton territory are,
however, improving in consequence Of
more favorable weather. The average
condition of the crop in the consolidation
Of the reports is $3.50 compared with 95.9

Remarkable Incident.

It is not generally known that e3 Pres

with being pick-pocket. The Atlanta

He gave the alarm and City Marshal q.
T. HunDioutt, and his deputy, Ben Will

that quiet, unassuming man had occu-
pied the seat with Noble, and after short
search they found him, placed him under
arrest and carried him to Washington
Hall.
The stranger took his arrest very quiet
ly and said ''Is not Allison Nelson

The arrest Of a person charged with
picking pockets was unusual In Atlanta,
and the prisoner was surrounded by a
gaping, staring crowd.
The mayor came, and as lie crossed the
threshold he glanced around the room
until his eyes rested on the prisoner.
With shout of Joy, his arms out
stretched, he sprang forward.

of the Interior Department is determined
that the clean sweep that will be made by
Secretary Carlisle of all Republicans in
the department shall be surpassed in the
Interior Department. There is not q
Republican oficeholder whose Office can
possibly be made vacant against whom
charges have not been filed or will not be
fled. The assertion that no removals
will be made except for cause, though
violated as it is every day in the depart
ments, has had the result of flooding the
Offices with charges Of all kinds against
the Republican incumbents. In the
General Land Office there are now only
two Republicans remaining who are not
protected by the civil service law. The

other bureau under Mr.. Smiths jurisdic-
ton will be reorganized by the end OF

The official records Of the Post Office
Department show that during the first
three months of the present administra-
ton ending June 8, the total number OF
fourth-class Postmasters appointed was
6,537, of which 4,672 were to fill vacancies
caused by designations and death, and
1856 by removals. During the cores
ponding period in Mr.. Harrison's admin
istration the total number appointed was
1925, or 1856 more than were appointed
during the last three months. Of these
2,859 were to fill vacancies caused by
designations and deaths and 5,567 by re-
movals. The number of appointments
made on designations was therefore 3,O13
greater during the first quarter of the

was 1902 less during the last quarter

What is Your Prospect for
Fruit I?


The Jersey Fruit Journal tells lis
that We are to have the biggest fruit
crop ever known in this country.
Already arrangements are being
made for the largest Canning business
ever recorded.
What are you going to do in the
matter? Let your fruit fall and rot
on the ground and buy of your neigh
bor or grocer? No! You can't af-
ford it. Better, by far, "let each tub
stand on its own bottom"
Can your own fruit. Be sure to
Can what you need for home use.
Then, if you have time. Can some to
sell your improvident neighbors,
There are always sure to be some
who never prepare for the future,
They are like the drones in bee hive.
Some one else must furnish bread for
their mouth and oil for their vessels.
Why not you?
Right here let us say q word that
will save few cans of fruit and
great deal of vexation: If you want
to use your old jars, get new rubbers
for them. The rubbers cost you very
little, and you will not regret the out
lay. Your fruit may keep with old
rubbers, but it is much safer with
clean new ones.
Get the original and genuine Ma
SON JAR, and trust to the good
sense of your thrifty wife for the bal
ance, and you'll be sure to have plenty
to eat next Winter, if you never have
it again.
We have limited supply Of Fruit
Jars and extra Rubbers.
We trust all will be supplied, but
can't promise to hold goods for late
coners.
Hoping that the grain crop will
only be as good as the fruit crop is
sure to be,
