The Trouble Mt Clemson.

Tho annual meeting of the board of
trustees Of Clemson College, held this
week, was an cvcntlul one. The board
WAS in session one whole day and two
nights.
The resignation of Prof. Newman,
which was called for, was presented ard
accepted. The board had requested his
resignation upon tho grounds. they say,
that there could be no harmony between
the professor and the board and presi-
dent. The cause Of this friction cannot
be ascertained. The mem bers of the
board will talk hnt very little about the
matter. Prof. Newman presented an
explanation of his course since be has
Virginian. He was formerly connected
with the Department of Agriculture of
Georgia, before he went to tho college in
Auburn, Ala, from which institution he
came to accept tile position at Clemson.
His resignation will take effect on Feb
ruary /, and o committee of three was
appointed to look up aud select man to
succeed him.
Mr.. R. w. Simpson was reelected
president of tho board of trustees, and
DR.. P. II. Z. Sloan secretary.
An Executive Committee to serve the
coming year was elected consisting Of
Messrs. Simpson, Norris. Bowen, Don.
aldson and Bradley. This committee
will also act as the finance committee.
The committee on the experimental
station consists Of Messrs. Norris, DON
aldson and Bowen. The State fertilizer
department was left in charge of Cover
nor Tillman, Secretary of Suite Tindal
and Mr.. Wannamaker. The members
of the faculty all hold over. The board
authorized the faculty to elect two tutors,
if they think their services necessary.
An appropriation of $1,000 was made
for the establishment of a printing de-
partment ct the college, the object being
to print the circulars Of tho fertilizer
board, etc., while at the same time teach
ing many students the art preservative.
The engineering force of the college
was instructed to make complete sur
vey of the bottom lands around the
college on Seneca river, with the object
of erecting dykes to protect them from
overflow; also to survey and estimate for
constructing a spur railroad track from
the main line of the ATLANTA and Char
lotte Air Line, 90 that supplies, etc., can
be brought direct to the college. The
board intends to build this track.
The completion of the dairy was order
cd, as was also the enlargement of the
III echanical hall. The president was also
ordered to purchase another electric
power dynamo. The erection of the new
wing will cost only about So, 500.
There are GIG applications on file for
admission to the college, exclusive of the
young men who attended the session just
closed. So far 26O of the 40 who attended
tho college last session have signified
their intention of returning.
The members of the board say that
during the last three months Of the ses-
sion they fed the students for 81 per
month each and gave them good substan-
tial food, and had no complaint.-Cott'n-

South Carolina Tea.

It has long been theory that the soil
in this part of the State was peculiarly
adapted to the production of teas, co flee
and spices, but until Prof. Shepard, the
pioneer of scientific tea farming in So nth
Carolina, put the theory to the actual test
the matter had been purely question Of
speculations.
Al the present moment, however,
there is no longer any room for doubt.
The attempt has been made to produce
saleable article of tea in the lower portion
of South Carolina. and the effort has been
crowned with success which reflects the
greatest credit upon Prof. Shepard and
the other prime movers in this new in
dustry. There is at present fer sale on
the Charleston market q groat quantity OF
neatly gotten up packages of green tea
from the tea farms in Summerville. 1t is
said that in flavor the beverage made
from it resembles the celebrated Oolong,
and is equally as fragrant and grateful TO
the taste.
The tea is thought to be ar excellent
article both as regards bouquet and
strength, and in price considerable cheap
er than the imported article. 1t should
also be borne in mind that naturally the
tea will improve as other seasons are ad-
ded to the aye of the plants.-Ncws and

A Child's Terrible Death.

A little four-year-old white boy died
in Columbia last night with all the
symptoms of that terrible disease, hy-
drophobia. DR.. Frank Green was with
the child when death came to end his suf-
ferings. which, however were not OF the
worst form.
It will be remembered that something
over month ago the State published an
account of the attack on this little boy, a
son of Mr.. J. w. Roberts, who lives at
the fair grounds, by mad dog, and told
how the little fellow was lacerated by
the brute. The dog escaped, but was later
killed.
AS time went on the little fellows
wounds healed up completely and his
parents never thought Of the matter any
more. Last week he had slight cold
but recovered from that entirely. Two
or three days ago he became affected in q
most peculiar manner and DR.. Green was
called to attend him. The physician
found he had no fever nor any other
symptoms OF ordinary trouble OF any
Kind. He was delirious soon after no
became ill, and his rawlings were heart
rending during Wednesday and yester-
day. He frothed at the mouth and dis
played other symptoms Of hydrophobia,
though they were not 30 pronounced, the
attending physician says, as would have
been expected. Perhaps this was due to
the tender age Of the child. When in
delirium he died. DR.. Green says it is
the most peculiar case that ever came
under his notice.-Columbia State Jan. IL.

What the Reform Leaders Have to Say.

Those leading men of the Reform party
in South Carolina who happened to be in
the city yesterday morning, lay in bed
and read Senator Irby's card to the news
papers. And they smiled when they
met brother Reformers and talked the
matter over.
A few days ago when the State and
other newspapers published the facts in
regard 10 the division Of forces In the
Reform ranks, not even the men who
gave the information had an idea that the
condition of affairs as there detailed would
40 soon be substantiated by declarations
from Senator Irby himself.
Every one talked about the Senator's
card yesterday. Some Of the State House
officials were mad, and some OF the lead:
ers went so far as to express the belief
that the Senator was 'not quite himself
when he wrote the document. They
seemed to think that he allowed his per-
sonal animosity toward some of them
lead him to make bluhder. But Sena-
tor Ilby may prove that he has not put
his foot in it," as they say.
The Reformers have resolved to ask
Capt. She'll and his committee to be
campaign com mmittee.
The Reformers seem to think that Irby
Is sore because he recognizes that his
power ia gone beyond recall.
Mr.. j. w. Bowden, editor Of the Cotton
Plu,,t, which paper is the mouthpiece OF
the Alliance, talked for publication more
freely than any one else. He is the man
who wrote the editorial suggesting Capt.
She'll for the leader of the majority fac
tion, and calling for the holding Of q
March Convention. He said:
"There isn't any ring about it. The
only approach to ring that know OF in
the Reform ranks was headed by Irby.
It was Just his kicking and interference
with matters that he had no business
with. don't miud saying just here that
most of the men that Irby has been
counting on as being his most faithful
friends are deserting him. don't know
where he got his information, but there
was no set conference of Reformers here.
When the Reformers come to the capital
they usually get together and there's
always more or less talk and that's ABOUT
all there is to it."
''Do you wish to say anything in reply
to this card ?"
mo, I prefer to let him kill himself.
If he makes few more moves of that
kind he will be the laughing stock of tho
entire State and effectually uitch himself
forever. I think that his attack on the
State officials is absurd. There's no ring
there against him that know OF. The
trouble with Irby is that he is big man
standing still while the world moves
around him. He only sees what his
narrow contracted view permits him to
see. think his attack on Ellerbe very
unjust and wrong, without any founda-
ton in fact. I do not sec how he can
help referring to Governor Tillman as
being in the ring too, for he speaks of the
State House ring, and it is pretty safe to
say that nothing goes on or about the
State House that tho Governor knows
not of. I did not think that 1rby
would cry out so soon in the campaign.
In regard to his suggestion of honest
men, we'll, that is a suggestion that every
one naturally makes. All men are con-

Leasing Of COnyicts.

Yesterday there was q regular meeting
of the board of directors of the State PEN
itentiary at the institution. The ses-
sion was long one. Most of the
business was of routine nature. All
the contracts for the lease of convicts for
the present year were approved.
The leasing CT convicts has assumed
greater proportions this year than has
been known before perhaps. There are
1,O5O convicts now serving sentence. All
of them have been leased out with the ex-
ception Of $50, who are kept within the
prison walls. Many ofthese are employ
ed in the hosiery mill under similar con-
tracts. Tho number quoted as being
leased out includes the squad which the
institution is required by law to keep at
Roc,A Hill for the purpose of working on
tho normal college. The others are leas-
ed on farms in various sections of the
State. perintendent Neal requires
each lessee to erect O comfortable stock

institution, is supplied with several suits
