We see a good deal in the newspapers
about Scruggs, and his Influence in the
management of the dispcnsary. One
paper speaks of him rs the power be-
hind the throne. Il it possible that q
man who has been discharged from the
service and who is under criminal in

using goods that did not belong to
him-is it possible. we say, that he is
still controlling and directing the af-
fairs Of the dispensary?
The whole dispensary business is in
bad 'dor. The quicker we can wipe
it off the face of the earth the better it
will be for the honor and reputation of
our State. Nearly every body who has
been connected with it has either been

Clemson College is unfortunate in the
sickness among the students. This is
the second time there has been an cpl
dcmic. President Craighead says there
IS no need for alarm, but "ne death and
thirty or forty students in the hospital
with malarial fever, is cause for alarm.
1t is true that the young men are liza
ble to be sick anywhere and also Liable
to die, but there must he some local
cause for malarial fever Tint could be
prevented with proper sanitary pre-
cautions. And the health of the stu
dent body should be of first concern in
an institution Of this kind.
We hope the young men may al
speedily recover and the work o. the
institution move on smoothly.
