HIS LAST MESSAGE.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.

college, but why or wherefore Is q
matter fer your own speculation.
President Cralgbead comments upon
the fact that one half Of his students
are in the preparatory department and
assigns as MS reasons that boys can
not OBTAIN at home a good preparatory
education. If this cannot be done,
each county or each congressional dis.
trict should have at least one school
where boys and girls could be fitted
for college at cost not exceeding that
at Clemson. The facts will not bear
out the president in this for there is
not county IN the State that has not a
high school that could not prepare
boys to enter the junior class at Clem-
son and upon terms equally as rea-
sonable as that afforded at the college.
The best evidence OF this is the fact
that the South Carolina college has a
higher standard than Clemson with no
fitting school and its enrolment of
studeats equals Clemson should be
abolished instead of coming in com
petition with the high schools Of the
State. The State supports the free
common schools, and there is no rea.
son why the people should be taxed to
support high school at this college.
Make the college what it ought to be
"a high institution of learning-and
do not FIJI it up with boys anxious to
don uniform and be placed upon a
footing with college students, and |
believe the college will be more pros
porous. The buildings and equipment
OF this institution are the equal Of any
in the south and the State has spared
no expense in making it success.
In fact, it has been the idol of the Re
form movement and the people have
dealt with it with a lavish hand and if
there is any failure to fulfill the ex-
pectations of the people. the blame
must rest where it belongs-upon the
shoulders OF those charged with its
management. The income OF the col,
lege for the past year is as follows:

COST OF ATTENDANCE.
'sIt has been the aim of the board,
in the organization and management
of the college, to bring the best educa.
ton easily within the reach of people
of limited means, and they believe
this has been attained. Board, includ-
ing furnished room, light, heat and
washing, is furnished at eight and a
half dollars month; $3.50 for the
entire session. With the matricula-
ton and medical fees and cost Of
books, and forty dollars for tuition,
added to this cost, the regular expen.
ses of session of nine months amount
to only one hundred and thirty-one
and half dollars. Music, elocution
and art are optional and extra studies,
an6 small fee is charged those who
take either of them.
Under the Act establishing the
college pupils unable to pay are ad'
mitted free of tuition. But free tut
ton is given only upon a written
statement by the parent or guardian
of inability to pay, certified to as cor
rect by the county auditor, except IN
the case OF the States scholarship stu
dents and daughters Of ministers.
This rule is rigidlv enforced.
The average to:ui expenses OF
free tuition student last session was
Sl11.42 for the full nine months, anc
if one spends more than this amount
it will be for extras, entirely optional,
or Tor personal expenses, for which
the college cannot be held responsible.
We feel that weare Justified IN claim
ing that very few institutions offer as
many advantages at so small cost as
Winthrop College. "

SECOND DORMtIOEY.
ssln our last report to the General
Assembly We called attention to the
pressing need that existed then OF
more room to board the great number
of students applying for admission at
that time, but we thoug ut it best 10
await Developments before recon-
mending that additional dormitory &C,
commodation be provided. Since that
time the pressure for admission to the
College has not only continued, but
has increased, and there IS every rea.
son to believe, from the experience OF
similar institutions in sister Southern
States, that it will continue to increase.
Being the only State College for Wo'
men in South Carolina, and there BE-
ing more women than men IN the
State, it is safe and reasons ble to estl.
mate that the legitimate attendance at
this institution IN the future, if room
is furnished to accommodate the stu
denis, will be equal to the combined
attendance Of men, something like SOC
or 600, at the three State colleges for
men. The fact IS greater percentage
of women than OF men attend hign
school and colleges, because they have
more leisure for il, and then It has
ever been the boast Of South Caroiini

AN ABLE POLICE HORSE.
Hc Can Count Up to Six and Perform
Other Fcnts.


The clcverCgt horse on the New York
police force il Pompey, whose register
ed number on the books of the depart
mc.:t is 1873. Let any hose or police
nav who disputes this statement step
ard and prove to the contrary.
Pompey gave IN exhibition of his tai
ents for the benefit of The Sunday Jour
nal. He can count and understands or
dinary conversation. He is, in fact, al
most as intelligent as n policeman.
He is the stced and inscparable COM
paniun of Roundsman Rodlrnd p.
Kcrcsey of the Thirty-eighth precinct,
which is in the annexed district. POM
pey is remarkable not alorc for his tai
cuts; he has also Il history, which is
full Of human interest
His intelligence developed 50 rapidly
that KorC Y began 60 teach hin % few
tricks. Ho would tickle him u.der the
right fore lCg with straw AID say,
"PCmpcy, give me your right hand. "
At first the horse would raise his lex to
avoid the tickling, but soon he learned
TO do the su@c thing merely wlcn he
heard the wo.3s "light hand.
Tho same pIccess taught l..l 'n offer
his left foot when politely ae.,d to do
so His education went on steadily, and
he learned TO rui-o his right or his left
hind lag 1T mere word from his mas
ter. Eoycscy made the horse understand
that '-hcu he used tho word papa in
conversation he referred TO hims'lf-
Kcrcscy. Thus the policeman would
say, "Givc para your right hand" and
the animal wc.!d understand perfectly.
The horses name also was varied occa-
sionally to "Papa's Boy.
An interesting feature Of PompcJ's
education was the rGl idity with which
he acquired knowledge. In two weeks
he raised his right foot when told to.
His teacher had fewer difficulties than
most men who train animals. Dogs arc
usually found to be iuattentiye and un-
duly cSubcrant. The superiority Of tho
horse lies not in greater intelligence,
but in greater docility.
The next stage was to make Pompey
say eyes" or NO" A tickling on the
side Cf the neck caused him to move his
head sidewisc. This was accompanied
by the command, Say no." Finally
the tickling could be omitted. A titllla-
tion of his chin taught him to move his
head up and down, which meant yes.
After this Pompcy began to learn to
count. \ light whip was placed OH one
of his forelegs near the ground. He
raised the leg to avoid the obstacle
and tapped the ground lightly Keresey
at the same time said, Count one. "
Then he counted one without the use of
the whip. This process was continued
until Por pcy was able to count six,
which is his present state Of proficiency.
'Say, it's @ o'clock, time for relief, "
says Keresey, and Pompey gravely
scrapes his foro foot six times on the
ground.
He takes two steps to the right or left
when told TO do so, and III fact has sc
many accomplishments that they can
not all DO enumerated here. New York

CINCINNATI, July 31.-The Times-Star

Chicago express on the Cleveland,
Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis rail-
way. due in Cincinnati at z a. M, was
wrecked at $50 o'clock. Four were
killed outright and several slightly in
jured.
There was deliberate plot to wreck
the train. as coupling pin had been
driven into the switch so as to hold it
open and throw the fast train from
Chicago to Cincinnati off the track as
it passed this point. The engine and
tender, the mail, express and bag
gage cars were thrown from
the track and wrecked. The
coaches and Wagner sleeping cars
remained on the track and none of the
passengers were seriously hurt al
though they had a lively shaking. 1t
is reported that none in the cars that
were thrown from the track were seri-
ously hurt.
the engineer, and B. Crickmore. the
nEGmdu, hUO Two uu1OCQIluSQ GEdmDS
were killed outright.
The officials of the Big Four state
that no passengers were hurt at the
wreck at Thorntown. The fatalities
are limited to the engineer and fire.
man and two tramps. None of the
others on the train were seriously
hurt. When the train left Chicago
Thursday night at eight o'clock it was
an unusually long one. Only four
stops were to be made between Chicaro
and Indianapolis. The train was passing
Thorntown at high speed when the en-
CINE struck the switch that had been
opened and fastened open. The two
tranps who were killed were stealing
ride on the front end of the mail car,
and their remains were not identified
A relief train was sent from Indian
apolis to Thorntown.
