The Right Man for the Position.

Editors IntcUigcncer: Last Tuesday
was a notable day at Clemson, for, be-
sides the Citadel Cadets, there were sev-
Anderson, Walhalla and the surrounding
discipline Of both schools that, with so
large a crowd, everything should have
passed off SO quietly.
understand that President CraiGbead
has resigned, and although sorry 10 lose
him, we cannot help feeling sn interest
in the question of his successor. I spoke
to a number of the substantial men and
farmers that day, and tho general feeling
is, that we must lave u of our best
men TO fill his place. AS you we'll know
there has been much opposition to the
College,; some OF its early supporters
having turned against it. Clemson is so
we'll equipped for firSt-class work it seems
q pity that prejudice should cripple its
usefulness.
IF We could find a South Carolinlan of
high ability and genial manners, who
could go among the people and win their
confidence, + think the future of the Col
lege would be secure. The man for the
place (and there are many who agree
with mel is John G.. Clinksceles, the
present Professor or Mathematlcs. lie
has been identified with the College from
its opening, and has the love and respect
not only OF the faculty and students, but
Of every man in the County who has
cone in contact with him. This is a crit
icsl time With the College, and it is a pity
that such important changes in the fac
ulty should occur Just now. This sick
ness 70: which ordinary care will prevent
a recurrence) will be used as capital by
its enemies, which is rather unjust, for
when a death occurs ct other colleges,
very few outside know anything about
it, while here it is made public all over

J.. Gary Watts for a serious lack Of judg-
ment and disregard of the rights of 9TH
ers." The Court also recommended that
Private Fishburne, of the Richlaud Vol
unteers, be dismissed from the service,
and that Private Dunning, Of the same
company, be reprimanded. Gov. Ellerbe
has carried out the recommendations in
reference to Privates Fishburne and Dun
ming, but he refuses to reprimand Gen.
Watts, and will refer the whole report to
the General Assembly. Notwithstanding
the fact that he is az the head of the State
militia and Gen. Watts is under his COM
mand, the Governor claims he has no
right to reprimand Gen. Watts, who is a
constitutional officer. Here, in our hum.
BILE judgment, tho Governor made a mis-
take. He should have either carried out
all OF the recommendations Of the Court
or ignored all of them and referred the
whole matter to the General Assembly.
Why should he punish the humble pri-
Yates and let the General, who, according
to the testimony of all the witnesses, was
the sole cause of the trouble, escape?
This is not the first time that Gen. Watts
has disgraced his official position and
brought shame to the State, and it is to
be hoped that the General Assembly will
take up the matter and do justice to it.

mistak 9 be made in the selection OF Pres
idsut Craighead's successor. We note
with pleasure that a correspondent in an
other column suggests the election Of
Prof John G. Clinkscales for his place.
we do not know whether or not he could
be induced to saeeetkshs place if elected,
but we do know that it will be difficult
siorthe Board of Trustees to secure a bet
ter and more competent man.. Prof.
Clinkscalss is a most excellent teacher, a
gentleman of the highest type, Of fine ex-

management OF young men, and of per-

n man of his age in the State. We do
not know any man whose administration
would tend more to strengthen and pop
ularize Clemson College in this State. 1t
is true that he is not a professional agri-
culturalist, but we do not think 1t necas-
sary to lave such at the head Of this
school. Why not insist on having q
skilled mechanic or a skilled electrician?
We think all this hue and cry for an ag-
riculturalist for the Presidency Of this
school is made without proper considera-
ton. What is needed is a mana strong
man, a man OF intellect and character
one of many and of good exec
ptive ability. When such an one is also
endowed with a great love for and SYM
patty with young men, and has the gift
of inspiring them with high aspirations,
you are furnished with the proper mate
