FEVER At CLEMsoN.
State Board of Health Will
Examine Into Causes,

To find out the real causes, what
ever they may be. of the fever at
Clemson college. the State board Of
health has been asked by the authori.
ties to make thorough investige
ton. There are several theories.
One, secuted by doctors, is that the
pIowing up of some bottom lands at
some distance from the college is re-
sponsible for the malaria while still
another theory attributes it to the
water. The latter seems to be dis
posed of by the fact that though the
professors get their water from a
different source than the students yet
fever prevails in their families. The
thought of escaping sewer gas for 3
time had everybody going about try
ing to detect its presence, but the
fresh mountain air dispelled this
theory Lastly the fever has been
attributed to the milk used. Wheth.
er or not this is correct has not yet
been learned. When the State board
of health finish the real cause may
have been detected. if it is sewer
gas some of the keen scented scienti-
fc smelling gentlemen will be sure to
trace it to its source.-The State,

Now. what authority has your church
to forgive my sins for fifty francs ?"
THAT is too large subject for US to

laughter that followed, and the dioner
