Washington, Sept. 12-Prof. Elmer
Gates of Washington says he has worked
out a process by which objects can be
magnifed to a size 300 times greater than
by any of the microscopes now in use. His
invention, he claims. will revolutionize mi
croscopy, and will advance science to a
point hitherto undreamed Of. His discov-
cry. he says, will be of special value in
bacteriology and the study Of the cellular
tissues. The professor declares that he
has succeeded where all other scientists
have failed--in discovering way by which
the magnified image projected on tense
can be magnifed by second as II 1t
were the original object. To do this has
been the aim of scientific photographers
and microscopes for many years. Prof.
Gates does not take the public into his
confidence sufficiently TO divulge the de-
tails of his invention, but he says he will
be ready to give 1t to the world In few
weeks. The power of the new instrument
Is mentioned as 5000, 900 diameters.

AT each attack the slaughter was so
great that by the time the third at

was with me on Lees Hill, became un-
easy when he saw the attacks so
promptly renewed and pushed forward
with such persistence, and feared the
tederals might break through our line.

Col. lrby, getting permission to in

him for his affiliations with so MANY
parties. he again excused his alb
sences from the Senate on the ground
of sickness and death in his family.
Senator McLaurin continued on this
aggressive line for while longer and
then proceeded to make his usual tariff
speech. His speech in all lasted about
two hours. 1t was frequently applaud

Before taking his seat, McLaurin took
a hand primary on his taritl views.
About one-half showed their approval
by voting. 1t was after o'clock when
Senator McLaurin had concluded. The
audience at once began to leave the
court house for dinner.
Then Mr.. May field arose to speak.
MIR. Maytisld made his characteristic
ahtl-dispensary speech, but in addition

THE TRUSTEES MAKE ANSWER.

AhO SohciuSlOnS Oh the state lJOarC
OF Health are Not Accepted as tc
the Nature and Causes of tn,
| sickness.
Concerning the report OF the State
Board of Health in regard to the fever
at Clemson College, the Board Of Trus.
tees makes the following statements
The Board of Trustees OF Clemson
College, mindful of the important
trust in their charge, feel called on to
make statement for the information
OF the people OF the State in regard to
the recent sickness at the college and
It's causes.
We have read the report Of the
State Board of Health, and have also
had under consideration the report of
the college surgeon, DR.. Redfearn. In
addition to the light thus thrown on
the subject, we have made Il personal
examination Of the college buildings
and the surrounding grounds, and we
are not satisfied at all as to the nature
of the fever which has prevailed or as
to its cause.
We have great respect for the
scientific ability and learning OF the
State Board OF Health, but we are
bound to question their conclusions
from the fact that eminent physicians
in the neighboring counties have de-
clared the fever at the college to be
malarial and not typhoid in its nature;
and there is grave doubt whether moro
than four cases Of typhoid fever have
have been at the college this year.
The cursory and imperfect exami-
nation made by the State Board of
Health is shown by the fact that two
palpabe errors are made in their re-
port. The dairy, which they place
under the ban as a probable cause OF
disease, was not built on a pond which
had been filled in, and there is not a
single privy on tho surrounding
hills " above the dairy. The water
from the only privy in the neighbor-
hood reaches the ravinc below the
dairy. Then the statement is made,
three separate times, that the water
closets should be outside the barracks
and not inside, and should be "detach-
ed y from them. In fact, the water
closets were removed from the build
ing more than two years ago, and they
are now detached, with an open cur
rent OF air passing between. They
are reached by latticed gallery
fifteen feet long, and there is no pos
sibiltty of sewer gas getting into the
building.
" But we are not disposed to criti-
else the State Board Of Health, and
will carry out all OF their recommcn-
dations that are possible, and leave no
stone unturned to allay all cause of
doubt as to the proper sanitation of the
college buildings and grounds.
We haze never had any trouble
before, and we anticipate none in the
future other than the usual climatic
and unavoidable diseases Of the coun-
try.
The vacation will be changed,
and instead Of being in the winter
will be in summer, the scholastic year
beginning hereafter on the second
"Wednesday in September and closing
the second Thursday in June.
Every suggested or possible cause
of fever will be removed and the build
ings thoroughly disinfected and put in
good order.
We do not hesitate to give assur-
ances that the college will be guarded
against recurrence Of the trouble, if
IL be possible"
