ance Companies.
Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 23.-Eugene
Moore, late State auditor, yesterday after
noon pleaded guilty to the charge of EN-.
pezzlement of $3.50, 900, being money col
his four years term Of office.
His attorneys filed Il motion. for n rest
of Judgment, which will be argued in
three weeks. Moore's action in pleading
guilty is with the understanding that he
committed no crime under the statutes.

shall be paid to the State treasurer, and
by paying the money to himself Moore
contends that he is answerable to the in
surAnce companies only.

Filth, and Not the Lord, is RESPONSE.


BILE.
Last year fever was epidemic at Clemson
College, and this year some thirty.six stu.
dents are sick OF fever.
There seems to be some disposition to dis
regard this matter and make light OF 1t.
Blu this afhiction Is neither TO be denied
nor concealed.
There can be no doubt thai there Is a cause
for this sickness.
, 1t is the duty Of somebody to look into the
cause without a moments delay.
Selfpreservation would dictate the pro.
prfety OF parents refusing to send their sons
back there until the cause is ferreted out-for
cause there must be.
Nobody who Ia fit to remain out OF the
lunatic asylum will deny that there is cause.
the day has passed for blaming the Lord for
the presence Of that fever which can alone be
attributed to filth. 1t is filth, and not the
Lord, Thai makes typhoid fever. There is no
disputing this fact. Ten chances to one the
water at Clemson is impure.
Clemson has had more sickness in two
years than has afflicted both Erskine College
and the Due West Female College since the
war.
The certificate OF the college physician at
the Due West Colleges would 60 to prove hat
he Is s~tarving-at least, as far as the student
patronage Is concerned.
Don't blame the Lord for the presence of
filth In our water.

PRESIDENT CRAIGHEAD.
A Call for Him to Remain-A Former
Pupil Pays q High Tribute to Ii
Distinguished Educator.

The friends and admirers Of President
Craigheed, OF Clemson College, note with
much regret his determination 10 leave thai
institution.
1t is by 10 means pleasant to know that
the educational interests OF our state are TO
suffer the loss OF q man who Ia so polished
and whose education Is 80 finished, but above
all, one who possesses a character so worthy
OF emulation.
It was the writer's privilege to sit, during a
space OF two years, at President Craighead's
table and enjoy his instructive and refine
conversation, and we feel that 1t would be
nothing less than q lack OF patriotism to fail
to lift up our voice to call on him to recon
slider his action and also to express the hope
that the trustees Of Clemson will demand, In
such terms that he cannot refuse, that he re-
main and serve that institution.
President Craighead Is the son Of q prosper
Gus farmer of Missouri. He graduated at
with one voice to guide her prosperous course
into greater prosperity: After leaving Cen
trail College he entered Vanderbilt University
where he spent several years. After finish
ing his course at this institution he was elect
ed President OF a large and f1ourishing insti.
tuition OF learning In Tennessee. In this po-
sition his ability as a director of students
was shown by the success he attained. But
possessing that truest of all ambitions, a de-
sire to cultivate the mind, he resigned his
position and sought the atmosphere of the
sometime in this congenial employment after
which, on a visit to Rome. he was confined
with smallpox. for several months In a hospi-
tai In that city. During his stay In this city
he became we'll acquainted with the language
OF that country. 1t was his purpose TO perfect
himself in Greek, and the study Of Greek in
Germany and France necessitated IL perfect
knowledge Of the languages Of those two
countries.
Aside from his mental attachments he has
the happy faculty of endearing himself to all
who come In contact with him. This Is evil
denced by the fact that whenever he goes on
Wofford College campus, where he served as
professor Of Greek 30 acceptably for several
years, the students turn out en- masSe and
gave him q rousing reception.
Unlike man. college professors, he does
not stand on that platform which lifts one a
little higher than most men. He Is congenlal
with men OF low estate, still he Is q man
among men.
The success with which he has met at Glenn
SOD, an institution which was almost entirely
experimental, the law, order and discipline
he has established and maintained in
this college shows the wisdom Of the trustees
in selecting him and If they succeed In keep;
ing him, Clemson n our State may well
feel proud. u.

casion being the address OF Hon. j. H. Miller,
or this city. to the Philomathic and Franklin
socleties. The address was q most able one,
the orator speaking on a variety of subjects
mat were OF especial interest to the students,
and arousing among his hearers an unusual
degree OF enthusiasm. The audience fire.
quently expressed their appreciation by ap-
plauding the speaker.
