From the first bout it was plainly
evident that the Georgia team could
not withstand the powerful rush and
skillful plays of the Clemson team.
Clemson has fine team, and have won
every game they have played this sea-
son. They arc the champions Of South
Carolina.
The Washington correspondent Of
the Columbia Register, under date OF
the 25th inst. says. ''lt is reported
that Adjutant j. II. Grant. First South
Carolina Volunteers. has been offered
the collectorShp OF customs at San
Juan. Porto r co. and that he has been
given until january to decide whcth-
er or not he will care to accept the
position. AT the White iiousr and
War Department in this city nothing
could be learned III regard 10 the rll-
NOR. At the White House it is said
that at present there is no arrangement
Tor such I'M Office rs collector OF cns-
toms ut San Juan. and that Congress
would have to provide tor it by lcgls-
lation. AS nothing IS expected 10 be
done at this session Oh Congress; ralil-
tive to the government of ollr new pos
sessions. there is much doubt rs to the
authenticity of the statement concern

A few days ago Mr.. W. y. FAINT re-
ccived the following letter from Mrs.
J.. j. Halsey, of 3Oi Belmont Ave.
Chicago, ILL.,: This last summer my
neice. Mrs. David Bcllottc. OF Florida,
sent me Il slip from Il paper stating that
you had found among some old papers
one in which my grandfather, Gen.
Robert Anderson, had signed his name
as security for some one. Now. | will
consider it an especial favor it. you can
get that paper and send it to me. My
son, John j. Halsey, who is Il Professor
in Lake Forest University, is trying to
get all matters connected with my
grandfather and would like to know
if there are any other papers there that
mentions Gen. Anderson. He and
Gen. Pickcns organized the first Pres
byterian Church in upper South Caro-
lima, which is the Old Stone Church,
near Pendlcton. am Il sister of Mrs.
Joseph Harris, who died near Town
Vile"
President Mckinley has appointed
Mr.. John X: Cochran, Jr.. Postmaster
for Anderson. This announccmentcamc
through the daily papers of last Thurs
day, and was quite a surprise to our
people. Col. NJ. i. Tribblc. our present
Postmaster, was appointed in January,
1896. and his commission gives him four
years from that date, which would
make his term expire in January, 1900.
Heretofore, precedent has always al
lowed all POstmaStcrs appointed by
the President to serve their full term,
unless some charges OF incOmpetency,
neglect of duty, etc, could be made
and proven against the official. In this
instance nothing of the sort has been
done, or at least Postmaster Irlbble
has never been notified of any charges
being preferred against him, and he
has a right to demand the reason for
his removal. He has made an efficient
Postmaster, and our people want to
see him serve his time out. AT the end
of his term change. OF course, WAS
expected and Nh Cochran was expect
ed to be his successor.
