In HOT WATER.
University Management is Get
ting in Deeper and Deeper.


Run-How Lists Of Students should
be Made Out Kindergarten Ought TO
be Exposed Sensible Remarks From
Charleston.
Mr. Mansfield of the Charleston Ga
zette again rises to make few re-
marks about the present management
of the University which is coming in
for such splendid share of just crit
icism these days. Among other
things in an article published few
days ago he has the following:
The management of the State Uni
yersity appears to be daily getting
deeper into hot water on all sides
If the average lay citizen were ask
ed to express his views as TO the I'M
DERIVING causes of the chronic troubles
of the State University, which at the
present time appear to be approaching
the acute stage, he would probably
say among other things, that the in
stitution is run in entirely too indie
pendent way; too much as If it were
little state or kingdom to itself; that
too great stress is laid on securing
students merely to swell the list of
attendance; that the increase IN num-
Der of students is exploited too much
and too constantly, and is incidently
accompanied by just a little too much
booming Of certain members of the
faculty, that the corps of instructors
is SO very numerous as to make the
institution appear top heavy and sug-
gest that it is being run to supply
places rather than to afford opportuni
ties to earnest and bona fide students
and finally that for these and other
reasons the present management has
not succeeded in obtaining the entire
confidence of the people at large, nor
of their representatives, the legisla-
ture.
If the faculty of the University
would publish in its next catalogue
single and connected list of all its
students, placing opposite each name
the proper residence and age, the date
of entry and departure, and all the
studies pursued, the general public
would be able TO set apart to them
selves the kindergarten and the other
purely ornamental school features of
the institution, and form some idea as
to the genuine average number OF
students per year that are getting
what is ordinarily considered a uni
versity education. A publication OF
list of this sort would also show in
what proportions the different sec
tions of the State are represented at
the University Itmight also remove
a widely spread suspicion that the
present attendance is very highly ex
plotted if not padded.

In Controversy and the Suits are
withdrawn.


The suits which were pending in
the circuit court between Judge
Johnson and Prof. Corbett and Rev.
Edward Price have been compfomis-
ed. The former bought the land in
question paying one thousand dollars
for the property and all the suits have
been withdrawn.
The lots of Judge Johnson and
Prof. Corbett were graded so that
Mr.. Price claimed damages. They as
serted that he had failed TO drain his
land properly and that it was sliding
in on them in consequence and they
sued him in turn. The result would
have been very complicated in case it
had come into court The cases were
compromised as 'related above and the

HE SAID IT.
Admiral Sampson Reiterates
His Now Famous Morgan
town Speech.
States That ne Came Here For The Pur-
pose of Saying it-Makes 1t Stronger
Than at First Washington Telegram
States That There Never Was ANY
Secret About The Matter.


Secret About The Matter.
The speech Of Admiral Sampson at
this place in which be stated that
Shafter did not deserve the credit for
the surrender of Toral but that Chad
wick did deserve it having brought it
about by letter which he wrote and
Shafter signed without changing it In
the slightest has created a sensation
all over the country. Numerous tele
grams have been sent into this place
asking to have the speech verified.
This has been done in several instan-
ces and then the sensation began.
Admiral Sampson has been asked
out the matter and he has repeated
what he at first stated here maxi
ing it stronger if possible@ There
will be bad blood between HIM and
Shafter and the result of it all will be
that Shafter will lose all the credit
that he claimed for the Santiago sur
render and Chadwick will gain it.
The present status of the scrap will
be seen from the kilograms below:
New YORK, October 18.-A Boston
special to the Times says Rear Ad-
miral Sampson, now in charge of the
local navy yard, has made another at
tack on Gen. SnaIJer, ampnIylng his
statement made at Morgantown, w.
Va, that Capt. Chadwick is entitled
to the credit for Toral's surrender by
saying that Shafter did not under
stand the situation because of ignor-
.ance. To reporter he said:
"When | made the speech at Nor
gantown ] had considered carefully
what intended to say, and | will re-
tract none of my statement, for they
are all correct | said that Shafter
was not capable of understanding the
results of the battle because OF his
lack of proper education, and | will
say SO again. 1t was solely through
the efforts of Capt. Chadwick that
Toral surrendered as soon as he did.
Heretofore it has Deen Jnougn6 tnat
it was Shafter.
Sin his report to the war depart
ment Shatter gives himself the whole
credit, neglecting to even mention
.Chadwicks name. This | did not
think right, and / determined to cor
rect the matter as soon as | had the
opportunity. Gen. Shafter has used
his utmost efforts to give the impress
sion that it was he, and he alone, who
forced the surrender Of the Spanish
troops. / wish to correct this impress

The case Of Carr and others against
the Battelle OH Company involving
some leases in Battelle district has
been set for trial in January by Judge
Jackson. Since bringing the suit the
territory has been shown TO be worth
less and Carr wished TO abandon it.
However since be has claimed it he
has gotten himself into such shape
that he will have TO pay the costs of
the suit II he backs down and may
have to whack up If it goes on and
the Battelle people are holding up their
side. They want the matter decided
and let it go at that. At first it was
thought that half million was in
volved in the suit. Now it practi-
cally amounts to nothing.

an ver-abundance of battalions bat teries and war-ships vainly struggled to keep pace with it. These are facts, un- denied and undeniable.
 But we are told that there are certain populations in distant lands to whom It is our duty to carry the blessings of llp- erty and civilization, and that this may require larger armies and more war ships However laudable such pur- pose may be, if sincere, it behooves us as sensible men soberly to consider the consequences of the attempt. l have al- ready spoken of the armies of reVolu- tonary France, that went forth to tight for general liberty and that conquered for despotism It cannot be denied that these French armies brought to some ot the peoples they overran certain beneh- cial reforms. But with those reforms they brought foreign rule. and most ot the Liberated" peoples found foreign rule more hateful than they found the reforms benefcial and they availed themselves of the first favorable oppor- tunity to throw off the foreign rule of the "liberators" with great slaughter
 We may tlatter ourselves that, as con querors, we arg animated with purposes much more unselfsh and we may won- der why not only in the Philippines, but even among the people of Porto Rico and of Cuba, our benevolent intentions should meet with so much sullen disfa- vor, The reason is simple. We bring to those populations the intended benefit in the shape of foreign rule, and ot all infiictions foreign rule is to them the most odious, as under similar clrcum- stances it would be to us. We have all ready seen in the Philippines the begin ning-for it is a mere begnning-of the resistance to foreign rule by one of our
 'liberated" peoples--a bloody game far from exhilaYatirg.
 We are loudly told by the advocates of the new ploicy that the constitution no longer fits our pres snt conditions and as-
 prations as a great and active world
 power, and should not be permitted to stand in our way Those who say so
 forget that it is still our constitution;
 that while it exists, it's provisions as in ! terpreted by our highest judicial tribu- nal are binding upon our actions as well as upon our consciences: that they will
 be binding and must be observed until | lley dlS ClaIlSeu III tue lie'iliei piS- scrihed by the constitution itself for it's amendment; and that if any power not granted by the constitution is exercised by the government or any branch of it., 1 on the ground that the constitution
 ought to be changed in order to fit new conditions, or on any other grund, usur- | patton in the line of arbitrary govern- ment is already an accomplished fact. And if such usurpations be submitted to l by the people, that acquiescence will be- 1 come an incentive to further usurpa- | tions. which may end in the complete wreck of constitutional government. 1 Such usurpations are most apt to be acquiesced in when, in time of war, they appeal to popular feeling in the name of
 military necessity, of the honor of the flag. or of national glory.

me one morning, smiling good-naturediy
as usual. After greeting me and inquir-

child, you have saved some little money
on this tour" told him yes
''Now, l would like to borrow that lit
tie from you.

quest, for he said nothing whatever of his
loss. Still, he had been so uniformly kind
and generous, and had won our confidence
and regard so wholly, that I could not
hesitate. turned over nearly all l had
and he gathered it up and went away,
simply thanking me. OF course 1 heard
of the defalcation later. 1t was all around.
Our salaries went right on, however, and
in a few months the whole thing had been
quite forgotten, when he came to me one
morning with money ready in his hand.
ITO pay you what owe you, my DEAR
ooh, yes" 1 said, 80 and so much"
naming the amount 49,
Here it is" he said, and handing me
over a roll of bMls, went away. OF course.
1 did not count it until little later, but
when did found just double the amount
1 had named, and no persuasion would
ever induce him to accept a penny of 1t
back.
