Wehst Listen 70 i.

The Spartan0urg Herald IL
discussing the resignation Of Or:
Carlisle from the presidency of
Wofford College, which he has
rendered to take effect on the
first of June, says eve have new
er for one moment entertained
the thought that DR.. Carlisle,s
resignation as President OF
Wofford College could be &C
cepted. Even if the trustees
under some mental alteration
should accept it, the whole state
from the mountains to the sea,
the whole South, the friends OF
education and the intelligent
and appreciative sentiment of
the whole country would cry
out against it. DR.. James Il.
Carlisle is the most conspicuous
figure in the South today identi-
fed with christian education.
He is one of the few men who
can be set down as great-great
in mind, in heart in force of
character such as leaves an i'm
press upon humanity. We can
not believe that any sane man
would willingly consent to ac-
cept his resignation. Certainly
no friend of Wofford College
would allow it if by any means
it could be averted. DR.. Carlisle
is not old. He is in the prime
of his power, his mind is as vig-
orous and his influence upon
this community as strong as it
ever was. He is indeed a man
whose place cannot be filled.
We feel assured that when the
time comes and he sees the need
for his continued labors at the
head of Woford's faculty, he
will reconsider or else some
means will be employed to av-
ert such a blow as would newt
ably follow his retirement from
the Presidency. There is not a
college in this or any other coun-
try but would honor itself iii
electing DR.. Carlisle as It's head,
even though he was enfeebled,
which he is not. Even with old
age, with bad health, though he
should be decrepid and blind,
he would still occupy a place
that no other man could occupy.
We cannot believe that the
Methodist of South Carolina will
allow such a man to leave his
post, at least without exhaust
ing every resource to keep him
there. The influence of James
II. Carlisle at the head of Wof-
ford is incalcuable in dollars
and cents.'' This is a splendid
tribute to DR.. Carlisle, but he
deserves it all. We join the
Spartanburg Herald in protest
ing against his retirement from
Woford College as it's head. If
need be give him an assistant
who could Tighten his work, but
by all means let the grand, hum
bic christian scholar remain at
the head of old WOfOrd.

John Woods No. exclaimed: Eyer

The policeman who made the origi-

John. The cop was puzzled, but made
a selection, and the other John spoke
up: "De cop is dead wrong" he said
ut was me he pinched tree years ago.
Didn't I tell yer where the stuff was,

The judge was perplexed, and he
sent for a deputy sheriff, who takes

close investigation he satisfied the
court by recognizing Woods, who was
McMann, as his former prisoner. Both
prisoners were sent back to the same
cell once more.

A Good Bill Killed.

The bill to provide for the sale Of
the governors mansion came up in che
House of Representatives Thursday.
Mr.. Rogers moved to strike out the
enacting words. Mr. Gsntt spoke in
favor of the bill. The governors man.
sion can be sold for $50, ,000 Half Of
that money can erect handsome mod
ern home for the governor. The pres
ent mansion is almost a disgrace. 1t
was never intended for q residence,
but was an arsenal. The hill would
turn into the treasury $4,000 IN addi-
tion of the erection of q nice home Oh
property now the States. The vote
was ~ to ~ and the speaker decided
against striking out the enacting words:
The vote was clinched on motion Of
Mr.. CAN'T. Mr.. Richards moved to in
definitely postpone the bill. This vas
carried by vote Of IS to 42 and subse-

What He Says Aboats Conference in
His Omcs.

In view Of the question Of Senator
Manning on the 6oor Of the senate in
regard to the alleged caucus on the dis
pensary, said to have been held in the
governors Office, Gov. MoSweeney has
made statement in regard to tie mat
ter. He says he certainly has no OBJ
jec,ion to the facts being known. He
says: "There was nothing private or
secret about it. I saw that there were
number Of bills relating to the liquor
question being offered in the general
assembly, nearly all of which pointed
to the abolition of the state board of
control, and the conference was held
simply to try to get the friends of the
dispcnsarv 70 agree o.. some plan and
present it, and avoid long and useless
discussion and thus help to shorten the
session. | had no administration bill
to present and have had none. My po-
sition was clearly aud positively stated
in NY message | insisted in the con-
ference that did not wantto be on the
board of control, and SO far as wanting
poser to appoint the board, | never
thought of that, and knew nothing o:
Senator Henderson's amendment until
I heard it read in the senate.
Sat the conference, which was held,
it was distinctly understood that it was
not binding on anyone, and the only
purpose was to try to get the friends OF
the dispensary, holding divergent
views, together and agree on some plan
and thus save the time Of the legisla
turc. I have not assumed to dictate to
the members Of the legislature, nor
have l tried to get them to place more
power in my hands. Neither have !
tried to shirk any responsibility that
was properly mine.
II do rot conceive it improper foi
members Of the legislature to confer
about important legislation and for ef-
forts to be made to get those who are
seeking the same END together on a
plan to accomplish that end and thus
save time aud money for the people.
That is all there was in it. | have not
eudcavorcd to influence legislation fur
ther than to make suggestions, as am
commanded by the constitution in my
annual aud special messages. My ain
has been and shall be to execute the
laws as made by the law-making power.

The Rise In Paper.

The rise in paper is really getting
very serious for the newspapers of the
country ard one by Que they are
announcing that they have found it
necessary to raise the price of their
papers to $l.5O or s2 Oae thing is
certain. The papers cannot afo:d to
send out copies to people who are care
less about paying for it. As the price
is now, many papers are sending out
over a dollars worth Of paper, not
counting the cost Of anything connect
ed with the printing or the mailing for
the price Of one dollar and it is said
that the price is still rising. We are
inclined 20 think that this is a Repub-
lican trust scheme to throttle the inde-
pendent country press that stands as
such a menace to their supremacy

i LARGO AAIlII
England Has TWO Hundred ano
Thirteen Thousand Troops
IN AFRICA TO FIGHT 6OERs.
1t is Beyond Comparison the
Largest BODY Of troops
Great Britain Ever
In the Field.

4 dispatch from London says Mr..
Wyndham's remarkable declaration in
the house Of commons Thursday that
Great Britain will have in q fortnight
to:al of 2l3 900 troops il South Africa
with 452 guns, IS received With wonder
nep.. All arc now there, EXCEPT about
$4,000 that are afoaI. Bcyoad COM
parison this is the largest force Great
Britain has ever put ia,o the field. At
the end Of the Cr;mcan war size had
craped together eighty Thousand men.
Wellington at Waterloo had -: goo.
Roughly speaking only eighty Thousand
men are at the front. Tea Thousand
others have been lost aud l0,0o, are
shut up at Lady>lnith.
Excluding these there arc seventy
thousand troops who have not yet been
in action in addition to those at sea.
Why SO many have not yet been en-
gagged is explained BY the lack Of land
transport aud the origin of supplies to
which Lord Roberts is devotipg his ex-
perience and Lord Kitchener his genius
for details. 1t seems IS though the
weight of these masses must destroy
the equilibrium which now holds the
British forces stationary wherever they
are in contact with the Boer army.
Lack of transports and organization
will not explain adequately why, when
generals at tie front request reinforce.
meDts, they get them in rather small
numbers. Knowledge is slowly pene-
trating to London that large garrisons
must be kept in Cape Colony to hold
down the Cape Dutch who, as every one
knows, eutuumo Ger the British residents

Why CoWs Dry Up.


Cows 60 dry from misnanagemen
more than from any other cause. r.
regularity Of milking and failure to
strip" will cause any cow to dry off.
The richest milk is last drawn from
the udGer, and for that reason alone
the dairymen should strip closely.
Changes Of food, when made suddenly,
will also cause the COWS to fall Of in
Weld; but in 9intea the cause may also
be due to extreme cold and insufficient
shelter, while in summer the use Of
netting in the windows to prevent the
entrance of flies and other insects, will
serve to prolong the milking period

pluck against straitened circumstances
but she is now financially independent
The other day at Denver hotel,
where she was guest, she told the
story of how 10 days ago one Of her
copper claims netted her $4,000. Miss
Eastman is only % years old. She has
always worked for living. When,
three years ago, her uncle left her FIVE
copper claims in Arizona, not far from
Phoenix, she visited her claims TO
learn the value Of her inheritance. She
consulted q lawyer.
"He told me-" she said, 'that the
claims looked promising, but that, in
order to hold them. certain sum OF
money would be required every
mouth. Then I considered where that
money was to come from, as had
none Of my own. So. after failing to
find any other solution. I resolved to
get employment in a hotel. When !
told the lawyer what intended doing,
and how I meant to set aside every
cent that could he spared from my
wages, in order to develop the claims,
he said be admired my determination,
but wondered whether should stick
to it. But it has finally come out all
right, and l guess now shall be able
to live without working so hard" AZ
ter the conference with her lawyer,
Miss Eastman lost no time in getting
a position and spent her savings to
hold her claims. The money came
little at time, but the work pro-
gressed slowy. Her plans for the win
ter are not yet announced, except on
one point-she will not have to Work
as she did last winter.

Cascade Township, Lycoming coun-
ty. has a dog that was stolen by foxes,
and which now lives in the woods with
the sly animals that stole 1t. n. j..
Alaloney, a farmer Of the township,
had had several chickens stolen by the
foxes. Mr.. Maloney was not the only
person who missed some Of bis chick
ems. There were others. Some Of the
nei"lbors waited with shotguns for the
thieves, and four or five foxes were
killed.
Instead Of doing that Mr.. Maloney
put {; siy-mcnth-old pup in kennel
near the chicken coop. He thought the
dog would frighten the foxes away;
but he was mistaken. The first night
that the pup was put on guard the
foxes made :; raid. and. besides one or
two chickens. stole the dog. 1t was
thought that the foxes had killed the
cog: but several nights ago the dog
was seen going along the edge Of the
mountains with two foxes. The dog
has assumed the slyaess CT fox and
can run nearly as fast as the foxes.
