CLEMSON AND WINTHROP ARE
ENoUGH.-The Hon. Josh Ashley has
succeeded in having the income of
Clemson college from the fertilizer tax
cut down. Clemson is the best of all
the "higher" institutions, and is doing
better work than any of them. Some
more money can be saved for the
farmers by turning over the South Car
olina university and the Citadel acad-
emy to some private corporation. If
Clemson required pruning the others
surely need transplanting to some gar
den other than the states. If the
friends of the denominational colleges
will 90 to work now they can remove
the unfair competition to which they
are being subjected. We see Wofford
college needs help badly, aud its sup
porters are asking the Methodists of
the state to contribute literally to its
support. The best way to help it will
be to see that the state gives it fair
chance for its life. 1t is as much a
state institution as those in Columbia
and Charleston now supported by the
state. -Greenville News.

New Cotton Mill.
For several weeks past there have
been current rumors to the effect that
another cotton mill is to be erected
soon. The rumor is generally accom-
panied by names of gentlemen of
means who are said to be organizing
the enterprise, and various other de-
tails more or less specific are given.
The reporter for The ENQUIRER has
been keeping in close enough touch
with the situation to know what is 60
ing on. The rumor is not without
foundation but at the same time it is
only a rumor. There is more or less
capital in Yorkville that could be east
ly dNdildOlC ioi ehO Va
new cotton mill. There is enough OF
it to build big mill. 1t is not idle,
or unproductive at this time, and the
holders of it are not at all anxious
about it. Generally they are very
we'll satisfied with their investments.
At the same time, however, there are
among these capitalists some who have
a strong desire for another big cotton
mill. They believe that such an en-
terprise would prove profitable to them
and to the community. Anyhow, they
are anxious to try under conditions
that will be entirely agreeable to them,
and if these conditions can be satis-
fed, then the new mill will be built.
Otherwise, it will not. At least not
the mill involved in the present rumor.
There is absolutely nothing definite,
positive, or tangible in the rumors now
aAoat, and, however much the people
would like to see a new mill, from all
that has been actually said or done up
to this time, the chances as to whether
it will develop are about even.

THE BOARD OF CONTROL.
Interesting Report to the Governor on Dis
pensary Management.

Interesting Report to the Governor on Dis
pensary Management.
The state board of control has SUBJ
mitted the following comments with
reference to dispeusary management
to the governor:
Governor of South Carolina-Sir
We have the honor to submit to you
herewith our report of the operations
of the South Carolina dispensary for
the fiscal year ending December 81,
1899, for transmission by you to the
general assembly.
We are gralitied to he able to state
that this has been the most successful
year, financially, Of the institution
since its beginning, and ask your most
careful examination of its financial
status as shown herein.
As will be seen, the net profits
for the benefit of the school fund
amounts to Sl9S,6S9.49. The net prof.
its to the towns and counties amounts
to 1920, 1925. Total net profits for
the year, 4,l81.S4.
For the purpose of comparison we
call your attention to the report for
1898, which shows that the net profits
for that year amounted to 1922, ,653. AZ,
plus S37, ,S91.31 of losses Inherited from
and properly chargeable to our prede-
cessors, making total net profit of
$500, ,54473, which shows an increase
for 1899 over 1898 of S113, 3,637.1l.
AS experience is gained in handling
the business of the dispensary, the net
profits increase, as is seen by review
of its affairs since it began to operate.
The Tiilman-Traxler administration,
covering period of 10 months,
made net profit Of 1925, ,32S.40. The
Evans Nixon administration made in
IA months $313,974OS. Thirty-three
months of the administration of the
state board of control up to December
81, 1898, made SS53,2l9.95. The past
years management by the board, as
shown in this report, the profits were
S414, 4,1Sl.S4. Total net profits since
July, 1898, 81, ,7O6,7O427.
The above shows that the increase
in net profits has been rapid and con.
tinuous. And, besides, the business is
now on the best basis that it has ever
been.
At the close of business on December
81, 1899, our liabilities for purchases
were S121, ,2OS.1S. Cash in state treas

BRITISH WIN AN ADVANTAGE.
After Several Days Fighting They Take
Spion Kop.

After Several Days Fighting They Take
Spion Kop.
Since the last issue of The EN-
oUIRER, there has developed consider
ably more light on the nature of Cen
eral Buffers movement toward Lady
smith.
1t appears that the first objective
point was high hill known as Spion
Kop, which had heeu strongly fortified
by the Beers. The contest for the bill
was long and fierce; but the British,
after three days of continuous fighting,
succeeded, on Tuesday night, in get
ting a permanent foothold.
The fighting continued Oh Wednes'
day, the Beers making repeated ef-
forts to regain what they had lost ;
but the Brisish managed to retain all
the positions they had won, and get.
ting command of still others.
According to the British view, Spion
Kop is the key to the relief of Lady
smith. They claimed that with the
capture of one more position, divers
Hack pass, the Beers will be unable to
remain in Natal but will have to re.
treat into the Transvaal and the Or
ange Free State. The relief of Lady
smith, they say, will follow without
more fighting.
The New York Journal of Thursday
morning prints a dispatch from Presi.
dent Kruger which reads as follows {:
"Do not place too much reliance on
British reports of the battle of Spion
Kop. The British have taken only a
small portion of the Kop. The Beers
are still fighting"
