Senator Depew of New York has
taken the liberty to name President Nc
Kinley for a third term. Mr.. Oepew is
a star as an after-dinner orator and be-
cause of his eminence in this line he is
seldom taken any other way. There is
no cause to consider seriously his nomi.
nation of President Mckinley for third
term. That is a question which has
been settled by the American people,
and it is likely to stay settled.

Somerset's Senator Weeks made one of
bis witty speeches at the Poland Springs
House Saturday evening. This is what
the Portland Argus says of it; "Senator
George G. Weeks of Fairfield made the
bit of the evening. 1t was good enough
toprint in full, but stenographers were
scarce and so it can't be put into cold
type The audience alternated between
laughing and applauding during the
utterance of his witty talk. He said at
the outset that he was born within a
mile and half of Kennebec county and
he was just that distance removed from
being eligible as candidate for Govern
Or. And the crowd roared."

HE HAD THE CASH.

He lacked refinement, culture, grace
He had no charm Of form or face,
To see him read would pain your
sight,
Twas misery for him to write.
And yet, like all that's human, he
Had one trait OF humanity
And that the best, might here state
At making money he was great.
Wherefore around l!im all men ilocked
And women, too, and were not shocked
: t things he'd do or things he'd say,
IN mis- rough, coarse and brutal way.
They merely smiled lnduleently,
Aud said allow free from guile is he
He doesn't have to try to please
We love his eccentricitics."

preparation at sat least $150,OOO," "
while the general Appropriation

THEs. G. C.I.
INSTITUTE E.

The South Carolina Co-Educa-
tIonal Institute is about to close
the most prosperous session in the
history of the Institution. During
the present session over $50 stu
dents have been enrolled repre-
senting ten states, 167 of these
students are boarders. Last sum-
mer thousands of dollars were
spent in enlarging and better
equipping the buildings. 1t was
then thought that ample room had
been supplied for all who wanted
to attend this session, but the pa
tronage has been so large that it
has been impossible to accommo-
date all who wished to attend. Since
January 3rd, applications for
rooms in the barracks have been
rejected. In order to accommo-
date all those who wish to attend
next year, 1t has been. decided to
increase the faculty and enlarge
the buildings during the coming
summer. Several thousands of
dollars are now in hand for this
purpose. Four additions have "a
ready been made to the faculty.
Major J. P. B. Allen, an A. NJ. grad
uate Of the University of Georgia,
and who has also taken courses
North, has accepted the. chair of
English. For the past six years
Major Allen has been Prof. of En-
glish and Commandant of Cadets
inSSouth Ky. College. Prof. Jno
rhackston, an A. B. graduate of
Furman University, has been Sc
lected for the chair Of Mathemat-
les. Prof. Thackston for the past
two years has been principal OF
the Manning graded schools. He
has made Mathematics specially.
Capt. Ralph D. Epps, first grad
nate of the Citadel. has been Sc
lected for the chair Of History.
Capt. Epps has been successfully
teaching in this state fer the past
six years. For four years lie wss
President of the Methodist Con-
ference School at Cokesbury. a.
ter this he taught History and Li.-
erature in Col. Patrick's school 1t
Anderson. Mrs. j. P. 3. Allen,
a first honor graduate OF the New
England Conservatory of Music,
Boston, Mass, has been selected
10 take charge of the vocal depart
itment. Mrs. Allen has held SINH
lar positions in some of the most
prominent Female Colleges il the
South, and is in every way quail
fled for this responsible posi-
tion.
Not only are all CT the above
teachers well recommended by the
faculties of the different Colleges
from which they graduated, bu!
they have proven themselves to be
tsuccessful teachers. Each one OF
them was unanimously reelected
to fill the positions which they
are now holding. With the addi-
ton of these teachers. the faculty
| for the session of 1901-1902 will
consist of 81 College and Univer-
sity graduates.
Maj. Allen and Capt. Epps are
both married. They will live in the
main building. Prof. Thackston
is a single gentleman and will
live in Barracks No. 1, assisting
Capt. Cain with looking after the
young men in this barracks
