Campaign Notes.

4 Charleston dispatch says: Re-
ports from the campaign meetings in
the state seem to Indicate that Colonel
John J. Hemphill is developing great
strength in his race for the United
States senate. At the Charleston
meeting Colonel Hemphill made a
splendid impression on the voters, not
so much with what he said, bur the
brilliant mahner in which he addressed
the people. He is Kot the choice OF
the Tillman faction. however although
the general feeling is to rise above fac
tional lines and elect the man who can
best represent South Carolina in the
United States senate.
The Tillman influence will be divid-
ed between Congressman Ashbury c.
Latimer and Ex-Governor John Gary
Evans. These two candidates, how
ever, have been fighting each other so
hard that in the event of sec6fld pri-
mary, which is almost certain, it would
be difficult for one to pick up the fol-
owing of the other If candidate who
is not the choice Of the Tillman faction
should win the politicians think that
Colonel Hemphill would have a mighty
good chance State Senator D. S. Hell
derson has made d good run so far in
the low country, but he Is not well
~
known in upper Carolina. The other
candidates are Colonel William Elliott
and George Johnstone, but their
chanceg are not considered as bright
as some of the other candidates al
ready named.
The race will be split so badly that
any one of the anti-fillmatl candidates
might win, although people who are
willing to bet money on the result
seem to give Latfmer, Hemphill and
Evans the preference.

Hartzoa MAY Leave Clemson.

Hartzog May Leave clemson.
Clemson college seems likely to lose
it's president. 1t will be remembered
hat there was disturbance at the
college two months ago, and that as
result one class withdrew, while the
remaining cadets asked the resigna-
ton of President Hartzog. Pending
the investigation by the board, Profes-
sor Hartzog sent in his resignation.
After considering the matter, the
board of trustees overruled the faculty,
reinstated the suspended boy, took
back the withdrawing class, and, to
balance things, refused to accept the
presidents resignation.
Now Governor Davis, of Arkansas,
has asked President Hartzog to come
to his state and take charge of the in
dustrial college. The action OF MT.
Hartzog has not been officially an
nounced, but as he has gone west 10
look into the matter. it is UNDERSTOOD
he will accept the offer.
This will leave Clemson without an
executive head a few weeks before the
reopening of the school. There is no
indication as to who will be given the
place. 1t is an Office carrying emolu
ment as well as honor. and there will
be no lack of candidates.
This has been a year noted fol
changes in the heads of colleges. Tho
state colleges of Clemson and Soutf
Carolina. the denominational college
at Wofford and Columbia Presbyterian
and the non-denominational Converse
college have all changed president
