Clemson's New President.

The friends Of Clemson College
throughout South Carolina are de-
lighted at the selection of DR.. P. H.
Nell, Of the Agricultural College Of
Mississippi, to be president of Glenn
son College. DR.. Nell is considered
one Of the leading educators Of the
South, and he has established a ma
tional reputation as peculiarly lifted
for the management OF agricultural
and mechanical institutions. He has
been connected with the Agricultural
and Mechanical College of Mississippi
for about twenty years, and his work
there has been very highly commended
by the best authorities IN the country.
Secretary Wilson, of President NcAin-
ley's cabinet, was especially compll-
mentary in bis commendation OF the
work Of Prof. Nell. Dr.. Nell is son
Of the late DR.. Nell, chancellor OF the
University Of Georgia. He IS a de-
vout Christian, lovable in his nature,
yet firm, absolutely impartial, and
has been most dearly beloved by both
faculty and students in Mississippi.
He IS the author Of several text books.
His helpmeet in life is described as
one Of the most charming women OF
the South, and especially adapted to
aid her husband in presiding over a
large institution Of learning. Clemson
College is to be congratulated upon
having secured such president

Gorporations in EnE1and.

A curious illustration of the power
Of corporations is reported from
England. From time imInenorial it
has been established law there that
bequests made for the propagation
of secular or frcethinking doctrines
were subject to coniscation by the
king, and thousands Of pounds have
been thus contiscated. Recently,
however, it occurred to some person
to try new plan. A company
known as the Secular society Qim-
ited) was incorporated for the spe-
cifc purpose of receiving such be-
quests, and the best English lawyers
say that under its charter it can re-
ceive and use bequests for the very
purpose so long held unlawful. 4
corporation is 3 strange entity.

FIurtful Gossip.

One of the greatest evils OF our
day, getting the unconscious support
of many Of our best intentioned peo-
pie, is the sin Of gossiping about per-
sons. Indulgence in gossip IS like in
diligence In drink-there IS no happy
medium which it IS safe to adopt.
The line never can be drawn where
drinking or gossiping can be safely
done. Good women everywhere should
frown down all beginnings OF per-
sonal discussion Of a harmful nature.
II one must criticise persons or dis
cuss them in any way except IN KIND
ness let it be done in their presence,
where they may have an opportunity
for defense, or at least explanation
We have no right to suppose or supply
motives: we are forbidden to Judge.
Gossip has made wounds for which
there seemed Mt balm; it has injured
regulations with an entirely unmerlt-
ed stain. Many life has gone Scared
to the grave by the breath OF thought
less meddlers and tattlers. 4 true
woman IS not given to wounding an
other. Womanhood should seek to
shield, not strike, even the fallen.
With life so full OF stirring events,
what time have you to listen to set
Of idle takers, actuated more often
than not by spirit of malice and
envy? 1t is not always the biameIesS
one who is most eager to condemn.
The sinless hand rarely, II ever, casts
the first stone. II one-half the indus
try were used to cultivate a kindly
habit of speech, to unVeil the better

ness" scattered through the worlds

Ten Cent Cotton Predicted.

Theodore Price. cotton dealer OF
New York in an interview NedneS-
day night. said: L take this means
of answering hundreds OF telcsraphlc
inquiries reaching from all over the
country in regard to the cetton mar
ket. 1t is impossible for me to reply
to them individually. The report OF
the United States government, issued
today, in regard to the cotton crop IN
dicates a condition Of 81, which IS the
lowest on record for September. 1t
is, and has been, confirmed and fore
shadowed by all other reports, public
and private, for the past three weeks.
The most optimistic construction that
is possible to put upon the government
report does not justify the eXpecta-
tion of a crop Of l0,000,0OO bales OF
American cotton. The world con-
sumed during the year just ended H.
100000 bales of American growth.
and in order to make this supply SUI
ice reserves everywhere are practical
" exhausted. For the coming season
the world will require, conServatlvely
estimated. about 11,250.000 bales Of
American cotton. There is then a
theoretical deficiency between the
maximum supply and the minimum
demand of at least !, ,250, 600 bales. An
actual deficiency is commercially un-
thinkable. The price must go to
figure that will check consumption.
This price is by no means reached yet.
American has practical monopoly OF
cotton production. Peace reigns uni
yersally throughout the world, indus
trial and commercial enterprise is un-
checked and expanding. Next to
food stulrS cotton is the most import
ant and necessary staple consumed by
civilized society. l think it entirely
probable that before any effect upon
consumption is apparent cotton will
be selling at 10 cents pound In the
south and doubt If the advance will
stop there. If producers Of the artI-
Gle are wise they will demand and OBJ
tain that" We hope Mr.. Price IS
right, and that cotton will not only
reach ten cents but 90 higher.

COTTON Crop CoNDITIoN.-It was
very generally expected that the
Agricultural Departments September
report on the condition Of the cotton
crop would be unfavorable, but the
average, when announced, fell prob
ably far below the calculations CT even
the most pessmistic. Rarely has a
worse return been made at this season
Of the year, and the effect of the dis
couraging estimate was manifested
Immediately by prompt rise in price.
1t is an Ill wind that blows no good,
and there is considerable satisfaction
in the reflection that this sce-saW re-
suit can usually be looked for, and If
the crop proves short, the price is
likely to range proportiouately high.

Gave UD Her Job.

A young women employed as a
press fedder in the government print
ing office in Washington has given up
her employment because she refused
to alter the style of dressing her hair.
as requested to dc by Foreman Nc
Farland Of the press room. She was
told by the foreman that she could
not continue in her work If she did
not adopt a new style OF hair dressing.
She appealed to Private Secretary
Rickets, who in the absence OF the
public printer is at the head Of the
government printing establishment.
He was more diplomatic than the
foreman in talking with the young
woman, but he nevertheless took a
firm stand. Il am sorry madam, "
said he. that you are having serious
differences with Mr.. Mcfarland. |
would not attempt to suggest to you
hcw to wear your hair, which, l am
sure. is most attractive as it is now.
But the complaint is that your hair
interferes with the feeding OF the
presses and causes the spelling OF
many sheets Of paper" The young
woman decided to accept the condi-
tion made by the foreman, however,
and abandoned her work. 1t was said
at the government printing office to-
day that if the young woman will re-
turn with her hair brushed smooth
she my be reinStated.
