Doing o Great Work.

The Savannah News says: Discus
sion in the South Carolina legislature
a day or two ago brought out the fact
that less than 10 per cent of the
students at Clemson college take the
course Of agriculture. This college
was established as an agricultural
college. TIC teach boys how to become
farmers was the prime purpose. Has
it failed Of its mission? The ques-
tion was asked on the floor of the
legislature. While Clemson has not
had many students who took the
agricultural course it has done much
in educating young men along indus
trial lines and its mission has not
been failure. This is true, Glenn
son is doing a great work for young
men. While it may educate many of
them away from the farm, as is often
charged, it fits them for high and
honorable positions in other walks Of
life. Farmers sons have just as much
right to leave the farm and accept
these places as other boys. If they
have the capacity to tit themselves
for responsible positions away from
the farm they should not be denied
the privilege Of doing so simply be-
cause they had been raised on farm.
South Carolina should be proud Of the
record her sons, who were trained at
Clemson, are making in all the walks
of life in other States.

Would be Interesting.

We presume there will never be an
age when the dead beat will not
flourish at the expense Of Others. And
especially is this the case with those
who make a practice OF beating"
their doctor bills. II the practice OF
medicine happened to be an exact
science, a boycott Of the doctors
against the dead beats would result
in an interesting experiment. Unfort-
unately the dead beat cannot be SIN
gled out for punishment. He usually
has a family and in Furnishing him
the medical profession might punish
from two to ten others who are unde-
serving OF punishment. But the chief
interest would be in a practical test
in the case Of the beats. II they
were blackljSted and denied all medi-
cal attendance, mortality statiSticians
would prick up their ears and begin
to take notes. In due time we should
have comparative tables showing the
mortality Of the human race under
medical attendance and the mortality
O. that portion Of the race which is
denied attendance. The experiment
would give the world fair test OF
the efficacy Of medical attendance in
general, taking the skilled and the
unskilled practitioners as they occur.
Really, it is {! great pity that some
thing OF this sort cannot be done, with
the consent OF all parties concerned.

Shot and Killed.

A dispatch from Union to the Spar
tanburg Journal says Will Eubanks, a
young white man about p years old
died at Carlisle Tuesday morning, as
the result Of being shot on Saturday
night at a negro frolic near Herberts
by Silas Lyles, negro. The bullet,
which was fired from 32-calibre re-
volver, entered Eubanks stomach and
passing through his body come out at
his back. EubankS was employed by
the Phenix Bridge Co., which is build
ing the new long steel bridge for the
Southern Railway across Broad river
at Shelton. The negro Lyles claims
that he, with some other men, were
firing their pistols wher Eubanks pas
sed, and that be was struck accident
ally, bat it is reported that the two
had had a difficulty some time ago and
had not been friendly since. Lyles
did not attempt to get away and was
committed to jail.

KEEP TIE ACREAGE DOWN.
Tia: Is the Advice Given Our Cotton
Eary,,orS hv an E1nArf

Tia. Is the Advice Given Our Cotton
Farmers by an Expert.
Mr.. Alfred B. Shepperson, one OF
the most careful and competent sta
tisticians in the country, has written
very interesting review Of The
Cotton Situation From Solely Dis
interested Standpoint, for the last
number OF the Baltimore Manufacture
ers' Record. He believes that the re.
markable advance in cotton due to
speculation in cotton futures, and
that there is no truth in the conten-
tion that this years cotton crop will
be about one million bales less than
the last crop, and inadequate for the
actual requirements Of the spinners.
He believes that the present CONNER
cial crop will equal 10, 70o,0 900 bales,
averaging AS4 pounds net, or about
the size OF the last crop.
He believes further that upon the
acreage Of last season 1t would have
been poss BILE for crop Of twelve mil
lion bales to have been made. In his
opinion, there is no deterioration Of
seed or Of soil in general way and
be utters the warning that alluring
as the presnet price Of cotton must be
to the Southern farmers, 1t may prove
as treacherous as the sands OF the sea-
shore. The icentive is very great to
plant in the spring an immense acre
age in cotton at the expenses OF food
and forage crops. The result might
prove unfortunate should cotton de-
cline sharply under the prospects Of
full crop, and the farmer be compell-
ed to pay high prices for grain and
provisions.
The News and Courier thinks the
warning given by Ar. shepperson
ought to be needed BY the cotton
planters OF the South. Only few
days ago one Of the leading newspapers
OF the South, carried away by the
idea that IL or 14 cents cotton had
come to stay, urged the farmers to in
crease the acreage this year. It Is
hoped that the planters will not fol-
low such wild counsel. hr. Shopper
son, as Secretary of the Com mittee OF
the United States Senate, appointed
to examine into the matter Of cotton
production and manufacture In this
country and abroad, reached the con-
clusion that the average cost Of cotton
production in the South was about
6-1-2 cents per pound. Surely the
planters have not forgotten their very
recent experience In producing the
staple at less than actual cost. II the
acreage shall be increased this year
and an enormous crop should be pro-
duced, all the ingenuity Of the bulls
will not be able to sustain the market
at the present largely speculative fig
ures. The right thing and the safe
thing for cotton planters to do IS to
raise their own bread aud meat first,
and then to grow as much cotton as
they can as money crop.

We feel that what we have report
ed. ano the testimony taken, reveals
dark picture. it is true, but nothing
short OF an actual inspection OF the
work can convey an adequate idea Of
the nonstrcns swindle Of which the
State IS the victim, appropriately por-
trayed in The closing words OF Capt.
Hunts testimony:
The introduction Of stamped metal
work IN the ceilings Of these massive
pcrticos: the utter disregard for the
strength of the structure by the re-
moyal Of the Two inner columns which
were to carry the bond lintels for
securing the pediments OF the main
structures: the unfinished manner in
which the tin cutters were left with
out the absolutely necessary brick
backing-leaving the vertical sides OF
the cutters, which are twenty inches
or more in height, Of one thickness OF
tin entirely unprotected from the pres
sure Of water in the time Of even an or
dinarv fall of rain-this, with natural
deterioration Of sheet tin, makes 1t in
conceivable why this work should nave
been left in its present condition.
Unless something is done at once to
rectify this blunder, the interior OF
the building is liable to be flooded at
any time, either from corrosion OF the
expansion and contraction Of the me-
tai.
This together with the rough and
combustible nature Of the main roofs
the crude and unfinished character OF
the metal ceilings of the lobby, the
monstrous manner in which the inner
dome was finished, made this work a
parody upon the science OF archltec-
ture and an insult to the fame OF John
r Niernsee and a disgrace to the
State Of South Carolina"
