CLEMSON is THE STATE.
snit Against the College is Suit
Against the State.

Columbia, Nov. 22.-The supreme
court has rendered a decision of con-
siderable interest to the educational
institutions Of South Carolina. Some
time ago suits were fled against Clem-
son college for amounts varying from
$1,000 to $4,000 for damage to lands
owned by farmers in the neighbor-
hood because of dyke built across one
of the streams The suit was thrown
out in the lower courts on the grounds
that the courts die not have jurisdic-
ton, because the State Of South Caro-
lima cannot be sued without the con-
sent Of the general assembly, and the
college was a part Of the State. This
view was sustained by the supreme
court
The action of the court is of more
than usual interest because there has
been some complaint that the State
has had insufficient protectorate over
the affairs of the institution.

The government report Of acreage
this year was 1,2S6,44S acres larger
than last year, and 3,O44,371 acres
less than 1904-05.
The receipts to date have been A.
622,S62 bales against 4,464,376 bales
last year-an increase of 15S,4S6
bales, and with a proportionate IN
crease until the end Of the season the
total yield Of the crop would be H.
747,749 bales.
Many Of cur correspondents report
large loss to the crop on account Of
long continued rains in September
and in early October, followed by
killing frost on 9Th and 10th Of the
latter month, when the temperature
in many parts Of the south was the
lowest ever known so early in the
season.
With an active demand from be-
ginning of che season, the crop has
been rapidly ginned and shipped to
market. Yours t My,

President Roosevelt was accorded an
ovation surprising anything ever

Roosevelt's return has been delayed

of beets daily.
In the acreage planted and the

RADIO leads, h.ving + vested $4,000
acres and manufactured $1,000 tons
of sugar. Michigan came second in
acreage with 1900 acres, but third
in sugar with 66000 tons. California
grew 81 600 acres and produced I3,-
600 tons of sugar. The next states in
order were respectively Utah, Idaho,
Nebraska and Wisconsin with total
of 71,000 acres and 64,0O0 tons of
sugar. Other states grew 1900 acres
of beets, producing about 1000 tons
of sugar, or total for the United
States of 307.364 acres with a produc-
ton of 312,920 tons of sugar.
RAPID GROWTH LOOKED FOR.
Indications are favorable. the report
states, to the further growth of this
pursuit both in irrigation and rain
fall districts. "The industry is prov
ing to be a powerful aid to CONNER
cial, agricultural and industrial devel-
opment. 1t promotes irrigation, immi-
grafton, land settlement, the building
of railroads and trolley lines, the
making of other improvements, and
the upbuilding of various industrial
enterprises. Such results can only be
appreciated by those who have visited
the factory districts in Colorado,
Utah and Idaho, or in other newly
settled and improved areas throughout
the West. The beneficial effect of the
industry is also shown in the better
settled, more highly developed agri-
cultural districts of the East, where,
after beets have been given a proper
trial in competition with established
crops. they are demonstrating their
staying qualities and potency in in
dustrial development"
GROWS MORE THAN 1T EATS.
One feature of this report is a series
OF tables accompanied with outline
maps designed to show graphically the
magnitude of sugar production in that
part of the country lying west of the
Mississippi River. These indicate that
the estimated production of sugar
west of the Mississippi in 1906 will eX
ceed by 24,000 tons the amount OF
sugar consumed in the same area In
| 1900 (he latest year for which we
| have reliable census figures). The
estimate of production for 1906 Is
made by assuming that all the beet
sugar factories, including 10 new
ones, will run at their full capacity fol
campaigns of 100 days, and that the
cane sugar product for 1906 will be the
same as that of last year."

BLESSED WITH CHILDREN.

Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris had three
children, two daughters and a son.
The son, who bears his fathers name,
Algernon, was for time an officer in
the United States army and saw some
service in the Philippines, but his
health compelled the abandonment of
q military career. During the past
few years he has travelled extensively,
and some months ago was married to
a very beautiful young woman in
Paris. The eldest daughter, Vivian,
was married a year or two since, but
the younger daughter, Rosemary, the
beauty of the family, is still unmarried.
Some months since much discussion
was precipitated when it was rumored
that she was engaged to the son Of
one of the Confederate generals who
fought against General Grant in the
campaigns of the Civil War.
Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris Is a
woman who has always been held In
high esteem by a large circle of fem
mime friends. From her school days
she has seemed to inspire the regard
of members of her own sex, and some
idea of her popularity may be formed
from the fact that on the occasion of
her wedding she was attended by
eighteen bridesmaids, all gowned alike.
Mrs. Sartoris is several years younger
than her famous brother, Gen. Fred
d. Grant, of the United States Army,
but her birthday was three years ear
lier than that of Jesse Grant, the
youngest member of this famous fam
lily.
