100000 for Improvements a. Clemson.
Greenville News, April 10. !

lGreenville News, April 10.
Sixty thousand dollars is to bs spent ir
improving and enlarging Clemson Col
lege. A resolution making the appropri
alton was adopted at special meeting OF
the Board of Trustees held at the college
yesterday.
Senator Tillman was seen for a few
moments at the Southern Railway sta
tion hero yesterday afternoon on his " ay
back to Washington He was travelling
on the northbound vestibule. With him
we're several other mem bers of the board
including Trustees Tindal, Evans and
Wanuamaker. Col. M. l.. Donaldson
also returned on the vestibule, having
attended the meeting.
Yes, we have made up our minds to
spend every cent we can on the college
that is on permanent improvements, :"
said Senator Tillman. 'We did not con-
slider any small things at the meeting to-
day. We had only the big things in
mind. In view of the fact that there are
several hundred applications each year
for rooms in excess of the accommoda
tions at the college, the trustees decided
away, had to be educated. There was
nothing left for us but to build addi-
tional barracks, aud that will be one of
the big things to como out of the sixty
thousand dollar appropriation. We have
directed, among Other things, that at
least 200 bed rooms shall be provided,
which will make the college large enough
least"
Senator Tillman did not have time to
go into details as to the improvements.
He said that the plans had to be made
first and then better idea could be
given. One of the principal things, how
ever, outside of the new dormitory, is
the erection of new power plant and
fertilizer building. The idea of the trus-
tees is to reduce operating expenses by
centralizipg the power plant, for heating
as we'll as for lighting purposes. This
will add greatly to the efficiency of the
mechanical department of the college.
The fertilizer department, which is
really State department solely, will be
improved and enlarged and it is almost
certainty that the printing school will
be added to the college course. This de-
partment will, in great measure, be
made to pay for itself, for great deal of
literature of various sorts is distributed
from the institution, and in addition the
"Hill" has quantity of job work, which
is now being done elsewhere.
In addition to the fund coming from
the Legislature Az result of the ferti-
lizer tag tax, the United States govern
ment has made arrangements to give
$4,000 annually, for six years, the m oney
to be used in agricultural experiments
Elnder the direction of the college au-
thorities.
Instead of six hundred students, more
or less crowded, Clemson will, in ,ano-
ther year, accommodate eight hundred
students, perhaps more. Still it will not
be as large as number of similar insti-
tutions in other States.

GEN. YOUMANS' APPOINTMENT.
A Deserved Honor to Worthy South Caro-.
Iinian-A Hero Of '76

To the Editor of The State: In ap.
pointing Hon. Leroy +. YOumans to the
office of Attorney General to succeed the
lamcnted Mr.. Gunter, Governor Hayward
performed worthy act and one that will
meet universal appreciation. Everybody
appreciates the ability aud pre-eminent
attainments of Mr.. Youmans either
from personal acquaintance or from repu-
cation. Every one who knows him real
ICES his honesty, his amiability and his
accomplishments; but only those who
lived and saw his work for his native
State in the revolutionary times, which
terminated the Reconstruction period,
will ever know what South Carolina
owes to Youmans. If Hampton re-
deemed the State from Radical misrule,
Soumans, in series of the grandest
legal battles that ever were fought in the
courts of any country, preserved the
fruits of that redemption. He did not
do it all; other great, devoted lawyers
stood by him and fought with him, but
he was recognized as the leader and he
lead graudly and to success. a bunder,
single mistake at any one OF the criti-
cal points of that tremendous contro-
versy, and all would have been lost, but
he made no mistake. Governor Hey
ward has honored himself and his adj
ministration in hOnOring this true,
brave, patriotic, noble old son and ser
want of South Carolina. '76.
To the Editors of the KcOwee Courier:
Those of us old enough to remember the
struggle of 1876 recall with pride and
pleasure the uprising of the white peo-
ple of South Carolina, and the rescue of
our State from Carpetbaggers and scala
wags. In the forefront of that unequal
struggle, alongside of Hampton and
Hagood, was Youmans. the legal adviser
on the ticket. For those splendid efforts
of the white people a new South Caro-
lima has grown up
Mr.. Youmans has been honored by the
Governor to take the place in his cabinet
of the honored and lamcnted Gunter.
Mr.. Youmans needs this Office for the
ensuing two years. In adverse times he
devoted himself to his PROSTATE State, it
would be a gracious act to make acknowl-
edgment for his loyalty in perilous and
adverse times to elect him for the ensu-
ing term to his earlier Office. OF course,
younger mon properly aspire to be At
torney General Of South Carolina, but we
venture to remark that consideration for
the veteran of perilOus times may yield a
large future return. Saluda

ends at the back. and two long, full ostrich

The description sounds simple enough,
and the sketch OF the model, which will be
found among the pictures, IL not remark
ably impressive; yet here was a hat which
indicated the hand Of an artist more clearly
than does many a more spectacular model.
No novice can drape net with airy grace Of
line and fold. and only a master hand can
cope successfully with ribbon.
Chic simplicity is the thing hardest of
achievement in millinery and the tendency
OF the mediocre milliner is to overload
her hats with trimming. while the artist
milliner trusts TO perfection OF line and
color and works miracles by the mere
tying of a bow or posing Of a feather.
Apropos OF ribbon tying, ribbon assumes
more importance this season than il usual
in fall millinery and the great milliners. such
az Cartier, Reboux. Georges, are handling
ribbon with enthusiasm and phenomenal
skill.
Big c~apelines Of soft felt. velvet, &c,
trimmed in ribbon and flowers OF in ribbon
and plumes call up choes Of the summer
season and are wonderfully picturesque
and becoming, while small hats OF felt
are ooquettishly ribbon trimmed and often
whole toques or turbans are made OF the
exquisite wide ribbons so numerous this
fall We have picked out from a multitude
OF imported models several which illus
trate effectively this skilful use OF ribbon
and which for all their careless piquancy
would try the fingers and inspiration Of
the average milliner beyond their llmita-
ions
Notice, for example. the capeline OF soft
white felt whose underbrim ia faced with
old rose velvet. The pliable brim il caught
up at the left side by old rose ribbons, one
of velvet, n OF faille, and these ribbons
are tied in most charming fashion at the
back, forming a graceful cachepeigne.
Big silk and velvet roses with metallic
foliage trim the right front.
The cachet OF this hat lies wholly in the line
OF the brim and the adjustment OF the rib

~harmonies. and as gray is one of the lead
ing oolor, il not the leading color, this
season the manufacturers ave turned

shaded grays and gray blended subtly with
other color.
The old light reds or deep pinks so in
describably soft in tone and shading down
through deepening hues to rich dark color
ing in which blue and red are combined
without the least approach to what we
onoe called magenta associate most ami
cably. with the smoky grays, and some OF
the most beautiful ostrich plumes We have
seen show such reds underlying IN soft
gray or appearing next the stem OF at the
ends Of the feathers OF tipping the long
plumes. The dull rose tints, too. combine
admirably with gray, and gray and rose
feathers are numerous. as are those blend
ing gray and yellow and gay and . light,
silvery blue.
One cannot discuss the new millinery
long without bringing gray into the discus
sion. The all T hat is an important
item In the seasons millinery and the gray
hat trimmed in color or the oolored hat
trimmed In gray is quite as important.
When n speaks OF the gray hat trimmed

an idea Of the oonsummate art with which
the French milliners are eYecting these
combinations. The phrase gives one an
idea OF crude contrast, while az a matter

women are this fall wearing hats which.
while original and sometimes very I'M
usual, are not az a rule spectacular.
Absurd angles are not the most striking
thing about the fall models as they were
about he hats of last spring. The new
hats sit more squarely upon the head; and
IL the hat does tilt gracefully to n side
it is so built up with bandeau, cache peigne,

couture instead OF being obviously an alien
element stranded upon an incongruous rest
