PRINCES SHIP is ROBBED.
Souvenir Hunters Take Away Many
Fine Relics.

Prince Wilhelm of Sweden put in
his customary busy day in New York
in spite of the fact that it was Sun
day. He attended religious services
on board the Swedish cruiser Fylgia,
entertained a small party of friends
at luncheon on board the ship, was
almost mobbed by the crowd when he
came ashore, motored through Central
park, and gave a small dinner at the
Hotel Astor.
Sunday was reception day aboard
the cruiser and following the custom
established when the Duke of Abruzza,
italian, visited New York, it seemed
that every visitor wanted to carry
away a souvenir Glasses, dishes,
sailors caps and officers sword scab-
bards-in fact, practically everything
lying loose was taken. One enthusiast
tic hunter even carried away the
breechblock latch of the big gun in the
forward latch.
1t is estimated that 10000 people
visited the cruiser and while the
chief engineer believes his engines
are still intact, the weight of articles
taken by relic hunters was almost
enough to make a change in the re-
gistered displacement of the ship.
Answering a knock at the back

LATEST POLITICAL RUMoRS
Roosevelt and Bryan Are the Leaders
in Their Respective Camps.

Roosevelt and Bryan Are the Leaders
in Their Respective Camps.
1t is a well settled fact that 1908
will be a bad year for the reaction
aries in either party. 1t is undeniable
that this element is striving to com
pei the republican party in it's next
platform to recede from the advanced
position which. has been occupied by
President Roosevelt. Democrats of
the same stripe are anxious to over
turn the policies of Mr.. Bryan and
it seems to be a foregone conclusion
that both attempts will fail.
The democrats of the nation, &C
cording to discerning men at Wash
ington, are not in sympathy with those
who would control the party as it
was controlled in 1904, and it would
be as easy to renominate Alton B.
Parker almost as to nominate any
democratic candidate who would be
suspected of recession from the Bryan
program. Hence it will be necessary
only for the radicals of the party to
say, for instance, Roger Sullivan of
Illinois supports this man; August
Belmont or Thomas Ryan of New
York support that man, to defeat
other candidates for the presidential
nomination.
Mr. Bryan is master of the demo-
cratic situation, purely by force of his
championship of the interest of the
The same causes operate to
make Mr.. Roosevelt the controller Of
republican destines. The people sus-
pect any man who antagonizes him,
and so far as present indications go,
it will be necessary only for him to
evince his pleasure to defeat a candi-
date not to his liking.
Vice President Fairbanks boom is
a dead one; Joe Cannon cannot knock
the persimmons. The unknown guam
Titles in the republican party are La
Toilette of Wisconsin and Hughes of
New York. Foraker is a forgotten
quantity, and Taft, although backed
by the president, has a divided state
back of him. Mr.. Roosevelt can have
the nomination for the asking. When
the process of elimination has been
carried to its logical conclusion, two
men remain-President Roosevelt and
William ]. Bryan, and these men hold
within their hands the power to die
tate results.
Back of all anti-conveitno specula-
ton, however, is the crushing fact
that the cost of living is advancing,
and that will be the dominating, ele-
ment in determining results in 1905
AS though prices were not already
high enough, the country is now told
that the enforcement of the prue food
law will still further advance prices,
and there is nothing in sight to afford
relief except the indefinable hope that
the radicals or one or other of the
two great parties will inaugurate
measures to crush out the trusts.

FELL 400 FEET TO DEATH.
Baloonist at Lowell, Mass, Fell in
Sight of 1000 People.

Lowell, Mass.-Harry NJ Maynard,
a young aeronaut, fell 400 feet to his
death late Saturday afternoon at Lake
View, pleasure resort near here.
while 1000 spectators held their breath
in sickening suspense. Maynard's
home is in Lynn. He was employed
to give an exhibition by the Stafford
Balloon club of Boston.
Maynard took two parachutes for
1000 feet in the air he cut loose from
the balloon. He shot earthward like
a bullet more than half the distance.
Within 400 feet from the ground one
parachute opened. Maynard's employ
er, who had fired the shot telling the
aeronaut to cut loose, yelled, Told
it. hold it," meaning for Maynard to
use only one parachute, not to try to
cut loose from the first, depending on
the second to open in the short dis
lance he had to drop.
Maynard either took the risk or
failed to hear, for he cut loose. The
other parachute did not open, and his
body shot down, falling on the roof of
the bowling alley. The sound was
heard above the screams of the thou
sands who had watched him fall. Every
bone in the mans body was broken.
Maynard was dead three minutes after
he struck.

There l. a growing sentiment in the
state that Clemson College should be
owned by the state. This idea was first
suggested. if memory is not at fault,
by Mr.. McMahan when that gentle
man offered for governor last wear.
The lIpa grows out of the fact that
while the college is supported by the
state. the state does not. nor can it
ever. control the institution as things
now stand. This condition obtains bv
reason Of the fac, that the life lrus-
tees appointed by Mr.. Clemson with
the power of namin" their SuccrS>o orS.
r"n>litut" majority of the board.
The change would cost the state quite
a tidy sum and would help the Glenn
son heirs considerably in a financial
way.-Grecnwood Index.
We are inclined to ayrc, with the
Index. IF Clemson is to be a state
college it should be under the con-
troll of the state and not under the
c"n,rol Of Mr.. Clemson. 1t would be
better for the institution and better
for the state. Every citizen Of south
Carolina realizes and appreciates the
rood work that is hein" done by Glenn

would be none to do anything that
would in III" slightest cripple its use
