Washington, ID. c., November 90
Senator Latimcr, The first Of the
South. Carolina delegation to reach
Washington for The coming session of
congress. arrived here today from
Baltimore, where ne. has been attend
ING the sessions Of the drainage Con-
vrntioa.
When seen by the News and Cour-
icr correspondent. Senator Latimcr
said:
cone Of the first matters to which
[ will give my attention when con-
grcss meets will be The passage of a
law authorizing the establishment Of
a new Federal judicial district in the
western part Of our state. I think
such an arrangement is needed very
badly, and the bill will receive the
earnest support Of many lawyers in
the upper part Of the statc.'
This bill has been before congress
for about two years, but heretofore
has failed to pass.

just been reopened and were getting
fairly started after the war and re-
construction. The unconditional and
private colleges were just beginning
new era OF prosperity. 1t would be
u conservative estimate to say that
at least 81 100000 had been added,
either in equipment or buildings, to
the colleges which were furnishing
higher education to the boys and girls
Of the state in the early eighties.
The increase in cndownments would
approximate the same amount. Be
sides this the state of South Car
olina during that Period erected
three new state institutions, viz,
Clemson, Winthrop and the state Col
ored College. The plants Of these
three institutions arc easily worth
one and a half million dollars. Pri-
vatc and dcnominalional enterprises
have erected Converse, Lander and
Columbia colleges during the same
period. These, with the private aca-
denies and'high schools which have
been erected within The last few
years, would add at least three
fourths Of Il million dollars to the
total value of the educational proper
ty in South Carolina. OF course,
these figures do not Indicate the full
development which has taken place.
The greatest improvement of all is
found in the sentiment which sup
ports the work and in the desire
which the people maHifest for con-
tinued progress.
"There are some points in the sta
tistics of this year in contrast with
last year which are favorable and
some which are not.' says Superin-
tendcnt Martin. "Thq average at
tendance last year was 21S,S62. The
total this year is 222.lS9. This is
especially encouraging in view Of the
fact thai the enrolment did not in
crease. There was decrease in thc
enrolment. The enrolment last wear
was 3lS.O15. The enrolment this
year was 3l4,399. In Il number Of
couAtics the session was shortened
presumably because of Il reduction in
funds. Some counties miss the funds
which they have received from the
dispcnSary more than other counties
This is especially true in poorer
counties. [ believe that the lcgisla-
tnre will soop see the wisdom Of
making Il state appropriation which
Will guarantee certain per capita per
child in the counties where the funds
are smallest. t 4 general appropria-
tion of 100000 were made, provid-
ing first for deficiencies by counties
and afterwards for general distribu-
ton, it wo ID have the effect Of nelp-
ING to strengthen thc weak places
and of helping those who really need
it most.'

Columbia, November 2S.-During
the last twenty-five years South Car
olina has made marvellous progress in
all lines, and in no other line has the
advance Of this Commonwealth been
greater than in education. There is
yet much to be done. The foundations
have merely been laid for making
this Commonwealth Il thoroughly
educated and intelligent state, where
illiteracy shall be at the minimum,
but at the same time encouragement
and hope should be taken
from the record of accomplishment
within quarter Of a century.
In nis forthcoming annual report
State Superintendent Of Education
Martin will give some data in The cf-
fort to show the advance within the
period mentioned. twenty-five years
ago the state superintendent of edu-
cation was Hugh S. Thompson, that
splendid gentleman and educator,
who later became governor Of South
Carolina, went to Washington in the
administration of Grover Cleveland,
and wound up MS career with honor
as an official Of one Of the great il
surancc companies in New York.
Mr.. Martin has taken the last re-
port of Superintendent Thompson
and with it as Il basis makes some
comparisons with the conditions of
today. He points ont that twenty
five years ago State Superintendent
Thompson was closing his term Of
Office. after having done some very
SurccsSlul Foundation and building
work for Il public school system III
South Carolina. In order TO accom-
pliSi results it was necessary then
for him to encounter Il grea; deal of
opposition. The statistics in his re-
ports of his last term Of Office show
marked development coltrasted with
conditions when he first assumed The
position. p This years statistics are
very interesting when contrasted
with those Of a quarter Of century
ago. The following items are worthy
of attention:

and 1t gives promise of stirring UP as
much excitement as any Of the great
lights that have taken place here in
the last few years. Nelson lost no
time In settling down to training, as
he commenced his work yesterday at
his old quarters at Larkspur. AS a
mark of his enthusiasm. he. was on the
road twice during the day. in addition
to the light work he did in the gymna-
sium. His trip on the road allowed
him to say "Howdy, folks" to many
persons whom he had met when In
training on former occasions.
The third meeting between Nelson
and Britt will provide the fight fans
much food for speculation. especially
when the calculations are based upon
the previous fights OF the men. Con-
pied with this wifi be the fight at
Goldfield between Nelson and Cans.

Britt's cleverness will carry him
through the most trying Of situations.
There is no doubt that Britt expects
to bring into play all his wonderful
boxing ability. He will try to stand
of the Dane and make the latter box
with him. In this he seems to be try
ing for the unattainable. as neither he
nor any one else has been able to do
this up to the present time The Dane
won't let them. He keeps after his
man so insistently. that sooner or later
