< "When asked as to the probability
Of his becoming a candidate for the

for this reason he had decided not to
be among the opponents of Senator

Just been reopened and we're getting
fairly started after the war and re-
construction. The unconditional and
private colleges we're just beginning
a new era of prosperity. 1t would be
a. conservative estimate to say that
at least $1,OOO,O00 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 endownments 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 are easily worth
ole and a half million dollars. Pr1-
vate and denominational enterprises
have erected Converse, Lander and
Columbia colleges during the same
period. These, with the private aea-
denies andshigh schools which have
been erected within the last few
wears, would add at least three
fourths Of million dollars to the
total value Of the educational proper
tv 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 manifest 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 Superln-
tendent Martin. "The average at
tendance last year was 2lS,S62. The
total this year is 222,1S9. This is
especially encouraging in view of the
fact that the enrolment did not in
crease. There was decrease IN tne
enrolment. The enrolment last year
was 31S,075. The enrolment this
year was 3l4,399. In a number Of
counties the session was shortened
presumably because Of reduction IN
funds. Some counties miss the funds
which they have received. from the
dispensary more than other counties.
This is especially true in poorer
counties. I believe that the legisla-
ture will soon see the wisdom of
making a state appropriation which
will guarantee certain per capita per
child in the counties where the funds
are smallest. # general appropria-
ton Of 100000 we're made, provid-
ing first for deficiencies by counties
and afterwards fo7 general distrlbu-
ton, it would have the effect Of nelp-
ing to strengthen the weak places
and of helping those who really need
it most.'

Columbia, November 28.-Durlng
the last twenty-five years South Car
olina has made marvellous progress IN
all lines, and in no other hne 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 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 a quarter of a century.
In ais forthcoming annual report
State Superintendent Of Education
Martin Will give some data in the et-
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
surance companies in New York.
Mr.. Martin has taken the last re-
port Of Superintendent Thompson
and with it as a basis makes some
comparisons with the conditions OF
today. He points out that twenty
five years ago State Superintendent
Thompson was closing his term OF
office, after having done some very
successful foundation and building
work for a public school system IN
South Carolina. In order TO accom-
plisa results it was necessary then
for him to encounter a great deal OF
opposition. The statistics in his re-
ports Of his last term Of office show
marked development eoatrasted with
conditions when. he first assumed, the
position. aThis years statistics are
very interesting when contrasted
with those of quarter Of century
AGO. The following items are worthy
of attention:

GARBAGE QUESTION
Henry SchiIdgen of Naugatuck
 Offers Land For Cremat0ry.

It is the intention of the board of health to solve the garbage question before the end of the year, or at least form plans which will call for the erection of an up to date crematory next year. At the meeting of the board yesterday afternoon the members dis cussed the garbage situation at some length. They finally decided to visit some other crematOries before they give the contract for the one to be built in this city. In his monthly re- port Health Officer Dr T. J. Kilmartin stated that brook on St Paul street was causing some trouble because people in the vicinity were throwing all kinds of rubbish jn it. The para graph in his report concerning this matter was as follows:
 T would respectfully report that a natural waterway extending from Great Brook easterly north of St Paul street, bordering on the properties of the Chase Rolling Mill Co, Bidwell and Sayles, be ordered enclosed in a tile or other suitable drain. In its present exposed condition it is men, ace to health and is being used by at least one dwelling house. I would also suggest that map of the natural waterways of the city be secured from the engineering officer with a view of having all so enclosed to prevent con- tagion."
 Henry Schildgen, who owns prop erty in the vicinity of Pearl lake, had a communication for the board of health, but it was handed in too late for the board. It is an offer from Mir Schildgen of land for the crcmat0ry. The communication was as follows:
 If at any time it is the intention of the present board to make change in regard to the handling of your citys garbage, or the building of a new crematory, l would ask you to consider the following proposition:
 T will deed to the city of Water- bury, free of charge, such portions of my land that are needful for the erec- ton of a crematory. My property lies about one quarter of mile south of Pearl lake.
 This site is very well adapted for the handling of the city garbage and for the working of a crematory. I have handled the garbage of Nauga- tuck for the past eight years success fully, hence my new contract All 1 ask is fair equivalent for my labor, either as collector or the position of manager, should your board decide to make it city. plant"
 HEARY SCHILDGEN.
 The monthly reports of Milk and Food Inspector Keeley and Sanitary Inspector Callahan were read and ac- cepted. The monthly pay roll was also approved.

KELLY'S TROUBLES
Had Bard Time Finding Sleeping
 Quarters the Past Month.

While John Kelly, man from nowhere, has not been living in the lap of luxury, he has certainly had variety of strange beds the past week. For the next sixty days he will sleep at the expense of the public ill the country jail at New Haven.
 Kelly was before the city court to- day charged with vagrancy. He plead- ed not guilty. The past week peo- pie living in the district known to the police as The avenues have been complaining of strange and un- welcome guest. One night the can opy of his couch wos the dome of Trinity church, the next perhaps cellar, and the next the rear veranda of a house on ''the avenues or may be the attic. He always left some reminder of his presence behind. It was pillow which he purloined from a bed room or bed spread, sheet, or a sofa pillow and taken to the cellar or attic.
 Mrs Bertha Halpern of Second ave- nue smelled fire around her house the other day and she shouted for help. AS she was shouting, out walked Kel- ly, and the woman ran after him for some distance. Later, it was found the man had been taking snooze under bed, for spread was found there, and that he had taken pocket book containing fifteen cents. He just walked out on the back veranda, spoke to Mrs Halpern, and scooted
 Charles Dunlap, employed at w. B. Merriman's on Prospect street, saw him leave the attic of the house q week ago Monday. His coat and shoes were off, showing that he had been wooing refreshing sleep in the attic. It was after this that he was heard from in Trinity church. Thomas Mellon, employed at A. l.. Goes on Holmes avenue, had visit from him. Mellon was chopping in the eel lar of the house when out walked Kelly looking as though his sleep had been rudely disturbed.
 All of this Kelly denied. He said he was just in town and was look ing for work, yet he would not say where he had spent the nights of the past week. He would admit anything to the police but that he was q thief. He was committed to jail for sixty days by Judge Burpee.

BROOKLYN BRIEFS

On next Wednesday evening the fair of the Daughters of Ruta will start.
 Thomas Grimes of Fifth street left to-day for New York to visit his mother. who is i'll.
 Arrangements are being made for the annual Thanksgiving dance of the Brooklyn Athletic club.
 -Ephrain UdelOwitz. proprietor of the store at sI0 Bank street, and Samuel Glickman. proprietor of q store at 625 South Main street, threaten 10 have all the stores in these sections close on Sunday if they are compelled 10 cease doing business on that day.
 It looks as though business at Walkers sub post station this year would suTpass that of last year by several thousand dollars. Last year the money orders written in Brook lyn t0talled close to s43.00O. while the amount of starlps. stamped en- velopes and etc sold almost equalled s3.5OO.
