 Instead of going direct to Cher bourg, as he intended he might, by shortening his visit to Berlin, come direct to London, and. after short visit here go to Highclifr Castle. see. the German Emperor, and embark at Southampton which is not far from the castle, where the Emperor is to spend his holiday.

Dog Homing Instinct.

Country Lille.
The other day, writes a correspon-
dent, a dog was sent by carriage to
Brandon station, in Norfolk, en- route
for London, from Buckenham hall.
At Ely it slipped its collar as the
guard took it out to give it water,
the time was after dark on a winter
evening and the dog dashed away
and could not be found.
At $50 the following morning one
of the stablemen at Buckenham heard
dog whining and howling under
the window. It was the same dog re-
turned. The distance from Ely to
Buckenham is computed at II miles
The dog is female spaniel and it
is virtually certain that its local
knowledge Of the century about Buck
enham on the side toward Ely was IL
r?ited to mile from the former. This
V wruld leave an unknown tract Of l6
niles to thravel through dark IN a
single night. By what sense was it
guided?

The city council Of Anderson has
nassed an ordinance adopting the cur
few, which is rung every night at lo
o'cl lock and all children under four
teen years Of age are required to be
at their homes unless accompanied by
some older person. This is the tlrst
city in this state that we know Of to
adopt the curfew. We believe 1t Is
the proper thing to do, but 10 O'Clock
is rather late. It should be sounded
not later than 9 o'clock and in the
winter season when the nights are
LONG it would not be bad to have the
curfew rung earlier even than .
O'Clock.

There is 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,
bv Mr.. McMahan when that gentle
man offered for governor last year.
The idea grows out of the fact that
while the college is supported by the
state, the state does not, nor can 1t
ever, control the institution as things
now stand. This condition obtains by
reason Of the fact that the life trus-
tees appointed by Mr.. Clemson with
the power Of naming their successors,
constitute a majority Of the board.
The change would cost the state quite
a tidy sum and would help the Glenn
son heirs considerably in financial
way.-Greenwood Index.
We are inclined to agree with the
Index. If Clemson is to be state
COLLEGE it should be under the con-
troll Of the state and not under the
control of Mr.. Clemson. It would be
better for the institution and better
for the state. Every citizen Of south
Carolina realizes and appreciates the
good work that is being done by Clem-
son. and there is no disposition and
would be none to do anything that
would in the slightest cripple its use
fulness.
We notice that the Georgia legisla-
ture is collecting the privilege tax
for the ostensible purpose of support
inc agricultural schools and the pro-
made in the last leelS-
lature to increase the tax from flf-
teen to twenty-five cents SO as to IN
crease the revenue for this purpose.
It would seem that if Georgia could
do this that it might be easy TOR
South Carolina to let this tax, which
is a similar one in this state, go into
the state treasury and make direct
appropriations for the support OF
Clemson just as we do for other IN
stitutions of higher learning. We
have been told that if this was done
it would be very easy for the fertih-
zer companies, under the decision OF
Chief Justice Fuller in the case %ot
Patapsco Guano Company against
North Carolina, to have.the entire tax
knocked up, and therefore, the Whole
Of this tax has gone direct to Glenn
son College and sometimes the college
has more money than it ought TO 'lav"'
bit. Of course. this is Mt the ques-
ton. which we started ont here to dis
russ and we repeat tina: We agree
with the Index that South Carolina
ought t. ave entire !. a:foi of this
institution just as it has Of Tie other
state colleges.
