the things being said by Scherr sup

extremely personal, although the SwlSher

E. AS the democratic candidate for gov
ernor Hedges would run strong III Mo-
nongala county, and would seriously
threaten the overwhelming republican
majority usually returned by that county.
Hodges is popular in that county be-
cause of his university connection, he be-
ing an instructor there, and he is pretty
well known in other parts of West Vir-
ginia by reason of his former connection
with the National Guard.
Regarded as Sure Winner.
If the issue is drawn so as to focus at
tention on certain merits or dement's,
democratic boomers of Hodges think he
will be a sure winner. They are en-
couraged over the probability OF much
cutting of the republican ticket. both be-
cause of the mutterlngs now heard and
also because republicans demonstrated
their ability TO cut four years ago, when
Gov Dawson ran "A coo votes behind
Roosevelt The Hodges mention is based
largely on the assumption that Swisher
is to be the republican nominee. Under
other conditions a more practical poll
tician would find democratic favor.
Cornwells offer to go on his party $
ticket as candidate for attorney general
is considered extremely generous by
democrats SO far apprised of it. for they
realize he had only to say the word to
get the governorship nomination again.

CIafin University.

Orangeburg is also the seat of Clafiin
University for the coiored race, which
was founded by Lee Claf1in, assisted
by Andrew Carnegie. the John F. Slater
fund and other benevolent men and or
the Northern Methodist Episcopal Church.
1t has a campus Of SiXty-Seven acres,
with fine buildings and many conven-
fences. Both Ciatiin University and the
State Colored College are as well equipped
for their work as any institution OF the
kind except, perhaps, Tuskegee or Hamp-
ton.
wholesome rule of the State College
is to require every student To pay his or
her own way, either III cash or by Ia
Dor, and it is unique in the fact that
there is but one charity student on the
rolls. That is young woman supported
by Mrs Ellis of New York. While the
latter was driving around in This vicinity
one winter several years ago she visited
a cabin where poor widow was tying
to support and educate ten children Mrs
Ellis took one of them off her hands and
sent the child to this school, where she
has been ever since.
Most OF the pupils come from the farms
and rural districts of the black belt,
and Mr.. Miller tells Tae that the parents
of half of them own \heir own farms
and the homes in which they live. The
parents of the oth-r half are chiefly
renters and ''share-croppers. which
means that they work farms on shares.
1t costs Il pupil an average of $3.50 for
a school year of seven months; ST.. 80 for
board. SD for clothing, 81 for books ana
stationery, 81 foRs incidertals, and an aV-

The State Colored College.

The legal name of the institution is the
Normal, Industrial and Agricultural Col
lege for Colored People; it receives an an
nual appropriation of $1,000 from the
state tire asury, but beyond that is support
ed by the tuition fees from between seven
and eight hundred students, about equally
divided between the sexes. The boys are
learning brickaying. carpentering, paint
ing plastering blacksmithing. dairy work
and general farming. The girls are learn
ing sewing. housekeeping, cooking, laun-
dering and dining room work. while both
are given sufficient amount of book
learning to make them useful citizens.
There is a normal department.. where
school teachers are trained; military de-
partment where the boys are taught to
stand erect and to submit to discipline,
and a commercial department., in which
those who wish can obtain a knowledge of
bookkeeping and the laws and methods of
trade. Orangeburg was selected as To-
cation because of its healthful climate
and because it is the geographical center
of the black belt of South Carolina. There
is farm of 100 acres, fine herd OF cat
tie and railway connections which make
it a convenient place TO reach. The build
ings are large and substantial. The din
ing hall is said to be the handsomest of
any educational institution in the state.
There are d chapel, a library, with read
ing rooms, literary clubroomS, gymna-
SUM and all the appurtenances of a first
class institution. During the eleven years
of its existence more than 5000 young col
ored men and women have passed through
the school. spending at least one term,
and 29S have taken the full course.

ORANGEBURG. S. c.. March A. 1908.
Thomas f. Miller. president of the State
College for Colored Young Men and Wom-
en-. at Orangeburg. is one of the best
known "colored'' men in the United
States. although he is as white as any
healthy white man in the state and only
one-sixty-fourth part of him is negro. He
can trace his lineage back to 1858. and
owns the plantation Euhaw upon which
his white ancestors lived and are buried
in St. Luke's parish, Beaufort. S. c. He
was member of Congress during the
Harrison administration, having been
elected for two terms. Previously he
served for fourteen years as a member of
the South Carolina legislature, and after
retiring from Congress went back into
that body. where he was allowed to
remain till 1896. He was a member of the
constitutional convention OF 1895 and
made a gallant fight against the olsen
reimbursement of the negro. 1t is said
that the negro college of which he is now
president was established by democratic
votes in recognition of his ability and de-
votion to his people.

EXPERTS TO TEST SCHOOLS
WILL PASS JUDGMENT ON CON-
DITIoN OF BUILDINGS.
Commissioners Decide to Invite
Architects and Builders to Settle
Questions in Dispute.

In order that the general public may
know the true physical condition of the
various public schools the Commissioners
will invite a number of architects and
builders to serve as a special commit; ee
to examine all the buildings and report
their findings to them. These men are
to be of known standing. and who can
not in any way be regarded as tainted
with favoritism.
That this committee be appointed was
recommended by Commissioner Morrow
yesterday after reading in a morning
paper what he termed as an exaggerated
account of conditions at the Gage and
Mott schools. He has also recommended
that in the future all new school build
ings be officially inspected by the assist
ant engineer commissioner in charge of
buildings. assisted by the chief Of the fire
department. the health officer and the in
spector of buildings. With the exception
of the health officer. the officials men,
toned are those who conducted the ex-
animation of buildings under the fire
escape law.
This recommendation has been approved
by Commissioner Mcfarland.
