The Murder Of Miss Elsie Sigel.

It is not often that there is suf.
ficient moral to be extracted from
brutal murder to make it worthy
of notice in an editorial. The re-
Gently discovered murder of Miss
Elsie Sigel, of New York, by a
Chinaman who was successfully
her Sunday school pupil, her
lover, and then her murderer, is
however, an exception.
This case demonstrates 80
strikingly the danger to American
girls and young women who
undertake to inculcate Christian
ity in the hearts of the "heathen
Chinee" that it is worthy of some
thought by all the parents whose
religious zeal is such that they
may at some time be tempted to
sacrifice their daughters on this
altar of missionary fervor.
It is possibly a trite assertion
that many a true word is spoken
in jist, but he who will not learn
truth from humorous writings
must miss half the knowledge
presented to his understanding.
It was Bret Hart who in a hui
morous poem remarked that.
"For ways that are dark and
tricks that are vain, the heather
Chinese is peculiar, and no truer
assertion was ever made in the
utmost seriousness. The pecu.
liarities of the Oriental mind are
far too deep to be fathomed by
American men, to say nothing of
American women and girls, and
the parent who permits his daugh-
ter to enter into that close associa-
ton with Cinnamon, which is the
inevitable outcome of Sunday
school classes, should realize that
he is far more likely to be con-
tributing to the work of the evil
one than to that of God. There
is ample opportunity for the ex-
preston of missionary zeal among
the poor and unfortunate of our
own race, and the conversion of
Cinnamon should at least be left
to men missionaries.

A newspaper can never very
creditably represent town whose

He may howl himself hoarse
Dragging about vim, energy, and
enterprise of his town, but if his
declarations are not backed up by
a liberal amount of advertising by
the business men of the town
the world will be slow to take his
statement as true. It takes more
than the local newspaper man to
prove to the world that his town is
the financial center, the best mar
ket and the best place on earth

Expenses Of the State Game Com
mission. -

President F. M. Miller, of the
State Game Commission, has is.
sued a statement of the income
and expenditures of the Com mis-.
sion for the six months ending
May 81, 1909.
The total incomes from hunters
licenses and licenses from fisher
men since the commission organ
ICED in September last is S91, 900.
OF this sum $50, 900 came from the
hunters not more than $500 being
paid by non-residents. The Ii
censes paid by fishermen were
$1,000. Mr.. Miller is disappointed
over the income from nonresident
hunters.
The expenses for six months ag-
gregating S38,171, apportioned as
follows:
Rent, $40; postage, s196; print
ing, S1,205; boats. 81, 249; Office
fixtures, S576; salaries of Office en-
ployes, including the president.
81 1916: commissioners expenses,
$S71; wardens' salaries, $26, O68;
wardens' expenses, So, 3O1.
The salaries of the wardens are
now SIS per month. This includes
1888 per month for expenses which
are limited. 1t was found that
some Of the wardens spent much
more than this sum and rendered
expense bills. The average was
about SIS per month so the COM
mission now RENTS every warden
50 81 monthly for an expense
account and restricts the expense
to this sum.

The Wisdom of the South.

Under the above caption the
Wall Street Journal has this tt
say of the South:
"No portion of the country has
taken the wiser counsel of itself
than the South during the two
years of depression through which
the country has been passing. Fol
the first time in our history the
South has been we'll protected by
reserves of money and means OF
self-help. It's financial institu-
tons have demonstrated their
capacity to endure a strain. 1t
is no small credit to the Southern
banking interests to have passed
thus far through dull period
with so few failures and so little
distrust on the part of the public.
1t has begun to recover from some
of the mistakes of extreme legis-
lation relating to railroads. The
intervening years have been costly
to the public and to the carriers.
But now compromises have been
reached from court decisios yet to
be heard from have the questions
at issue in hand. The SOLDERING
process has gone far in advance
of court conclusions, and has
called a halt on ill-calculated
legislation.
meanwhile Southern factories
have been building almost regard
less of the temporary check on
manufacturing enterprises. South
ern manufacturing is less hamper.
ed by price agreements, and there
fore all the freer to put its quota
ton at a level which will bring
business.
"Finnaly, Southern agriculture
is on more secure financial foun.
datioa than ever before. There are
still comparatively few farmers
who are we'll to do. AS they have
prospered, there has come in
creased ability to use capital prof
itably in the improvement of agri-
cultural methods, and a wider ap-
probation of the problems of mar
keting their products"

eyes, I have seen what Capt.
Minus had to say in the papers. I am
sorry he saw fit to pursue that course.
I don't think it will do any good
and I hope that it won't do any harm.
II do not feel called upon to dis
-:euss the rather uneomplimentary
references made by Capt. Minus to
the president Of the College, the fac
ulty and the board Of trustees.
II might add that to the student
body Capt. Minus proved himself a
good commandant and received moth
ing so far as I know from the board,
either collectively cr individually, but
> words Of praise, and feel sure that
I voice the sentiment of the board
when I say that we regretted that he
found grievances, whether real or
Imaginary, sufficient to cause. his res
ignation.
II must say, in short, however,
that I differ with Capt. Minus as to
the gruesome picture he paints of af--
fairs at Clemson College with regard
to law and order among the cadets.
There was never time in the history
of the College when the boys were
more orderly and we'll behaved nor
when more or harder work in the
classes was Deing done, and so long
as that is true, and the young men
are meeting the expectations Of par
ents and guardians in the matter OF
education, these questions of author
ity, whether trivial or not, will cut no
