DIR NELL RRESIGNS.
Wishes to Retire from Presidency of
Clemson College.

Anderson, July 9.-At $50 this
afternoon at Clemson DR.. Nell SUBJ
mitted his resignation as president.
Tonight the board of trustees is con-
sidering it and will announce it's de-
-ision tomorrow morning.
It is understood that large ma
ority of the trustees are not in favor
o: accepting it and it is believed that
it will not be accepted and that the
board will adopt the recommended
tions made by DR.. Nell in state
ment which he submitted with his
resignation.
Clemson College, July 9.-The re-
ports in to-day's papers that DR.. P.
H. Nell had resigned the presidency
of Clemson College at the meeting of
the board of trustees last night had
no foundation in fact. The feeling
has got abroad that DR.. Nell might
resign at this meeting of the board,
but early this morning and again
late this evening DR.. Nell reiterated
statement that his resignation would
or would not be presented before the
adjournment of the board could be
had here up to a late hour. The
board is in executive session late to-
night and there will be another ses-
sion tomorrow morning. Until the
final adjournment is reached there is
little or no chance to get any au-
thoritative report of the proceed
ings.
Whether or not the resignation
will be presented tonight or to-mor-
row nobody knows. The members of
the board and DR.. Nell will not talk
for publication. The session last
night and the session to-day have
been taken up in a careful considera-
tion of the presidents annual report
and recommendation concerning the
various phases of college work and
progress, so that up to this time
there has been no chance for the pre-
sentation of President Mell's resigna-
ton If he intends to resign. Only he
knows that, 80 far as can be learned,
and he has been interviewed several
times during the day with the above
results.
Prof. William Riggs, when shown
the statement in the Charlotte dis
patch that he was spoken of as DR..
Mell's probable successor if DR.. Nell
should resign, made the following
statement:
II am not now and never have
been an applicant for the presidency
of Clemson College. I would not be
willing to forsake my profession for
the calling of college president here
or elsewhere"
Prof. Riggs is the director of the
engineering department. of the COL
lege.

Before the Pearlette Colony.

Before the days of the Pearl
cite colony, settlers in Meade
county were very scarse, and of
the few here, except in perhaps
one or two instances none had an
idea of farming, even as side
issue. Buffalo hunters located
in dugout temporarily, or a
summer camp of some ranch or
cow man accounted for the great
er party of the men in the coun-
ty. Emerson had located his
ranch at the grove on Crooked
Creek, few town site speculat-
ors had located and plated the
town of Meade City and built
some sod houses. Mr.. Coffee
was located north of the county
line as was Ben Haywood, Geo.
DeCow and G. M. Rice were in
the country as also some others.
Andor E1iason then lived about
where he does now. This refers
to 1877 and 1873. About this

his mules, at which he resisted
and was instantly killed and
scalped. A little further up the
trail they met c. M. Rice whom
they did not modest, and told him
Of killing the man above, but their
story was that they did not mean
to hear him; that he became ex-
cited and picked u, us winchest-
er when they killeu aim to pre-
vent his killing one or more of
them. They found Captain
French alone at Meade City, and
as he related the story to us in
1887, forced him to turn grind
stone which was there, while
they ground all of their scalping
knives. Captain French related
that he turned his stone while
they pricked him with their
knives to make him turn faster,
that he turned and sweat and
kept at it fully believing that as

All educated man, and naturally
a student began, after coming to
this county the reading of law.
Being examined, and admitted to
the practice of law he is a mem
Der of the Meade county bar.
However he never actively en-
gagged IN the practice Of that
profession. Later he invested
in draft horses, buying the best
strain of Percheron's. For
several years he has been i'm
proving and selecting the draft
horses of that breed on his ranch.
Last fall he took some of them
to the State Fair at HUI tchinson
where he carried off the best of
the prize money. But he has
never lost interest in the breed
ing of good driving horses, nor
dropped the Silver Thorn strain,
and has some fine specimens on
his place.

Meade City was located about

creased, the acreage grew until
the ranch fence enclosed 1880
acres of land comprising alfalfa
lands on the bottoms, hill pasture
and wheat land out on the flats.
Land in Meade county became
valuable and such as Mr.. Allen
owned some of it very valuable.
Offers for the ranch or parts of
it kept coming to him, till he
finally placed price on it, the
result being that it was not any
great length of time before his
price was taken and the land sold.
Before this he had obtained land
in the creek valley just northeast
of Meade. Upon the sale of the
ranch property he began improv-
ing this valley land. Building

from that orchard. Mr.. Allen
came here to engage in the stock
business but not to follow it on
the same lines as the rancherS of
that day did. He expected to
grow first class stock and raise
feed for the winter, while the
custom here then, was to depend
upon the buffalo grass for win
ter pasture. In accordance with
his plan, Mr.. Allen bought the
celebrated Hamblentonion STALL

This Mr.. Allen modelled after the

not find the better place. In ad-

time, that is from the 10 to the
18th of October 1873 Mr.. George
B. Allen with an uncle and a
friend, came in to the county and
the valley looking for a location.
No person whom they met knew,
orif knowing, where township
and section lines we're, would tell
them anything about auch things.
Some land men who professed to
know gave them, either intention
ally or ignorantly some infor-
nation which was misleading.
In that situation they began
hunting for corners, and located
the southeast corner of township
81 south of range % or on the
south side of township 81 and on
the line between ranges 2S and
II. From that base they located
and plated several sections, so
that they could inteHegently
make filing, on their arrival at
the land Office.
After starting back to the rail
road they met Mr.. John Jobling
Sr. with his two with his two
fellow committee men searching
for location for the Ohio colony
afterwards known as the Pearl
cite settlement. On arrival at
Larned they made their filings.
Mr.. Allen homesteaded IN sec
tons % and 14-31-29 and within
the legal limit of time settled up
on it.
Just before Mr.. Allen arrived
in the county, the last Indian
raid in Kansas had passed up
the valley. Some cowmen and a
bunch of soldies rounded them
up on a hill near where John
Fanchar now lives and held them
until night. The COW boys
wanted to change their position
but the officer in command of
the military detachment would
not permit it. In the morning
the Indians had departed. Pas
sing up the valley they met a
young man coming from Dodge
City with load of lumber for his
house on his claim. One of Mr..
Blossoms sheep herders saw
them from a distance, and as it
appeared to him the Indians

Public Sales.

which they are held. If the
farmers are reasonably success
full and hopeful the price obtain
ed at a sale will show that fact.
OF course granting that the auc-
tioneer is a good one. There
are other factors to be taken in
to consideration as the weather
and the advertising of the sale.
Last week ]. I. Stamper cried
two sales under difficulties, but
the prices obtained in both cases
good and in one the result was
surprise to the owner of the
goods. On December 18th he
cried a sale for Mr.. B. M. Dress
Ter at Plains, the weather being
bad, the crowd was not as large
as would have been desirable.
But prices obtained were good.
We wish to disgress long enough
to mention that Mr.. Dressler
came here 4 years ago with no
money and has been a Tenant
farmer on the Wilson land all of
the time. He made this sale to
to take up the electric lighting of
Plains in connection with Mr..
R. Elder. On the 18th, Mr..
Stamper cried a sale for Mr..
Holderman, and again the wealth
er, and the roads were bad, the
crowd in attendance not numer-
Gus, but prices were satisfactory.
Of course it takes a good auc-
t1oneer to get good prices from
men with cold feet and wet coats.
But neither do farmers who have
the blues attend sales or bid up
on property offered. Hence we
repeat that the public sales are
to a certain extent an index of
the prosperity of the community
in which one is held.
