The Press and Clemson.

! QUIZ esteeme$ local eotemporary,
The Herald and News, says:
! "We notice that Clemson college
is going to extend an invitation to
: the Press association to meet next
year at the college and that the
college authorities will pay the expen-
ses Of a weeks entertainment out Of
their own pockets It would be bet
! ter, if the Press association is to be
invited to Clemson, in view Of the
criticisms that have been made, and
in order that the members may see
conditions as they are, that the mem
bers should 60 ther at their own ex-
pense and not as the guests Of the in
stitution they are to write Of as they
see it. It is not probable that the
association will accept an invitation
to hold an annual meeting there,
/ though it may be that the association
will accept the invitation to visit
Clemson during the meeting in Green
! vile next month"; 49,. .
Our cotemporary has probably fall.
i len into error. Where did it get the
information that "Clemson college is
! going to extend an invitation to the
Press association to meet next year at
the college,? And that "the college
authorities will pay the expenses Of
a weeks entertainment out of their
own pockets"?
AS to the first part of the state
ment: The college authorities have
not extended an invitation. The. facts
in regard to this are, that member
Of the press from Oconee county ask
ed authority Of the board Of trustees
to extend an invitation to the asso-
citation to meet at Clemson next year,
and that the authority was granted
him; and it is presumed he will ex-
tend the invitation when the assoeia-
ton meets in Green!'ille in July.
Nothing was said about paying the
expenses-only a few words of COM
mon courtesy, and expressing "a wish
that if the invitation were accepted
the authorities might be notified in
time to put things in proper shape for
their entertainment, or something to
that effect. =.
As to the second part Of the state
ment, the only foundation for it is a
simple and courteous invitation to the
Press association to come over from
Greenville, when they hold their ses-
sion there in July, and spend day,
and be the guests Of the college at
dinner.
There is certainly nothing in this
Invitation that can be construed into
an attempt to put the association
members under obligation to the col
lege authorities and thereby disarm
criticism. We are sure the college has
nothing to conceal from the Press as
sociation, nor from anyone else. They
would no doubt be glad to have the
editors see the plant and examine as
closely as they see fit into the work.
ings of the college, and to write free
" about everything connected with
it; but as for invitations there and
paying expenses, the authorities have
not issued any except "to visit Clem-
son during the meeting in Green
vile next month"; with the assurance
that dinner would be provided for
them-a matter of simple courtesy
and convenience in a country town,
where hote! accommodations are nee
essarilv very imited.-Newberry OBJ

CAR AND AUTOIN FATAL CRASH
One Dead, Three Hurt in Accident
Near Belton-James H. Cobb,
Supt. Belton Mills Killed.
News and Courier.

News and Courier.
Anderson, June 20.-James II.
Cobb, superintendent Of the Bolton
Cotton mills, is dead; the Rev. D. D.
Richardson, pastor Of the Second
Baptist church Of Bolton and the
Gluck Mills Baptist church of this
city, is in critical condition in a
hospital here; his wife is slightly in
jured, and the Rev. E. A. Mcdowell,
of Ninety Six, field agent Of the Bap-
tist Courier, is seriously hurt, as the
result Of collision between an inter-
urban car of the Anderson Traction
company and an automobile, which
occurred at Breazeale's Crossing, nine
miles east of Anderson, shortly before
noon today. The dead and injured
were occupants of the automobile.
The accident occurred at the foot
Of a smart grade and as the car was
coasting at the rate Of about fifteen
niles an hour. The automobile party
was sighted by those in the charge Of
the car-Conductor C. P. Burriss and
Mortorman E. E. Sanders-and the
usual signal given, there being plenty
Of time for the machine to clear the
crossing we'll in front Of the car.
When the front wheels Of the auto
mobile, however, had cleared the first
rail of the track, the engine seemed
to come to a standstill, and in few
second the car struck it. The machine
was thrown some twenty feet into the
air and smashed to splinters. All Of
the occupants were also thrown some
distance, and it seems miracle that
all were not killed outright.
Mr.. Cobb's skull was crushed IN
several places, his left leg and arm
were broken and the thigh crushed
into bits. He was also otherwise
bruised and mangled and lived but
few minutes after the crash. The
Rev. Mr.. Richardson skull was
fractured and his left leg and arm
broken, and he is yet unconscious.
The Rev. Mr.. Mcdowell was removed
from the scene of the accident to the
Bolton Hotel, where his injuries were
dressed. He is suffering from brok-
en- shoulder and arm and, while ser
iously hurt, his condition is not SER
ious. He was removed to his home at
Ninety Six late this afternoon, ap-
parently resting we'll. The injuries
sustained by Mrs. Richardson we're
slight, consisting chiefly of severely
sprained ankle. She is in the hospi-
tai with her husband. When the ac-
eident occurred the party was en-
route to Dorchester church, three
miles north Of Belton, to attend
meeting.
At the coroner's inquest at Belton
this afternoon the jury, after hearing
the evidence, returned the following
verdict. exonerating the men IN
charge Of the car from allz blame:
"We find, that the deceased came to
his death by being struck by trolley
car in West Belton, on what is known
as Breazeale's Crossing, as the result
of an accident

"Sec. 13. Before any warrant or
warrants can be drawn against the

bonds or derived from the special

"Sec. IA. The tax levy herein pro-
vided shall be levied and collected an

been raised to retire said bonds at

(This provides that the two mill

money has been collected to retire

mized statement Of the receipts and

mary Of the work done. -
publicity. Every man can know
how each dollar has been spent during
the year,
"sec. l6. Said commission shall
carry forward the permanent work
herein provided for as expeditiously
as possible and in selecting the
starting points and in otherwise de-
termining the roads to be built shall
make such selections as in their
judgment shall conserve the best in
terests of the greatest number Of the
people Of this county,
(The work will be started as soon
the the bonds are voted.)
Just a word as to what bonds are:
In this case they are merely the notes
Of the county fA~ borrowed money
bearing 4 1-2 per cent interest from
their date and becoming due in 80
and 40 years. That is all.
The bond plan i. the only equitable
way to get permanent roads, for they
give all the people tho benefit Of the
roads at oace. The pay-as-you-go
plan gives some Of the people the ben
eft of the roads at once while other
people must wait long years before
the roads in their sections can be
reached. Think this statement over
carefully and see if it is not true.
The people Of Newberry county on
August 81, will choose between pay
ing two mills for permanent roads
for all the people, or one mill for
patching the roads. This statement
is made because the legislature passed
an act levying one mill tax for roads
provided the two mill tax for bonds is
defeated. The people Of the county
have tried the patch system from the
beginning of its history, and as a
consequence have no roads today.
Don't throw away any more money.
One more statement. Three towns,
Ne wberry, Whitmire and Prosperity
with the railway, telegraph, telep-
hone and express companies, will pay
considerably more than one-half the
tax for good roads. The money will
be spent for the direct benefit Of the
farms. The towns, railways, tele-
graph and telephone comps MES Tlli
be benefited indirectly through the
development of the country districts
but only in that way. A word to the
wise farmer ought to be sufficient.
