to follow up the suggestion which the
editor Of The Herald ard News made
some time ago to start pathfnders to
the county seats from the capital.
That is right. That will do good and
I hope the editor will give this enter
prise on the part of Columbia's after
noon paper his hearty encouragement
and endorsement. That will do more
good in stimulating interest in the
building Of roads in our own State
than belittling the work Of the At
lanta Journal and New York Herald
as advertising schemes Of these two
newspapers. I want to see Newberry
fall in line and get one good road
through this county. We ought to
have two good roads from Newbery,
one on to Laurens and one on to
Greenwood. If we can get the road
from Columbia to the Newberry line
We will do the rest through this coun-
ty. Let the good work proceed. In
fact this is the best route to Spartan
burg, and to Union, via Whitmire.

The question as to whether or no
Clemson college is State lnstltuVlo1
is to be decided by the United State:
s,,nreme court soon. The case II
onestion has arisen out Of a sui
AGAINST the trustees by John Hopkins
resident of Oconee county for dam
AGES alleged to have been sustained o1
him, because Of the action OF the trns'
tees in changing the course OF 1ns
Seneca river. Judge Aldrich turned
down the complaint of Hopkins CT
the ground that Clemson IS a State
institution, and Judge Aldrich was
sustained by the State supreme court
Hon. Joseph A. Mccullough has been
associated with R. T. Joynes, ESD
counsel for plaintiff, and the matter
is going up to the United States su-
nre1ne court.-Yorkville Enquirer.
This question of Clemson college
being or not being State institution
reminds US of the reply Of a bright
and charming young lady stenogra-
pher who applied for position ana
tbe gentleman to whom she applied
asked her about her disposition ana
2he promptly answered that as TO her
disposition she was pleasant or dis
agreeable as circumstances required
Clemson college is State institution
or not a State institution as. clrcum-
stances REQUIRE. The life trustees are
aoants Of the State or not agents OF
the State as circumstances require
When it comes to a citizen asking
DAMAGES and undertaking to sue the
college then it is State INSTITUTION
and can't be sued. When 1t comes to
seeking another office in violation OF
tho State constitution then the ma
ioritv life trustees are the represen'
tatives Of Mr.. Clemson>s will and no'
AGENTS Of the State because they are
life members and life tenure IS moi
permitted under the constitution OF
the State. Maybe the discision OF the
sunreme court of the United State:
will settle the question and maybe
not.

We notice that Hon. R. |. Manning
after long conference with the
chairman Of the board, Mr.. Alan
Johnstone, has decided to accept the
life trusteeship Of Clemson college
which was rendered him some time
ago. How will these two members OF
the board manage in their race tor

hardly have two representatives IN
the field for governor. Maybe Mr.
Manning has been headed off by a
trusteeship.

/ have been thinking good deal
about that argument on prohibition
which was sent The Idler and which
appeared in this column. I have Won
dered if the same energy and effort
and eloquence were put on the IN
struction and training Of our people
along the lines Of temperance and es-
pecially the children that is expended
in trying to take the thing away by
law and trying to make the people
temperate by statute that the results
might be different. And another
thing: I heard man say once that II
all the prohibition orators and poll
ticians and advocates would quit
drinking it would help the cause very
materially. Now don't know about
that, but I have, in my limited exper-
ience, seen some of the loudest talk
ing prohibitionists take the biggest
kind of drinks. But I concluded that
thew were so in love with their broth
er that they wanted to be their
brothers keeper to the extent OF re-
moving all temptation.
Then ! don't think prohibition IS
occarding to Scripture nor IS 1t IN ac-
cordance with nv idea Of democrat
ic country. 1t do not believe prohibl-
ton is the way to cure the evil and
I do not believe it is according to the
teaching of Scripture to remove temp
tation. But I am not going to have
anv argument with any one on the
subject. and I am simply expressing
my individual opinion. May be that
will be prohibited before long as we
are trying to run everything by
statute nov -a-davs.
I would have YOU understand that
I am against the abuse Of wine and
strong drink as much as any one, but
I do not believe the passage Of sump-
tuarv laws is the way to accomplish
that end. Sometimes man goes
astray by playing cards and betting
on them. Why not pass law to pro-
hibit the manufacture and sale of
PLAYING cards and thereby cut out
whist parties and bridge? The argu-

What is the cause of the physical de-

The city.
Two hundred years ago 25 per cent of
Englands population lived In cities; now
nearly rs per cent live in these urban

the city eats 1t up.
