Mr.. Hugh Wilson. for fiity years at the

the state has worked more feariessly aud
diligently for the upbuildng OF clean, Wig
orous, independent press.
The only pleasant thought in competition
with the announcement is best told In the
words OF the editor OF the AbbeviIle Medium:
"Mr. Wilson has amassed q omtoJtable for

Editor Wilson will attend the press eonveu-
tion In this city next week and tell bis

CADET MINISTRIES TO
SHOW IN ABBEVILLE

The "Citadel Cadet Minstrels" play
ed in Columbia Monday night, receiv-
ing much applause. The cadets re-
ceived encore after encore. The au-
dience sure manifested their apprecia-
tion of high class minstrel. The
performance was good one, and q
second performance for another night
was spoken of, but the cadets are not
showing in any town but one night.
If you wish to know of the class Of
this show, ask the people Of Charles
ton, Columbia or Orangeburg who
have seen the performance read the
complimentary reports and criticisms
from all these cities. In Charleston
the Cadet Minstrel, which was put on
in;Apul, was rated as the best Mins-

G. Fields and Lew Dockstader had
both played there in the same season.

IS CLEMSON A
State COLLEGE?
Status Of the Institution Will Be Deter
mined by U. S. Supreme Court.

Greenville, June S0.-Growing ou
of case which was decided by tht
Supreme Court of the State, the ques
ton as to whether Clemson College il
State institution or not, will be de-
finitely determined by Supreme Court
of the United States.
The case IL of especial interest to
the people of the State, now that there
have been 30 many questions raised In
regard to the College.
It is alleged by attorneys interested
in the case that the College is not q
State institution, as the will of Mr..
Clemson, which made the College pos.
sible, provided for board of trustees
which should be self.perpetuating.
On the first day of January, 1905,
DR.. John Hopkins, a resident Of Oco-
nee County, brought an action against
the Clemson Agricultural College for
damages, which be claimed that his
bottom lands sustained by reason OF
the erection by the Board Of Trustees,
of a large dixie on the eastern bank OF
the Seneca River, which dixie, 1t was
alleged, prevented the natural and &C.
customed overflow of the Seneca Riv-
er on said lands, thereby deprlving
them of the rich deposits necessary to
their continued fertility, and with the
result that said lands have gradually
become less and less productive, until
now they are comparatively worthless
for agricultural purposes. The dixie
was built under an Act Of the Legis-
lature, authorizing the same.
The suit was Instituted by Attorney
R. r. Jaynes, of Walballa. The case
was heard by Judge AIdrich, who de-
cided that Clemson was State insti-
tuition and that this suit was against
the State, and the complaint was dis.
missed. MIR. Jaynes appealed the case
to the Supreme Court of the State, and
the decision was sustained. .
The Hon. J. A. Mccullough was
employed to assist MI. Jaynes for the
purpose of having the question tested
In the Supreme Court of the United
States, and the said case is now No.
543 on that docket.
One of the main contentious of the
appellant is that, under the will OF
Clemson, who nominated the majority
self.perpetuating, the institution is not
State institution, and, therefore, the
Supreme Court of the State was in er.

A Peculiar Accident.

A correspondent, writing from
AuIander to the Roanake-Chowan
Times, relates this strange accident:
"a pecnliar accident haT pened to
the youngest child of Attorney and
Mrs. Alex Lassiter some days ago.
The child, which had just learned to
walk, was attacked by game rooster,
who flew upon and badly lacerated
the baby. Fortunately the child's
eyes. were not injured, owing to the
fact that its body was face downards
but the game cock left many scars and
bruises upon its neck and limbs. Had
not Mr.. Lassiter appeared on the
scene in time it is likely that the
child would have been killed. The
injuries were painful and might have
been serious"
