The candidates for the presidency
of the State Colored College are said
to be N. J. Frederick, N. G. Nix, ]. E..
Wallace, M. C.SMance and. Prof. Will
kinson Who will be chosen is not
known.
N. j. Frederick, of Columbia, Is
candidate for the presidency Of the
State Colored College. He. is a son
Of the Rev. B. G.. Frederick, which is
good recommendation for him
within itself.

President Miller of the State Col
ored College denies the statement at.
tributed to him that he would run
for congress if he was made to resiZn
his position. We never did believe
that Miller made the threat attrib-

Remember that tomorrow evening

The trustees of the State Colored
College will find 1t a Gerry hard mat
ter to elect a president Of that in
stitution who will please the colored
people. There are two factions
among them, and one or the other
will begin to knock the new PR i
dent an soon as he is named.
Ever since Miller was put at the
head Of the State Colored College
here he has been .antagonized by a
certain class Of colored people in the
State. Notwithstanding this opposi-
tion, Miller has made success of his
work at the college, and we doubt if
a better colored man can be found In
the State for the. position.
