Some Appropriations.

ing an appropriations OF s60.000
made Cor the dredging out OF the
mouth to the dry dock OF the Char
lesion navy yard. The navy depart
ment experts have been claiming tina:
there is deposi, OF silt in the river
opposite the dry docks mouth which
prevents large ships going into the
dock and the purpose OF this appro-
priation is to have the silt removed.
Inasmuch as there was no river and
harbor bill passed at the recent ses-
sion. there was no appropriation
made for the general improvement OF
the Charleston harbor. and this will
not be available until the next resu-
lar session. when rivers and har-
tors bill will be brought in.
Senator Tillman. however. had had
PIT in the special appropriation bill!
al item o. $1,000 for the Port Roy
al station and he intended to look az
ter the item when the bill went to
conference. but the conference COM
mittee met late at night when the
South Carolina senator was absent
and the item was lost IN tfa: way.
For the marine barracks at For,
Mouitrie the senator had put in the
bill an appropriation OF $4,000. which
remains and will be available after
the first Of July.

provided for oy an appropriation OF
s2.500 IN the sundry civil appropria.
ton bill It will be left to the OF
dc!als Of the department to determine
where this fish hatchery will be To-
Gated. but It will probably be in the
coast section OF the State.
Senator Tiliman IS very much
pleased on account OF the election oi
Prof. Riggs as president Of Clemson
College. He attended the recent
meeting OF the Clemson board and
was gra:ifed that the board unani-
mously came TO his opinion that Mr.
Riggs is the best man for the presi.
dency The senator considers that
his long familiarity with the coEGi'
tionS AZ Clemson. his magnetic per
sonal:ty and his youth and energy
will enable Mr.. Riggs TO accomplish
great deal as the head OF the !ns;i-
Il n n
70. some time and things have beer
moving very smoothly during tha;
time.
Senator T!llman keeps thoroughly
posted on South Carolina affairs and
readily discusses the fine points o!
the recent controversies which have
been going on in the State. He Is
strongly Of the opinion that there Is
no violation OF the constitution n
any one holding the position OF State
college trustee AMI another office. bu.
IS glad that the matter will be set
