Clemson Loses Suit.

Clemson Agricultural College of
South Carolina has lest its fight in the
United States supreme court to escape
suit for payment of $4,000 to DR.. John
Hopkins, for damages alleged to have
been done to his land by the building
of a dixie on Seneca river in Oconee
county, South Carolina. The South
Carolina courts held that the college
was an agent Of the state and could
not be sued. Justice Lamar holds
that this view was wrong. and directs
further proceedings, looking toward a
hearing of the suit.
This decision is complete knock
out for the contention that Clemson
College is state institution. The ef-
feet of the decision is far-reaching.
Besides affecting the status of the COL
lege. it makes unnecessary the quo
warranto proceedings, contemplated
by a recent resolution of the general
assembly, to determine whether a
trustee of Clemson who holds another
state office is violating the constitu.
tional inhibition against one person
holding at the same time two state
Offices of trust and profit.
