FORMER PAW PAW
MEN ARE H0NORED
William Fitzgeraid Is Chosen by the
Voters of Kalamazoo County as

of the young men of this part OF the
country who will be heard from and
who will undoubtedly make a greater
name fer himself in the future ae he has
greater opportunities opening before
him in which to prove his real worth.
He was the efficient city attorney OF
Kalamazoo and was presented by the
democrats OF that county as their
candidate for the state legislature and
won the day. We are interested in this
fact for the reason that Paw Paw has a
claim upon him as he was a graduate

WEARY WATSON MAY WANDER.
Governor Blease WHY Let Him Make

Columbia, Jan. 1S.-The State

passed resolutions asking that Com

OF the Southern Cotton Congress, and
| nominal head Of the movement 10

| to the other Southern States and
push the campaign for cotton reduc-
! ton under the Rock Hill plan"
certified copy of these resr'u .
tions was handed to Governor Cole
l.. Blease, and he consented to per-
! nit MIR. Watson to leave the State
| for this purpose.
John G. Anderson, the author and
| distributor Of the Rock Hill plan"
for reducing the cotton acreage, has
! been in the city for the past two days
| In the interest Of the movement. He
| Is anxious to get South Carolina to
push the campaign through, and
while there is some two months yet
/ In which to do the work, it IS hoped
! to have the pledges from every coun-
ty in by the end of another month,
and the energetic way in which Col.
Anderson is going about the matter
promises that this will be done.
Plan Endorsed.
The Farmers Union, in session
yesterday, heartily endorsed the
plan, and the officials Of that organ
ization are doing all they can to help
1t along. 1t Is the inten ton Of those
behind the movement to spread it all
over the South and get every State
possible covered as soon as possible
1t Is realized that by South Carolina
promptly getting in her pledges 1t
will have good moral effect in get
ting the other States to fall into line.

missioner Watson's visits would do
| so much good.
No Action Taken.
The Farmers Union has not taken

NO MORE TIPS by MIDDIIGS.
L. ;. Comptroller Decides Practice at
Naval Academy is Illegal.
washington POST

There will be no more tipping of
mess attendants at the United States
Naval Academy by midshipmen. The
future officers Of the navy were re-
llevcd Of that nuisance by a decision
OF Assistant Comptroller Of the Trea-
sury Mitchell yesterday.
For nearly six years the midship-
men have been contributing about
$100 month extra pay to the stew
ardsSand other employees, because
the government appropriation for
those employees has been held to be
insufficient to obtain competent men.
This has now been declared ilegaI,
because 1t practically amounts to n
government employee receiving two
salaries for the same work.

WINTHROP ASKS FOR LESS.
Increasing Efficiency Under a SpIen-
did System OF Rigid Economy.

Winthrop College, Jan. 15.sAAS Spe-
! cial: The annual report of the,Iboard
Of trustees vi Winthrop College to
the Legislature has just been printed.
1t contains great deal Of interesting
and valuable Information about Win
thfnp College The enrolment is
745, while the number applying for
admission this session was 1856.
Notwithstanding the greater enroll
ment this year the board Of trustees
is asking the Legislature for
smaller appropriation than last year.
The money asked for by the board
Of trustees is to provide for addi-
tional teaching and executive force,
with the additional expenditures re-
Quircd to care for one of the largest
educational institutions in the South,
and the only one supported by the
State Of South Carolina for young
women; also for work by Winthrop
for all Of rural school teachers of the
State rural schools; for country SUI
pervision of rural schools; for con-
duct Of an experimental school, and
for the extension Of the work in
household economics in the interest
OF tho women and homes In the
State.
The trustees claim that Winthrop
is one Of the most economical insti-
tutions in the country. The economy
that must be practiced in doing all
the appropriation asked for, Is seen
when it is known that 1t is only about
one-third Of the amount required to
run other institutions Of the same size
as Winthrop. South Carolina could
we'll afford to appropriate as much
money for higher education Of her
young women as she wisely does for
her young men, but, as matter Of
fact, she appropriates far less, al
though the young women outnumber
the young men Of the State, and a
far greater proportion are prepared
for college annually, as the records
Of the high schools will shows
We do not believe that any insti-
tuition similar to Winthrop is run
more economically, or can show
| greater or better results for the
| money expended by the State. For
every dollar appropriated by the
| State on the Winthrop plant we have
raised another dollar from other
sources, and the Winthrop plant is
| worth more than twice as much to
| the State to-day than the State has
| spent on 1t.
A new bulletin, called the "Rural
| Life Conference Bulletin has just
| been Issued by Winthrop College. 1t
| contains many Of the excellent adj
dresses delivered at the Rural Life
Conference held at Winthrop during
the summer school. This bulletin is
for distribution and may be obtained
by any one, free Of charge, who will
write President Johnson asking for 1T.
The first term examinations will
begin Monday, January 22, and will
close the following Monday, January

most striking feature OF the talk is
that it comes from the Northern
Democrats Of the House. There is
also renewed talk Of Speaker Champ
Clark and Governor Harmon, of Ohio.
The general impression seems to
prevail that neither Wilson nor Har-
mon can possibly get the necessary
two-thirds to nominate and that
either Oscar Underwood, Of Alabama,
Champ Clark, OF Missouri, or Cover
nor Foss, Of Massachusetts, may be
the compromise candidate.
II Underwood Lived North!
Beyond the shadow OF doubt if I'm
derwood, with his very remarkable
record as the most effective Demo-
cratic leader of the House since the
war, lived in either Ohio or New
York, he would be nominated with a
sweep. No other candidate could
stand for moment against him. The
question now is simply as to whether
or not his Southern environment will
initiate against him sufficiently to
deny him Southern support, for it is
generally conceded here that If the
south should get back OF his candi-
| dacy in determined way, no objec-
ton would be offered in the North
II he pays the penalty Of being a
Southern man it will be the South
and not the North to exact it.
