Attorney Generals Opinion.

Attorney General Lyon holds that
the life trustees of Clemson college
under the will OF Thomas G. Clem-
son, are not State officers within the
meaning of the constitution. We are
inclined to think that the attorney
general is correct. Clemson college
is private corporation supported by
State funds. This situation will have
to be changed some day.-Yorkville
Enquirer.

A bill has been introduced in the
legi. !ature making the position of
commissioner of agriculture, now
held by Col. Easy Job Watson, elec-
tive by the legislature instead of ap-
pointive by the governor. Col. Wat
sons term expires in March, and it
appears that some of the legislators
are determined to save his scalp ii
possible, as the governor seems GER
tain to turn him with the dry cattle
after that time.

Suppose it Were You.

The Herald subscribers agree that
the pay-in-advance plan for newspa-
per subscriptions is best for every
body concerned. They get what they
order and pay for, and do not have
big bills accommodating for back SUBJ
scriptions for papers which they may
not want.
There are a few people, however,
who still think that modern newspa-
pers should be run on the old pay
as-you please plan,-at the end of a
year, two years, five years or never.
For the benefit of these few we want
to ask a question.
Suppose you were in our place?
Suppose you were a two-horse
farmer, and had a lot of money tied
up in your land, stock, farming i'm
plements, etc., and had to pay cash
for your labor, fertilizers, supplies
etc.
Then suppose you planted so acres
in corn, and made $500 bushels at
a cost of $500.
Would you sell all this corn, in
bushel lots, to $500 people, scat
tered all over the United States, and
wait year or two, or upon the con-
venience of the buyers, to get your
pay, and try to make another crop,
while waiting, to be sold in the same
way. In addition to selling the corn
out in bushel lots, would you send
it by mail, in pint packages, and pay
the postage on it, in order to get peo-
pie to buy on credit, to be paid for IN
a year if they like it and don't forget
about it?
If you would do that, then you
would send out papers on credit, II
you were in our place. If you would
do either, in these times of the high
cost of everything, lunacy commits
sion ought to be appointed to investi'
gate your condition.

MURDERER AWAITING DEATH.
Ruth Wheeler's Slayer Executed Be.
fore Daylight To-day.

Ossining, N. Y, Jan. 2S.-1n his
cell next door to the death house in
Sing Sing prison, Albert w. Wolter,
the degenerate youth who murdered
and burned Ruth Wheeler in New
York nearly two years ago, awaited
tonight with a stolid nerve the final
expiation of his crime by death be-
fore daylight tomorrow.
The visit of VOTERS aged parents,
who came up from New York dur
ing the afternoon, was affecting, but
the doomed youth went through it
without emotion.
The Rev. F. F. Burmeyer, who re-
NAMED with the condemned man dur
ing the evening, said that Wolter
seemed reconciled to his fate. The
witnesses to the execution will be re-
strictd to the usual number of Is,
as required by law.
The crime for which Wolter pays
the penalty was one which shocked
the country, when the charred and
dismembered body of Ruth Wheeler
was found on a fire escape outside of
VOTERS East Side apartment. The
girl, who was trying to help support
a widowed mother, went to VOTERS
rooms in answer to his advertise
ment as ''stenographers wanted" !"
She was there mistreated and
strangled to death. The date of the
murder was March 25, 1910.

Beats Cotton.

A farmer in Bullock county, Geor-
gia, says he realized S270 in one year
from what was a young SOW two
years ago. Last year her progeny
yielded 5000 pounds of meat, and
she yet has II sucking pigs. That
is equivalent to six bales of cotton
at prevailing prices. This farmer
produced enough corn 10 feed his
hogs-and a lot to sell at the mark
ct. This is one farmer who is learn
ing that cotton is not the only crop.
The acreage in his part of Georgia
will be cut down in 1912.-Anderson

Representative J. A. Hunter in
forms US that he and the other mem
.bers of the Bamberg county delega-
tion in the general assembly will op-
pose with all their power the propo-
sition to allow Orangeburg county to
vote on the question of dispensary or
no dispensary. We hardly believe the
legislature will pass a bill allowing
any county to vote on the dispensary
this year, as it seems to be the idea
to keep the whiskey question down
for this year at least.

The Arkansas State Fair manage
ment has this year given more atten-
ton to amusement features for the
visitors than ever before, and small
fortune has been invested in amuse-
ment enterprises for the 1912 fair.
A complete list of these big attrac-
ticns is impossible at this time as the
booking of attractions is still going
on. Up to this time, however, the
management has booked three times
as many big shows and open air acts
than has ever been offered at a pre-
vious fair.
THE Dance of the Nations" and
The dwelling of an Arkansas Gem"
accompanied by great display Of
day fireworks, is one of the big
features.
PAINS Last Days Of Pompeii," the
greatest pyrotechnic spectacle ever
given, is another daily feature.
Fire chariot races every night
around the mile race course.
Eight big free aerial, acrobatic and
vaudeville acts, every day.
Balloon and aeroplane ascensions
and flights.
"101 Ranch" wild west shows, with
In the fair grounds.
Fifty big shows in Amusement Park,
afternoon and night. - - sc
Merry-go-round, Ferris wheel, and
other concessions.
Band and orchestra concerts, morn
ing, afternoon and night. -
Grand parade of winners from the
live stock department.
Amusement Park will this year af-
ford the greatest attractions ever as
sembled including so big shows on ex-
hibition both afternoon and evening.
The following is partial list Of
these big events, everyone of which
has been a metropolitan attraction
during the summer months, and which
have been assembled here for the
final stand of the season.

There was theIold maiden lady Of
Strathspey who babe her granddaughter

her funeral as had been used at her
baptism. The churchyard was ten
miles from her home; it was shorl
November day; and night was closing

rived. "But whaur's Miss Ketty?" ask

from the fact that Agricultural Hall,

from every. section of the state will
be on exhibition. This hall has been
entirely rebuilt, enlarged and rear

The Progressive party has opened
the campaign of 1916 with Theodore
Roosevelt as a candidate for presi'
dent.
1t stands for Socialism for votes
and politicians for offices.
The socialists are for principle
they are not particular about the or
fices.
The Progressives are for Offices
they are not particular about the
principles.
The socialists are for anybody who
will accomplish their ends.
The progressives are for anything
that will yield an office.
The campaign of 1916 will see a
progressive ticket run on a socialist
platform, as was the progressive ticket
OF 1912.
The socialists will run a ticket IN
1916 on their own platform.
In 1920 the socialists will provide
the platform and the progressives the
candidates, il the combined vote OF
the socialists and progressives in 1916

Don't shoot in the air. Don't cling

and get down to the facts.
