Picture country estate or 1,5O0
acres, with stately buildings placed at
elevated points to form a great irregu-
lar circle of half mile in diameter.
Inclose in this circle beautiful grove
of native oaks, threaded by smooth
drivewayS and paths and cement side
walks. Turn to the north and for a
background outline against the sky at
a distance of 20 miles, range after
range Of mountains, the home Of the
Highlands, of Caesars Head, White
sides and other lofty peaks Of the Blue
Ridge. Think Of these mountains as
in summer clothed with verdure,
standing out black against the hori-
zon, and in winter often white with
snow. Take for the southern boun-
Diary a river of Indian lineage and
follow in it's sweeping crookedness the
swift and turbulent Seneca as it twists
this way and that to mark the confines
Of the estate. And to this setting add
broad expanses Of river bottom lands
green with corn. steep hillsideS slnu-
Gus with level grassy terraces and cool
pastures with winding brooks and
graceful shade trees and you have a
picture of Clemson College, not col
ored to suit the canvas of an artist,
but as seen every year by nearly a
thousand young South Carolinians
who seek amid these surroundings an
education that will prepare them for
self-respecting, self-supporting citi-
zenship.
A Storied Spot.
Clemson College is a unique blend
ing Of the old and the new, of the his
toric with the now. Just across the
road from the cadet dormitories,
which every session house over 500
young men, and in sight Of the new
electric power station that day or
night beats as the industrial heart Of
the community, is the white columned
mansion Of the illustrious John c. CAL
houn. One can almost picture the
great statesman, as with hands be-
hind him he PAGES the avenues of
cedar and oak, putting into form those
matchless ideals Of patriotism whose
fulfllment he never lived to see.
About so yards to the rear of the
mansion is q queer little one-story
room structure with columned porch
to match the mansion. This was the
study" Of the great statesman, and
here were written many Of his great
orations. Under this little study,
which is about 20 feet square, is dug
q deep pit in which ice cut in winter
was stored for summer use. How the
seasons must have changed, for only
during one or two winters Of the 20
which the writer has spent in the "up
country" has ice formed in sufficient
thickness to justify such ample stor-
age.
In the old mansion are many his
toric relics, including chair used by
Gen. George Washington, and a seven
foot mohair- covered lounge on the
back Of which is carved the American
eagle. 1t is said that the engraving
on our coins was copied from this
carving.
The old mansion with its historic
memories, the peer Of the Hermitage,
Mount Vernon and Monticello, is a

Public Service.

But the trustees Of Clemson College
have not only organized an efficient
system of fertilizer inspection and an
alysis, by which the farmer gets value
received from the tax he pays, and
built and maintained great agricul-
tural and mechanical college, but they
have gone a step farther than is re-
quired by their compact with the peo-
pie and have sought to return to those
who pay the tax in the shape Of di-
rect service, all that could be spared
over and above the cost of operation
and building. The public service has
grown as the fertilizer tax has grown
now reaching an annual total Of over
100000.
Clemson College, with it's plant we'll
developed, it's patronage assured and
overtiowing, it's lines of public service
popular and efficient, has behind it a
creditable record of achievement, and
before it a future bright with the
promise of usefulness to South Caro-
lima.

HOPING and Having.

Il is well to hope for better times
but better to have better times. This
thought comes from reading the fol-
flowing editorial by the Logan Ban
iner:
Many Of the operators in this field
who have been interviewed as to the
outlook in the coal business seem to
he Inclined to the belief that the new.
year has something better in store
ForE the coal industry everywhere.
That this is true is the hope Of all,
especially of the people OF Logan
county AS II is at present, with less
than half time being had all over the
county by the workingmen, this
Christmas will not be as merry as the
one last year, If We are to Judge from
what the laborer has to buy with"
The Logan newspaper is mistaken
vas TO the present situation, according
b the Democratic press. There has
been no depression, they say, there Is
none now and there will never be any.
The Logan newspaper ought to corr
rect the truth 1t has uttered about
conditions, as lies serve some better
Just now.

A DUsBWAITER THAT DELIVERS

A dumbwaiter that performs al
most as well as the human variety
and is a good deal more reliable, has
been Installed by large business
house. 1t is used for carrying
books and parcels between the floors
OF q large building, not for trans
porting food, but 1t suggests the pos
sibiiity Of meals served by electric
ity.
The dumbwaiter is operated by q
large number Of electric push but
tons. When a certain button upon
the fourth floor. for example. is
pressed. the machine comes to that
floor and stops. In response to an
other button, 1t opens its doors and
by the pressing Of yet another but.
ton, 1t may be despatched to any
floor In the building; and when it
gets there, II automatically dis
charges its load upon any receptacle
that Is placed before it. II any mis-
take has>been made, the dumbwaiter
may be recalled before 1t has
reached Its destination.
1t certainly is but q step from this
TO one that will. bring UP
a course from the kitchen and de-
post II upon the serving table. It Is
even conceivable that the principle
might be extended so that the ma.
chine might distribute the soup
plates and that without the immi-
nent risk Of deluge which attends
the employment of an erring human.

Bad Teeth u Cause Of Cancer.


Constant irritation OF any part OF
theg body is now well recognized as
an important contributory cause of
cancer. One of the forms OF irritation
which has been repeatedly observed
to result In this disease is the con-
slant friction Of the sharp edges of
bad teeth or OF imperfect plates
against the sides Of the tongue.
To be sure, sores on the tongue
caused in this way do not always be-
come cancer. Neither are wounds
from toy pistols always followed by
lock jaw. But there is danger in both
cases, and it Is as easy to avoid 1t in
the one as in the other. A bad tooth
should never be tolerated in any
event, and the danger OF cancer Ia
only one more good reason for having
1t attended to.
Cancer of the tongue may occur at
any age, but it is most common be-
tween 40 and 60. Statistics show
very few cases under thirty. The
majority OF these cases occurred In
females, while In later years males
were found to be more frequently at
tackled. Cancer OF the tongue In young
subjects is especially fatal. Out Of
thirty cases there were only two re-
coveries. The others died within ten
snCnths or could not be traced. AS
one-thifd Of all the cases investigated
haze been shown to be definitely
associated with Jagged or decayed
teeth or imperfect plates 1t would
seem that here, at least, is one method
q preventing cancer.
n Is probable that other conditions

Silent about Mexico.

"Watchful waiting" evidently has
been consigned to the dusty archives
OF national history so far as President
Wilson is concerned. 1t has not been
many moons since hts secretary Of
state, William ]. Bryan, WAS filling
the newspapers with the expression
and lauding the Wilson Mexican poll
icy. 1t has been fewer moons since
Wilson withdrew United States troops
from Vera Cruz. Indeed, there has
been nothing OF such International
Importance in the transactions of the
United States In the last twelve
months as those relating to Mexico
and the Mexican question Is more
or less burning one to the American
people. Yet Congress is not advised
Iby the president in his annual adj
dress as to what the administration
tailed to accomplish or as to what its
present policy is. Instead the Mex
lean subject is ignored altogether,
even without promise to tell Congress
later about our relations with that
country and what policy the United
States is to pursue. There is some
thing wrong. The New York Sun
says the presidents silence in this
respect is significant. The Sun says:
Possibly the presidents message to
Congress yesterday presented no fea-
tlre more significant than its absolute
silence concerning Mexico and the
Mexican policy of Mr.. Wilson and Mr..
Bryan, his secretary Of state.
From beginning to end not one word
even remotely referring to the great
est event in the experienc OF the adj
ministration, to the most conspicuous
|of departures from the accustomed
paths OF common sense and sound
principle, to the most discussed en-
terprise of altruism and service"
that our government ever undertook!
There are many words in the message
about the need by other nations Of
"our help and our manifold services;
about the readiness of the United
States "to serve greatly, generously.
many words and phrases, In the alb
stract, like to these; but not single
word specifically referring to the
service" which Mr.. Wilson's admin
istration has rendered, OF is render
ing. or is about to render to the un-
fortunate republic OF Mexico. We
speak advisedlys Not merely not one
page or paragraph; not one word
about Mexico!
Yet one year ago Mexico was at
the very front in President Wilson'S
annual communication to the Con-
lgress on the state OF the Union.

Hardine's Iiirb view.

Warren G. Harding, Ohio United
States senatorrelect, has not hesitated
to declare himself on the railroad
rate question. His views are sound.
Such utterances as the following show
him q statesman:
The argument has never appealed
to me that we ought to prosper our
railroads for the specific purpose Of
promoting general prosperity. il
seems to me more important to pros
per our transportation lines as a
simple matter OF fairness and justice
to this most important single agency
in-uur modern lives
Senator-elect Harding scars far
above the average man in the thought
that we ought not to prosper our
railroads for the specific purpose Of
promoting general prosperity" He
deals with the railroads as temples
Of transportation and as the most
important agencies in our modern
lives. To weaken the temples is to
cause them to crash and the result Is
elimination Of these important factors
from our means OF living. To keep
them efficient It Is necessary that they
have sufficient funds to maintain
themselves, to be amply and properly
operated and to be extended as de-
velopment demands require. They
must get their revenues from them
who use them. They have no other
sound source Of revenue except from
shippers and If compelled to issue
bonds and give mortgages. they
naturally head toward bankruptcy.
In the end they will fail and fall, thus
forced TO do, and our modern life will
suffer.
Fairness and Justice for the trans
p6rtation lines are urged by Mr..
Harding. That is but right and 1t is
the part Of wisdom as well as such
will maintain these great agencies
in our progress. The public, the ma
ton, can not afford to crush these
lines.
On the other hand the railroads
themselves must be Just and fair, a
large degree of which they have
shown in recent years. They can not
expect the nation to treat them fair
and just, II they in turn are unfair
and unjust.
