Football Not a PIuskjp.

That phrase so much used in the
Football season, Chasing the pigskin,"
involves a popular error. The foot.
ball Ia not made of pigskin, but of the
hide OF the calf or COW, and, for the
cheaper variety, the skin Of the sheep.
Footballs Of the ordinary grade are
made In this country, but some Of the
finest, sold to those who are not par
hoular about price, are imported from
England, where the industry was an
old one before It was started in Amer.

MORGAN WILL nor GIVE
UP STOLEN PROPERTY

1t is to be hoped that the state
Of Virginia will institute suit in the
United States supreme court for
the recovery of the will of Martha
Washington-and it is further to
be hoped that the state will win.
Some time during the civil war
this will was torn from the book
of records of Fairfax county, Va,
and was carried away with other
papers of great historical value.
After nearly half a century it
came to the knowledge of the Viz
GINA authorities that this now al
most priceless document from the
historical and sensational stand
point, had in some manner come
into the possession of the late Pier
pont Morgan before his death and
was part Of his collection. Demand
was made upon Mr.. Morgan for its
restoration before he died. but he
declined to surrender it, declaring
that his title was valid, running
back to one who had acquired it as
c~ontraband of war.
So the state authorities of Vir-
ginia will bring suit in the federal
supreme court against Morgan's
son under the constitutional provis-
ion for the fling in that court of
suits in which a state is a party.
The VirginiaIs arc prepared to
deny that a public document, stol-
en- by vandals from the public ar
chives, can be held to be contra
band Of war by any usage of the
term. But regardless of what the
courts may discover as to what may
or what may not be made contra
band of war, a public which re-
veres the name of Washington will
resent the determination o. the
Morgan family to retain as its
own e precious document that
should belong to it.
One cannot blame the young Nor.
gan for not giving up the will. He
may be excused for seeking to carry
out the wishes of his dead father
even though he may doubt its jus.
tice and good motive but does not
inject any kindly feeling into the
sentiment with which the public
recalls the memory Of the late
hypocritical old sinner to know
that he was so tenacious in his de-
termination to retain stolen prop
erty that was found in his posses
sion knowing, as he must have
known that it was stolen.
Most of us will be for the old
dominion in this litigation.--St.
Joseph Observer.

curao of Luxury.

The most judicious historians, the
most learned philosophers, and the
p~rofoundest politicians, all lay It down
Rs acertaln indispensable maxim, that
wherever luxury prevails, 1t never
falls to destroy the most fiouriBhing
states and Kingdoms; and the expert
ence of all ages, and all nations, does
but too clearly demonstrate the truth
OF this maxim.-Charles Rollin.

the secret Of making 'firewater" to
the Indians, and they were making a

yeast, which, when allowed to fer

for this brew, but in scarcely any in

Special to The Herald and News.
Clemson College, Sept. 1.-THE
22nd session of Clemson college began
last Wednesday morning with chapel
exercises at $50 o'clock. About SO
per cent. of the last year students. ex-
cepting the graduates, are present this
year. The new boys will arrive next
Tuesday, September 10, there being
about $50 boys expected to arrive on
that date. The total number Of ap-
plications for entrance numbered over
1000, but the barracks accommodates
only about $50; so the enrolment will
be about $50 this year. Several chang
es have been made in the faculty with
also som. additional members seeur-
ed for this session.
y, Improvements have been made on
the campus during the past summer,
but the greatest of these are the new
athletic field which is now being
graded, the grading comenced in June
and the field will be completed by
January /. Material has been laid
down for the new hospital and the
new laundry buildings.
During the past vacation the stu
dent body suffered the loss OF three of
it's members by death. Cadet w. R.
Jeter, of Union county, was struck
by lightning while working in Virgin
ia. He was an excellent athlete, hav-
ing played on the varsity football
squad last year, and was we'll thought
of by every student. Cadets G. F.
Lanham and D. W. Bush also were
called away during the vacation. AL
three of these students were highly
respected by both faculty and fellow
students.
The senior class held a meeting last
night and elected officers. The Off
GERS were as followWs: D. E. Swine
hart, president; w. A. Bigby, vice
president; C. B. Her, secretary-treas-
urer; W. J. Hunter, poet and J. c.
Cannon, class historian. The priVi-
leges for the senior class will be CIV
en- in a few days. The senior class
