TILlhAA OPPOSES CHANGE,
WILL FIGHT VIOLATION OF CLEM-
son DEQUEST CONTRACT.
Gives His Reason for Objecting to
Proposed Change in Name of Glenn
son College and Taking Control of
Institution by State.

Columbia, Feb. S.-"If an endow-
ment Of s1,000,0O0 were offered 10
Clemson college today, / would not
consent to the violation of The con-
tract under which the state accepted
the beQucst from Thomas c.. Clcm-
son." said Senator Tillman Yesterday,
in discussing the proposed plan of
changing the name Of Clemson to CAL
houn university and taking the con-
troll OF the institution out of the
hands Of the self-perpetuating board
Of trustees created under the terms
OF the Clemson will.
"Col. r.. w. Simpson, Mr.. Clemson
and myself decided on the plan OF a
seli-pcrpetuating board Of trustees
for the management of the college,
because we wanted to keep the con-
troll of the institution out of the
hands Of negroes, and OF those worse
than negroes, Cor all time" added
Senator Tillman. 1.-The self-perpetua-
ting board holds the college aloof
from politics and 1 will never conse mt
to any change in the present plan of
managing Clemson which might af-
feet its usefulness"
Senator Tillman said that if the
general assembly should agree to the
recommendation of the governor
that Clemson college be renamed CAL
houn university and the present meth
Cd OF control changed. he believed
that the board of trustees would take
the matter to court, not because they
wanted to retain their power, but be-
cause they thought that the college
would serve the state to the best ad-
vantage while it remained out of pol
itics.
Senator Tillman said that he had
been Informed that before his death
Thomas G. Clemson bought Fort
Hill, the plantation of John c. Cal
houn, which he willed to the State on
condition that a college be establish
ed there to be named Clemson col
lege and to be governed by a self
perpetuating board of trustees.
Senator and Mrs. Tllman came to
Columbia yesterday morning from
Washington. The senator testified
before the committee from the gen.
eral assembly charged with the in
vestigation Of the management Of the
state Hospital for the Insane. Sena-
tor and Mrs. Tillman left Columbia
for Trenton yesterday afternoon. Next
Tuesday the senator will go with Mrs.
Tillman to Atlanta, where she will
take rest cure for two weeks. While
they were in Columbia yesterday SEN
ator and Mrs Tillman were the guests
of DR.. and Mrs. j. w. Babcock
Many of Senator Tillman's friends
commented yesterday on his hale and
hearty appearance.

man Yesterday.

WINNING A DECORATION.
The Tradssman Got the Grand cross
and King Peter the Reward.

and King Peter the Reward.
An excellent story Is going the
rounds about King Peter of Servia.
A French tradesman who had amass-
ed great fortune wanted very badly
to get hold of some decoration to wear
on his breast. and after some financial
maneuvering he managed to secure a
Servian cross of something or other
He was immensely proud OF this cross,
and instead Of having ii set with the
usual inferior quality of brilIiants he
had 1t set with diamonds Of the first
water.
Soon afterward he visited Servia,
and. as In duty bound. he called on
King Peter to thank him for the order.
He wore, Of course. his magnificent
cross. and King Peter, who knows
something about jewels. Immediately
fixed his eyes on 1t. He himself was
wearing the grand cross of the order
set with rather poor brilliants. and
the moment his visitor came within
reach he exclaimed: But what is
this2 l gave orders that you should
have the grand cross The cross alone
is not worthy Of you. Here. you shall
wear NINE"
Before the other could protest Peter
had changed the cross for the grand
cross. substituting the inferior Jewels
for the splendid diamonds on the
breast Of the other! As a matter Of
fact Of course. he had never heard Of
bis visitor before. the decoration hav-
ing been arranged by his ministers.-

For All Ordinary Mechanical Work the
Formula 3.1416 10 Used.
The ratio of the length of the cir.
conference of a circle to its diameter,
sought during many thousands Of
years, has never been discovered. It
has been known for decades Of centu.
RES, away back to the Aryans and to
the Egyptians-or rather to the non
Egyptian pyramid of Suphis builders
that the circumference Of a circle IL
three and fraction times longer than
its diameter.
This fraction has been sought by
computers In every great nation from
prehistoric times. Within modern
times 1t has been computed with accu-
racy and by enormous labor In Germa-
ny out to 635 decimal places with no
end-there is always a remainder to
be reckoned.
But all of this work was useless, be-
cause high mathematics has shown
that the string of figures will never
come to an end In any finite number Of
figures. And as these men cannot
think of infinity they made the SYM
Dol Of infinity and stopped wasting
time many years ago.
The circumference Of q circle is
8.14159265 plus longer than its diane
ter. But In all ordinary mechanics. as
In factories. machine shops and the
like, the number 3.1416 is used. Thus

invasion of Hungary will be aban-
doned and that the whole first
