News from CT msOn College.

Clemson College, Dec. 3.-Last
Thursday, being Thanksgiving day We
had a holiday. Several of the cadets
who lived near the college spent the
day with their nome folks, while over
two hundred cadets went to Atlanta
to see tie Clemson-Tech football
game. A special train was operated
for tie cadets going to Atlanta, the
train leaving at $50 a. M, Thursday
and returning at 800 a. m, Friday.
1t is needless to say that the boys
enjoyed ..heir. trip to Atlanta with the
exce1 ton of seeing the Tigers" go
down in defeat to the yellow JAG
kets.' AS whole, the football game
was a hard tougnt battle from begin
ming till end The Tigers spent
Wednesday night in GAINESVILLE and
Thursday morning went to Atlanta
on the special train. Our team was
muc1 out-wei ghed by the Tech team.
After the game finished and our team
returned to the hotel the captain was
elected for next years team, the per-
son receiving this high honor was
Cadet Magill W. K, of Abbeville. The
prospects are very favorable at pres
en. for a very strong team next year,
since much material will come from
the present freshman team.
A meeting of the Newberry county
Toys was held and county club or

elected: Cadet P. H. Seen, president;

; the insurance company any premium
J-ereon Unquestionably no private
individual has the right to make any
contract whatsoever in T. e name of
| the State 1t then appears tnat it is
the duty OF the commissioner to in
sure the cotton in the name O.: the
State upon the best terms which he
MAJ obtain, and certainly no insur-
ance company will insure anything
without being paid premium or the
premium being guaranteed by the in
surer, VI ich is the State in this case
OF course the State is protected from
any loss by reason of the payment OF
insurance premiums, by the provisions
of the act, which gives to the State a
lien On tee cotton stored, TO secure re-
endorsement for insurance premiums

Handling the Funds.
at therefore appears to me that
the commissioner mast collect all in
surance premiums, and when they are
collected by him they are funds OF
an Institution supported In whole ,or
in part by the State TIE fact tAat
the premiums constituting such funds
are derived by the commissioner from
individuals who store cotton, can not
in my belief, change the fact that the
commissioner collects the same under
authority o.. the act, and when so
collected must be placed in tie State
treasury as a separate fund Of the
warehouse institution Under the pro-
visions Of section 20 of the warehouse
act it is provided: The money appro-
priated by the act, and all sums col
lected under it shall be held in the
State treasury as a separate fund for
the purpose of tais act. This section
will clearly include all insurance pre-
miums collected by the commissioner.
''In order to withdraw such funds
from the State treasury. it mus: be
done under section 751, code of laws,
1912, which pro1ides: All payments |
by the State treasurer, except for in )
terest on the public debt, and the pay
of officers, members and attac1es of |
the general assembly, shall be made |
on warrants drawn by the comptroller
general, and the vouchers for the
same must be lied in his office
Il therefore take the view that the
aw requires the insurance to be car
ried by the sinking fund commission.
It is beyond doubt permissible, and it
s2ould be done, because the sinking
'und commission now has contract
With insurance companies outside the
State, w:ereby $3.50 on each 500
Jf premiums may be saved to the
)ublle.
''It is also my view that even though
he construction of the statute be
doubtful, though | personally do not
eel any doubt as to my own inter-
of this one, tie doubt should
Ie resolved in favor OF the best in
crest OF all the people of tie State in
II cases, and especially in this case,
;nere a substantial saving may be ef-
ected."

Statement by Comptroller.

A W. Jones, tie comptroller gen
eral, on reading the foregoing opin-
ion, made a statement as follows:
Some days since I expressed the
view that the law requires the ware
house commissioner to carry the in
surance Cor this State institution under
his control with the sinking fund COM
mission. While It is not my purpose
1c enter into controversy as to the
correctness Gu the opinion of the at
torney general which expresses t2e
contrary view, will state my reasons
for my idea, witch are at variance
With the advice Of the States chief
law officer.
Ut Will be noted tnst section 80 OF
the appropriation act %: 1914 provides
that all insurance of public buildings

State Institution.


Having in mind the law quoted il
the attorney generals opinoin, as we'll
as the entire warehouse act. it is my
view that the warehouse system is an
institution Of the State of South Caro-
lima; that it is supported in part by
the State, or indeed not wholly so. If
then tie premium on the insurance is
paid out of any funds OF this institu-
tion-the warehouses; supported
by the State, such insurance must be
carried by the sinking fund commits
sion.
at Will be noted by section II Of
the warehouse act that the commits
sioner is required to keep insured all
cotton on storage in the warehouse
and that he Shall make his insurance
contracts upon the best terms obtain
able
at certainly is contemplated by the
statute that the warehouse commis-
sioner shall, out of the funds of the
institution, pay the premiums on the
insurance obtained Were this noi
true, he would be unable to take out
the insurance which the law requires
TIE question then arises, are such in
surance premiums to be paid out OF
any funds of such institut!on-tbe
warehouse system-supported by the
State? Certainly so, if any part o.
the $4,000 appropriated under the
warehouse act is used for such pur-
pose. l think with equal certainty
that premiums on such insurance, to
be collected by the warehouse COM
missioner from owners Ct cotton or
storage, when collected and in the
hands of the warehouse commissioner,
are funds of that institution. which
must be deposited with the State
treasurer and drawn out as provided
by the stutute. Tne act, il will be
noted, provides that the commissioner
shall keep insured all cotton on stor-
age, and that the insurance policies
shall be in the name of the State
''This provision Of the statute
precludes the idea that the individual
storing cotton snail insure his own
cotton, or that he shall pay direct to |
