FERTILIZER TAG TAX
Collected by Clemson More than
S1OO. 900 Less than Last Year.

Clemson College, July 15:-The
fertilizer tag tax for the year end
ing June 80, 1915, was $155. .S59.76,
more than 6ne hundred thousand
dollars less than the amount collect
ed during the year ending June 80,
1914. This final report was made
by the president of Clemson College
to the recent meeting of the, board
of trustees. President Riggs stated
that the tax had fallen to such low
amount that it was due only to a
surplus of SGT, 1924 from the year
before that the college was able to
get through the year without bor-
rowing money.
The fertilizer tax and the balance
on hand at the beginning of the
year together amounted to approx
mately $223,000 and with this sum,
together with the amount received
from other sources, the college was
able, with the strictest economy and
the curtailment of expense, to get
through the year without borrowing.
The Legislature has given the col
lege permission to borrow $62, 400 if
necessary during the year ending
June 80, 1916, and President Riggs
stated that it was likely that the
college would have to avail itself of
this permission when the session
opened in September. because the
fertilizer tax does not begin to come
in in any large amount until after
Christmas.
At its meeting, the board of trus-

tees decided to put as little expense
as possible on the parents of students
this year and voted not to have a
cadet encampment at the State Fair
this autumn. The college, however,
will have an exhibit at the; fair in
connection with the demonstration
and extension exhibit of agricultural
work.
The board appointed a committee
to draw up resolutions commemor-
ative of the late DR. P H E Sloan,
who had been secretary Of the board
and treasurer of the college from
it's organization until his retirement
a few years ago.

He received a common school educa-

Carolina Military academy at Charles

years and was principal of the graded

SUCCUMBS TO DISEASE AFTER
LONG, PATIENT SUFFERING.

A telegram was received here
from Hendersonville, N c, at 7:30
Monday evening stating that Mr. c
W Wolfe passed away quietly at 700
o'clock" Knowing as we did how
he had suffered for years past, and
especially since his affliction devel-
oped into an incurable pulmonary
disease, and that the final summons
might come at any hour,it was graf

wife and his uncle, DR. D G ott.whc
did everything possible for his com
fort, was very trying to him, and ne
reached the sanitarium in a tired,
exhausted condition. This, however,
soon passed off and for time it
was hoped that his condition was
improving. Such hopes were short
lived, for it soon became evident that
this patient sufferer was gradually
growing thinner and weaker, then,
finally, he became helpless and could
not turn himself in bed and all hope
of his recovery was abandoned, and
his physician and attendants at the
sanitarium advised that he might
linger on in this condition until Sep
tember or that he might pass away
at an earlier date. This was the sit
uation when Mrs Wolfe and his lit
tie daughter left him, in compliance
with his own wishes, last Thursday
to return to Kingstree. Monday
morning a note was received from
the nurse in charge stating that
there was no change in Mr. Wolfe's
condition, that he was being we'll
cared for and was doing as we'll as
could be expected.
At 7:3O the same day the an
of his death was re-
ceived. Instructions were sent di-
recting that his remains be embalm-
ed, properly prepared for burial and
sent to Kingstree at the earliest
time possible. These instructions
were carried out and the body reach
ed Kingstree at II clock yesterday.
It,was met at the depot by a
number of Kingstree's leading busi-
ness and professional men, the May.
or and members of the town council
and clergymen. The casket was
conveyed from the depot to the
Methodist church. where the funeral
services were conducted at high
noon by the pastor, Rev D A Phil
lips, assisted by Rev L E Peeler of
the Cedar Swamp Methodist church
and Rev H D Bull of the Episcopal
church.
After the funeral services the
body was viewed by the friends of
the deceased and remained in the
church until 2 p. M, when it was
taken to Cedar Swamp the COM
munity of his birth and where he
was reared to young manhood. In
the quiet shades of the old Cedar
Swamp cemetery beside the moulder-
ing dust of his mother and sister, all
that was mortal of this intellectual
genius, was laid to rest and to await
the resurrection morn.
Mr. Wolfe was devoted to the Ben
son section and her people. He was
a true friend to every son OF her
soil and always delighted in meet
ing and talking with any one from
his old home community. He would
never consent to move his member
ship from the Cedar Swamp Metho-
dist church and always expressed a
desire to be buried there.

depot to the church were: Messrs l.

dred and friendship ties to know his
hour of passing was calm and peace
full; that the intense suffering which
for the past few weeks had racked
his body and emaciated his form had
left him to die quietly and painless
ly.
The ravages of disease, through
many years of suffering, had so
weakened his constitution that when
he left Kingstree May % for Hen
Jacksonville to undergo treatment in
a sanitarium he felt that he would
never return home alive, yet he was
willing to go and leave those nearest
and dearest to him that they might
be free from danger by infection.

LONDON, April 9.-The sinking Of
a French bark, laden with grain and
an attack upon the Blue Funnel liner
Theseus, from Liverpool to Java,
were German submarine activities re-
ported here today.
The tug Homer arriving at South
Shields today, reported that while
towing the French bark Colonel Econ
10, off St. GATHERINGS Point yesterday,
she sighted German submarine
rushing down on her through heavy
sea. The Homer cut loose from tho
bark and attempted to ram the SUBJ
marine, but missed by margin Of
not more than three feet, according to
her captain.
The submarine shot one torpedo
at the tug but missed. She then
turned her attention to the bark, send-
ing her to the bottom.
The report Of the attack upon the
Theseus was reported here from LIv-
erpool. The line was chased by a
submarine off Bishop Rock Light
house on March 20, while enroute to
Java and today reported back to her
owners. She ignored command to
stop and sped on In zig-zag course
at seventeen knots an hour.
The chase continued for nearly s,>
ty miles, the captain Of the Theseu~
reported, the submarine firing shells
at the liner. Five Of the shells struck
the steamer, doing considerable dam
age above the water line, but none Of
the crew was hurt.
