Every death of old friends and 1 acquaintances recalls to memory the number that has passed away 1 from the scenes of former activi 1 ty since I left the old town of Cheraw. ' New York is going to give : Roosevelt a reception home next week that has never been equall- 1 to any former man dead or living. 1 Unquestionably the greatest man in the world today the ex-President deserves all the honors possible to bestow on him. Taft has failed to measure up o the expectations and demanrs of his strongest supporters anr it is very doubt- ( ful if he will be able to secure a nomination for the usual second 1 term. The contrast following Roosevelt it would have been impossible for any man to show up 1 to advantage . The election of 1 Governor Hughes to the supreme 1 court bench removes from the field of political prominence the strongest man, next to tht ex-President, 1 -the Kepublican party had.

FUTURE OF CLEMSON WHAT THE TRUSTEES, PRO FESSORS AND FRIENDS SAY. Great Tilings Are Being Planned, Which Will Benetit the Entire Sttea. Mr. E. S. Boney, Writing from Clernaon College to the Newe and Courier under date of June 7, Bays: The future of Clemson College seems to be the uppermost thought in the mind of those with whom 1 have talked while here, both professors and is already a great factor in education for industrial education in South Carolina, surpassed by none in the South, and that its influence and work shall extend into every state in the South-land, is the idea that dominates the mind of acting President, Riggs, Trustees Johnstone, Manning and Evans,and all the professors, many of whom Imet and spent several hours. Ofcourse, these men naturally think think that there is already a "real college at Fort Hill," that Clemson Is already a great factora in education In South Carolina; they do not boast but they pride themselves in what has been accomplished. But, their thought is for a future greatness,their iesires are for larger things,' and their plans are being laid accordingly "Clemson College" Bald Trustee Manning yesterday, "Is planning large things for the people of this state. The scope of Its influence is not to be confined to* the boyswho attend school jthere but it is to reach >ut into every nook and corner of the state. It is an agricultural college, ind Its aims are for the* agricultural ievelopement of the state at large. K. great deal of money is to be spent >n the farms of the state In actual denonstratlon of the principle being aught in the college. The work of be nstltutlon is to be carried to the very W Clemson Is already occupying a field n the life of the state, long unworked snd which will broaden as the yea s g >y, "Clemson," said he,"does not inerfere with the success of thederaomnational colleges of the state. It has sided them, instead. Never in the siBtory of the state, were the colleges injoying such prosperity; all of them ire full to overflowing; all of them ire enlarging and their for the future vere never so bright. The success of "lemson has encouraged an Increased latronage of other colleges. Knowl dge begets knowledge nd athe colege habit is contagious. The trusees are looking to the future of demon; they are laying plans for a grea? r college, one that will rank second o none in the south. If there is any man in the state horoughly in earnest and wholesoulihip devoted to the dutesies withwhich le is entrusted that man is the Hon. Uan Johnstone, chairman of the >oard of trustees. Mr. Johnstone regards his position seriously; he ap )ears to be thoroughly In love with lis work In connection with the institution, and he is hopeful of the >utlok. While I did not have the opportunity of talking with Mr. Johnston as long as I desired, nevertheess, in the shoit conversation on the subject, I was impressed with his leep concern as to the future of the allege, its enlargement and development into the new lines mapped out. Acting President Riggs at once impresses the most casual observer with :he fact that the welfare of Clemson s his chlefest thought. Prof. Riggs loesn't stay still very long at a time; le is always on the move, always dong something, and yet he moves not s-Jth a nervous energy, but with the juickness of systematic dispatch, knowing what is to be done and how lo do it with the greatest facility. \nother thing, he appears to be thoroughly in touch with every phase ;>f life on "the hill." For instance, tlie other afternoon 1 saw him in the president's office with a pile of pepars about him. Very shortly afterwards I saw "him on the campus, "blue prints" in hand directing the laying of foundation work for a new cottage, and then, he knows what is going on in the various departments of the thoroughly acquainted himself with the financial situation, the sou sources of revenue, and the exact channels into which the funds are directed. In short, he seems to be "at the head of things at Clemson." In speaking of Clem son's work, Mr. Riggs was enthusiastic in his hopes and beliefs, and anyone hearing him could not but catch the spirit. His confidence in the future compels admiration, for it Headqu The number of i few days, the "why: I. S, Huntley. must be founded upon an ability to bring about or assist in bringing about the results hoped for. "Clemson College's place," said he, is in the forefront with all the agricultural and inechanfial^cglleges oT tin1 >?mun, ana uiiWMg fiu c reason why, if the present plans are carried out, it should not attain that position." Prof J. N. Harper, director of the experimental work, says that his aim is to make his department of the college "the authority for all matters pertaining to agricultural pursuits." His excellent forces and the methods now being emploked under his able directions, are calculated to force one to the belief that his ambition will be realized.
