Anderson, Sjx-ciul.?Judging from I the newspaper editorials and the talk of individuals, Clemson Collide will (eomc in for a big shAre of the time of (he next general assembly. ! Knowing that the annual report of l tho board of trufcteaa of Clemsou Col lege was heiug prepared, a correoptfud* ent called on Col. H. W. Simpson, chairman of that board, at Pendleton. The finance committee will meet Fri day night at Clemnon College to put the annual report in writing, at which t time Mm of the Mtfltft "tt'llt be .furnished with u copy of Jibe re port. I This report will show that Clemnon College? secured from the privilege tux on fertilizers and cotton seed meal be tweent .July 1, 1^05, and July 1, 1906, exactly $104,990.82. From this largo amount must be deducted the amount of tho unused tags which nmount is $0,024.79, so really $158,354.03 is what tho college secarcd. Tho report will show the following expenditurea: ?< Expenses of analysis and in spection of fertilizers ayd e 'cotton seed meal $17,020.59 Beneiiciary scholarships .. . 11,018.79 ('oast experiments 1,042.83 Entomological inspection .. 700.00.

To this amount should be added the income from pay cadets, which amounts to about $20, 000 annually, which gives as a grand fotal $148,030.80. . There are about 000 cadets at the college this year and if this number is divided into the $142,030,80, the cost of each cadet annually is $23G.71? In making up these figures, it must not be forgotten that the college is always making some improvement*. The equijqnents of the various depart ments are always beiiv renewed. The college being a textile and ineeljanieal one, there are ulways some equipments to be added, and the cost of operating a eollege such as Clemson is much greater than the cost of an .ordinary literary eollege. - Therefore, the $230. 71 is not the right amount to.be used as the cost of each cadet. t . o;The experimental station is sup ported by the United States govern ment. The Hatch fund provides $15, 000 annually for tho station. The Ad&ms amendment, which passed the last congress, provides for $5,000 ad ditional this year, and the amount is to bo increased by $2,000 annually urt til the station income is $30,000. The experimental station is not only supoprted by the United Stotes gov ernment, but it is operated by the gov ernment. Tho affairs of the station do toot connect with the affairs of Clemson college.

Four veasels wore driven ashore, another, after having everything movable on deck washed away, was forced to yjail buck to the l*>rt from which slid"sailed, and the steamer Turret Hell, whieh wont aground on the north side of Prince Edawrd Island last week, was driven farther in shore. The stonu was most viownt in Northumberland Strait. Two m-hoon ers and one bark were aground in this strait, and a third schooner was wrecked near the Astern en trance. The Norwegian bark Adeoha. tried to weather the gale oil' Hexton, N. B., but dragged her anchors and ground ed on North 'Keel'. She sprang a leak. The tremendous seas made it impossible for any vessels to go to her assistance, leaving her crew of 12 helpless in the severe cold and heavy gale, and in danger of being swept overboard or dying from exposure. I Near the same plaee the schooner Alexander, ' lumber' ladt?H-y.,,,went ashore. / The Windsor, N.\ S., schooner!

Her crew of four men had been obliged to man the pumps with practically no rest since Wednesday and during - all that time they had had 'neither food nor drink, all their supplies having been swept overboard They were rescued, almost overcome by exhaus^on and exposure, soon after the vessel grounded. The schooner will probably be a total loss. A Newfoundland schooner, ythe identy of which has not- beW learn ed, was wrecked last night at Camp bells Cove at the eastern end of Prince Edward Island.

London.?Tho triennial clecLicu;; of the London Borough Councils have resulted In jui overwhelming victory for tho Municipal Reformers, who in somo of tho boroughs absolutely wiped out tho PrCgresfllvjie. Tho victors wore formerly known as Moderates, and represent tho Unionist party, tho Progressives rep resenting tho Liberal and Labor par ties. After several years (if a Pro gressive regime, during which, It Is contended, tho taxes were increased to abnormal figures in consequence of huge expenditures, Including palatl&l workhouses, Turkish baths for workmen, who did not use them, and clubhouses and other similar nuudclpal luxuries, the Borough Councils ure once again great strong holds of Toryism. Coiaplato returns show that th?j Reformers' won 1011 seats, the re maining 351 being divided between the Progressives, Laborites and In dependents. The provincial municipal elections havo also resulted In a rout for iho Liberals. Tho campaigns in the prov inces were mostly conducted on polit ical party lines. Incomplete results show that the Liberals have sustained a net lo:? of thirty-throe representa tives and that the Conservatives havo a net gain of llfty-nlne. The Labor party has a net gain of nine. In London tho Labor party candi dates fared oven worBe than tho Pro gress! vov, but they made small ;ralnr. In the provinces.
