Clemson College, July 15:?The fertilizer tag tax for the year ending June 30, 1815^, was $155,859.76, more than One hundred thousand dollars l^s than the amount collected during the year ending June 30, 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 a low amount that it twas due only to a surplus of $67,192.84 from the year before that the college was able to get through the year without borrowing money. - ? J iL. L-l The fertilizer tax ana me oaiauee on hand at the beginning of the year together amounted to approximately $223,000 and with this sum, together with the amount received from other sources, the college was able, with the strictest economy and V, the curtailment of expense, to get through the year without borrowing. The Legislature has given the college permission to borrow $62,400 if necessary during the year ending June 30, .1916, and President Riggs stated that it was likely that the - # college would have to avail itself of this permission when the session opened in September, because the fertilizer tax does not begin to come in in any large amount until after Christmas. f At its meeting, the board of trus; "j^jtsburgh WMf slzk?:?:?:?d^$jbdzlz?z??z?

WOLFE PASSES AWAY. EDITOR OF THE COUNTY RECORD 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 N Wolfe passed atfay quietly at 7:00 )'clock." Knowing as we did how le had suffered for years past, and 'specially since his affliction devel>ped into an incurable pulmonary lisease, and that the final summons night come at any hour.it was gratfying to those closer to him by kin ? ^ \ lred and friendship ties to know his < lour of passing was calm and peacefal; that the intense suffering which for the past few weeks had racked ' lis body and emaciated his form had eft him to die quietly and painlessy. The ravages of disease, through nany years of suffering, had so veakened his constitution that when le left Kingstree May 28 for Henlersonville to undergo treatment in i sanitarium he felt that he would lever return horn"1 alive, yet he was villing to go and leave those nearest ind dearest to him that they might >e free from danger by infection.

This, however, soon passed otf and for a 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 September or that he might pass away at an- earlier date. This was the situation when Mrs Wolfe and his little daughter left him, in compliance . with his own wishes, last Thursday 1 to return to Kingstree. Monday 1 morning a note was received from 1 the nurse in charge stating that there was no change in Mr Wolfe's ! condition, that he was being well ' cared for and was doing as well as \ could be expected. At 7:30 the same day the an- ' nouncement of his death was re- ' ceived. Instructions were sent di- 1 recting that his remains be embalm- ' cd, properly prepared for burial and sent to Kingstree at the earliest time possible. These instructions j were carried out and the body reach- j ed Kingstree at 11 o'clock yesterday. j It-was met at the depot by a > number of Kingstree's leading busi- j npss and professional men, the May- ] or and members of the town council j and clergymen. The casket was j conveyed from the depot to the Methodist church, where the funeral j services were conducted at high ] noon by the pastor, Rev D A Phillips, assisted by Rev L E Peeler of I 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 community of his birth and where he was reared to young manhood. In the quiet shades of the old Cedar Swamp cemetery beside the mouldering 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 Benson section and her people. He was a true friend to every son of her soil ana always delighted in meeting and talking with any one from hie old home community. He would I never consent to move his member- | ship from the Cedar Swamp Metho- I dist church and always expressed a 1 desire to be buried there. The active palbearers from the depot to the church were: Messrs L C Dove, E C Epps, E C Burgess, W E Jenkinson, J W Cook, L P Kinder; honorary, Hon P H Stoll, Mayor W R Scott, Hon R J Kirk.
