PUBLISHED WEEKLY. WINNSBORO, S. C., WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 18. 1905.ESALHD184 EDITORIAL NOTES. It was our good fortune to at tend the Centennial exercises of the South Carolina College in Columbia the past week. This was in accordance with a fond wish of ours from the time these exercises were first announced. There is always something about a gathering of educational work ers that appeals to us as do no other gatherings. For the most part they are freer from the reg ular routine that makes time at man - other gatherings hang so beav. But above all it is the association with workers whose enthusiasm for their work is most marked. As little as the outside world is willing to admit it, the teacher represents the very best there is in life and a measure of sacrifice attained in no other pro fession unless it be the ministry. In such a gathering as there was on this occasion are men of naticnal reputation in their re spective lines of work, the com bined salary of a dozen or more of whom would not amount to the salary that is paid some bank official or other financial officer whose influence with his wealth is less felt than any one of the dozen or more less fortunates from a financial standpoint, but fortinates in the measure of ser - vice that they render to humanity, not only for what they accomp lish, but for the spirit in which they go about it. It is never pos sible for us to attend a meeting of such workers without having our appreciation of their noble pro fession greatly enhanced and with .a similar increase in our disgust -at the lack of appreciation that =is shown them for their services zwhen pay day comes. The crime 'of the American peoplo to-day is ,the small salaries that are paid tthese men and women who are, tmost potent workers in the up ibuilding of the nation. 'The occasion that brought so many of these workers together -as-o mere passing incident. One h red years in the history of an institntion of learning is an achievement that is deserving of a most fitting observation. It is the time for her sons to show I their interest in her by lending their presence and rallying to her support; it is also the time for other friends in educational work to show their appreciation of the work that ha; been accomplished by joining in the auspicious cele bration. On this occasion there S-ere th-e sons in great number -iose devotion to their, alma -=a ter was shown by cheering at . 7 - mention of her name and by tarting a fund for helping1 ote i less fortunate in coming to - dri*- from the same fountain.1 -The in, erest of other institutions ' of lear& ng, both in and 'out of a the Stat a, was most fittingly shown by the large number of I their repr esentatives who were 1 present to t. press their gratitude inm the achievements of the past :and their besi; wishes for a bright ier future for this historic college in the second century that it is umw anterig upon.

'I&AnI jb[agey was serving as presit w i h a called to the prt.'idu South Carolina 4e sttS opening a hundre yer eago. Trom the verf minut -e that;he -be gan with his very kin~ 'eereee to the chivalry and cb emte of the people of the Soutb,. ps Lnese nad been reflected in t? ylag number of students that ha t om tfrom this fair Southland t 3 th 'college which he representec > his close he had the audience,. from the rounds of applause tb at greeted him when he took hi 'J seat it seemed that the spirit o1 union was at its height. Perhaps -nothing that he said in the fifteen or twenty minutes that tie was speaking caught the e.ar of the au-r 'dience more than his reference to ' oung Rutledge from. the College of Charleston, who, at Union Col Ilege two years ago took tae grand prize for the best ess '.y on the1 subject, "The Right e a Stats to Secede," andl his turth :r reference to tis ame brilliant vouug t.ar olina orator who has just been chosen to represent that institu tion in the international oratori cal contest. That was a very fine tribute he paid to the Southern schools and colleges when he said that to his college they had fur nished 7 per tent. of the student body within the past twenty years, but that the per cent. of these who had been on the honor roll was much higher. President Franklin Carter of Williams College, Massachusetts, proved a most entertaining speak er. Williams College, he said, was the college of Garfield, whose assassination occurred when he was at the depot on his way to 1 it to take part in some exercises in connection with the founding: of a new chair in the college, the' choice for which had fallen upon , a grandson of the South Carolina College, as the brilliant young1 professor who was to fill it was a graduate of Wofford College (this was Dr. Chas. Forster Smith, now of the University of Wisconsin), I presided over by the college'd most distinguished living educa tor, Dr. James H. Carlisle, the . mention of whose nome through- t aut the exercises brought round nd round of applause as an ex pression of the esteem in which t he is held by all Carolinians. When Chancellor Wiggins of I the University of the Souti began 0 to call the roll of the faculty, of t that institution, in which South ! Jarolina hits always had so great .nterest, it seemed that this State 2 Jad been furnishing it with about - ll its teaching force. Certainly d bhe State has had every repre- r sentation in that faculty that it t ould have reasonably hoped for, the chancellor himself being a r ost fitting representative of s bese sons of the Palmetto State t who have achieved great things f ;here. His was a happy message nd1eed, and he fully sustained hiwself as one of the greatest col ege presidents of the country. Other speakers of whom spv- a dial mention should be made were t Dhancellor Hill of the University I >f Georgia, the brilliant lawyer c who gave up a lucrative law prac- I ice to respond to ti ) call of nis 1 ;tate to accept the 'head of her d state university and as delightful n speaker as one rarely ever ears; Chairman Barringer of d he University of Virginia, whose s )old plea for the education that 11 nakes the scholar and the gentle- P nan rather than that makes for r itilitarianism was a masterpiece; a Lnd President Randolph of the fi Jollege of Charleston, who spoke n nost fittingly of the kind rela- p ,ions that existed between the e ther colleges of the state and d he eldest of them all with the f; ~xception of the classic 'institu- 'I ion represented by this you ng- 7 ist member of the college presi- IC lents of the South. It is always at the banquet of a ycasions o~f this kind that the a ery best speeches are to be l eard. This was especially true jc >f the banquet given on Tuesday. avening to the alumni and its in- n 'ited guests. No speech of this whole Centennial celebration eached the high mark of'that of I President Northrop of the UTni-i rersity of Minnesota in his re-I sponse to the toast, "The Univer-:. ities and the Colleges of the 1~ [nited States." President North. L -p has a commanding appear. - i i..e and is a fine representative t f the latter day president for a c :ig university who must be a man t f strong constitution and fine ?xecutive g aalifications.

Repre- I senting a university with 3,800 pupils and backed by an appro priation of more than a half miu ion a year, he had a right to peak upon this subject, and the ~ get misfortuine of it is that the {i nmbers of the legialkture crould g mot have heard what he had to - y u.pon the duties of a state2 k 'g this line.

O A BUPT T.I A . ee&u a Tale Kind You Hiv A1wavS B0tdf ] What You Swear to When You Mal Your Return for Taxation. It is a remarkable fact thi comparatively few taxpayers ap preciate the comprehensivenes and seriousness of the oath the take when making returns of thei property for taxation. The affidavi at the bottom of each return i usually signed by the affian without reading it-withou knowing its contents. Really, th aiffidavit should be read ani thoroughly understood befor the return itself is made out, s that the taxpayer may see an know what is expected of him And instead of being printed is ;mall type, as it now is, th 3olemn and far-reaching obliga ion should be in large type an< )ccupy a co:spicuous place o he blank returns.

A hint of the possibilities of the rowth of Arperican farm prod uc ion is conveyed in the etatement hat the average gross returns an cre from cultivated land in this ountry is only $10.50 per acre, ud from land devoted to the rowing of' cereals but $8.02 ap cre. In Great B3ritin the atensive system of farming has rought the average gross re urns up to within the neigh orhood of $30 an acre. But few rould consider that even $80 per cre is anything like the full verage-producing power of cuti ated land. If ever the labor sup ly and cost approach the Euro ean level, American land owners onid afford to work 'their farms ) the ful capacity.

Soruc of or pension stattistics t are curious. For example, we - ,learn thait thero are still on the s >olls three pensioners of the y Revcltutionar' war, which was r brcugl.t to an end over 120 years t ago. Of pensinos accredited to s the War of 1812, there still remain t 919, while of the Mexican war no t fewer than 13.055 survive. Of e those accedited to the Revo i lutionary war, one is a widow and e iwo are- daughters. The report > shows that pension payments are I made to people, residing in every State and' Territory in the union, 1 and in almost every known coun B try on the globe. Among the - States, Ohio leads in the amount I of pension money paid annually, i to its citizens. with Pennsylvania second, New York third, and 11 r linois and Indiana following - closely. At the date of the report, S there were 4,910 pensioners re siding outside of the United States, and they drew $72,440.69 in the last fiscal year. Nearly half of this amount went to per 3 sons in Canada. Quarterly pen t sion -vouchers were sent besides to persons in Mexico, South Ameriia and every country in Europe, the Azores, the Barba does, China, the Comoro Isles, East and South Africa, Samoa, the Seychelles Islands, Siam and St. Martin. It shows that the pension bureau was a busy office last year. More than 268,000 cases were passed upon, and 153,000 certificates were issued. No fewer thin 108,114 applications were rejected, of which 93,000. were thrown out on medical and 24,000 on leg-il grounds.-Success. Spoiled Her Beauty.
