Clemson being an agricultural c>'.lege should have a man well versed in agriculture at its head; and I trust the good people of Soutii Carolina will use their influence for the election of said candidate, Col.

The horseless carriage, the motor cycle or the moior car, does not seem to have caught on. There is evidently an element of we'ght, expense or in efficiency that has thus far made it a failnre. Here and there a few may be in u-e as curiosities or as luxuries in ;he possession of tbe rich, but as a practical road machine the horseless carriage must still rank with the flying machine. About a j ear or so ago an enterprising Chicago newspaper offered a valuable prize for the successful competitor in a road race between different horseless carriages, but though the event came off, the boom for horseless carriages which was expected to follow did not materialize. Eren greater failure seems to have resulted in England. Over a year ago the engineer of London offered a prize of $5,500 for the successful competitor in a horseless < iu riage race. Motor Gars they call tnem in Englynd. The date for the race arrived some days ago, but there were only five entries, and after the judges looked them over tney declared that none of them measured up to the requirements of the Engineer's proclamation, so the race was not run. The bicycle is the only horseless carriage that seems to have made any headway, and the performances by recent race riders indicate that an expert bicytle rider can run the legs off the .best horse that was ever bred, when it comcs to long distance work. The performance of the young Welch rider, Michael, in going fifteen mi!es in about 29-3 ^minutes shows possibilities that no horse could equal.? J?qusta Chronicle. xo curk-no pay.
