Dear Sir: President Craighead and Professors Tompkins and Wright having resigned their positions, an early meeting of the board ii called lor June 29 at 8 p. m. at the college. R. W. Simpson, President Board of Trustees. P. H. E. Sloan, Secretary. Governor Ellerbe knew absolutely nothing, he said, as to the canse of the resignations. He added that there would very likely have to be a change ol date as the date of the meeting conflicts with tbat of the meeting of the South Carolina college trustees and be cannot attend both. When it became known yesterday thatPresident Craighead bad resigned there was considerable speculation as to who bis successor would be. The following card on the subject was banded The State lastevenlng : - ' NOW FOR THE SCRAMBLE. A Cane or the Early Bird Looking lor the Prise. To the Editor of the State: The resignation of President Craighead of Clemson College Imposes upon the trustees the duty of chooslDg a successor. Many people In the State would be gratified by the election of superintendent W D. Mayfleld. He has for yearB been connected with the school system of South Carolina and has always been a friend and advocate of the farmers' college.

On Wednesday night I received from Bluhop Hendricks, president, of the board of control of Central College, Mo . or which I am an alumnus, tbe following teleeram: "Unanimously elected president on first ballot, amid much enthusiasm." Amone other telegrams, tne following from the presidebt of the alumnl association then in session: "Central alumni heartily endorse your election and send greetings.1' I was not an applicant nor bad I even consented to allow my came to be presented. A call so hearty and unanimous from my alma mater and tbe growing desire on tbe part of so ma ny of our people to see a real agricultural 1st at tbe head ofClemson are my reasons for resigning. My relation with the faculty and students could not be more pleasant. I can never hope to live among a more generous people than the Carolinians. But many of my friends even think I am better fitted for the work of a literary than an agricultural college, There are no other spertlol rnouAno t/\T m\T rocIcrnotlAn of (hlfl flmo * * E. B.

It is an easv J matter to be over-zealous in one's at- 4 tentions to the sick, and to force one's 4 presence upon them, in reason and out f of season, may display a sympathetic d nature, but it displays also very poor d judgment. d Indeed, it sometimes happens that j over-zealous people actually render, by J their want or tact, the discomfort of ill- ' uess more grievous than it need be. = Their well-meant attentions are a source of annoyance to the physician f and of worry to the patient; yet their " efforts are so obviouely prompted by f kindly motives that every one shuns " the ungracious task of pointing out 4 how far they fall short of their aim. No one should think for a moment ^ entering the Hick-room unless particularly requested to do so, and usually 4 the exercise of one's judgment, when . so admitted, will quickly determine f whether or not tho visit snould be cut . short. No one like to inform a visitor \ that his or her presence is harmful to g the patient. Nevertheless, it Is some- " times for the patient's sake, absolutely g necessary to do this. ? 4 Oxford tics black and tan at Haddon's. 4 Sandals vitb steel buckles, ladles, Misses g and chlldron at Haddon'B.
