' Being a student of Clemsou I feel it my j duty to call attention to some things said , about the college In last week's Medium, j fcFirst, he called it a typhoid pest. Does four ] cases make a pest? Drs. Hardin, of New , YorK, Orr, of Anderson, IVatson. of Pendle- . ton, and Redfearn, of the College, said it whs : not typhoid. No doubt the Hoard of Health believed it to be. and we have no right not. to | believe them unless It can be proved otherwise, bnt we have a right to believe the Doctors that are familiar with the surroundings, | and such like In preferance to the others. , Second, it would have been better if the writer had stated the exact number of deaths. ; which were three. Instead of usine the woui several. Only one cadet died with typhoid | fever. And as for several cadets remaining there afler college closed, only twelve stayed, and some of them left. In a few days. As for there being so many sick I will give on#> example to show that some were beating. Prof. Cliukscales said after it bad been decided lo \ close school that we would eet to co home Fri day. One boy in the hospital heard him say , so, and by two o'clock he was well. This is one out of many. I agree with the writer in some things. One Is that it ought to be made known the onuses of the sickness. But as for the Board of Health "not having anything to say." I think they were perfectly right In not saying anything before they had made their report to the Governor. Third, that some members of the faculty did not know anything about hygiene or cared nothiDg about the health of the cadets. Now, he said it was typhoid fever?the sever. est kind. The sick report one day numbered eighty-three. Doesn't it seem strange that puly one boy should die with malignant typhoid fever? And that boy died when Dr. Redfearn was sick, brought on by over-work. I hope the public will think over the matter and ask some one familiar with the place and (sickness before they lay too much stress on the piece, lor the Medium is talking trom what it got from the newspapers, and every thing in tbera is represented as being ten times worse than it really Is.

The statement that factionalism Id South Carolina Is (lead is as untrne as the other fa miliar statement that some Senatorial candidates are dead. Not much inquiry is needed to enforce the conviction that so far as Abbe' ville county is concerned some lively corpses are extant. The necessary conclusion, after talking to b considerable number of people of all persuasions, is that a factional fight Is imminent, Factional lines are not as marked as the; were a few years ago, but factions do yet exist. The impending Senatorial race is likely to revive the passions of '90-94. The erstwhile "Conbervativea" are "Conservatives." yet. They are practically unanimous for McLaurln. The "Reformers" are not as defiant or ae confident as their opponents, but they are wide-awake and determined. They have the disadvantage of being divided between Irby, Evans and McLaurln. Evans probably has the had among the Reformers. Ills friends a? wellashls;enemlea realize that John Evans' day of trial Is at band. He is expected to act atatesman, campaigner and pugilist.
