Editors Kooweo Courier : It may interest BOIUO of your rendors to know that Oconoo county hus within her bordors nu ideal summer resort. By an ideal summer resort I do not mean a )>lacc wliero queen Booioty wields lior domineering sway, where men and women seek diversion and undermine their health by engaging in fashionable pleasure, but a place where those who (ind themselves wearied by a year of worried thought and labor may go and rest. There aro many such who turn with inward disgust from tho modern seaside and mountain hotel, with their nightly revels and their senseless formalities and stay at home because they know of no place that, meets their demands. For all such this article is intended. JooasBOu Valloy,South Carolina, is situated in Whitewater Township, in tho Northenstern part of Coonee county, ?0 miles from Walhalla and twenty-five from Seneca. On all sides tito hills and mountains riso in unstudied majesty, clothed in forests of magnificent trees. The beautiful Whitewater Uiver, clear as crystal and teeming with fish, glides peace fully through the valley, tho other wise ruggedness of the scenery hoing relieved by fields of fine corn along its banks. Spring? of icy water, fresh from the purifying processes of nature, gush limpidly forth, a con stant source of joy and refreshing to the sojourner. There aro ideal walks and drives, giving ono at intervals, through leafy vistas, exquisite views of mountains, valley ami river, that hold ono spoil-bound. Health-laden breezes fan one's tired brow and in this Utopia one never worries when told that it is twelvo miles to thc nearest doctor. No case of insom nia can withstand the gentle purling of tho river and tho soft murmur of the wind? among the leaves. I have spent the whole of thc past summer (one of the hottest on record) in Jocasscc and not a single'night has passed but that I have been com pelled to sleep under covering. A few miles up the valley arc to be found the famous Lower White water Falls. This is by far the most exquisite bit of natural .scenery it has over bee my pleasure to view. A young Englishman, who has trav eled extensively in liuropo as well a? in this country and who was one of the many delighted visitors in the valley this summer, remarked that he had seen the most famous falls of Norway and Sweden and othci mountainous countries of Europe, but that for beauty none that ho had seen could compare with Whitewato) Fall?. It is simply ideal. Aro you ntl angler"? Whitewater, Toxnwny and Ke?woo River? will b< sources of much delight to you. while the mountains offer rare ?pori ti? the gunner. Bathing and boating are also pleasant diversions. In Jo cass?e aro united the most attract i v< features of the mountains and tin seashore. Those who live in the valley are a last beginning to realize something of the attractiveness of the plaoi and are already preparing to aocoin modate the many visitors who wil doubtless seek out this delightful re treat next summer. Messrs. W. M Brown and A. L. Whit miro will on large and improve their already com modious homes, while Mr. Jobi Wbitmire will erect a large twelv room house and Mr. Henry Glazene one of eight rooms. Some vii-i tor have purchased building sites am will oreel summer homes.

Ils Prosont Fulfillment and Future Promiso. A Gonulno Work Shop. In a recent issue of tho Nows and Courier, Mr. Jas. II. Hice, Jr., writes interestingly about his visit to Clem son College, and what he saw there. Among oilier tilings ho says : I Two things impressed me. First was tho enormous amount of actual work done. No business man in our cities is harder drivon than President Ilartzog. At 8.45 A. M. he is hold ing chapel exercises and is constantly engaged until 1 P. M. Ile then goes to dinner and is back at 1.80. Prom then until 0.30 Iiis time ?B again all takon up and ho is fre quently in tho ofliee at night, dictat ing correspondence or looking after other interests of the college. Tho faculty work thirty hours a week, which is about double thc number I of hours of other institutions in this ' State. 1 There are no idle students loafing ! about the grounds, as at many insti- i lutiona of learning. All hands are busy, except at the short recreation < time in tho afternoon. Go where 1 you will, you meet these same cvi- ' deuces of work, modern, up-to-date business methods everywhere, put in 1 with tho push, drive and thorough- 1 ness of modern civilization. Tlie other fact which impressed < me was tho unity of effort and 1 loyalty to the institution. Clemson < is a coherent whole. It makes for t its purpose and ev id?neo of design is ' Apparent. 1 In its darkest hour the students I ?tood for Clemson against the world. ' They were rash and often wrong, ! lue in large measure to their being I played upon by a wily and unscrupu- * lons demagogue. But in making the \ sause of Clemson their own they ex- i liibited a loyalty always respectable, 1 ihough sometimes misplaced. This } somes from the fact that thc young i nen soon feel that tho tight is their * igbt, and that the true mission of ' Olomson is to break the shackles that ' gnoranoo and bigotry have placed '* ipon effort. Tho spirit exhibited by Clemson students is of the highest t )rdor. Join this to coherent design 1 md passionate /.eal, and thc result is C going to lie astonishing. I As an instance of splendid man- C lgement take thc mess hall. Thc C (indents get board for $G a month, t ind it is as good board as that fur- 1 lisbed hy thc best hotels in thc .State I -not as varied in tho menu-but t letter cooked than at nine hotels out r if ten and an abundance of it. ( Tho chef at Clemson is an institu ,ion. He is the friend and backer t 'banker ?B better) of needy under- ? graduates, and it is hard to imagine 1 low thing? could go on without him. t By its work in agriculture thc coi- t ego is best known and has, perhaps, ' ?oro its widest field of usefulness, j That Col. Newman is master of Iiis . lepartment ia almost a superfluous t issertion. Hotter judges than I hayo 1 indorsed tho great work ho is doing, U ind South Carolina is every yenrp 'ocling more and more tho effect of 11 t. This (lepartment gets $15,000 < 'rom the Hatch fund, to bo expended ' I wholly in experiment. The oxpori-M nents arc interesting and valuable, I i jovor a wide range and the results I < night to be known to every farmer H n tho State. Bulletins are printed ? leriodioally and distributed free all 1 >ver South Carolina, giving these fi .esults. 1 To remove some misconception it 1 s necessary to say that Clemson Col- H cgc does not profess to turn out ex- < icrts. No college docs, (barring I dwaya literary institutions, with their r ottor-of-recommendation graduates.) In thc textile department, for in itnnoo, a student receives stlff?oient raining to enable bim to gotas mindi lonclil from one year in the mills as io would in ten without that traili ng. After live years' experience in bc mills a graduate of Clemson night to be a first-class mill man if ie has tilt; making of a mill man in lim. Tho whole business was a revela ron to me and one can readily fore :ast what a revolution is being Bi llilly worked in South Carolina. Sien are being trained to do things; ,o reclaim desert? and make the vilderness habitable ; to restore, to .eu;eiierate, to uplift ; to take their dace without, shirking in the word ionfliot for the suppression of vice md tho advancement of civilization. Now, when Mr. Hnrt'/ogwns made 'resident of Clemson College it waa laid that he lacked experience, that ii? youth told against him, and all lort? of lugubrious forebodings were ndulged. It is fair to state that ho ?as more than met expectation, that ie ha? the confidence of faculty and itudents, and i? at every point show ng marked progress. Hi? Opportunity is imperial, and ie ha? risen to it and grown with it. Io ia a born manager and the entire nstitution has felt the effect of his iXOOUtive ability. Ho has given all ii? time and attention to it and lia? nade the institution doits appointed VOl'k. I Iis cartier is full of solid iromiso and South Carolina bas ron? ion to expect great things from him. Clemson College i? situated in bree counties, more or les?, but lie? irinoipally in Oconeo. Thc Bite is dgh, oapflblo of easy drainage and hen; is ?.at-ela?? sewerage systom, I Monty of pure spring water for Iriiiking i? available and tho supply ? snflioient for all other purposes. About thirty miles away tower the duo peaks of the mountain.?-?enti l?is set by the Creator in old day?. They watch over Clemson a? sixty year? ago they watched the homo of South Carolina's uncrowned king, hen tho Mecca of her moat illustri otis sons, now tho seat of hor great est institution, whoso destiny no liv ing man can mensuro and no dead ono has prophesied. The country round nbout would seem to bo n piece do resistance in agriculture and if experiments suc ceed hore tASey would succeed any where. For these and other reasons, 1 do not now caro to discuss, it scorns to mo that Clemson Collogo is tho one fact that wo had best pay hood to and seo to it that its groat promi ses are fulfilled, and that nothing be allowed to hamper its progross or im pair its usefulness. In my judgment it is not ade quately supported. As a business investment, puro and simple, it ought to liavo right now ono hun dred thousand dollars a year. Everyone baa been informed through the newspapers that less than half of the applications received have been accepted, or could be ac cepted. This proves how strong Ts the demand for industrial training, For an education that will fit a young aian for Hie. No drumming up of students is aver necessary. Nor are any of thc devices for filling empty benches resorted to. Enlarging tho barracks would not meet tho emergency. Thc faculty is oven now badly overworked and would itself need enlargement. Thc 3litiro plant, indeed, while doing first-class work and all that could bo sxpeoted, is entirely inadequate ; and Lhere is a steadily i nor easing demand for industrial education. Tho far mer who lias enjoyed it would cer tainly be unwilling to sec his sons without it; and so in all lines. South Carolina must do what she expects 1er sons to do-her duty. In a (hort time it will, not be necessary to irgue this. Thc reasonableness of t will be apparent. Is tho State )Oor? Then this is tho quickest vay to make it rich and prosperous ; n fact tlie only way. Our present itock of politicians will propaldy last i century. Wc must make constant idditions to our stock of useful citi iciiR. In these circumstances the duty of .he State is clear. There must be io backward step. Industrial edu ction is a necessity of modern Statc ?ood. Neglect it and tho State at >nce falls behind other States and >thcr nations. It is certainly an ibvious function of modern State lood to make its citizens useful and it to discharge properly their own ;ivic relations. Beyond that i.- mere irgumcnt-up to that it is a self : vident truth. What I desire to disseminate in ho last instance is that Clemson College belongs wholly to tho peo ple of South Carolina, and that brough it is afforded opportunity to unploy our talent at homo. There s no reason assignable why wo hould not bend effort to make this nstitution what it deserves to bo, he first of ils kind in America. It is aid along the broadest lines. There, tannol bo any sectionalism about it. Clemson will never enter ward poli ies. Its work is too serious, too Jeep for that. Its tone is already ofty ; its aims high ; its destiny i III - neasurable. Every South Carol i li an can be proud of it. The day will tome, wc firmly believe, when no tane man will lift his voice against t. That may safely be left to its >wn fulfillment. At present it, is luflioicnt lo know that every dollar mt into it is expended wisely and hat the management is giving re mits, livery year now will tell ils ?wu tale. Those who know it best nive no fear as to Clemson's future. Don'tBundle Your Throat You can cough your Isclf Into bronchitis, \pneumonln and con sumption.
