[Greenville Nows, April 10-J Sixty thousand dollars is to bo ?peut in improving aud enlarging Clemson Col lege. A resolution making tbo appropri ation was adopted ata speoial meeting of fie Hoard of Trustees bold at the collego Yesterday. Senator Tillman was seon for a fow moments at the Southern Railway sta tion her ta yesterday af teruoou ou his way back to Washington. Ho was traveling on tho northbound vestibule. With him woro several other mom hors of tho board, includiug Trustees Tindal, Kvans ano Wanuamaker Col. M. L. Donaldson also returned on tbo vest?bulo, having ... : ended the meet I m;. "Yes, wo have made up our minds to spond ovory cent wo can on the college that, is on permauout improvements," .said Sonator Tillman. "Wo did not con sider any small tilings at thu mooting to day. Wo had only tho big thiugs in mind. In view of tho fact ?hat there ave soveral hundred applications oach yoar for rooms in excoss of tho accommoda tions at tho college, tho Unateos docidod that those boys, who were being tinned away, had to ho educated. There was nothing loft for us but to build addi tional barracks, aud that will bo ono of the big things to como out of the sixty thousand dollar appropriation. We havo directed, among othor thiugs, that at least 200 bod rooms shall bo provided, which will mako tho collego largo enough to supply tho demand for a few years at ioast/' Sonator Tillman did not have time to ?go into details os to tho improvements. Ho said that the plans had to bo made first and then a bettor idea oould be .given. Ouo of thopriucipal things, how ever, outside of tho now dormitory, is the erect ion of a new powor plant aud fertilizer buildiug. Tho idea of the trus tees is to reduce operating expeuses by centralizing the power plant, for heating as woll as for lighting purposos. This will add groatly to tho cflicioncy of tho mechanical department of the collego The fertilizer dopartmont, which ii really a State dopartmont sololy, will bo improved and enlarged, and it is almost a certainty that the printing school will be added to tho collego course. This de partment will, in a great measure, be made to pay for itself, for a great deal of 1 it?r?t ut e of various sorte is distributed from tho institution, and in addition, tho "Hill" bas a quantity of job work, which is now hoing done olsowhore. lu addition to tho fund coming from the Legislature as a result of tho ferti lizer tag tax, tho United States govern ment has made arrangements to givo ..fcft.OOO annually, for six yoars, tho money to ho usod in agricultural experiments cinder tho direction of tho collego au thorities. Instead of six hundred students, moro or less crowded, Clemson will, in ano thor year, accommodate eight hundred .Students, perhaps more. Still it will not bo ns large as a number of similar insti tutions in other States. GEN. YOU MAINS' APPOINTMENT. A Deservod Honor to a Worthy South Caro liman -A Hero ol "76. To the Editor of Tho State: In ap pointing Hon. LeRoy K. Voumans to tito otliee Ol Attorney General to succeed Un lamented Mr. Gunter, Governor Hayward performed a worthy act and one that will moot universal approbation. Everybody appreciates tho ability and pro-eminent attainments of Mr. Youmaus, either from personal acquaintance or from repu tation, Evory one who knows him real izes his honesty, his amiability and his Accomplishments; hut only those who ii ved ?md saw his woik tor his native .state in tho revolutionary times, which terminated tho Reconstruction period, will over know what Smith Carolina owes to Voumans. If Hampton re deemed the State from Radical misrule, Voumans, in a Borios of the grandest legal battles that ever wore fought in the OOUrtS of any OOUtltry, preserved the trulls of that redemption. He did not do itali; other groat, devoted lawyers Stood hy lum and tonghi with him, but he was recognized as the lender and he load grandly and to success. A blunder, . single, mistake .it any omi of the criti cal points ot that, troniondous contro versy, and all would have liven lost, hut he made no mistake. Governor Hay ward has honored himself and his ad ministration m honoring this true, brave, patriotic, noble old sim and ser vant ot South Carolina. '70. To tho Editors of tho Koowoe Courier: Those of us old enough to remember tho .struggle of IsTti recall with pride and pleasure tho uprising of the white peo ple of South Carolina, and tho rescue of our State from Carpetbaggers and scala wags. In the forefront of that unequal struggle, alongside of Hampton and Hagood, was Voumans, tho Ional advisor on thc ticket. For those splendid efforts of tho white people a new .South Caro lina has grown up ! .Mr. Voumans has hoon honored hy tho i, OVOrnor to take tho place in his cabinet of the honored and lamented Gunter. Mr. Voumans needs this office for the ensuing two yoars. In adverse times he devoted himself to his prostrate State, it would ho a gracious act to make acknowl edgment for his loyally in perilous and adverse times to elect him for the ensu ing terni to his earlier offloo. Of course, younger nun properly aspiro to ho At torney General Of South Carolina, hut we venture to remark that consideration for the veteran of perilous times may yield a large futuro return.
