Miller will romain at the head of the State Col ored College at Orangeburg, as is the wish of every white and colored friend of that institution, which was born in bis brain, given life through his work and made a success by his untiring and un ceasing efforts. This result was arrived at at a meeting of the trustees of that institution, at which every member but one was present. The trustees, without exception, re quested President Miller to withdraw his resignation, which he did because he was requested to do so by white and col ored peoplo in nearly every county of tho State. He made his fight for high morality in schools, but, regardless of tho conduct of the two women teachers, their white friends in Charleston re quested their retention and the trustees yielded to this pressure from Charleston and retained thom. President Miller said that he felt that he owed something to tho two iae.es which had been so loyal to tho institu tion and himself in tho past ton years, hence he yielded to their request. Ho thanks ovory nowspaper in tho State, white and colored, that has sustained him in this fight, and will continue to do his very best for the interests of the school as long as he is at its hoad.
