One of the handsomest, and at the sime time one of the most interesting, publications we have seen lately is the booklet recently published by the Clem son Agricultural College, giving in con ciso detall the history of this great insti tution from its inception (1889) to the close of the lOOfl session. The careful reading of this booklet gives a dearer conception and a keener appreciation of the magnitude of thia famous institution within the borders of Ooonee. Every oitizen of this opunty ahould be proud of Clemson College, nud it strikes us that Oconeo bas never been ?8 largely represented in the student body as she should have been. Out of 3,086 students, who have attended Clem eon up to the 1900 session, ody 158 were from Ooonee. True, Ooonee is one of the emallor counties of South Carolina, and she ranks third in number of students at Clemson, yet, the college being within our borders, it seems to us the number is too small for our best interests. An derson county leads in tho number of stu dents, having furnished 248, Charleston comes second with 197, and Oconee third with 158. How muoh better off would our county be to-day had she furnished dou ble or treble tnat number of students for this institution peculiarly our own ! Those who have gone out from Clemson liave doue so bettor fitted for lifo and better equipped for citizenship than it would havo beeu possible otherwise. A short extract of faota aud figures from this publication will doubtless be of interest to many. Tu ere have been 335 graduates from Clemson, not including tho olass of 1900. We quote the follow ing from tho dose of a summary of the graduates: "These graduates aro living in twenty six States, but the largest proportion of thom are living in the South, and m> y of them are helping to develop the re sources of South Carolina. "Since 1893, whon tho college was tirst opened for the admission of students, 3,080 boys have roapod beoeflts from the education offered by clemson Agricul tural College. What aro these boys do ing in helping to uplift their country ? The answer to this question is difficult. Hut no one will deny the fact that in at tending Clemson College they have been thereby better fitted to make valuable citizens and wealth-produciug workers. "Those 8,060 students came from tho ' following counties of the State: Abbeville.119 Ilamptou.41 M Aiken. ?4 Ilorry. 1?

Within thirteen years Oconeo has had 158 stu dents entered-au avorage of a fraction ?ivor 12 for each year that tho institution bas boon actually opon, is that the proper representation for Oconee? We ! do not think so. The trustees for donison ('ollego are erecting a new dormitory, so that on < September 1st, 1907, tho institution can accommodate 200 moro boys, makins' ac comodation possiblo for 824. There are now 272 on the waiting list. We would be glad to know that Ooonee will iu the future be more largely repre- ? sentad in tho student body of Clemson College. It is emiuently worthy, and we ' feel that Oconee county has lost much by Laving had no fow of her boys tutored in ? this groat State iuHtitution within our very doors. Toe Woman's National Daily, of St. Thouin, recently roforred to the Charles ton Nows and Couiior tu? "Senator Till man's homo paper." When in a very ?r<rinns vein somotimos the most amut iug jokes aro sprung uticousciously. "Elijah II" (John Alexander Dowie). announced before bo died that he will return at the end of ono thousand years. He did not say, howover, that he will come as the re-roiucarna'iou of Elijah, but he will, of courso, "return to his own" and thus tvdiabitato his beloved Zion with bis folLiwors and "turn theil lasc?is out." 11 A COMPLIMENT WORTHILY 'JESTOWEO. . li --- Quit? a lar/e majority of the votera of Walhalla met in the Court House ou last Friday evening for tho purpose of select ing sod nominating one to fill the va oanoy In the position of Mayor, created by the death of James Thompson. Tbe situation was nnique in that there waa uo oandidate for the place, and it had become necessary to draft a man. Tho convention waa large aod it would be unusual- bad there not boon some dif ference of opinion as to the best and most available man. The convention or ganised and entered upon the subjeot in a spirit of harmony, and in less than thirty minutes it was unanimously de termined that the right man for the place was J. A. ?Stock, and be was unani mously Dominated. Mr. Steok was present aod upon the announcement- of his selection he ad dressed the body in a few well chosen words. He said that he had felt that hi? business was snoh that be could not possibly assume the dutieo of Mayor, bot that he would not be human did ho not appreciate the compliment bestowed, and that as his town had so rtatterlogly called, he would do his best to meet their expectations. f?a said he would know no man or set of men in adminis tering the affairs of Walhalla. We feel sure that the convention made no mistake in its choice Mr. Steok IS a young man of much ability, energy and seal for the welfare of his town. In this day of progress a town that does not go forward in the work of up building and improvement will in a very short time be a back number. There is much need of improvement here in the ? iy of cleaning up, street work and beautifying all around and we feel s?re that the Mayor will not be wanting In the performance of duty. No one ex cept evil doers and loafers need fear the new Mayor. If any oitlzen here be a vagrant he better obtain and perform work. j. w. s. Prepare this Yourself. For those who have any form of blood disorders, who want new, rioh blood and plenty of it, try this: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Shake well in a bottle and take in tea spoonful doses after eaoh meal and at bodtimo. Any good pharmacy can sup ply the ingredients at small cost. This is the proscription which, when made up, is called "The Vegetable Treat ment;" by others, the "Cyclone Blood Purifier." It acts gently and certainly does wonders for some peoplo who aro sickly, weak and out of sorts, and is known to relieve serious, long-standing ease.- of rheumatism and ohronio back ache quickly. Mako some up and try it. Salem Paragraphs. Salem, March 18.-John H. Compton, who bas been attending Behool here for the past two months, returned to his home at Fair Play Saturday. Mrs. S. S.

Citizen. Do Not Crowd the Season. '"he li i Kt warm days of spring bring ,s it o them a desire to get out and enjoy he exhilerating air and sunshine. Chil li on that have been housed up all win cr are brought out and you wonder .vbere they all oame from. The heavy .vintor clothing is thrown aside and many died their flannels.

The Florida fruit and produce crop is now being marketed. The first oar load lot of strawberries wore shipped north this week. A fine yiold will be made and truckers expect to make good money. All of tho crops are good this season with the exception of pine apples. Only a half crop of this fruit will be made, owing to the damage caused by the re cent freeze, ami also to the fact that a storm completely ruined the crop around Miami, which is the largest pine apple growing district. In speaking of Florida fruit and pro duce business a railroad man, who has just returned from the Orango State, had the following to say: "The celery outlook is particularly good, in fact, I havo uever soon it finer in my life. There will be between 500 and 600 oar loads shipped this season from Sanford, Manatee and Yoho City Dis tricts. '.Tomatoes are also in fine condition and shipments are also being made by express. The shipments for the season will be between 800 and 1,000 crates. "Strawberries are in good shape and car load shipments are now beginning to go north. "Hastings, the Florida 'potato king,' ex peet s to ship about 125,000 barrols of potatoes this season. "The early poaohes were killed by the freeze, but the later varieties are in good condition and growers are expecting an abundant yield, the shipments being estimated at about 250 cars for the com log season."-Florence Times.
