Ile hus supported it us possibly the best, solu tion of the liquor question. At the same time be has bad his own views ns to the manner of its enforcement, lie has felt that it should be enforced ns other laws aro enforced. Since he hus assumed the duties of governor he has been looking more carefully into the law and the manner of its enforcement. Particularly has ho inquired into the constabulary fea ture of the law. Ile has endeavored to ascertain the cost of the constabulary and to determine if it were not possible to reduce expenses ulong this line. After mature deliberation and a thorough and careful canvass of the whole Situation from u business stand point he has decided to reduce the con stabulary force and yesterday after noon notified 25 of the 59 constable? that their services would be dispensed with after the 17th, to-morrow. In taking this step, it was given on,' from the governors oflice yesterday that there were no charges against the men dropped, nor did the governor mean it to be understood by his action that he considered any of the men in efficient, but carrying out his ideas of business ho believed thc law could mid would be enforced just as efficiently with M men ns it had been with 50, and he would by this reduction save $1,750 n month in this one matter of expense. In this position he hus thc heart}' endorsement of the State Hoard of con trol. Thc constabulary has been cost ing the State from $50,000 to $00,000 n year. In May the constabulary cost $4,200 in lound numbers. This one re duction will save to the State about $20,000 a year. The governor confidently expects and asks that every officer m South Caro lina shall assist in the enforcement of the dispensary law just as every other law, and he nopes that every county officer and every municipal officer, whether he be sherill" cr mayor or magistrate or constable shall lend his aid and influence to the enforcement of the dispensary law. If this is done it may be possible to further reduce the force. Not only so, he says, but he shall expect every good and law abiding citizen to do his part. He hopes there will be no friction or trouble in the enforcement of this law or anv other law.-The State, loth inst. Law as Well as Common Sense. COLUMBIA. June 17.-The dog, "the yellow dog," if you please, or any sort of a dog, is on top again. The Supreme Court of South Carolina is on ' his side. The Supreme Court holds that a dog has value and can be stolen and that the old common law is out of date und the modern dog is entitled to legal protection, and if you steal a dog you can be sent to prison. The case was started in Newberry, where a negro named Langford was charged with stealing a dog, dog house, ect. The Circuit Judge held, according to the common law, that a dog was not the subject of larceny and quashed thc in dictment. Now the Supreme Court unanimously holds that the common law does not apply here; that it is wrong not to value a dog simply be cause he is not edible, and that it is not a whim or caprice to keep a dog. The Court defends the dog for devotion and attachment, and contends that it is entirely a punishnble crime to steal a doff, and that the stealing of a dog may be punished if the facts warr?nt and the mdictment be properly drawn. The Circuit Court is reversed on the .dog demurrer.-Neicg and Couria: Success of Clemson College. To The Editor of Thc Newts and Cou rier: During the greater part of the .last year Clemson has been under the management of Dr. Hartzog. If ma I- tonal results are tobe taken. as evi dence, Clemson has gotten a man at its head who is fully capable of man aging it. This is a big job, and unless there is unusual executive ability something will go lacking. The Third class has just left the Col lege to toke up various lines of work. Seventy-nine alumni have gone ont from Clemson-three classes having graduated. Many of these young men went back to the tann, many ure at work in electrical works, or as .draughtsmen. They seem to do well, and as to Clemson's past, there is noth ing to complain of. Let us see what the future pointe to. During the past year over four hun dred men have attended College, the ?freshman class ia larger than lt has ever been, and during the year the president was forced to discourage young men from entering the College. The Textile School has- been running practically all the year, abtrat thirty students taking the course. This is one of the most interesting features of the College, and South Carolina and Clemson can look for material results from this department. The mechanical department is doing good work, and great interest is taken by the students m mechanics. This is evidenced by the boys spending their Sat urdays doing work in the shops, and making motors, book cases, etc, for themselves. All the students who- come here are loyal to the College, and there is an abundance of College spirit among the boys. The record in athletics in College or SanizatioDB and in literary societies nring the post year is very enviable. God-speed to Clemson in her field of work. If the schools of the State would for fret to be envious, and work together or the purpose of uplifting thel?tate, how much better all would get on. Let them help one another ! AU have "their respective fields to work in, and the only rivalry should bo to vie with one another in fitting men for their professions along the differ ent lines. B.

IU promoters say that if they are successful in carrying out their ideas, 250,000,00? tons ot cornstalk that aro burned or loft to rot by thc farmers of tho United States will prove to bo ? as valuable as coal, or about $0 per ; ton. W. li. Taite, representing a syndicate : of St. Louis, Chicago and Cleveland j capitalists, is now in thc city, preparing ' tho way for a meeting of the promoters | of tho combine, which is to be held at I tho Waldorf-Astoria on August 15,1 when thc scheme of financing and thc d?tails of organization will be perfected. While ho was reticent when seen yes terday, he intimated that thc combine would not have for it? object the. stirling of competition, but simply the develop ment of thc cornstalk as a commercial ! commodity and thc creation of markets I for its several products. Mr. Tate has been in communication in tho last fow days with several well known promoters of this city, and from ono of these thc purposes of the new trust, elong with some interesting figures, were secured. Over 250,000,000 tons of cornstalks are grown in the United States every year, the acreage averaging 80.000,000 and the yield about three tons to the acre. Ot this immense amount, two thirds, or about 100,000,000 tons, has heretofore been regarded as sheer waste and litter, lette than one-third of the total weight of the stalks being serviceable, as fodder for cattle. This waste matter has been aseri?os trouble to farmers for a long time, not because of an understood loss of revenue by it, but simply because of thc necessity of getting rid of it, by burning or other wise, i h order to free the soil of an en cumberance. Science has demonstrated now that this so-called waste has value all its own, and reckoned at its present mar ket pri?e it is now known that the farmers of the country have been throwing away or burning up and otherwise destroying $?00,000,000 a year for two decades at least, or $18, 000,000,000. It is a safe estimate that twice that enormous sum has been allowed to go to waste in cornstalks in this county alone in the present cen tury. A company organized a few years ago by Mark W. Marsden, of Philadel ?uiia, which has two factories, one in tock ford, III., and another in Owens boro, Ky., has been successfully man ufacturing six different products from cornstalks. These are cellulose, which is used for the lining of battleships, serving as an automatic leak stopper, the value of which is well known; a first-class cardboard, splendid paper, an unequalled foundation for dyna mite, a patent cattle food and a glue. Itis these products and others that tuc cornstalk may in the future bo capable of yielding that the proposed combine intends to handle. Whether or not the Marsden Company will enter the com bine is not known, but according to Mr. Tate the success of the scheme does not depend upon the securing of the Marsden* patents, he intimating that the promoters of the trust control their owii process. Mr. Marsden has a contract with the Government for cellulose at $400 per ton, and it is figured that he can man ufacture one ton of cellulose from in tons of stalks, or $400 worth ol' cellulose from $00 worth of stalks, nat counting his by-products. Ground cornstalks, cooked and sweetened with molasses and pressed into brick, is regarded as one of the most nutritive cattle foods yet placed on the market. The paper and cardboard manufactured from cornstalks are already recognized as exceptionally superior articles. It is the dust of cellulose that is used for making powder and dynamite. By reason of its powers of absorption and retention of nitro-glycerine, it is de clared to be immensely superior to sea island cotton, which heretofore has been the chief base for high explosives. The glue manufactured from corn stalks finds a ready market with jewel ers and artists. Mr. Tate will leave for Washington in a few days to look after several patents for which he is negotiating. As for os could be learned, the trust will erect five factories in the North west and Southern corn belts, and im mediately upon organization will begin operation.-New York Commercial. Mayor of AtV.nta Flayed in Pulpit? - ATLANTA, June IO.-Ina sensational sermon to-night Dr. L. G. .Broughton, pastor of the Baptist tabernacle, called upon the eity council to impeach James G. Woodward, mayor of Atlan ta. Dr. Broughton said the chief ex ecutive was a "confessed gambler, a libertine, a sot and a? disgrace to the city." At these words the audience of about 2,000 people cheered. In the course of his renrnrks Dr. Broughton said: "When the mayor was a member of an important committee to go to Wash ington on the matter of federal prison site, he was drunk most of the time, and there were other things that oc curred in connection with him that I hesitate to mention from the pulpit. He should be impeached afc once. If the members-of the city council do not impeach him, I shall take steps mvself. No such man has a right to be mayor of this city. The situation is indecent and disgraceful." When asked after the sermon why he moved against Mayor Woodward Dr. Broughton said:' "I have given this matter much consideration' and I believe 1 have taken a step in the right direction. I know what I am talking about. The actions Of the present mayor of Atlanta since he has held office are a disgrace to the city and tho people this man represents." Mayor Woodward was informed of1 Dr. Brough ton's remarks late to-night. The executive said: "I regard che statements of Dr. Broughton as ridic ulous. I ask the public to r.ospend judgemnt." y Would Hare Wemen Propose. Dr. H. Law, of San Francisco,- lec tured before an audience of invited guests, many of whom belong to wo men's clubs,, at Berkeley Lyceum yes terday afternoon: His subject was "Higher Physical Conditions,* and his chief references were to women. "I hope to see the day," he said, "when a woman shall bc free to ask the man abe loves to become her husband, as a man is free to ask the woman he loves .to become his wife. A woman should be able and wise to chooso the father of her children, and it should be no social offense for lier to seek in marriage as well as to give herself in marringe." -New 1'orh Sun.
