E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New-: berry, S. C., as second class matter. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1905. There seems to be an educational tidal wave sweeping over the state at this time. All of the colleges and high. schools report an increased in terest and the prospect of large en rolment. At Clemson, where no effort is made to secure students -868 ap plications were tiled by young men who desire to enter that institution. All of these were from South Caro lina except 48 who were from other states. The dormitories will only ac commodate 624 boys when every bed is taken. This is the statement of President Mell. Nearly 2oo South Carolina boys are turned away from this institution this year because there is not dormitory room. The teach ing force and other anpliances are am ple for these other :.,) South Carolina boys who are knocking for admission to this college. They are entitled tc receive its tuition as much as those who are admitted, but when the dor mitories are all occupied there must be a stop. The 'State's duty is plain. More dormitories should be provid ed. The State is making no appro priation -o this college, but the other sources of income are sufficient tc provide these additional dormitories and they no doubt will be provided if the policy of the legislature was fixed so that there would be no dan ger of interference. We cannot see how the legislature can afford co in terfere with an institution where 8oc young men are knocking for admis sion. At Newberry college the president states that the applications for enrol ment this year are four times as large as last year and that last year was high water mark. There has usually been from 40 to 50 new students each year. According to the forecast of the president the new boys will num ber from i6o to 200. which is more than the total enrolment usually. And so it is at Winthrop. More than can be accommodated and many young ladies turced away. These are institutions that are having overflows. At Clemson the estimate was correct. The institution has opened. The other two open inl a fewv days. The other colleges in the state report hine prospects, but no overflows. The common schools should flour isn, because where there is an awak ening for higher education the com mon schools are the most prosper ous. We hope that will be the case in our own state. Saluda News. The weaeher continues dry, hot and uncomfortable. Those who have waited for rain to sow their turnips have been disappointed. -The supervisor of Newberry came by appointment to Bouknight's ferry to meet our supervisor, but he failed to show up.

Mrs. Mont Ruff continues quite ill. Several of our farmers are Taking their cotton to Prosperity and Bates 'burg for the better prices than given~ elsewhere.

Mr. Towill Has No Statement.

The fact that out of ourteen instructors at this school five are from South Carolina and all from the South Carolina Military accademy speaks well for the sta:e and for that school. Mr. Daniel says that since the burn ing of several of the buildinigs at Staunton about a year ago. large new 1uildings have gone up to replace them, and that the coming year wil! be. from the present outlook, the most prosperous in the history of the school. Last year they had about 245 students and this year 320 have so far signified their intention of en ~tering :he school on its opening on the 20thl.
