TO REMAIN AT CLINTON. Board of Trustees Decide Not t< Move Presbyterian College Vote Almost Unanimous. The trustees of the Presbyteriai collge of South Carolina have decid ed that the college will remain a Clinton. This determination wa reached says tne State of Saturda, after a great deal of deliberation, bu -t is understood that the action of th board was well nigh unanimous, al though the bid of rhe city of Ches ter did receive some votes. It couli not be learned exactly how the votl stood. !Clinton has been the home of th college ever since its establishmen by Dr. Jacobs and his assistants abou twenty-five years ago. A few year .igo an effort was made to get th synod of South Carolina interested ii the college, and the charer was trar ferred by act o; the legislature to . board of trustees e::ted by the sever al presbyreries of the syno-d in addi tion to the three alumni trustees But in exchanging the college fron one board of management to anothei the title to the real estate remaine< vested in the Clinton college associa tion. This is apparently the hitch whicl led to the agitation for removal However, all of that has been set tled very happily and the Clinton. col lege association has transferred all o its rights to the Presbyterian col lege of South Carolina. For that rea son it is considered that Clinton mad< an offer the equal of any other, ex cept possibly Bennettsville, in th< amount of money and property of fered, but Clinton had an added ho14 on the committee, for in that ~towi the college was started and it ha many friends whom removal migh estrange. The Official Statement. Accordingly the board decidei against removal, and the commit tee appointed for that purpose las night gave our the following state ment: "The committee appointed to brinm in a paper expressing the sentiment of the board jfn relation to the- propo - sitions. submitted by the communitie of Bennettsville, Chester, Clintor Sumter and .YorkvilHe, for the loca ting of the Presbyterian college c South Carolina beg -leave to sub -mit the following as 'their report, viz "ist. Resolved, That this boar< ihas been profoundly impressed byr thi intelligent enthusiasm and enlighten * ed liberality displayed .by the cit3 zens of these several communities i: their efforts to secure for their peo pie the benefits of an institution c higher learning within their respect ive gates. 'To see the most activ business of five of our most progress ive .cities turn aside f'or a time fror the claims and duties of their indi vidual calHings and with one hear and one mind seek to promote th common good, to see them expres by actions and gifts that speak loude than words the 'high va'lue that the: set upon the blessings of a Christia2 education for their young men is, in deed, a most inspiring and a mos hopeful sign. "2nd. Resolved, That the boar< would have felt safe in commictini the int'erests of the college, unde God, into the keeping of the peopi of any.one of these five communities and wish t!hat it had been in thei power to reward the efforts and liber ality of each of them by listening c< their desires so ably 'voiced by tihel respective representatives and loca ting the college with each of their "3rd. Resolved, That. ,whateve may be the natural disappointmen that the worthy people of Bennetts ville, Chester, Sumter and Yorkvi-ll< may and perhaps must feel at the con clusion reached, the board trusts tha they will believe us when we assur them'that we have endeavored to dea with their respective proposition with the most scrupulous fairness and that we have reached our conclu sion only after the most careful can vassing of the whole case from ever' point of view, and under a constan sense of claims that each of thes communities who have comnpeted fo the possession of the college had upos our consideration. "4th. Resolved, That our fina concht:sion by which it was decided t< retain the college at Clinton wa reached under a rule of principle tha we laid down for ourselves and pub lished to the world in our action in June last; at that time we said: D " 'Now, the board desires it to be distinctly understood that while they have felt that they ought to give a courteous consideration Yo the propo sition that has come to them from - Yorkville, their clear judgment is t they would not be justified from any s point of view in accepting any propo sition for a change of location that t did not offer *he cleares: and most e manifest advantages to the college _ that the Presbyterians have entrust ed to their care.' (See The State, I June 7th, '05, p. 2.) "The propositions submitted -co us by the several communities, Clinton included, now being before the pub t lic, the latter can judge for them selves how far the board has adhered to the principle thtus announced. "The proposition of Bennettsville, constiuting as it did a case to itself, the board still 'has under advisement." Clinton Rejoiced. The people of Clinton have been more deeply interested in this project than the people of any other town making a bid and there was a general jubilation at Clinton Thursday night. He Became Independent. Charles M. Schwab, in the cool of i the evening, was pacing Atlantic City's board walk. Every little while a chairman, passing, would give him such a salute as an emperor might have envied. 'fqWhy," said someone, "do these chair-pushers greet Mr. Schwab so impressively?" "It is because he tips them with such generosity," another replied. But- Mr. Schwab depreca-ted that statement. Then, laughing, he said: "No, I am not extravagant in my tips. At the same time I try to t avoid the example that old Thomas McWade set in Lore-tto in my boyhood. "One day Thomas pulled up his I team before the general store. " 'Here Herb, hold my horse," he t said, getting down. - "So Herb, a one-armed man, held the horse ten minutes. Then Thomas Sreappeared. s " 'Thank you Herb,' was all he said - and he got in and drove off. And s Herb, who had expected at least , a nickel, was too angry to say a - word. f "But a few weeks later Thomas - go-r down from his team at the : same place and asked the one-armed dman to hold it for him again. e "Herb, primed now, shook his - head. - " 'No, Thomas,' he said, 'I've given i that up. I don't need to hold horses - no more.' f "'How's that?' asked Thomas. - " 'Why,' Herb answered, 'what you e (gave me last time has made me in - dependent.'
