While in this state our primary settles the question of men to fill the various positions, it is very important that ohr people should furn out and vote in the gen eral election. This is the only state in the Union in which general elec tions will be held this fall in which there is no opposition ticket, but that is so much more the reason why we should poll it full vote next Tuesday. It. matters very little so far as our state an(] county officcrs are eon cerned, but in the congressional dis - tricts it is important so as to keep up our representation in congress that the qualified voters should go to the polls and cast their ballots. We trust, therefore, that the people will take the proper view of it and turn oil and vote. We publish in another column a brief statement of reecipts for Clem son college. This statement shows that $165,000.00 in round numbers was collected from the privilege tax between July 1, 1905 and 'July 1, 1906. Deducting from this the amount of unused tags, leaves a net income of $158,354.03. The expense of analysis amounted to $17,626.59. This shownj that, Clemson has a surplus from the cost ot the collection of the privilege tax for the year ending July, 1900 of $1410,000.00. Counting the other sources of income for Clemson the total must be in the neighborhood of $200,00.00. Taking the enrollment ol' a little more than six hundred boys, it. costs tile state about $300.00 a ses sion to educate a boy at Clemson, and this does not include what the boy has to pay for uniform and board. This is aln expensive college, but it does seen to us that tlie cost, is it little lore than it, ougit to be and that, the institution might be run more economically. There is no doubt that it is one of the best agricultural in stitutons in the United States, but it would be better for the institution if it could have a,fixed income instead of a varying one, as must be the case so long as it. depends uponl the privi lege tax for its support. 0ov. 1).

''You don't expect us to believe s that, boy you?'' said the man with c pointed heard. ''It's the solemn truth,'' rejoined t the other. "T ean testify to it of my o own personal knowledge, and can i prove it, by every member of my un- s Cle's family.'' '' It (oesn't seem absolutely impos- a sible to me,'' said another boarder. ''eme animals can count. This has m been proved in the case of oxen that c are used in certain foreign countries .4 as the motive power for primitive i mills or irrigation machinery. They i are driven a hundred times round a v ciretlar track and then allowed to s rest. After a few months the oxen r will slop at the hundredth revolution t of 1heir own accord. The only possi- t ble explanation of this is that the t animals can count a hundred. But b how can a hen, eve'n though she may I learn to count seven easily enough < grasp the idea that it is wrong to lay an egg on Sunday? That is the only I feature of the case that I can't under- f stand1. What is your explanation of it ?''( ''W\ell,'' rep)lied the baldheadled boarder, ''the only reason I can offer why the old hen never lays any egg on Sundlay is that she never lays an egg on any other day of the week, and Ii hasn 't for two whole years.
