I( WANT A PARK. :It is Urged That the Gibbos Greei Should bo Preserved for All Time to Come. The Stalo. Considerable dissatisfaction lias been caused by the announcement that the trustees of the University ol South Carolina propose to erect 01 Gibbes' Green a building; for whiel the legislature of South Carolina has appropriated $.'10,000. It is hoped thai Gibbes' Green can be kept as it is without being marred by buildings ol any kind. The green is a very beautiful park with its grassy slopes and its pines beaut it ul though too few. It is urgeti that the university lias so much real cst'ate (hat is available that it wouhl be ! sacrifice to mar the beauty of tin green with any buildings, no mattei how beautiful. A pel it ion will) the following pre amble 'lias been sent to I he board ol trustees, the board having aunouncd thai il would meet yesterday: To the Honorable, I lie Hoard of Trustees, I niversilv of South Carolina; Honorable Sirs; We, the undersigned citizens and taxpayers of the citv of ('(diuiibia, and the Stale oi Sotilli Carcdina, do most respectfully petition your honorable body to rescind your decision lo creel I he new university building on the green, or Gibbes' Green, in the rear of the president's house.

THE TOWN OF CLINTON. Di. W. P. Jacobs Gives Interesting History of Origin of Name. The last issue of llie Clinton Gazelle contains an interesting article from Dr. W. 1'. Jacobs on the origin of the name Clinton. Dr. -Jacobs says: "Til yours of lasl week I notice Ibe kindly reference to myself, with the request I hat 1 give llie origin of Ibe name (Million for Ibis (own. 1 have never seen the following statement in print, bill.T heard il in 180-1, jttsl after coining lo what was I lien llie lilllo town of Clinton, and can only vouch for il as traditional. II is said thai I here was aboul 18.72-3 a very strenuous discussion as lo I lie future name of (he promising lit lie railroad town which was I lien llie terminus of (he road and which was showing signs of having considerable vitality. "One parl'y advocated llie name 'Round Jacket' in honor of one of ils citizens whose favorite habiliment was of Ilia! class, while others advocated llie name of 'Five Points,' then notorious in conned ion with Xew York' roughs 'and loughs.

It was - heartily seconded and carried and it i was not many years before the town C( ? itself aspired to the ideal set by Mr. ' Henry Clinton Young, and is today I known far and wide for the strai?ht, forward integrity ol: its people.
