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.
To creel a college building on this
beautiful athletic, field would not onlv

Tii our bumble judgment, the pro
^ posed building could well be placed on
either side of the president's house,
and the general university plan retained.
with benefit to the institution
and to its friends in the community.
Respectfully submitted,

This petition is signed by Mayor
lieamcr and every member of council
except one, who was out of the city;
by resident alumni; by the presi
idents and cashiers ??f all ol the

lawyers, physicians, and other professional
men.
The city of Columbia is iu great
need of school build?ngs. Some time
ago there was some talk of trying to
get a lot from llie university for the
purpose of eroding a school building
at some future lime. The proposition
was discouraged by the university authorities.
on llie ground that they
wished to keep Gibbes' Green intacl.

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. The idea
"l^r "lil' fiyVe roads came together al
^^g|oiiii..?;nd hence the approprialeT]rthe
designation .
/
r
"At the height of this discussion,
however, Mr. Henry Clinton Young ot!
1 Laurens, n man of high diameter,
lawyer, tnucli liked in this section of
the country and a geiltleman whose
life and whose professions corresponded,
happened to pass by, when
i the suggestion was made to name the
c town of Clinton in his honor. 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. Mr.
Young was living in Laurens for a I-O
number of years after I moved to Ov
. (Iiis town. 1 knew him well and be- ^11
, lieve that the statement made as to
I the naming of the town is the correct
I one.
