Income Front Fertilizer Tag Tax
Shown to be Exactly $164,996.82.
Anderson, Sjx-ciul.?Judging from
I the newspaper editorials and the talk
of individuals, Clemson Collide will
(eomc in for a big shAre of the time of
(he next general assembly.
! Knowing that the annual report of
l tho board of trufcteaa of Clemsou Col
lege was heiug prepared, a correoptfud*
ent called on Col. H. W. Simpson,
chairman of that board, at Pendleton.
The finance committee will meet Fri
day night at Clemnon College to put
the annual report in writing, at which
t time Mm of the Mtfltft "tt'llt
be .furnished with u copy of Jibe re
port.
I This report will show that Clemnon
College? secured from the privilege tux
on fertilizers and cotton seed meal be
tweent .July 1, 1^05, and July 1, 1906,
exactly $104,990.82. From this largo
amount must be deducted the amount
of tho unused tags which nmount is
$0,024.79, so really $158,354.03 is what
tho college secarcd.
Tho report will show the following
expenditurea: ?<
Expenses of analysis and in
spection of fertilizers ayd e
'cotton seed meal $17,020.59
Beneiiciary scholarships .. . 11,018.79
('oast experiments 1,042.83
Entomological inspection .. 700.00.
Veterinary inspection .. .. 1,509.52
Holding farmers* institutes
in different sections of the
state 2,325.83
Printing popular bulletins . 790.23
'Total .. . .$30,324.23
After deducting this amount' from
the $158,354.03. it 'leaves Clemson
College proper $122,030.80 wit 1$which
to operate the college. To this amount
should be added the income from pay
cadets, which amounts to about $20,
000 annually, which gives as a grand
fotal $148,030.80.
. There are about 000 cadets at the
college this year and if this number is
divided into the $142,030,80, the
cost of each cadet annually is $23G.71?
In making up these figures, it must
not be forgotten that the college is
always making some improvement*.
The equijqnents of the various depart
ments are always beiiv renewed. The
college being a textile and ineeljanieal
one, there are ulways some equipments
to be added, and the cost of operating
a eollege such as Clemson is much
greater than the cost of an .ordinary
literary eollege. - Therefore, the $230.
71 is not the right amount to.be used
as the cost of each cadet. t .
o;The experimental station is sup
ported by the United States govern
ment. The Hatch fund provides $15,
000 annually for tho station. The
Ad&ms amendment, which passed the
last congress, provides for $5,000 ad
ditional this year, and the amount is
to bo increased by $2,000 annually urt
til the station income is $30,000.
The experimental station is not only
supoprted by the United Stotes gov
ernment, but it is operated by the gov
ernment. Tho affairs of the station
do toot connect with the affairs of
Clemson college.

of the city engineer's department, atjd I
it is understood that the raising of-]

solution, which mq?nfe the expendi

might.be used, hut it is said that the,
ongincers are opposed to this plan,
winch would not let. the water off t lio
streets'during hard rains which may
attend the spring tides, and nothing
short of raising the level of the1
streets and drains will suffice to pro

brin^lDff UGW* of vessels wrecked or
in distress, of wires prostrated ami
of damage done by the gule and sea
along the coasts ol Nova Scotia, Capo
Breton, Now Brumwiok and Prince
Edward Island. Four veasels wore
driven ashore, another, after having
everything movable on deck washed
away, was forced to yjail buck to the
l*>rt from which slid"sailed, and the
steamer Turret Hell, whieh wont
aground on the north side of Prince
Edawrd Island last week, was driven
farther in shore.
The stonu was most viownt in
Northumberland Strait. Two m-hoon
ers and one bark were aground
in this strait, and a third schooner
was wrecked near the Astern en
trance.
The Norwegian bark Adeoha. tried
to weather the gale oil' Hexton, N. B.,
but dragged her anchors and ground
ed on North 'Keel'. She sprang a
leak. The tremendous seas made it
impossible for any vessels to go to
her assistance, leaving her crew of 12
helpless in the severe cold and heavy
gale, and in danger of being swept
overboard or dying from exposure. I
Near the same plaee the schooner
Alexander, ' lumber' ladt?H-y.,,,went
ashore. /
The Windsor, N.\ S., schooner!
Omega, lost her sails /on Wednesday
last when off Charlottetown, and the
seas washed over her carried away ,
her cabins an<l deck load. She.drift-:
.-^d swiftly for 30 miles across North
umberland Strait, until she finally
brought up on therocks at Fox
Point, on the northern coast of Nova
Scotia. Her crew of four men had
been obliged to man the pumps with
practically no rest since Wednesday
and during - all that time they had
had 'neither food nor drink, all their
supplies having been swept overboard
They were rescued, almost overcome
by exhaus^on and exposure, soon
after the vessel grounded. The
schooner will probably be a total
loss.
A Newfoundland schooner, ythe
identy of which has not- beW learn

London.?Tho triennial clecLicu;;
of the London Borough Councils have
resulted In jui overwhelming victory
for tho Municipal Reformers, who in
somo of tho boroughs absolutely
wiped out tho PrCgresfllvjie.
Tho victors wore formerly known
as Moderates, and represent tho
Unionist party, tho Progressives rep
resenting tho Liberal and Labor par
ties. After several years (if a Pro
gressive regime, during which, It Is
contended, tho taxes were increased
to abnormal figures in consequence
of huge expenditures, Including
palatl&l workhouses, Turkish baths
for workmen, who did not use them,
and clubhouses and other similar
nuudclpal luxuries, the Borough
Councils ure once again great strong
holds of Toryism.
Coiaplato returns show that th?j
Reformers' won 1011 seats, the re
maining 351 being divided between
the Progressives, Laborites and In
dependents.
The provincial municipal elections
havo also resulted In a rout for iho
Liberals. Tho campaigns in the prov
inces were mostly conducted on polit
ical party lines. Incomplete results
show that the Liberals have sustained
a net lo:? of thirty-throe representa
tives and that the Conservatives havo
a net gain of llfty-nlne. The Labor
party has a net gain of nine.
In London tho Labor party candi
dates fared oven worBe than tho Pro
gress! vov, but they made small ;ralnr.
In the provinces.
Ex-Premier Balfour, speaking at
a dinner given In his honor, said the
result of the elections throughout tho
country had surprised both parties.
Ho? attributed tho result to discon
tent with the present Liberal Admin
istration.
