Rut after he became Governor he learn ed the excellence and elHolcnoy of the Academy as a part of the State’s ed ucational system and grew to be Its frhndand advocate. 'fhe same change of heart would fol low If the gentlemen row making war upon It would take the trouble to ex amine Into Its merits. The members of the legislature from Kdgelleld county need not go far for, If they would visit Johnston apd see* the magnlfloent working of Henry HarUog’s splendid school, they would be convinced that an Institution that could train such an Ideal moulder of minds was one of the Htato’s brightest Jewels and should not l»e lightly thrown away. Of this one mail of so well ronndt d character, such Hoble Mptfiitoir and approved accom plishment, a benellclary oflts course, we wrlto aa was said of the great Mc- Duftle, In a time having less need of auch sons than the present, that If the Htata had never done more than to ed ucate hjm the money would have been well and profitably spent. The Citadel occupies a proper posi tion to the completemas of our Educa tional system and there can not be any necessary conflict or rivalry between it and any other Imtltutlon under the Mate’s frstoring rare. As an Agricul tural and Mechanical Cohege, pure and simple, Clemson will fullil the expec tations oflts founders; meet the re qulrements of Its patrons aud In veiy truth “flll a long felt want.” On a dlf ferent and not loss honorable plane the Citadel gives a Technical and rclentlflc e location that will lie needed until swords be beaten Into plow shares and spears Into pruning hooks. No invest ment that the State has ever made has hrougflrWr Is bringing a better return of benefit than the support she has given to this school. There la another and threatening thought to be consldeied. It may he very easy to set^an avalanche In motion hut no human power can stay Its course. Revolutions never go back ward. If the Citadel shall be deatroy^ ed now by lack of appr. aaorldoe Leap Tear art Its Privilege*. This year will be made memorable bT the occurrence of the twenty-eighth election of the President of the Hulled Mates. It has opened also with threats and dangers of war la both the New aud Old World; but It has a fuithorand n sentimental distinction which In these days, more especially, gives to it spe cial interest. The year IKW H leap yean when according to tradition,J|t Is l>ermls*lble for women to make propo sals of marriage to men. Instead of waiting, as In ordinary years, for the men to propound to them the momen tous question. How far women actually take advan tage ol Mils opportunity afforded by leap year is'not discoverable from sta tistics, nor can It be found out In any other way open to the philosopher. Are of e delicacy P Matters of that soft Are of a dellc which prevents all self-respecting men and women from relating publicly the details oftheir occurrence. We read In novel* and see upon the stage speci mens and methods of love making and marriage proposals, but they are imag inary and detitiuus The particulars of the betrothal of men and women In actual life are not disclosed for the sat isfaction of Vulgar curiosity. Hence, whether the proposal Is ever made lor- mallv by tho woman rather than the man, and, if the inversion of the usual method of procedure occurs, how often It takes place, cannot be known. A man who receives such a flattering de monstration of feminine preference and boasts of it, or otherwise violatee the sacred confidence In which such a con fession was msde, Is a wholly con temptible fellow, whose word no one would take. A letter from* young woman of L'uughkeepxie, published lu the Muu the that t«> de THX COTTON PROBLEM IN UM. Kor every cotton grower lb the Booth the advlje of the Memphis convention the other day contains a lesson of wis dom. The experience of 1891 and 189* ha* demonstrated that there Is a limit to, the world’s demand for cotton, vastly narrower than the capacity of Bouthcrn Helds to produce that staple.

Rose, Commissioner of Agri culture, cites that tho reduced acreage and short yield of 1895 resulted in prices to the farmers of * to 3 cents h pound more for their cotton than was expected when the crop was planted. He warns them that If the acreage Is generally Increased this year the price of cotton will be less than 5 cents • pound. , . , Mr. Rose I* a|n*tlvo Missourian who ha* gained his wisdom and honor In the State of his adoption. There I* not a fanner In the cotton belt but will be bettor off at the end of the year for act ing on the following counsel which be gives to the farmers of Texas: The wise course for farmers to pur sue Isto plant a sufficient crop of corn and all other kind* of crops needed for home consumption and enough for their nonproducing neighbors, and at ■o devote their *tl other day, suggests, however, that the traditional privilege enjoyed by women In leap year Is seriously regarded by some, If not many, of them for the writer must be taken as representative of feminine feeling to a greater or less extent. Four years ago she looked on leap year with amusement only, she ssya. It never occurred to her to im prove Its Te« u ll* r privilege; but now, at the grave age of tweuty-elght, she acknowledges, it no longer “seem* fun ny to her.” She Is disposed to take ad vantage of the liberty of proposing marriage which It allows her. Bhe Is willing herself to propound the mo mentous question, but she asha us for counsel as to the proper, advisable,and most probably successful method of do lug It. tMie wants to know whether she should beat around the bush or put the question directly and plumply, and if there I* nut danger that in case the man rejected her proposal he would outrage her feelings and betray sacred confidence by telling of her revelation, We are obliged to confess that there la that danger, so far as concerns many men.

Gary was elected successor to Ira 11. Jones as Speaker, over M. K JMooper of Colleton, formerly of Barnwell. The Legislature Is now well Into the fourth w^ek of the session and adjourn ment It not yet In sight. The prepara tory work of the committees Is about done aud better progress will be made. Kx-Presldeut Harrrlton has written a letter stating that he does not want another four years in the White Hou«e. Hall the other liitle fellows who have been mentioned In that connection will copy the country may yet be saved. On Saturday tho United States Senate by a vote of -12 ayes to 33 nays passed a bill ‘ To restore the coinage of silver dollars and for other purposes.” it Is surmised that President Cleve land w ill veto ft. If tho House does not kill It before it gets to him. Senator Tillman’s long looked for speech was delivered In the Senate on the 29th tilt., and created a greater sen sation than any ever heard there. It’s delivery occupied two hours and It tilled more than 15 columns in the Co lumbia Register. On the first page will be found a summary of Us most vigorous passages. The daily papers of the large cities, as far as quoted in our exchanges, are pouring as hot shot into the Senator as be Arod In opening bis Senatorial campaign. On Thursday Associate Justice Y J. Rope, of Newberry, was elected his own successor for the term of eight year* and Speaker Ira B. Jones, of Lancaster, was elected to the addition al Associate Justiceship created under the new Coustitution. The vote was 'unanimous in both cases. -"'' Justice Jones has the rare, peculiar good fortune to b? pral»ed by all parties sad factions thereof as a very able -lawyer and a thoroughly good man. He is 41 years of age aud baa been at the bar since he reached the age of 21 years, iffe was bora in Newberry, but Bioved to Lancaster In 1873 with $10 in bis pocket. He is a member of the Ao- socltt* Reformed Presbyterian Church. * •School Commissioner Ballinger, who baa been kept closely at home by the to enjoy the satisfaction of an accept ance. Long custom aud tho very na ture of man Induce In him a preference for taking the lead ou such an occasion, according to his own fallacious concep tion. He desires to appear to himself as the active love maker. He wants to r f el I**.'iMr'lngagement In which he JplWvGre aggressor. Practically he de ceives himself. Instead of winning a heart he loses a heart. The tlual pro posal does not com > from the woman, hut direction which provoked it was cultivated aud stimulated by her. Love flrst warmed Iter heart, and, with feminine art Inherited from Eve her self and broi ght to the highest, finest and most delicate perfection during the many thousMiids of years of its cultiva tion by women, she kindles a respon sive emotion in his breast. Thus It |r may be said that both In leap year and In all years women virtually make the proposal. They lead up to it. They Incite it. They arrange the vir tually students eomstances favorable for it. They smooth the way to it. They suggest U to the man, unless b* he a conceited lellow so far oonfldeut of his supposed fascinations that he Invites his deaerv- ed rejection by thrusting hi* unwelcome advance* on the woman. The mother of a girl will often assist her in this warfare on a mastullue heart, employ ing lu her behalf the most consummate strategy. This Is not at all discreditable to women. It casta upon them no inju rious reflection, it Is rather a glorious tribute to them. They are the source and foundation of the te-detest and most ennobling sentiment which con trols mankind. They give to existence a poetical color. Nor do we mean to Imply that consciously and deliberate ly they set out to provoke « proposal. They only follow instinct and obey the law of their being without studied con sideration of the methods they pursue, unless they lie veterans at the business in whom artifice has come to dominate nature- They cannot help It. They are made so. In the Held of love they are the real conquerors. Men may de lude themselves with the notion that they are the winners, but really they are the vanquished. Instead of being primary they are only secondary In that gentle quest and encounter. Wo men have^ the mastery there and not men. The captives are men and not women. The victory Is the woman’s and not the man’s. After his subjuga tion the man has the privilege of plead ing for mercy, and, thank God! he gets it from feminine grace, little as he may be deserving of it. He can only plead, but woman compels. .She is master of the situation which he imagines (scon- trolled by himself alone. Usually, when a woman picks out a man for a husband, her husband he is bound to be; and she does not need to ask him to ton, If they prefer growing cotton for market, or to the raising of pork and My experience and observation for thirty-eight years in Texas ha* been that those who produce the necessaries of Ilf# at home and have some to spare are those who never have to give a mortgage. ‘TIs true, corn Is cheap- andwhyf Because farmers have not beeves and hogs to feed It to. If they bad, Instead of 15 to 25 cent* per bushel they could get from 25 to 50 cents for their corn. , .

MOW A KIND HORSE WAD FRIGHT ENED A few days ago.,we took a drive In a town near Boston with one of the best broken and kindest horses of the town, but b* wore blinders.

We stopped him, but If, In hi# sudden lekp, anything bad bro ken there would probably have been a smash-up with serious consequences This leads us to ask. Is It not about time to abolish blinders?

In Russia, where they are never used, a shy log horse Is almost unknown. No one would think of using them on a saddle horse, and on artillery and Are engine horses they are rarely, If ever, used. We are glad to say that, as the result of our educational work, thou- aands of horses are now driven In Boo- ton without blinders, *uJ .are able to THE STATK OF SOUTH CAROLINA. BARN WILL COUNTY.
