BOYS DENIED STATE AI1>. Accept Recommendation of Charities Board Against Free Tuition. Columbia, Dec. 20.?At the annual meeting of the board of trustees of Clemson College here today, free tuition was denied 1"?6 students making application for State aid. Recommendation for such action came from the State Board of Charities and Correction, to which the matter of free tuition at State institutions was referred at the last session of the State legislature. The board ordered the establishment of a boll weevil laboratory in tho hnrrW rmintips of the State. Work in this field is to begin at once and the services of two entomologists will be engaged. "-w More stringent action was also ordered to attempt to eradicate all forms of hazing at the school. The board adopted a resolution requiring that all applicants and their parents shall sign, before the students are admitted, statements that they will after admission refrain from all forms of hazing. The students further agree to voluntarily withdraw frnm C!l?imsnr> whpn th? nlptfe'A has been violated. President Riggs was directed to make application for Clemson's admission to the Reserve Officers' Training Corps. Students electing this advanced training course would have extra military duties only in the junior and senior years, and each would draw a subsistence fee of $9 monthly and one complete uniform outfit. Beginning the third quarter of the school year, February 3, all students will pay $9 a month for board instead of $8 as previously. The resignation of J. N. Harper, for eleven years director of the experiment station and dean of the department of agriculture, was accepted with sincere regret by the board. The board declined an offer from the Seaboard Air Line railway to > accept a site near McBee for the esinL -rvi /vP 4- V* r\ Oort/) T-X ill Pvnoi*i_ tauiioiiuicui kjl Liic: oauu ixiii i* ment Station. On? reason was for lack of sufficient funds to develop this property, and another was that bids from all sources must be sought by advertising. A bequest of $1,000 was received ' from Mrs. Mary Cherry Doyle to create the George Cherry Foundation. This is to become a permanent loan fund for worthy students from the Old Piedmont district in Oconee and ^Anderson counties. C. F. Sheffield was selected as an additonal assistv ant in the department of fertilizer analysis. South Carolina Healthy State. Columbia, Dec. 20.?The report of the bureau of vital statistics for 1916 ? is very gratifying, says a statement from the state board of health. "It shows that the death rate in South Carolina for white people is only about 12,000, whereas that for negroes is about 17,500. The fact that tne united states government nas accepted the bureau of vital statistics of South Carolina, and admitted this State into the registration area, is of inestimable value to this State, for the claim that South Carolina, and especially the lower portion of the State, is extremely unhealthy, 1 with a high death rate, has prevented people from living there, and has made the yper part of the State the . most populous part of South Carolina. This, of course, has depreciated the price of land in the lower part of the State. "Now we are able to :1V prove by the United States government reports," says the board, "that V. *** this bugabear of ill health and death has been removed from the lower " counties. This makes the reporting of deaths trebly repay any money expended for the collection of such reports. This argument should appeal to the taxpayer, and make him willing to bear the small additional burden placed upon him by the colecting of vital statistics. The report for 1916 shows, .as we have said, that the death rate for the entire State for white people is less than 12,000, whereas the average for the entire United States in the registration area is thirteen and five-tehths per thousand." He Wak on the Job. The undertaker arose and said to i the members assembled: "If any one present wishes to say a few words of tribute to the de^ ceased, now is the time when the family will be glad to hear such." A stillness prevailed, and after a few words of tribute to the deceased, by a young man, who arose and asked: "Do I understand that no one wishes to make any remarks?" "It would appear so," replied the undertaker. "Then," asked the young m&n as a light came into his eye, "may I be permitted to make a few remarks about Southern California and its wonderful climate?"?Ladies' Home Journal.

Thomasville, Ga., Dec. 16.?Turner Wimberly, a negro from Mitchell county, who went North with a party of others from this section a short time ago, is writing back to his ~ -? > ?i 1? ratner, urawiora ?nuuen.v, ueggius him to send him money to get back home on. He says it is terribly cold up there, and the negroes are working in water halfway up to their waists, and with ice an inch thick. Many, he says, are dying every day, and he confirms the statement of a negro from Thomasville that many of them are burned after death, instead of being buried, as there is no negro cemetery there. He says board is very high, and wages much less than they were represented to be. This negro is in Newark, N. J., but will be in South Georgia again as soon as he can get there. He says some of the negroes have started out to walk back home, as they had no money to pay their way. A Toast.
