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

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

BANK DEFAULTER APPEARS.

Since He Disappeared.
Anderson, S. C., Dec. 20.?J.
Townes Holeman. former cashier of
a local bank, who disappeared seven
years ago after a shortage of approximately
$35,000 had been discovered
at the bank, unexpectedly appeared
here today, it was arranged for him
to appear in county court today to
answer charges of being responsible
for the shortage. It is understood
relatives and friends have paid about
the amount due. Holleman stated

Negroes Freeze at Work in X. J.
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.

When a Bamberg citizen comes to

do not command your confidence.
Home endorsement is the kind that
backs Doan's Kidney Pills. Such
testimony is convincing. Investigation
proves it true. Below is a statement
of a Bamberg resident. No
stronger proof of merit can be had.

no doubt responsible for the trouble
