Boyd has been in had health since his election and he has had to leave the work of his office almost entirely to his assistant^ The si’cir~bjd man conceived* the idea that Assistant Gen. Brock was trying to alienate the people’s affections and have him* self elected adjutant and inspector general. The result was that Gen. Boyd came out with the charge that Gen. Brock was guilty of conduct un becoming an officer of the militia etc. in doing this, and also that he had waited the money 6f the State in his tour of the State making inspections A Court of Inquiry was ordered by the Governor to inquire into the charges. This Court met and inquired, and the inquiry took the cover off a nice cettle of fish in*so faf as the head of the State militia is concerned. It showed that this office is a farce and that no business methods are used in the management of the affairs of the office. That Oen. Brock did waste the money allowed for the in spections is clearly proven by his own statements, which fact would not have been possible if the electors had put a competent mandat the head of the militia. Gen. Boyd must have known that Brock was doing this long ago, and it was his duty to dis charge him and! put a stop to it. We are, therefore, led to the irresistable conclusion that if Gen. Boyd had not been offended the nice little stealage would never have been unearthed. However, it may do some *good it will possibly result in the office 0 being left to the members of the militia of the State, or the appoint ment of the Governor. It is folly to think that a popular election can put competent men in offices where pe culiar technical education is essen tial. This applies to some offices not so high up also, and the sooner they are removed from politics the better. We congratulate Cottageville on the establishment of a high school as shown by the election held there Friday. Just who that one man op posing would be interesting. “The boy (has) stood on the burn ing deck” pretty generally over the State within the last few weeks, and o from now on till crops are “laid by” he will doubtless stand on the burn ing sand of the corn amgcotton fields.- We beg to acknowledge receipt of an invitation to! be present at the fourteenth annual commencement of Clemson Agricultural Collage, to be.held June fifth to seventh at Memorial Hall. We have been trying to figure out some plan by which we could arrange that picnic for our faithful corre spondents. but wf confess that owing to the schedule on the trains, we can not work out a satisfactory plan. We would be delighted if we could get the faithful “pen pushers” together, and we shall appreciate it if any one of them can submit a feasible plan. If you can, you can count on us to be with you heart and soul. Give us your ideas. MONUMENT FUND.

These are favorable aus pices under which to start out. and It must be gratifying to them. Other auspices are not*m favorable, how ever. The revenue of ,, the town is ■not sufficient to pay the^expenses of the town government on the same basis as has beenf prevailing. So the new council are at the threshold of their adminictration confronted with a dilemna.£ It is whether or not it will attempt to increase the revenue or to decrease the expenditures. At the mass ipeeting held in the Court House some weeks ago it was the evident desire of a majority of those present to have Council so reduce expenses as to run the town within the present revenue. This, it was shown, can be done and uot cripple the efficiency of the service. What • - i the present Council is going to do about it will be watched with interest. We tried last wt'ek to get an ex pression of opinion from the mem bers as to toe policy of the new ad ministration, and with that in view a letter, enclosing a stamped and addressed envelope, was written each member of the Council, and only one reply was received. We would still be glad to publish an swers to these inquiries now that the ‘election” is over. We conceive that this is a ci the government of the town, and we trust the new Council will be able to meet it with wisdom and conserva tism. We can assure them that their erarse will be watched with interest. And we wish you well, gentlemen df Council.

Spring, the lovliest season of the year, is with us again, rejoicing our hearts with its rich gifts of flowers and song birds, frofn whose throats warble forth melodies which cheer the weary ones of,earth as they press forward day after dav to their ac customed routine of duties. How they remind me of my childhood day's,’ when with light heart and lighter step I used to roam over fields and pastures, chasing butter flies or gathering wild flowers! It is their influence over me this morn ing. as I pause to rest a moment and inhale the fresh atmosphere, that has suggested these thoughts and set me thinking afresh of Him. who is the giver of all blessings, recall^ ing the words of that old familliar hymn: “Though every prospect pleases Yet only man is vile.” Ought not they to teach us a U s- son of thankfulness and obedience? And does not it seem with so many manifestations around us of His love and divine guidance, that in return we should strive to serve Him bet ter and reach, at least, a degree of such perfection as His life exempli fied? It is not impossible, for re member the old Scotch Proverb, “Aim at a golden garment, and you may get a sleeve of it.” Ia‘1 us try making good resolutions every New Year, and though we may not live up to them all. the very effort we make will help u*. and if persisted in year after year cannot fail to bring good results. This lovely, season is so full — .of suggest ions and so typical of the j ftfe beyond - the true life, Mrs. F. Y. L. Adams Run, May 21. CLEMSON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE EXAMINATIONS.
