As we neared the government school the Indian cabins came in view, and one seen all are seen. The first cabin is the residence of an-old lndian, Mr. Pheasant, situated sev eral hundred yards from the road, a corn patch in front, without the sign of a path leading to it; built of helvii logs closely fitted aid with one room. The number of long, wide, and high footlogs spanning the creek attracts attention. By careful count there are twenty-eight of tese logs within two miles. Here we conic on a squad of Indians loll ing by the wayside, who treat us with the greatest indifference; again we meet a buck riding bareback, who tries to give us as much room as possible ; at another point in young sqjuiaw with pappoose fastened to her back makes her way in the opposite direction, with quick step and eyes fixed on the ground. They will let the traveler go by without look or . word. I have been told that khey watch strangers very closely froi some hiding place, but when met onl the highway they seei confused and to he .in a hurry to get out of tle way. The men wear citizen's dress and the women delight in garments made of the most brilliant red. A group of squaws arrayed in red filing along the road, with their babies and bundles strapped to their backs, is picturesque. h'l'e govermnent makles every ef fort, to keep out of the reservation settlers, both whites and negroes, amid the laws of the State forbid inter r marriage, yet there are many half breeds, and it wias my observation that the cross between the white man and redmian makes at handsom mtan and a beautiful woman, but they are sitd to be of a more evil disposition thian either race. The Indian has no fondness for town life and hence the centers of popula tion are few and hardly worthy of the name of village. Wolf Town, Bird Town, Big Cove aid Yellonv Hill are the principal places and it is at the latter that a governmeni t school has been established first under the Friends, but for the past three years the government has hal entire control. It is at most beamuti. ful situation ; the Ocona Lufta river, wide aid clear, curves in full vien of the buildings, reflecting like it great mirror every object near it waters.

These Indians seldom go through the forni of marriage and they are iot failhfu i as iman and wife. They are seldom secti in the criminal courts, yet they will get drunk at tines and niurder each other. They are fond of whiskey aind drink it whenever they can get it.

The following Is an interview with Col. It. W. Simpson, president of the board of trusteos of Clemson College, in refrenco to an articlo printed last week about the troLibles at, Ciowson. This interview Is taket, from the Peo ple's Advocate of Andarson : "1 would like to interview you in re gard to the article concerning C:emintn Collego which appeared in The State of the l15ti inst. )o you care to say anything on the subject?" " I am willing at all times to give to the public any information concerning Clemson College that I am possessed of. The ineetings of the board are never secret. From the very beginning the board of trustees addressed itself twin cipally to erect at Flort H ill such a plant for the College as would best sceurc the results aimed at. Th'ie first oI these results was to reduce the cost of edu cation and place it in the reach of ev cry boy in the State, if possible. Our work in this resipect speaks for itself : Board, room and furniture, washing, lights and beating V6 por month, $(iO : two uniforms, $22; washing, $5: hos pital fee, $5. Total, $92.00. - What can you say as to the bar mony existing in the faculty '? " When the College was orgaiz.-d the management of the College was placed in the hands of the president and faculty. Now, it was not expect, d that perfect system and order in tite management and ci-ordination of the various departments of the Collego could bo attained at once or without some friction. This the board expect ed-because such has been the unilorm experience of all other agricultural and mechanical colleges. There has been, however, far less friction at Clem son than we expected, and the hoard is now wet king to hlarmonize anid co-ord i nate the variouas bra'inchies taught in the College, and to accomplish this no trouble is anticiplatedl." "Whatt are the relations existing be tweeni P residlent Craighead and the board of trustees, and between h iml antd the students *9" "The relations between President Craighead and the board arc entiriely satisfactor'y.
