The Old Hero Takes the Mattei Quietly and Will Return to His Home in Columbia. The Washington correspondence of the News and Courier has the follow ing statement concerning the decapi tation of General Hampton. Gen. Hampton's resignation has been in the hands of President McKible. since the advent of the present admin istration, and the change would have occurred at a much earlier period had the importunities of Gen. Longstreet and his political friends prevailed President McKinley had two objects in delaying action in this now cele brated case. When Gen. Longstreet and his friends were clamoring loudest -for Gen. Hampton's oflicial scalp, the "Grand Old Man of the Palmettc -State " was dangerously ill. The Pre sident decided that he would not accanil Gen. Ha mpton's resignation until h'c was giv en ample time to regain his health by an extended trip to thc Pacific coast. Gen. Hampton has re covered fram his late illness, and do clares that he is in robust health, and weighs over 200 pounds. The Presi dent also desired Gen. Hampton tc have an opotnt : frame and sub -mit his annual report on the business of the commissioner's ofmlc. Thai r report has been completed, and lh .ready for the printer. Although Gen. Hampton feels thai 'he has been treated with adlmirabl< consideration by the President, thc latter neglected to notify the Genera that his resignation had been acceptec before announcing the appointment o: his successor. 'rho first intimation o -Gen. Longstreet's appointment wai conveyed _to Gen. Hampton by youi correspondent. Gen. Hampton was ir his office at the general pension build r* ing, performing his official duties un conscious of his decapitation. Wher 'apprised of the President's action Gen. Hampton remarked that it was not unexp)ected in view of what hat been so often stated in the newspapers on the subject. He added that h< - tendecred his resignation as soon at 4 President McKinley was inaugurated, 0 and, therefore, ho was p)rcpared to ro. - linquish the oflice without delay. H< said he ap)preciated the efforts of et many of his former associates in th< ,Senate to have him retained, and it 1h ,gratifying to know that so much con . sideration was shown him by the ad i- ministration. Having completed hih ., annual report, Gen. Hampton is full3 I- prepared to turn over the ollice to his I- successor in excellent condition. H( .,will leave Washing in a few dlays, ac h companiod by his daughter, to attern the S tate Fair at Columbia. * Needs No Explanat lons M ADISON, N. C.

THE NEW REGIMI AT CLEMSON COLLEGE, TII IC POLICY 01F P'RISIDENT IARTZOG. "A Co-Worker With the Faculty to Carry on the Work Upon Lines Already Projected." Knowing that a great dedt of intorst Is naturally felt throughout the State as to the management and success of I the College under its new president, a correspondent of the News and Courier called on President Hartzog and asked him to outline his policy as to the con duct of the College. Mr. Hartzog gave a pleasant and interesting talk on va rious subjects of College work. - lie seens to have entered heart and soul into his work here, and -has made it good impression on his associates, who are ready to give him a helping hand for the accomplishment of the difficult task before him. One thing has been brought out clearly, and that is that the College will not suffer from any lack of energy on his part, for he has. shown unusual activity. The following remarks rep resent briefly and partially his ideas about the College: Replying to your question to outline my plans for the future, permit me to. state at the outset-that 1 have not come to Clemson College as a revolutionist. I have come as a co-worker with the faculty, to carry on the work on the lins already projected. .ai. in boarty sympathy with the spirit and purpose of Clemson. I believe that Clemson fills a long felt want. Clemson was not deFigned .as a fac tional school, to antagonize or. brjat down other colleges in South Ca olina. Clemson has a mission of her o wn. It offers a course of study" which" bannot be pursued elsewhere in the ;State. Among other studies your attention is called to pure agriculture, horticti utue, botany, voterirnary science, dai;rx ing,. woodwork, forg ind foundry work iLnd electricity. In other words, Clemson College is an.agricultural amd .mechan ical institution. . .1 English is taught because students must know'their mother tongue before they can pursue sciantific studites. The majority of students who come here need English training. Lord Brougham has said : "An edu cated man is one who knows someting. of everything and everything of some thing." Clemson College attempts to fulfill that definition. A broad founda tion is laid in English work, and upon that is built a superstructure of special work. I am thoroughly convinced that instruction given at Clemson will ben efit the whole'Commonwealth of South Carolina. ~A Klondilke of undeveloped resources in South Carolina is but awaiting the touch of expert hands. We need trained mechanics to utilize the viasted water iower of our State. Why should we lie aupinely"on our backs and send North of Mason and Dixon's line- for our skilled mechanics ? Carlyle said "Not 'arms and man,' but 'tools and the man,' is now and henceforth to be the great epic of the world." To keep a school fully abreaot, of the bcot cur r iit of modern scientific thought it is neces sary to have thorough equipments. One learns to do by doing. All the lee turing in the world, Will not teach a bo,y woodwork. Machinery is expensive. Those who think that Clemson, has re ceived too-much money should remem ber that it takes more money to run a technical school than it does a literary college. While Clemson has not all the equipments that may be desired, it will easily rank among the first, if not the first, among institutions of a similar character in the Southern States. For that reason Clemson graduates will be in demand, because they are known to have had opportunities to become ac quainted wit,h the latest fruits of scien tific research.. All industrial reforms are painfully slow, but I believe that we can see -In many sections of Sout,h Carolina :al ready a growing appreciation of scien tific andl agricultur-al subjects as a result of the instruction given at Clem son. No one wili attempt to deny the Importance of an agricultural training. It Is a gererally accep)ted axiom that agriculture is the basis of wealth. Clemson, therefore, is doing a very im portant work. It teaches boys how to farm intellIgentl-j; how to use fertil izers with best results ; how to select seeds ; how to build up) worn out 'soils : how to make farming pay. In the study of agriculture and ,me chanics a certain amo)unt of educational work is necessary, for, as we have re markedl before, one learns to do by doing. The work required of students at Clemson Is not only educational, but emphasizes the aignity of labor. Clem son graduates are not ashamed to wvork, and as a result they are going to suc ceed in the battle of life. We have too many educate. mn who spend their time in aristocratic languor or democratic laziness .) This fag end of the nineteenth century ge-' mands energetic bodies, guided and: controlled by educated brains. : I am well aware of,. the .fact thMt some criticisms have. been directed against Clemson, ini the 'past. This was to be expected. Every new col lege must go through a settling pgo0 cess. It requires time'to fix the grooves of work and to establish rules of govern ment. When we -consider- the . man'y dlifliculties that had to be eneduntor~cd from the beginning, -Clemson- College to-day stands as -a mtinuaent to ;tl scholarly thoughtfulness and b,usindls judgment of the board-bf trustees. Though it may not bear directly upon your question to "outline my .plans for the future," will you lprmit me to make a statement about thb san itary condition of the College.' Clem son is now the safest spot in South . Carolina from a sanitary point of view. t L"rom the abundance of caution the .trustees have done everything sug gested by tmed ical wisdom to prevent a recurrence of fever. Thie barracks have been painted, cleaned and fumigated. The sewer system has been improved by doubling t the numb er of closets. 'rho canal, 4 which some thought was a cause of ,sickness, has been filled. The drinking a water is repeated ly analyzed. A rigid 3 system of inspection has been organ B ized. A local board of health, consist ing of doctors, chemistsand praactal men, meet regularly to consider the health of Clemson. The health so far this season is very good. One young man cane hero sick, and Is still ill.- But the hospital records will show 'that we have had very few cases of sickness from local causes. The moral and religious tone is high. There are special reasons- why this should be so. In the. first place, the majority of boys come from religious country homes, and in the second place, there are but few temptations around Clemson to lead boys into fashionable dissipation. Some people have an idea that a -State, college is necessarily a seminary of vice, because the State is neutral in -religion. It is true that nothing should over be done or' said that will olfond in the remotest degree students at Clem' on who may not be Christians, but we are doing all we can to get the Christian boys to exert a positive influence. - The Clemson boys are wtde awake to anything concerning the interests of Clemson. The students seem to onj6y life. They have a good foot ball team, a tennis club, a monthly 'magazine. three literary societies, a glee club: In short, all the little auxiliaries that tend to make modern college life happy. The biggest work I have on hand just now is to pay infinite attention to t finite dQtails. Success depends upon doing many small things faithfully. 1 think the greatest need of Clemson is public inspection. We want the people to-visit Clemsoil. We want them to seo Clemson, so ilIt'.false impressions may be removed. I fear that we have too much negative advertising, and not enough positive adver'tising. The people.know what we do not do, but they.dort, know what we are doing. Our exbbit at the State Fair will be a revela&.lonto Man y peopl '.

A Southern Mill Man in the Yankee ' ' - "and. "Old Coins"iti Pitlinont Sun. The dity, of- Sal( m is one of the old est towns ih New England. It has some thirty thousand inhabitants, but has an air of quietness and pieacefulness about it except . in the 'vicinity of the railroad depot, that one hardly realiz.3 the business that is real ly carrjed.on -within its . limits.

Salem and Pea body are so-closely associated that un less the visitor was pointed out the particular line -of separation, te would never know when he had passed from one placu to inother. Thtse mills dd n'ot'cut any great figure in the popula tion of either city. Other classes of trade in dimensions tower above them, espec.lly the leather business. G reat tanning estiblishments covering acres and acres of land are numerous. Their extent would open the 'dyes of the aver age Southe,n n}an, tind would help him form somrtb idea of where - the material comes from to make up the vast quan tity of shoes that are made in New " England and sent all over the world. It would pay a Southet-n tm.an well in coming to this p)lace after ho had gene thtrough the mills, to spend tweetr th'ree days here, in luoking over' hist-orie lo calIties arYd places of intierest. One of thbe darkest senes -that, blackens the ana.of'the 1New World was enact,ed here. And what makes it, seetm morec hideous to our medern'sens'e of r-ight and jubtice is, the leadere't ithe d1amn ing deceds wtc tihermo'ut em ine nt min -iters. of the Gospel, of that, day, who wrOught the crinme in the name of re lgion. We refer' to the witchtcraft days. It seems that the mnakes taught by'the minister-s had come to believe that, men could.be enchanted and bewitched by other petrspnswho were in league with the devil. They thought that, the air was full of evil spliits which could be suinited'at tbe wifl of all\vomen, it seems, t'oo, one of the surest'signs that one was a witch was the l)oss(-sion of a biack-cat.- Any -m'allcious person who chancedd to fall out with some poor de' cr-epid old woman had only to trutmp up some lie about her and say they were bow1tched, in or'detr to have her thrown into jail ;. thc when the ttrial catne it Seems it was an easy matter'to make the'aiust,et-o, stern, hut supersti tious old : Purtitans- a waIlow the false hood whole, and make him eagetr L,o help'b)urn htetr at the stake or to hang her' op the gallows,tr'ee.

The prim Puritan maid with-The bib and stow apdr, and tle Pdrltan'-yeoman with his knee breches a'nd-expansive, dide, white collar, should be here. .In going through one of the .streets We came upon an old town-pumDr which we felt sur-e must have been tahe original one Which ceansed Ulawthorn to write his famous "WiI1 from a Town Pump." Not far from this spot we find a statue that impels us to stop and uncover our head in respect to the man whom it rep)resents. It Is a statue erected in hnne of Rev. Tathe,. Trhaald Mat thew, the groat Catholic apostle of- to tal abstinence from all intoxicants. The amount of good this groat man has done for the cause of total abstin once among the adherents of the Rom an Catholic faith can never be fully estimated. Ho made a crusade for tomporanco half a contury ago. Mon who simply signed the pledge. under his imtpassioned preaching have been true to it until this day. We attribute much of the great financial strength of the Catholic church in America to day to that movement. Money that formerly went into drunken sprees has been diverted from that source into the enterprises of the church. The policy of tho Catholic church we have never believed in, but lbather Matthew was a practical reformucr : he stemmed the tide of human woo and sutfcring that comes from intemperance, and kept it from engulling thousands of his faith: consequently w; say all hontor to his name, and may his glory never grow dimn. An old relic on Essex street is a hotel called the "Lafayette hlouse.", At this place Wastiington stopped when he took his journey through New Eng land in 1788, at the same time when he visited the old cotton mill at lioverly. lioro too, Lafayette stayed oi his last visit to this'country seventy odd years ago. One cold winter night, nearly thirty years ago with a party who had been out on a sloigh ride over the snow, we went into one of the spacious parlors of this ancient hostlery to see a ceen tury plant in bloom. The mammoth lily was a wonderously beautiful sigh t, and its fragra'.t u Ior was so powerful that one of the ladies of our party was overcome by it and fainted away. At the time of the sit igh ride, the snow had fallen some three feet deep. We had a boat sleig h smito thirty feet long, a beautiful barge, elegantly painted and cushioned ; thcr were six horses attached to it. P'erhaps forty persons wore in the party. Some of thei had cornets and played upon them While the coinpany sang, "Oh swift we go, oet the Ileerv snow, While the mooni beams sparkIe r-'1ttid, And the hoofs beat time to the musie bine As merrily we bound, we bounl. The crisp, bracing air, the nwerry shouts and songs as we met with other parties who were abroad like ourselves, the hot oyster supper Somewhere on the route, which was usually fifteen to twenty miles, made it a great timie.
