CCHREEL COM INN BACK HOMK good many years ago when the eilltor ?> this paper was in his irlsky adolescence, und fell about so years younger than at present. It was his privilege to sit for instruction in tin class room or William Spencer Cur ren, recently elected president of the University of South Carolina. Davidson College had alawys had strong men on its faculty. It looked for the strongest men in Hint denomi nation whieh always hus been in the front rank In broad, deep, conserva tive and through mental training. Hut ut no time In the history of the Col lego bud there been u stronger facul ty?men of euch learning, such brll llance and of such force. These men were specialists, each In Iiis own de partment, and yet all wore capable of interchanging departments and be coming at once specialists again. And the departments nuik/d ut the very top, among Southern colleges. Among those Btrong teachers was Henry Louis Smith/ who since has become president of Washington and Loo . University and la making. It to rival the great universities of the South. Two others, recognized among the master minds of the South worn Wm. I>. Vlnson. the wonderful blind teach er of mat hematics; and Col. W. J. Margin, who was acknowledged to be the greatest teacher of .chemistry In the South. Men wore these. Their duty to the collego consisted not in delivering a few lectures, but they were deeply concerned about the the- spiritual and religious.* develop ment of their pupils as well as their mental progress. Among such men as these was Wil ? Ham Spencer Currell, teacher or English. Perhnps this writer was drawn to him becauee we bad the eanie home town, Yorkville, but the edrforr of thie paper wishes to be ex cused for making personal* referenco upon the ground that it is such a privilege, such a pleasure to give ex pression to our love, our admiration, our respect for this splendid charac ter, this superb teacher, this lovely Christian gentleman. The years have passed, with sad ness we that they have not been fow; bui h's flushing eye, twinkling one moment, in merriment, aglow the next with the ardor a loVjpr?for he loved the beauties of the English lit erature which ho taught?bis graceful gestures, his volco so full of enthusi asm over hie class work?we can see and hear him now us-he was 20 years ago in the class room. To bo sure liternture and the solid administrative part of collego work \ are quite different, but knowing his I energy, his integrity, his big soul and his common ? ? , wo believe W. S. Currell will be a great success as I head of the South Carolina University, j Ho has' come back home to South Carolina. _ And Soutli Carolina surely needs him. The university of this State at no period in its history needed the strong hund, the clear head, the lov ing heart of a big man us much as it does today. The agencies of vice in Columbia ??- greater than ever. Lawlessness flaunts its leering face in all public places, and the university plan of letting every student do just about as he pieuses makes the state university need at Its head a man of soul and courage und example. ?CREMT TO WHOM," ETC, Our attention has been called to a "typographical error" appearing in an editorial In this paper yesterday.

We ure Inclined to think that Mr. Pollock is playing a much deeper game than persons hail thought for. lie has been directing his (ire againstI Governor Illesse until the report has) gone up from all sidos that the gover nor has lost ground. And now Mr. Pollock has begun on Senator Smith. ills attack on Governor titease was incisive and searching, but we con sider that lie was even harder on Senator Smith In his speech here for he passed the senator up with a mere wave of bis band and wl>h the de claration that Senator Smith "had no record to attack." Now wasn't that worse than "cussing" him out? Mr. Pollock and Mr. Jennings are not ubuslng their opponents, merely attempting to "show ui" their records. Ventilating good recorde does no harm. If the records are vulnerable the people will bo doi. a service to know lt. Hut. right upon the heels of Mr. I Pollock's and Mr. Jenn.ng's visit to Anderson comes the news nom Wash ington that Senator Smith's bill to | regulate the operations of coltoti speculators had become a law, or at least had been reported by the con ference committee, which is the eame as becoming a law. Perhaps Mr. Smith has done noth ing In the senate, we haven't had time to look up the record, but that one thing is an achievement for a South ern senator. Just think of what a power the New York Cotton Exchango has-been! if-bis never laid-its hand upon the men who have shoved the price of cotton down, but actually hus caused the United States government to a?cuse, arrest, prosecute, convict and sentence J. A. Potter for enter- ? ing into a conspiracy with Hayne, llrown and Sully to raise the price of | cotton. When Wall Street ' Is as powerful as It has there shown itself to be, Is! it not some wonder that a "cottou ' field" -senator from South Carolina cun come along and get through con gress a bill to pull the claws of the cat of finance that has been gambling with our cotton production? Why has Senator Smith* United five years to do this? Becuuse, until Woodrow Wilson came to be the presi dent, there was absolutely no chanco to get such a bill enacted Into laws. Senator Smith, we are informed, has ! been persistently and earnestly at work on thie matter, but the great New York cotton exchange Is some thing that cannot be whipped in a day. and has- not up to this time been dealt a stunning blow. If Senator Smith has accomplished nothing else, ho hns done that, and that Is man's size undertaking. Wo do not pretend to say whether or not It Is enough upon which to base his claims for reelection, but It Is something to think about. Mr. Lever, the able and tireless chairman of the house committee on agriculture has been there twice as long as Senator Smith and has not accomplished so very much more?and yet he 1b recog nized over all the country as the bigi little man of congres?. The farm surr.iurided bv bad roads j might as well be on an Island. Every farmer should learn that by using the split log drng ho increases the value of his property. You can't "send word" any more. You must see your club secretary and get your name on the club rolls. Days of lazy domocracy are over. Mr. Pollock muet have looked for un explosion when he at tacked the safe blower pardon matter.
