THE STATE COLLEGES AGAIN. In a previous article, we have shown, we think, that the State is needlessly squandering large amounts of the people’s money on Clemson College. We propose now to see how the account stands with Winthrop. The State has appropri ated for the establishment and equipment of Winthrop up to this time, .$150,(XH) in cash, and the labor of 8mo convicts for three years, at $5 50 each per month, amounting to $59 400, making in all $209,400 the cost to the State of putting the College into operation. In addition to this amount Kock Hill contributed first and last $05,575, besides 31] acres of land for the location of the college. We know not the money value of this land, but? we may safely say that Winthrop started on a capi tal of over $280,000. This is cer tainly a magniticient equipment for a pensioner of the State’s bounty. On any legitimate principle of business, we should expect such an amount of capital to be at least self-sustaining. Hut the State last year gave this college for current expenses $30,3U0. It also drew $3,000 from the Teabody fund, and $1,000 from rent of the farm attached. It’s annual income then from gratuitous and extraneous sources amounts to $40,000. lie- sides this, it is required by law to charge tuition fees of $10.00 each, of all students except indigent onea and those to whom the State has given scholarships. How far the meaning of this word indigent is stretched and abused in its application we have no means of knowing. On g-nerul principles we am bound to believe that the number of pupils to whom the word would strictly ap ply, is exceedingly small, and on looking over the classes of men repre sented there, our impression is fully confirmed. There were 129 farmers represented in the school last year, and the rest of the 451 pupils en rolled represented classes of men among whom we do not expect to find indigence, nor anything akin to it. For the sake of argument, we will say that one-half of the farmers r presented there are really unable to pay tuition, and that one-half of the scholarships given by the State have been secured by them. Then there would be about 3u0 pupils in Winthrop who are required by law to pay a tuition fee of $10.00, and the income from this source would be $12,000. In addition to this, all are required to pay matriculation fees of $5.00 each, and medical fees of the same amount. These two items tt nount to $4,510. The catalogue does not give us the number of pupils who take music, art, elocution or other extras, for which the tuitiou is $40.00. It would he unusual if as many as one- half of the whole number of pupils are not taking some of these extras. To be conservative, however, weTl estimate 200, at $10.00. This will give $8,000 more. Adding these amounts to those given above, we estimate the net annual income of Winthrop to be $01,810. An average tuition paid for every girl in the col lege lust year was $143.70, at least three times the amount charged in the best private and denomination al colleges. There are connected with the col lege 38 so called officers and teach ers, but nine of these are connected with the domestic and other depart ments that are supposed to be self- sustaining, and many others occupy places that are little more than sine cures. The income of the college is sufficient to pay 30 bona-fide teach ets over $2,000 apiece, and yet we have good reason to believe that the salaries as they are fixed by the board of trustees, will not average more than $£00. Indeed we have it from good authority that the Presi dent’s salary is only $1,500,—a very modest salary for a man of his ability and responsibilities. The questiou then recurs, what goes with the money? Why must the Legislature continue to appro- ! priate $30,000 annually to a college which alrc a ly has an income of about $85,000 and the most costly college plant in the state, all representing an endowment of over $700,000 or nearly three quarties of a million of dollars. We do not believe that there is another female college in | America that has such an endowment. Is this a time for a tax-ridden peo ple to indulge in such costly folly? Is it a time for them literally to hire 124 girls in the state to go to \\ in- throp and to pay them $44 apiece in cash for going? If H’inthrop cannot live and flourish and do all that such a school is capable of doing with her costly outfit given to her and an income of $35,000 already secured, then she does not deserve to live at all. Neither Henry George, nor Bellamy, nor Debs, nor any other socialistic agitator, ever demanded more than the State is now doing for a few of its citizens, and those few as able to do for themselves as the many who are not favored. A REVERIE. There are many things occuring in these days upon which the old Con federate can only ruminate in silence. He has fallen upon strange times, and but for the over-whelming evi dence of his senses, he would doubt his own existence, or believe that he was just awaking from a dream less slumber that came on him at Manassas, or Chancellorsville, or Gettysburg, and that he was gazing with half-open eyes upon the scehes of another world. The red battle flag that he bore so often to victory, long ago went down in gloom, and the flag that he fought now floats over the land, loved and honored by all. Southern officers who owe their fame in a large measure to his de votion and heroism, are now winning new laurels at the head of Northern troops. His idea of a camp of sol diers whether of friend or foe, is that it means any tiling but a convenience and a profit to the town or country about it, and yet he sees the towns of our state exerting themselves with the department at Washington for the privilege of having military camps established in their midst, and after wards hears Columbia, Greenville, and Spartanburg boasting that each has secured the favor of having one brigade to pitch a permanent camp near its limits. He wonders how any one can be pleased at the pros pect of a nuisance and a terror. In his day he was used to camping any where, in the marsh or on the mountain top. in the woods or on the open field, on the hillside or in the deep ravine, by the running stream or the stagnant pond, and of staying there until occasion arose for him to measure strength and courage with his foes. Ho becomes somewhat confured then, when he hears ail the talk about the location of camps, about the work of investi gating committees in trying to find out why men died in the camps, about government agents traversing the continent in order to find suita ble places for camps. He feels that it is all foolishness, but the tide of public sentiment sets so heavily against him that he is afraid to say i. Then when he hears people talking of the great war witli Spain for which an army of over 200,000 men was en listed, and read in reports after the war is over that some two hundred men were killed in buttle or died of wounds, his astonishment, wonder and confusion reach the climax. Surely it is all a big national joke, or else he has slept like Rip Van Winkle and waked up in a strange land and in a new age. He is not at all blood-thirsty, but he can hardly conceal his contempt for a war in which only two hundred men fell in battle, for that seems to him a little skirmish on the picket lines. It would be rude to disturb his reveries. Let him have his own way and think his own thoughts. The world in which he lives and moves to-day is a world of dreams and shadowy recollections.

The Journal and Review is not showing its usual progressiveness in the above paragraph. South Carolina already has a carpet mill in operation. Its product is as good as the best and it is located at the capital of the most progressive young county in the State. Keep up with what is going on in Cherokee and Gaffney, Brother Ligon, if you want to keep pace with the progress of the State. THE LATE WAR. The phrase, ‘‘the late war,” will now cease to apply to a war that closed over thirty years ago. It has been right difficult heretofore for the whole country to agree upon a name for that war, and “the late war” has answered a convenient purpose. But now, just as that designation has be come exceedingly “late” itself, and we are casting about for a name for the greatest war of modern times, the Grand Army Posts, come forward and propose to abandon the name of “War of the Rebellion,” and say “War between the States.” This is the name given to it by Alex Stephens, and history must adopt it, in the future. ENTRIES FROM OUR DAY BOOK. The peace commissioners from Spain and the United States are hold ing daily sessions of three hours each in Paris. They have not reached the Philippine question yet. That ques- tio.i is expected to give trouble. It is possible that negotiation will have to be backed up with a little more fighting, before it is finally settled. General Fitziicgh Lee's corps has been ordered to Cuba, and will em bark at Savannah. The Second South Carolina Regiment belongs to this corps, and is to bo the second regiment to embark. While our First Regiment is being mustered out, the Second is in for service on a foreign field. The first has become last and the last first. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Small-i’ox is again raising its frightful mien. Several cases are reported in Sumter, and the towns that have secured the camps for troops are now in deep concern lest the disease may spread and frighten away the troops. Tiiere is always something to keep both individuals and communities from being perfectly happy. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The war is over, but the war tax goes on. The result is that millions of dollars are piling up in the treas ury at Washington, every dollar of which is withdrawn from circulation and thereby increases the tightness of the times. Congress ought to be called together in extra session to abolish so much of this tux as may not be actually needed. Now that the prohibitionists have carried Canada, the whiskey papers are trying desperately to explain it all away. There was a small vote general apathy, utter disgust, and u few cranks had it all their own way. A likely story indeed. Who ever be fore heard of indifference or apathy among the advocates of whiskey, pending an election in which their interest was involved? Now a little batch of Indians out on the western borders of Minnesota, have concluded to tackle Uncle Sam. They attachsed a detachment of United States troops under Gen. Ba con on Bear’s Island, and killed several officers and men. Reinforce ments have been hurried to the res cue, and the Indians will pay dear ly for their rashness and folly. Their pluck is all right, but their judg ment is rather below par. ♦ ♦ It is a matter of pride that the splendid old Confederate, Gen. Wheeler, had no complaints to make to the investigating committee and nothing but words of commendation both for the men who did the manag ing and the soldiers who did the fight ing. It is a matter of additional pride that none of the complaints which have called for the appoint ment of the investigating committee, have come from the South. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ They are catching possums clown in the county town of Saluda, two line ones having been caught in one night on Jefferson street, and duly reported by the Saluda Argus; and in the town of Lexington, according to the Dispatch, a mink has bee t having pretty much his own way regardless of all town authority. We advise the towns to have their charters so amended as to confer on them the power to protect them selves against such marauders. They are not conducive to peace and prosperity, and they play havoc with the dignity of the town. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The Greenville News has but re cently heard of the Wild Man of Cherokee, and seems to think that he has run wild on account of the Spanish war. The News is just about thirty-five years behind the age, where it will remain unless it takes to reading the Gaffney Ledger. Our valued occasional contributor, E. A. T., of Blacksburg, over six months ago, gave The Ledger readers an in teresting sketch of the wild man, Starnes’ life habits, and parentage, with an excellent cut of the man, taken from a photograph secured by an enterprising artist. Mu. N. G. Gonzales, Editor of the State, is giving his readers a series of vivid pen pictures of his ex perience in Cuba, during several month’s service in the Cuban armies. Mr. Gonzales’ notes were written on the field, when he was in immediate contact with the scenes which he describes, and are now being trans ferred to the columns of the State with little alterations or additions. Hence they possass a directness, a freshness, and a power that no general history can present. If they shall be extensive enough, we hope the author will find it to his interest to embody them in book form. The dispensary at Tirzah has been closed by order of the board of con trol. This was the only dispensary in York county, and the county is now to all appearances as dry as the most ardent prohibitionist could de sire. We note, however, that an effort will be made to establish an other one at a place more eligible to the many who thirst and long for the chemically pure. Of course there wlil be. It would be a reflection on the material kindness of the state if she made no effort to hunt up her thirsty sons and invite them to drench their parched throats in the damnable tide of woe. It is a pity that Lieut. Colonel James Tillman of the First Regiment cannot be mustered out of service or sent out to Leech Lake to try his fortunes with the Red Skins. His thirst for human gore seems to be so unquenchable and his craving for power so insatiable that he becomes a disturbing factor in times of peace. His latest performance was to have three negro boys unmercifully beaten in his camp at Columbia, for which some of his subordinate ollicers have preferred charges against him. There has been a preliminary trial in a magistrate’s court, and it is said that the case will further come before a court martial. The Governor of Mississippi got the yellow fever scare on fiim and was not long in also getting a move on him. He hastily abandoned his office and made for the woods, and is now said to be beyond the reach of railroad, telegraph, telephone, and all other swift modes] of communica tion. We hope that the Governor’s precious health will not suffer from exposure in the woods, and that he may soon find it not imprudent to show himself again to his admiring people. It would be too had if a Mississippi bear or cougar should find his hiding place and conclude to make a meal of him. And yet we hardly know any better use that could be made of his carcass just now. A Close Race For Local Narrowness. p'oluinlitii Stated “God help the poor soldiers!” ex claims the News and Courier in its headlines, “Living in tents in winter in upper Georgia and upper South Caroliua, with one stove to three tents.” This is rather ungracious, especially as “upper South Carolina” lias been most kindly in its thoughts and words regarding Charleston in the matter of the embarkation offtroops. Time was when the News and Courier was as broad as its State. Now it is running a close race with the Green ville News for local narrowness. $ioo Reward, $ioo.

A Few Miles Each Year is Proper. [GreenviUo News.] The discussion of the roads ques tion is being revived, as is usual this time of the year. Everybody agrees on the value of the intensive system of farming. We will never have good roads until we adopt the intensive system of road making. The man who scatters his force over more land than he can work properly comes to grief. So long as we dabble with great stretches of road we will con tinue to throw our money and labor into mudholes year after year. A few miles of solid, well built roek road, made to stay, completed each year would soon solve the problem. N erves must be fed on pure, rich blood. Hood’s Sarsaparilla is the best nerve tonic.
