Columbia, April 29 —llie tempera ture averaged slightly above normal over the western and central portions and slightly below alorg the coast, during the we* k ending Monday morning, April 2S:h, with a mean for the week uf sixty-six degrees, a maxi mum of ninety-one at Blackville, and a minimum of forty at Santuc and Conway. The sunshine averaged nor mal or above, and the winds were generklly light until near the close, ‘DEAR OLD GAFFNEY.” SOME DO JUTS. Don’t make it a habit to borrow your neighbor’s paper. I he paper is too cheap to do that. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Don’t make it a habit to lend your paper. You might want it some time when it’s away from home. Don’t ask us to credit you. We don’t want to hurt your feelings by refusing. Lafar Lipscomb and Vernon Baker, of this city, two members of the soph omore class that left Olemson College because of what they thought unjust treatment to a member of their class, returned to their homes in the city Tuesday evening and reported their action to their parents, and their par ents approved what they had done. Every one is aware of the impor tance of discipline in colleges and that the college rules should be based on such high and equitable grounds and iheir enforcement placed in the hands of such high and equitable men that they could not be used for any purpose other than the advancement of the interest of the college, and the advancement and elevation of the student. These .conditions ma-y prevail at Clemson, and we would not say that they do not. But if they do they seem not to have impressed the student body that way, and there are many who have for some time thought that the faculty and general management there could be ma terially improved; nor, by discharg ing the whole faculty, but by giving it a careful calling. It seems that the faculty and Col. Simpson are disposed to treat the ac tion of the sophomores rather lightly ; that no meeting of the trustees will be called to consider their action and tbeir grievances. That may be a light way of brushing over the mat ter but it is not right. The trustees should be called together at once, the whole matter should be thoroughly and impartially sifted and the blame placed where it belongs.

Hail fell on the 19rh and 2.') h, hut the damage was slight on bo?h dates. Heavy rains on the 19th washed lands somewhat. The weather conditions were ex tremely favorable for farm work and generally so for the germination of seed and the growth of vegetation, except that complaint is made of the nights having been too cool along the coast for truck. In the upper Savan nah valley and at a few other points, clayey soils are drying too fast, caus ing them to crust. The need of rain is indicated in the lower Savannah valley, the east, central and north eastern counties, practically over the entire “low country.” Drought con ditions have existed along portions of the coast since last 20th of March. Corn planting is nearly finished over the eastern and central counties, and is well advanced westward except in the northern border counties, where but little has been planted. Early corn is up to fair stands and has received its first plowing in the eastern counties; is up to from fair to good stands in the central counties. Defective seed, cut worms and birds have caused much replanting to be done, but not as much as last year. Cotton planting is nearly finished over the eastern half of the State, where some is up and a little has been chopped to good stands. Over the remainder, planting is being rushed to competition under very fav orable soil conditions. Cotton seed is scarce in places. Much tobacco has been trans planted and good stands secured, i’lants continue plentiful. The acre age devoted to tobacco will be larger than ever before Wheat shows greet improvement in color and growth. It is in “boot” and is heading in places. Oats have made marked improve ment, and in must localities are very promising, but. need rain in the Pee Dee counties. Some oats are heading Cardens have improved Sweet pota toes for planting are scarce. Straw berries plentiful and being marketed in largo quantities. Heavy truck shipmeuts made. Pasturage excel lent. All minor crops doing well. Fruits very promising in most locali ties. The beautiful spell of weather has enabled farmers to push tbeir work until they are fully up with it. The time of year has come for planting to be done and they are putting the seed in the ground in a hurry, and we are glad to know that much of it is being put in good order. Fine Drove Item*. (Correspondence of The Ledger-) Pine Grove, April 2(5 —Please allow me space in your good paper to give a few dots from this side. Our farmers are moving on with their farms now. Most of them are through planting cotton seed, and are now preparing their bottom lands. Wheat is looking very well and oats have come out considerably. Mrs. R. A. Westbrook and Mrs. X. C. Cooper visited Mrs. W. H. Carroll yesterday Mr. R P. Randall killed a hog yes terday. It seems rather warm to be killing hogs, but be will certainly save it. There will be a singing at Mr X C.

A OalTney Ludy Visiting in Texas Thinks Tlifre’s No Place Like Home. Agnes, Texas, April 21. Mu. E. H. DeCamp, Gaifney, S. C. Dear Sir:—Tuesday’s Ledger just received, and must say that in all tite time we have been tokitig y>ur paper | it never was as welcome as today, j We scanned every line with eager in- : terest. Well, we had a very pleasant jour ney and didn’t have to lie over on the way, just stepped out of one train on to another. We arrived at Dallas about seven a. no. Sunday, and the streets were so crowded that ic was almost impossibU to stir. We had almost to wade through ! water to get from one depot to an- ; other on account of four disastrous fires that occurred on the night be fore. Mr. I. G. Sarratt was the life | of our party; be had only one thing i to regret on his journey, and that was ! because he did not have “Ginger” (hi.? i little dog) along to eat the chicken bones We like Texas very much; the, lands are fine, corn is knee high and ' cotton beautiful. “D. P.” is just j carried away with this country and if we don’t soon get him on the road for home I fear he will succumb to the Texas fever” and want to remain ; but not so with me. Gaffney, with all its faults I love it still. vVe ob ject to the water more than anything else. The wind storms are very se vere here and the sand storms are not the nicest things we could meet “D. P.” and myself are tanned until we look like molasses cake. We leave Agnes this evening for Hillsboro, and will remain thereuntil the latter part of next we. k, when we will leave lor dear old South Carolina, the dearest place yet to the writer. D. P. sends regards to all the boys. Very respectfully, Mrs I) P. Sides Y&iM Can LeasiaHorse to water but you can’t make him drink. You can’t make him eat either.

Trough, April 29.—Please allow me to respond to the Corinth corres pondent of April 22. In his article he recommends Mr. W..D. Kirby for the legislature because Mr. Kirby be lieves the taxes which the colored people pay should go to support the colored schools, and the taxes the white neople pay to support the white schools. That sounds all right, and is noth ing more than equity, but the clause that we want to call “Billy’s” atten tion to is where he says “that he thinks that the colored schools are getting as much or more money than the white schools.” Before Cherokee county was formed there were loO white schools and seventy-five colored schools in Spartanburg county. Sup pose that proportion existed in Cher okee county, could he suppose that, the seventy-five were getting as much as the L>0? And another thurg I would like for the Corinth corres pondent to consider, the co'ortd ‘e* hers are paid about $20 00 a month and the white teachers are paid atnut $150.00. Please compare these accounts and you will find a great dill snee. \V. G Patterson. A man’s "od deeds are limited, but there is no t.jd to the mischief he can accomplish. Dangerous if Neglected.
