It ls sont out free of 'j arge. DO WI NKED IT? vVbother Wt have a preliminary -canvass or not, ono issue at least, for years to come, and until it is .decided hy voters of the .State, will meet them at every primary elec tion. That issue is the question of o separate and distinct agricultural .ollege. Last week we gave a three column nrtlele from Captain Till man, in favor of this separate col lege, with ut vom mont. This, like M H other questions which involve : ? expenditure of the people's money, should be calmly and intel i;.; Milly viewed by the people be fore action is taken. It appears to THE ADVERTISER that the question involves no great principle, hut is moro a matter ol expediency. It is but Just and proper to have a separ?te and dis tinct Aerricultutal College If the people of the .state are willing to bear tho burden. It will, at a rea sonable estimate, cost $800,000 to build the college, and not less than *;10,000 per annum afterwards. Is f! college worth the price to those A rio pay the tax ? This after all is Hie question to be decided. Of all he colleges in the United States, ihat of Mississippi is sought out by the friends of the measure as the model. If all that ls auld of the Mississippi College be true, it Is un doubtedly a good institution. But . e have scores of other separate bf) 1 distinct Agricultural Colleges ?in this country wjthh are ss '.mr-! -en of pifteUeM results as a college which mnkoKtio pr?tention towards an agricul'ural education. Why do theae institutions not copy from ho great model set up for this .State o follow? Witt nre they not ns j good as tho Mississippi College, or what assurance have we thut when ' established ours will not belike the hundred barren schools and not like the one which is found to bear ' fruit? To take the history of manual la bor schools from i he earliest date fo the present time, we And that ? (hose wblob have been deserving' of praise hove fieri ved soeces* from \ thc mnn who directed Ra cour,o- j the president. Wo fltjd that In mon ly every instance, when the j ...?'sident of a flourishing manual j - ?mr has resigned or died, the usc .1 Incas of thu school waa gone. ?ol having a ?'ephen I). Leo in .>igbt to take chargr?, we think this rollete wv ni ld be a costly ojtj?rl . . nt, which, from present irtjgjea* \\ v\\\*\ h?

While we say this, we do no* in tho least undervalue tho Impor j tance of a thorough training for j farmers. It is well for them to study agricultural chemistry to be able to analyze thc soil and the like; but wo havo in this State a tax to support two colleges, ono of which gives a thorough agricultural education to nil who may dedra it. Wo do not believe the peop'e of South Carolina will sanction a measure which will impose Still an tax for still another college. Tho part of wisdom is, if the State has surplus fund? to invest in educa tion, Improve the schools we have Instead of building other Collegee*, which the poorer classes cannot reach. Let tho country schools be j Improved. X<> LIMPS IN THU DARK, Th!* is "A government of tho people, hr tho people, ami for tho people." Of fieu-kotders ar? publie .ervants. Tbo.V have no in her.'-nt right to the positions they ncettpy. Their first duty is to their constituents. They shmild bo held to a strict n?:e, nntabiltt'y for tho discharge "f . their olllcial obligations "pwlilic office j ia a public trust." t No public officer ie above ariticiam or ; snperior to censure. Hut while thia la true, it la also equally and ?alnfnllv true , that there are office-holders in South Carolina and elsewhere who di> not rep resent any well defined political Issue, mid who arc in office simply hv rea*-..! of tho loose-Jointed way iii which the people have elected their roproernta tivca. It is necessary that there ahall be closer book-keeping In the future, or the account of tho ?Mlee-holdera with , thc People will never be balanced. Wc arc pleasod tin t t ?-ere I* a growing j demand in this State (or an "oi>eii and I f.es discussion of political Issues"-for j an exchange of confidence bet wi en the ' candidate* for office and the men who I cast the ballots. Vexerai ol our con temporaries hove adopted thc view en tertained and frequently expressed by tho AV Wi ni:-J Coulter in past political campaign ., and doinand that candidates ahall meot thc people and discus* tlie ' lending f*auc* of the ?lay bafore they ahall bo nominated fur office. There nine bo an end to back-door polltir*, and th* lime luis come whon tho poopl* must makw their own ni?tes. Irrespec tive of tho wlshos and designs of per Hunal caucuses. The above, which we twke from the Ne ir* and Courier of the 4th inst., sounds well, lt is undoubt edly correct as far ns lt goes, but the Xcir* und Courier does not touch ti|ion tho practical point. How would you have this "free and open discussion" to take place ? In the newspapers, as ls suggested by I one contemporary, or, in a cans n*? Of the State by candidates for the Democratic nomination before the meeting of the convention? We are in favor of this latter plan of discussing issues. It ls admitted on all aides that the time for "back-door politics" is past, and that personal caucuses ought to gi?'e place to thc will of the people, but the question is a.* to the mode of effecting this. When the next Democratic Con vention assembles, and a proposi tion ls made to postpone nomina Hons until this discussion takes place, wc doubt very much If some of the lower counties will vote for such a measure. Charleston, fer instance, knows too well her pres ent strength in Democratic Con ventions, whwre the del?gate? are composed of mci who are compar atively Ignorant of the views and sentiments of prospective candi dates, to -unction a measure that would weaken this power. Wc trust, however, the Democ racy of thc State may take a more liberal view 0f this matter and Uko steps to put In orient the senti ment oxprcseed by fhe ,??es ?no* Courirr.

A Man AV ho Wear? lOO Piece? of Other Men's Skia. A curious caso of akin grafting ia reported in the San Francis -o Ex* aminer : On the Sith of last May Peter Mc Intyre, who po*se*Sv'd a local rep ' utatiou as a sprinter, was severely burned in a fire at Central Park. . The burns on his feet healed rapid ! ly *n?ugh, but the flesh on his [ shoulder atul arms was ?o scorched , thnt the ordinary process of nature ! was insufficient to restore lt to its ' former condition. It was deter mined by the physician? to graft skin taken from other people on the . ex|K>sed surface, and thus hasten j ? tho cure. Six w?eks ago the ope j ration was begun, and since then j ovor 160 pieces of sain have been : , fastened on raw parts. It will bo ' several weeks before the last Kraft : shall have been attached and the bandage removed. AU the skin , : was taken from the friends of Mc j Intyre, who willingly contributed the required portions of their cuti cle. Each graft was a small clrcu I tar piece about an eight of an inch In diameter. It was taken from' I the arm. Each subject rolled up i his sleeves In McIntyre's room. I and the surgeon rahed the akin i with a fine pair of forceps. Thon, I with circular scissors, he clipped ; the skin off, leaving a round rod mark on the arm, and Inmediately ; I placod the graft on McIntyre's ; wound. These grafts have been I taken from about forty men. Usu ally four were supplied by each, . but som? of the sick man's friends have more than that number ot pink marks on their left arms. ? Tb?! grafts were plnuted ah nit an Inch apart, ns each llttlo piece grows about that distance froui the flesh and united with the other , akin that lt meets. It ls transfered tmmedlP' lj*, from one body to an other, av .ne tissue must be Imbued with vitality when placed on the , raw flesh, and lt would loso all life j In a short while. The foreign char ! acter of the skin may be defected ; j after the heating process ls over, as j lt does not chango its particular hue, and is also devoid of hair and sweat-glands. Its advantage is ' great, Inasmuch as when such burns ' cicatrise the muscles are drawn up and not only is movement restrain ed, but deformity follows. Th* grafted ?kin ls elastic and obviates i all such unpleasant resulta. Mein ; tyre looks anything but an athlete ; ; now. He has been a nick man : since the fir?, and has fallen away I vary much. During the past three 1 ' days, he said yesterday, he has eat- ! en nothing. The Caledonian Club wilt give him a benefit on Thurs- ' day evening. instance* of the grafting of many | pieces of skin, as In this case, have not been common her?. The pro cess Itself Is comparatively new,, having been discovered in l Sou hy . Itlverdc.il a Parisian surgeon. He ' noticed little Islet? of skin growing on raw surfaces, found that they had proceeded from little germa of .kin that had not been destroyed. ; and concluded that transplanted skin would thrive In the same man- ! pe". It had been previously sup posed that lt would take a cover ing of cuticle as large as the wound or saro Itself to make a success ful grafting, and such largo areas of skin could not be obtained. Since then the various kinds of ?kin-, the tissue of chickens, frogs, young pigs and other animals-have boen .' experimented with, but for success , ful transplanting haman skin has been found necessary.
