No Presbyterian College of South Carolina would now be at Clinton or elsewhere had it not been for the en terprise and the devoted and self-sacri ficing efforts of Clinton people. No where in South Carolina is there a bet ter town for a Presbyterian College. Nowhere, in our opinion, is there a town as good for such an establishment?a fact that the existence of the College has proved. In the face of such diffi culties what other community of Pres byterians in South Carolina has had the faith to build a college? The proiH)sition to move the College from Clinton seems to have no sound reason behind it. No other town will or can offer enough to be a substantial inducement. Suppose Bennettsville or Sumter should offer $50,000?which is far more than either is likely to offer?that would be, relatively, of little weight. The inter est on that sum is about $2,500 the year. Such an income is a "drop in the bucket." The only hope for the College lies in cordial, zealous, self-sacrificing support of the Presbyterians in South Carolina. If they wish to have a college in South Carolina they can have it in Clinton, in Sumter or in Beaufort. They are a rich denomination. While not so numerous, as the Methodists or Baptists we sus pect they are far wealthier in propor tion; at least we think so. If they determine to work for a college in the State as do the Methodists for Wofford or as the Seceders for Erskine the mat ter of $50,000 will be of little concern. They will rally around the College at Clinton, a well organized little College which has a good strong faculty and a healthy college spirit and a creditable if brief history and a staunch, virile, sturdy community at its back and they will give it facilities for a wider use fulness. If Sumter should give $50,000 and then the College should receive no more support than it is now receiving, it would be no larger and more influential than it is. Fifty thousand dollars will not estab lish a College anywhere. The people of South Carolina, most of them, thought that the Clemson be quest of about one hundred thousand was munificent. A few thinking people said it was nothing. Now the College is receiving a hundred and fifty thou sand dollars each year, and so far as real College work counts, it is not yet up to the ranks of Wofford, Erskine and Furman. It is a fine school, a valuable school and it fills a place that no other school fills but it cannot give a man the real College education that Wofford or Erskine or Furman can give. The real question is, Do the South Carolina Presbyterians want a College? Heretofore they have been divided about it. Davidson has always been half a South Carolina institution. It has hundreds of alumni and friends in the State. Many of these prefer io con tinue supporting Davidson?a first class institution, as everybody knows. Many think the effort to establish a Presby terian College in competition with Da vidson, a few miles across the border in North Carolina was a mistake. We do not think so. We think the South Carolina Presbyterians can build a good College in South Carolina. We think they have made a good start. We do not think that it would be good busi ness policy to move the College from Clinton for a dollar less than $100,000. Even then it would be of doubtful wis dom. The Presbyterians have a great op portunity to establish a great institu. tion in Clinton. In any other town it would ^be necessary to first make the opportunity. That the College can succeed in Clin ton has been demonstrated. It hr.s suc ceeded practically without money. In the face of such a fact, to move it would require audacity on the part of the College trustees. The idea of voting the Dispensary out of Edgeficld. To vote Edgefield out of the the Dispensary would seem the natural suggestion. # The movement to vote the dispensary out of Anderson causea no surprise. They press tho juice out of goobers, somotimes called pinders, in Anderson and it is said to be a very popular drink, fully satisfying the demand for beverages. "Gentlemen may cry 'Peace! peace!" but Oyama seems deaf to such sounds. C. B. Martin of Cornell University was in the city the other day on his way to his old home at Rapley for a brief vacation. Mr. Martin has completed the course in Cornell for the Master of Arts Degree and the degree will be con ferred upon him next Saturday. He was recently elected assistant professor of Latin in Furman University, of which he is an alumnus, and will be act ing professor of Latin until the elec tion of a man to take full control of the department. ?

A lady was one day teaching a little colored girl how to spell, says an ex change. She used a pictorial primer, in which each word was accompanied by an illustration. Polly glibly spelt "o-x, ox," and "b-o-x, box," and the teacher thought she was making "right rapid progress," perhaps even too rapid. She put her hand over the picture, and then asked Polly, what does "o-x" spell? "Ox," answered Polly, nimbly. "How did you know it spelled ox?" Polly was as honest as the day.
