A DISSECTING KNIFE
CHIAIRMAN TABER LAYS BARE
EASED PAllTo.
Of cle qo I 1.01 i ritIcisas of Trdsteen
,.led to and Ossa is PlI 41 on Pel
1on--A shocking State.
To the Editor of The State:
In the latter part of June, the com
nittee of the State board of health
were instructed to investigate the
causo and typo of fever at Clemson,
and to report the results to the gov
erior. This was done and the re
port of tho committee was published
throughout the State. The Register
of the 10th of July contains a state
ment by the trustees of Clemson, in
which they criticise the report of the
committee, and while denying cor
tain statements made by them, they
affirm additionally, that the examina
tion of Clemson by the committee
had been "very cursory and impe/
feet." Against professional gentle
muon, sent upon an impaeit mis
iion by the hjgheni-aithority of the
---tlioso charges are grave, and
cannot pass unchallenged. The com
mittee'wore content to determine the
typo of the fever, and, by request, to
make whatever suggestions they
thoug.ht bdst. They blamed no one,
even by insinuation, and were very
glad to be the means, if possible, of
relieving thO officials of Clemson of
unpleasant embarassment. It is to
be greatly regretted therefore, that
the trustees failed to appreciate the
delicate position of the committee,
and have forced them into print in
self-defence. The trustees claim
that the "cursory and imperfect ex
amination made by the State board
of health is shown by the fact that
two palpable errors are made in
their report. The dairy which they
place under the ban, as a probable
cause of disease, was not built on a
pond which had boon filled in."
In reply we beg to state, upon au
thority, that the present sito of the
dairy had been a bathing pond made
by the Calhouns and had been filled
in with earth and then underdrained.
Our informant even pointed out
where the dan stood. There could
have boon no motive for one deeply
interested in the welfare of Clemson,
to have invented this statement, the
truth of which we had neither incli
nation, nor the right to question. In
fact the statement is apparently con
firmod by the character of the soil
and its surroundings.
The trustees in further denial of
our report, assert that there "is not
iingle privy on the surr-ounding
hills above the dairy." We were in
formed that tha hills were often used
for unsanitary purposes in place of
water closets. This wve found to be
true.
On the hill above, and to the
north of thie dairy, and at the foot of
thme hill within three pr four feet of
the spring, we found abundant ox
cromontions matter.
This condition of things wvas really
worse than a privy on the hilltop.
On the opposite hill, at the hotel,
there were two privies- one at the
stab)lo, wvhich was visited by myself
and Dr. Reose, and the other at the
hotel, examined by Dr. E'vans.
Somewvhat southeasterly from the
dairy is a dwelling, wvhero, we were
informed, there was an additional
privy.
But more than all these, and how
evoyfimrodible, we found a spring
( ivy ?) located within the dairy, 10
o* 2 feet from the milk and butter,
r;'d the room in which the privy wvas
was placed filled with offensive gas
es. Furthermore, from the ground
without t.he building noxious gases
we're escaping, either from the pipe
of the privy or from the sower,
which, straingp to say, runs within
two or three feet of the dairy.
We quote again from the trustees,
who claim that "the statement is
mad1o t biree separate times that the
water closets should be outside of
'thme barracks, and not inside, and
should be detached from them. In
fact, the water closets were removed
from the buildings more two years
"By subsitungn "hnt" for "nd,"
as was -inapdod, the sontonce will
bq-weged to a simplo aflirmuation
ehat water closets should not be with
in the main buildings. Tim report
of the committOO was hastily prepar
ed and illegibly written, henco a
number of typographical orrors ap
pear. The second time the stato
ment is made "that water closets
should be detached from dwollings,"
has reference plainly and unoquivo
cally to private dwellings, and the
third time the statement, is used to
press the -fact that water closets
should be detachod from buildings.
There is, thoroforo, no g.-ound for
the trustees to assume that the com
mittoo failed to recognize that the I
water closets were detached from the
barracks by"a latticed gallery 15 foot
long.- The trustees might have i
vi'ted Clemson for a game of "blind i
rAn's buff," but not so with the com- I
iitto.
Hitherto the committee confined i
themselves to reporting the sanitary t
defects of Clemson. What shall <
they say of its managoment? Shall <
we speak of the diet, pronounced in
adequate for students whose physi
cal and mental powors aro taxed by t
an exhausting curricdlum and by
the severity of military discipline?
That the students are required, whon I
the day's work is ended, to be shut
in their rooms an hour after sunset t
until bedtime, to swelter in a build- t
ing little superior, in sanitary ar
rangements, to the Libby prison in
Richmond ? Shall we toll the public I
how the students have boon crowd- I
ed like criminals, four in a room,
barely large enough to afford breath
ing space for.two.
Shall we tell tLem that a doop
ditch, roking with accumulated ox
creta, was intentionally arrested in
its flow and subjected to the decomn
posing action of intense solar hoat,
and that the students wore kopt
working in the lowAm.ds beside it.,
day by day, under the beaming noon
day sun-a menace to thier lives ?
Shall we tell that the milch cows
were driven daily through this pois
oned water, of which they perhaps
drank, and which must have splash
ed upon their udders-in either in
stance, enough to effect the milk
injuriously ?
Shall we tell that the forest in
tervening between this postiforous
ditch and tho barrrcks, the only pro
tection for the students against the
the inrush of poisoness ofitivia, was
recklessly destroyed ?
And that an oflicml testified of his
own personal experience, that the
barracks wers invaded b)y a "horr'
ble stench?"
Just think of it! All this right
under our noses, at Clemson, which<
aspires to be the bright,est jewel in I
the educational crowvn of South Cari-.
olina.
Speak not of typhoid fever at I
Clemson. It cannot and must nmotI
be! Better the horrible inscription
over the gates of Hlades than that I
of epidemic typhoid fever at 1cm
son!
Guard the secret-and let fathem-s
and mothers come, afte wi ~eary daysi
and nights of conseless vigils andI
with bleeding hearts, cai-ry back t.o I
their homes their owvn dear dead.
Might woe not write up)on the walls
of Clemson that the "Ossa"~ of ignor
ance is piled on the "Polion" of im
becility ?

the final docree in the Vandorcock
and Moore casos had boon filed. He
called attention to the fact that so
far only temporary injuctions have
boon issued in both the Vandorcock
and Moore oases, though, said ho:
"I soo that the press seems to be
under tho impression that in this
last decision Judge Simonton has
made pormanent his injunction
granted in the- Vandercock caso.
This last decision was filod in the
Moore case, and Judge Simonton
says in his decison "with those mod
ifications let an injunction issue as
prayed for in the bill." The bill
could only ask for a "temporary in
junction." Judge Townsend went
on to say until after the Anal hear
ing in those two cases which would
take place some time in August in
Groonvillo, the State could not take
its appeal, for that could not bo
don before the final decree was
handed down.

These "Boston yankees" alread3
have big money in cotton mills it
South Carolina. Throo-fourths of
the capital in the now mills ir
Spartanburg is Now England money,
and they have never yet even sug
gested tho emlployment of negrc
operatives. Indeed, it is a now do
parturo if Boston was suddonly fal
lon in love with the negro, for all
the genuino yankoos that I know or
have known had little use for him,
except as a base of political opera
tions. The now little city of Fitz
gerald that is made up of Illinois
yankoos, wont even allow him a
domiolo in the corporation. I know
a yanko lady who was taken sick
here and she wouldn't eat anything
they cooked, and liked to have por
ished to death during hor long ill
ness. Kind neighbors took nice
things to her, but had to tell her
they woro cooked )y negroos. It is
curious how they (on't mix thingm
up north, for in one hotel you will
find all colored waitors and in an
other all whites. There are botole
in F-lorida whoro all the waiters are
Now England girls. In the north
west no colored barbers are allowed.
They would lynch on just as soon
as he put up his striped I)olo.
Thoro is really loss projudico against

this his boon tiaid and rosaid

lynch them," they say, and tle
Now York lorald kmops an accounti

"What. alre you going to do about

their people the enormity of thc

heart are the same at Urbana and
Dallas.
But Angleo.Saxon fears are arous
ed p)romaturely. No white children
have yet 1boon dlisp)laced that I have
heard of. The papers~ say that some
wealthy negroes are about to build1
a cotton mil l mn Alabama. That is
all right, of course, and they will
employ03 negro labor. Mr. Anglo
Saxon canl' t comnplaiin about that,
b)ut he charges that Hon. Hoke
Smith in 1893 wrote an article for
the Amianll Review adlvocating
the (employm1ent of negro labor in
our cotton mills as a means of comi

I don't b)elievo that Mr. Smith wvrote

[Special to The State.]
Washington, July 12.-In reply
to inquiries of the State's represon
tative today, Senator Tillman made
the following statement in reference
to the pending senatorial contest in
the Stato:
"Porsoinally, the relations between
Irby and myself are friendly, atloast
they are not so strained as they wore
at one time, but that fact has no sig
nificance whatever, so far as the son
atorial campaign in the State is con
corned. Wo were brought togothor
by a mutual friend a year or so ago
wit hout, any possible reference to
present or future conditions."
Speaking of his alleged connection
with the Irby-Evans combination to
defeat McLaurin, he said: "While
in Washington some time ago Ev
ans talked with inn about his candi
dacy for the senate and I advised
him against it and the announce
ment of his candidacy in the news
popors was a surpriso to me, and
