s ~!. H. : tI'' :~?c..S Clemson College opened a few days ago with over 500 students enrolled. The Republican party in Alabama and North Carolina have thrown the negroes overboard. A complete list of the next legisla ture, published in this paper, shows that there will be seventy-six new members in the next house of repre sentatives. The editor of this paper appreciates1 the many kind things said of him .by his brother editors throughout the State through their respective papers, on his recent election to a seat in the general asembly. Four States have recently held Demo cratic conventions and adopted plat forms. The indications now are that trusts and tariff will occupy consider able attention in the next presidential race. It has been suggested that President Pell, of Converse College, and President Mell, of Clemson, take the boys and girls of these institutions pell-mell to the State fairinOctober. A happy thought is this. Hon. J. M. Griggs, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, of Georgia, has just visited the New England States and says that from information gained on his trip, he feels safe in predicting that the Demo cr$ts will have a majority in the next house. In the recent primaries four members of the "Fourth Estate"' were elected to seatt in the general assembly, namely; Hon. Jno. B. Towill, editor of the Bates burg Advocate; Dr. J. C. Mace, editor of. the Marion Star; Capt. J. Walter Doer, editor of the Georgetown Outlook, and the editor of The Herald and News. Mr. W. R. Hearst, who has been such an ardent champion for Democracy through his papers, the New York Journal and American, is working to secure the Democratic nomination for Governor of New York. We doubt seriously if this championship .in the pest will prove sufficient to give him the nomination. Mr. Editor: Permit me through the cohmua of your paper to express to the voterd af the Third Congressional Dis triet nay sincere thanks and gratitude * for the uniform kindniess and generous support extended me in my recent race for Congress. While, asa matter of course, to those who stood so faithfully by me and gave to me that substantial aid without which I could not have been nominated I owe the greater debt of gratitude, for thoseewho gave th3ir support to some one of my competitors I have nothing but the kindest feeling, for while doing all they could for the man of their choice, they invariably treated me with the greatest kindness and re spect. I am proud and delighted to be able to say that as between my competitors and myself there existed at all times during the campaign, and still exists, nothing but the most fraternal feeling, which I trust shall always be the case. To bethe nominee of the Democratic pqrty of the historic old Third District for a seat in the Congress of these Uited States, is indeed an honor which I highly prize, -and for which I am truly grateful, but when I consider that I was the choice in preference to some one or other of the distinguished gen tlemen who were my competitors, it makes it, if possible, all the more tobe: appreciated. . Appreciating then as I do, this high: and responsible trust reposed in meby: the voters of this Congressioflal Dis-: trict, itsaball be myeffort, sofar asthe: power in me lies, to meet to the fullest extent, in my course as their representa tive in Congress, their highest hopes and expectations. Very respectfully, Wyatt Aiken. -Abbeville, S. C., Sept. 15, 1902. FLOUKt WiNTED, Who elli contribste a Mite to Thi. Worthy Charity ? Almost every dy wants flour.

Woods of Marion has de lined to accept the presidency of the outh Carolina college recently tendered im in so flattering a manner. This nnounceinent will be received by friends f the institution throughout South arolina. The very ground that Mr. Voods takes for declining the offer hews that the State is a loser in fail ig to secure such a man as the head of ne of her most famous institutions. On Tuesday the committee from the ooard of trustees consisting of Mr. Mc dahan and Mr. MacFarland went to darion and. waited upon Mr. Woods. dr. McMahan returned to the city yes erdey bringing with him Mr. Woods' leclination, a copy of which was not vailable until afternoon. The com nittee talked over the matter fully with Mr. Woods and was earnest in its mdeavor to persuade him, but he stood >n high ground, and could not be moved. Here is the letter of declination: Marion, S. C., Sept. 16, 1902. 1on. Miles B. McSweeney, Governor, Chairman, and Gentlemen of the Board of Trustees of the South Caro llna College: The great honor you have conferred n electing me to the presidency of the outh Carolina college has touched me leeply, and it is quite impossible for me to express my profound apprecia ion. It is a post of duty that has been eld by the most illustrious men, and around it cluster the noble traditions of the past and the bright hopes of the future. Surely I never could have thought of myself in connection with the office, but your deliberate judgment, reinforced, as it has been, by generous expressions of approval from other citizens, whose opinions are entitled to great consideration, has given me mucl oncern lest I should fail to see my luty clearly. To the right man there is no station in the State of greater op portunity of usefulness, and none where successful effort could bring more joy. [ have tried to think you are right in regarding me equal to this opportunity, but then after the most careful consid eration of the earnest and strong pre sentation of your views by your distin uished committee I cannot bring my. elf to the conviction that I could rea onably expect to win success. I ami mtrained in educational matoers, and without that insight and acquaintance with the science of education requisite or the position. The labor of my life as been in another field, and I am un ble to resist the conclusion that to make his change now would be at too great >eril to the college. The confidence expressed by your oard I earnestly trust will stimulate ne to strive for the greater usefulness s a citizen. Very sincerely,' -C. A. Woods. It is not yet known what will now e done as to the vacancy. The board ill meet again next week to discuss :he problem again. It is thought likely hat Prof. Sloan, who is now acting >resident, will be asked to continue in hat capacity through the collegiate rear. In the mean time everything is eing gotten in readiness for the open ng of the institution. "Clifton" flour always satisfies be ause it is always kept right up to the tandard-the highest standard of pu ity and excellence. "Clifton" possesses every quality ssential for making bread that is w'hite, light and sweet. The right fia or so seldom found in the bread made Erom ordinary flour-that delicious pure theat flavor-is always found in the read made from "Clifton," which is o orrlinary flour, as most people know. "Clifton" flour is milled from the ick of the finest wheat grown; milled scientifically, with the best of skill and nachinery in every detail of its manu ~acture. "Clifton" is easily a leader, and is tanding the test of thousands of fami ,ies. If you do not use "Clifton" have our grocery to send you a sack. The atisfaction experienced by our many :utomers is assured. BRANSFORD MILLS, Owensboro, Ky. An Iunes Fettvat. The Innes festivals have become a 'standard" attraction throughout the ~ountry, and the yearly visits of the opular leader and his half hundred layers are looked forward to by all, vith constantly increasing interest. soloists of national reputation have lways accompanied the Band and this eason will be no exception to the rule.
