SPARE THE COLLEGE.
The Superintendent of Educa
tion, Mr. Mayfield, will recom-
in 'nd to the General Assembly
the abolition of the South Caroli-
n;, College and the establishmeut,
with the same buildings and ap
propriation, of a large notmal
and industrial co educational
institution. We have been < x-
p< cting something like this for
a long time. Several years ago
those who seem to be hostile to
the College succeeded in pass
ing an Act requring the siu-
di nts to pay tuition. When
this was done they claimed to
be satisfied and promised to
leave the College alone. When
the Tillman campaign of 1890
began, the College was again
dragged into politics. The
Tillmanites succeeded in reduc
ing the College to a strictly
classical institution and then
they, likewise, claimed to be
satisfied and promised to leave
the College alone. Ordinarily
promises amount to something,
and the friends of the South
Carolina College would have
had reason to hope that the in
stitution was still safe, had not
there remained among them a
lurking fear that the great ani
mosity of the administration
towards the College would over
ride all promises.
Mr. Mayfield gives as his n a
si,ns for making the recommen
dation that the number of stu
dents at the College is only
si ventv, and that the fees de-
ri . ed from tuition, etc., amount
only to $2,890, while the State’s
appropriation for the main ,e-
nance of the College is $41,5 K).
A; r. Mayfield ignores the fact
that before t' e advent of the
Tillman administration the at
tendance at the College exceed
ed two hundred. No sooner
did the Tillmanites inaugurate
tl eirpolicy of crippling the insti
tution than the attendance be
gan to decrease. The constant
ftar that they will close the
institution altogether deters
young men from seeking edu
cation within its walls. If the
administration will pursue a
friendly, instead of hostile, pol
icy towards the College, con
fidence in the institution will
be restored and Mr. Mayfield
will find that the attendance
will immediately increase aud
will reach the satisfactory re
sults obtained prior to 1890.
The State should follow a poli
cy of construction, not destruc
tion. If we strike at our educa
tional interest, we strike at the
very vitals of the Common
wealth. More education is
what we need. Increase the
facilities for it, build all the
schools and colleges that the
State can afford, but don’t tear
down any that have already
been established. This would
be suicidal.
Gentlemen of the General As
sembly, be not iconoclasts.
Seek not to destroy that which
is good and great, that which is
venerable and venerated. Spare
us the College! Crippled though
it be, it has not outlived its use-
fnlness. In the names of Preston
and Legare, in the names of
McDuffie and Pettigru, in the
names of the thousands of Caro
lina’s sons who have received
their early training within its
cl issic walls, we conjure you to
lei the College stand. Let it
continue to be what it has be-m
fo nearly a century—the col
le r :e for the higher education of
tl 9 young men of South Caroli
na.
HAMPTON IN PUBLIC LIFE.
Wade Hampton has been
pr ,minently mentioned fora
high appointment under Cleve
land. The S/afc nominates him
for Inter State Commerce Com-
nTssioner. Of course to all true
C; rolinians no office seems too
high for the old hero and we Jo
not believe there is. Governor
H mpton says he is not a can
didate for any office, but this
does not prevent Cleveland from
appointing him to a high posi
tion, nor will such an appoint
ment be any the less acceptable
to South Carolina.
Cle eland could do a no more
gr iceoil thing than to honor
Hampton. In honoring him,
he would honor South Carolina
and the South. It would be a
recognition of the hero’s faith

to the party. Hampton deser

GUARDING AGAINST CHOLERA.
Rigi^ Regulation! Governing the Ad
mission of Immigrants.
Washington, Nov. 17.—Act
ing Secretary Spaulding of the
Treasury Department has issued
an important circular to collec
tors of customs in regard to the
entry of vessels carrying immi
grants. It says:
“This department has receiv
ed authentic assurance that the
danger of cholera infection still
exists, and that the measures of
precaution which have hereto
fore been observed cannot be
materially relaxed without im
periling the public safety. The
Department adheres to its con'
struction of the term ‘immi
grant’ as used in the recent cir
cular, and holds that any per
son who arrives from his home
in a foreign country with the
intention of making a perma
nent settlement here isanimmi
grant within the term of said
circular.”
Regarding the personal ex
amination of all cabin passen
gers by a surgeon and registry
clerks, the circular says it is
not deemed necessary. An ex
amination of the cabin passen
gers as they pass experienced
officers on leaving the ship will
be sufficient. Custom officers
will detail for examination such
foreigners as the} have reason
to believe are removing to this
country for a permanent resi
dence.
The inspection thus provided
for is enforced, because the de
partment has information which
shows that persons of the pro
hibited class, notably contract
laborers, have been found to ar
rive in the cabin, in attempted
violation of the law. All immi
grants coming as cabin passen-
gers will be compelled to under
go the required examination,
which is also desirable in order
to insure the collection of head
tax of the passengers not citi
zens of the United States.
A measure ot eagerness, and even of
something very like impatience, is a
pretty good characteristic ef young peo
ple. Boys and girls, yoang men and
maidens, ought to be wise, but not with
old men's wisdom.

COTTON PICKING MACHINERY.
More Difficult Than it Would ba to j
Gather Blackberries.
[nmttunooga Times.]
To perfect a machine which
will pick cotton from the stalk
in the field, says a Baltimore
paper, has been the desire of
many invenlors, and numerous;
appliances have been construe •
ed on as many different prir.»
ciples, but thus far none has
proved suffi iently satisfactory
to be put into practical use. Un
fortunately all the cotton on a
stalk does not ripen at onetime.
There may be twenty bolls in
various stages of ripening and
only two or three full ripe, and
these may be at the top, bottom,
or any four sides of the plant.
A machine therefore, to pick
this cotton without injuring
either the plant or remaining
bolls must be able to reach to
any part of the plant, pluck the
cotton from the boll and carry
it to a receiving chamber or bag
in which it is stored. Those
who have never seen a cotton
plant will appreciate the diffi
culty by knowing that there
would be the same troubles, and
more, to overcome than there
would be to invent a machine
to pick blackberries, ripe ones
only.
Some of the machines which
have been tried have a series of
brushes w a i c h are pressed
against the cotton boll by the
operator, these brushes draw
ing out the jotton and deliver
ing it to a l elt, which in turn
carries it to a receptacle in the
machine. Another form has a
hose through which a strong
current of air is drawn.
This also is placed against the
cotton, and draws it from the
boll up into a bag. Still anoth
er form has a number of arms
with steel fingers, which catch
the cotton and deliver it into
the machine. All have had the
same objection, however, either
injuring th^plat or requijffig
more time t nd skill to operate
than is nece tsary for hand pick
ing. A gotd field hand can
pick from 150 to 200 pounds of
seed cotton per day when the
stand is good—that is. where a
large number of bolls are open
—and even an ordinary hand
can get fron 100 to 125 pounds.
While it is impossible to fore
tell to what perfection mechan
ical skill car bring a machine,
it does not s lem likely that the
many conditions necessary to
successful nechanical cotton
picking cat soon be realized,
though the nventor who could
do it would become as famous
as Whitney, the originator of
the cotton g o.
A FEMALE ATTORNEY GENERAL.
A'Wo man Elected to that High Office
in Montana.
Miss Ella Knowles, Attorney
General-elect of Montana, was
born 28 year t ago in Northwood,
N. H.Sheisa graduate of Bates’s
College at Lewiston, Me, and
lias taken the degree of Master
of Arts from that institution.
Her legal studies were prosecu
ted in the law office of Burnham
& Brown in Manchester, N. H ,
and later in Helena, Mon.
There was considerable preju
dice against allowing her to
practice.
So the plucky young woman
went to work to influence the
Legislature—it was the Territo
rial Legislature of 1888-89—to
pass a bill admitting women to
practice law Western chival
ry could not withstand her, and
the bill was passed. In Decem
ber, 1890, she was admitted to
the Bar, and now she has a
practice of which many men
would be pre ud, to say nothing
of her prospects politically.
Miss Knowles is described as
being very womanly in appear
ance. She is the only woman
lawyer in the State, but even
into her profession she carries
the gentler virtues. She has
ail a woman s keen sensibilities
and tender sympathies, and all
the roughness of Western life
with which fhe has come in con
tact has not impaired these
qualities. Li appearance she : s
more like a demure young mt>
tron than a stern Portia. She
is of medium height, neither
thin nor stott, has a face which,
while strong and firm, is also
pretty. She believes in her
right to pra 'tice law and be
paid for her legal services, and
she believed in her right to be
Attorney General of Montana
if she could get enough votes.
The People’s party liked her
spirit, and when it came to
make up a ticket last July it
gave her the nomination She
conducted a spirited campaign
and all the c -edit of her victory
belongs to hi rseif.
THE BRITISH EMPIRE.
Strengthening the Band* of Union Tar
iff and Electoral Reform.
London, Nov. 17.—The Coun
cil of the Imperial Federation,
at a meeting to-day, approved
the report of the committee
which proposes the creation of
a Federal Council in which shall
sit representatives of Canada,
Australia and South Africa,
together with the British Prime
Minister, the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, the Minister of
Foreign Affairs, the Minister of
the Colonies, the Minister of
War, and the Secretary of State
for India. This council shall fix
the contributions each part of
the Empire shall pay toward
the common defense.
At the annual congress of
Conservatives, to be held in
December, the subject of fair
trade, otherwise a moderate
protective tariff, will be con
sidered and strongly supported
by the agricultural interest.
The congress will also be asked
to adopt what is called the Edin
burg programme, which aims
to cut under the Liberal New
castle programme.
The Edinburg proposition in
cludes electoriul registration re
form, with an equalization of
votes and a reduction of the per
iod of occupancy required to
qualify voters ; approves the ex
tension of the franchise to fe-
ma’e rate payers, the disfran
chisement of illiterate voters,
popular control of the liquor
traffic, State provision for old
age, assistance to workingmen
to enable them to acquire land
for building purposes, an
amendment to the factory laws,
and the passage of acts in favor
of the workingmen.
Being Near at Hand.
“1 suppose." said an English woman
to two American travelers on the deck
of one of the big transatlantic steamers,
“that yon intend to visit Shakespeare’s
birthplace.”
“Oh, yes," was the answer; “ws shall
go to Stratford by all means. Yon have
been there of courser
“No; I never have been. Very few
English people go there, but it is a great
resort for Americans.”
“Why is it that English people take
so little interest, comparatively, in the
town which produced so great a genins?”
“Well, 1 c innot account for it, except
poesibly on the theory that one is never
so likely to visit what is always within
one’s reach as are those who go to a
strange country with the special object
of sightseeing. Why, on this very
steamer 1 have met an American who
told me that, althongh his home is close
to New York, he has never visited your
Metropolitan Museum of Art in Central
park except once, while he has been a
number of times to the British museum,
and repeatedly to the Lonvre. Now, I
fancy that if he lived a few hundred
miles from New York, and occasionally
went there to ’see the sights,’ he would
have a much more intimate knowledge
of the mnsenm than he has now, when
it is within his reach every day, or at
least every week.’’—New York Tribune.
A CLOCK ON A STRIKE.
IT WAS WORSE THAN AN INFERNAL
MACHINE IN EFFECT.
THREE-QUARTERS OF A MILLION.
Cleveland’s lirmense Majority over
Harrison.
A tabulation of estimated ma
jorities for the Presidential
candidates in the respective
States shows that Cleveland will
have an overwhelming plurality
over Harrison—sometning like
three-quarters of a million—and
that he will have a large major
ity of all the votes cast. The
excess of the vote for Cleveland
over the combined vote for Har
rison and Weaver is variously
estimated at from 430,000 to
590,000, and it will probably ex
ceed half a million. “No strong
er proof than this could be
given,” say^ the Philadelphia
Record, “of the extent of the
popular movement in favor of
tax reduction. The advocates
of monopoly and special privi
lege are in & really pitiful and;
contemptible minority.”
8om« Horrors of Qoackorj.
Th« old proverb, “Any port in a
etom,” has often found practical illus
tration in the empirical treatment of
disease. Time was when even regular
practitioners in the art of healing in
cluded in their professional armament,
along with many simple remedies of
real value, other matters, the very men
tion of which might almost suffice to en
gender illness. We may feel thankfnl
that we have now entered upon a later
and more scientific era, and that such
extraordinary drugs as weasels’ gizzards,
does’ hoofs, snails, and other even more
repnlsi ve horrors, do not now find a place
in any pharmacopoeia.
There still exists, however, a species
of medical folklore, and some of its pre
scribed wisdom available for nse in ill
ness is of he most remarkable kind.
Times of panic, by throwing a popula
tion to some entent on its own resources
for treatment, are apt to create a de
mand for these snrvivals of a dork age.
This happened lately in Germany, where
a toad cooked with mnch care was swal
lowed as s enre for cholera. As to the
resnlt we are not informed. Most of ns
would probably choose to snffer rather
than thns attempt our own relief.—Lon

“Yes, my dear friend, I have carefully

cannot and could never love you.” Del
acroix kept on painting. “Is that a
fact?” he said. “Yee, and I ask you to
pardon me and give me credit for my
candor—my poor Delacroix."
Delacroix did not badge from his
easel. "You are angry with me, are you
not? Yon will never forgive me?" “Cer

quiet for ten minutes. 1 have got a bit

A Davatad Brother Mas aa latareetlaa
aad Rzasncratlag Kxporlwea with a
Qasar Galas Tlm.ytoeo—What Was the
Matter with the Clonk.
This is s story about a clock which
made a great deal of trouble for two
people and gave the same two people
very poor opinions of each other. The
brother says that no woman in the world
ears his sister coaid have had such
amazing ignorance about clocks in gen
eral, and this one in particular, while
his sister declares that only her brother,
of all men on earth, would have allowed
a little bit of a clock to make a fool of
him before a carload of strangers.
The trouble with the clock was that it
wouldn't keep time. There was no
reason in the world why it wonldn’t; it
jnst wonldn’t, and that was all there
was to it This was painful to the
yonng woman for several reasons. It is
only necessary to mention one; the
timepiece had been given to her by her
betrothed. He thought it was a little
gem of a clock, and that it would please
her. She agreed with him ss to the
beauty of the delicate little affair, and
was pleased fora time. Then she began
to get worried; then she got nervous,
snd lastly alarmed. This was all of
coarse because the thing would not go,
snd, because she feared he might think
she had broken it, or, worse stilt, as she ■
herself confessed between time, that she
hadn't sense enough to ma^e a clock go,
white her irreverent and impertinent
brother suggested sweetly that he wae
more likely to think that it was her
“face which had stopped a clock.”
The family were in the country when
the clock wss received, and when the
time drew near for the arrival of the
betrothed clock giver affairs began to be
desperate. The yonng woman deeiared
that that clock had to go. The clock
simply wouldn’t She would wind it
np—it wonld always wind without the
slightest resistance—bnt it would not
go. She shook it, she turned it --wide
down, she coaxed it, she laid it ou its
face and then on its back, and the hands
were still froze to the face of the dock.
“Albert,” she said to her brother,
“yon must take this clock over to town
snd get it repaired. It most be repaired;
it must go.”
Now town was ten miles sway, and
Albert did not see why any one should
make so mnch fuss over a clock, and
inch a little clock, too, as that was. Bnt
when arguments snd pleadings could
not move him he yielded to tears, and,
chucking the timepiece under his arm,
he boarded the train snd started for
town. In the car be placed the clock on
the seat beside him and rested his hand
on it. Then more trouble began. That
clock began to strike. It went into the
striking business in a calm, determined
way.
It struck right along, np grade and
down grade, around curves and on
straight tracks. The brother felt a
fainting aronnd his heart. The people
in the car who had fi*t been amused
began to be annoyed. The yonng man's
face got red; it got warm; his hair be
came bathed with dafripness, bnt he
cinng to the clock like a Trojan. He
had an idea that he might be able to
hide it or smother it or cloee it, he
didn't know which, and so he kept his
hand tightly pressed on it
And all the time that infernal ma
chine jnst “sawed wood.” It had struck
a gait which it liked, and it kept it up
without a break. It showed no signs of
getting tired or of running down. It
was striking along at a 2:20 gait when
the train reached the town. It con-
tinned to strike when the brother made
his escape from the car. It went on
striking np the street until the brother
wanted to throw it over a fence and
then commit suicide. No burglar alarm
was ever more persevering than that
clock. No clanging fire engine ever
made more noise and caused more ex
citement. The clock was striking away
tndnstrionsly and cheerfully when the
brother ran into a jeweler’s shop and
threw the thing down on a counter.
“For heaven’s sake stop it!" he cried.
Bnt it had stopped. There it lay on
the counter as dnmb as an oyster and as
silent as a tomb.
“Well, I'll be hanged,” said the broth
er breathlessly. “What's the matter
with it anyway?" he asked, looking at
it as if it were a dynamite cartridge.
The jeweler picked it up.
“Look out!” cried the brother. “That
thing will start np again if yon touch
it.”
But it didn’t It never made a sound,
only in a minute came a gentle and
rhythmic ticking.
“There’s nothing the trouble with it,”
said the jeweler, setting the hands and
then examining the little infernal ma
chine. “Yon see,” he added with a sym
pathetic smile, “this is a repeating clock.
Yon can make it restrike the teat hour
by touching this spring. Yon have been
winding np the repeating sounder, bnt
not the clock. And yon most have held
yonr hand on the spring when yon kept
it striking. It’s all right now. All yon
want to do ia to wind the clock more and
the repeater leas.”
“Ohl" said the brother with a gasp—
and that was all.
Now the brother aays that any woman
who doesn’t know enough to wind a
clock doesn’t know enough so live. And
the sister says—well, every brother
knows what sisters can say.—New York

A New Rope.
The ontside bearing surface of ordi
