Any doubts concerning
the matter are set at rest by the
letter in this issue from our old
friend, the "Sage of Possum Fork.'
Not only will this road be built
but there is a strong probability
of the Pee Dee Valley railroad

passing through that section.
We advise our Johnsonville
friends to sit steady in the boat
and not be veered by every passing
breeze.

John Allen of Tupelo who while
in Congress used to be knewu as
"Private John," enjoys telling of a
unique chaiacter near his home
known as Jasp White.
Jasp had lived in single-blesseduess
a good many years, but finally
in the evening of his life he got
married, and in due time an heir
was born to him. The day after this
momentous event Mr Allen met Jasp
on the street,
"I understand, Jasp," said the
Private, "that you've a fine baby boy
up at your place. Ilave you decided
on his name?''
"Yes, suh," chuckled Jasp, "we's
already decided on a name,"
"What's it to be?"
Jasp traced one toe reflectively in
a semi circle before him. "You
know, sub," he said finally, "I'a al
Ins been a powerful han' fer dem
Scriptnre folks, an' so I's decided t'
name the kid after some o' dem big
officers what de Bible talks 'bout. I's
settled on de name Beelzebub."
"Beelzebub!"
"Yea, suh, dat'a de name!" an1
nouuced Jasp in a tone betokening
finality. "Beelzebub's a mighty fine
name, suh. It shore looks like I's
aspirin' pow'ful high, but I figgers
! dat boy'll shorely do credit to his
. namesake." June Lippincott's.

AN INTERESTING STATEMENT.
A Descendant of Jobn G.Calhoun Throws
New Light on Clemson Bequest.
The Edgefield News, founded a,
couple of years ago by William P
Calhoun, has ceased publication because
Mr Calhoun, who expected to
operate the paper as an avocation,
: with the practice ot ttie law as iiis
! vocatiou, finds the double duty too
laborious and worrying.
In the last issue of his paper Mr
Calhoun makes a contribution to
current history that, coming from
him, has more than ordinary inter-j
est. We refer to the references to Mr
Clemson, in the following editorial:
"Many suggestions have been
uu h about the muddle at Clemeou
C-?iiege. We do not propose to offer
any solution, nor condemn anyone.

SU edu ton, not
for L ikiud, but simply
to'grai. .?nity and private
smte. He Uio Mtsed his fellow-beings I
and was without religion. He told us
several years before his death that
there was do room for an honest man
in South Carolina. 'Why,' he exclaimed,
'if there ever was such a
mau as Christ, and if he would
come to South Carolina he could not
be elected to the office of a constable.'
"We omit iu relating the above the
number of oaths stuck in at every
point.
"A college founded by such a man
with other people's money through
vanity and spite, cannot expect to
get on smoothly. Clemson's sole aim
in giving his wife's money to South
Carolina was to keep the Calhoun
family from owning Fort Hill, and
he said so with many oaths; and to
make his spite complete, he stuck
his own name to the college, not one
dollar of the money nor one acre of
the land he gave the State being
rightfully or morally his own."
But the more astonishing part of
this business is that dlege
