Collected by Clem son More tban
t# $100,000 Less tban Last Year.
Clemson College, July 15:?The
fertilizer tag tax for the year ending
June 30, 1815^, was $155,859.76,
more than One hundred thousand
dollars l^s than the amount collected
during the year ending June 30,
1914. This final report was made
by the president of Clemson College
to the recent meeting of the board
of trustees. President Riggs stated
that the tax had fallen to such a low
amount that it twas due only to a
surplus of $67,192.84 from the year
before that the college was able to
get through the year without borrowing
money.
- ? J iL. L-l
The fertilizer tax ana me oaiauee
on hand at the beginning of the
year together amounted to approximately
$223,000 and with this sum,
together with the amount received
from other sources, the college was
able, with the strictest economy and
V, the curtailment of expense, to get
through the year without borrowing.
The Legislature has given the college
permission to borrow $62,400 if
necessary during the year ending
June 30, .1916, and President Riggs
stated that it was likely that the
- # college would have to avail itself of
this permission when the session
opened in September, because the
fertilizer tax does not begin to come
in in any large amount until after
Christmas. f

PASSES AWAY.
EDITOR OF THE COUNTY RECORD
SUCCUMBS TO DISEASE AFTER
LONG, PATIENT SUFFERING.
A telegram was received here
from Hendersonville, N C, at 7:30
Monday evening stating that "Mr C
N Wolfe passed atfay quietly at 7:00
)'clock." Knowing as we did how
le had suffered for years past, and
'specially since his affliction devel>ped
into an incurable pulmonary
lisease, and that the final summons
night come at any hour.it was gratfying
to those closer to him by kin
? ^
\
lred and friendship ties to know his
<
lour of passing was calm and peacefal;
that the intense suffering which
for the past few weeks had racked '
lis body and emaciated his form had
eft him to die quietly and painlessy.
The ravages of disease, through
nany years of suffering, had so
veakened his constitution that when
le left Kingstree May 28 for Henlersonville
to undergo treatment in
i sanitarium he felt that he would
lever return horn"1 alive, yet he was
villing to go and leave those nearest
ind dearest to him that they might
>e free from danger by infection.

idquarters for C
wife and his uncle,Dr D C Scott.who
did everything possible for his comfort,
was very trying to him, and he
reached the sanitarium in a tired,
exhausted condition. This, however,
soon passed otf and for a time it
was hoped that his condition was
improving. Such hopes were short
lived,for it soon became evident that)
this patient sufferer was gradually
growing thinner and weaker, then,
finally, he became helpless and could
not turn himself in bed and all hope
of his recovery was abandoned, and
his physician and attendants at the
sanitarium advised that he might !
linger on in this Condition until September
or that he might pass away
at an- earlier date. This was the situation
when Mrs Wolfe and his little
daughter left him, in compliance .
with his own wishes, last Thursday 1
to return to Kingstree. Monday 1
morning a note was received from 1
the nurse in charge stating that
there was no change in Mr Wolfe's !
condition, that he was being well '
cared for and was doing as well as \
could be expected.
At 7:30 the same day the an- '
nouncement of his death was re- '
ceived. Instructions were sent di- 1
recting that his remains be embalm- '
cd, properly prepared for burial and
sent to Kingstree at the earliest
time possible. These instructions j
were carried out and the body reach- j
ed Kingstree at 11 o'clock yesterday. j
It-was met at the depot by a >
number of Kingstree's leading busi- j
npss and professional men, the May- ]
or and members of the town council j
and clergymen. The casket was j
conveyed from the depot to the
Methodist church, where the funeral j
services were conducted at high ]
noon by the pastor, Rev D A Phillips,
assisted by Rev L E Peeler of I
the Cedar Swamp Methodist church
and Rev H D Bull of the Episcopal
church. /
After the funeral services the
body was viewed by the friends of
the deceased and remained in the
church until 2 p. m., when it was
taken to Cedar Swamp, the community
of his birth and where he
was reared to young manhood. In
the quiet shades of the old Cedar
Swamp cemetery beside the mouldering
dust of his mother and sister, all
that was mortal of this intellectual
genius, was laid to rest and to await
the resurrection morn.
Mr Wolfe was devoted to the Benson
section and her people. He was
a true friend to every son of her
soil ana always delighted in meeting
and talking with any one from
hie old home community. He would I
never consent to move his member- |
ship from the Cedar Swamp Metho- I
dist church and always expressed a 1
desire to be buried there.
The active palbearers from the
depot to the church were: Messrs L
C Dove, E C Epps, E C Burgess, W
E Jenkinson, J W Cook, L P Kinder;
honorary, Hon P H Stoll, Mayor W
R Scott, Hon R J Kirk. Dr A M
