DARK CORNER.
Dark Corner, Aug. 24.-Nothing
sensational in this corner. Farmtrs
are busy trying to gather their fod?
der, for which we have had a very
good week of weather. We are in a
hurry to get ^brough with fodder so
as to get ready for cotton, which is
opening very fast now these sunshiny
days we have been having; but no
one has commenced to pick as yet.
The cotton crop will be rather short
hereabouts, as it cast off so much af?
ter those heavy rains we had about
two wee?s ago. But the corn crop
will be better than it bid to be about
the first of July.
W. J. Ardis has the finest Spanish

PRIVATEER.
Privateer, Aug. 26.-The heavy
rains of the past two weeks have had
Bethel branch lip tp the high water
mark for some time. We were prom?
ised a bridge there last year, by Maj.
Seale-the lumber was cut and haul?
ed, though the bridge was never built.
Now some of it has been hauled off
to build bridges elsewhere, some float?
ed off, and a little there yet. I think
if Mr. Seale had occasion to cross
there when the water is running over
the seat of the buggy he surely would
have the bridge built.
Fodder pulling is progressing nice?

planted the Early King have com?

PISGAH.
Pisgah. Aug. 25.-The rains still
come. Enough has fallen ir this sec?
tion since the first of March to make
four or five crops; consequently, the
crops are sobbed to death. Big weed
in places, but no fruit. Xotwithstand
ir.g the bad seasons several have good
crops. Among this class is Zeke Sax?
ton, an industrious and honest colored
man. He settled in the woods some
years back ; has built a nice house,
and is one of our best farmers, highly
respected by his white friends, and
whose note is worth one hundred
cents on the dollar. What is said of
him can be said of his son, Simpson,
in every respect. He has some corn
that is as fine as any in this section, j
Hampton Clarkson is also an Indus- ?
trious man, who settled in the woods j

rapidly till th ? building was consum?
ed.
The church had just been com?
pleted. The pews were put in yester?
day and the library moven in. The

the new pipe organ and the carpet
had not been put in.
RAILROAD ASSESSMENT RAISED.
Figures to be Made Public Shortly
Southern Valued at $20,000.000:
Coast Line at $14,000,000.
The figures on the assessments for
the railroads doing business in South
Carolina will be made public in a U /
days. The ?.sesments were practi?
cally decided upon by the State board
of railroad assessors some time ago,
but there has been much discussion
as to the basis of taxation.
It is understood that the Southern
railway has 'seen assessed on a basis
of $20,000,000. which is a raise of
about $6.000.000. and the Atlantic
Coast Line on a basis of $14 000,000.
a.raise of about $3.000,000. There has
been no material change in the as?
sessments of the Seaboard Air Line
railway.
On thc increased assessment the
two roads would pay $45,000 addi?
tional to the State on the 5-mill levy
for general purposes and $27,000 on
the constitutional 3-mill tax for
schools, not to speak of an average
.of 4 mills for general purposes in

CLEMSON COLLEGE OFFICERS
Col. R. W. Simpson Has Resigned as
President of the Clemson Board of
Trustees-Alan Johnstone Suc?
cessor.
Clemson College, Aug. 23.-The
board of trustees held an important
meeting there this week, which was
adjourned yesterday. All members
were present except Senator B. R.
Tillman and Hon. Jesse H. Hardin.
Ther committee which went to
Washinton to visit the war depart?
ment made its report, stating that the
department had received them with
the greatest courtesy, and at once de?
tailed Capt. Josiah C. Minus of the
Sixteenth infantry to act as command?
ant at Clemson, if the board so de?
sired. The board unanimously elect?
ed Capt. Minus.
Capt. Minus is a South Carolinian,
a graduate of the Citadel and of West
Point and has seen several years of
service, in which he has distinguished
himself. He comes highly recom?
mended as a disciplinarian and as a
gentleman of sterling worth and
steady habits. Everybody at Clemson
is delighted with the appointment of
Capt. Minus.
Much to the regret of all the
members. Coi. W. R. Simpson re?
signed the presidency of the board.
The members of the board plead with
him to retain the position he had so
ably filled since the founding of the
college, but Col. Simpson would not
yield. He said that he owed it to
his family to give more time and en?
ergy to his private affairs than the
exacting duties devolving on the
president 01 the board allowed. It was
Col. Simpson who was the attorney
and intimate friend of Mr. Clemson,
who knew the wishes of the benefac?
tor of the college and who wrote the
wiil of Mr. Clemson making the be?
quest to the State:
Col. Simpson has been passionately
devoted to Clemson and her interests
for about 15 years; in fact, since the
beginning of plans for the college.
The welfare of the college has been
on his mind and heart day and night,
and he has spent many a weary hour
working in the interests of the insti?
tution towards which he has a father?
ly feeling.
Realizing his devotion to the col?
lege' and his years of abundant labors
in her behalf, the trustees felt thac
he ought not to resign, but Col. Simp?
son claimed that the others should
share the burden of responsibility. It
was with genuine sorrow that the
board accepted his resignation.
Hon. Alan Johnstone Elected.
Hon. Alan Johnstone of Newberry
was unanimously elected president of
the board. A better man for the posi?
tion could hardly be found anywhere.
Col. Johnstone was one of the origi?
nal elective trustees and he was the
first man to be elected a life trustee,
caking the place of Col. D. K. Norris
about three years ago. In addition to
his long experience on the Clemson
board. Mr. Johnstone has had expe?
rience in school matters in his home
town where he served for years on
the board of trustees. He is a man of
affairs and is noted for his frankness
and his justice.
Dr. Klein Resigns.
Dr. Louis A. Klein has resigned to
;eeept a position in his native State.
Pennsylvania, and in connection with
his alma mater, the Diversity ot
Pennsylvania. While he gets a much
better salary in his new position, he
goes chiefly because the work is more
congenial and more extensive. The
trustees were loathe to give him up
and for a time succeeded in getting
him to wait about resigning, but the
longing for home won, and Clemson
loses one of her best loved professors.
Dr. Klein is a finely equipped veteri?
narian and has already made a fine
reputation, which is -better known
elsewhere, perhaps, than in South
Carolina.
Prof. H. D. House of the chair of
botany resigned some time ago. - He
had been here only a short time. He
will ?ro to a position in Syracuse uni?
versity or in the Bronx park in New
York, his native State.
Prof. John Michels, professor of
animal husbandry, has gone to a sim?
ilar position in the A. & M. of North
Carolina. HV- is one of the best post?
ed dairymen in the country and his
going is a distinct loss to. Clemson.
All th'^se positions, for which there
are many applicant-:, will be filled by
committees of the board in ten days.
ELECTRIC LI<E TO SUMTER?
?
Reported TS?Sjt^One Will be Construct
ed From ^^unibia to the Game
Cock City.
Hopkins, Aug. 26.-The State's
correspondent was informed the oth?
er da^ by good authority that an
electric railway would soon be built
from Columbia to Sumter. It was
also stated that the line would run;
through Lykesland. Ii this be the case,
a determined effort will be made by
the business citizens of Hopkins to
have the road run on from Lykesland
by Hopkins. Lykesland and Hopkins
are only two miles apart and it is
thought that the promoters of this
road would make an excellent move
to run this road through this rapidly
growing little town.-The State.
DOCTOR HARRIS AGAIN.
Negro Arrested for the Illegal Prac?
tice of Medicine.
"Doctor" W. H. Harris, the negro
who has been deceiving ignorant ne?
groes around Sumter for a j*ear or
more and has been arrested more
than once for practicing medicine
without a license, was again arrested
today for practicing medicine illegally
and will be given a preliminary hear?
ing tomorrow. He is also charged jj?
with vagrancy, and both charges will
be pressed against him. Harris is
what might be classed as an unde
? sirable citizen, and several of his un?
fortunate dupes upon whom he has
practiced his arts as a medicine man
are suspected of having met Death
more than half way, thanks to Har?
ris' efforts to hurry them post-haste
into eternity.
