l'niverslty of South Carolina, the Cit?
adel, etc., could come In for a .share,
which they certainly deserve.
Clemson College Is getting annually
too much money with which to ope?
rate the school and make the neces?
sary Improvements. The college's In?
come ki something over $200,000,
counting the Income from the endow?
ments, etc. The other State colleges,
which are doing as much good or
more, do not get anywhere near Utis
amount
When the fertiliser tax for Clemson
College was first talked of Chief Jus?
tice Mclver, who was one of the
ablest Jurists South Carolina ever pro?
duced said, and he contended until
his dying day, that it was a gr^at mio
dako to allow Clemson College to have
the total proceeds from a certain tax.
It is certainly true that the members
of the general assembly, which pass?
ed the act for the tax, did not antici?
pate such a large income. Judge Mc?
lver contended that euch large amounts
of money coming in, and when not
especially needed, furnished opportu?
nities for graft.
It Is more than evident that the
present operation of Clemson College
Is not giving entire satisfaction. In
fact it Is far from giving entire satis?
faction. We can appreciate why the
members of the general assembly
agreed to accept the Clemson bequest,
although it was fought at the time.
South Carolina did not have the mon?
ey with which to start an agricultural
and mechanical college and one was
needed badly and the only way to get
It at that time was to accept Mr.
Clemson's bequest.
The State of South Carolina is now
able financially to buy the college
property and turn the college Into a
State Institution and we believe that
It would be the very best thing that
could be done, then a satisfactory
board of trustees could be elected
that would give the president and the
faculty sufficient backing to maintain
order at the college.?Anderson Dally

Tili: llli.il SCHOOL LAW.
Confii>< ti Jumble lucupnblc of IntcUt?
gent interpretation.
The Obeerver hai been trying to
study out the high school law adopt?
ed by the State legislature, but it can?
not nmkt much out of It. it would
take a Philadelphia lawyer to tell
what it means.
Two school districts In this county
voted for high schools?Prosperity
and Lltle Mountain. Then Prosperi?
ty was told that it could not go It
alone, but must have another school
district with it; and she got Excelsior
to go in with her. They will probably
get the high school, but whether it
will be any different from the present
school remains to be seen. We be?
lieve it has not yet been decided
whether Little Mountain is to get her
high school or not.
We see, by the way, that the city
of Union is going to vote on the ques?
tion of getting a "high school" under
the act, though wc had understood
that no town of more than a thou?
sand inhabitants was to have any
part or lot in the matter.
The thing Is In a tangle?a crude
and undigested scheme, like a good
deal of other ill-considered legislation
?somebody anxious to do something
for the "dear people" and rushing in
to do it without knowing exactly
what he is doing.
If the fifty thousand dollars appro?
priated to the "high school" scheme
had been added to the common school
fund it would have done a great deal
more good than it will ever accom?
plish In its present mlxed-up shape;
or It might have been left In the treas?
ury to help keep down taxes.
The idea involved is wrong. It
looks like the scheme of a politician?
this matter of cutting cities and towns
out. It is utterly absurd to think of
I esablishing high schools in all the
I country school districts, or in any con?
siderable portion of them, without
bankrupting the taxpayers; and to
establish them in some and not in
others is simply unjust and unfair.
The school districts that get the
"high schools" may be at one end of
the county*?convenient of access to
those only who are already getting
the ordinary school advantages.
If there Is an honest and earnest
desire to establish high schools In
South Carolina let it be gone about in
a sensible way. The place for a high
school in a county. Is at the county
seat, where it would be convenient

amounts to excluding the county scats
entirely.
The best thing to do for this law is
to repeal It, and then, if anything Is
to be done in the high school line,

THE sl.NAToiu\L HACK.
Return of Mr. Latimer May Bring
Out Candidates?Opposition tu Im?
migration in South Carolina May
Become a Factor in the ligcc.
Columbia, Sept. '1.--Tin- return
./i Senator A. C. Latinvi horn K\\
rope may serve to open up the race
for the Senate next year. At this time
there are no entries at all.
The junior Senator is expected to
land in New York on Thursday of
this week, and he Is likely within a
few days to reach his home in Belton
?which, by the way, is one of the
finest homes in the South. His wife
and daughter are with him, as well as
his friend, Editor A. H. Carpenter, of
the Anderson Dally Mall, who,
through Senator Latirm r'l influence,
was appointed one of the secretaries
of the Congressional commission on
immigration, as a member of which
Mr. Latimer has been touring Eu?
rope at Uncle Sam's expense for the
purpose of investigating trie immigra?
tion question. And this same immi?
gration question may cut no small fig?
ure in the campaign of 1908 for the
seat in the United States Senate now
occupied by Hon. A. C. Latimer.
Despite the leadership that South
Caroljna has taken in the bringing of
immigrants to the South and the
prospect that through the ag?
itation of this" idea a permanent
steamship line may soon be estab?
lished from a European port to Char?
leston; despite the prospective com?
mercial development of Charleston
and the opportunity to secure a desir?
able class of settlers and laborers,
there is a great deal of opposition in
South Carolina, as in Georgia and
other Southern States, to the intro?
duction of foreigners in any large
numbers. This opposition has mani?
fested itself at different times during
the last four years that the matter
has been discussed in South Carolina,
and at the last session of the General
Assembly, as at previous sessions since
the establishment of the department
of immigration, an effort was made to
impede this movement by cutting off
the appropriation for the depart?
ment. This effort will be made again
at the session next January and will
come up during the campaign of next
summer. The Farmers' Union has
taken the leadership in announcing
its opposition to immigration, and
the union has a legislative committee,
or lobby, delegated to look after its
interests before the General Assembly.
Before he was appointed on the
Congressional commission an i b fort
hi we.nl lo ESurope the attitude of Sen?
ator Latimer on the Immigration Is
<n, was not very well defined and it
duo iiui understood ??.ut .-?
been at any time an ardent advocate
of immigration. During his trip he I
has kept the South Carolina pap? rs
supplied with more or less interest- I
ing accounts of his travels, and the
tone of these letters would seem to I
indicate that he' is not any more 1
friendly now to immigration than he
used to be. I
The Farmers' Union is very strong
!n his section of the State and partic?
ularly In his own county of Ander?
son, where many of the leaders in this
movement are his former political
and personal friends. It would sur?
prise no one, therefore, if the Senator
on his return, or next year , should
come out as an opponent of the Immi?
gration movement. I
However, Senator Latimer has nev?
er been considered an enemy of tin*
cotton mills, which are so numerous I
in his country, and the cotton mills
are heartily in favor of immigration.
They would like to see the State rep?
resented in the Senate, no doubt, by a
statesman who holds similar views.
Rut. as already' said, there Is as
yet no entry for the race with Senator
Latimer. A number of more or less J
prominent men have ben "mention?
ed." but none has come out to avow I
himself a candidate. The most near- I
ly certain aspirant for the place is the
Hon. D. S. Henderson, of Alken, who
made the race In 1902 against Sena- 1
tor Latimer. He has not publicly said
so. but it is understood to be his pres-1
ent intention to run again next year, i
He Will not, however, have the pleas?
ure of defeating Mr. Latimer without

The Drafting Season.
When the major league drafting
period expires the various classes of
the National association have their
innings at drafting as follows:
Class A between October 15 and
November 15.
Claas R between November 15 and
December 15.
Class C between December 15 and
January 15.
In each case the draft is limited to
two players per club at this senen
ule:
For players in Class B, $500 each.
For players In Class C, $.'{00 each.
For players in Class D. $200 each.
Full payment in each case must
be made at the time of the selection,
anu the drafting club thus at once
secures full title to the player. It Is
wisely provided, however, that "no
player can be drafted from one club
In any league, by a club of higher
classification, and turned over to an?
other club of the same league from
which the player was drafted."
On Sept. 25 of each year all clubs
must submit to the secretary of the
National commission for record and
promulgation their reserve lists.?

AFTER THE LUMBER TRUST.
Government Will Try to Break Up
the Combination.
Cleveland, Sept. 3.?Secretary of
the Interior James ft. (larfb Id, in an I
interview in hi- M >ntor h en- on his
return from ?? conference with Pr< i
deat Roosevelt, outlined the * Imlhls-J
tratlon's next gn t clash with the!
trusts.
The lumber trust Is to be the foe
with which the Roosevelt administra?
tion will measure swords, said Mr.
Garlield, who talked freely of the in?
tention to wage a campaign to pre?
vent combinations in restraint of
trade in the lumber industry, inti?
mating that prosecutions would fid
low in the effort to preserve the for?
ests and to abolish monopoly.
Mr. Garfleld said he would be ac?
tively Interested in the campaign, al?
though the real battle would be wag?
ed by the bureau of corporations of
the department of Commerce and La?
bor and by the Inland waterways
commission, headed by Representa?
tive Theodore E. Burton, of this city.
"Our observation," said Mr. Oar
field, "has brought to light that there
is a lumber tru^t. We have the in?
formation clearly and concisely show?
ing the guilty persons. Although 1
cannot say when the first action will
be commenced. I presume It will take
the form of an inquiry before the in?
terstate commerce commission. The
lumber business Is a national institu?
tion and one material Interest now
controls the lumber business."
"Who is that?" was asked.
Mr. Oarfield only smiled when
James J. Hill was mentioned, but he
remarked: "T will say that the Wey?
erbeusers. who formerly openly con?
trolled tin- market, are not out of it.
The Weyerheusers are a type among
the lumber-holders and still are, per?
haps, the largest owners.

Clares he has found to be his affinity.
Mrs. Barle acquiesced in the plan by
which she renounced her husband to
another woman, if she did not vol?
untarily enter into the agreement to
give him his freedom, and faced a
group of reporters and curious per?
sons on the steamer today with a
smile which gave no hint of any re?
gret at her part in the strange do?
mestic drama in which she is taking
the leading role.
Mr. and Mrs. Karle left their hom.
in Monroe together today and drove
past curious groups of townspeople to
the railroad station. There was a lit?
tle hissing as Mr. Karle boarded the
train, but it is doubtful whether Mr.
Earle heard it above the other noises.
Mrs. Earle, with her little son, Harold,
aged two and one-half years, who will
share her exile, reached the steamer
in advance of Mr. Earle and went at
once to her state room. Mr. Earle
arrived soon afterward and together
they appeared on deck to meet the re?
porters. They posed together for a
photograph, both smiling and appa?
rently content with the odd twist that
fate has given to their lives. Mrs.
Earle declined to make any statement
concerning it, but her husoand. who
seemed highly pleased at the atten?
tion he was receiving, said:
"Mrs. Earle is bearing up bravely
under the ordeal. This notoriety is
worth five years* work to me. We
I part with a full understanding, and
Mrs. Earle is as much agreed to it as
I am. I believe it is the right thing
to do."
Mr. and Mrs. Earle went to her
