The Uoiirl HoltlN Thai Action Will Lie for Recovers of Damages, hut Sol for lntc?rfferent!c Willi Pro|?cr IS?Hopkins Cum? Reversed. Washington, May ?The United States supreme court, In an opinion rendered today by Justice Lamar, ro rereed and remanded to the lower courts ?i South Carolina the case of Dr, John Hopkins of Oconee county against Clemson College. Dr. Hop? kins If the owner of very valuable lands along the Seneca river, In Oc ? nee county. In his complaint he alleged that because of dykes con? structed by Clemson college the river hd been made t ? overflow his land. trees and banks had been washed away, and thai otherwise he had been damaged to the extent of 18,000. Act: ?n waa begun in the case on September L 1905, in the court of common pleas for Oconee. For de fens-- Clemson college sot up the plea I thai as its trustees were merely the Ingen s of the State of South Carolina, b tnce the college could not be sued Without the State's consent. This plea was upheld by the court of common pleas, and then the case Went to the , supreme court of the United States, I where the constitutional question of whether the truateea >f Clemaon col? lege were or wa re not the agents of I the State was the issue. Justice Lamar went thoroughly In ' to the case. He reviewed the condi? tions of the will of the late Thomas ! G. Clemson. the founder of the col re, which n >w bears his name, and moat especially the queation of wheth? er >r not the trustees are agents of tin State. The practical effect of the decision may be summed up in the foil-.wing language of Justice Lamar: "Plaintiff prayed not only for dam? ages, but thflt the embankments should be removed. The title to the land and everything annexed to the land 13 in the State, subject to the conditions named in tne will. The State, therefore, may be a necessary party to any proceedings which seok to affect the land itself or to move any structure thereon which has be? come a part of the land. 1 "It so. and unless it consents to be sued, the court can not decree re? moval of the embankment which forms a part of the State's property. But the prayer for that part of the 1 relief can be stricken out without de? priving the court Of jurisdiction to hear and determine the question i whether Clemson college is liable to ; plaintiff for its own corporate act in 1 building f-?r Its own proprietary and corporate purpoaes a dyke, which it is alleged damaged or took the plain tiff's farm, and if tin facta hereafter warrant It the college may be enjoined against further acts." Columbia, May 30,?Telegrams re? ceived in Columbia yesterday made known the fact that the supreme court of the United States had decided that Clemson college was liable for about $8,000 for damages alleged tn have been done on the lands of .1 din Hopkins of Oconee county. The Clemson college property is situated, in Pickena and Oconee counties, one i of the county lines running just op? posite the parade grounds. Se\ ?-rai years ago permissb n was obtained from the legislature for the, right to bring seit against the college by i>r. Hopkins of Oconee county, be-] cause of damage done to his land by dykes constructed by the college. A j legislative commission was apoptnted.j to investigate this case. and in the meantime the suit went through the usual course and the supreme court decided that the institution, being un? der State control, could not he sued except by consent of the legislature. Seven of the trustees of the college are life members, being named in the Clemson bequest. These seven mem- , hers constitute a majority of the board. The decision of the United States supreme court means that the majority members do not represent he State of South Carolina, and that the college is liable for a suit at any time, just as any corporation or in? dividual, without the necessity of oh- j taining permission from the State of South Carolina. The deciaion Is far-reaching In ef feit. It may have some hearing on the fertiliser tag tax, which brings to the Institution over $250,000 yearly; on the present agreement between Are what vou want to get at when you are buying jewelry.
