ffi.df.u h\s whittfn hook. Said to Be Some "Hot stuff?Fehler Had Hum* Shadow tlleasc. There has been considerable talk la the State about the book that Mr. T i ' , i - c, of Atlanta. Is said to havs written and a great many people have come to the conclusion that h I wae a b'uff and they were in dsgposed to pay kny attention 10 the *tori*a ot the man from Atlanta The Times reporter ha? several times been told of tne book that Mr. Folder has written tut always under the seal of secrecy, but recently It hai come to the paper In a way that the reporter feeis at liberty to us*, that ftev. J. L. Harley, one of the most reliable men In the State, has seen the book and read enough of It to nake him alek. H?? has recently been In this section or the State and he has told a number of people of his reading of th?, book In the office of Mr. Felder, and that he really doee not believe that Cole Bleaee will be a candi? date for the governorship when this book cones out It has been pre? pared for use as an official document, and can be used In no other way without iftvlng the best opportunity la the world for prosecution for criminal ilbel. It hi understood that the commls elen couhl not use the evidence that they had against the governor, both an a senator from Newberry county and <n other ways, but that in an Investigating commission the story ae Mr. Felder has it can be used, and Mr. liarley says that it is the red hotter* thing that ever was put Into a book. It la alio understood from several sources, out none of tnem what might be called official, but the story la told In places that ught to be In? formed that Detective W J. Burns, the greatest detective on earth, has hoen trailing the governor, and that his report may possibly constitute a psrt of tho evidence that It* to be submitted to the committee of in? quiry In this Invetalgatlon. It Is thought that this book and the stories therein contained, will be a part of the testimony given by Mr. Thomas Felder at the Investigation. The story of the presence and work of Detective Burns In this State as the shadow of Cole L. Blense has been told to the Times twice under ths seal of "swear you won't tell." and once without that restriction, which removes all of the restrictions. If the attorney general or Mr. W. F. fttevenson. or sny of the others who have been sctlve In this matter km Columbia know anything about this matter they are as close as clams and It Is Impossible to get anything at all from them. If Mr. Felder has been working on ghee* lines he has been doing It at his own Instance and not at the In? stance of the wlndlng-up commis? sion, as eeeme very plain from these attempt* to get "a line on the Burns etory * It Is supposed some knowledge Of these stories prompted the editor of the New? snd Courier to suggest that Cole Is Blease might not be In the race for governor this summer. It is then unquestioned that Mr. Felder has a book and that it Is a red hot book, and that It does tell things on the governor, but that does wot mske the things that are told as ewawd as evidence in the court room. There is also a atory of a matter which might bring the governor into conflict with the United States au? thorities In the matter of the use of the malls, but that Is like a good many other things that are Just In circulation, and is probably not at all trwe. The contents of this book have been told of in various ways, but the Ttm*s has no reliable Information on that line. It Is expected that Mr. Felder will hm In Columbia on Thursday und that his evidence will he mo*t highly n> n national.?Florence Times. Why Is It Ilm?*. Florence Times.

The course in chemistry and geo? logy has heen replaced hy a new course in chemistry which will doubtless prove very popular. A course in architectural engineer? ing has been adopted. Thi3 course has long been desired by both the students and the faculty. The district and loc.il agents of the Farm Demonstration Workers and County Superintendents of Education will meet here on March 27, 28 and 29th. These gentlemen will be wel i coined, not only by the college but by the students who will be very glad to meet them and assist them in see? ing the college while they are here. The College will have an exhibit at the National Corn Exposition to be held in Columbia next fall. The students are greatly pleased that the College has advanced the price of board ono dollar and fifty cents per month. Heretofore, the charge for board (including room, light and heat) and laundry has been $7.50 only, while the same service at other colleges of like standing is ,on the average of $13.52 per month. This new rate will not be effective until next session. The receipts of the college from the sale of fertilizer tags is only 60 per cent of what they were at this time last year. Mr. E. W. Dabbs, President of the State Farmers' Union visited the col? lege recently. While here, he made an address on the subject of market I ing.

One small pupil astonished the claaa by stating that In a certain sec? tion of South America there were talking monkeys.
