"Wednesday, June 2, - - 1S97, THE COLLEGE KOW. The conflict at the South Carolina College is a deplorable affair, and the people of the. State will sincerely regret that it happened. The facts, as published, briefly stated are these: Col. Wilie Jones obtained written permission to ust the college athletic field to held t e inspection of the ? - - - * ?5 il. r* liichiand voiun eers ana tuu uruvMinors Guards, 1:0 two military companies of the ci y of Columbia. Col. Jones in asking for permission stated that he wanted ine grounds for the afternoon oi the 2Gth of May. President "Woodrow consented, but stated that the military must not march over ->F Ifpnniid; irr'riirh lia/1 III'J Vlll L \Jl tllb ^ ? vunvi^ ?r . ueeii prepared by the students for piajing bfsebali. The inspection was postponed. In the meantime Dr. "WoodrowLad left the city, and Prof. Sloan was acting as President. The students applied to Prof. Sloan, the acting President, for the use of the grounds to play a match game - of bill on Friday afternoon, 2Sth of May. Prof. Sic an granted permission as a matter of course, and it may be added that be did not know that tbe military company expected to use them. Having learned through tbe newspapers thai the military expected to use them, he went out on the grounds on Friday, saw Adjutant and Inspector General Watts, bad a conversation with him. informing him that he bad given the students permission to play a match game 01 oaii. uenerai ?vsus iuum^ied that the grounds belonged to the Staie, to which Prof. Sloan replied: "Yes, to the State for the college.'* General Watts then mentioned ihe fact of permission having been granted by President Woodrow. Prof. Sio&n said that he had not been informed of this permission, but added the grounds were large enough for both, and requested General Watts to hold his inspection on the east side. Chzp.ni crates teai "this interview was perfectly amicable. Prof. Sloan thought the matter was all arranged; so did the students. efofT frsnL (41 TT iiio okMu ivvi\ uuv A* p;>siiion near iLc third base." A ball struck Major Evans' horse. The students apoligized, saying it was au accident, but Watts got mad, and ordered the grounds cleared. The result was that a policeman was badly beaten, one of the students perhaps fatally injured, and Prof. Davis painfully, though not seriously, hurt in attempting to make peace. Who was to blame? Who had -the right to the grounds? General Watts stated that i ley belonged to the State. So they do. 'out as Professor Sloan very propeily said, "to the State for the College. This is declared by an act of the Legislature. The college authoritias are tae custodians of the buildiags and grounds; -no one, not even the Adjutant and Inspector General, with i>r> uniform and brass buttons and t-v.ord, had anj right there, without ihe consent of tbe proper authorities. Still less right had he to order tbe grounds cleared. He went outside of the scopc. of his .inr.horitr. aud the students when at tacked had a legal right to meet blow Willi blow. From the statement of facts published, it was a plain act of self defense on their part. If it be granted that simply because General Watts holds a high military office he can violate the personal rights of pri vale citizens, wLh Impunity, tii?n it I wouid be well to abolish the militia { a? a nici ace to the peace and good order of the Suste.

Ex-Post master Gener-i U'utiamaker * - - ,1 has made some of the Uepub:ican icuu-i ers mad by toiling' the truth. Had a Populist or Democrat used the language employed by Wanamaker it ?.?i/i hn-pp been noticedj but \\ UU1U uv/i . w passed over merely is o:;e of the acts of a violent partisan. The Republican party went into power upon the express and unmodified promise shit it would bring prosperity. Here is the language of Mr. Wanamnker so full of woe, hopelessness a:;d despair: "The country is not prosperous. Since the ou'set of the last pre^iinitial cim paign the parry press ami polilival leaders generally fixed the Xovtmber election of 1896 as the da:e or' the betim? a In!] half of vi JJVVU biutvwt the year has expired since the u 5 1 ol the Republican party was declared. Thus far but one cf the important issues of the campaign is nearing settlement, and hardly any noticeable improvement of the wretched times is mauifest/' "I confess,'7 continues Mr. Wunamaker, "that live years of listening to a steady stream passing uuuu^n uuo office with their tales of woe, stifll-rlij?r and starvation haw; worn upon me, and I confess, nlso, that I am a!ai mod by the increase in the mini has uf that procession." These are senons words, and it is easily seen on rtadii'jr th?m that they are uttered af:er thought and deliberation. Coming'as thev do from a man like VVanamaker th'jy deserve s.-iious thought and reflation The strange part of it to us is that Mr. WanamoL-Pv dnpi not realize that th"> policies of the Republican party in tlie past are largely responsible for "the increase in ihe numbeis of thai procession," 'Meliing their tales of woe, suffering and starvation," until tiie constant repetition of the tides of misery has worn Mr. Wanamaker. The billion dollar Congress, the tver increasing expenditure of the people's money to deplete the treasury so that a false alarm may be raised that the Government needs more revenue, and upon this falsehood tax these same people going through Mr. Wanamaker's cfSce for the purpose of cnriching the rich, have all tended to increase the number. It was openly charged, and some sirong evidence was produced to prove it, that John Wanamaker himself, this same man who now sees so much calamity in the country, contribu:ea a large sum of n ouey to elcct President Harris on. Mr. Harrison was elected, and John Wanamaker was made Postmaster General. The Harrison ad" ? 3 ministration undertook ttie very nara task of disposing of the surplus. This ci'fficult undertaking was accomplished, and immediately the Barrison administration began to tax the people to put more money in the treasury. It has since been discovered that tlji.same admiuistratian a few monhbefore it turned the Government over to Mr. Cleveland's administration found the gold reserve was dwindling and ordered plates for ihe issuing of bonds. If a surplus was a dangeroivthing why should the people have been taxed to pnt more money in the treasury? If the Harrsou administration found it nececsary to prepare lor issuing bonds to maintain the gold reserve when the country then had exceedingly high, tariff duties, how do they expect a high tariff now to do what it would not h^n accomplish? "Thus far but one of the important issues cf the campaign is nearing settlement," says Mr. Wanamaser. This j issue is of course the tariff. And if Mr. Wanainaker expects taxation to make a people prosperous, lie will find himself in worse despair than now. "The beginning of good times" will move farther and further from us. SENATOR McLAUKIX. Governor E lerbe has formerly commissioned Congressman Joh;i L 1 * r ' ? V,1 t-rx Qniiofnr MCJuaimu tu tuuctu iuc Earle. Mr. McLiurin will serve as Senator until (he Legislature elccts a Senator. It is presumed ibat a primary will be held in (he meantime to nominate a candidate.

Mr. McLaurin when the campaign of 1590 began soon developed into ' one of the strongest, intellectually, among the Reformers. lie was among the first to revolt against bossism, and has had the brains to fight this evil. He has identified himself with "the new movement" towards the obliteration of factional lines, aud from Governor illerbe's standpoint. be was. perhaps, logically the man to succecd Earle.

I was mistaken; there were nine brothers; five of them arc buried in the Feasterville burial ground. The people of this section regret to hear of the recent death of Senator F.nHfi. Since last September ex Speaker Crisp, Daniel W. Yoorhees and Joseph H. Earle have succombed to the invincible adversary who disarms alike the illustrious statesman and the obscure citizen. The Democratic party can ill aSord to lose the services of such eminent men. Mr. Voorhees took the oath of office as a Congressman on the 2ad of July, 1S6L He retired from public life March 4,1897-a period ot thirty-six \cars in the National House of "Rep""" * - XI resentatives. vooraees was uuieu xui his brilliancy and eloqaence. The writer had the pleasure of hearing him deliver an address in 1S8S at Spartanburg, S. (J. Rarely, if ever, have I been more favorably impressed with a public speaker than I was on that occasion. With a voic? exceedingly rich in it? varied ttrains of music, ranging from the deep notes of the organ to the stirring call of the bugle, with a familiar 4and inflating grasp of the subject at issue, he entered ? ? trained gladiator in the field of oratory. Few men in America have filled a larger space in the public eye than Daniel W. Voorhees, of Indiana. Charles F. Crisp was the child of poverty, ttIio by bis own peroonal assiduity rose from poverty and obscurity to the second highest position in the gift of the American people. On the first Monday in December, 1S63, lie took the oath of office as a member ot Congress from tbe state of Georgia, and soon became to be the greatest parliamentary leaders in the ~ on/1 aii thf> firuf Lemuel auo paii/j, auu vi-1 luu ?, Monday in December, 1891, he. was elected Speaker of the House While in Washington, in 1894, I visited the capiiol several times to witness the proceedings of the House and Senate.! There I saw Judge Crisp presiding over the deliberations of Congress, the greatest deliberative body cf representative men in the world. Just as Mr. Voorhees laid down the senatorial toga Josepn 11. Jtarie aonuea it and assumed the responeibe functions of a national law-maker which Mr. Voorhees had simultaneously re-, linguished. That demonstrates very clearly that mankind in a tempora'l sense is like a piece of machinery, a vehicle for instance, after having been used for several years it becomes worn our, is laid aside and a new one bought to take its place. So it is with man, just as he lays down the official harness or drops by the wayside, another is lormed who is prepared to .ake his place as a new born babe is ushered into the world to walk in his footsteps, view the same sights and run the same race that his predecessor has run. So it has been for time immemorial, and will concinue to be for ages illimitable and a people innumerable. Senator Earlc did not have an opportunity to display the great talents that he no doubt possessed. Had life been spared him he would have perhaps demonstrated those rare gifts of *J 1 1 - - wKlrtVl V?.Q imciiecmiii atLttiuLLit:ui.6 mm nuxuuuv had been boantifully supplied, and would have been instrumental in helping to uphold that high standard of American statesmanship for which oar people are so much noted. The iamiliar phrase of Senator Earle, "I am a Democrat," met the approval of our people regardless of factions. His disposition to sabmit to the will of a majority of oar people, and his support of the regular Demo era tic nominees, the approval and admiration of the people throughout the State. As a reward for nis J ability and consistency he was elected j a circuit jad^e, and elevated t j the j united States Senate' which is indeed a very ins<h honor. If called npen to name the characteristics of these men that were most instrumental in elevating them to these exilted p >siiijns, [ would say, sincerely, the c >ur>?gc of their convictions coupled with a superior intellect.

Mr. Editor: There are all kinds of amusements and attractions to be had and found in this noted as well as thriviog little city.

We put up at the Central Hottl, IXo. 131G, corner of Congress and Washington streets, where we got exceedingly good accommodations; and would ad vice all wholesale drummers who ha re a strictly thorough kuowledge of their business to call at Ho. 131G, on said corner, to take an active part in the debating society which generally meets in the afternoon about S. o'clock and continues until about 11 o'clock. I don't mean one who sells commercial commodities, but one who di-ais gently auu wiseiy 111 expressions 01 ?>t-i mm and one who is more specilio n> i.iher line of business than a eotuumvLl drummer.

You can sit on the verauda and see the lighted lanterns which havu great rtfieciing powers, and hear the musical ringiDg of the bells something less than v. mile up or down Main street; then next you hear tbe social gabbing as they pass wheeling: their way on to fome of the important side streets, I suppose for the purpose of letting their lantern lights shine more. Main'strcet being so well lighted that tbe cycle lamp does not have any showing whatever?it is but as a pearl to a diamond. There are one or more gas tanks in or near the city I believe. The street cars were not running; don't allow any running ot' cars on Sunday. There is some talk of putting in set of modern water works, connected with an artesian well, the purposs ot' whicN is to get more and better water.
