iTTi MOUNTAIN GETS GREAT PRAISE. Prof. Hand Tells of the Public Spir it of the People There in Build ing Their School. W. H. Hand, high school inspec tor, says the State, paid a high trib ute to the Little Mountain, school in Newberry county. He said: "Little Mountain in Newberry county furnishes one of the most remarkable examples of the value of determination and cooperation in school matters that I have ever seen. That- little village has nearly com -pleted a school building that would be a credit to any town or city in the State. "The building has six class rooms and am. auditorium. When completed it will be worth $7,500, and will rep resent a little more than one-tenth of all the taxable property in the' place. This building was awarded the first prize by the School Improve memt Association at the recent meet-! img in Columbia. "What this village has so willing ly done for its school ought to put some of the larger towns, and some of the cites, to shame. The old build ing which was torn down to make room for the new one was by no means first class, but it was as good as some iT. places unconcerned about new ones. "It might be well to add that Lit tle Mountain did not build a new school house by cutting down teach ers' salaries; in fact, the salaries of ithree of her four teachers were in creased this year."

RIGGS SLATED POR PRESIDENT Tzman Is Said to Be Supporting Professor for the Place. *Columbia, Jan. 16.-From good au thority it is learned that the head of Clemson is slated and will be Prof. 1 Riggs. It is said that he is Senator Tillman's choie'e and. Mr. Tillman will name him eventually, this in f spite of the fact that it was under s*od that being given the temporary chairmanship his name would not be considered for the presidency. It is gathered from members of the .board of trustees that many of their body would welcome the inves tigation proposed by Mr. Browning's bill as clearing the atmosphere and reestablishing the institution in the confidence of the people from which it seems to have departed lately.
