From South Carolina.

L. A. CLINTON, "BQ. _

To the average person in the North
the political and social condition of South
Carolina is unknown. Those who think
they understand the situation thoroughly,
have in most cases obtained their inform-
ation from the newspapers, nearly all of
-which have grossly misrepresented the
true condition of affairs. As an illustra-
- tion of how misleading new spaper reports
“may be, the late “whiskey rebellion ”
may serve as a good example. Every
daily paper in this State, with but one
exception, is bitterly opposed to Gov-
ernor Tillman and the party in power,
and naturally gave a one-sided statement
of the affair. The papers throughout the

North obtained their ideas from the lo-

cal press and everything was greatly ex-
aggerated.

they would have enacted such laws as
were found necessary to msure their con-
tinuance in office. This the people of
this State did by their registration law and
system of. eight ballot boxes.

The registration law does not differ
materially from the same law in Michi-
gan. Certain dates are appointed for
registration and all must register on those
dates and must present their certificates
before voting. This law applies to whites
as well as blacks, and one changing resi-

dence must get a new registration certi--

_ficate. Upon the face of it this law would
“not seem to operate against the negro.
_ it is only. necessary, however, to under-
stand his nature to know that it will be
the means of disfranchising thousands of

them. A negro will never do anything

until the. last moment, and as a conse-
quence they all put off registering until
ithe last day allowed. Then they go ina
- body, with the result that but few have

‘time to register, and all others must wait -

aantil, the next election when the same op-
“eration is repeated, with probably the
Oo same. result.

lf the negro is duly registered, he then

has only to present himself at the polls, -

- show his certificate and deposit his ballot.
But bere he will be canght again unless
he exercises considerable care. Hight
ballot boxes are arranged on a table, and
each box is labeled with the name
of ‘the office, all ballots for which
mast be deposited in that box.
- Jot-is found in the wrong box it is thrown
out, i, e., fa vote for Governor is found
in the box for Secretary of State the vote
is lost. With such, an arrangement as
this it. practically secures an educational
franchise, as all voters. are required to
deposit their ballots unassisted. . ‘This re-
quires considerable. caré, and in this the
_ negro is deficient, with the consequence
| that many votes are thrown out. -

amatter of self. protection.

under the Jeadership of B.R. Tilknan,

ousted the aristocracy. from office, .and_
elected Governor Tillman and all the |
State officers. A leading issue of ‘this:

campaign was the establishment of an °
agricultural and amechanical. college as a.
separate institution from the State Uni- ©
versity. This was strongly advocated by
Governor Tilman, and upon his coming
into office steps were unmediately taken ._
toward the completion of Clemson Col-
lege. That there was a demand for this -
college is shown by the fact thai when ~
the college opened in July last, over 400 _
students were enrolled, and the present

session there are enrolled 375 students.

By the legislature elected through this
farmers’ movernent the famous Dispen- -
sary. Law was passed which provided for.
State control of the liquor’ traffic. This
law was always opposed by the cities,
but as strongly supported by. the rural
population, and was enforced by Gov-

ernor Tillman with all the power of the.

State. The recent trouble was caused by
the lawless element of the city opposing
the enforcement of the law. The press
allover the country has criticized Gov-
ernor Tillman for acting in a high-handed
manner, for taking | the law into his own
hands, and for inciting to murder and riot.
But in enfercing the Dispensary Law he»
was simply performing his duty; |
carrying out the expressed will of the |
majority of the people. ‘Though the law
has now been declared by the Supreme ©

Court of the State to be anconstitutional, 7

yet I believe it will be re-enacted by the ©.
legislature, that the objectionable features -
will be remedied, and that.it will prove —
the best method yet propose for dealing
with the liquor trathe.

Politically, this State is Democratic,
solidly Democratic. The great mistake »

The Populist party is rapidly gaining
‘ground. It seems that the time is not far
distant when the South and the West
‘shall be united on political issues. They
are the great producing sections of the
country, while the North and the East
are more the manufacturing sections.

‘In this connection it. may. be. well to
speak of the health question: It is true
that, in a small degree, the work tends to
keep up the health of the student, but
it’ would be far better to pay those who

ceal this, slaves were emancipated and
afterwards vested with the full rights of

It was about 1877 that the Swedish
scientist, Storch, first turned his attention.
to thts line of work. He assumed that
the butter aroma was due to the growth:

general way bacteria are divided accord-
ing to shape, as follows: Bacillus, rod-
likes coccus, a ball; and sferillum, cork-
screw or spiral. Those found in milk
are divided into those which render the
milk acid, and this acid formed precipi-
tates the casein of the milk; second those
which curdle the milk without rendering
it acid; and third, those which. have no
SAS, effect on the milk. “This does
not mean that they have no effect, Tor
they grow rapidly and produce various
odors, indicating that decomposition.
changes are going on in the milk. The
milk occasionally becomes slightly acid,
sometimes slightly alkaline, or sometimes
‘the reaction is not effected. In no case,
however, is the acid sufficient to curdle
the milk.”——-Conn.

i must. be borne-in mind that these
divisions are only general, that the dif-
ferent divisions often run into one an-
other, so that it is difficult to determine
to which class many of them belong.

The scientist, Hueppe, describes a spe-
ces . of bacteria, which he calis 4aczdles
acidi lactéct. Frankel says that while not
_allthe ordinary changes in milk are due
to.this bacillus, a majority of them are.

=Conn has not succeeded in finding ex-
actly: the same bacillus that Hueppe de-
scribes. as dacifus aceds facticz, but has dis-
covered some that produce pr actically the

' same-results.. This form of bacillus acts on

“the anilk sugar of the. milk or cream,-

converting it intelactic acid.. When, this

change is, stopped at the proper period,

the butter has the desired aroma and fla-
vor; af it goes too far, the daczles butrycus
- develops, producing butyric acid, carbon-
ic.acid: and hydrogen. :

Chris Hansen’s Laboratory, Little
Falls, N. Y., has recently placed on the
market a pure culture for ripening cream.
Itis a dry powder, which when placed.
in cream according to direction, produces
a flavor the market demands. Of course
if the cream, by reason of unclean uten-
sis or other cause, has become infested
with undesirable bacteria the more desir-
able ones will be choked out before they
have an opportunity to gain a foothold.

The average farmer can improve the

tosee ii gotoa college which has never held it be-

. Searcely a greater error in journalism could. OeCUE
than ‘that inthe Free Press for June.3, which states
that there has been a-bitter-feeling between M. A. C,
and. Albion,. owing to the result. of a foot-ball game
between the two colleges in Battle Creek, We have
fio record of such a game and have-no sense of such
an attitude towards Albion previous to very recent
days. Whatever bad blood there may have been
between the colleges is from a meaver vessel, In the
Albion College Pieiad for May 12 there appeared a
scurrilous article under the. head of athletics. The
editor in chief was asked by the editor.of this depart-
ment for an explanation of the same... A postal came
in a week repudiating all responsibility for what
appeared in the department of athletics,

The fallowing is as the offensive part appeared :
“Again Albion's base ball team loses, ‘but in the
defeat af last Saturday. the team is: prouder: than win-:
fing twenty games from M. A. C..cr Olivet could

-fnake them, as they have won the name-of playing the
finest game ever piayed on Notre Dame grounds, and
every university in the peat has met defeat on
the same held, Dak

“Wa a heip contrasting a game with Notre
Datie? “and also calling ap the games Albion has
played with the U. of Mi and UJ. of W., and the scrub
games that are played every Vear with M.A. C. and
Olivet, Albion never played with a team from a
school of equal ot higher rank than herself ‘but what
she demanstrated her ability to ‘play ball, and that in
a style equal to her opponents, ‘But it? seems, when-
ever Albion meets any of the small colleges: of this

- State, she not only plays in their -poor. and: Toose style,
but plays s0 much worse that she canriot. even win a

the head of score cards distributed through the crowd
only after several hours of delay during which time it
was hoped some move would be made on the part of
Albion towards a conciliation... . . =

At last the counsel of such men as iecone Mulhol-
land and White prevailed cust the following letter .
came to Mr. Rittinger :

AxEron, Mics. » June 4, 1894.
iiy, Ritienger, President Students? Association :

DzgAR SiR--It is with ao feeling of regret on the part
of Albion students that any ill feeling should occur
between our respective colleges, and it is with the
purpose of righting matters and offering an explana-

[| tion that we representative students of Albion write

this letter.

The article on athletics in the Pledad of May 12 is
no criterion by which the sentiments of our students
concerning the standing of M.A. ©. may be judged.

The past base ball record between M, A.C. and
Albion would indicate that Albion had no reason to
boast, and the atticle was written not to belittle M.
A, C., but solely for the encouragement of our own
team,

We regret its tone and hope perfect harmony will
soon be restored. . .

We cannot but rejoice that this. was done, The
‘Students’ Organization heartily. voted instructing the
editor of athletics to regard the letter as an apology
for and satisfactory explanation of the matter for the
appearance af which, it seems that one only, out of
