Tho Furman-Clomson baso ball game failed to take placo at Clemson College Wednesday afternoon. Tho faculty of Clemson refused to allow their team to play tho Furman giants on grounds of technicality. Tho Furman Club left Srcenvillo in tho morning nt 11:515 o'clock, accompanied by about sovonty-fivo. students and outsido supporters of tho team, who expected to witness what doubtless would havo boon one of tho best gaines of tho season. After thc Greenville boys reached Clemson tho Clemson team refused to play Furman with Lanham as a member of the team, claiming that he was receiving money for his services. This was proved to bo untrue, and still tho Clemson team refused to play. DR. MONTAGUE TALKS. President A.P. Montague, of Fur man University, made the following statement : "1 wrote to thc President of Clem son in reply to a letter from him, Btating that tho team was vall right, I deem it a very poor compliment te my word that they should have acted as they did." CAPT. KICE'S VIEW Ol' IT. Capt. Blair Hice, of the Furtnat team, said : "The only reason I can give foi Clemson not playing our team is thai they were afraid of us, ami in ordei to avoid a contest, they got out of ii on technical grounds. '?Manager Hill, of thc Clemsoi team, was in Greenville Tuesday am entered a kick against two of oui players, MoTcer and Everett, claim itig that they bad enten d college to< late for the ball season, according t< tile rules of tho South Carolina Inter collegiate Athletic Association. Tho objection was removed and Mr. Hil was satisfied and willing to piny Before returning to Clemson, Tues day afternoon, Mr. Hill said, 'If yoi do not hear from mc by 8 o'clock ii the morning come' "Next morning no telegram cairn and tlic team naturally supposed th a everything was all right, and begin preparations for the trip. Upon ar riving at Kasley thc following tele gram was received from Clemson 'Impossible lo play. Take 1.16 trail at Kasley or Liberty for Greenville Tho team, however, decided to g on to Clemson and find out thc trou ble. "After we bail been on tho ground for some time, thc Clemson team, n a last resort, objected to Lanham, oi thc grounds that ho was roccivin money for his services as a base ba player at Kurraan. This objeotio was altogether groundless and vcr, childlike, as it is positively not tru that Lanham is receiving mono} Thc Clemson team was told this, bu still they refused to play. The very kindly offered, however, to pla; us ii wc would remove Lanham froi thc team, but this, wc refused to d< as by his removal our team woul have been materially crippled. "To sum up tho entire, altair, said Capt. Hice, "thc object of tli Clemson team seemed to bo to cr i pp] (?ur team and then jump on us wit spikes in their heels and willi thc hired players make an effort I defeat us." CLEMSON'S SIDE OK TUE MATTER. Thc following statement is doti son's side of the affair gi veil by Mai ager Hill : "According to the rules of the I C. I. A. A. n man who has play? ball for money, unless in college, cai riot play on the college team, nor Cl n nillfl who enters college thirty da; of tho opening play in inlercollogiu games. The Furman team could n comply with these regulations; thor fore Clemson, being a member of tl Association, could not play her. Tl authorities at Clemson did not koo whether the Kurman leam could coi ply willi these requirements or tu until the team arrived. In fact, sin thc Kurman authorities hud bei notified by President Hart/.og th thc game could not be played utile these conditions were complied wit it was taken for granted that ti team would not come unless it w intended to comply with these rub Clemson was anxious to play t game, but could not do so wit ho violating her pledge to the associ lion." A CONFLICT OF VIEWS. Clemson College, April 17.-T Clemson-Kui -man game was call off. Kurlnftn could not qualify und tho rules of the State Intercollegir Association. Clemson, as a merni; of thc association, could not pl without violating their pledge.

It appears that experienced Demo cratic Congressmen, having grown weary of trying to obtain Federal patronago for their constituents under a Republican administration, have hit upon the rural freo delivery service as an avenuo to tho public crib. Every limo a now rural free delivery route is established the Con gressman making tho request is usu ally accorded thc privilege of nam ing thc person who is to perform thc delivery service. Theso delivery agents or carriers receive a compen sation of $000 a y^ar for service, in cluding horse and wagon. In some parts of the United States $500 a year is regarded as a salary worth striving for. A prominent post office ofiicial, in commenting upon this subject, said : "You would bo surprised to know how hungry Congressmen in certain States are for these little places. In almost every instance they manage to bestow them upon some member of their immediate family or some near relative or personal friend. If I wanted to assemble family parties in ce."tain States I would at once go to the official records of thc rural free delivery service as my directory. I have in mind ono case where a member of Congress had his son ap pointed as a special agent to recom mend the establishment of a new route and post office. Thc post office was named after tho Congressman and the postmaster is a member of the same family, so that his family name figures in four separate trans actions. This is but one instance. I might mention many others of a similar nature. As a rule thc South ern Congressman keeps this class of patronage strictly within tho family circle."-Rx tract Washington Letter.
