Junior and Freshman Classes Were on Verge of Leaving, but Better Council Prevailed. A tolephono message from Clem son Collego yesterday afternoon said that everything was quiet thero, but there was a good deal of bxoitemont yesterday morning. The Junior and Freshman classes mot Tuesday night and resolved to loave tho College yesterday morning in a body unless the faculty called for a meeting of tho trustees and had the entire Sophomore class, includ ing Cadet Thornwell, reinstated. Tho college authorities got wind ot what was going on and got Col. R. W. Simpson, tho chairman of the board of trustees, to deliver a talk to tho Btudents in ono of tho clnss rooms. Col. Simpson reasoned with them and finally persuaded them to defer action until the trustees held a meeting and took action. It is stated that thoro will not be a special mooting of the trustees, but that their next regular meeting will be held early in June. Col. Simpson has a great deal of influence with the students. The outlook nt Clemson, it appears to those conversant with the facts, ?8 tho culmination of a trouble which has been brewing ever since the opening of tho present session, and possibly longer. The students aro very bitter against certain members of the faculty nnd openly chango them with vacillation ano inconsist ency and unfairness in enforcing discipline. This feeling is not con fined to a few, students, but practi cally the entire body is involved. Col. Simpson, aided by otho- ool hoads, has succeeded in av> . ting further troubles for the present, but the mntter is not yet ended and it will requiro a thorough invcHtigation by the trustees to satisfactorily settle tho difficulty. The following are the resolutions adopted by the Senior and Junior cln8sed regarding the action of the Sophomores : SKN'IOK CLASS RESOLUTIONS. Whereas, the Sophomore class of Clemson Collego has decided to leave the school because ono of its mem bers has been trented most unjustly by tho faculty, inasmuch as he hns boon awarded for an offenso pun ishment that exceeds in severity that which has been inflicted for similar offences in tho past ; and, whereas, the action of thc faculty was taken in the face of cited ex amples establishing tho fact that such punishment was inconsistent with that awarded in previous analogous cases ; and, whereas, also, the Senior class fully and deeply sympathizes with tho Sophomore clnss in its final action : Therefore, be it resolved, That we commend tho members of tho Sopho more clnss for their high sonso of justice and for their heroic conduct. l?o it resolved, second, That wo believo they have acted from tho highest principles of honor. Ho it resolved, third, That each mombor of the Sophomore clnss bo supplied with a copy of these resolu tions in order that his relations and friends may know that tho Senior class, with a full knowledge of *\\o case nnd niter a careful considera tion, exonerate him from all censuro whatover. JUNIOR CI.A88 RESOLUTIONS. We, tho members of tho Junior class, do hereby resolve : First, That tho Sophomore claRS has been treated unjustly by tho faculty and that the steps taken by thom were taken in defense of their rights and honor. Second, That after carefully con sidering tho action of tho Sophomore clnss wo heartily commend cvory notion they have tnken. Third, That wo recommend tho Sophomore clnss on tho gentlemanly manner in which they acted on this occasion, and furthermore at no timo waa any member of tho class rash or ungentlemanly. Fourth, That a copy of theso reso lotions bo r?iven to each mombor of the Sophomoro class. - Anderson pnily Mail, May 1st. Offering - 26c. - . - - 25c. f cv Kind), - - -25c. 1ER SODA FOR 5C.

There is in the jail at Georgetown a nogro barber, John Brownfield, who has a sentence of death hanging over him, yet he may have to remain where he is for somo years before he will know whethor it is to be exe cuted or not, or before the State Courts can order its oxeoution. Tho case is a striking illustration of how the law may tic up a case. John Brownfield killed a white man in 1900 in Georgetown, and tho affair brought about tho riot trouble there, which caused tho Governor to send the militia there, and finally cost the State about $2,700. Finally the negro was tried and convicted of murder, and was sentenced to die at tho rope's end. His negro lawyer, Whipper, appealed to the State Supreme Court. Meanwhile the negro managed to escape from tho jail, but was too weak from tho con finement to run. He nras quickly recaptured and has been in tho jail eince. In the meantimo Sheriff Skinner died and tho present sheriff, Mr. MoKiethen, was appointed. Not long ago tho State Supremo Court sustained the Circuit Court and the negro was ordered resentenced. Be fore a day could be Bet for tho oxeou tion Whipper appenlod to tho United States Supremo Court, this noting as a stay 'of proceedings in the State Court. It is problematical when the oase will ever be readied in the United States Supremo Court. In tho meantimo the negro must remain in jail, and no further step can bo | takon until thc highest tribunal in the United Slate hears tho oase and hands down its decision. Tho fel low, it is said, has now completely recovered his health, and boars his confinement, which may last for several years, remarkably well. The oase is a most unusual one. State Superintendent of Educa tion McMahan is anxious to have as many publio schools as oan do so observe May 10 as Jefferson Davis Day, and on that day take up a col?, leotion for the Davis monument in Richmond. A vory attractive pro gramme has boen prepared. Talk About tho State Campaign. Now there are some who want the State campaign divided up iuto three sections. Senator Tillman's idea that there should be two dis tinot seotions of the oampaign me nagerie wa? bad enough, but now seme of the Congressional candidates thiuk that if they have to go around with the Senatorial candidates or fol low the State candidates, that they will not have a fair show and they want a distinot Congressional oam paign. So there it goes. If the old plan, whioh was bad enough, has to be ohanged, it might as well be ar ranged to let every one have a show and get up half a dozen side shows. One is abotlt as apt to attraot a crowd as the other. The whole primary campaigning system is getting to be a first-el ass humbug and the people will soon seo it that way and break up the whole business. Why it should take so muoh time for the people to find out all they want to know about the positions and reputations of their candidatos it is difficult to see, and about the only result of the heated oampaigns has beon to stir the pepple up and have them lose time and patience over politics. They could just as well watch their publio servants with fewer meetings and less agitation, judging from the result of the agita tion that has been had in the last ten years. The candidates, of course, will seo that the primary system is not interfered with and they will also try to got all the time they want to talk at oampaign meetings, but the time will come in tho sweet bye and bye when this will be ohanged, if not by tho roen who make up the conventions, by those who do the electing.-August Kohn, in Newe and Courier. A Cotton Picking Machine. A Jackson, M?BS., dispatoh says : "The first regular oontract ever made in the world to pick cotton by machinery was closed in Greenville a few days since and the first experi ment with tho machine will bo made on a plantation in Washington county next fall. A Pittsburg roan is.the inventor of tho device, and for the past ten years has been conduct ing ex pe ri in en ts in the vicinity of Greenville. Ile now claims that the device has been modeled on a practi cal working basis and feels confident that he will revolutionize the cotton picking industry in tho South. The machine, he admits, is valueless ex cept on the level uplands, low val leys and prairie grounds, but even if it should provo successful with this limit, its effect on the labor question in tho South will be very marked."

Women Clerks ot Washington. About one-third of ali employees in the government departments nt Washington are women. Several receive over $2,500 per annum, about fifty receive $1,600 per an num? 100 receive $1,400 per annum, 450 receive $1,200, 300 receive $1, 000, and the remainder receive from $600 to $900 per annum. The oivil service commission re cords for last year show that 8,083 women were examined for the vari ous positions oponed to thom under the civil service. Of these, 2,476 passed and 444 were appointed ; 1,351 of the applicants examined came under the head of "skilled labor." The most popular examination for women is that for stenographers and typewriters. "Good stenogra phers" is the ceaseless demand of the department official-not medi ocre, but good par excellence. Government work is well paid only when well done. In the third place, promotions are the reward of merit. A very striking illustration of this ooourred last winter whon a young woman was made chief of one of the divisions in the post office department, because she know more about the work ' of that particular division than any other employee in it. She receives a salary of $2,240, one of the best paid to any woman in the sorvice. Miss Thora Stejneger of the Smithsonian institution is another woman who is earning large wages. She is a Norwegin who has devoted her life to tho study of animals. Sho has charge of the classification of ali animals received by the Smith sonian, and many are the queer speci mens that she examines and labors with unerring <kill. Miss Estelle Reel, superintendent of Indian schools, does tho work and endures tho hardships that are sup posed to be the lot of men exclu sively. Tho poorest Indian schools on the far away frontier muBt be visited quite as regularly ag the fa mous institutions at Carlisle and Hampton. She has had many ad ventures, and not a few mishaps. Often she is obliged to drive for miles in a buckboard or on a rattliug stage coaoh, and camp all night on the open prairie-the rustling prai rie grass for a mattress, a Navajo blanket for covering, the star-stud ded sky for canopy, and a dear little revolver for company. Last year while fording a river in Indian Territory her wagon was upset and she was swept down stream for nearly a milo and a half and was rescued by a cowboy just as she was being whirled into some deep and dangerous rapids. No ono will say that this woman does not earn her $8,000 a year for traveling expen ses and subsistence. If Miss Heel could eat Uncle Sam's greenbacks and gold pieces, everything would bo comfortable, but thero aro Indian villages where all the "neoossary exponse" appropriations for the White House state dinner would not buy a square meal. Recently Miss Rool wrote a textbook for Indian schools which embraces every topic of educational training for the In dian student. Partios who interfere with tho mail boxes on tho rural routes or who improperly take the mail there from will be prosecuted in the United States Court. THE POISE Of a woman in perfect health attracts thc eye at once. Such a woman is all too rarely seen. The most of women bear scars of suffering on their fsces w dich no smiles can hide, and often in their very carriage betray the womanly weakness which oppresses them. There can be no perfect health for the woman who suffers from dis ease of the delicate womanly organ ism. Her general health is so inti mately related to the local health of the womanly or gans that these must be cured be fore the general health can be established.
