Faculty and Students Will Now Act With De liberation-Col. Simpson's Statement. [Charleston News and Courior] Anderson, May 2.-Col. It. W. Simp son, President of tho Hoard of Trustees of Clemson College, was boro yesterday, and as ?ho rooout disturbance at tho College is '-ill a matter of intonso inter est this correspondent wont to him in his ofllco and asked him if ho could givo him any further statement couooruiug it. "In tho first placo," said Col. Simpson, "I want to say that tho statement sont out by the Anderson correspondent of Tho NOWH and Courier gavo tho facts vory cloarly and accurately, and I want to commond tho paper for its fairness and impartiality. Thoro is very littlo diftoronco botwoon tho faculty and the student hedy ns to what aro tho facts. The principal diiTcr ouco is to tho measuro of punishment imposed upon Cadet Tbornwoll, the class claiming that tho action of tho fac ulty was partial and too severe. Tho by law?} give to every studont tho right to appeal to tho Hoard of Trustees from tho finding of tho faculty in any caso when tho st udont is dissatisfied. Cadet Thorn well did not appeal, as ho had a right to do, nor did his class complain to tho Trustees of tho action of tim faculty. I lenee there wore no grounds to justify mo to call an oxtra mooting of tho Trus toes. '.I am unable to answer your ques tion," ho continued, "as to what will ho tho probable action of tho trustees in regard to reinstating tho sophomore clnss. These young mon woro not dis missed from tho college. They had a right to leavo whenever thoy saw proper. They exorcised that right and if they now wish to return they will naturally petition to that end. "Should they seo proper to petition tho trustees to receive thom back. I have no doubt but that the heard will oxtond to thom every consideration that tho gravity of thc situation and a duo regard to discipline will permit . .'Yes, I fully recognise tho grnvity of tho situation, and it appeared to mc, when 1 left tho college Tuesday night, that Clemson Coll?ge was tottering on the brink of a terrible misfortune from which it would bc impossible to recover for many years. 1 was informed that tho Junior class would leavo on Wednes day or as soon as possiblo and that tho Freshman class was to follow soon after. Happily, however, this action was averted, and I can safely say thero will ho no further trouble. These two classes are loyal to Clemson and will tako no rash or hasty action calculated to bring reproach upou tho collogo, but will sub mit their grievances to tho board of trustees at its regular nu oting in Juno next. They readily responded to advice and counsel when I appeared beforo thom In accordance with their request for nie to meet with them. "It would not bo proper for mo to ox press an opinion as to tho merits of tho controversy, but, this much I can say now, that both tho faculty and tho stu dents realize tho gravity of tho situation and may bo depended upon to aot with prudence and deliberation In tho future. I will say further that in my honest opinion much of tho tronido now existing originated from misapprehen sions which could have been averted by mutual explanations. "Clemson College is a new institution. As yet it has no past record to appeal to, and both time and the utmost skill are required to build up a high-toned, manly spirit and to nianago so largo a number of students. There is no man who has moro varied and difficult duties to per form than President Hart/.og. If ho has failed to givo satisfaction, and this fact made to appear, no persuasion could in duce him to hold for a day longer tho important position which bc now occu pies." Col. Simpson said that tho trustees, at their regular meeting in Juno, would tako up thc matter and tako such action as appeared lo bo thc host. The sopho mores would bo heard, it they desire it, and, ho said, lie hoped they would ap pear either as a body or by committee and state their grievances fully so tho trustees would liavo knowledgo of all tho facts. In conclusion Col. Simpson repeated what he has said on every occasion since the trouble occurred, that ho had noth ing but sympathy and the kindliest feel ing toward tho sophomore clnss, but that they had made a great mistako and that, he had no doubt they now realized it. Tho whole trouble could have been averted if they had been less hasty and had asked for counsel and ad vico beforo taking thc rash step. Whooping Cough.

Says the by M tem has Bean u?*-\erte< Tillman U the Chief Man In Coi Form of Oath that Shut r Washington, May 4.-Dudor date of May 8, Senator McLauriu, of South Caro Hua, has issued the following address to tbe people of South Carolina: "My Follow Citizens of South Carolina: The groat doctrine of representatives' re sponsibility is the foundation stone upon which our republic rests and no one more keenly than I recognize his account ability to the people of South Carolina for all olllcial acts. At-the same time no people who insist that their repre sentatives adhere to polite al policies and traditions loug since dead and declare thom vital issnon aaa ?ver become truly great. Every advancement in the. his tory of our race has bean the direct result of independence of thought and action. In most of the States of this Union this is secured by the presence <f two politi cal parties, and the resultant discussion of overy public quest ion beforo the peo ple who aro thus onabled to form an in telligent opinion and give a verdict at the ballot box. Unfortunately, in South Carolina, for nearly forty years wc have been unablo to have two partios, foi >ar of negro dominion, and for ten years after the Hampton revolution in 1870, our people took no interest in publio attain,, boyond maintaining a 'white man's government.' About the year l???, however, bogan what was known as tho farmors' movement, which was nothing more than an instinctive effort on the part of the people to preserve the principio of solf-government. With Shell, Irby, Norris, Tillman, Donaldson and others, I contributed what I could to ward its success, simply because I felt that agitation was bettor than stagna tion and it is passing strange, in that connootion, that the loador of that move ment, H. R. Tillman, was then donouncod, as I am now denounced, for attempting to Mahouoizo tho State. Tho froodom of thought and action, however, whioh fol lowed the farmers' movement, oponod tho doors for overy white man and overy negro who voted for Hampton in 1870 and thoy could advocate whatever views thoy cared to nxpross, provided only that they took an oath to support tho nomi n?os of tho primary election. Mon who voted tho National Republican ticket woro allowed to voto in the primary for Stato and oounty. officers, and I have hoard from tho same platform mon claim ing to bo Democrats advocating Cleve land and the gold standard and others Woavor and free silver. Since thou no attempt has ovor boon made to excludo those who bolted with tho independent Haskell movement, tho Populist move ment or tho Republican Pope movement, "I was elected to Congress in 1892 aftor a hoatod canvass against ablo opponents, and yot on overy stump in tho dist rief 1 proclaimed my independence and an nounced that upon all national questions I would follow my own judgment, and not bo bound by tho caucus of any party. Although my Democracy was assailed at that time, I was elect ed four times upon tho same declaration of principios. Car rying out my pledges to tho peoplo I began a systematic study of the ques tions of the day with tho result that I changed my viows upon many of thom. Tho first marked difference with my party associates arose over tho tariff question while I was in the House and a momber of its Ways and Moans Commit tee. Again, in 1807, when I was a can didato for tho Senate, I was charged with being a Kopublioan, but I disregarded tlio characterization and resolvedly con tended that the policies which I advo cated wero for the material advancement of tho President, regardless of how thoy wero labeled. My attitude was indorsed by 80 per cont of thoso voting in tho pri mary and I carno to tho Sonnte. "Tho issues growing out of the Span ish war widened tho broach botween myself and tho D?mocratie party leaders, for 1 could only follow tho dictates of my conscienco and stand by American soldiers fighting upon a foreign soil. At that timo tho war was not a party ques tion, and I hoped it would not booomo so. In this I was disappointed and was soon confronted by the alternative in rei i acing' my stops or finding myself in opposition to a majority of tho Demo cratic party loaders and exoludod from their caucus. I concluded that not even a seat in tho United States Senate was worth a surrender of my convictions and that opinion is unchanged. There is not a speech or vote of mino upon any ques tion growing out of tho Spanish-Ameri can war that I would chango, ovon if I could, aud in which I do not tako pride in thus proving my loyalty to my coun try. "I have over maintained this indopond onco of thought and action. Last sum mer, recognizing my responsibility to the people, there being no campaign in tho Stato, I announcedtny intention of going boforo them for tho purpose of discuss ing these national issues. I waa imme diately and violently assailed for advo cating Republican doctrines and branded as a Republican in Democratic disguise. Tho Stato Democratio Kxeoutivo Commit tee met, and, und or tho dictation of my colleague in the, Senate, formally declared that I was not a Democrat, whioh formed tho basis for similar action on tho part of tho Democratic caucus of tho United States Senat e. Since that time the war against me has boon persistently wagod. Thu policy of my opponents has been to belittle tho real ?SSUOB into a 'personal quarroi betwoon Tillman and McLaurin.' This issue I am not willing to accopt, as I do not propose to bo inti mumed in my ?eddie, course by personal spleen or petty ealousy. Tho public interests should nevor bo subordinated to purely personal ends. "Now tho proposition of my politioal onomios is to exclude mo from the pri mary as a candidate and to excludo all candidatos for ofHco who entertain my viows and thus provonl .he peoplo from hearing mo and from hearing thom in justification of my course ano in advo cacy of tho absorbing publio measures now confronting tho Amorlean peoplo. I nm absolutely convinced and forewarned of this purposo to exolude me and my frionds, because. I have rend tho speech of Sonator Tillman, tho acknowledged dictator of the Democratic machino of South Carolina, dolivered at Manning, in which ho directs a revision of tho rules and form of oath of the party for the purposo of excluding mysolf and friends from participation in the primary. I resent tho suggested exception of mysolf, for, of ci eu sc, I would not mako my race for the Sonate or proclaim my viows under conditions which wore not equally applicable to those who entertain and advooato my views. I have an abiding faith that it will yet be shown that the dictator of the machine is not tho expo nent of tbe viows of the majority of our people. "The primary systom adopted in our State, through tho farmers' movomont, has boen prostituted and perverted into a political machine, for the pm pose of excluding all candidates who are not in full accord with tho viows and wishos of tho dictator. The vital question, there fore, is, Will the pooplo of the State sub mit fo this political tyranny and join in this mindy and unpatriotic work of dis franchising tho intelligent pooplo and e ? eluding, them from our elections? "With snob a system I have no sym pathy and foel Impelled by a strong sonso of duty to warn tho people against such tyranny as it ou?Ourages and establishes. With these facts bofore me, and my convictions as to the original purposo of the primary sys tem, I am drivon to the conclusion that it has subserved its purposes and has outlived its usefulness. It is, there fore, a matter of no ooncern to me what may ho tho action of tim May oonvontion as to tho rulos of the primary and a i evisioi of its pledges. "Tho suppression of froo speech and independence of action in voting by t "h means renders it impossible for ai respecting citizen holding my view o become ? candidate in the Domocratio il Into a Politic?! Machine and that titrol- Says Tillman Prev Ibed lim and His Friends Out. primary in South Carolina. It is appar ent that the system has been warped and twisted so as to serve the one pur pose of throttling free speech, free thought and liberty of action. The pri mary system io South Carolina has been sacrificed upon the altar of partisanship and personal malignity, and has. there fore, become unpatriotic and useless and should be ignored and finally repudiated by our people, with a purpose similar to my own, to look hopefully to the results of a fair and just general eleetiou under our State and National laws. "A party yoke has been placed upon our people, and it has beeome too galling for further endurance, and yet I realise thst many of my loyal friends would even once more hold in oheek their t. so lution not to again enter our system of {?rimary election in order to again vote or me, but I bave reached the point where I will not subject them to sub scribing to an oath to support men and measures whioh do not represent their views upon the issues facing the Ameri can people to-day. Respectfully, "John Lowndes Mid,au lin." A Gentle Hint. In our . lyle of climate, with its sud den changes of temperature-rain, wind and sunshine often intermingled in a single day-it is no wonder that our chil dren, friends and relatives are so fre quently taken from us by neglected colds, half the deaths resulting directly from this cause.

Former Greenville Man Charged with Bigamy In Georgia-Now Awaits Trial. Toccoa, Ga., April 30.-Claude E. Chap man, of Greenville, S. C., waa to-day sout to tho county jail to await tho next torm of tho Superior Court, charged with big amy. Chapman is a young man about 24 years of ago, and first appeared in Toccoa about a month ago as a fruit tree agent. Soon after ho came boro his wifo appeared and thoy spout two or threo weeks together at a boarding house. During this timo, whilo Mrs. Chapman was still in Toccoa, Chapman was pay ing considerable attention to MissGussio Lovell, the daughter of G. H. Lovell, of this place. For Homo reason Mrs. Chapman re turned to South Carolina to Chapman's father's last Tuesday, April 23. On the samo day Chaproau roquostod of Mr. Lovell tho hand of his daughter, Miss Gussio, in marriage. Mr. Lovoll replied that ho could not consent to the mar riage until he could learn something of tho mau who desired to marry his daugh ter. Two days later, Thursday night, Chapman proourod a license, went to the residence of Rov. W. S. Whitmire, accom panied by Miss Lovoll, and thero tho twain woro made ono. Thoy roturned to Mr. Lovell's, when they romained until tho noxt morning. During tho day Mr. Lovoll hoard that Chapman had intro duced a woman in Toccoa. as his wifo, and had livod with hor horo for sevoral weeks. Ho at onco had Chapman ar rested. Mis. Chapman No. 1 was notified that her husband was in serious trotiblo in Georgia. Sho at onco carno to seo him, thinking that sho could bo of souio help to him in tho trouble. No ono boro know whether they woro really husband and wife. When Mrs. Chapman No. 1 arrivod sho mot a vory cold reception at the hands of hor husband. Finding that she woulr1 bo tho means of sonding him to prison if sho remained in Georgia, sho made hor visit vory short. Mr. Lovoll without dolay instituted a search for ovidenco of tho South Carolina marriage. This was no oasy task, as in that Stato no record of marriages is kopt by tho county authorities. Aftor threo days it was ascertained that tho marriage ceromony was performed in Greenville county by Rov. j. P. Attaway, who is now stationed near Bickens. Mr. Attaway could not bo reached in time to try Chap man boforo ho could domand a release. Mr. Attaway's little daughter, Bertha, 13 years old, who witnessed tho ceromony, which was a privato ono, wns induced to como to Georgia to furnish tho ovidenco. She arrived boro this morning, accom panied by her auut, Miss Rosa Attaway, of Williamston, S. C. When Chapman found that sufiioiont ovidenco was at hand ho waived trial and was sont to jail in dofault of bond. Chapman has all along maintained his innocence, saying that although ho was living with Miss Julia Jacobs, wifo No. 1, he was not married to her. Chapman and Mrs. Chapman No. 1 aro both of good family and aro well known in Green ville county, South Carolina. Chapman is a young man of prepos sessing appearance, nnd made a good im pression upon tho pooplo of tho commu nity. He drosses well, and it now devel ops that ho owns a oonsidorablo amount of proporty in South Carolina. Mrs. Chapman No. 1 is a very modest woman; and while hero with Chapman remained at her boarding bouse, and it was not generally known that he had a wife with him. When asked if ho did no-.know that ho would got into t roulile by marrying a second timo, Chapman replied that ho bad lived in many States and lind a dif ferent wifo in evory Stato in which ho had livod, but that no ono would ovor bo nblo to scenic ovidoncc to convict him of bigamy. Miss Lovell, whoso father is a man of vory modest means, but a highly respected citizen, says that sho will havo nothing f ni t her to do with Chapman and that she wishes him to ho punished. -Tho Atlanta Semi-Weokly Journal and THK COUIUKK for $1.75 a year.

Dloksou, io Anderson Mail.] Uroyh s, May 8.--I met with a painful disappointment when I journeyed th? other day to Gen. Robert Andersen'? old home ou the Seneca river to see hts grave. I bad heard that a number of graves there were marked, but the only tomb stone on the neglected and desolate spot stands at the grave of a traveler who was drowned there in the spriug of 1819. Notice of this iooldent may be seen in au old file of the Pendleton Messenger, now in the possession of Mr. C. C. Lang ston, of the Intelligenoer. There seem to be a dozen or so graves in the family burying ground, a small, uneuolosed spot, overgrown with briars and stunted* post oak and wild oherry trees. A plantation fire had broken out a fow days before I was there and had swept the spot clean-a rebuke, as it were, to forgetful hands. The graveyard, in the midst of a large cleared area, stands on the inner border of a semi circular tableland pr "second bottom,'* rh lug abruptly some ten foot above the big bottom lowland next the river, and is, say, three hundred yards north of the spot where the dwelling stands. Not far away in the slaves' burying ground. Gen. Anderson's residence stands on the edge of the same ol o va ti op where it OIOBOS in upon the river and within two hundred yards of the stream. Fronting the houso, or where it used to stand, for the fire-fiend devoured it soon after tho war, is a strip of eight aores of surpass ingly rion, .mtlom land whioh in the long ago was oover d with maple trees. The old house stood north and south, and must have been sixty feet long, judg ing from the piles of stone and brickbats where the chimneys stood. Struggling through one of these piles is the old-time fig bush that'hugged the ancestral ch i ni nny comers. An overhanging yearling walnut tree had dropped Its last year's fruit among tho stones and bricks, some of whioh I fished out and cracked and ate, and mosed while my friend Routh entertained the man living in a recently construct eil house in the old yard with a discussion of seed corn or admired the Jersey red pig penned upon tho spot where the other chimney stood. Gen. Anderson settled upon tho river soon after the Revolution, ooming, no doubt, with his long-time friend, Gen. Piokons, from Abbeville. He was a nativo of Augusta county, Virginia, and carno from there to South Carolina with Andrew Piokens many years before the Revolution and in his young manhood. Gen. PiokeiiB settled on the east side of the Seneca, and nearly opposite Gen. Anderson, his place being known as Hopewell. They were not related by blood, it seems, but were kindred spirits, and together took the load in establish ing ana building the Stone Churoh. and both served tho ohuroh as ruling elders. If Gen. Anderson over served the State in tho General Assembly I do not happen to know, but he was a oandidate for leg islative honors, togother with Gen. Piok ons, in 1804, and whoa we consider their standiug and influence we may conclude they woro olected if anybody was. Upon the statement of his great-grand son, Prof. Halsey, of Chicago, Gen. Anderson held no higher rank than oap tain in the revolutionary war. He was made a general of militia after the war. It is a great pity that no dates in his life have been preserved and that little is known of his personal appearance. Ho is said to have been of largo frame and of commanding appearance. That he was a genuine Christian is well authenticated. Tho town of Anderson vi Ile, in tho fork of Seneca and Tugaloo rivers, established by act of tho Legislature in 1801, was named in compliment to him. He was throe times married-first to Auu Thompson, the mother of his chil dren; second to Mrs. Mavorick, and third Mrs. Reese, widow of Rev. Thomas Reese, D. D., tho first pastor of the Stone church. His ohildron were: Mary, born September 15, 1766: mar ried, first Robert Maxwell; second Elias ( .'armit h ; diod May 8, 17 . John, born Juue 5, 1773; died a boy.

John Mclrnkin, ol Toceos, Ga., I Youth of 19, Make? Quits a Pitiful Scene. With bis miud erased after long illness and while two stout policemen were carrying him last night from his room on the feocond floor of the Alexander Hotel, John MoJunkin, a 19-year-old youth, of Toc?os, tia., kioked his father down the steps of the hotel and onto the Marietta street sidewalks. The elder Mo Junkin, a prominent physioian of Tooeoa, sus tained painful and perhaps serious injuries. The insane youth was carried to police barracks, where he will be con fined until some disposition is made of his oase. Dr. MoJunkin received a bad gash on' the head sud was otherwise bruised. Instead of accompanying his son to police barracks, it was found necessary to remove him to a room of tbe hotel, where hts injuries were at tended to. The mind of young MoJunkin was un balanced as the result of a sick spell. He had been ill for several weeks ut his home in Tooeoa and two or three' dey? ago signs of insanity began to dcvo.op. It was then decided to bring him to Atlanta for treatment in a private sani tarium, whioh was done yesterday morn ing. The young mau was accompanied by hiB father and two brothers. They registered at the Alexaudor Hotel until arrangements co",.d bt made for the treatment of your>? MoJunkin. He appeared to be somewhat restless during the day and was continually writ ing out telegrams to bis mother and other persons in Tooeoa. He stated that he expeoted to receive $25,000 last night. After the supper hour Dr. MoJunkin and his other sons left the hotel, leaving the slok boy there. Between 8 and o o'clock he became violent and the proprietor of the hotel and others tried to quiet him. Their efforts were futile and Anally MoJunkin seized a piece of scantling and struck at Mr. Alexander. A message was then sent to Patrolman Bolding on Marietta street and the police station was also notified. Call Officers Doyal and Tibbs responded. Officer Behling preoeded thom. When the officers reached the hotel MoJunkin was backed up in a corner in the rear of the ballway and defied any body to touch him. He declared that ho would shoot the roan that laid hands on him. He had no weapon, howe?"?r. Doyal and Tibbs realised that they had a difficult job on their hands and without losing any time, rushed forward and caught the young mao by the aruiB, He resisted and struggled vigorously to release himself. Although havirg beou sick for some time, his erased coudltiou rendered bim powerful and he continued to resist , until the offloers finally over powered bim and placed handcuffs on his wrists. Before the three officers arrived thc father and other sons returned to the hotel. One of the brothers, who weighs considerably more tbau young MoJunkin, was attacked and thrown to the floor. The patrol wagon was summoned and Doyal and Tibbs started out with Mo Junkin botweeu them, each ono holding to an arm. Dr. MoJunkin started down the steps in front of them and remarked, "I will go dowu there with you, John." No sooner had be uttered the words than the boy, totally unconscious of bis act, raised himself from the floor on the arms of the two offloers aud before his intentions were realized, kiokod his father in the back with both feet. Dr. MoJunkin fell headlong down the steps and rolled over and over several times, landing out on the sidewalk on Marietta street. At the police station the young man repeatedly asked to bo allowed to send a telegram to his mother. He was closely watched while being searched, -but offered -no further resistance. He was ?daoed in the "slick" cell, which is per oetly bare, to prevent his doing possiblo injury to himself. Further steps will tirobably be taken in the oase this morli ng. His oondition is pathetic and aroused great sympathy. Ic io hoped th it proper treatment will soon restore bis reason. Atlanta Constitution, May 3d. No Loss of Time.
