Alan Johnston Klee ?ed to Succeed Retiring Head-Other Change?. (Greenville Newa, August 2.r>.) The resignation of Col. R. W.Simp son, of Pendleton, from the presi dency of the Board of Trustees of Clemson College, comes as a surprise. The resignation WK* tendered the board at a meeting held at the col lege last week, and though tho other members urged Col. Simpson to con tinue, he declared that he had fully made up his mind to resign; that the presidency of tho board required a great deal of time, and he felt that his private business stood In greater need of his attention. Alan .Tohn i.ston, of Newberry, was elected tc ieucceod Col. Simpson. Ile was one ?t the original elective trustees and wis recently elected as a life trustee twsucceed the late Col. D. K. Norris. Ha ls a man of affairs and ls noted for his frankness and his justice. The committee which went to Washington to visit tho War Depart ment made Its report, stating that the department had received them with the greatest courtesy, and ut once detailed Capt. Josiah C. Minus, of the Sixteenth Infantry, to act as commandant at Clemson, if the board so desired. The board unanimously elected Capt. Minus. Dr. Louis A. Klein has resigned to accept a position in his native State, Pennsylvania, and in connection with his alma mater, the University of Pennsylvania. While ho gets a much better salary In his new position, he goes chiefly because the work ls more congenial and more extensive. Dr. Klein is a finely equipped veterina rian and has already made a fine reputation, which ls better known elsewhere, perhaps, than lu South Carolina. Prof. H. D. House, of the chair of botany, resigned some time ago. He had been hero only a short time. He will go to a position In Syracuse Uni versity or in the Bronx Park in New York, his native State. Prof. John Michels, professor of animal husbandry, has gone to a Similar position In the Agricultural and Mechanical College of North Ca rolina. He is one of the best posted dairymen In the country, and his ?oing ls a distinct loss to Clemson. All these positions, for which there are many applications, will be filled by committees of the board In ten days, or less. ROOT SPARRING FOR HEALTH.

WtiH in Act ot Coupling Freight Curs When Crushed by llumpcfH. (Greenville New?, August 23.) Brakeman Claude E. Myers, of this city, who was crushed between two cars In the Southern railway yards here Wednesday evening, died yester day afternoon at 5 o'clock. The re mains were taken to Seneca, Mr. My ers' old home, on No. 39 this morn ing, and the funeral and Interment will take placo there about 2 o'clock this afternoon. Mr. Myers was a young man about twenty-five years of age. He was married and ls survived by his widow and three small children. The acci dent was a peculiarly sad one, and the grief-stricken family have the sympathy of a large number of rela tives and friends In Greenville and throughout the upper part of the State. Mr. Myers was attached to ono of the Southern's yari engines. No. j 1618, which wa? doing shifting work, in charge of Engineer Hammond with Conductor Da&ls. According to the statement of Conductor Davis, he was moving a number ol cara from one of the tracks In thc yard to another. On tho track into which the cars were pushed were several detached cars. Mr. Davis says that lt was not his In tention to make a coupling, but that Brakeman Myers must have been un der tho impression that the station ary cars were to be attached to those connected with the locomotive. It was almost dark, atd Mr. Myers ran o\er to the cars standing on the track, and was ovldontly preparing to make the coupling when he was caught between tho bumpers. The locomotive had been detached from the cars after they were transferred to tho track designated, and it is pos sible that this' caused Mr. Myers to misjudge the Speed or position of the moving freight cars. The first thing Conductor Davis kuew of the accident was when he heard Mr. Myers calling for help. Mr. Davis rushed over to where the brake man was last seen and found him pinned between the cars. His body was mashed in the region of the abdo men. Conductor Davis had the freight cars separated as quickly as possible, and Mr. Myers was helped out and seated on a cross tie until he could be taken to his home on Wash ington street. He was suffering con siderable pain, but was able to walk a few steps and at first his friends did not think he had been seriously hurt. He received Immediate atten tion from tho company's physicians, and yesterday morning was moved to tho Greenville Sanitarium. Mr. Myers was a popular young man, and his death ls generally de plored. Besides his Immediate fam ily, ho is survlvod by his father and mother, who reside in Seneca, and a brother, J. H. Myers, prescription clerk at Carpenter Bros'. Main streot drug store. JOHN D.
