Porter Cadets Suspended. Charleston, March 19.-The en tire graduating class of the Porter Military Academy was suspended Yesterday by the faculty, awaiting the action of the trustees. When the first classmen left the Institution they were accompanied by twenty-five of the lower classmen who sympathized vlth them. The cause of tho first classmen having to leave was on account of insubordinate conduct. The com mencement of the trouble, however, was in confining them to their quar ters for secreting the bugled used In the school and the breaking of pun ishment by the malority of the bat talion. From the other classes many mem bers left in sympathy, and the proba, billtles are that the roster of school, after to-night, will contain about 60 names instead' of 90, the former strength of the school.

I How thc l?ate Rev. W. W. Jones Kept Largo Amount of Money. (From The State.) Relatives of the late Rev. William W. Jones, whose death oocurrad on March '7th at his home at Waterloo, Laurens county, have applied for let ters of administration on the estate and effects of the deceased. The es tate consists chiefly of a snug sum of cold cash, a portion of which was taken to Laurens and deposited in one of the banks by the administra tor. Of the amount placed on deposit $1,800 of lt was In $20 gold pieces. Part of this coin was in a waist belt and the balance In a bag, the^welght of the entire amount being five and a half pounds. Mr. Jones was a very old man and his treasure was kept in a safe place In his house and lt was not probably k|nown to many that he possessed such a . um. He belonged to the South Carolina Methodist Conference for many years and had, since being superanuated, lived at Waterloo. It ls said that years ago Mr. Jones had money In a bank that failed, al though he drew out his holdings be fore the doors were closed. Ever after this escape, however, as the story goeB, Mr. Jones trusted no one but himself to take care of his money He lived comfortably all the while and his savings doubtless run back 'hrough a long Beries of years.

(The State, Msrch 13.) I noticed in Tuesday's edttJ . 'our paper a statement regardtil f? le of fertilizers, claiming t lui income to date this year is q Umn for preceding yeats. Yoi respondent states: "So far thit $117,017.85 has been re against $112,745.85 for the time in 1907. This woul? indlcl very large Increase this year in! ming operations." ^1 There seems to be an erro* 'hese figures if the board of f?rtil control has a correct account on J books kept In that division of thei lege. The report made to nie j morning by H. M. Stackhouse, sj tary of the board of fertilizer^ trol, furnishes the following mation. The sale of tags froml uary 1 to March 10, for thel three seasons ls as follows: Jan. 1-Muroh 10, 1906..$119,1 Jan. 1-March 10. 1907.. 11(1, Jan. 1-March 10, 1908.. 1161 These amounts includo sim of penalty money paid iu <NU but always accounted part privilege tax. These? tl gu res show that Hu fertilizers for the year 1908 Mcally the same as for the riod in 1907, and show a slit lng ott for the year 1906. Id wise to make this statement f there seems to be an i m prese the college is recivlng from] spection of fertilizers a verj larger amount of money than ed in former years.
