Four Hundred Cadets In tho Mire to Some Depth. (J. H. G., In Greenville News.) Clemson College, April 1.-For some years there has been a misun derstanding on the part of the Clem ton cndets ns to whether the student body or the faculty ls the boss of tho college. This question will be defi nitely answered to-morrow when the discipline committee meets to review a very serious escapade of nearly Tour hundred of the seven hundred cadets to-day. The prevailing opin ion among the professors and cadets will be compelled to turn their faces toward their homes by to-morrow afternoon. At retreat last night Commandant Minus had published the resolution passed by the Board of Trustees nt ?he August meeting, provoked by the shirt-tail brigade by the senior class during commencement, emphasizing the fact that the board would stand to the decisions of the discipline committee and would co-operate with the committee in enforcing the laws of the college. This resolution stat ed that all fools' day pranks and pranks common at commencement time would not be tolerated, and that the discipline committee would deal with the participators in such very harsh!;', enforcing the law to the let ter. Tho order published last night was In effect a warning to the student body that absence without permis sion from barracks is a dismlssnl of fense. After all of these warnings at 7.45 o'clock this mowling, when the drums sounded for early morn ing drill, not more than three hun dred cadets answered the roll cali. The other 4 00 were grouped In the campus and in their rooms. After the captains reported the absentees tho rebels In mob forma tion marched off the campus past President Moll's home and on to Pendleton, four miles distance A number of rebels weakened after leaving tho campus and returned to ?heir duties. Tho 300 faithful cadets were required to attend to their reg ular duties to-day. Tho 4 00 rebels spent the day quietly and orderly on the village green at Pendleton. Before leaving Pendleton at 3 o'clock this afternoon they gathered In Evans' Drug Store and 300 of them signed a written agreement that if punishment for (he escapade be inflicted upon even one cadet then by mutual consent all of them would leave the college. At 3.15 o'clock this afternoon the rebels formed lino and marched back to the college, lt could be eas ily seen that they were very much worried ns to tho outcome of their offense. When they reached the campus they were allowed to go to their rooms without resistance, and when retreat sounded this afternoon at 6 o'clock every cadet was in line. As soon as the chapel exercises at the college were over this morning the discipline committee, consisting of President Mell. Commandant Mi nns, Directors Riggs, Harden, Har per and Doggett, and Profs. Fur man, Calhoun and Morrison, met and re mained In session two hours. This committee revlowed the escapade, but adjourned before noon without coming to any decision. The meet ing was adjourned until to-morrow, when Commandant Minus, at the In stance of the committee, will submit the names of all cadets who partici pated in the rebellion and all Infor mation he can gather. lt ls understood from President Mell to-night that the names of the majority of the ring leaders-and there are many-are known, and these with many other cadets, will be dismissed from college. The 400 radeta who participated were from all classes except tho Senior class. \'o Sonlor nor member of the ath letic team participated. Tho author ides believe that the freshmen and a few Sophomores were coorced, and choir punishment will hardly be ex pulsion. They will, however, have luflicient punishment meted out to them for them to realize that the .students are not the bosses at the college. President Mell Capt. Minus and all of the authorities of tho college are cool and collected over the mat ter. They are considering every phase and uo rash move will be made fty them. They realize that the of fense committed is a serious one, and they are determined that the guilty parties shall receive the limit ?f the law. The cadets who did not participate m the escapade are Indignant of the action of their comrades and have co-operated with the authorities In tarrying on tho regular work of th?' college as if nothing bad happened.

Editor of the Anderson Intelligencer, Anderson, S. C.: Dear Mr. Editor We have been informed that Court Stenographer M. C. Long will be In the race for Solicitor of the Tenth Judicial Circuit this summer, and we, the undersigned citizens, of Johnston, S. C., the boyhood mme of M. C. Long, wish to say that we know of him personally. Mr. Long was born and reared on a farm four miles from Johnston. His father, J. M. Long, was murder ed by a negro when he was In his fifteenth year, leaving a widow and two orphan children, the step-mo ther, half-brother and half-sister of M. C. Long, the children then be ing four and six years of age. After the debts of J. M. Long were paid, even his own home was sold from under his widow and children, leav ing only one horse to them. M. C. Long, then a boy, took that one horse, rented land, gave Hens over his crops, and with the aid of his brother, supported his step-mother and her children for four years, until she married again, and then he took the two children to support and edu cate, and gave the last one a college education In May, 1907. We know nothing of Mr. Long's ability as a lawyer, he having been admitted to the bar after leaving here, hut think his past history will bear us out in saying he ls a man who will stand for the right principle In all things, and If he ls eletced, wo feel sure your circuit will be in safe hands. Yours very truly, M. O. Norris, J. D. Bartley J. H. Crim, A. M. Nickerson, J. Jacobs, J. W. Hardy, T. R. Denny, B. W. Rush ton. T. T. Dering, D. E. Simons, W. Lee Coleman, J. E. Swearingtn, J. B.

AIKEN FOR PUBLIC BUILDING. , - ' Iiooklng After Interests of Newberry and Anderson's Post Offices. Washington, April 2.--Represen tative Wyatt Aiken, of South Caro lina, has been working Incessantly In behalf o', an appropriation carry ing $00,000 for a post office building at Newberry, and hopes also to se jeure at least an additional $25,000 for the building at Anderson. In view of the rapid strides of the pro gressive city of Anderson, Congress man Aiken, In a personal Interview v.-'th Supervising Archl.ect Knox Taylor, of the Treasury, easily con vinced him that an additional ap propriation should be allowed for the erection of a public building that, will do justice to the pride of that city, so that Mr. Taylor has recommended for tho Anderson building an addi tional appropriation of $20,000. Mr. Aiken entertains the hope of being able to still further Increase that by five or ten thousand dollars, and will do everything he possibly can to gain this amount for his people. Among other successful under takings Mr. Aiken has put through this session was his recent victory with three pension cases which he fought out determinedly before the committee. The case of Chas. A. Tribblo, Newberry, was granted at I he rate of $8 per month, while In the Instance of Mrs. Martha Ann Pruett and Mrs. Lucy Tucker Catlett. Doth of Anderson, an Increase was obtained from $8 to $12 per month. Mr. Aiken had an especially stiff fight in all three of these cases, which was brought on partly because ? hey were "turned down" by the last committee before whom thoy had been prosecuted.

(Anderson Intelligencer. ) An Anderson man who went to California to make his homo writes back to the Intelligencer: "If any body advises you to come out here, shoot him on the spot, surrender to the sheriff, plead guilty to murder, land go to the gallows." "Suffered day and night the tor ment of itching pilos. Nothing help ed me until I used Doan's Ointment. It cured me permanently."-Hon. J. R. Garrett, Mayor, Girard, Ala. SUCCESSFUL UNION MEETING. lloaverdant Association Held Well Attended and Interesting Session. The union meeting of Beaverdam Association, which met with South Union church on the 28th and 29th of March, was thought to be the best union ' we have had in several years. South Union did her part well In providing for and faking care of the union, which was largely attended, and we feel sure they have the thanks and kind fee''n gs of those they so generously provided for. The program was successfully car ried out by the following speakers: Revs. J. R. Moore, L. T. Weldon, J. H. Stone, L. M. Lyda, A. P. Marett and C. L. Craig; Laymen, Hon. J. E. Boggs, C. R. D. Burns, W. N. Bruce, T. B. Harris and W. H. Cole. The subject of Christian education was first on the program. J. R. Moore, L. T. Weldon and Hon. J. E. Boggs were the principal speakers. They spoke in favor of an endow ment fund for Furman University and Greenville Female College. They thought the college essential to the prosperity of the Baptists of South Carolina, and should be put on a sound basis. We trust the churches of our association will do their part in this good work. After prayer by Rev. L .T. Weldon for divine blessings on our efforts the subject was passed. The speeches on all the subjects were fine. The last subject discussed, which deserves special mention, was the "Success and Needs of our Mission Work." The speakers aroused a feel ing of anxiety for the spreading of the Master's kingdom, and it is prob able those who heard the talks will pray with more feeling, "Thy king dom come." The spirituality of the meeting was good. We think such meetings are productive of much good. On next fifth Sunday the union will give way for the Sunday School Conven tion, which will be held with Return church. A. P. Marett, Moderator. T. M. Elrod, Clerk. A Card.
