CLEMSON CADETS.
More Than Half of Corps Go to Pendloton?Took
Advantage of

dcnison College, April 1.?A little
more tluin half tho'eadets, principally
v lower classmen. taking advantage <>!'
1 April 1, t?>i>k holiday and went to
Pendleton this morning. All the seniors,
most ol" the ujembors of the athletic
teams and" a number of ;i 11 classes
remained at college and are attending
their regular duties.
The discipline committee is considering
the matter hut it is not known
what action it will take.
At retreat last night Commandant
Mlinnis hud published the resolution,
passed by the board of trustees at the
August meeting and provoked by thd
"shirt tail" parade by the senior
class during commencement, emphas|
izing the fact that tin; hoard would
I stand to the decisions of the discipline
committee and would co-operate
with the committee in enforcing rigidly
the laws ol" the college. This resolution
stated that All Fools' Day
pranks and pranks common at com-!
r' nrencemeu! ti'ne would not be tolerat-!
ed. and that the discipline committee
would deal with the participants in |
such pranks, en forcing the law to tire
letter. Another order published last)
night was in elVoet a warning to the
student body that absence without
permission ..from barracks is a dismis-l
sal offence.
^ ?
Aifter all of these warnings at 7.4.~?
o'clock this morning, when the drums
sounded for early morninji- drill, not
more than .'?()() cadets answered the
roll call. The other 400 wore grouped
on the campus and in their rooms.
After the captains reported the absentees
the rebels in mob formation
marched off of the campus past
President Moll's home and on to Pendleton,
four miles distant. A number
of rebels weakened after leaving the
E campus and returned to their duties.
' The .'500 faiihful cadets were required
to attend to their regular duties today.
' i
The 400 "rebels" spent the day
! quietly and orderly on the village
. 'green at Pendleton. Before leaving
Pendleton at ! o'clock this afternoon
they gathered in Evans's durg store
and 300 of them signed a written
agreement that if punishment for the
escapade be inflicted upon even one
cadet then by miutual consent all of
f them would leave college. At .'{Jo
o'clock this afternoon the "rebels"
formed line and marched back to college.
It could' easily be seen that
they were very much worried as to
the outcome of their offence.
When they reached lite campus
they were allowed lo go to their rooms
[ without any resistance and when retreat
sounded this afternoon at 0
o'clock every cadet was in line.
As soon as chapel exercises ;it the
college were over this morning the
discipline committee, consisting of
President Mell, Commandant Minus,
Directors Ifiggs, Harden. Harper and
f Doggell and Profs. Purman, Calhoun
and Morrison, met and remained in
^ session two hours. This committee rei
viewed the escapade, but adjourned
' before noon without coming to any
decision. The meeting was adjourned
until tomorrow, when Commandant
; Minus. at the instance of the committee,
will submit the names of all ca,
dots who participated in die rebellion
and all information he can gather. Fi
L is understood from President Mell to.
? night that the names of the majority
I of the ringleaders, and there are
i many, are known, and these, with'
I many other cadets, will be dismissed
[' from college. The -100 cadets who
i participated' were from, all classes except
the senior class. No senior or
member of the athletic team partiei.
pated. The authorities believe that
the freshmen and a few sophomores
were coerced and their punishment
will hardly be expulsion. They will,
however, have sufficient punishment
meted out to them for them lo realize
thai the students are not the bosses at
>?^the college.
SS. us have the faith that right
makes might, and in that faith let us
^L-dare to do our duty as we understand

PRIX'CHARD NAMES BOND.
If He Stays Order Commission Must
Give Bond in Amount Claimed
by Complainants.
Columbia Slate.
Ashcville, X. April I.?Judge
l'ritdiard today notified counsel that
I In* court would grant '.Ik* motion of
counsel for 111?_? dispensary commission
in the South Carolina dispensary
mat tor for a supersedeas bond to stay
the order appointing receivers for tin?
$900,000 trust fund, provided the defendant
commission would uive bond
in amount equal t.> the sum elaiinted
by the complainants.
This is equivalent to a refusal, inasmuch
as the defendants' counsel at
that time, when t'he matter was first
called uj?. stated that lliey were unwilling
to furnish such a bond.
Tlu? complainants have claims
against the dispensary winding up
commission to the amount of $2 ">0,000
or .$.'{00,000 ami the court would have
required bond in this sum.
! I i- understood that in the event
t'lie defendants >iil! decline to make
bond in >ueh sum. demand will be
math' by the receivers on the dispensary
commission for the trust fund of
s'sOO.OOO. 11 i> expected that the commission
will refuse t.. comply with the
demand ami in such an event eonion
]>t proceedings will be in order.
I'lie dispatch above indicates that
the commission should give the bond,
pmbably amounting to about $260,000.
for the fund now contested in the
courts. The three receivers appointed
by .Indue Pritchard were required
to give only $76,000 in bond to administer
this fund but the commission
will probably accept the condition in
any amount named by the federal
judge as the case must be tinally pass,
en* upon by the supreme court of the
I nite 1 Stales. Mr. Stevenson said
last night tiiat tliere would probably
be little contest over this ruling.
At present there are no local developments
ill fhe case. The ruling of
.Judge IViiehard does n<>! change the
situiation. Attorney (leneral Lyon
has not r-ceived any notice of a move
by the receivers and l lie statement bv
(lov. An.-el last Saturday indicates
that unless some drastic action is taken
the suit will go before the Uni}e<?
^t.aio? supreme e^nrt in the usual
orderly manner. The appeal has
been perfected for the omul of appeals
in Richmond and upon the ruling
there will depend further action
by the representatives rjf the State.
A Devonshire Joke.
A few days ago a Devonshire showman
played a practical joke at Barnstaple.
As the country folk passed
his tent they were interested at seeing
the to]lowing* don-, admission twopence."
Naturally a good many people
paid their two-ponces and entered
the lent, which was empty save for a
bill' dog wearing a metal collar, but
no "musical dog" was visible. At last
impatience mastered curiosity, and
ones ol I lie audience asked the show'inan
when the performance was going
to begin, lie seemed much surprised
at the question and made for
the tent door. Once there and in
easy reach of tire open "-round, he
pointed to the dog in the lent, saying:
"Why, that's the musical dog.
'Can't you see the brass band around
his neck?"
A Difference in Bleat.
As (lie pastor of the Zion's Hill
church looked down at his parishioners,
to whom he had been giving thirty-live
minutes of sound doctrine, his
face took on a less benignant expression.

want to warn you against one I 'iug,

2;>th day ol: February, .1008, begins
the three months advertising required
t(. precede the bestowal of crosses
upon the decendanls of veterans.
Rule 1. Sec. 2. The oldest living
lineal dependant of veterans who have
not received a cross may secure it,
provided that notices for three consecutive
months be published in tiro
city and county newspapers calling
upon veterans to send in certificates
j for crosses. If, at the expiration of
| three months no veterans have apI
plied, Ihc bestowal of crosses upon
(dependants and widows may begin,
j The chapter urges the veterans to
i be prompt in sending in their cerlijOcatcs
for two reasons. First of all,
j because it is the purpose of the
J chapter to honor every veteran with
I a cross and, second, to give to such
(dependants as described in the rule
| above, the opportunity to secure their
| croses.
