MANLY STATEMENT
BY THE JUNIORS
ACKNOWLEDGED THAT* THEY
MADE A SERIOUS MISTAKE.
The Men Deny That the Order Published
at Reveille Forbade Specifically
Their "Lark."
To the Editor of The State:
The newspaper reports of tlio recent
trouble at Clemson col lege being
more or less incorrect and not altogether
fair and impartial, we, the
undersigned ex-members of the junior
class, desire to give to the pcoplo
of the State what we conscientiously
believe to be a true and impartial
statement of the facts. We do not
believe that any one knowingly made
an incorrect statement; but wo do
know that some of the newspaper reports
were written by men who knew
but little about the facts which Ihiy
at templed to stale. ('onsc<pienlly,
some blunders :i11.1 mistakes were
made, and we consider it our duty I >
the people of the Slate In correct, as
far as possible, Ihese mistakes.
Taking tip these statements in order.
we desire to make the following
correct ions:
I. The newspaper articles referred
to above staled that several orders
and warnings were published at rctroat
on the evening of March 31st.
As a matter of fact, only one order
"was published, and that called attention
to paragraph .12(i of the "Regulations
for the Government of Cadets."
The order in question was as
follows:
"Headquarters Corps of Cadets
"Clemson Agricultural College,
"Clcmson College, S. C.,
"March"31, 1008.
"General Orders No. d'2.
"Bar. 1. The attention of the
corps of c.t l.'ls is specially directed
lo paragraph I'Jti of 'The Regulations
fur Ihc Government of Cadets,'
which reads ;is follows:
" 'Any cadet who leaves barracks
without authority at any time between
retreat and reveille, shall be
dismissed.'
"By order of ('apt. Minus."
.As far as we have been able to
find out, no one left barracks without
authority during that time. The
newspaper reports made it seem that
Ibis order was intended for the next
day, when the order itself plainly
shows I hat il was not.
'J. A statement was made that telegrams
were sent to I'rof. K. 11. Kike I
informing him that his services were
no longer needed. Iv. 11. Kike is a
cadet and not a professor; and the
telegram was sent in a spirit of fun,
merely to let Kike know that the participants
were carrying on their April
fool celebration. Cadel Kike was in
no way connected with the affair.
The statement that the rest of
the students were very indignant over
the action of their comrades is a mislake,
as practically the whole student
body treated the matters as a joke.
1. Cadel T. S. Allen was not a
leader in Ihe celebration. In fact,
there were no leaders, everybody acting
for himself. Cadel Allen did. after
the juniors were dismissed from j
college, advise Ihe res! of the stud- !
enls |n remain al college, but did so!
solely bccause he I hough I thai by!
using liis influence, lie mighl help!
to prevent the lower classmen from
leaving u illi the juniors.
"?. There was^also a slight mistake;
made a> !o the number of sindt-itt? in ;
Ihe junior clas>. 'flu-re were only M 1
sliub'ni-. in In, class; |< ,,f tlie>. j
? * y d.-:i. i - i ml on. mi - peinicd. < >f i
the re>l. s'v.Tai were . athletic
team and would have gone on Ihe
"lark" had they not been persuaded
by their classmates not to go.
We do not wish lo cast any reflections
on any one: our purpose being
t*> correct some statements that
mighl create a wrong impression
among the people of tire State.
In conclusion, we, the undersigned,
wish lo say to Ihe people of Ibis and
other Stales thai we, lire dismissed
cadets of Clemson college, do now
feel the seriousness of |he offense and
think that Ihe punishment received
was just; and thai we have absolutely
no ill feelings toward Ihe action of
the discipline committee of Clemson
college. We realize thai the mistake
Avas a serious one, but Ave do not feel
that any disgrace attends our dismissal.

BOOK AUCTIONEER'S STORY.

This was a copy bound in flexibl.

teachings. And then the auctioned
told a little story:
"A man," lie said, "who wa<
traveling in a remote and sparsely
settled part of tho country, founc
himself overtaken by nightfall at at:
isolated farm house. It. was not tlie
most inviting looking place in tin
world, but it was there or nowhere
for him, and so be knocked on tliv
door and asked if he might sta\
there for the night, and the fnrmei
said lie could.
"So he went in. ami the farmei
and his v. !'e gave him supper, ami
all'r a lin.e he was iva.lv to go (<
! bed.
j A11 I as a matter of fact the traveler
was troubled in his mind, as hi
had been for that matter from tin
I
moment he saw the farmer. This wa>
a renin!.* ami lonely spot, and lit.
fanner was a tall, gaunt, silent 111:11
with a furrowed face, and he and hi.
wife were all the people in the household.
And as the traveler dwelt agaii
upon how far uway he was, and upor
the gaunt, silent farmer, he ivcallei
all the stories he had read of men
who had been murdered and robbed
in just such out-of-the-way places
and as the time came for retiring iiiv
fears increased, and when the farmer
showed him at las! to his roon
the traveler was much troubled, ami
j he prepared for a sleepless and
watchful night, and to defend himself
the best he could if need be.
"lie barricaded the door with all
the movable furniture in the room
for one precaution and he didn't
disrobe himself, for he wasn't going
to bed; he was going to sit up all
night and watch, and when he had
made all his preparations he put out
his light am) sat down to keep guard
for the night.
"I lis own light ml, the traveler
saw a little beam of light coming into
hi> room through a crack in the
wall on III,' side toward the room
where he had left the farmer and
his wife, and to be sure he pretty
soon had hi> eye to that crack to see
what : li \ weii- doing, and there he
-aw tli.'iii, the farmer sit'ing 011 one

table, and both silent.
"Bin pre-ent !y the traveler saw
I lie old man vet up and go to a shelf
and take down a big book, which he
laid upon the table and opened. And,
bending over the book, the farmer
read from it aloud a chapter from
the bible. And the reading finished
he closed the book, and then the farmer
and his wife knelt at their chairs
and the stern faced man prayed.
"And then the traveler, his fears
all gone, took down the barricade
from the door and went to bed to
j sleep peacefully and refreshingly, foi
1 lie knew that there or anywhere under
the roof of those who believed
in the Bibb' and lived according tc
its precepts, he was safe from al
harm.''
