WOULD KEEF CLEMSON OUT OF NEWSPAPERS Mr. W. W. Dixon of Winnsboro Thinks Press Controversy About Discipline Bad for Institution. To the Editor of the State. Is there no earthly way that we can be relieved of the agony of the discussion of Clemson's affairs at this juncture in the public print. I think all of it injurious and out of order. Capt. Minus knows enough about mil itary science and ethics to have con tented himself with a dignified resig nation and silence, submitting his grievances for redress to .h.is superiors And loving the State, as he does, he. should have made a personal sacrifice of his feelings for the good of the college just at this time. There is enough fairness in the board to do justice finally between him and the head of the institution. The presi dent of Clemson was precipitate in his defense and any statement which he may have had to make in reply to Capt. Minus should have been made to the trustees. More than all, if there 'has been no investigation of the points in the controversy now being waged in the columns of the press it is very injudicious and hurtful for the trustees to jump into the newspa pers, prejudicing and trying the case for the public before a thorough and painstaking investigation which they say they have not (had. I commend the attitude of Col. Alan Johnstone. the president of the board. He has been interviewed and has nothing for publication. Such silence at such times is truly golden. W. W. Dixon. Winnsboro, April 26, 1909. FIVE YEARS SENTENCE FOR ,GEORGE BARTON Notorious Safeblower Pleads Guilty to Charge of Robbing Postoffice at Pelzer. The State. Greenville, April 27.-A cross-eyed woman, apparently about 25 years of age, appeared today for the first time iA the Barton case. Incidentally Bar ton pleaded guilty to the charge of -breaking into and robbing the postof fiee at Pelzer, and accepted a term of five vears in the Atlanta prison and a fine of $1,000. It is intimated the woman gave him the "double cross." The notorious safe blower, who es caped from the jail here in company with "Tennessee Dutch,'' an equally well known criminal and was cap tured near Asheville, N. C., and brought here for trial, did not speak to the woman in .tihe case when he came into court. His plea of gailty Aade it unnecessary to use her as a witneis for or against him. COOPERS' MOTION REFUSED. Judge Denies Ne\v Trial to Murderers of Carmack.-Appeal to Supreme Court. Nashville, Tenn., April 27.-Judge William H. Hart today overruled the motion for a new trial in the case of Col. Duncan B. Cooper andi Robin J. Cooper, his son, both convicted of the murder'of Former United States Sen ator Carrmaek. The court 's opinion was that there was no ground for set ting aside the verdict of the trial jury. The defense at onee gave notice of an appeal to the Tennessee su preme court. The appeal was grant ed. The bond remains the same and the same bondsmen qualified. The de fense demands 30 days in which to file a bill of exceptions. Decisions on Ithis point were deferred till Satur day. HAINS JURY COMPLETE. Twelve Men to Try Army Captain Se lected After Examination of 40 Talesmen. Flushing, N. Y., April 27.-The jury that is to try Capt. Peter C. Hams for the murder of William E. Annis, his one time friend, was final ly completed today. 'It took just sev en days to select the 12 men and in that time 430 talesmen were called and examined. The State will pre sent its case, beginning tomorrow, Sand from that time on t,he case will move expeditiously. All of the jurymen. are married with the excep)tion of Otto J. Nicholas who is 27 vears old and the youngest man in the jury box. Speaking of the personnel of the jury, one of the defendant 's counsel said it was a "pathwork of varying personalities and temperaments.' The defense has fought all along for married meni and peremptorily challenged t'he few baehelors who have qualified. Capt. Hains has taken no part in seleting the 12 men who will decide his fate. but has remained silent .lioanot the proceeding. His law ver-oltend l that lie is insane now as lie was, in their opinion, for months before he killed Annis. There will be a tinge of military color at the trial in the presence of several arniv officers. witnesses for the defense, who were attached to the post where Capt. Annis was stationed during his army career. They will testify as to insane acts of the defen dant. According to John F. McIntyre, chief counsel for the defense, evidence will be introduced to show hereditary taint of insanity in t'he defendant's family. Justice Garretson 'has ordered the jury locked up daring the trial. COL. E. H. AULL IN CHARLESTON Optimistic as to the Success of the Coming Press Association Con vention. News and Courier, 28th. Col. Elbert H. Aull, of Newberry, never appeared happier or more pros perous than when seen yesterday greeting his friends on the streets of Charleston. Col. Aull was here ar ranging for a special edition of the Carolina Pythian in connection with the convention of the Knghts of Py thias to be held here late in May, and which promises -to be one of the largest and most interesting meetings of that order ever held in this State. Col. Aull among many other things is the president of the South Carolina Press association <and he is very opti mistic as to tio success of the annual convention of the association, which will be held in Greenville during the first week in July. An attractive pro gramme is being arranged, he says, and all preparations are being made to give those who attend the conven tion the best sort of a good time.

April 26.-At the funeral of Miss Alda Cooley, who died at the hom-e of her parents, at Cooley Spring, this county, last week, eight young ladies, schoolmates of the deceased, acted as pallbearers.
