Cadet Cantey reached his home in Sum merton yesterday, where he will spend a few days, and until after the board of vis itors report the result of their investiga tions. The board of visitors meet to-day and the probability is that there will be a wholesale expulsion of cadets. This morn ing's News and Courier contains an un signed communication which attempts to justify the conduct of the cadets, and which contains a denial of the report that many of the caddet ere under the influence of 'rially the News and Cou 1e action of the cadet-mob the hands of the Citadel - >)rough investigation .and it as the outrage requires. of the cadets must be ex A torpid liver robs you of ambition and ruins your health.

In last week's Tnms there appeared a little "want" notice asking for boarders at Mr. Geo. I. Lesesne's, on Santee, and Mr. A. S. Briggs, who lives not far from this town, made a bee line for the place, hoping to be the first applicant and get a select hollow, but to his surprise, before he reached Mr. Lesesne's he met coming away Messrs. M. E. Mellette, Willie Mellette and T. H. Connors. They had preceded him by getting up earlier in the morning, and thus secured -old carriage' on Horse creek. He found on his arrival another contingent of health-seekers; these were Messrs. Loney Watt, Dinkins Hodge, Shelby Davis and Joe Sprott. We have not yet learned whether they all secured as comfortable places as they would like, but they will find Mr. Lesesne a fine host and he will give them a bill of fare that will make an epicure smack his mouth. Mr. Briggs se lected his room in "secret hollow," which he proposes to occupy a little later on. We might state for tne benefit of our readers that those contemplating spending a while in Santee had better put in their applica tions early, as the demand will be great when "Uncle Sam" begins to look for his children. M. L. Tocum, Cameron, Pa., says: "I was a sufferer for ten years, trying most all kinds of pile remedies, but without success. DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve was recom mended to me. I used one box. It has ef fected a permanent cure." As a permanent cure tor piles DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve has no equal. R. B. Loryea, Manning; L. W. Nettles,Foreston; H. L. Wilson. Jordan. TETERANS' MEETING. The Old "Vets" to Meet Their Comrades in Charleston-They Will Be Accom panIed by Five of Clarendon's Sweetest Flowers - Hurrah for the "Vets." There was a sight in the court house last Saturday which was worthy the descriptive brush of an artist-the gathering of Harry Benbow Camp of Confederate Veterans, At this time, when the country is on the tiptoe of anxiety, not knowing what the morrow will bring forth, and in all proba bility the tocsin of war will be sounded before another sun goes down, there were assembled about fifty men whose hair was frosted by the winters of age. Some of them walked with a limp, others with an empty sleeve, and still others whose wounds were many, but covered with their clothing. These men had tramped the hills of Vir inia; these men responded to the call of their country, and truthfal history has erected a monument to their loyalty, devo tion and bravery, such as has never been written before and which will always be pointed to with pride. The men who as sembled on this occasion were the followers of the immortal Robert E. Lee. Before the opening of the meeting these battle-scarred "Johnnies" fought over the entire war and recounted their joys, sorrows and hard ships. It was indeed a beautifully sad picture to look upon. To think that this group are journeying down the hill of life and a majority of them have nearly reached the bottom; notwithstanding this the fire of patriotism still sparkles in their eyes. One of the number sat on one side; his hair was white, one arm was gone and the world was dark to him, but as he sat and listened to the remarks of the chairman his sightless eyes at one time appeared to open and with the remaining hand and one foot he joined in an applause to some patriotic sentiment. In the absense of Commander C. S. Land. Vice-Commander D. J. Bradham took charge of the meeting and he read ex tracts from a letter from Major Land ex pressing his regrets that indisposition pre vented his attendance. Captain Bradham then gave his comrades a talk, during which he referred to the "days gone by," and in a pathetic manner he alluded to the work that Father Time was doing. He spoke of his anxiety to have Harry Benbow Camp well represented at the Charleston re-union and the kind invitation of the la dies of that city to entertain, and he urged that as many as possible take advantage of the trip. Then he told them that he wanted the "boys" to assenable in Manning on the 26th and march to the depot to the tap of the drum after partaking of a barbecue which would be furnished them; that they would have a car to themselves and have a jolly time. Then the speaker very feelingly alluded to the present condition of the country and expressed the hope that peace will reign, but from the outlook he feared that a crisis was upon us, and when the 'veterans marched to Charleston their sons would be there in service ahead of them. CaptainBradham's speech was full of pa triotic sentiments, and several times he brought tears from the eyes of some of his comrades. The camp reorganized with the following fficers: Col. D. W. Brailsford, Commander. Moses Levi, Vice-Commander. S. P. Holladay, Adjutant. Geo. R. Jones, Secretary-Treasurer. Rev, James McDowell, Chaplain. Major Land, Captain Bradham and S. J. Bowman, former officers, declined re-elec The following were elected delegates to the camp re-union: Col. D. W. Brailsford, M., Levi, Capt. D. J. Bradham. Maj. A. J. Richbourg, Col. H. L. Benbow, J. Elbert Davis. The camp evidently intend taking Char leston by storm. and every effort will be made to get a full force to go. A committee consisting of D. J. Brad bam,M. Levi and S.A.Rigby was appointed to induce their comrades to take advantage of this magnificent opportunity. That these "vets" do not intend to do things hal way may be seen by the high ompliment they paid to five of Claren don's beautiful and accomplished daugh ters. They selected Miss Elenora Norvelle ERichardson of Panola their sponsor, and for maids of honor, Misses Margarette A. Tindal, Folders; Annie Mabel Cantey, Summerton, and Lucie Barron and Mellie Nelson of Manning. With this bevy of lovely young ladies to accompany the old soldiers, we have no doubt that Clarendon will have a place in the picture second to none. The leading spirits in the affair are so in earnest that Harry Benbow Camp should be fully represented that it was an nounced that no comrade should stay away on account of lacking in funds, for a com mittee was appointed consisting of D. J. Bradham, A. M. Brailsford, S. R. Cole, C. S. Land and J. W. Fleming to see to it that every comrade who would, could go. Veterans, remember the day.

B. Loryea, Manning ; L. WV. Nettles, Foreston; H. L. Wilson, Jordon. We Are improving. Manning has begun to put on city airs, that is, one of our enterprising mercantile firms has exhibited a spirit of progress which will, we have no doubt, put the other merchants to improving, foi it is a fact that Manning has now a set of mer chants who watch others closely, and if one puts in an improvement another will go one better. Harvin & Barron have taken the lead this time and put into their spacious store a cash carrier system, and already the peo pe are appreciating their energy by going to look at the wonder and allowing some of their cash to ride upon the wires. In speaking to Mr. Barron, the business manager of the firm, we inferred that his cash carrier system was not the only addi tion he has in view, and that before the busy season sets in, it would not surprise us to see the store brilliantly lighted with electric lights. There is no use scoffing at the idea, for it is a fact that where such an enterprising disposition is exhibited, it is appreciated by the people who have learned to regard such men as public benefactors, and if they have the nerve to put into their store the modern improvements they also have the nerve to put modern prIces upon their goods, and modern prices these days TROUBLE AT THE CITADEL. Cadets Try to Force SergL Major Can tey, Who Recently Reported Cadets for Breaking Barracks, to Leave the Institution. An attempt made by seventy-five cadets to force Cadet Cantey to leave the institu tion caused an open rebellion at the South Carolina aIilitary Academy last night. Chief of Police Boyle had to be called on to protect Cantey and the officers of the in stitution, and for nearly two hours a squad of thirty policemen was stationed in the quadrangle to await a general attack, which was momentarily expected from the boys, who were wild with excitement. The shouts and yells from the Academy brought a big crowd of people from the neighboring streets and houses. Many of the cadets were under the influence of whiskey. This was admitted by the police und officials at tLe Citadel. When the police marched in the iron doors the cadets hissed -hem loudly, and during their stay in the place the continued talking and shouting made the walls echo with a sound such as has never been known in the Acaderay before. After midnight the ringleaders appeared to grow less boisterous. They were hoarse from much shouting, and the presence of the pol.ce prevented them from carrying out their plans in regard to Cantey. Short ly after midnight orders were given for the police to quietly march out. This brought on more cries from the boys. A squad was stationed in front of the main entrance to the building, and at headquarters Chief Boyle and his officers remained on duty until an early hour this morning. What made matters bad last night was that the cadets had access to the guns and all of them had loaded cartridges. Trouble leading up to the crisis last night has been brewing since several cadets were reported two weeks agc, for breaking ranks to attend a dance. Srgt. Major Cantey reported the affair and five cadets were sus pended. At the meeting of the board of visitors last week the boys were taken back into the institution. A secret plan was afterwards put on foot to get Cantey out. Col. Coward heard yesterday that trouble would result, and he asked Chief Boyle to have his men in readiness for any emer gency which might arise. At 11 o'clock last night a committee of twenty, representing the corps, went to Cadet Cantev's room. Col. Coward sus pcted something and stopped the boys. When the boys saw that they could not pass Col. Coward to reach Cantey they dropped back and the rebellion followed. Only three officers of the institution were in the building. The men on dyty were powerless to stop the row. It was feared that bloodshed would be the end ofi the general uprising and orders were sent the police to come in. The first officer in the gate was met with a volley of hisses. Some of the men were expecting the cadets, in their wild state of mind, to open fire with a gun. This was expected. It would have been the signal for a bloody battle in the quadrangle. A reporter for the News and Courier heard of the trouble on the street and hur ried to the building. When he reached the iron gateway he was halted, but the boys finding that he was after getting the story promptly opened the gate and sneaked him to a reception room. The leaders would not allow a light to be made, but a few minutes later Prof. Parker came in and requested the reporter to leave. As he left fifty boys shouted for him to hear their side of the affair. Col. Coward was seen this morning. The great strain had shown on him, but the re spect borne him by the cadets had saved Cantey. That respect, however, could not stop the riot. Col. Coward said he regret ted the affair and he would report it this morning to the chairman of the board. There can be but one end to the trouble, the authorities say. This morning the cadets were still gath ered on the galleries discussing the riot and singing songs. They were comipara tively quiet, but the police remained on duty outside. The crowds were ordered to leave the green. The five cadets who were taken back by the board of visitors were not allowed by the corps to participate in the movement to oust Cantey. The students claim that the whole trou ble grew out of tha fact that the superin tendent, commandant and board of visitors countenanced Cantey's action in reporting the cadets. This, they say, saused great indignation in the corps. Resolutions were drawn up some days ago and sent to antey's father, asking nim to withdraw his eon from the institution, but these proved of no avail. It was after this that the indignation among them reached such a point that eighty of their number, repre senting every class in the Academy, drew p resolutions to which they affixed their names, swearing on honor to force Cantey o leave the institution by last night at the latest. They met at the time appointed to carry out their purpose. They were di ided into squads of fifteen each, one squad alone at first being sent to notify Cantey of the determination reached by his fellow students. They started for Cantey's room as quietly as possible, but found the uperintendent and the commandant, who had previous knowledge of their purpose, waiting them there. It was then that the trouble ensued, an count of which has been given. -News ud Courier of Tuesday. Discovered by a Woman. Another great discovery has been made, and that too, by a lady in this country: Disease fastened its clutches upon her and for seven years she withstood its severest tests, but her vital organs were undermined and death seemed imminent. For three months she coughed incessantly, and could not sleep. She finally discovered a way to recovery, by purchasing of us a bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery for Consump ion, and was so much relieved on taking first dose that she slept all night, and with wo bottles has been absolutely cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz. Thus writes W. G. Hammick & Co. of Shelby, N. C. Trial bottles free at H. B. Loryea's drug store. Regular size 50c and S1.
