The potato bug, whioh proved to
be so destructive to the Irish potato
crop last year, totally destroying
it in many places, has already
made its appearance and is ready
for the fray. They can be exterminated,
however, by mixing one ,
ounce of paris green in three
pounds of Qour and sifting this on
the potntoes. The Southern Cnlti,
vntor recommends this and says
there is no danger of poisoning
the potatoes. This shonld be done
immediately after the first bug is
seen, for they can soon ruin the
entire patch.

It is understood that there isreason
to expect a relief nt hii early
date from the high price of meats,
Hiid that within a mouth or six
weeks they will have reached nearly
or exactly their former level.
This good news will he hailed with
delight by the people of all sections,
who for the pnst sevetal
weeks have been compelled toeither
refrain from partaking of steaks
and roasts or else pay a price for
tliem that staggered the housekeepers.
The hope of n change for
the better is based on the apticU

of them on the market and a

CLEMSON STUDENTS L
T
Sfivp.ntv.fnnr Snnhmnre
count of Suspension
The daily papers of last Wednesday,
which arrived just ufter
T! le Times had been issued, announced
that there was serious
trouble on between the faculty and
members of the eophmore class of
Clemson College, and that sixtynine
of the class had left for their
homes. The remaining five have
since departed, having obtained
discharges.
The uction of the students in
leRving was the result of the notion
of the faculty in suspending
Cadet Allison Tliornwell, of Fort
Mill, a few days ago. When
Tliornwell was suspended the members
of the sophuiore class petitioned
to have hi in reinstated.
ThiB the faculty refused to do and,
therefore, the class agreed to leave.
Both sides of the story agree very
closely, though there are some differences.
A meeting of the faculty was
held just after the students had
left and the following statement
was given out. It was written by
Col. R. W. Simpson, chairman of
the board of trustees, and was endorsed
by President Hartzog:
"The faculty last week awarded
punishment to a student of the
soplunore class by suspending him
until the end of the session. The
soplunore class petitioned the faculty
to reinstate the student. The
faonlty mot again and heard a
committee of the class but saw no
reason to grant, their request.
Thereupon n number of the class
left awl went to their several
homes. While the faculty regret
this action on the purt of the students,
they feel compelled to maintain
discipline.
"The offence which Cadet Thornwell
was guilty of was taking four
glass test tubes from the chemical
laboratory without permission. The
members of the faculty say they
have been troubled a great tleal by
actions of this kind and decided
Borne time ago to break up the
practice. Notice was given that
the next offender caught would be
severely dealt with. Cadet Thornwell
was caught, and his suspension
followed. These tubes, which
are small glass cylinders, with little
or no value, may not have been
taken with any wrong intent, the
faculty say, but the taking of them
was a violation of the rules. As a
matter of fact, the faculty say, the
college has been annoyed a great
deal by the disappearance of a
number of small articles, such as
tools, wrenches, etc, and it was decided
ahsoliitel v MPcoamirii in i>ni
J ,...J ?w !?? ?
an emphatic end to the business."
The student's side of the question
is this: They admit that there
is a rule that 110 test tube or other
college apparatus shall lie taken
for use by any of the students
without the consent of the professors,
but they say it has not been
observed generally. Cadet Thornwell
did take four of the tubes
from the general store to his desk,
or stand, as it is called, in the
building, but that ho took them
for use in class work and they
c msider his suspension an outrage,
as no wrong was intended.
The students say they thought the
facts had been misrepresented or
exaggerated to the faculty, and pe.
titionod for a rehearing of the case i
in order that all the circumstances
might be brought out, When the
faculty refused their request they
felt that loyalty to their classmate
demanded that they should leave
the college in a body and this was
[lone. The main point urged hy
the students in that the punishment
in Acted 011 young Thorn well
ia in excess of that warranted by
the case.
For instance, they nay, there is a
Jolh-gp rule that a student found
with iuphh hall property in his
room shall bp given ten demerits,
rot there was a student who simply
violated a rule and unwittingly
took certain college property for
ise in class work without removing
it from the building and was
(impended therefor.
The remaining students are very
ouch wrought up and are over

wheliningly in sympathy with the
soplunores. When the sophmoreB
decided to leave many of them did
not linve sufficient money to get
away on. Money was furnished
them by the members of the other
classes and the college sooieties
exhausted their treasuries. i
The departure of tlie cadets was j
conducted in a quiet and orderly
manner, and there was no demonstration
or excitement, but a great
deal of feeling and determination
President Hartzog and the other i
members of the faculty say that
they regret the matter very much,
but feel that they simply discharged
their duty as required by i
the circumstances. "It was simply <
a question," said Col.Simpson, "as
to who should run this college, the
faculty or the students. The fac- i

noon, saysu special of Hatuiday to
The State. Col. Stephenson, of the
King's Mountain Military academy j
took fourteen of the cadets in conveyances
to the pond for a swim
about 4 o'clock. Col, Stephenson
states that he asked the boys if
they could swim and they replied
that they could, but he soon found
that they were not experts and can,
tinned them about going into deep
water.
Cadet Henry G. Stevens,of Kershaw,
and Cadet Ed. Ni -hols, who
resides a few miles from town, were
playing in the water. Stevens got
beyond his depth. Nichols went
to his assistance and was pulled
under, when Cadet Frank Lind*
Bay, of Yorkville, son of Capt. ?T. P, |
Lindsay, went to the rescue and all
three went under the water.
Everything was done that medu
cnl skill and work of willing hands
could do to resusitnto the unfortunate
boys, but without success.
Three unexpressibly SHd funerals
at three different points in York
county Sunday afternoon made up
the final chapter of the terrible '
tradegy that occurred at Black's
pond Saturday.
To Forpi An Association,
The Rock Hill Buggy company
has undertaken to organize a southern
association of carriage and
wagon manufacturers and has arranged
for a general meeting of all
such manufacturers to he held at
the exposition in Charleston from |
May (? to i>, for the purpose of organizing,
a banquet being g veil
at the Hotel Argyle on the evening
of the 9th. The governor has been
invited to he present and address
the convention, but it is not likely
that In* will be able to attend on
any of the dates named. There
are many carriage and wagon factories
in the South and it is believed
that such an association as
is proposed will do much good.

There will be 110 meeting of the
board of trustees," continued Col.
Simpson, "because there is no
need for it. The incident, while
very much deplored, has occurred
and ended, and the college will
proceed as though nothing had
happened. We deeply regret the
hasty action of the students, and
wo believe no one will regret it
more than the students themselves
when they realize what a mistake
they have made."
Further Trouble Narrowly Averted.
A message sent out from Clemson
Wednesday afternoon stated
that everything was quiet there,
but there was a good deal of excitement
in the forenoon. The
junior and freshmen classes met
Tuesday night and resolved to
leave the college in a body unless
the faculty call for a meeting of
the trustees and have the eutirel
soph more class, including Cadet ;
Thornwell, reinstated.
The college authorities got wind

Col. Simpson, to talk to the stu- i
dents in one of the class rooms.
Col Simpson reasoned with them
and finally persuaded them to defer
action until the trustees held a
meeting ?nd took action, It is
stated that there will not be a special
meeting of the trustees, but
that their next regular meeting
will be held early in in dune. Col.
Simpson has a great deal of im
fluence with the students.
Cadet Thorn well received notice
on Monday that a meeting of the
hoard of trustees of Oleutson would
be held on Thursday, when the
circumstances which led to his
suspension would be thoroughly
investigated. It is hoped that thoj
faculty and students may yet reach
n satisfactory conclusion and end
this unfortunate affair.
