Them of the Need for Preserv*
lug Discipline.
Two hundred and flfty-Beven students
of Clem6on College were dismissed
on Wednesday morning from
the institution. This number, with
the forty-eight members of the Junior
class dismissed the Saturday
morning before, aggregates three hnndrcd
and five cadets dismissed on
account of the ail-fools day escapade,
when three hundred and nine boys
absented themselves from the campus
and all duties from early in the
morning until late In the evening. Of
the three hundred and nine boys only
four were not dismissed. These were
H. B. McCrady. of Charleston, B. T.
Knight,, of Chesterfield, J. II. Hay-1
den of Orangeburg, and J. R. Flier,
of Dorchester. On account of entenuuting
circumstances in their cases,
these yoqng men were puniBhed in
some other wny than by dismissal.
At the regular morning drill the
names of the participants were called
and they dropped out aa they heard
their names called. After all the
property had been turned In to the
quartermaster the boys as directed by
Commandant Minus, assembled in the
chapel.
After all the cadets of the institution
were Rented and after the regular
chapel services were concluded Prea
wjtMii Men arose ana in a rew words
announced that he was extremely sorry
that the escapade had occurred.
He was very sorry, he said, that the
guilty boys would have to be dealt
with severely, but discipline was* absolutely
necessary and the college
authorities must be obeyed by the
cadets.
After President Mell had concluded
Commandant Minus addressed the
cadets along the same lines as Dr.
Mell. When he had concluded he
banded Cadet Adjutant Tlndall an
order to he published at once. This
order provided for the dismissal from
the college of 4 3 members of the preparatory
class, 132 members of the
freshman class and 82 members of
the aophmore class. The laws of
Clemson college prohibit expulsion.
Dismissal means that the connection
with Clemson college of the 2 57 calaood
la yiwf m uiktly ?kl>oolv o<l.
These cadets may enter other colleges
In or out of South Carolina.
The members of the discipline
committee have just gone through
the hardest experience they have ever
had. They have been patient and
have heard every cadet under the
serious charge. They have worked
deliberately and with the determination
of wronging no man. 'i heir action
in dismiBHlng the cadets was bnsi
ed on the testimony of the Individual
cadets bh to the circumstances surrounding
each case. A heavy load
has been lifted from the hearts of
the committee members. They have
acted conscientiously throughout the
entire trouble.
; Following is a list of the cadets
by classes who were dismissed from
the college Wednesday.

SEN ATOR TILLMAN AT ATLANTA
He Will Be Treated for Nerrous
Breukdown by Expert*. ,
Senator B. R. Tillman of South
Carolina reached Atlanta at 9 o'clock
Tuesday morning accompanied by his
wife, and went at once to the Robertson
sanitarium on Capitol avenue, ,
where he will remain for several
weeks, posBihiy a month, after which
it is his intention to go abroad.
A dispatch to The State from Atlanta
says Senator Tillman came here
for treatment for nervous breakdown,
the result of overwork. While his
present condition is not serious, it is
such, it is stated at the sanitarium,
that It might take a serious turn at
any time. A reporter who called at
the sanitarium and asked to see the
senator received word from him that
he was not feeling well enough to talk
now, and suggested that he return
later in the week. While be is off
but little In weight, he is exceedingly
feeble and has little of his customary
animation.
He had reached the point where a
collapse was liable almost at any moment
and he determined to prevent
It If possible. While his present complaint
1b nothing more than nervous
I broakdown, it is said his main object
in taking a prolonged rest is to prevent
a threatened attack of paralysis,
indicated by the almost numbness of
his left arm and a pain in his.left
side. While it can not bo definitely
stated now, the belief seems to he
that he has taken hold of the matter
in time and that his recovery will bo
effected.

OWNUPUKEMEN. I
rHK DISMISSED CLEM SON CADETS T<
MAKE MANLY STATEMENT.
Acknowledge Tliey Made Serious Mis- A?
take and Accc|its Their Punishment
As Ju. t.
To the Editor of The State:
The newspaper reports of the rs- ni
cent trouble at Cleinson college being vn
more or less incorrect and not alto- hi
gther fair and impartial, we, the st
undersigned ex-members of the jun- Wi
ior cIubs desire to give to the people **
of the State what we conscientiously
believe to 'be a true and impartial Fl
statement of the facts. We do not
believe that any one knowiugiv made CI
D
an incorrect stutement; but we do
O
know that some of the newspaper reports
were written l?y men who knew g
but little alKiut the facts which they O
attempted to state. Consequently, C<
some blunders were made, an we ccn- ^
sider it our duty to tho peop'e of the p
State to correct, as far as possible, G
these mistakes. C1
Taking up these statements in order.
we desire to make the following ^
corrctions: H
1. The newspaper articles referred p
to above stated that several orders u
and warnings were publ'shed at re- p
treat on the evening of March Hist, p
As a matter of fact, only one order h
was published, and that called atten- p
lion to paragraph 126 of the "Regu- q
lations for the Government of Ca <3
dots." The order in question was as
follows: Ic
"Headquarters Corps of Cadets. j c
"Cieiuson Agricultural Col'ege q
"Clemson College. S. C., p
"March 31, 19oS. p
I "General Orders No. 4 2.
"Par. 1. The attention of the corps
i of cadets is especially directed to parj
ngraph 126 of 'The Regulations for ?
! the Government of Cadets.* which ?
reuus us ionnws;
" 'Any cadet who leaves barracks r,
without authority at any time be- ?
twoen retreat and reveille, shall be c
dismissed.' f
"By order of Capt. Minus." e
As far as we have been able to c
find out. no one left barracks without p
authority during that time. The;*
uowspaper reports made it seem that it]
this order was intended for the next a
day, when the order itself plainly n
shows thnt it was not. c
2. A statement was made that tele- p
grams were sent to Prof. II. H. Fike ,,
informing him that his services were ^
no longer needed. R. II. Fike is a j
cadet und not a professor; and the j
telegram was sent in a spirit of fun, t
merely to let Fike know that the e
participants were carrying on their c
April Fool celebration, cnaei riki-' j
was in no way connected with the af-! f
fair. ' t
3. The statement that the rest of i
the students were very indignant over !
the action of their comrades is a mis- j
take, as practically the whole student!
body treated the matter as n Joke.
4. Cadet T. S. Allen was not a lead-!
er in the celebration. In fact, there j1
were no leaders, everybody acting for i
himsslf. Cadet Allen did. after the j v
Juniors were dismissed from college, jc
| advise the rest of the students to re- j 0
{main at college, but did so because,8
he thought that by using his In- j ^
i fluence he might help to prevent
the lower classmen from leaving with 8
ithe juniors. '
6. There was also a slight mistake'8
; made as to the number of students!
in the junior class. There were only 1
181 students In the class; 48 of thosej?
were dismissed and one suspended. Of
the rest, several were on the athe-'K
1 let if* team* :?nH uyimM cr/.nn ? *'
the "lark" had they not heon persundcd
by their classmates not to go. a
We do not wish to cast any reflec- *
tlon on any one; our purpose being 1
to correct some statements that might '
create a wrong impression among the a
people of the State.
In conclusion, we. the undersigned. 1'1
wish to say to the people of this j
and other States that we. the dismiss- j
ed cadets of Clemsou college, do now a
feel the seriousness of the offense und j1
think thut the punishment received i
was just; und that we have absolutely
no ill feelings toward the actiou ot'
the discipline committee of Clemsou
college. We realize that the mtstake j
was a serious one but we do not feel j
thut any disgrace attends our dismis- 1
sal.

Amount of cotton made, four bales;
relght of all together. 1.950 pouuds;
otton seed. 3,900 pounds.
The Editor of the Cultivator. i:i
ommenting on the above figures says
we often see estimates of growi ig
otton; but we have never seen a
nil itemized statement of the who.e
xpense from January to January. Of
ourse it would beb a ditfirult account
o keep. There are so many incidents
and indirect expenses. Rut two
hings stand out; a farmer must make
. bale per acre to make any money,
,nd second, he should have otheT
rops and some form of livestock to
profitably employ his time when not
nguged In working his cotton, if hr
IcslreB to prosper. It would certainy
take the seed, even at $1.00 pei
lundred to pay. interest on land and
axes. So we would have Mr. Woot
sn's cotton to cost him about 9 Vis
:ents. We are satisfied this is s
air estimate of the cost of the croi
or 1907, for labor and everything
;lse was high."

By a Prelrudwd Detective ami Carried

Detective Disappears.
Hrauchvillu had a genuine sensation
on Tuesday when Rev. William
Jefferson, alias William Blackmail,
colored, was arrested th "re. charged
with the murder of his wife and two
children In Alabama In 1902. The
arrest was made by \V. B. Williams,
Jr., a colored detective of Bamberg
county. Rev. Jefferson (as the brethren
call him) has been preuchiug
to hia people at Bruuchville for the
past, two years and seemed to be well
thought of by his congregation, hut
; alas, murder will out.
It is reported that Rev. Jefferson
chose as his text on Sunday the following
scripture: "Tbop shall not
Kill." It is reported that there was
a reward of $300 offered by the State
of Alabama for the arrest of Jefferson
and that his reputation in Alabama
is not at all good.
It is further said that when the detective
found Jefferson and ordered
him to throw up his hands that, instead
ol doing as commanded by the
officer that he attempted to resist arrest
and that the otficer fired at him
j with a shot gun and hit him in the
abdomen with several small shot
