Clemson College, March 10.?A
serious disciplinary situation has
arisen at Clemson coiege. .uau> ux
the students have already gone to
their homes and others may go. The
great majority of the sophomores and
freshman classes have left and the
juniors are considering going. It is
not believed, however, that the juniors
will go. The great majority of
students talked with today say that
they did not want to go but felt honor
bound to keep their promise to their
classmates to stand with them. The
4
following statement was secured from
the president andMiscipline committee:
v . "
M ' "Last Sunday morning the cadet in
- charge of dining room scholarship
'iK&Pi *
students reported to the commandant
that on account of sickness he lacked
six or eight men. The commandant,
the president with knowledge, thereupon
issued an order, stating that an
- emergency, existed, and that six men
would be detailed each day to assist
n V the scholarship students in the mess
c hall until the emergency was relievi
ed. 4
Cadets Resented Order.
^ "Monday morning, the president
was waited upon by several of the
class cooperative committee who stated
that the cadets very bitterly respntAd
the order referred to. Im
V mediate steps were taken to meet the
r/ emergency and during the forenoon,
by offering higher pay, a sufficient
jp - . v number of cadets to fill out the quota
of dining room scholarships were obg.y
tained. The order of Sunday was ref
voked at the Monday dinner hour and
two cadets who had been placed in
arrest because 'of failure to obey the
*.: order were released at 4:43 p. m.
When the dissatisfaction was at its
- height on Monday afternoon, and the
threat was made that some of the students
would return home, two sophoy
more who were in arrest in guard
^ room on account of having exceeded
-y . " the limit of 50 demerits, disregarded
their arrests and proceded to pack up
V their trunks. The cadets were last

& - college does not forcibly restrain stu
dents who are under discipline, but
f ; 1 places them in arrest. They are exp

"Another student, a freshman, who
had been detected by the commandant,
the only one of many, participating
in the disorder Monday afternoon,
f was given a local punishment which

y > "Today, Wednesday, after the dinPner
hour, the freshmen and sophomore
classes, without permission, as
> required by the regulations, held a
mass meeting on the athletic field and
from there marched to the president's
office. The president of the freshman
class asked the president to appear
before the two classes. As spokesman
for the two classes, he demanded
that the two sophomores, whom
the discipline committee had dismissed,
be immediately reinstated, and
that the freshman who had been givjffCi
.
en the local punishment be likewise
immediately relieved of this punish.

proper procedure provided in the
regulations, whereby any student who
had been punished by the discipline
committee could appeal to the board
of trustees. Also that the cadets
concerned could appeal for a rehearing
by the discipline committee if
they so desired, but that he would
not take action under any stress of
class or student demands. With that,
the meeting broke up, the two classes
indicating their intention to go home
in a body.
Red Badges Displayed.
"The present action is probably a
culmination of a discontent which has
been growing in the corps since
Christmas. During the disturbance on
Monday, red badges were displayed,
and the yell of ''Bolshevik" was frequently
heard. There are a great
many students in the corps, probably
nearly 300, who have seen military
service in one way or another, and
some of these are tired of it. Furthermore
the student army training
corps, a war measure at the college
last session, created a distaste for
military discipline. Then too on account
of labor and transportation
troubles and high costs, the cadet
mess has not been as good as heretoefore.
The whole matter will be referred
to the board of trustees and
meanwhile the college will proceed
with the work of the students who re

Nose and Got Away With It. I ?

! C
An old copy of the Western Senti- o
, nel, printed at Winston on June 5, ^
1 873, has an account of how Bill t
McGill, of Stokes county, almost pulled
the nose of Judge Cloud, who j
along about that time held court here i ?
for a number of years.
The story as told by the Sentinel 1
tl.A* Ji'ma ie ae fnllftU'C J
at uiai uiii^ i J ci o i w?i .. w.
A scene occurred at Stokes court *i
on Tuesday evening of the first week
of court, that was not down on the *
' bills.
At the fall, term, 1872, of Stokes
supreme court, a negro man noted for his
impudence, insulted W. D. McGill,
and sought shelter in the courthouse,
where McGill followe.d him
and gave him a beating in the presence
of the judge, and was fined $100
for contempt of court. McGill was indicted
for an assault, in the same
case, and was fined last week $50 by
Judge Cloud. After having been punished
by a severe fine for contempt
Mr. McGill was incensed at the heavy
fine imposed on him the second time,
and concluded that he would give his
honor just cause'to go for him in
regular heathen style, and on Tuesday
evening during the sitting of
" J il
court he warned upon me sianu aim
took a seat by the side of Judge
Cloud, and leaning over spoke in a
low tone to him and said, "if you was
not an old man I'd pull your nose,
you d?d old scoundrel." Judge
Cloud, who was expecting a friendly
message, was taken aback at what he
heard, and thinking he might have
misunderstood him, asked, him what
he said, and McGill repeated it. The
judge then called lustily for Sheriff
Gentry to come and arrest him and
take him away, saying he was drunk
and had threatened to pull the court's '
nose. McGill very coolly got up, and
spoke to the persons in the court
house and said it was untrue that he
was drunk, but he did tell the d?d
old rascal (pointing to Cloud) that
he would pull his nose.
The sheriff by this time had reached
the scene pi action when the judge
ordered him to carry McGill to jail
^nd keep him sixty days. As McGill
descended the stand he turned to
Cloud and said, "You nor any of your
party are honest," whereupon the
judge repeated his order of sixty days B
in iail. Bv this time the sheriff was _
descending the stairs leading down
out of the courtroom, and McGill fired
back at the judge and said: '<1*11 get
even with you and your party yet, ' '
you d-^-d oM scoundrel." The judge
then had McGill brought back and ex- It
amined the statute to see what was W
the extent of his power to punish in
the case, and finally ordered the sher- ^
iff to confine McGill in jail for thirty jjj
days, fine him $250 and to remain in _
jail until the fine was paid, and to
give bond in the sum of $1,000 with
good security to keep the peace with ^
all the citizens of the state. Sheriff r*
Gentry, with a guard, then started to w
jail with the prisoner, and had gone #'
some distance with him, and when 113
they arirved at Taylor's hotel where ^
a negro was holding McGill's horse, *
he pulled out a pistol and told them
to stand back; that he did not intend g
to go to jail, and called to the negro t]
to bring him his horse. As the sher- I
iff nor any of his guards were armed, K
and knowing McGill to be a desperate n<
man, they concluded it would be un- 11
healthy business to attempt to stop
him, and he mounted his horse and ?
rode slowly out or town. ^
We were present in the court house ^
and witnessed the whole scene, and
the above is a plain statement of the ~
of the affair without comment.
We learn that the judge had a bill H
brought against Sheriff Gentry for al- R
lowing the escape, and that the trial I
of the case has been removed to this I
