Wents of Clemson College wore dis.
iftissod, on Wednesday morning from
i' the institution. This numlier, with
m tne {forty-eight. members of lite jun tior
dlass dismissed the Saturday

dred' hnd five cadets dismissed on
account of the all-fools day escapade,
when' three hundred and nine boys
absented themselves from the campus
and all duties from early in the !
morning nutil late in the evening. Of
the three hundred and nine boys only 1
four were not dismissed. These were
E. B. McCrady, of Charleston, it. T. i
Knight,, of Chesterfield, .1. II. Hay- <
den'of Orangeburg, and .1. It. Fixer, 1
of Dorchester. On account of enten- i
nating circumstances in tlielr cases,
these young men were punished in !

property had been turned in to the
quartermaster the boys as directed by !
Commandant Mdnus, assembled in tin4 :
chapel.
, After all the cadets of the instilu- ;
tlon were seated and after tlio regular
cha])el services were concluded President
Mell arose and in a few 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
handed Cadet Adjutant Tindall an
order to be published at once. This
order provided for the dismissal from
the college of 43 members of the preparatory'
clasfc, 132 members of the
freshman class and 82 members of
the sophmore class. The laws of
Clemson college prohibit expulsion.
Dismissal means that tile connection
>yith Cleinsor. college of the ilu? cadets
dismissed is peemantly absolved.
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 over
had. They have been patient and
have heard .every cadet under the
serious charge. They have worked
'deliberately and with the detenuinuC,
p|rwronging no man. i heir ac.
\ rtAqn W dismissing the cadets was based
on the testimony of tlft> individual
chdeta us to the circumstances suriBbundttig
each case. A heavy load
lids jieen lifted from the hearts of
the fommittee members. They h^ve
acted conscientiously throughout the
Entire'trouble.

BEATEN BY NEGROES.
Two Men Seriously Hurt niul Their
Assailants in Jail.
A dlstpateh to The State from Atlanta
says J. B. Sturgeon was badly
cut and knocked unconscious and B.
B. Sims seriously cut by eight negroes
on Saturday night.
Sims and one of the negroes had a
difllcult^ over a box of rifle cartridges
and blows were exchanged,. After
this the negro disappeared and Sims
supposed that the matter was at an
end. Later on, however, the negro
returned with seven friends, all wen
armed with knives and sticks.
They attacked Sims and Sturgeon,
who came to his aid, inflicting probably
fatal wounds on the latter. Sturgeon
was unconscious hut hope is entertained
for his recovery. >
Six of the assailants have been
arrested and bound over to await trial
and the officers are making every effort
to capture the other two. This
is ihe culmination of thef growing
feeling of antagonism between wfcitej
and negroes In that section.

MAKE MANIA' STATEMENT.

As .lust.
To the Editor of The State:
The newspaper reports of the rscent
trouble at Clenison college being
more or less incorrect and not altogther
fair and impartial, wo, the
undersigned ex-members of the junior
class desire to give to the people
of the State what we conscientiously
believe to be a true and impartial
statement of the facts. We c'o not
believe that any one knowingly made
an incorrect statement; but we do
know that some of t In' newspaper reports
were written by men who knew
but. little about the facts which they
attempted to state. Consequently,
some blunders were made, an we consider
it our duty to the people of the
State to* correct, sis fsir sis possible,
these luistsikes.
Taking up these statements In order.
we desire to make the following
eorrct ions:
1. The newspaper articles referred
to above stated that several orders
and warnings were published sit retreat
on the evening of March 31st.
As a matter of fact, only one order
was published, and that called attention
to paragraph 126 of the "Regulations
for the Government of Ca
dels." The order in question was as
follows:
"Headquarters Corps of Cadets.
"Cletnson Agricultural Col'.ego
"Clemson Colleae, S. C.,
"March 3* IftoS.
"General Orders No. 4 2.
"Par. 1. The attention of the corps
of cadets is especially directed to paragraph
126 of 'The Regulations for
the Government of Cadets,' which
reads as follows:
I " 'Any cadet who leaves barracks
[without authority at any time between
retreat and reveille, shall he
dismissed.'
"By order of Capt. Minus."
As far as we have been able to
find out, no one left barracks without
authority during that time. The
newspaper reports made it seem that
this order was intended for the next
day, when the order itself plainly
snows mat it was not.
2. A statement was made that telegrams
were sent to Prof. It. H. Fike
informing him that his services were
no longer needed. It. II. Fike is a
cadet and not a professor; and the
telegram was sent in a spirit of fun,
merely to let Fike know that the
participants were carrying on their
April Fool celebration. Cadet Fike
was in no way connected with the affair.
3. The statement that the rest of
the students were very indignant over
the action of their comrades is a mistake,
as practically the whole student
body treated the matter as a joke.
4. Cadet T. S. Allen was not a leader
in the celebration. In fact, there
were no leaders, everybody acting for
himsslf. Cadet Allen did, after the
juniors were dismissed from college,
advise the rest of the students to remain
at college, hut did so because
he thought that by using his in
, fluonee ire might help to prevent
. the lower classmen from leaving wit I
the juniors.
f>. There was also a slight mistake
made as to the number of students
in the junior class. 'I here were onlj
81 students in the class; 4 8 of these
. were dismissed and one suspended. Ol
the rest, several were on the atheletic
teams and would have gone on
the "lark" had they not been persuaded
by their classmates not to go,
We do not wish to cast any reflection
on any one; our purpose being
to correct some statements that might
create a wrong Impression among the
people'of the State.
Tn conclusion, we, the undersigned,
vvielt f/\ env ^e 4-u,~
. \J 011,1 IU tlic Ut 11,11!-!
and other States that we, the dismissed
cadets of Clemson college, do now
feel the seriousness of the offense and
think that the punishment received
was just; and that we have absolutely
110 ill feelings toward the action of
the discipline committee of Clemson
college. We realize that the mistake
was a serious one but we do not feel
that any disgrace attends our dismissal.

Is No Longer In Hare For Uuited
States Senator.
The Hon. D. S. Henderson, of Aiken.
has withdrawn from the race for
United States Senator. He gave out
the following statement:
"Some time ago I announced that
I would be a candidate for the long
term for United States Senator, but
there are now reasons, in which the
public would not be interested. which
induce me not to enter the race,
and I feel it my duty to my friends
to so state at this juncture, in order
that t'i"v may a'ign them.reive? where
and with whom they see fift.
"I am very grateful for the support
which my faithful fri-jndjj have
tendered me.
"If any issue personal to myself
was made or if there was any pfinlic
issue in which the welfare of the
State and public at large were involved
that would arise in the on
nuiiiK cuuviLss i woma conuuue imp
race to the end; but as none sueti exist
there is no duty which requires
such action on my part. There will
be no dearth of candidates from present
appearances, and for the good of
the State I hope the people will make
a wise choice."

GOT I IKK ITCTI/KK HACK.
Taken From a Dead Union Soldier
During the War.
Taken from the body of a Union
soldier on the battlefield of Chancellorsville,
a daguerrotype of a young
man and girl lias been returned to
the girl in the picture after a search
lasting thirty-three years. '
The search has been conducted by
Edgar M. Whitenour, a retired freeholder
of Patterson, N. J. His wife's
father, Nicholas Barnes, member of
a New Jersey regiment, was captured
in the civil war. The daguerrotype
was given to him hv n Uonfetlerntn

send north. On the hack of the case
were the names of John Rawson and
Nellie Augusta Nettleton. Mr. Whitenour
for years has been trying to
trace these names and locate, if possible,
the woman whose likeness was
presented.
Recently the history of the Nettleton
family was consulted and the
result was the finding of a claimant
for the picture. Nellie Augusta Nettleton
was finally located in the person
.of Mrs. T. S. Stowe, of Mil ford,
Conn. The daguerreotype known in
her youth is now is her posessiou.

SHOT GIRL AND S|LF
THE TERKIBLK AIT OF AN OLl>
FOOL.
An Old Marric^Inii Bwoinps Infatn
it ted With a Young Girl and '
dors Hor.
Jealous of a 17-year-old girl, Samuel
H. Gardner, aged 59, a prominent
civil engineer, residing at McKees
Rocks, a surburb of Pittsburg. Pa.,
I Wednesday shot the youngs woman,
I Miss Dorothy Yost, through the heart
jcausing instant death, and then fired
a bullet into his mouth, dying three
I \ r
| hours later in a hospital, without
having regained consciousness.
Gardner, who is a married man,
with several grown children, lived
next door to Mrs. Bradley's, the girl's
'mother. Both Gardner's and Miss
j Yost's families are proiuiuent, and
i have up to the time of the shooting
been on the best of terms.
Wednesday evening, Miss ^ost, accompanied
by a young man friend attended
services at the Presbyter! m
Church, where Miss Yost was a member
of the choir.
ft Is said when Gardner heard of
this he became greatly enraged. He
arose in excellent spirits the next
morning, however, according to his
wife, ate his breakfast and after kissing
her, Jeft the house and went to
a hardware store nearby. Here he
purchased a revolver, informing the
'clerk he was "going to fix some burglars."
After leaving the store Gardner
met the young man who escorted
Miss Yost to chuch, and shaking his
list at him, said: I'm going to get even
with you." Gardner made his ?
way past his own home* and entered
the Bradney residence. Miss Yost
was on the second floor, and Gardner
went up therfe to her. What passed
between them there will probably
never be known.
The next instant a number of persons,
Including Mrs. Bradley and
Mrs. Gardner, were attracted by two
shots. Rushing into the big house
they found Miss Yost dead and Gardj
ner dying.
Mrs. Gardner said that two weeks
ago her husband conftssed to* her
that he was infatuated %with the
