Between 250 and 350 of the stu dents reached GreenVillc -on special Southern train number 40 at 9:30 o'clock last night, and numbers of others -departed from the college at other times during the afternoon and evening. 1Fully 400 of the 779 students at Clemson left the state institution, ac cording to information obtained from cadets reaching Greenville, who aSi serted that the Junior and Senior Good Health for You Dr. Carter's K.& B.

No (iddilnite 'Information relative to the meeting of the upper classmnen was obtained last night. That the alleged unfair trial was merely the incident which caused a smoldering fire of discontentment to burst into ilames was the statement made by .students who reached Green ville last night. in conversation, the cadets, many of whom were in uni form, stated freely that "the adminis tration at Clemson College in some res)ects closely resembles an autoc racy and that some disciplinary Incas ures Imposed Iwere unjust and at times almost unbearable." Chief among .the -grievance of the cadets, as far -as could be learned, ap pear to be the following: That cadets are not given fair trials for alleged offenses; that the order forcing stu dents to iwork In the mess hall and kitchen .was unnecessary as poor pay was one reason for a dearth of wait ers; that the mess ball fare was very poor; that the general sanitary con ditions of the various buildings at Clemson is bad, and that cadets have not been accorded justice In a num ber of cases. Harold I. Turner, of 117 Memmin ger street, Greenville, who is presi dent of the Frshman class at Clem son, was among the boly of students reaching Greenville last night. Young Turner was reticent to talk of the af fair though he- intimated that he might make a statement in behalf of the students today: "I can only state ai tPrsent," saild 'Cadet Turner, that we hated to leave Clemson as we did and that we hope ACT ITlON WAS BAD Who Tells How She Was Relieved a of Black-Draught. doses of Black-Draught."

When conditions change, 'we will' all be anxious to go back. -We like Clemson and regret that this action is necessary, but we cannot go back until there is a change In existing conditions." From the conversation of students last night it was evident that many have been (issatisfied at Clemson for a long time. A series of events this week led to the immediate cause of the action on the part of the stu dents. Six men were detailed on Sunday morning to work in the dining room or kitchen, the authorities stating that this action was made necessary by sickness among the dining room scholarship students. On Monday, several of the class cooperative com mittees aippeared before President W. M. Riggs, and resented this order. According to the students, the or der was believed to be unnecessary and faillure to pay sulllcient wages for work in the (lining room was consid ered one reason for the shortage of waiters. The order 'was rescinded by noon Monday when the wages of waiters were raised, the students said, from $6 to $9 a month. Two cadets had been arrestcl for refusal to obey the order and they were released Mlonday afternoon. A demonstration took place on the campus Monday showing resentment against the action of the authorities and during this demonstration a num ber of students were seen with red badges and the cry of "Bolshevik!" was heard more than once. That this occurred is not deniled by the students 'who said that, when ask ed later by the authorities as to who took part in the demonstration, vir tually every' man who had taken part held up their lands in giving answer to the tuestion. One student, T. E. Crossland, of I5ennettsville, was arrested, charged with taking part in the demonstration and when tried Titesday night was sentenced to five weeks confinement, 20 demerits and 20 extra hours of walking. The other students broke cont inenent and were expelled. The students bitterly resented the sentence imposed upon Crossland and met yesterday at noon on the ath letic field. At 2 o'clock members of the Freshman and Solioiore classes marched to the oflice of President 13iggs and, through a spokesman, as( ed the release of Crossland and the reinstatement of the two mneni who were expelled, they claimed, unjustly. The president told them that they might appeal to the board of trus tees but that lie reftised t take fur ther action in the cases. Upon hear ing this, the students asserted, they marched away in an orderly manner and made arrangements for immedi ate departure. All of the students expressel the desire to return but stated that "ex isting conditions must be changed" before they .will consent to (10 this. That a full investigation of the mat ter by .the state is lesired, seemed to be the sentiment among the cadets in thiis city last night, the opinion being exp~ressedi that facts hitherto not gen erally known wouldl be brought to light if suc'h an investigation is made.
