Bill Arp on Roosevelt's Remarks
About Davis.
BILL SAYS THEY WERE WROvG.
#
That Roosvelt Should Hasten to flake
Ample Amends For the Mistake He j
Has Made.
Once more unto the breach, geoJ
friends?once more." I would like o
know about what time President
Rcosevelt is going to retract what Ii?
wrote about President Davis. It has
now been proven by the official records
at Jackson. Miss., that Mr. Davis never
.was governor, nor was he ever a mem- |
ber of the legislature of that State, and
in a public address made after the act ^
of repudiation, he declared ho was op- J
posed to it and the debt ought to be
paid, ond this amateur historian do- !
nounces him in his book as an arch j
traitor and rcpuaiator. Mr. Davis
fought in Mexico for the honor of the
flag; wen the victory at Buena Vista:
was desperately wounded and for five
years walked with crutches; married
Z' General Taylor'6 daughter for his first '
wife and didn't run away with her. i'
cither; was secretary of war under , 1
Franklin Pierce, remodeled the curd- j 1
culum at West Point and it stands as
he f-amcd it; was a member of the
Fnited States Senate when his tSat*
seceded and. like i,c-?. he went '
; Jtr ?
with !*." ? peopie. ii<- aid not seek the :
presidency of the confederacy and in- i
sisted that another be chosen. Now all . j
this has long since been established ]
and if Mr. Roosevelt did not know it | (
l:e could have known it. He certainly j ,
-knows it now. and if he is a gentleman J (
he will retract it and apologize to Mrs. ; (
Davis and the family and to the saint- ; ^
ed shade of Miss Wine:? and to me
people of the South. Ho called him an
arch traitor and arch repudiator and [
compared him to Benedict Arnold and '
that slanderous libel is in print in a
book of so-called history and has poisoned
the minds of all the fools, fanatics
and idiots who have rend it. Whca
is he going to retract?
The International Cyclopedia, edited
by distijguished professors of Columbia
university and Dartmouth college.
says of Mr. Davis. "He was a
ripe scholar, a vigorous writer, a splendid
orator, a brave soldier, a true gen
tleman, a sturdy champion, a proud,
true patriot, a lover of liberty, a Christian
hero?this is the Jefferson Davis
th3t history will cherish." General
Lee was his bosom frier.d and coniident
and yet this so-called historian,
this rough rider and bear hunter.
. praises Lee while he defames his
friend, a man infinitely his superior in
everay moral attitude and every nobje
emotion. But maybe he will retract
and apologize, though Tom Moore
says: i
"But faith, fanatic faith, once wedded
fast
To seme dear falsehood hugs it to thf
last."
He had better rectraet, for some of on;
old soldiers arc very mad about it. |
They are talking about suing him for |
slander and garnisheeing the government
for his salary. Killing bears in
the wilderness won't sava him nor will
that little brush we had in Cuba. Thai
is perhaps the biggest 11.tie war we
have ever had and every small politician
and stump orator who wants ar.
office jumps up and say3 wo are all
brethren now. We lit and font and btcd
together at San Jauan and Santiago
and then we crossed the wr.de c.-can t
whip out some niggers ao.d wo will
eoon all be on the pension i oil. An
old veteran S3id to mo. "That little
Spanish war reraindo me of the fellow
who was drowned at Johnston, and
when he knocked at the gate St. Pe er
didn t recognize n;m ana reius.ua iu *- .
bim in. 'Why. my dear sir,' said he. 'I
am one of the Johnstown sufferers. I
was drowned in that flood.' So the
good saint relented and let him in. lie
wandered about heaven, looking at the
beautiful thin - ar.d after a while
came across e.; old man and said,
'Coed morning, old gentleman; glad to
see you. Been here a lor.^ time. I reckon?'
The old man said nothing. 'J
am one of the Johnstown sufferers. I
was drowned in that great flood.' Th
old man did not reply, but turned ami
walked slowly away. So the fellow
went to St. Peter and asked w.' f that
old man was. 'He would not speak jo |
me.' said he. "though I teld him I was I
1a the great Good at Johnston.' And
St. Peter tepiicd, "That old man. sir. is
Noah and he had a flood of his own
to think about.' "
And now we read that all the horrors
of our civil war are being repeated
in the Philippines. In our war it
was the white yankees who made war
hell for us, but now they are making
it hell for the negroes in the Philip
pines. We were trying to smother
what our people suffered, but they
won't let u-3 and now boast that Gen
eral Sherman found it the best way to
she ten the war. No. we old men and
women can't forget and I hope that or.
children ami grand-children will learu
it all in some Southern history. Th"
cifilined world has not forgo''en Hevod
n:r">?ero ror the dukp of Alva nor the
ma?^ere c? St. Bartholomew. where
CO 0.9 Protestor t3 were but "hered in n
night. Hut when v.TiI Teddy repeat
retract and apologize? He has got it
to do sooner or later or go down in
history as a malicious defamr-r of one
whose shoes he was not worthy to unloose.
He and Miles will get together
some time and some where. Now, why
does not Teddy consider the feelings of
our people in his appointments to
Southern offices? Why did he not give
Savannah a white man for a collector?
Appointments of negroes to be postmasters
and revenue collectors are an
insult to us. and he knows it. If he
has such affectionate regard for thoee
negroes why not give them a place at
Washington or Albany or D:3ton or a
consulship at Hayti or can Dominga?
These offices are the nearest of ail to
our people- The postoflire is our trysting
place, a kind of Mecca, and the
postmaster our confident. That officer
should above all others be acceptable
to the majority of the people. The co'leetor
has the commerce of a city in his
lands and under his control, and that
commerce is all white?none of it
comes from the negro race. What excuse
can he give for such appointments?
None, and when is h? going
to retract and apologize for that slander
of Mr. Davis? Ecjjo answerers*

CLEMSON MATTER SETTLED
Cadet Thornwell Reinstated By th<
Board of Trustees.
Clcmson College, Special.?The in
restigation of the recent trouble in tno j
college has been concluded and the
trustees have adjourned and gone
home. The net results of tiie investigation
are these:
Cadet Thorn well has been reinstated
The sophomore class will be allowed ic
return and resume their studies, on
the condition that they will be ready to
stand their examination in September
for entrance to the junior claos. The
charges which were preferred by :fc(
committee of students against President
Hartzcg weie withdrawn. President
Hartzog has tendeto i his resignation.
to take effect at the pleasure o!
the trustees. The' resignation v/il not be
considered or acted on until the reguar
meeting of the board in June, at
commencement.
President Hartzog's resignation was
placed in the hands of the board several
days ago. He said he tendered it
so the trustees might not fee! any embarrassment
or hesitency on his ac- j
count in making the most rigid and
thorough investigation. \
When the trustees met cacct uiauue
Douthit, chairman of the student jommittee
which preferred the charges
against the president, submitted the
following signed statement:
"Whereas, The students of Clernson
college have preferred charges against
President Hartzog, and these charge?
have developed sufficiently to show tc
the board of trustees that there is i
wide-spread disaffection against Presi
dent Hartzog on the part of the stu
dents, we are therefore willing to leave
the further investigation of this matter
in the hands of the trustees. Pending
this investigation we will not pres<
our charges.. (Signed) Claude Douthit

-Do I understand," asked Senator
Tillman, "that the committee proposes
to drop these charges and leave thit
whole matter now j,o the trustees, willing
to accept and abide by our decision?"
Douthit said that was the Intention
"Tnen," said Senator Tillman, "tnert
is nothing for the board to do but tc
go into executive session and make up
its decision regarding young Thornwoll
and the sophomores. That is unless
President Hartzog wants to gc
on with the investigation o? the
charges. What do you say, Mr. Hartzog?"
President Hartzog replied that he
was ready and willing now. as he hac
been ail along, to go into a full an J
complete investigation as to his conduet
and administration of the college.
"The committee has withdrawn their
charges on their own volition, not in
any way at my suggestion." he aid
"and it is not a compromise on my
part. I am willing to go on with ac
open investigation. ?' am willing tc
leave it all in the hands of the trustees.
I believe they will do justice ai'.c
that is all I want. The matter rests entirely
with them."

"I V.OUia IlKe 10 Say, ?aiu
Dov.thit, "that our committee h3?
taken this step only after mutual consideration
and with the good of Clemson
college the sole purpose in view."
1 "Then," said Senator Tillman, "I
move that the board now go into executive
session. This was carried ami
the board retired. They were in sessior
over two hours. Finally when it was
stated that the trustees were readj
to announce their decision the facuUj
and students reassembled in the chapel
The decision were read by Senatoi
Tillman. He read them in a most impressive
manner. The students cheeroi
roundly the decisions ha regard to Ca
det Thorn well and to the sophomon
class, but there was no disorder or unseemly
demonstration. The decision:
arc as follows:
The board after most searching investigation
into the causes which ltc
to the suspension of Cadet Thornwel
and the set ion of the faculty in refus
ing the ] .iition of the calss for rein
statement, find as follows:
First. That the offense vas r.ot o'
oi'ch magnitude and seriousness as tc
warrant the sentence imposed, and that
the punishment was entirely dispioportionate
to the seriousness of the offense.
The evidence shows that th<
faculty was never in possession of a J]
the facts in the case, and while there
was some grounds for its action, we
feel that the trial was not conducted
with that seriousness and thoroughness
which should obtain in any ease which
involves the character and good nami
of a cadet. The raeaeerness or the
minutes and inability of the faculty to
* 1 - ? ? ** * form J
present to tnc ouam m ?1 mvu >u..u record
of the proceedings is censnrablt
2nd we shall expect It never to occin
again. We can undestand how then
might be a difference of opinion, as appears
to have existed in the faculty
on account or the incomplete evidence
before it. The faculty divided evident-,
lv on the question of intent. On th?'
hand, there was a belief that the
Sodents understood their obligation in
regard to this property. On the other
the contention or the cadets that custom
had lead them to believe they had
the right to take these test tubes influenced
the judgment of some members
of the faculty to the extent thai
the vote for suspension was 15, while
those who voted against such punishment
were 13, and the error was in not
J giving the benefit of the doubt to the
Doy.
It is also an extenuating cirminstance
as to the severity of punishment
that at the last meeting of the
board it laid great stress, bj resolution,
upon the lax discipline and somewhat
loose way in which the i oilege vn?
! being ran, and ordered a strenuous effort
to remedy it. The action of the
faculty upon this, the first serious case
that had come before it. was possibly
the result of its desire to comply with
the expressed demands of the board. It
is therefore ordered that Ca&et Thornwell
to reinstate to his rights and
privileges as a cadet in this college.
The custom !n Massachusetts of advancing
