A G Allen's United Minstrels
were in the city last night and
ie the audience could not be acu
commodated. Thousands of
1# people, white and colored, were
k turned away from the door because
of the overcrowding of the
|e large tent. It was estimated
iS that 2,500 were in the audience,
ana i,5W or zuoo were turnea
0 away.
ir The performance was free 1
from all objectionable features, 1
>' and they who paid the small adr
mission fee seemed more than
satisfied, if one might judge i
g" from the uproarous laughter and I
y applause which greeted the ac- i
r tors throughout the evening, i
i The programme consisted of i
Q the usual first part, followed by
e buck and wing: dancing, mono- I
o logues, banjo playing, contor- I
tionist work, etc. Taken all in 1
s all the show could be well re- I
r commended as a clean, wholeo
some, boisterous production.

MTOEtimLO. !
Four hundred out of the corps;
of TOO Clemson cadets broke j.j
garrison on April 1 for a "lark."; f
The cadets have been trying to | ^
run the college for some time j ^
and this insubordination is the 11
culmination of the widely adver- x
tised "shirt-tail parade" of last t
summer. ,
The commandant had especial- j
ly warned the corps against j
April fool pranks and the pre- i
concerted action seems to be (
without excuse. ]

and the disturbing* element ex- (
pelled from the college. The ?
insurgents, when they left' the i
college, marched to Pendleton, j
four miles distant, and there j
spent the day. They have re- ,
turned to barracks, but will pro- ^
bably not be permitted to remain
there long. 0 *
It is understood, but not ]
known definitely, that Com- s
mandant Minus' report to the t
committee contained the names
of all participators in the re-u
bellion and named the ring lead- >

It is very probable that suf-U
ncient evidence will be received t
by the committee soon for it to t
take final action. If, however, ?
the members of the committee
desire additional evidence sessions
will be held daily until the j
desired amount is introduced, i

bad been asked to revise bis fa* ;
mous "Locksley Hall" so as to j
make it conform to modern \
times, he would have rewritten j
a couplet in that beautiful poem j
so as to make it read after this j
wise: 1
"In the Spring a livelier iris changes 1
O'er the burnished dove; >
In the Spring an old man's fancy 1
aoiemniy turns to tnougnts 01 love. r i
For, on the day above men- 1
tionee, in the beautiful parlors 1
of Hotel Van Keuren, there was
enacted a love scene unpreced- *
ented in its uniqueness, at least 1
so far as this historic town is 1
concerned; and so enshrouded *
in a halo of romance, that bad 1
any one present been endowed *
with that divine affatus with ?

descends to favor mortals, an 1

But, lack-a day,the Muse re- c
fused to inspire prosaic Kingstree
and literature is denied a <
gem. ' (
The occasion here referred xto 1
was the joining in the holy *
bonds of wedlock of Mr F M f
Britton, Sr., of Church, S C., and
Mrs Lillian Barrett of Kalama- A
zoo, Mich. /
For several weeks the con- s
fidentiai friends of the groom ^
knew that his life was lonely? s
and that in his heart there was a
a deep yearning for that com- t
panionship that solaces in s
cares and makes happy the c
hours that are spent at home. t
And, moreover, his friends j
knew that far away from his \
Southern home, on the cold and | ^
bleak shores of the great lakes, r
there lived a fair lady, likewise
bereft of her companion,
who had grown tired of an un- j
protected home and whose
heart longed for the sunny n
South,and yearned for that love ?
which would vouchsafe sweet I
companionship and divine bliss 1
in the realization of her dream h
of life?an old man's darling. a
Through the agency of that
most up-to-date of modern jour-,
nals, the "Matrimonial Promot- je
er," coupled no doubt with j 1
thought suggestion, these two ! j
loving hearts found each other, j ^
and through the assistance of ]
Uncle Sam's postmen an offer of t
marriage was made and accept- J
ed. All arrangements were 1
made by letter, and with the as- <
sistance of photographs and ?
