The Clemson Outbreak* <
Tbe April fool prank of the 1
Clemson College students, when
four hundred of the corp9 of cajjf
?
dels, like tbe historic kiug of
x
France, marched themselves up the
hill and marched them down again,
seems likely to prove a serious *
joke?for the cadets. There are
about seven hundred students at
?lcm8oa College and the expenses
of the institution are largely \
borne by the State?that is, by the ,
farmers. Eyery sack of fertilizer
sold in South Carolina pa;s
tribute to Clemson and the income
of the College approximates
$200,000 a year, it is estimated.
With this vast sum?three or
four times more than any other
State institution enjoys?added to
the income derived from tuition
fees, Clemson College should rauk
second to no technological insti
tntion in the South. In Doint of ,
attendance it has shown up well, ,
but judging from the friction |
tbat has occurred from time to ,
time and the criticism to which
it has been subjected by those who j
attended the State Farmers' in- j
stitute a year or co ago, there j
must be something radically ,
wrong in the system of manage- i
ment. During the last few years j
there have been several changes in j
the presidency of the college and i
none seems to be an improvement ,
on his predecessor Other State ,
*
institutions get a good man at the
helm and stick to him and Clemeon
has undoubtedly bad some
good men. Now, where is the
fault? The student body is composed
of average South Carolina
boys, no better and no worse than
tho6e who attend other colleges.
i i? i i 9
men, wny miB constant incuuur
From the standpoint of a longrange
observer it seems that the
board of trustees must be at fault.
The faculty has been changed and
added to so frequently that surely
they must have secured at
least a majority of good meu.
Now, the logical conclusion is that
the trustees do not support the fac*
ulty in maintaining discipline, or,
it may be, that there is dissension
among . the trustees themselves,
which would be very quickJy
extended to the college.

lege authorities have doue the

members of the junior
class; bnt there is more to
do. Every individual who participated
in the April fool escap-|
ade should be dismissed from the
college aud their places filled next
year with boys who woold profit
by the vigorous action taken
in thiB instance.
There is a plenty of bovs eager
to take the place of those dismissed,
and it will be a wholesome
lesson, not only to Clemson,
but to students of every other
college in the South, to dismiss

In succeeding Solicitor Wilson
Mr Wells has had a hard position to
ill. yet during the two terms of
;ourt when he officiated as prosecutng
attorney, he met the demands of
lis responsible position in a manner
hat gained him almost universal
approbation, and it is with general

Our Schools.
The great French philosopher,
le Toqueville, on bis visit to
\merica, expressed his opinion
hat on the public school sys*111
rested the foture greatness of
.his republic. Since his visit many
rears ago our public schools sve,eoi
has expanded to an - extent
hen undreamed of.
It is gratifying to know that
Singstree, for the size of the
?wn, is one of the mo3t alert
nunicipalities in South Carolina,
is the article written by Prof,Hand,
which we publish this week,
will demonstrate, comparing our
towu with others of larger population
and more taxable property.
By no iuean9 is this educationil
awakening in our county conSued
to Kingstree. It will be
remembered that last year both
Johnsonville and Union schools
bore off prizes for rural school
improvement, and from present
indications as to special tax levy in
the several districts throughout our
county. Williamsburg will soon claim
so many of these prizes that there
will Dot be enough to go around.
Let the good work go on.

"Lord!" ejaculated Glenleter. "Do
you think he's after me?"
"He ain't after nobody else, an' take i
my word for It, it's got nothin' to do ]
with MeNamara nor that gainblin' row.
He's too game for that. There's some I
other reason." j(
This was the first mention Dextry (
bad mode of the Dlgbt at the Northern. j,
"I don't know why be should have it 1
In for me. I rever did him any fa- ; J
vors." Gleni6ter remarked cynically. j
"Well, you watch out nnybow. I'd J
sooner face MeNamara an' all the
crooks be can hire than that gambler." (
During the next few days Roy nn-'t
dertook to meet the proprietor of the i
Northern face to face, bat the Kid had ! *
vanished completely from bis bafnts. j 1
He was not in his gambling ball at ! ?
night nor on lhe street by day. The
young man was still looking for him |?
on the evening of the dance at the bo- (
tel when be chanced to meet one of the j}
vigilantes, who inquired of him:
"Aren't yon late for the meeting?" ]
"What meeting?" , i a
After seeing that they were alone the
other stated:
"There's an assembly tonight at 11 1
o'clock. Something Important 1 think, (
I supposed, of course, you knew about j ,
it" |
"It's strauge I wasn't notified," said *
Roy. "It's probably an oversight I'll j 8
go along with you." !
Together they crossed the river to j *
the less frequented part of the town j C
and knocked at the door or a large un- c
lighted warehor.se. flanked by a high
board fence. The building faced the
street, but was Inclosed on tbe other ]
three sides by this teu foot wall, inside r
of which were stored large quantities
of coal and lumber. After some delay 1
they were admitted and passing down S
through the dim lit. high banked lanes c
of merchandise came to the rear room,
where they were admitted again. This 1
compartment had been fitted up for the 2
warm storage of perishable goods dur- r
log tbe cold weather aDd, being without
windows, made an ideal place for *
clandestine gatherings. t
Glenlster was astonished to find a
every man of tbe organisation present.
Including Pextry, whom be supposed *
to hare gone home an hour since. Evt- r
dently a discussion had been in progress,
for a chairman was presiding,
and tbe boxes, kegs and bales of goods r
hn/t Wn chnreri hack acalnst tbe walls t
for seats. On these were ranged the
threescore men of the "Strangle ,"
their serious faces lighted imperfectly I
by Mattered lanterns. A certain con- f
straint seized them upon Glenlster's ,
entrance. The chairman was embarrassed.
It was but momentary, how- 2
ever. Olenlster himself felt that trag- f
edy was in the air, for It showed in the
m^n's attitude and spoke eloquently
from their strained faces. He was J
about to question the man next to him
wben the presiding officer continued:
"We will assemble here quietly with
our armB at 1 o'clock. And let me
caution you again not to talk or do ]
anything to scare the birds away." ]
Glenister arose. "I came late, Mr. ]
Chairman, so I missed bearing your '
plan. I gather that you're out for
boslneas, however, and I want to be In .
It May I ask what is on foot?" 1
"Certainly. Things have reached 1

"It is a pity that the elephant

he can do his own thinking,
in India some years ago an elephant
chanced to fall in a pit There was

he went to work and made a
