Deai Sir:?I notice that you have; an article in today's paper i:i regard I to the recent trouble at Clemson. j Please permit me to make a few cor-' rections. Your article savs that Cadet Howard Clark, <>f Klon nce, was seriously hazed about two w -d-:s 1 ago, that young Clark was removed from the college by his father soon , after the occurrence, that three of the ringleaders were suspended, and that the men suspended came from Florence and Orangeburg counties * ' ? 1 'o- . i!f L . in tne nrsi piuce, trie uuair Happened not two weess ago. but on Thanksgiving day. The affair could hajdly be called hazing because j Clark was an old boy, this being iiis second year, and had a perfect right to defend himself. The thrashing he received was given him by some { student or students who thought! that he deserved it. Clark was not; removed from the college bv his, father, but obtained permission tc! go home by telling President .\M1, that he had received a telegram j notifying him toccme home at once, j This statement was utterly false, j As to the three socalled ringleaders | who were dismissed, oue of the boys j was dismissed three days before the j affair occurred, and was not at the j college at the time of the trouble. The orders regarding his dismissal! happened to be published at this time. The second cadet was dis missed for having over G7 demerits, j and was in no way coneected with j the affair. The third cadet who i may have been connected with thej affair, was dismissed for anotb-r ! charge altogether. These three; students were not from Florence, j _ ?1 ''W* ' y "* v . r J >* /v [' i ?

Mr Jimmie Grayson, while enjoying the holiday season with his friends here, received a telegram from Eufaula, Alabama, stating that his young brother, Watson, had been fatally shot with a parlor rifle. He immediately hurried to Eufaula, but young Grayson was dead before his brother's arrival. It seems that the boy was looking into the muzzle of the deadly weapon: and bv some means the cartridge mf Oexploded and the ball penetrated his eye. He lived only an hour and never regained consciousness. Watson was a son of the late W W Grayson of Kingstree, whose oldest son, Bobbie, it will be recalled,was killed by a parlor riHe in a very similar manner some eight or nine years ago.
