Editor County Record:?
i
We notice in the issue of December
IT of your pap?r an article denying the
# so-called recent trouble at Clemson.
We also notice your criticism of the
article in which you said that the J
report seemed to indicate that the!
germ of insubordination had not !
been entirely eradicated from the!
institution: and also that the cor-j
respondent's denial would havej

VVVU nxyj 1 ..V :
definitely tho circumstances con- j
nected with the incident. You also |
said that you had never seen it con- i
tradicted, and there must be some
foundation in fact, coming as it did.
We wish to make a truthful explanation
and a forcible and impartial
denial by referring you to an article
L published in the Greenville Daily
^ ANews herewith enclosed. We wish
V to add that Howard Clark, from
W Florence county, South Carolina^
has not until yet returned to Clemson
College. We may summarize
by saying that the whole report is j
absolutely false and that the germ
of insubordination and lawlessness
has long ago been eradicated form
the corps of cadets of Clemson
College.

Kditor Greenville Daily News.
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

THE DEADLY PARLOR RIFLE.
Young Watson Grayson at Eufaula, Ala.,
Accidentally Kills Himself.
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.
Harked for Death.
"Three years ago I was marked
for death. A grave-yard cough was
Rearing my lungs to pieces. Doctors
failed to help me, when my husband
got Dr King's New Discovery," says
Mrs A C..Williams, of Bac, Ky.
' The first dose helped me, and improvement
kept on until I had gain
eu,o? pounds m weight aud my
health is fuljy restored." This medicine
holds the world's healing record
for coughs and colds and throat and
lung diseases. It prevents pneumonia.
