The Beef Trust in Chicago.
Chicago, May L-That the consump
tioh of beef lias fallen off 37 % per
Cent, since the agitation against the
packers began was admitted by leading
packers seen by a reporter today. The
above percentage averages the calcu?
lations of the packers seen.
One thousand beef cattle-not 10,
000, as was qreported-^were left over
from yesterday^ Opinions varied as
to whether trade today would clean up
the 6>000 head received. One buyer
declared. that, there would be mere
than a thousand left over, while an?
other expressed the opinion that the
export business would clean up the
total. A representative of one of the
packing houses said that the yards re?
ceived'6,000 head of cattle today: a
year ago today the reciepts were 17,731
head Receipts for April were esti?
mated at approximately 130,000 head
less than for the same month a year

It was . estimated recently at New

never before in the history of Ameri?

extensive. From the Northwest comes
another report w^hich may explain in
part these strenuous efforts, for it
seems that alarm is felt in that section
at the tendency of farmers there to
move to the South. One land agent is
quoted as saying that persons who in?
tended originally to sett le t in he

STRIKE IN AUGUSTA NEARING END.
National Labor Organization Fail
to Keep Promises to Local
Strkers.
Augusta, May 1.-The board of di?
rectors and officers of four Augusta
mills, with the superintendents of each
mill, and a committee from the
strikers, held a conference today to
discuss the 'grievances of the King
mill operatives, but nothing has been
done yet. The. conference has not
finished and will be taken up again
tomorrow.. The King mill officers say
they are ready and willing to ad jest any
grievances if the operatives prove they
really have grievances.
An undercurrent has developed in
circles of the strikers on account of
the promised 82 per week not being
distributed. Up to Monday of this
week the national organization owed
the strikers $8,400 and have on hand
only about $500. For this reason com?
missaries were ^established yesterday
and 75 per cent, m produce given the
adults and 50 per cent, to children.
Men of families are taking the pro?
visions but single ^operatives who
board are raising a big kick and many
refuse to take provisions. The pros?
pect is now much better for a settle?
ment than at any time since the strike
went on.

Senator Tillman spoke at Manning

he "flayed Appelt." It was a case of
shooting a sparrow with a cannon and
1,500 people yelled and clapped their
hands and snorted and reared upon
their hind legs and seemed to enjoy it.
Appelt charged and Tillman counter?
charged, the name of the Deity was
dragged in on various occaions, there
was talk of lies and thievery and
"swindling, and rebates and nothing
was proved or disproved by anybody.
Altogether it was a pleasant and edify?
ing spectacle for people who are pleas?
ed with that sort of thing. Senator
Tillman was formerly Mr. Appelt's
friend Friday the Senator disowned
Mr. Appelt and is not a great deal
poorer than before. Meanwhile Mr.
Appelt has, a post office, which is
plenty for him, and Senator Tillman
has a Senatorship, which is a plenty
for him. And the plough-boy plows
on and is-paying higher taxes today
than he has paid in twenty years.

that all -brakemen and conductors

that a whistle was to be known as an

FRANK STATEMENT BY
! COL. B. W. SIMPSON.
! On Tuesday Might Clemson Was
I Tottering on the Brink-Trus?
tees Will Hear Grievances.
-
Special to The State.
Anderson, May 2.-Col. E. W.
Simpson, president of the board of
trustees of Clemson College, was in
the city yesterday and as the recent
disturbance at the college is still a
matter of intense interest this corres?
pondent went to him in his office and
asked him if he could make any further
statement concerning .it.
"In the first place," said Col. Simp?
son, "I want to say that the statement
sent out by the Anderson corresondent
gave the facts very clearly and accu?
rately and I want to commend the
paper for its fairness and impartiality.
"There is very little difference be?
tween the faculty and the student body
as to what are the facts. The principal
difference is as to the punishment im?
posed upon Cadet Thonwell, the class
claiming that the action pf the faculty
was partial and too severe. The by?
laws give to every student the right to
appeal to the board of trustees from
the finding of the faculty in any case
where the student is dissatisfied.
Cadet Thornwell did not appeal as he
had a right to do nor did his class
complain to the trustees of the action
of the faculty, hence there was noth?
ing to justify me to call an extra meet?
ing of the trustees.
; "I am unable to answer your ques?
tions, he continued, ''as to what
will be the probable action of the
trustees in regard to reinstating the
sophomore class. These young men
were not dismissed from the college.
They had a right to leave whenever
they saw proper. They exercised that
right and if they now wish to return
they will naturally petition to that
end. Should they see proper to peti?
tion the trustees to receive them back I
have no doubt that the board will ex?
tend td them every consideration that
the gravity of the situation and a due
regard to. discipline will permit.
"Yes, I fully recognize the gravity
of the situation and it appeared to me
when I left the college Tuesday night
that Clemson College was tottering on
the brink of a terrible misfortunate
from which it would be impossible to
recover for many years. I was inform?
ed that the junior class would leave
oh Wednesday or as soon as possible
and that the freshman class was to fol?
low soon after. Happily, however,
this action was avoided and I can safe?
ly say that there will be no further
trouble. Th es? two classes are loyal
to Clemson and will not take rash or
hasty action calculated to bring re?
proach upon the college, but will sub?
mit their grievances to the board of
trustees at i ts regular meeting in June
next.
I "They readily responded to advice
and counsel when I appeared before
them in accordance with their request
for me to meet with them.
? - (tIt would not be proper for me to
express an opinion as to the merits of
the controversy, but this much I can
say now that both the faculty and the
students realize the gravity of the
situation and may be depended upon
to act with prudence and deliberation
in the future. I will say further that
in my honest opinion the trouble now
exsiting originated from misapprehen?
sions which could have been avoided by
mutual explana tons.
"Clemson College is a new institu?
tion. As yet it has no past record to
appear to and both time and utmost
skill are required to build up a high
? toned manly spirit and to manage so
Targe a number of students. There
is no man who has more varied and
difficult duties to perform than Presi?
dent Hartzog. If he has failed to
give satisfaction, and this fact is made
to appear, no persuasion could induce
him to hold for a day longer the im?
portant positon which he now
occupies."
CoL* Simpson said that the trustees
at their regular meeting injune would
take up the matter and would take
snch actions as appeared to be best. The
sophomores would be heard if they de?
sired it, and he said he hoped they
Would appear either as a body or by
committee and state their grievances
fully so the trustees would have
knowledge of all the facts. In conclu?
sion, Coll Simpson repeated what he
has said on every occasion since the
trouble occurred that he had nothing
but sympathy and the kindliest feel?
ing toward the sophomores, but that
they had made a great mistake and,
he had no doubt, they realized it. The
j whole trouble could have been avoided
! if they had been less hasty and had
I asked for counsel and advice before
taking the rash step.
Don't Start Wrong.
Don't start the summer with a lingering
cough or cold. We all know what a "sum?
mer cold" is. It's the hardest kind to cure.
Often it "hangs on" through the entire
season. Take it in hand right now. A few
doses of One Minute Cough Cure will set
you right. Sure cure for coughs, colds,
croup, grip, bronchitis, all throat and lung
troubles. Absolutely safe. Acts at once.
Children like it. "One Minute Cough Cnre
is the best cough medicine I ever used,"
says J. E. Bowles, Groveton, N. H. "I
never found anything else that acted so
safely and quickly." J. S. Hughson & Co.

dangerous consequences from it. She says:

none of their plumpness and came out in
much better health than other children

MR. CRAMPS NOTION.
Mr. Charles H. Cramp, president
of the Cramp building company of
Philadelphia and a ground floor mem?
ber of the bogus trust organized a
couple of years , ago to receive the
annual installments of the ship subsidy
that didn't pass, regrets the formation
of the $200,000,000 steamship trust
mainly for the reason, as he feelingly
states it, "that the vessels of the com?
bination must,' in the main, fly the
flag of foreign nations, and that in
case of war between he United States
and the power whose flag they fly,
vessels owned so largely by American
citizens can be taken possession of by
the enemy and utilized against the
country of which their owners are
citizens; ' ' This is really a grave mat?
ter and, the only remedy which Mr.
Cramp can suggest for it is a subsidy
to the ship companies, which compose
the trust sufficiently large to make it
possible for them to hire the Cramp
ship building company to equip them
with ships at its own price.
The trust with its colossal capital
Can see its way clear to large profits
without a subsidy though ev?ry man
connected with it has been knocking
at the door of the treasury for many
years begging like a mendicant for
the bounty.. It will have -plenty of
money to renew its equipment and as
the Cramp ship building company
has been able to defeat every com?
petitor for the construction of war
and m?chant 'ships for foreign pur?
chasers it will no doubt be able to
get a fair share of the construction
work for the new trust, if it wants
it. But Mr. Cramp will prefer, prob?
ably, to occupy his establishment in
building ships for foreign customers
at a less price than to build for home
purchasers at any rice. At the begin?
ning of the Spanish war he held up
the government for months because
the authorities wouldn't pay him ah
extortionate price for ships and he only
yielded when an' order was issued to
buy wher?ver vessels could be found
for sale.
If Mr. 'Cramp had brains enough to
manage a blacksmith shop with one
fire he would know that the remedy
for the danger to which he refers is
not in paying unearned bounties to
ship building trusts. The repeal of
our antiquated ' navigation laws and
the substitution of a code which would ?
enable American ships, or ships own- j
ed by American citizens and operated j
i by Americans to "register and carry j
! the American flag, no ' matter where
it was built, would achieve the purr
pose. Every other commercial nation
in the world long ago enacted such
laws and'the flag of every such nation
is floating in every port of the world.
But in order to preserv? a monopoly
of tbe business in this country for
the Cramps and their favorites we
still maintaing a system which re?
quires a ship to be built in this
country in order to register and as
the Cramps charge more for build?
ing for Americans than for foreign?
ers the Amreicans have gone abroad
for their ships with the result to
which Mr. Cramp refers.-Beliefonte
