His Indiscriminate Shooting Caus ed Trouble at Beimettsviiie, But Love Found at Least One Way. Special to The State. Bennettsrille, Nov. 4.?Two more young hearts were made one here to day in spite of parental opposition: The principals were Dr. E. H. Gold berg and Miss Maggie Cobb, daughter of J. G. "W. Cobb. Miss Cobbs' parents objected to her associating with Dr. Goldberg on ac count of his Hebrew descent, and she has not been allowed to see him at her home during the past year. She spent several months recently with her sis ter, Mrs. W. S. Mowry, at Englewood, N. J., bat returned home and an nounced her determination to marry Dr. ^ Goldberg. Tomorrow had been appointed for the marriage, but the parents were doing .a}! they could to prevent it Miss Gobb's half brother, Rev. EL H. Covingtoni of Suinter, ar rived last night, in response to a tele gram from the parents, it is said. The public had heard something of the con dition of affairs, and many rumors were afloat today about what was go ing on at the Cobb home and specula tion as to what the result would be. About 4 o'clock this afternoon Mr. Ebbie D. Moore, one of Miss Cobb's friends, drove up. to the gate and walk ed into the house. In a few minutes he came but, accompanied by Miss Cobb, and they drove directly to the resi dence of Rev. C. B. Smith, pastor of the -??othodist Church, where Dr. Goldberg and his friends, J. Howard Bennett oi Clio, and Dr. Kellar of Judson, had preceded them. After the ceremony Dr. and Mrs. Goldberg drove down Main street and waved their hands at those who were sitting on the porch - at the Gobb residence as they passed. They are domiciled temporarily at the home of Dr. J. A. Paison. : Dr. Goldberg came here from Bal timore a few years ago to* practice dentistry,' and has become one of the most successful and popular young Israelites in this section. Miss Cobb is .a beautiful, petite brunette and is related to several of the.most prominent families in eastern Carolina. The Vocations of Georgia Legis lators.

What Bad Roads Cost. The good roads bureau of the feder al government has done a great deal of investigating -as to the cost of carrying over the different kinds of roads and submits the following estimates of its chief engineer: The cost of moving one ton by horse power over a mile of sandy road is 62 cents ; over damp sand, 32 cents ; over ruts and mud, 39 cents; over broken stone and ruts, 26 cents ; over a dry, hard earth road, 18 cents; over a broken stone road in good condition, 8 cents ; -over a hard gravel road, 8.8 cents;over stone pav ing, 5.33 cents; over asphalt, 2.7 cents. This is the actual cost in time and labor without counting anything for the wear and tear on draft animals and the hardship of the drivers, or the bad temper and profanity engendered, no small item, although it doesn't figure in the dollars and cents es timate. New Jersey has devoted within the past few years more attention to the road question than any other State in the Union, and has made more pro gress on that line, and therefore the results in that State, thus told by a writer who has been doing some in vestigating, will be interesting. He says: "Formerly it took a.wagon weighing 1,900 pounds, |with four horses and two men to haul Vf? tons of produce to market from a Camden county farm and bring back a load of fertilizer of the same weight, and then they were a whole day doing it. Often enough the wagon got mired and then it took more tb2.n a day. Over one of the new roads it now takes only one man, two horses and a wagon weighing 2,300 pounds to carry a load of four tons to marked and bring another load of the same weight back; and the round trip is made in half a day." With good roads one man and two horses will carry nearly twice as much to and from market as two men and four horses could on the bad roads, in one-half the time and of course with incomparably less labor for both man and horse. With such object lessons, and such actual demonstrations as this there should, and doesn't now seem to be needed any argument to convince peo ple of the value of good roads in New Jersey, and there shouldn't be in an State. With the exception of New Jersey and Indiana North Carolina is making as much progress on this^ line as any other State, and she is often referred ; to as an exemplar by the good roads advocates in other Southern States, who seem to be keeping a pretty close eye upon what is being done, a fact which should stimulate still greater effort. This is about the only State in the South, which thus utilizes con vict labor, the good effects of which have been so fully demonstrated in Mecklenburg county, ^vhich is now credited with about (3,000 miles of macadamized roads), Wake and For syth, in each o? which convict labor has been largely employed. But still notwihstanding the complimentary re ferences by papers in other States to our achievements, we have not yet made a right good start and will not until we map out a broad guage State road system and put our penitentiary convicts to work upon it. The State should provide the main turnpikes, which would make it a comparatively easy matter for the counties to construct branches to it.? Wilmington Star. . A Valuable Find. Yesterday while at work upon the many revolutionary and colonial re cords which were taken from the fam ous "relic room" in the State cap?tol, Record Clerk McCown made one of the most valuable finds encountered since the work began. The paper was che original farewell address of George Washington addressed to the governor of South Carolina to be transmitted to the general assembly. It is in manu script and bears Gen. Washington's own signature. It is dated "Head quarters, Newbarg, " June 14, 1783, and covers a number of pages of manu script. The original envelope which is decidedly unique and also bears Gen. Washington's own signature and his private wax seal is with the docu ment. Endorsed on the envelope are the words. "Received July 5, 1783.

South Carolina College and Clemson?Roth Sides En deavor to Shift the Responsibility. The ill-feeling, bad temper and open clashes between Clemson cadets and Sonth Carolina students have been de plored by the alumni and friends, of both institutions. The newspapers have subordinated a desire for sensa tional stories to real interest in the welfare of the two institutions, and many facts were not given publicity. The following statements will be of great interest: To the Editor of The State : It was hoped last night that the settlement of the trouble between Clemson and Carolina had been final ; but in learning that the Clemson corps after returning from the college cam pus had openly said that they had com pelled Carolina to back down, and af ter reading the somewhat incomplete I article in The State this morning, I think, in justice to the South Caro lina College students, that all the facts should be brought before the public. They are as fellows : Just before the time for the parade to start I was told by an orderly that Gen. Wilie Jones wished to see who ever was in charge of the South Caro lina students. Being an old student of the class of '99, and having helped those in charge in organizing the students for thi s parade, I was asked to represent the college before Gen. Jones. Xjc?n. Jones stated to me that Col. Sirmyer, the commandant of Clemson, objected to a transparency which the Carolina students were going to carry in the "paracle. This transparency showed a crowing game cock, marked "S. C. C," standing on the head of a dead tiger, and Col. Sirmyer claim ed that it would be an insult to the Clemson corps for this to be carried in the parade, a tiger being the well known emblem of the Clemson foot ball team. Having stated to Gen. Jones that on Thursday night that similar transpar ency had been attacked by some Clem son cadets, who had used swords, wounding two of the Carolina students, and that all day Friday Clemson men had openly boasted that they would not allow such a transparency to be carried through the parade, I refused the request. Thereupon Col. Sirmyer stated to Gen. Jones, Chief of Police Daly and myself that if this transpar ency were carried he would not be re sponsible for the action of the men under his command. This statement was made also in the presence of the Clemson band and battalion staff. At this juncture a Clemson cadet stepped up to Col. Sirmyer and said: ';We will get it if they take it in." Col. Sirmyer half turned in his saddle and said: "I know you will." Then, after some words between Col. Sirmy er and myself as to this statement I asked him if he as colonel command ing the Clemson corps of cadets, meant to say that he could, not control his men. He again replied, "I will not be responsible," and then said to Gen. Jones that if such transparency were carried in the parade his corps would not enter. I then said to Gen. Jones that in case Clemson chose to stay out he should just let them do so. I then went back to where the South Carolina students were drawn up. Capt. Gonzales, Gen. Jones and Chief of Police Daly all rode to our formation and saw the transparency and said they saw nothing objection able in it ; but they asked the stu dents, for the sake of peace, to go into the parade without it, but just then our time came to enter the parade and we started with che transparency without any more talk. We completed the march without any trouble, save that as we passed Clemson's headquarters, in the old agricultural hall, a stone was thrown by some one and struck the automo bile in which the transparency was carried. We cheered the Clemson corps as we passed them in the parade, and they returned the salute. Immediately after the parade the Carolina students marched straight to the campus and there I m?de them a shert speech, saying that Carolina had cariied her point and urging the stu dents ' to be careful to avoid any trouble that night. I talked to some gentlemen about five minutes and started up Sumter street. At the corner of Sumter and Pendleton I was met by some Carolina students who told me that the Clem son men were coming in force. I turned _and went back to the campus. At this time the Clemson corps were at the corner of Pendleton and Sumter streets, a half block from the college entrance and I saw there was no time to assemble any more Carolina stu dents. About 30 of these were at the gate and we took our position on the Jow wall or coping extending from the side gate to the driveway, a distance of about 40 feet. We barely covered the wall. We had scarcely taken our position before the cadets were right in front of us. They were very angry and excited and they swung in towards the college. We ordered them to halt, and I recognized Maj. Wiley of the Clemson battalion and told him that should his men come on the sidewalk the trouble would start. They stopped at the edge of the sidewalk, ran up into close form ation parallel with the wall, numbering 300 and 400 and all appeared with their side arms. At my request Maj. Wiley with tho aid of Chisholm and Cunningham, Clemson students whom I also recognized, after a good deal of trouble, finally succeeded in getting me a hearing from the Clemson stu dents. Standing on the wall, above the two crowds, J could see the true situation. By this time about o0 more students had come. The Clem son cadets had swords and bayonets drawn. The Carolina men had arm ed themselves as well as they could and were prepared to do their best to prevent the cadets from entering the campus. Seeing that something had to be done and done quickly and in order to prevent a bloody riot I made the following proposition to the Clem son students: That I would assume the reponsibility for Carolina and fight any man from the Clemson corps who was willing to take upon himself Clemson's side of the question. There was no response. The offer was re peated. There was no acceptance, and seeing that the men were still in a riotous mood, I proposed that we arbitrate the matter, and suggesed that a committee of three from each side be appointed and the action of this committee be final as regarded the two student bodies. Just at this time I saw Chief Daly and one other police officer on the outskirts of the Clemson corps trying to quiet them, and a few minutes later a squad of police arrived. But j the, arbitrating committee had met before the squad arrived. ! At this point the Clemson committee called me down from the wall and re quested that I apologize to Gel. Syr I myer for my language to him during j the unpleasant conversation that hap I pened in Gen. Jones'presence. They stated that he assured them that what he had said to me had not been a threat and that I, having acted under that impresi?n, should apologize to him in person, which I consented to do. After some consultation, the two committees reported that as there was an emblem of each college on the transparency no disgrace could at tach to either should the transparency be burned by both, and that the burn ing of the transparency should be a pledge in the part of each student body that all trouble and animosity would be burned with it. This proposition was submitted to the Carolina stu dent by me on beha'.f of the committee and they were reluctant to accent. I urged them to abide by the action of the committee which they had ap pointed on the ground that our faith was pledged to do so. Finally the Carolina students, realizing that they were in honor bound to do this, con sented thereto, and the committees burned the transparency in the pres ence of the two student bodies. Then the crowd dispersed. Later in the evening I went to Col. Sirmyer and apologized to him. The above is a candid statement of the facts. As the colleges are both State institutions it seemed right to | us in justice to each side that the pub lie should be in a position to judge the matter accurately. Christie Benet, Jr. THE CLEMSON SIDE. 1 was on the street Thursday night at the time of the first and second encounter between the two bodies of students, and saw practically every thing which took place, so far as the students were concerned. What I have to say, therefore, in regard to most of this unpleasant affair is the result of my own observation and not from hearsay. L It is a mistake to attribute the at titude of the Clemson college students on Thursday and Friday nigkts to the defeat on the football field. They accepted the defeat gracefullly, and acknowledged that the victory went to the team which played the best game. The victory was fairly and gallantly won. 2. The trouble began on Thursday night when the Clemson college stu dents found that a raid had been made on the window containing their tro phies, and the picture of the "tiger," the college emblem, had disappeared. Shortly after this the transparency, which eventually caused all the trouble, made its appearance on the streeet in the hands of the Carolina college students,, and the first clash took place. I saw this from the upper porch of Wright's hotel. The contest seemed to be in the spirit of good nature, and no weapons were used ex cept the light carnival canes. The after results show, however, that some hot blood was aroused, for within a half hour the second contest took place lower down the .street when some blood was shed. Feeling uneasy about the matter I went on the street to take my boys in hand and prevent further contact between the two sets of forces. I reached the place just as the boys clashed together, and I was in their midst at once. I ordered my boys to the barracks and they responded to my orders to a man. I then made an appeal to the Carolina boys to disband so that there would be no canse for friction. They replied that the Clem son students had used swords on them, and I then told them that if a sword was drawn except in self de fense I would severely punish the cadet guilty of the offence. This seemed to satisfy the Carolina college boys, and I then appealed to their good sense not to bring out the trans parency again, upon the ground that they had won the victory on the foot ball field, and won it well ; that the Clemson boys were their guests 'and therefore I urged them to be magnani mous. This also seemed to have a good effect and they promised me to dis band, and I am sure that they did so. I then went farther down the street to the barracks where I found the Clem son cadets assembled and I began to upbraid them for using swords on the Carolina college students. They in dignantly denied it, but said that one of their number had been seriously injured by brass knucks, and, being knocked down twice he then drew his sword in self defence. He was knocked senseless and was carried away by his comrade for medical at tention. I do not charge the Carolina college students with using these brass knucks, but this implement was undoubtedly used by some one in the crowd, and it may have been in the hands of some tough^character in attendance upon the cheap shows which were along the streets of the city. Several reputablejcitizens of Columbia informed me that they saw enough to convince them that brass knucks were used in wounding the Clemson cadet. Thursday night Columbia was certain ly in the hands of a mob, and these college boys represented bnt a minute : portion of this unseemly commotion. ! At no time on Thursday were the ' Clemson boys armed, excepting the swords on the officers who were carry ing them as indications of rank. Now it seems to me that enough had developed on Thursday night to con vince any serious thinking mind that further parading of the transparency, which seemed to outrage the Clemson students, was unwise. I was using my utmost efforts and the commandant, Lieut. Sirmyer, and the other officers of the corps, were akly assisting me to preserve the peace, and I know that there could not have been any further trouble if the Carolina college auhtor ities had been able to prevent the re petition of thejtransparency parade on Friday night. ^ 3. Thursday night it "was college boys contending with college boys. On Friday night, however, the condi tions were totally different. A parade was under way of formation in which not only these two groups of boys were to take part, but the governor of the State, the officials of the city of Col umbia and many invited distinguished citizens of South Carolina were also on the ground ready to take "their positions in this most beautiful dis play. The Clemson cadets were drawn up ready a salute the governor and pay homage to the beautiful queen when there appeared before them this unseemly and not of place transpar ency. It was too much for* them to endure so they appealed to their com mandant to get the officials of the parade to come to their relief and pre vail on the Carolina college boys to listen to reason. The officials declined to interfere, and then it was that the Clemson cadets felt, and they so ex pressed themselves, that the city of Columbia had assumed responsibility for the transparency, its intended insult and all the results accruing therefrom. Of course this -was a wrong position to assume, but upon first examination of the question one must admit the force of the position taken by the cadets. At this juncture Lieut. Sirmyer addressed his com mand and told them that he expected them to act like soldiers and bear this affront, certainly so long as the corps made part of the parade, and that they did so, was proof of their confidence in him and their regard for his opinion. The friends of these young men feel that a great mistake was made when Lieut. Sirmyer's appeal to the authorities was ignored. ' Now as to the after results. In re gard to what took place at the campus of the Carolina college neither myself nor the commandant knew anything about the matter until it was ended and the boys were in their barracks. But an investigation has shown us that. 1. The Clemson boys did not go to the campus with pistols or guns, but they did not take time to unbuckle the cartridge box and bayonet when they placed their guns in the barracks. 2. It was stated that the Carolina students were -armed with pistols and repeating guns, but this was rumor and I cannot speak with authority. 3. The proposition came ?roni the Clemson cadets that a committee be j appointed from each sice to settle the | difficulty, and the entire question was settled in that way, after which a cheer was sent up for the Carolina col- j lege boys. In conclusion permit me to say that j Clemson college cannot allow the harsh criticism of Lieut. Sirmeyr to pass unnoticed. He is a high-toned, hon orable gentleman and performs his duty with exceptional skill and effici ency. Within a few weeks he has es tablished excellent order and disci pline, and the fine, drill and soldierly | appearance of the cadet corps in Co lumbia prove his military ability. While the discipline is strict there is ! no friction and he has won the admira tion and loyal support of the cadets. After a long experience in military colleges I can say that he is one of the best commandants I have ever seen, and any attempt to remove him would be injurious to the best in terests of this college.

Washington, November 6.?The Su preme Court of the United States to day heard argument in a case which involves the decision of the pointas to which of two persons drowned at sea died first. The case is that of Mrs. Rhodes, formerly of Hutchinson, Kas, who, with her son, Eugene Rhodes, went down with the. Elbe in 1S95. Previous to sailing she had made a will leaving her estate to the son and, in case of his death to- the Women's Christian Home, of this city. The son died intestate. The relatives of the young man claim that as he was young and a good swimmer, he proba bly survived his mother, and, there fore, contest the claim of the home to the property. The point of the priority of death under such circum stances has never been decided bv this Court. A Startling Surprise. Very few could believe in looking at ?. T.
