Mont: ABOUT ( LKMSON President Mel! lake* the Part of the lfc'ys-? < )?lr><? Student Parade Was ? Iis. tn I- , Incident?apt. Clay Got V. I Columbia. Sept. 4.- President Meli, >f Clemsor.. wb ? \vas here several tiny* this week In connection with the eeeectlon >f a umessor to Prof. John Hlchelfl of the department of animal husbandry htlheo In an Interesting way about the t- jw famous "shirt tall par?de'*. of the recent crop of seniors. The ? lent which happendo the night wefc, commencement when Oov. Anse! was on the grounds, has Veen the baxH of much spirited com ?sent by the college authorities on the part of newspapers throughout State, which condemned the affair a* act of Insubordination and crlt tt as Indicating a general lark aff discipline they claim| haa existed at Use college for severs 1 years. The so-called rhlrt tall parade, which was nothing more than an in? nocent eerontdlng affair on the part off lesa than half of the senior class, the other members of the class telng aaleep In the barracks at the time, has been greatly exaggerated and en targ d upon by a number of new* pa aar? tktoughout the State, many of them absurdly mis-stating the i'acL? la ftps case The parade was such as oc? cur* at numerous colleges throughout the country on such occasions, and had happened In the same manner a number <>f times at Clemson, the last one being two years ago. The hoys were in their shirts or night ahtrt* with trousers, and in this garb la around to serenade the profts They came to my residence shortly after midnight, and culled for a little talk, which was given them. Commands at Clay had expressly glv aa them the 'reedorri of the grounds aad they did not abuse it. Tne only feature of the parade that could he construed as Insubordi? nation occurred at the entrance to ths barracks, where Capt. Clay ap? peared snd ordered them under ar? rest. Thev passed him. refusing to gee a oder i rrest. "They did not knock him down or has) any violence whatever, but sim? ply refused to go under* arrest when ha commanded them to hilt. Capt. Clay felt much outraged, but his de? mand aeat day that diplomas be with? held was altogether unreasonable. "Capt. Clay's transfer to another Mate was not the result of the inel? egant. He received notice of his trans . iht before he had even made up his report to the war department. He had seeking another assignment on iant of his health for some time. Par wss severely wounded In the Phil? ippine war in the neck and the medi? cine* ke had been compelled to take tlm^ to time appears to have ?ted h'.s general health." Dr. Meli said that none of the re reeignatton* was rn even sny re? ise way traceable to the parade in it. The resignations were due to hatter offer* being extended from oth? er College*. As to Cotton Picking Implement. Bryan Lawrence, of Augusta, what he considers a successful n picking hand machine, which to be sll that Is claimed for it. The Bo liver County Democrat, of ppl state* thst one of the same re has bean Invented In that re and adds: "Several capitalists of Greenville, engaged In the manufacture and st Is hoped, the sale, of the machine really picks cotton at the rate of at 1.000 pounds per dsy. carry* live rows st a time snd getting boll thst Is open. It Is to be thst the Mississippi Cotton aater Company will prove a mon eher success. If one thing Is needed ha the South worse than another, It 'la % cotton picker." On the other hand, our friend Ma* Jar 8. A. Jonas, editor of the Aberdeen (Miss) Examiner, who Is one of the Informed men In all that apper* specially to the South, takes d Iseue on this subject. He nay*: "No greater misfortune can befall country. In our opinion, than the lion of a cotton picking ma The South Is the only region world thst bossts population, eh* hath races, bora and bred to cot* asei picking. *nd to this fsct l due awr suprsmacy in and control of the aotton Industry.

The Farmers' Educuth?nal and Co operatlve l'nion VII organised some time ugo to edueute farmers In the methods of grading cotton and to ed? ucate them in other thing.-, connected with the cotton Industry, The Union does not seem to flourish over hen on the Atlantic, but it lias boon doing business in Tenner ? . Georgia, Ala? bama and perhaps other Southern States. The Soc.ety has* been holding a Summer School at Auburn, Ala., and the Atlanta Journal tells us that the school has beer, particularly success? ful, and that the Farmers' Educatlon r al and Co-Operatlve Union "is living up to all that the name Implies by paying special attention to the educa? tion of students along lines which hitherto have been deplorably neg? lected." Speaking of the Summer School at Auburn, the Journal says: I "The most notable feature of it was the plan of educating students In the science of grading cotton and keeping warehouse b':dts. It Is remarkable In the highest degree t,hat the science of grading cotton should have been neglected as a study in th ; South so long. At Auburn the students were taught this and warehouse bookkeep? ing with the special end in view of discharging those functions in the Farmers' Union warehouses which are being erected throughout the South? ern State?. Thb i* but an additional confirmation of the fact that the Farmers' Union is proceeding syste? matically and intelligently in its edu? cation and co-operation. "Put aside from the special posi? tions to which these, tudents will de? vote themselves, the science of grad? ing cotton Is one which should be taught in every agricultural school in the South. It undoubtedly Should be made a spectal feature of the cur? riculum in the district agricultural schools to be established throughout the State. "It cannot be denied that the aver? age farmer ts painfully Ignorant of the principles of grading cotton. Whether or not the buyer and the long string of middle men ever take advantage of his Ignorance in this respect Is comparatively of no import? ance. Every practical farmer should at least be Instructed in the art of'de? termining the exact grade and conse? quent value of his cotton, and this can best be done by the instruction and the actual experience afforded In such schools as that conducted at Au t bum by the Farmers* Union during the past summer. "The Farmers' Union is doing a great many things to educate the farmers of the South and to place them In a position of independence and among those things this summer school system Is one of the most val? uable. The Idea should be encouraged and extended wherever possible, and the education of the farmer In the science of grading cotton might well be taken up by every agricultural school in the South, under whatever aueptces It may be conducted." It would be a good idea for every young man in the south to learn ull about cotton. They should not only know how to grade cotton, but they should know something of the history of the cotton plant, the methods of cultivation, the nature, growth and extent of the cotton manufacurlng Industry, and cotton lure in general. It la plain that cotton production, cot? ton selling and manufacturing is more than ever to be the one great source of the South'* future wealth.?Wil? mington Star. i GOVERNMENT SUIT TO DISSOLVE , STAND \HI> OIL AGAIN POST?

Investigations are in progress in the bureau of chemistry at Washing? ton with reference to the current pro? cess of whitening flour by the use of nitric acid fumes. In order to test, as far as possible, the effect of such bleaching on the health of consumers. The preliminary inquiries, It is stated, have shown that the effect of the fumes is to change the natural oil of the grain into a chemical substance which cannot be classed as a food. They also produce important changes in the glutinous content of the flour, giving It a less digestible quality. The worst feature of the whitening pro? cess is that it renders possible adul? terations and tends to conceal inferi? ority, Inasmuch as consumers are habitually guided to some extent .in their choice of flour by the color of the product. This makes It feasible to incorporate cheaper flours, which have been artificially whitened.?Os wego Palladium (Dem.) ?There's a reason for that ache in In your back?right where it "Stich? es" every time you bend over, turn around or walk any distance.

Williams was bound over for the general sessions courl yester? day morning after a preliminary be? fore Magistrate .1. S. Fowles on a. war? rant charging violation of the anti eocalne law. The hearing was -hurt and no evidence for the defendant was submitted as a hearing is not a trial. Archie Smith and Will i'aggage. so ( ailed because he handles trunks for a transfer company, testified that they had bought cocaine from Dr. Wil? liams, at the Owinge drug store, a nbmber of times. Both stated that they did not ask for the drug, but handed the defendant a quarter and received a little package containing the powders. Archie Smith said that the effects were such that he "felt good for a little while and afterwards wanted more of the powders." Messrs. D. A. Sale and William Coleman of the Murray Drug compa? ny were summoned and testified as to the prescription orders sent down by ' r. Williams for the drug. Mr. Sale Hated that the orders were frequently lent down by messenger and were fill ed, the cash accompanying each o. - lor. Cocaine, he said, is merely h> Iro-chlorido of cocaine and this pow? der ll always given when an order for cocaine is sent. Mr. Coleman was called to prove that the regular account carried by the OwlflgS Drug company was s-pa rate from the orders sent by Dr. Wil? liams for cocaine. Dr. Hryan B. If tot was called to testify a^ to the relative strength of cocaine and the ingredients of the powders usually sold for cocaine. His testimony was regarded as expert and will he used in the prosecution to prove that the act forbidding the sale of cocaine applied to the powders given in the filling of prescription* Mr. DePass, representing Dr. Wil? liams, stated that on the testimony of negroes, known to be users of the drug, the case should not be sent up as it was generally known that a co? caine fiend is not a reliable witness, However, Magistrate Fowles decided that the case should be for the higher court to determine and the indict? ment will he turned over to Solicitor Timmerman today.
