ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THEY MADE A SERIOUS MISTAKE rihe Men Denj Tlmt the Onhr Pub? lished at Hevellle Ft>rbade Speci? fically Their Lark. From Tho State.. The newspaper reports of the recent troiuble at Clemson college being morj or less incorrect and not altogether fair and impartial, we, the undersign? ed ex-members of the junior clas.?, desire to give to the people of the State what we conscientiously be? lieve to be a true and Impartial state? ment of the facts. We do not be? lieve that any one knowingly made an Incorrect statement; but we do know lhat some of the newspaper reports were written by men whe who knew but little about the facts which they tttempUd to state. Consequently, some blunders and mistakes were made, and we consider It our duty to the people of the State tc correct, as far as possible, the?e mh takes. Taking up these stateme nts In order, we desire to make the following cor? rections: 1. The newspaper articles re furred to above etat'd that several order*' and warnings were published at re? treat on the evening of March 31st. As a matter of fact, only one order was pubJishei and that callel atten? tion to paragraph 126 of the "Regu? lations of the eiovernment of Ca? dets." The order in question was as follows: "Headquarters Corps of Cadets "Clemson Agricultural College, "Clemson College ,S. C. "March 31, 190*. "General Orders No. 42. "Par. 1. The attention cf the corps of cadets Is especially directed to paragraph 126 of 'The Regulations for the Government of Cadets,' which reads as follows: " 'Any cadet who leaves barracks without authority at any time be? tween retreat and reveille, shall bo dismissed. ' "By order of Capt. Minus." As far as we have been able to find out, no one left barracks without authority daring that time. The news raper reports made it seem that this order was intended for the next day. whew the order itself plainly shows that It was not 2. A statement was male that tele grams were s*nt to Prof. R H. Flk? in/ormlng him that hU services wer? no longer needed R. H. Pike !s n cadet and not a professor; and th~: telegram was sent in a spirit <?f fun, merely to let Fike know that the par? ticipants were carrying on their April ft ol celebration, cadet Fike was In no way connected with the affair. 3. The statement that the rest of the students were verv ind'.gnant over the actl >n of their comrads Is a mis? take, as practically the whole s'.udent body treated the matters as a J<?';e. 4. Cadet T. S. Allen was not a leader lr. the celebration, in fact, there were n ? leaders everybody act? ing for himself. Cadet Allen did. after the juniors were dlsmWtenl from college, advise the re t of the stu? dents to remain at college, but did ? ? solely l*.caus> he thought that by using hit Influence he inlfcht h* lp pre? vent the lower classmen from leaving with the Junior j. 6. There was also a slight mistake made as to the number of students In the Junior class. There were only 81 students In the class; 48 of these were dismissed and one suspended. Of the rest several were on the ath? letic teams and would have gone on the "lark" had they not been persuad? ed by their classmates not to go. We do not wish to cast any rellec tlons on any one; our purpose being to correct some statements that might create a wrong Impression among the people of the State. In conclusion, we, tho undersigned, wish to say to the people of this and other States that wc, the dismissed cadets of Clemson college, do now feel tlx* soriousness of the offense and think that the punishment received waa just and that we have absolutely no ill feelings towards the action of the discipline committee of clemson college. We realize that the ivistake was a serious o?i", li|M li t i> >t feel that any disgrace BilefWlj Ott? ???n : ? tab H. C. Twlggs, Jas. P. McMillan, K. A. Gardner, S. O. Kelley, E. D. Clem? ent. C. Y.

The telegram also stated that Greenville had been notified of his decision. Man? ager Stouch, of Greenville, has claim? ed that he had Stevens under contract and that Steverns would report to him at the opening of the -season, but as Stevens arrived in Sumter last week and reported to Manager Dingle for practice no do-ubt has been entertain? ed as to where he would play this season. Secretary Farrell's decision knocks the last prop from beneath Greenville's claim. Tribble, who Is also claimed by Greenville, has been icleased upon payment of $50. ? ? ?

It is a foregone conclu? sion that this town will not overstep the salary limit this season, for the promoters of the same do not care to lose any more money, and if other cities disregard the limit and by doing fco put out stronger teams it will moan that the League will disband before the end of the season.
