THE CLAFLIN REBELLION.
The Students Must Return to their Duties
Under Prof. DeTrerilIe, or be Dis
missed from the College
| Special to News and Courier. |

COLUMBIA, April 1S.-The Univer-
sity trustees did not announce imme-
diately after their adjournment, about
O'Clock this morning, what their ac-
ton had been in the Clafiin College
matter, because they considered it pro-
per courtesy to President Dunton to
give him the first notification of it. Mr..
Dunton was notified soon after the ad-
journment of the board and returned
to Orangeburg this morning.
After considerable effort the facts
were obtained this afternoon for publi-
cation. The preamble and resolutions
adopted read as follows:
The trouble between one of the pro-
fessors Of Clatln College and the stu
dents Of the Institution, in which the
students are clearly in rebellion against
the authority of the College, coming
before the trustees:
ut is resolved, That the students be
and are hereby required to return to
their classes under Prof DeTreville at
once, and that every student failing to
comply with this resolution be expelled
from the College,:
"And whereas, it appears that the
rebellion Of students grew out of the
grave misconduct of two of the profess
sors, beginning in the faculty meeting
and ending on the College campus:
"Resolved, further, That it be re-
ferred to committee of three, to be
appointed by the chairman, to report
what action should be taken by this
board in reference to the offending
professors"
AS heretofore announced, this COM
mittee consists of Messrs Buist, Coker
and McIver. The board Of trustees will
hold a -Hecial meeting on the 30th inst,
and will then consider the report.
SOME TALK OF THE STUDENTS REFUS-
ING TO REPORT TO PROF DETRE-
vILLE's CLASSES.
ORANGEBURG, April 19.-The action
ofthe University trustees in the matter
of the recent Clafin trouble is COM
mended by all the sober-thinking peo-
PIE of this community.
Reports were out this morning to the
effect that the students were all packing
up preparatory to leaving for their re-
spective homes, but when your repre-
sentative went out to the College to
inquire into the matter he. found every
thing quiet and the exercises of the
institution going on as usual. DIR. Dun
ton, president of the College, would
say very little about the affair. He
remarked to your correspondent that
he had stated publily to the students
this morning that he could take no &C
ton in the premises until the Clafin
trustees had met and taken action.
Prof. DeTreville was not in the city
to-day, and consequently did not re-
port for duty at the College. 1t is not
known whether he will report or not
until after the Clafin board meets and
takes action in the premises.
1t is positively asserted by the repre-
tentative students that Pref. DeTreviIle
will have no class to instruct, even if
he does report for duty. This is virtually
ignoring the decision Of the State board
altogether.
The Claflin trustees will meet at an
early date in Cincinnati.

THE STORY OF TIE CASE.

THE STORY OF TIE CASE.
UNION, April little publication il
the World this morning of the arrest
of Mr.. Samuel Jeffries of Gaffney, fol
the killing of DR.. White twenty-siS
years ago, caused a sensation here.
The following is the story Of the case
as gathered by your correspondent:
About twenty-five or six years ago
during the last stages of the war, Mr.
Samuel Jefries was depu!ized to g0
through the country and collect all the
deserters from the army. While out
he happened to meet young man
named Sparks, and arrested and sent
him back to the army. This greatly
incensed the father Of young Sparks,
and the first time he met Mr.. Jeffries,
in a stillhouse, they became involved
in a difficulty, the result of which was
that old man Sparks was killed by
Jeffries.
The principal witness in this case
was one DR.. White, a prominent ply,
sician in that country. On the eve
ming of August 25, 1865, DR.. White
was sitting in his home near window
when an assassin slipped stealthily up
and .illed DR.. White with buckshot
from a douDle-barrelled shotgun, kill
ing him instantly. This was in Au-
gust, and Jefries's trial came off in the
following October, at which trial he
came clear. Suspicion rested on him
as being the murderer of DR.. White.
Enough evidence, however, could
never be obtained to justify his arrest.
About four years ago man by the
name of Medlin died here. On his
death bed he made q confession that he
was paid by Jeffries to kill DR.. White.
But the only persons at the death bed
Of Medliu were his wife and Jeffries,
all other persons being excluded by
Jefries. Hor some reason, which can
only be imagined, Medlin's wife kept
her mouth shut.
At the last term of court here Mr.,
Sam Jettries had young Medlin, son
of the man who killed DR.. White, in
dicted for burning his stables and
number of horses and farm implements.
TO get even with Jeffries the Widow
Medlin has brought forward the death
bed confession of her husband. 1t also
seems that another mans conscience Is
shifting him the man that went along
with the cro wd that murdered DR.
White on TIE night of Aug. 26, 1865,
and held the horses Of the crowd. He
has said that he can give some interest
ing facts in the trial.
This will be an intensely interesting
case, as the man implicated Is one OF
the wealthiest and most prominent
men in the eupper portion ofthis coun-
tv. He is a very old man.
The constable sent to arrest him yes
terday found him sick in bed, and he
asked that guard be placed over him
until he is able to be removed. He
also offered $4,000 bond for his ap
pearance to the sheriff when he is able
to get here. T.M.N.

Of the most dreaded pests with which

seemed that our orchards were doom

porting from Australia q parasite
which feeds upon them in which

inmate them. The parasite referred
to is the wedalia cardinals and they
seem to be doing good work, and I
would advice you to send to Austria

spread over the islands with great
rapidity. Should you decide to send

I feel sure would furnish them to
you with but little expense"

If there is any general public be-
lief that ssfree sugar" would be no
cheaper than taxed sugar why 90
the parties interested in trying TO
boom the puny sugar interest OF
Louisiana, Kansas, California, ETC.,
fight so earnestly to- retain 1t 1or
protection?
The true policy of protection In
this country is to tax foreign pro-
auctions that come in competition
with our own till the industries are
able to care for themselves; but
when an industry under thirty
years of high tariff falls off seventy
| per cent, and shows no sign OF re.
cuperation except IN the fiatulen'
schemes and windy talk OF inter
ested sugar reiners, it will not &c
for you to pin your faith on them
for your future prosperity ever
with the mistaken views OF "Ar
American" behind them. The Amer
lean public demand that the tarlf
on sugar must go. KAMAA1NA.

..The Sugar Tariff Must Co."

Mr.. EDITOR: In the GAZETTE of
March 18th can American sheds
light on the question of ssprotection,
sugar duties, ETC." None of the
positions he taxes in that article
are entirely impregnable. The rea-
son he gives for the high duty on
sugar does not happen to be the
true one. The duty of &c. or more
per h., equivalent to 20 to 80 per
cent. advalorem, is the only real
war tax on any necessity of life
that we are burdened with at this
time, and that ought to follow the
path made by other tariff reduc-
tions in the last twenty years.
First, because it was war tax,
pure and simple. Secondly, because
it has totally failed to stimulate the
sugar production in this country.
Previous to 1862, the crop of Louis
lana alone was as high as ass, 900
hhds. in q year. In 1889, or '88
possibly, Ex-Governor Yarmouth
says the crop was the largest for
many years and at the highest
estimate was only 14O. 600 hhds.
The prophecy of great things
from ssbeets and sorghum is q
chestnut, and the late Mr.. Torbert
used to predict the speedy failure
of American market for Island
sugar from the rapid rise of the
beet industry. That was thirty
years ago, and the fulfillment is as
remote to the thoughtful mind as it
was then. This is not a sugar
growing country and nearly thirty
years of war tariff have failed to
develop it to serious proportions,
and in fact we scarcely grow enough
to supply the annual increase in
our consumption, certainly not
enough to affect the price of sugar
in the markets of the world.
"The reasons why the duty"
ought to be abolished are num-
erous. It is a prime necessity of
the poor IS well as the rich, and
ought not to be taxed without
urgent reason. The only 'ssweeten-
ing" which this country can grow
is GLUCOSE, and that ought to be
taxed to death or driven to the
wall by foreign cane sugar. We
can only produce cheap sugar here
or in Louisiana with cheap labor.
If we had yonr magnificent climate
even with. our smaller yield, we
could hold our own. with lands far
removed from our markets. Ordi
narily cheap sugar production and
cheap labor go together as the ex-
perience of the pioneer planters in
Hawaii proved conclusively.

HILAHILA.
The United States and Hawaii.


Mr.. EDITOR: In recent number
of the GAZETTE [ see the treaty
question discussed again. It ought
to be evident to Hawaiians that
there is no desire on the part OF
Americans for annexation. The
policy of non-intervention in the
general affairs of the world, which
has so long guided our diplomatic
action. will probably have to be
cast aside before very long, when a
systematic effort shall be made to
increase our commerce.
The ardent feeling that our flag
should be seen again on the ocean,
the popularity of our new navy"
the liberal action in Congress as to
it's increase and development, all
point towards an expansion of our
intercourse with the rest of the
world.
But our policy will hardly be
that of England or Germany-an-
nexation-but rather will it favor
independent neutral governments
in the Pacific. We would, / be-
lieve, much prefer that Hawaii,
Samoa and Tonga (fcr instance)
should be open to all than that
they should become American, Ger
man and British.
There is, of course, a feeling that
we have reaped few benefits from
the sugar treaty. but one authority
thinks it would have paid us to
have presented Hawaii with such a
sum as might have been collected
as duty at Honolulu on our ex
ports. and then to have taxed the
Hawaiian sugar.

TAMMANY HALL.
May, 1890.

The New York Evening Post of
April Sd IS likely to become only
less memorable than the issues of
the Times containing the exposures
which led to the downfall of the
Tweed Ring more than twenty
years ago. The Post contains
similar expose of the character of
the so-called "new" Tammany of
to-day, an organization which has
been fondly supposed to be purged
OF the gross qualities of it's histori-
cal predecessor.
The facts published in the Post
show that Tammany is the same
organization of disreputable politi-
clans, Office holders and Office
seekers, liquor sellers, gamblers,
pickpockets, fraudulent contrac-
tors, loafers, bummers, and even
murderers, that it was when Tweed
was conducting his gigantic swind-
Ing operations during the " ar.
The operations for swindling have
not proved SO superb during the
last few years as they were during
Tweed's time, but if New York had
got the Worlds Fair they might
well have become SO, and as it is
somc of Tammany's faithful work
ers have risen from the humble
employment like that of street
car conductor to the proud position
of independent millionaires.
The Post furnishes brief but au-
thentic and certainly pithy blogra-
phies of the twenty-eig members
of the executive committee of Tam
many, an organization which at
present CONTROLS the Offices and
governs the city of New York.
These twenty-eight men are al
professional politicians and aspir-
ants for political favors. The classi-
fcation of them furnished by the
Post is as follows. Some of course
fall into more than one category:
Favored city contractors 2, nominal
lawyers 2, lawyer l, former carpen-
ter /, former navy yard caulker /,
