lance seems to have befnddled many of
our esteemed contemporaries, as they are
announcing variety of dates and miss
ing the figure every time. Upon author

ment that the annual meeting will be-
gin at Clemson College on Wednesday,

Over Four Hundred Perish.

LONDON, June 23.-A, most terrible
calamity has befallen the British battle
ship Victoria, the flagship Of the Medi-
terran can squadron, and hundreds Of
lives were lost. The Victoria, which few
the flag of Fice-Admiral Sir George
Tryon, K. G. B., was run into off Trip0li
by the British battleship CamperdoWn,
also belonging to the Mediterranean
squadron, and under the command OF
Capt, Charles Johustone. The Victoria
had an enormous hole made in her side
through which the water poured in tor
rents.
The immense hull of the Victoria at
once began to settle, and before those on
board Of her could cast loose their small
boats ahe went to the bottom, carrying
down with her nearly all on board.
Som of the officers and crew managed
to get out of the suction caused by the
sinking vessel and were rescued. Among
those LOST is Vice Admiral Tryon.
The first reports of the disaster stated
that about 200 men were drowned, but
later dispatches show that the loss OF life
is far greater, not less than 400 of the
officers and crew Of the Victoria haying
gone down with their ship,

Clemson College Gets a Head.

After much daliberation the board Of
trustees Of Clemson College has at last
succeeded In selecting q president for tba!
Sinstitutfon. The successful man is Prof
e b. Craighead, Of Woford College,
Spartanburg, one Of the ablest young
educators In this section Of the South,
judging from what those who know him
have to say.
He was selected on the Ara. ballot at
the last meeting of the trustees.
The meeting was held at Clemson Col
lege on Wednesday evening. All the
members wars prevent, as were most OF
the candidates tor the presidency.
The new president is said TO be exceed
ing bright, possessing good executive
mind as well as ability as an instructor.
He was born upon farm in Missouri.
he had great ambition, and being hard

three years to Emory College in Virginia,
where he graduated. After some teach
Ing In the public schools he became a
professor Ia Vanderbilt University in
Tennessee. Shortly afterwards he went
to Europe and remained three years
studying In the University Of Paris and
at Leipaic. Upon his return to this
country he went TO Vanderbilt Univer-
sity, and was still there when elected in
1880 to the chairs Of Greek and German
In Woford College. Here be has been
very 5uccessful. He Is now in the prime
OF manhood, being only thirty -four years
of fage.
The board think they haye secured the
right man in the right place, and expect
much from Professor Craighead. He
will hardly have time for much teaching
at Clsnson, but will probably take the
chair OF Greek. He will not assume tho
duties Of his Office, the Governor says,

local camps, scattered through seventeen
States and Territories. The objects of
the organization are explained in an
address issued by Gen. Gordon, as fol-
lows
Tie object and purposes Of this organi-
zation will be- strictly social, literary,
historical and benevolent. It will en-
deavor 20 unite In q general federation ali
Associations Of the Confed derate veterans,

to call the attention OF the old soldiers in

Orleans, La By prompt action there is
pIsnty Of time to organize the Camps, and
as many Of the veterans who desire TO

At the conclusicl Of thereunion it is
proposed to run an excursion from Bir-
minghaT1, via various Northern prisons,
sto Chicago, where the veterans can spend
sfonr days viewing the World 3 Fair, and
also be present at the unyeiling at Chicago
OF the first Confederate monument ever
