We give the above denial place
in our columns, but must say it is
rather weak rejoinder, and bears
its own refutation in the admission
that drunkenness and rowdyism
may exist in the college, even in ga
small immediate circle" The young
gentleman of the committee are
perhaps honorable and sincere in
their defense of the noble institu-
ton they attend, but they are alto
gether without warrant in branding
the statement as a malicious false
hood. It is we'll known fact that
there is whisky shop on nearly
every corner in Jackson, that the
fiery fluid flows like water, and we
believe, if the faculty will only
make public the particulars, they
have more than once had students
up on the very charge SO stoutly
denied. Our giving publicity to
the matter was a surprise to Mr..
Mcknight, but after hearing about
it we felt it a duty to speak out in
meeting. 1t is an unfortunate af-
fair, but if the authorities of the
college will do their duty, it can
be remedied. In the mean time
the boys can put their committee
to work in a better field, if they
will investigate and supervise mat
ters on the campus, instead of firing
buncombe indications at a single
individual, who certainly has not
done any more violence to the body
of pupils than the committee does
to him.

MiIlsaps College Boys Reply.

In recent copy of the Colfax CHRoNI-
one we have se6n statement made by
Mr.. Robt. Mcknight, formerly a student
OF Millsaps college, to the effect that the
rowdiness and drunkenness among the
students of Millsaps college are intolera-
bic. Knowing the lack of truth contain
ed in this assertion, and realizing the in
jury which might be done this institu-
ton by such an impression, we think that
1t behooves MS, the student body of Mill
saps college, to vindicate ourselves from
an accusation 30 false in its nature and
SO pernicious in its influence. We be-
Iieve that this assertion was made with
the intention of injuring this college, and
the truth of it extends no further than
to the conduct OF Mr. Mcknight himself
while in college, and to small immedi-
ate circle. Therefore we hereby denounce
the statement made by Mr.. Robt. Nc
Knight as malicious falsehood, and as
- direct insult to the student body, and a
crime against Millsaps college.
