Their Board Reducsd.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Nov. 3.-Gover.
nor Tillrnan returned yesterday attec'
noon from Clemson College where he
has been attending the annual meeting
Of the directors of that institution.
The hoard, in addition to preparing
it's annual reports for the Legislature,
decided on number of important mat
ters.
It will bs good news to the poor boys
of the State who are ambitious to at
tend Clemson and who are deferred be:
cause of the lack of finances to know
that the Trustees reduced the price OF
board from 81 a month to $6, to take
effect from the next session, which opsns
in February. This is cheaper than at
sny institution of the kind in toe United
States. The Trustees think tts+the
price of board cag bbe permanently kept
at s6 a month. The students will be
given the same bill of fare as nov and
will be allowed all they want to eat.
The Trustees will call on the Lsglsla'
ture for an appropriation to aid the col.
lege next year. 1t has not been decided
what will be asked for but it may be
| somthing like 100000. This appropria.
| ton will bs necessary tor several res-
| sons. One is that the Loss of the main
building by fire this summer entaled a
| serious loss on the college. Another is
that the institution has spsut great deal
of money this year in completing the
| various buildings which are absolutely
| necessary to the sucoessful carrying out
of the work to be done. SILL another
reason is that the income from fertilizer
tags next year is expected to be very
much reduced. This is because the loT
price OF cotton has put the farmers IN
| such condition that they will buy little
fertilizer next year.
The present session Of the college has
| been shortsned. It was to end Decem.
Der 20 but the board PROVIDED for its
ending on 30sh Of this month. The
reason for this Is that The heating Is.
cilities are meagre so fer and the board
| does not care to take the risks OF sub
iectlng the students to the results CT ex.
posure. By the time tho next session
opens, in February, the heating facilities
will be lnprsVed.
The work of rebuilding sne matt build.
ing is progressing satisfactorily, ard the
building will be ready for use in F.b'
ruary.
The anpuI contests of the Calhoun
Society of the college we're held on Thurs
day night, aud Governor Tillmsn ex'
presses himself as delighted with the
splendid showing made the boys. The
Governor said that all Of the young
orators did well, but he is particularly
full Of praise for young man named

Claims That the Latter Alenated the
Affections of Mrs. Heeney.
Damages Laid at $4,000.

Several weeks ago the domestic
troubles of the Heeneys caused much
gossip on the South Side the scandal

brought by Edward Heensy against
Michael Osborne. The latter Is charged
with alternating the affections Of
Heeney's wife aud he asks damages in
the sum of SIC. 900, the suit being of q
civil character. Ex-Judgo VIII, Stan
ton, who is MIR. Heeney's attorney, filed
the papers in the case with Prothono-
tary PRYOR late Wednesday night.
Mr., Heeney is wagon maker by
trade and much respected man among
the people of the South Side. He is of
middle age and has been married for a
number of years. He has no children.
Osborne is also married man. has a
wife and children and is the owner Of
considerable property. Mr.. and Mrs.
Hesnsy were among his tenants.
This gave Osborne an excuse for fire.
Quently invading the Hseney home
stead and Mr.. Heeney declares that the
opportunity was used by Osborne to
sway Mrs. Heeney from the allegiance
that she owed to her husband.
Last February Mr.. Heeney became
aware of the condition Of affairs and a
domestic explosion followed. 1t ap-
pears that Mr.. and Mrs. Heeney have
again become reconciled and the Grim
insl proceedings contemplated have
been abandoned, On the strength Of
the confession made by Mrs. Heeney to
her husband concerning Osborne's con-
duct to her the suit for alienation Of
affections has been brought.
There has been only one similar case
tried in this county and that was the
suit of H. w. Druckenmiller against
