SUMTER TOBACCO WARE
HOUSE COMPANY.

The opening sale, or ;'break'' as it is tech
nically called in tobacco psr!ance. o. the
Sumter Tobacco Warehouse will take place
at their warehouse in Sumter Oh next Thurs
day, the 29th instant The establishment OF
a warehouse in our city and its successful
management will prove Of great benefit TO all
of u.s. The planting Of tobacco in South
Carolina is a new Industry. Tobacco experts
declare that our soil is e1cellently adapted 10
its cultivation, and predict that before long
/. will be extensively raised by the planters
for market az we'll as our time bonored cot
ton. 1t certainly will be rs.>.d if the n-rkets
are easy of access.
% the 22d the tobacco M xet was opened
at Darlington. Buyers were there from all
over the country. Tobacco was there from
all the surrounding counties. Hundreds OF
piles of tobacco were on the floor of the ware
houses, while crowds Of interested spectators
other ;han the buyers and sellers, filled the
spacious buildings. But what was most
striking to the locker on was the interest
manifested by every class Of citizens: the
bank president was there, also the merchant,
The farmer, the lawyer, the doctor, the me-
chanic, the newspaper man, in fact, everyone
seemed interested and put their shoulders to
the wheel and gave the enterprise big send
of
That is exactly what we must do in Sumter.
We must talk Tobacco Warehouse; We must
not le, the trade slip from US. We can't
afford to let our Sumter and Clarendon
tobacco go from US. This is the natural
market of the farmers OF these counties and
they prefer coming to Sumter. Then let's
do as they do 10 our little neighboring city:
pull together for the common good, whoop
her up for all she's worth with big whooP.
Everybody must gives helping hand. Don't
forget next Thursday, the opening day. All
are invited to be present, especially the ladies.
We are sure it will prove exceedingly inter-
esting. The sales will commence al 10 o'clock

An Offensive Statement From

CLEMSON COLLEGE, S c., Aug. %
To the Editor Of the State At a
meeting in the chapel yesterday
morning every man in the corps OF
cadets denied having furnished the
information rejecting upon the col.
lege, as published in The State OF
August 18th At a regular meeting
OF the faculty all the officers and pro.
fessors, associate professors and
tutors were present, and all volun-
.arily denied having made TO your
reporter any statement rejecting upon
any officer or department Of the col
lege There was one instructor only
who admitted tina. he had made GER
tain damaging statements in your re-
porter's article. lnasmuch, however,
as your reporter states that he has
been informed by professors, not a
professor or instructor, and students,
and inasmuch as every professor and
every officer in the college, with a
single exception, and every student
in the college denies having made
any such statements to your reporter,
he must either give the names OF the
professors or students who made the
statements or stand branded by
faculty ard students as liar and a
slanderer.

Tillman on Clemson.
An Investigating Committee
Appointed.

Senator TiI!mau was in the city
yesterday As usual he had some
thing interesting to say. This time it
was concerning Clemson College. He
does not seem to agree thoroughly
with Mr.. R. W. Simpson that every
thing is moving along serenely at
that young and promising State in
stitution In fact, Senator TiIIman
indicated that there would have to
be some important changes before he
would feel assured that the college
would be prepared to do successfully
the work laid out for it
And from what be said it is very
evident that the board of trustees
have been cognizant OF this for some
time, for au investigating committee
has been appointed to seek out the
cause of the trouble, aud the Senator
stated that the committee would
have met before this but that other
engagements prevented his attending
the meeting The committee will
meet within the next ten days or two
weeks probably
Senator Tillman said very much
that would prove mighty interesting
reading, but the Senator forbid its
publication. What Senator T;ilman
did say for publication, however. was
as follows:
There is surely trouble and lack
of harmony and unity in the faculty
at Clemson. A committee has been
appointed to investigate the entire
matter, aud what | want is any
thread that will lead me, and the
committee of which | am member
to any evidence that will expose the
trouble and the cause of the lack OF
unity. A house divided against
itself cannot stand, but you must
remember that there are many
excuses to be made for the shortcom-
ings of the board and faculty, be.
cause of the magnitude of the work,
the newness of the college to every
member of the faculty and the diver
si.y of the work done.
1.-The last meeting of the board at
Clemson was, / can say, stormy
one. There is always wrangling at
the meetings, the members are hard
headed set Of men and always ex-
press their views. The way to aid
the school. however. is to let its
friends criticise it and not its declared
enemies, or if its enemies, then let
them produce evidence to suhstanti.

Governor Evans, who was present,
seemed to think that the real cause
of the trouble rested with the trus-
tees that they did not give Presi-
dent Craighead enough authority or
would not adopt suggestions made

accused of being led By him Tile

Fearful Result of a Runaway Acct.
dent This Morning.
Blood Fascinated q Crowd Of Awed
Spectators of the Scene.

Morris Barry, the well-known teamster
of the North End, was almost instantly
killed at 1920 today on South Main
street, at the corner of Power street, by
coming in contact with runaway horse
owned by j. III. Althans, the baker.
The runaway was in charge of Alexan-
der Arthur, and he says he was driving
south on Benefit street, near the head of
Power street, when the britchen or hold
back on the right shaft of his wagon, be-
came unfastened, causing the wagon to
run against the horse. This frightened
the animal and he at once started upon
the run down Power street to South Main
street. Just east of.South Main and on
Power street, Mr.. Arthur was thrown out
of the wagon and run over, but not seri-
ously injured.
Mr.. Barry was driving north on South
Main street and on the west side of the
street. lie was in an open buggy, and
drove across the foot OF Power street as
the runaway horse reached the foot of the
hill. Mr.. Barry made an effort to turn
his horse out of the way of danger, but
he miscalculated, for the runaway struck
the side of his carriage, and the shaft of
Althans' wagon struck him on the right
breast piercing his body near the heart.
Mr.. Barry's vehicle was broken into
kindling wood on the spot, and at the
same time Mr.. Barry placed both hands
over his breast and exc laimed, "Oh, ohi
j am hurt, " and then fell TO the ground.
Officer John j. Toole saw the collision
and at once telephoned for the ambu-
lance, and then hastened TO the scene OF
the collision. He found Mr.. Barry in
dying condition. The ambulance was
but a few minutes in reaching the spot,
but before its arrival Mr.. Barry was dead.
Mr.. Barry's horse was not injured 10
any great extent, but Mr.. Althans horse
was covered with cuts and bruises, but
was able to be driven OFF by Mr.. Arthur.
Mr.. Barry was about 40 years old, and
many of the citizens OF Providence know
him as being an honest, upright and
sober man. His first important contract
in toaming was the filling OF Gaspee
street for the Consolidated road, and
since that time he has been connected
with large jobs OF this kind.
He lived at 81 State street, and had a
large stable on Gaspee street, where he
had 20 or more horses.
Ii was a gruesome sight TO see the end
OF the shaft OF the broken wagon covered
with the blood of the dead man, and
even after the man had been lifted from
the ground into the ambulance the
crowd gathered around to get a look at
| the blood OF the victim that stained the
| wagon and ground.
