men, meet regularly to consider the
health Of Clemson.
The health so far this season is very
good. Ono young man came here
sick, and is still ILL.,, But the hospital
records will SHOW that we have had
very few cases of sickness from local
causes.
The moral and religious tone is high.
There are special reasons why this
should be so. In the. first place, the
majority of boys come from religious
country homes, and in tho second place,
there are but few temptations around
Clemson to lead boys into fashionable
dissipation. Some people have an idea
that q State, college Is necessarily a
seminary of vice, because the State is
neutral in religion. 1t is true that
nothing should ever be done Or said
that will offend in the remotest degree
students ut Clem'on who may not be
Christians, but we are doing all we can
to get the Christian boys to exert a
positive influence.
The Clemson boys are wide awake to
anything concerning the interests Of
life. They have u good foot ball team
Il tennis club, monthly magazine,
three literary societies, glee club
IN short, all the little auxiliaries that
tend to make modern college life
happy.
The biggest work l have on hand
Just now is to pay infinite attention to
il finite details. Success depends upon
doing many small things faithfully. l
think the greatest need Of Clemson is
public inspection. We want the people
to-vislt CLEMSON. We want them to
sec Clemson, SO that false impressions
may be removed. l fear that we have
too much negative advertising, aud
not enough positive advertising. The
people know what we do not do, but
they. don't know what we are doing.

HANIPTON'S RESIGNATION.
The Old Hero Takes the Matter
Quietly and Will Return to His
Home in Columbia.


The Washington correspondence of
the News and Courier has the follow
ing statement concerning the decapi-
tation of General Hampton:
Gen. Hampton's resignation has been
in the hands of President Mckinley
since the advent of the present admin
istration, and the change would have
occurred at a much earlier period had
the opportunities of Gen. Lougstreet
and his political friends prevailed.
President Mckinley had two objects
in delaying action in this now cele-
brated case. When Gen. Longstreet
and his friends were clamoring loudest
for Gen. Hampton's official scalp, the
"Grand Old Man of the Palmetto
State" was dangerously i'll. The Pre-
sident decided that he would not acce pt
Gen. Hampton's resignation until he
was given ample time to regain his
health by an extended trip to the
covered fran his late illness, and de-
clares that he is in robust health, and
weighs over 200 pounds. The Presi-
dent also desired Gen. Hampton to
have an opportunity to frame and sub
NIT his annual report on the business
OF the commissioners office. That
report has been completed, and is
ready for the printer.
Although Gen. Hampton feels that
he has been treated with admirable
consideration by the President, the
latter neglected to notify the General
that his resignation had been accepted
before announcing the appointment of
his successor. The first intimation of
Gen. Longssreet's appointment was
conveyed to Gen. Hampton by your
correspondent. Gen. Hampton was in
his Office at the general pension build
ing, performing his official duties un-
conscious Of his decapitation. When
apprised Of the Presidents action,
Gen. Hampton remarked that it was
not unexpected in view of what has
been so often stated in the newspapers
on the subject. He added that he
rendered his resignation as soon as
President Mckinley was inaugurated,
and, therefore, he was prepared to re-
linquish the Office without delay. He
said he appreciated the efforts Of so
many Of his former associates in the
Senate to have him retained. and it is
gratifying to know that 80 much con-
sideration was shown him by the ad-
ministration. Having completed his
! annual report, Gen. Hampton is fully
| prepared to turn over the Office to his
successor in excellent condition. Hc
will leave Washing in few days, ac-
companied by his daughter, to attend
| the State Fair at Columbia.

by demanding the money of the in
surance companies when they knew
that 1t had been obtained in contem-
rlatiGn OF suicide, Chas. Delbridge
charges that the widow and her father
we're parties to the fraud. On the
other side, Mr.. G. w. Motsa-father of
the widow Delbridge-dentes tho truth
made to appear that the real animus
| Of Charles Delhridge's conduct in maxi
ing his charges is that he was only
given SIS 900 out of the insurance
money, when he claimed 1000 as his
share, his brother being indebted to
him in that amount at the time OF his
death, he claims. Delbridge declares
that he knew of his brothers inten-
tion to commit suicide, and in fact,
had dissuaded him at one time from
The act, he says. 1t is peculiar fact,
however, that at the time Delbridge's
body was discovered in Eastlake
Charles, the brother, who now de-
surance companies, was the most ram
pant in denouncing all intimations of
suicide. He went sp far as to declare
that he would hold any one who said
such q thing personally responsible
for the bare insinuation Of such
thing.
II. j. Delbridge was last seen, ac-
cording to the evidence at the coroner's
investigation, late one evening as he
entered bath house at Eastlake and
prepared to take a swim. He got q
, boat and rOwed out on the water, and
1t was supposed had taken the cramps
when he went into the water. His
brother now, however, declares that
/ he has witnesses to prove that they
saw him when he went out in the boat,
8 and that his actions all indicated that
8 he was contemplating selfdestruction
t when he plunged in. These witnesses,
f he declares, saw his brother kneel
down in the boat and pray before he
: went in, and they also saw him sink
y and rise to the surface three times
, before he finally disappeared from
, view.
. At tho time OF the occurrence, Dol
bridge says, these witnesses did not
want to let it be known what they had
seen for fear OF becoming mixed up in
the affair in an unpleasant way, but
now, he says, they are willing to ten
what they know to assist the IN,
surance companies In invoking the ale
of the law to punish the conspira.ors::
Delbridge himself Is on the slae Oh
the insurance companies, ana ueciaLes
that he will do all he can TO sec the
wrong done them righted. Inc reason
he did not tell what he knew or MS
| brother's intention to commit salclue
at the time, and thus prevent the pay
,nent OF the money by the companies,
| ho savs Ia that he wanted to see his
| brothor's two little children provided
for.

COmDanics.

An Atlanta Man Commits Suicide
With Intent to Dcfraud Insurance
Companies. 49,.
Recent publications in the Spectator,
an Insurance journal, have caused
some exceedingly sensational develop
mcnts In the case Of tho late Thomas
}. De!bridge OF Atlanta, Ca, who was
drowned IN the pond at Lakewood last
spring. At the time OF the death of
Delbrldge 1t was limited that he had
committed suicide, after having secured
ne Insurance to the amount of nearly
800, 900. Most of these policies wore
taken out by him within a short time
of his death and, in several Instances
he had not paid the premiums, but had
given his notes for them. The in
surance companies threatened to con-
test the payment Of the policies on the
ground OF fraud-a conspiracy to swim
die them--but finally q compromise
was arranged by which the widow OF
the deceased was paid $53, 900, $40, 600
less than the face valuo OF the policies
held by ber husband at the time OF his
death.
The sensational feature Of tho case
now brought to the attention OF tho
| public Is the statement Of Charles Il.
| Dclbridgc, ~ brother OF the deceased,
and his business partner for years,
I that there was, in fact, conspiracy to
defraud the insurance com panies, and
that the wife OF his brother and her
father knew OF it's existence at tho time
of :Delbridges death, as he had not only
declared to them his intention TO commit
suicide after obtaining the tneurance, |
but had actually tried to shoot himself
In tho presence Of his wife the day
before he was drowned at Lakewood. '

THE CONFEDERATE ROLLS.
The Companies That Are Needed
to Complete Roster of Soldiers
from the State.


to Complete Roster OF soldiers
from the State.
The following has been issued in
regard to matter Of great concern to
the history OF the State:
To the Press OF South Carolina and the
General Public:
l have an appeal to make to the pa
trioJism and pride of the press Of the
State in which have confidence, and
to our people in general.
Upon assuming this office, l find
many rolls missing. My first duty is
to secure these rolls If possible. The
complete rolls and accompanying re-
cords of the troops from South Caro-
lima that engaged in the war between
the States was the primary purpose of
the legislation creating and continu-
ing this office.
This Is the foundation of the his
. toric edifice that the State historian
may be commissioned to build. There
can be no superstructure Of history
until this four dation Is we'll laid with
not stone missing. There ought to
be none. Better no history than thai
there should be missing the rolls of
gallant companies from the military
Confederate record Of South Carolina.
/ appeal to the press to extend this
notice, and ] especially urge the com
ty press to help in this business to the
best of it's ability. We have had our
Iliad. No man with Homeric aspira-
tions can proceed TO relate the story
until the Cato is supplied.
T., :. Nor Ia our appeal to the press only.
Fl is addressed to all the men and all
the women in the State who have q
3, Confederate interest. And | further
, call upon all persons to whom the late
General Farley, my predecessor, con-
fided rolls, or sketches to return the
same to this office without delay.
South Carolina was the first to lead of
in the war for States rights, Let her
not be the last to put upon record the
noble services of her devoted soldiers
