Clemson College Glee Club.

CLEMSON COLLEGE, s. G April &c.
EDITORS INTELL1eENCER Under less
favorable circumstances, Clemson could
not boast of what many consider the best
College Glee Club in the South. Ordina-
rily, there is little to encourage college
organizations in a military school, and had
not the above named institution secured
the services of two young men, Messrs.
Riggs and Bowman, who had had large
experience with college organizations, and
who realized the value Of them, no doubt
the spirit which has instigated and which
has kept up the Giee Club would have
been absent But Clemson's star is a good
one, and 80 long as the spirit which now
exists, continues, not only the glee club,
but all college organizations here will
thrive. I might state that my object in
writing about this club is to give, not only
all who are interested in Clemson news of
what the students are doing, but more
especially those who are snon to see what
has been accomplished. The whole Club
is grateful to its two instructors, and so
long as they remain interested the Club
will improve. Mr.. Riggs is of that stamp
which commends obedience and respect.
He is a genius, full of energy. and seems
empowered with integrity. Mr.. Bowman
makes q worthy colleague to Mr.. Riggs,
and in his department, which is the min
strel training, he is very efficient.
The broad assertion made in reference
to rank among Southern clubs is backed
by the judgment of men who have seen
msny clubs and who know Of what they
speak. At all events the club stands on
its merits and is willing to abide by the
public's decision.
On Friday, April 80, there will be an
entertainment in the College Chapel. On
May I the Club will entertain in Ander.

There are two quartettes composed of:

S. Norman. End tenor; r. G. Graham,

The first quartette is we'll trained and
will render many famous selections.
The second quartette takes a prominent
part in the minstrels, and will add greatly
to it.
The club consists of twenty-six mem

Constables Can't Seize Whisky.

CHARLESTON, s. c., April 23.-In the
case Of William B%eckroge, against w. j.
Harling and L. G. Roach, in the United
States Court to-day, the plaintiff was
awarded $500 damages for the seizure of q
trunk full Of whisky made by the defend
ants as State constables.
In his charge to the jury Judge Simon
ton said that ordinarily the seizure with
out warrant of a package, as in the present
case, was a case of trespass.
Harling and Roach, however, aver that
the fact that they were constables was
justification for their act. They claimed
the Legislature as their authority for their
act, but Judge Simonton showed that the
Acts of the Legislature were limited by
the Federal Constitution and laws, and
the legislature could pass no Act in con-
fict with the United States laws.
Judge Simonton charged that the
seizure was a violation of the United
States Commerce Act recognized by law
by the State of South Carolina. Judge
Simonton explained the Wilson bill and
showed that it was only intended to assist
the enforceme EN- of the prohibition laws,
but it could be of no effect in this State
under present conditions and circum-
stances, where the entire State is dotted
with liquor shops.
Tho result of this suit means a great
deal of money to liquor dealers all over
the north who ship to Charleston pur-
chasers for personal use.
The Attorney General has given notice
of lis intention to make a motion fer a
new trial.

are built to tho older mills provision is
made for the production Of better class
Of goods. The steady growth of the cotton
manufacturing business in the South is
due to a better recognition of the advan-
tages Of our section. Water power is be-
ing extensively used, and, as we do not
have to contend with the ice which COM
pels many Northern mills to have steam
plants as we'll, this is an important adj
vantage"
In reference to the shipment of cotton
goods made by Southern mills Col. Orr
said that a large qurntity was being sent
overland to the Pacific coast for export to
China markets. With the development
of trade with South American countries,
which is of much promise, Baltimore
could look for a large share of such ex-
ports.
The visitors were entertained at lunch
at the Maryland Club by Mr.. Andrew d.
Jones, of Woodward, Baldwin Il Co. In
the afternoon they went to see the Orioles
play the Eostons, and at night went to
the Auditorium. While in the city they
attended the annual meeting of the Balti-
mor Mutual Fire Insurance Company,
Of which they are directors.

Presidents OF Four Southern Factories
Visit Baltimore.
Baltimore Sun, IDri'L 90.

The presidents Of four leading Southern
cotton mills were in Baltimore yesterday
on a business and pleasure trip. To-day
they will go to New York city. The visit
ors, who are registered at the Hotel Stat
ford, are Col. James L. Orr, president of
the Piedmont Manufacturing Company,
Greenville, S.. c.; Capt. E. A. Smyth,
president of the Pelzer Manufacturing
Company, Pelzer, s. c.; Capt. j.. II. Mont.
gomery, president of the Pacolet Manu-
featuring Company and the Spartan Mills,
%Spartanburg, S. c.; Major J. A. Brock,
president of the Anderson Cotton Mills,
Anderson, S. @.
These mills are located within a short
distance of each other, and are in the
greatest cotton manufacturing centre of
the South. Within a radius of Greenville
are mere spindles than in the remainder
of the South. The Piedmont Mill at
Greenville is one of the oldest in the
country, and is the pioneer Of the bust
ling manufacturing section which now
surrounds that city. 1t has $1,000 spin
dies and Is per cent of its product goes to
China. The Pelzer Mill is the largest in
the South, having 107, 0OG spindles. Of
the other mills the Pacolet has $1,000,
Spartan $4,000, and the Anderson AZ, 1000.
All of chem supply foreign interests.
Col. Orr, of the Piedmont Mill, in dis
cussing the cotton manufacturing business
in substance said: "While Southern
mills have lately not made as much
money as they did in years past, they
nevertheless are making q good showing.
Compared with New England mills the
profits are larger. During the last eigh-
teen months there has been about 500. 900
new srindles installed in the South. The
develo pment of new mills, while not as
active as it was a year ago, is still going
steadily forward. In the South the pro-
p%ortionate increase in the number of
spindles has been probably ten times as
great as in New England, but there is still
room for development.
"Looking at the growth of the cotton
manufacturing business in the South
people forget that in Fall River, Mass,
alone there are more spindles than in ali
the Southern States. There is q pro-
nounced tendency toward making finer
goods in the South. New ILLS are built
with this in view, and where additions

The present flood is the most terrible
ever known even in the Mississippi. The
central idea ofthe leYee system is that if
you copfine the waters Of the stream in
narrower banks its current will be in
creased in force and will scour out a deep
or channel. In practice the plan has new.
or worked. AS a matter of fact the high
or the embankments are built the higher
the bed of the river rises also. The bed
of the river fills in instead Of securing
out. In time the bed of the Mississippi
will be above the surrounding country.
No embankments will hold it permanent
~. Tho Mobile Register, speaking on
this point, says: '"The time must come
that the Egyptian practice OF letting tie
waters overrun the land at the Spring
season shall prevail. Unfortunately, by
the time this plan is adopted the river
may be so elevated above it's natural bot
tom that it may seek another channel
