HAD TWO HOURS TO PACK
TRUNKS.
Sixty four Rebellious Cadets Ex-
PEELED from Citadel.
SPECIAL to The State.

Sl'SIlul W L Iuc DldJc-
Charleston, April S.-The
States forecast of the outcome
of the investigation of the board
of visitors Of the South Carolina
Military academy came to pass
this afternoon when Ga cadets
were dismissed from the Citadel.
The board met ut 10 o'clock this
morning and was in session until
. clock, when it adjourned to
meet again at t o'clock. 1t met
simply to declare its findings,
which was done in Il few minutes.
The cadets were assembled and
the decision of the board was an
nounccd to them. The expected
demonstration did not take place.
They received the news of the ex-
pUlNi0n of more than one half of
their number with absolute silence.
The cadet, whom the report affect
cd were given two hours to pack
their trunks and leave the Citadel.
At $ o clock tonight the corps
had dwindlea down to 50 BOYS
and many of the rooms of the bar
racks are empty.
The work of the Citadel will
go on as usual and it is safe to
say that better discipline. will be
maintained.
The ringleaders of last Mondays S
outbreak have given trouble, it is
said, ever since they entered the
walls of the Citadel and their
absence will be salntary to the
we'll being and good order of the
States military institution.
The expulsion of the cadets
looked for. The number dismiss
ed would not have been SO large
had not the cadets all agreed to
do or die together They ~
claimed equal responsibility in ,hl
revolt and refused to take advan.,
tage of any extenuating circum-
stances. The dismissal of the
cadets Of the third and fourth
classes is not absolute and thsy
may apply for resdmission at the
next meeting Of the board.
OF those expelled, % are of
the first class, II of tho second
IL of the third, and II of the
fourth class.

ferns and boNwood were principally !
" used in the decorations. The
lettering "All Hail the Power of

to the beauty of the decorations.
The music was one of the principal
features of the day. 1t was ex

Columbia, S c., April S.-The
prohibltipnists drew their first
blood tonight before the State de
mocratic executive committee by
Il resolution being unanimously
adopted that they could run candi-
dates who signed the pledge.
Secretary Lamotte, of the pro-
hibition committee, has officially
asked Chairman Tompllins for
ruling from the committee as to
the construction of the party con
stitution. The request, he said
was prompted by the desire to
have all candidates, representing
their views, to confirm strictly to
all constitutional requirements of
the democratic party and submit
to the result of the primary cleo
ton.
MIR EIird wanted the inquirics
received us information but said
he was ignominiouslv defeated.
All the members went against him
and the following resolution was
unanimously adopted: 'That it is
the sense of this committee that
any democrat however suggested
who complies with the rules of
the democratic party by filing his
pledge in the form required by
the constitution and rules of the
party is entitled to run in the
State democratic primary and to
have the votes cast for him count

The State Democratic Executive

The State Democratic Executive
Committee, by Il unanimous vote, |
has interpreted the constitution
of the party SO as to permit the
votes of nominees Of the prohibi-
tionlStS, or any other faction of
the democracy. to he counted in
the democratic primary election.
According to the strict letter of
the constitution perhaps'thc ruling
Is correct. The prescribed pledge
of the candidate ''that he is not,
nor will he become the candidate
of any faction, either privately or
publicly suggested, other than
the regular democratic nominal
ton, would seem to have re
ference alone to the general cleo
ton, for "thc regular democratic
nomination" is not made until the
result OF the democratic primary
is declared. 1t would seem that
the candidate must 5 m y V
avOw that he is not, nor will
he become the candidate OF
any faction against the regular
democratic nominee in the general
election. While the letter of the
constitution permits this interpre
tation, yet, this was not the sole
intention of the members of the
democratic convention which adj
ded this clause to the constitution.
The use of the word "faction' in
the pledge shows the evident in
tention of the convention to have
been not to recognize any longer
factional nominations inside the
party. fractional divisions had
then we'll nigh disrupted the party.
1t was the belief that this provis-
ion ended forever suggestion con-
ventions, cliques, combinations,
etc., that reunited the democrats.
We regard as unfortunate this
opening the way to prohibition
nominations inside the party.
We say this not that we love
prohibition less but peace and
harmony in the democratic ranks
more. The reins Of our state
government are in the hands of
the democracy. The more peace |!
and harmony in the democratic
ranks the better will be the ad;

Tried To Break Jail.

'"ouo III IulS SeCllOn. AlIeT
long weeks of careful calculation,
Shlewd brain work and patient
toll, Reese made his departure,
and took with him all the prison
ers who desired to 90.
There was another attempt at
Jail breaking last Wednesday af-
ternoon that was as bod AID
brilliant as that of Reese, was
shrewd and calculating; but which
will not figure in the Jail history
ike that of Reese for the reason
that it was not successful.
This time the leader was Hamp
Mobley, the Negro who was sent
up from Leslie for assault of Il
high and aggravated nature and
sentenced to the chaingang for 10
months. In his undertaking he
brought to bear shrcwd ingenuity
along with considerable physical
strcnth.
The prisoners hnd not been
alone rnorc than m hour before
messenger rushed into the court
house snd Informed Deputy
Harshaw that they were breaking
out. Deputy Harshaw hurried to
the jail and found large hole
through the brick wall of the
debtors room,' and from which
the removed of only few more
bricks would have opened the way
to liberty. The prisoners had
heard the deputy coming and had
fled to their cells; hut not yet
aware of this fact, Mr.. Harshaw,
with his revolver in his hand,
shouted to them that he would
kill the first man who showed
himself. Then the deputy sent in
"A discharged prisoner to see how
things were and followed himself.
Investigation showed that Hamp
Mobley, assisted by Monroe
Rawlinson and Demps Massey,
both long termers, had with
piece of board secured from a cot
inside the Jail, priced loose the
fastenings to the heavy iron graf
ing across the inner corridor, and
then, with portion of hinge TO
one of the cell doors, had COM
menced enlarging q hole that had
been cut for the admission of heat
ing pipes. They had not been at
work long; but it is estimated that
within five minutes more, had
they not been discovered, they
would have been at liberty.
John Stewart, Federal prison.
er, has all along been in the con-
tidence of the sheriff. The prison.
ers were aware of this, and his at
tention was engaged in the back
part of the jail. Singing, yelling
and scuffling prisoners in the cor
ridor kept up such a noise that
the operations of MobIcy and his
could not be heard, and
it was Il long time before Stew.
arts suspicions were aroused.
When finally he caught on, he
raised the alarm that the prison
crs were breaking out, and Mrs.
Logan tcIcphoncd the news up
