REPLY FROM PARSONS
In the course Of long reply 10 this letter John
y Parsons General Master Workman Of the
Knights Of Labor. said Yesterday
As 10 Mr. Vreeland's assertion that the company
has not received any demand regarding the status
for the reason that the management has Insisted
when presented by the employees themselves and
which 10 them. they well knew. meant Immediate
the last paragraph in Mr. vreeand's letter fully
verifes the opinion as to what dismissal meant.
The attempt to cloak the reasons for such dis
missa under the broad title Of unsatisfactory
vice violation Of the rules Of the company
shows plainly the position Of the management in its
trea tment Of the men.
Mr.. Parsons added that the Board Of Arbitration
had advised him 20 have committee OF employees
appointed and wait upon the management Of the
company and present their grievances. after which
the Board would hold itself in readiness 10 aid the
men In any manner possible. This advice has been
accepted. and committee will wait upon the OFF,
cials OF the company time this week.

Congressman Clark of Missouri, in
trodnced bill in the House Monday
providing that no person living in or

The Edmunds law, passed several

nor could it abrogate existing mar

been contrary to the Constitution.
Since the election to Congress of Rob-

BROKE HIS ANKLE.
L. j. Evans has hard fall on Sunday
and breaks his ankle.

e. J. Evans, Jr. broke his ankle in
several places on Wiles Hill on Sunday.
He was going down the road when his
foot turned on a clod and the whole
weight went on the ankle breaking 1t
badly. The accident occurred in front
of his residence and he was taken in
and DR.. Gibbons summoned. The
latter dressed the injury and Mr..
Evans is doing as well as could be ex-
pected.
One thing that makes the break
more serious than it otherwise would
have been is the fact that the ankle
has been broken before and it was
naturally weak.

DELEGATE GRANT
Makes some remarks about the
Legislature.


Thinks there will be no trouble about
the University Appropriation = His
ssill was Simply to Arrange Matters
so the Treasurer and Secretary should
Receive Compensation for their SER
vices = He also says Kidd has
wholesome Majority and will be
Seated.
Delegate Grant who came home to
spend Sunday has gone back t.
Charleston to help make the laws of
the state for the next two years.
While at home he had to tell great
many of the things in connection
with the present session that cannot
be obtained from the newspapers.
He thinks very highly of the Demo
cratic membership of the legislature
and says that the leaders of that
party are superior to those present
ed for long time.
The bill which he presented in
reference to the board Of regents Of
the University was to enable them
to pay the treasurer and secretary
OF the board for their work. At
preseno the treasurer has to handle
more than one hundred thousand
dollars a year and give a bond for
forty thousand without one cent of
compensation. This state Of affairs
should be remedied and the bill has
been introduced TO that effect.
Another bill is in relation to the
destruction OF noxious weeds and it
will be changed and amended to
meet all the objections of those who
are kicking and will likely pass be-
fore the close Of the present session.
1t will probably leave the matter OF
enforcement of the law to the differ
ent counties and elections which
will be ordered by the county courts
after petitions to that effect have
been received from bona iide farmers
OF the county.
Mr.. Grant was asked about the
threatened failure to make proper
appropriations for the University.
He stated that he thought that IL
would amount to nothing as there
were too many plain reasons why il
should be made and the members
were@@all amenable to reason. He
had no fears whatever on that score.
The further reason for not giving
them that Of Kidd and his unseating
was to be done away with as the
program as outlined when he left
Charleston was to seat
Kidd as he had whole
some majority and the recount had
not changed it except to make it
larger.
The session has been a very inter
esting one so far and it will not lose it's
interest from now until it's close. Mr..
GIANT may be expected as he has
already done to take very promi
nent part in the work of the session
and to have great deal of influence
with the other members of the house
and senate.

Sketch of the Man.
On Sunday the news was received
here that William G.. Clemens who
had been forced to leave school but a
few days before on account OF illness
had died at his home in Harrison
county. He had taken the fever and
had gone home at once. The trip
was very hard one and he had to go
some distance from the railroad.
However he had gotten better for sew
eral days but on Saturday night took
turn for the worse and in two hours
was dead having had some heart COM
plicatiOn.
Clemens was a member of the
Kappa Alpha fraternity. The chap
ter here sent Messrs. P. E. Green, j..
E. Law, t. N. Frum and, G. f. Smith
to represent them at the funeral which
took place on Monday at eleven

ute of twelve white roses. The Col
umbian Literary Society 'of which he
was member and was president at
the time of his death sent a dozen

Mr.. Clemens had taken quite a
prominent place in college. He was a
leading member Of the Y. M. G. A.
and was sent as q delegate to the
Mortified Mass, convention Of that

today all hands agreed that she was
being beautifully handled and that she
would be able to hold her own, and so
it appeared from the Erin's deck until
suddenly the topmast snapped. At this
time a hundred glasses were leveled on
the racers from the Erin's deck, until
suddenly some one shouted, The
Shamrock's in trouble; look at her top

there came cries of CONSERVATION and
dismay from all parts of the Erin as it
became apparent that the mishap was

expressed sympathy. Sir Thomas re-
piled: Its too had, that's true, but it

to know" A dozen voices shouted
back a negative reply and Sir Thomas
looked relieved. 1T does not matter so
much,'' he said, "now that we know no
one was killed or crippled When
asked if he blamed any one for the ac-
cident, he replied: ''Oh, no, indeed; it

Sir Thomas emphaticaIly. Under the
conditions governing the contest we
have lost this race as fairly as if we
had gone over the course without a
