CLEMSON COLLEGE DISBANDS.
The Students Go Home on Account OF the
Appearance Of Scarlet Fever.

The Clemson College students all left
for their homes last Monday morning,
tho immediate cause of tho disbantling
OF thecollcgc being the development of
case of scarlet fever in tho hospital.
The young man who has tho disease is
Cadet G. ID. Levy, Of Sumter. 1t has
been known for two weeks that there
were number of cases at Newry. The
authorities at Clemson rcdoublcd their
rigid precautions, and it was thought by
establishing strict quarantine there
would be no danger of getting the dis
case there. DR.. Rcdfearn, the college
surgeon, watched closely every slight
indisposition and had any young man
who was even slightly unwcll to report
to tho hospital. How Mr.. Levy con,
tractod the disease is not known. DR..
Redfearn decided OH Sunday that Mr.
Levy had scarlet fever. DR.. Hardin, a
prominent physician of Washington, D.
o., who is visiting his father, Col. NJ. B.
Hardin, cOncurrcd in this opinion.
What to do was a serious question. II
was thought to be n serious matter tc
disband;a moro serious one not to. Al
most institutions where tho student bod,
is scattered it would not be necessary tc
disband, but whore there are 47G students

Not to disband meant about 500 cases
TO disband meant possibly only one
probably Il dozen. After careful consid
Grafton of the matter, the authorities
decided to give the students leave OF
absence until notified to report for duty
1t was thought best to suspend immctii
atoly because the disease would spread
until it would have been necessary tC
suspend a little later anyway, when thcrt
would be danger of spreading tho fovcl
elsewhere.
Tho corps of cadets was assembled il

Four Children Die OF Neglect.

George Griffin and wife, white, we're
tried last week in Nash county, North
Carolina, for causing the death of Grif-
fins four children by former marriage.
The oldest of the four was barely ton.
Griffin and tho stcp-mothor put the chill.
drcn in an clubhouse sixty feet from
their house and left them there on one
miserable bed with no attention. They
fell ill with dropsy and i'm June ono died.
Tho body lay on the bed beside tho liv.
ing children. All were covered with
bcdsorcs and they and tho bed itself
were alive with maggots.
The evidence was SO horrible as to
sickcn Judge and jury. 1t was in owl
dcncc that tho step mother had said she
would move tho miserable little drtocat-
ing devils out into the clubhouse and lot
| them die.
The grand jury had returned true
bill for murder, but it was decided to
try them for manslaughtcr, as it was
| contcnded for tho defense that on ac-
| count of the poverty of Griffin and his
wife, tho children died as much of dis,
ease as of neglect because he could not
| furnish them with medicine. No mcdi.
| cine was given and no doctor saw them.
When ncighbors, who heard of the
affair, went to th" aid of the children
Griffin made threats Of violence and
drove them away. Tho ncighbors, how
| ever, took away the body of tho first
child who died and buried it after it had
remained some time in bed with tho liv-
| ing. At intervals of about ten days the
other children died and the nophbors
had to take their bodies.
Griffin was given n twelve years sen.
F, cnco to the pcnitcnliary and his wife
six years She got tho shorter term be.
cause shc was no blood relation to the
children.
