given the distinction of being the only

exception of that on old Liberty hall, in
Philadelphia, that has rung in three
centuries. Old st. Johns bell has an

ADDITION TO
HAz|NC LORE
RECENT CADET RELATES HIS
EXPERIENCE.
SIGHT is BADLY INJURED
Resigns Because of Impaired
Health Caused by Treat
ment Received.
SIGHT IS BADLY INJURED

Boston, March 9-Another victim
of hazing at West Point has come to
light here through the resignation of
Frederick Kensel as cadet at the
United States military academy.
Kensel will return at once to his home,
West Somerville, one of the suburbs
Of Boston.
The reason given principally for
Kensal's resignation is failing eye
sight, but from the family the real
reason has been learned.
Kensel entered West Point June IS,
Of last year. EARLY in July he was in
the hospital, on of trouble
with his eyes. It was not the season
Of study at West Point and he v
had difficulty with his eyes prior to
entering the academy. The statement
made by the family is that while
standing on his head in a dent, which
was the rule for 'tplebes," whenever
an upper class nan entered, Kensel
was kicked in the right eye, possibly
accidentally, by an upper class man
and was sent to the hospital. Kensel
was not seriously hurt, and was able
to leave the hospital in a few days.
Soon afterwards while attempting
to swallow a te%aspoonful of tobasco
sauce, another dedicate little pleas
antry," he choked and it spilled over
his handkerchief. He was blindfolded
with the same handkerchief after
wards and the sauce got into his eyes.
This compelled him to return again to
the hospital, on account of trouble
with his eyes. About August 10 he
was taken off the sick list and was SO
far recovered that he could resume
his regular duties. Three days later
he was again in the hospital as the re-
port shows, with Stomach trouble -
This is what happened TO him, ac-
cording to his W story:
He was compelled to eat a great
quantity OF rice, a couple of boiled
cabbages, 63 prunes, and was also COM
PEELED to do $50 "eagles." This drove
him into commissions, and a pillow or
blanket was placed over his face so
that his cries could not be heard. AS
a result of this treatment the family
believe the physical condition of Ken
sci has been much impaired. On ac-
count of his physical condition and the
trouble with his eyes, which necessi-
tated an operation he was not able to
do has full duty in the academy and
had to resign.
Kensel was appointed by Congress
man Mccall in 1899. He was born
in South Carolina October 4, 1877.
He is a son of the late Colonel Kensel,
an old army officer, who graduated
from West Point.

ALONG OTHER LINES
Anti-Noyes People Make Much
of Attorney Generals
Report.

Washington, March 8-The anti
Noyes people in Washington are
making much of the report of the at
torney general on the expenses OF
Judge Noyes' district in Alaska, which
was called for in the Stewart resolu-
tion early, in February. Special stress
is laid on Judge Noyes' Pullman car
fare from Minneapolis to Seattle with
hack hire and subsistence while en-
route to Nome. Othere items to which
they point as extravagant are for the
funeral of one Michael Smith at
Nome, a%ggregating $50; reporter work
for the court, $54; underwear for
prisoners in Jail, 1913.
The attorney general states that all
the accounts have been submitted to
the auditor and they have not been
passed upon by that official. The only
item to which the department. has
taken exception is that for Pullman
fare and subsistence, and the judge has
been asked to explain his authority for
charging these expenses to the govern
ment.
Judge Noyes' friends in Washing
ton, who have carefully examined the
report, say there is not an o~vercharge
in any one item. High prices prevail
at Nome for all articles, necessaries
and Injuries alike, they say. Yet
some items appear to be cheaper, for
instance, the Smith funeral for $50.
They are quietly laughing at the anti
Noyes people who failed to get any
sensational material from the official
reports transmitted by the attorney
general.

WILLS POINT VISITED BY
TERRIFIC STORM.
MANY KILLED and INJURED
Cyclone Destroys Part Of Town
and Does Great Damage
Elsewhere.

Wills Point, Tex, March "a cy-
clone passed through the west side of
this place at II O'Clock this morning,
demolishing everything in it's track.
-Four persons are dead and about 20
injured. Fourteen dwelling houses
were entirely ruined and a number of
others are badly wrecked.
The public school building is a total
wreck. The cotton oil mill is dam
aged and the largest gin plant is in
ruins. Wires wers blown down and
poles and fences levelled. A freight
Car was blown off the track.
The dead are, two children of j. H.
Clouse and one each of j. W. Williams
and Mr.. Powell.
Injured: Mrs. J. N. Polk and three
children; Rev. j. H. Clouse, wife and
child; J. N. Human, D. M. George,
Mrs. j. M. Williams and one child; B.
F.. Walers and wife; J.. F. Bass and
baby; Mrs. E. B. Graham, child and
brother; child of E. Gray. Several
are expected to die.
The property loss is about $50. 900
which is a conservative estimate.
Black clouds had been hanging in
the southwest all morning. The at
mosphere was heavy and at intervals
there had been clustering showers Of
rain. Shortly before moor there was a
long roar OF rumbling thunder, a puff
of wind and then the air was thick
with flying timbers.
The cyclone came from the south
west and held to a straight northeast
course. Its path was about 800 yards
wide. 1t struck the northwest quarter
of the town, in the residence section.
No house is left whole, those that are
repairably ruined being in the min
GRITTY. Most of them are demolished,
mere heaps of debris that offer oppor-
tunity for the junk man
Household furniture and utensils are
strewn farther than the eye can reach
and they mark the storms path.
