AMOS OWENS.

The Charlotte Observer, Of Thurs
day, has the following about pamph-
let which appeared recently and which
"a possessed of more or less local inter-
est:
The Observer Is indebted to its orig
inal correspondent, Corn Cracker" OF
Polkyille. Cleveland county, for his
"History of the Life of Amos Owens,
the noted blockader Of Cherry Noun
tain" Amos is a character who Is
known far and wide. He Is an invete-
rate blockader, who has been to the
Federal penitentiaries three or four
times for his sins, and was the prob
lem Of the life Of the late Judge DICK
before whom he was regular DEFEND
ant, and who wept over the old man.
demonstrated with him, and used all
his arts to break him Of his habit OF
moonshining, but without effect. They
were fond of each other, Amos and the
Judge. The judge deplored the infirm-
ity Of Amos and Amos bore no malice
toward the judge for sending him up,
but felt, when the good man died, that
he had lost friend, as Indeed he had
Corn Crackers" history purports to
be, and doubtless Is, an absolutely ac-
of Amos, with his ante-bellum beaver
set on the back Of his .head, and Is as
interesting as a novel; The pamphlet
is published by the Cleveland Star, OF
Shelby, and copies Of 1t may be hae
of it or Of Prof. M. L. White, Of Polk
willie.
A copy Of the pamphlet referred to
was left at The ENQUIRER office re-
Gently by Mr.. w. s. Gordon, Of Fodder.
It Is possessed Of certain interest
that fully warrants the time necessary
for its perusal, and a reading Of 1t Is
calculated to leave the impression that
Amos Owen is not bad kind Of man
at heart. This is true. Among the
incidents related in the book Is one
with which many people Of Yorkville
are familiar.
Some ten or twelve years ago, Amos
Owens was confined In the Yorkville
Jail to serve a sentence for violating
the United States internal revenue
laws. The late r. H. Glenn was sher-
If at the time. During the term of
Owens incarceration, some desperate
Negroes sought to secure their escape
by killing the sheriff, and had it not
been for the interference Of Owens at
the imminent risk Of his life, they
would have probably succeeded. At
ter a desperate fight, however, with
the assistance Of Owens and another
white revenue prisoner, the sheriff sue
ceeded in overpowering his assailants
and preventing the general Jail deliv-
cry that would have otherwise taken
place.

REBELLION AT CLEMSON.
Bitter Quarrel Between the Faculty
and the Students.

Trouble and friction that has been
brewing between the faculty and stu
dents of Clemson college during seve-
raj years past, eliminated last Tues
day in the voluntary severance Of the
connection Of SO of the "a members Of
the sophomore class with that institu-
ton. The students quit the college in
body, and they claim that they do
not propose to go back until the fac
ulty either makes acceptable apologies
or steps down and out.
Just how and where the trouble orig
mated cannot be definitely ascertain
ed. The outsider would be able to ar
rive at judicial view of the facts on
| ly after a careful hearing Of lengthy
and involved statements on both sides.
The faculty thinks the students are
wrong and the students think the fac
ulty is wrong. 1t Is a fact, however,
that the conflict is sharply drawn and
there is but little confusion of convic-
tions on the respective sides. The fac
ulty stands as a unit on the one hand,
and the students stand practically as
unit on the other. The final out
come seems to be matter for future
development.
The occasion Of the present trouble
was a virtual charge of theft brought
| by one of the members Of the faculty
against Cadet E. A. Thornwell. of Fort
Mill. There had for a long time been
an unobserved rule against the taking
by the students. for their own use or
otherwise. class-work supplies without
first asking permission. One day last
week, Cadet Thornwell took from the
place where they were kent. four glass
test tubes. There was no stealth in
| the act. The professor and fellow
classmen were present. Neither was
the circumstance an occasion for COM
ment at the time. All the students
had been accustomed to doing just the
same thing whenever they saw proper
| to do so. From such statements as
have been made since, 1t is quite prob
same thing within the same hour. The
value of the test tubes was not a con-
sideration, of course; because it
amounted, at most. to only few cents.
For some reason, the professor in
charge determined to makes an exam
pie of Cadet Thornwell and reported
him to the faculty. The faculty char
acterized Cadet Thornwells act as
theft" and after due consideration,
decided that the penalty should be sus-
pension for the balance of the term,
whereupon Cadet Thornwell left for
his home.
But this did not settle the matter.
Taking into consideration all the facts,
the members of the sophomore class
not only concluded that Cadet Thorn
well ha<been punished with unneces-
sary severity; but that, as a matter of
fact, the action of the faculty was as
much a reflection on each and every
other member Of the class as it was
upon Cadet Thornwell. Accordingly
there was unanimous request on the
part of the members of the class that
the faculty review the whole matter

81 Sam Moy, who died in Milwaukee
recently, was one of the most noted
Cinnamon in America, and his death
will be felt by Chinese throughout the
United States as a serious loss. For
years Sam Moy was engaged in the tea

a large fortune, estimated from one to
four millions of dollars. He was gen.
erous and is said to have done more
for his race than any other Chinaman
in this country. He was we'll educated
as a youth when he came to America
and he always kept in touch with pub

convention is going to do about the Nc
Laurin problem cannot be predicted
with any certainty; but in our view, If
it undertakes to change the primary
been all along, 1t will make a mistake.
AS is we'll remembered, Senator Nc
tLaurin was charged with being Re-
publican in his first race for the SEN
ate. He denied the charge and he got
majority Of the votes. The people
decided the matter in accordance with
their own wishes. These charges have
been kept up ever since. Senator Nc
Laurin still denies their truth and
maintains that he is a Democrat.
There seems to be more reason why
the people should be allowed to pass
upon the matter now than there was
four years ago. If they were capable
of intelligent action then, they certain
ly ought to be now. A few individuals
such as control conventions, have no
more right to speak for them now than
than they had then. AS a matter OF
fact the people-the Democratic voters
are as much on trial as is Senator
McLaurin, and ought to be permitted
to elect him or turn him down just
as they prefer. While we recognize
that Senator McLaurin can easily fail
of election this year; that the task be-
fore him may prove too great for a
man of even much superior ability,
still our ideas of fair play suggest that
he be allowed to confront the people.
give an account of his stewardship,
and take such judgment as may be
meted out to him-condemnation or
vindication.
