That Clemson Drunk.
Keowee Courier: Mr.. John S. Good
man, of Clemson College, was in'Wal-
halla today. and in speaking of the re-
Gently published reports concerning the
bad behavior Of the students at Glenn
son college, says they are terribly ex-
asgerated. The report concerning the
recent general drunk indulged in by
the boys and the purchase Of $l79 worth
of liquors, is false to the core. 1t is, he
says, a report started by some one or
two boys in the institution who had
personal motives for so doing.
Monument to DIR. Grier.
Due West special of Wednesday, to
Columbia State: The trustees of Frs
kline college today decided to erect
monument in memory Of the late Rev.
w. M. Grier, D. D., for many years the
president of Erskine college, the most
honored gift which could be bestowed
upon him by the Associate Reformed
Presbyterian synod. The memorial will
be in the nature of monument. Some
had advised that Y. NJ. G. A. hall he
erected in DR.. Grier's honor, but others
wanted to preserve in enduring stone
the features Of the distinguished pa
triot-preacher, whose name was revered
throughout the south. There will be
marble shaft of 10 feet, :>Qmounted by
q life-size statute of Dr. Grier, in
standing attitude. The characteristics
of DR.. Grier will be observed and pre-
served very carefully; even his walk
ing cane will be representative lost a
leg in the Confederate service and
walked with the support Of a cane. DR..
Grier was the president Of Erskine COL
lege when he died. Many times was he
approached with flattering offers. He
could have been president Of state COL
leges with rich revenues. but he pre-
ferred to give his life to Erskine.
SenkattOn In Spurt0nDurSs
Spartanburg special of June IL: Last
night, at 10 o'clock, party OF 10 or
more men went to the residence of j.
G. Perry, on Brawley street, and find
ing him at home took the man to Aus
tin Grove, a mile from the city, and ad-
ministered a severe castigation on his
bare back with leather straps in the
hands Of % Of the crowd. Only the
GOODNESS of a few men prevented Il
lynching, as the men were determined
upon a mode of punishment commen-
surate with his guilt. Officers overlook
the crowd and rescued the man from
the hands Of the mob, but not until he
had been beaten almost into insensibili-
ty. and placed him on the train bound
towards Atlanta. 1t is safe to assume
that Perry will never return If he val
ues his health. The affair Of last night
is the result Of the conduct of Perry
towards little girls passing on the way
from school, who stopped in his place
of business daily, attracting attention
and suspicion. Several days ago Il gen.
tleman conducting candy factory, in
yestigated the matter and his worst
fears were confirmed. Doubt passing
into certainty the citizens determined
the man should be punished and the
affair of last night was the result. Per-
nv is a married man of family, about 40
years old, comfortably fixed in this

est sensation that ever occurred in this
city. especially as the girls in question
are the daughters of we'll known citi-
