A Jefferson Davis Day.
Honorable John J. Mem;

Honorable John J. McMa-
han, the aggressive and pro-
gressive State Superintendent
of Education, is urging the
teachers of South Carolina to
set apart one day at the close
of their school to be known
as Jefferson Davis day. This
is a good suggestion While
the thousands of children are
studying in a general way the
history of our country it is
proper and appropriate that at
stated times these facts and
figures of history be brought
home to them, thereby engen
dering a patriotic sentiment
in their breasts. The heroism,
deeds of valor and achieve
ments of their fathers in the
Civil war and the sacrifices
and loyalty of the fair women
of the Southland during that
bloody struggle should not be
forgotten by them. All OF
the schools in the county
should have a Jefferson Davis
day. A program has been
prepared by Miss Withers,
the assistant to the State Su-
perintendent. If you will
write to the county superin-
lteedent he will procure these
programs for you.

The Aiken Journal and
Review remarks that Edge
field men have an inherited
dove for office. Grant it, con-
temporary, but we aver that,
being worthy sons of noble
sires, they have, along with
this penchant for office, also
inherited those qualities which
win for them the lanrels of
vic .ory. The victories of
Edgefield men are SO numer-
Gus as to become common
place, the outside world only
takes notice of their defeat.

THE CLE.MSON TROUBLE.

Sixty-nine OF the Sopho-
more class of Clemson college
have deserted in a body, only
five members of the class re-
naming. The reason they
give for this action is that the
president and faculty disci-
plined too severely Cadet
Thornwell, of Fort Mill, by
suspending him for the re-
mainder of the session for
taking four glass tubes from
the laboratory after notice
had been given that the next
cadet who was guilty of this
offense would be ''severely
dealt with" The class Pc
titioned the president to rein
state Cadet Thornwell which,
of course, he declined to do
and they thereupon shook the
dust from their feet and left.
The truth of the matter is
there has been for some time
friction between the corps and
some members of the faculty
and this is only a elimination
of the trouble: The moral
tone and standard of the col
lege has never been high and
matters have been drifting
from bad to worse. This
misfortune or blow will be
overruled for good by purg-
ing the institution of an in
subordinate element, and i'm
pressing those who remain
with the fact that author
ity must be respected ana
obeyed.
A young man on entering
college and especially one in
which military discipline OBJ
tains should make up his
mind to conform to the rules
or regulations or stay a. home.
That military discipline is
rigid and the yoke CALLING at
times is true, but it will make
a man of almost any lad.
Military law knows no con-
cession; violation calls for
punishment. A 'strike'' in
a military school cannot be
arbitrated. The crying need
today of many a college is
that the student body be m ade
to understand that 1t must
conform to the rules and reg
ulations of the institution and
that the standard of the insti
tuition will not be made to
conform to the will of the
student body.
Since writing the ahsye the
factssae asqsE e ala tAaai II seiy esiaesht
ent color to the whole affair.
AS a matter of fact Cadet
Thornwell did not take the
tubes from the laborato y as
above stated, but only carried
them from the professors
desk to his own. There seems
to be no doubt that President
Hartzog and the faculty erred
by inAicting punishment more
severe than the ofense war
ranted.
The Board of Trustees will
investigate the whole affair
thoroughly at an early date,
then the facts will be correct

land, but it was well filled with pleasing
incidents.
The prince breakfasted early and about
10 o'clock began to receive official fare
well visitors, including representatives of
Germany in this country and those Of
the United States government. Mayor
Low, of New York was also a caller and
the prince in bidding him farewell gave
a hint that he had some intention of
returning 10 America for a second visit
The prince, in reply to the mayors ex-
pressions said: 81 thank the citizens of
New York for all their kindness to me,
which 1 appreciate deeply. If l should
return to America I should feel when l
reached New York that was once more
at home"

ONER IN POLICE COURT.

LONDON, March u.-Lady Christiana
Sykes, whose domestic difficulties have
caused notoriety, was arrested on the

ing intoxicated. She was arraigned at the
Bow street police court this morning, but

advertised that he could no longer be re-
sponsible for her debts. Since that time
Lady Sykes has been several times in
court on charges Of financial irregulari-
ties. Last year she and Sir Tatton agreed
to a friendly separation, her ladyship
being given a yearly allowance Of $500.

PLANS DEATH PENALTY
HOUSE COMMITTEE REPORTS sE-
WE'RE BILL ON TRAIN ROBBERY.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE house
committee on judiciary today directed re-
ports on two important bills, one for the
suppression of train robberies and to de-
fine 'conspiracies'' so as to limit the is
suance of injunctions in labor contro-
Versies. The train robbery bill was
amended so that any person who OBJ
structs, derails or commits an assault
upon any railroad train or its passengers
with intent to commit robbery, murder,
or other crime, shall be punishable with
death, if the death of any person on the
train is effected and with Imprisonment
from five to ten years if no death is ef-
fected.
The injunction bill provides that no
agreement between persons to do or not
to do any act in furtherance of any trade
dispute between employers and employees
shall be deemed criminal, nor shall such
persons be indictable for conspiracy, nor
shall such agreement be considered in re-
Straint of trade, nor shall any restraining
order or injunction be issued in relation
thereto.

CHICAGO, March 11.-Commissioner of

dren should be taught better manners
with reference to the care of their
mouths and noses. He has sent the fol-
lowing advice to the public school teach
ers:
Teach the children not to spit 1t is
rarely necessary. To spit on a slate,
floor or sidewalk is an abomination.
mot to put the fingers in the mouth.
mot to pick the nose.
Not to wet the fingers with saliva in
turning the leaves of books.
Not to put pencils into the mouth or
moisten them with the lips.
mot to put money into the mouth.
Not to put anything in the mouth ex-
cept food, drink and the tooth brush.
Teach the children to wash hands and
face often. See that they keep them
clean.
Teach the children to turn the face
aside when coughing and sneezing if they
are facing another person.

VETO REBUFFS SENATE
PRESIDENTS FIRST NEGATIVE AC-
TION AFFECTS DES-&TER
He Declines to Be Influenced by
Testimony That Led to Taking
Shame From Name of
Young Sailor.

WASHINGTON, March 11.-President
Roosevelt today sent his first veto mes
sage to congress. 1t was directed to the
senate, and the bill vetoed was on re-
moving the charge of deserton from the
naval record of John Glass. The message
was as follows:
There can be no graver crime than
the crime of desertion from the army or
navy, especially during war; 1t is then
high treason to the nation, and is justly
punishable by death. No man should be
relieved from such a crime especially
when nearly forty years have passed since
it occurred, save on the clearest possi-
BILE proof of his real innocence. In this
case the statement made by the affiant
before the committee does not in all points
agree with the statement made to the
secretary of the navy. In any event, it
is incomprehensible to me that he should
not have made effective efforts to get
back into the navy.
''He had served but little more than
month when he deserted and the war
lasted for over year afterwards. vet
he made no effort whatever to get back
into the war. Under such circumstances
it seems to me that to remove the charge
of desertion from the navy and give him
an honorable discharge would be to fall
sify the records and do an injustice to
the gallant and worthy comrades who
Nou6HC Ihe war TO d lluSn. Ihe names
OF the veterans who fought in the Civil
war make the honor list of the repuo-
lie, and I am not willing to put upon
1T the name of a man unworthy of the
high position Theodore Roosevelt"
After the message had been delivered
Senator Gallinger, from the committee on
naval affairs, read the report of the COM
mittee on which the senate acted From
that statement it appeared that Glass en-
listed in January, 1864, when only sixteen
years old, and that having witnessed an
act which compromised the second officer
of the ship, he was taken ashore in March
of that year by that officer and told
not to report again for duty. The com
mittee say that this order, together with
Glass youth, was responsible for his de-
Sertion.

TO DEFEND MERCER
NORTHERN SECURITIES COMPANY
SECURES NOTABLE COUNSEL
FOR LEGAL BATTLE
DENIES VIOLATION OF LAW
Testimony to BE Submitted to Show
That Company Does Not
Control Competing
Lines.

NEW YORK, March 11-Lawyers rep
resenting the Northern Securities COM
pany are preparing an answer to the bill
Of equity filed in the United States cir
cult court for the district of Minnesota,
to test the validity Of the merger.
The lawyers retained are William 2.
Clough, William Nelson Cromwell and
Francis Lynde Stetson, and the case will
be argued by ex-Attorney General John
w. Griggs.
1t is said that the answer will be that
the Northern Securities company owns
not more than 40 per cent Of the Great
Northern stock or less than a controIl-
ing interest. while it owns 9S per cent Of
the Northern Pacific stock.
The lawyers for the defense hold that
there is no control of competing lines.
and that therefore there is no violation
of the antitrust law.
