Cadets Taea Exception
At TllIman'S Speech
Because He Defends President
ti"rtzog and Charges Students
With lngentlcmanly Conduct
Toward Him.
Special to The State.

GreenvIllc, June T. The news
from Clemson college this morn,
ing is not so pacific in lis charact-
,r as might be expected from the
statement of the trustees in refus
ing to accept the resignation of
President Hartzog. 1t appears
from representations made by
students passing through Green
vile today that Senator Tillman
make red hot speech to the stud
ent corps yesterday, to which they
took exception and manifested
their displeasuro In II most effect
i've manner. He scored the stud
ents for their lnsubordination on
former occasion, but condemned
very roundly the suspension of
young Thornwell, saying quite
ugly things about the majority of
the faculty In affixing such a Sc
we're punishment for a trivial of
ence, by which they branded him
with the word "thief" across his
forehead. Tillman's defence of
President Hartzog was very vigo-
rous aud outspoken, and he charg-
ed the students with ungentIe-
manly conduct towards the presl-
dent, which caused them at once
to begin shuffling their feet on the
floor as an indication of their dis
sent from his remarks upon their
conduct. One of the boys said that
this w meant to express their
contempt for Tll,man, and was
equivalent to his being hissed.
The cadets were not under mil
itary control at the time, or else
=
numerous arrests would have en-
sued, but they had been requested
to assemble in the chapel and felt
that they were insulted by the re-
marks of Senator $Tillman. The
lack of discipline in the last few
days has caused much disorder
among the cadets, and some of
them were under the influnce of
liquor at night, when they would
carouse at their pleasure in the
barracks. This is the testimony of
boys who were not engaging in
disorderly conduct, and some of
them left the college this morning
who expected to stay longer, but
they wished to avoid further an
noy~nce from drunken boys at
night, who would visit their rooms
after midnight and make hid eous
noises in the Railways in order to
prevent others from sleeping. One
of the cadets SAID that Tillman call
ed them "brutes' when the de-
was made as an offset
to his remarks.

Criminal Court
In Florence Sunday
Trial OF Smith and Dennis Chau
cd With Arson. lntense Ia
tereSt Manifested
Special to The State.

Norcuce, Juue S. For the
ti,s! time IN the history of Flor
ence county, court has remained in
session all day Sunday hearing
the Smith and Dennis case, and
the novel but cc-sary proceed
ing has bccn talked about 10 lit .
lie. Though the heat in the
court room was intense enough to
wilt rubber collar there were no
vacant seats and the crowd re-
mained until the Jury filed into
their room late tonight.
The last witness s for the defense
Mr.. w. +. Dennis, testified be-
fore the dinner recess and this
afternoon was taken up with the
arguments. Solicitor johnson
opened for the State and was fol-
lowed by Mr.. Rhame for the de-
fence. Then came Mr.. Ragsdale
for the defence and lastly Solicitor
Wilson. MIR. Kershaw for the
State did not address the Jury
Splendid efforts were made on
both sides and every bit of the
voluminous evidence was carefully
sifted. MIR. RagsdaIe was eloquent.
There is much speculation as to
the verdict. Many think mis-:
trial will result, while others look
for an acquittal. Very few seem
to expect verdict of guilty.
