CLEmsON's MIS- FORTUNE.
No Further Developments as to the With
drawaI OF the sophomore Class.

Especial to News and Courier.
Anderson, May 1.-Col. R. W.
Simpson, of Pendletoo, chairman OF
the board of trustees ofClemson COL
lege, was here today. He said there
were 10 new developments in regard
to the situation at Clemson, and that
everything was quiet since the Junior
and freshman classes had reeonsid-
cred their determination to leave the
College. All futher trouble has
been averted for the present. Col.
Simpson took occasion to say that
the account of the trouble as sent out
in this correspondence was very ae
curate and fair to both the faculty
and students, and gave a clear un-
derstanding of the situation. Natur-
ally there have been many inquiries
as to the standing of the members OF
the sophomore class who left the COL
lege. Col. Simpson declined to dis
cuss that question at present, but
stated that he would within the next
day or two give out an interview
which would make the whole matter
clear. A. NJ. @.

April Snow.
Rock Hill Herald.

Some persons wish to know when
the big snow of April came. 1t was
Sunday, Apr;l Is, 1871. There had
been five or six weeks of spring
weather. Forest leaves were about
half grown. Field crops and gar
dens were luzurlant. Early lots OF
wheat were beginning to head. The
snow began in this county 7 to 8
o'clock in the morning and fell SIX
to eight hours. Tne general estl-
mate was that it was 8 inch snow.
Next morning there was hard
freeze. All vegetation was killed
The dead peaches made the ground
beneath the trees black when they
fell. It remained cold several days
after the snow. That was before the
davs of weather bureaus and records
of temperature.

A Frank Statement Of
Col. R. ". Simpson.
ON TUESDAY NIGHT CLEMSON : WAS
TOrFERING ON THE BRINK.
Trustees Will Hear Griovances-Troubie
Could Have Been Avoided by Mu-
tual Explanatious-Both Sides
Now Realize Gravity Of Case.
Especial to The State.

Anderson, May 2.-Col. R. W.
Simpson, president of the trustees OF
Clemson college, was in the city
yesterday and as he recent disturb
ance at the college is still a matter
of intense interest this correspon-
dent went to him in his Office and
asked him if be could make any
further statement concerning it.
SIN the first place." said Col.
Simpson, 81 want to say that the
statement sent out by the Anderson
correspondent gave the facts very
clearly aud accurately and | want to
commend the paper for its fairness
and impartiality.
"There is very little difference be-
tween the faculty and the student
body as to what are the facts. The
principal difference is "s to the pun
ishment imposed upon Cadet Thorn
we'll, the class claiming that the
action of the faculty was partial and
too severe. The bylaws give to
every student the right to appeal to
the board of trustees from the ind
ing of the faculty in any case where
the student is dissatisfied. Cadet
Thornwell did not appeal as he had
right to do nor did his class com
plain to the trustees of the action of
the faculty, hence there was nothing
to justify me to call an extra meet
ing of the trustees.
81 am unable to answer your ques-
tions," be continued, ''as to what will
be the probable action of the trus-
tees in regard to reinstatlng the
sophomore class. These young men
were not dismissed from the college,.
They had a right to leave whenever
they saw proper. They exercised
that right and if they now wish to
return they will naturally petition to
that end. Should they see proper
to petition the trustees to receive
him back | have no doubt that the
board will extend to them every con-
sideration that the gravity of the
situation and a due regard to dis
eipline will permit.
Eyes, fully recognize the gravity
of the situation aid it appeared to
me when l left the college Tuesday

friends would even once more hold
in check their resolution not to again
enter our system of primary elections
in order to again vote for me, but l
have reached the point where will
not subject them to subscribing to an
oath to support men and measures
which do not represent their views
upon the issues facing the American
people today.

night that Clemson college was tot
tering on the brink of a terrible mis-
fortune from which it would be I'M
possible to recover for many years.
I was informed that the junior class
would leave on Wednesday or as
soon as possible and that the fresh
man class was to follow soon after.
Happily, however, this action was
avoided and I can safely say that
there will be no further trouble.
These two classes are loyal to Glenn
son and will not take rash or hasty
action calculated to bring reproach
upon the college, but will submit
their grievances to the board Of trus-
tees at it's regular meeting in June
next.
"They readily responded to sd-
vice and counsel when appeared
before them in accordance with their
request for me to meet with them.
1T would not be proper for me- to
express an opinion as to the merits
of the controversy, but this much L
can say now, that both the faculty
and the students realize the gravity
of the situation and may be depended
upon to act with prudence and de-
liberation in the future. I will say
further that in my honest opinion
the trouble now existing originated
from misapprehensions which could
have been avoided by mutual ex-
plantations.
"Clemson college is a new instltu-
tion. As yet it has no past record
to appeal to and both time and ut,
most skill are required to build up a
high toned manly spirit and to man
age 80 large number OF students.
There is no man who has more va
ried and difficult duties to perform
than President Hartzog. If he has
failed to give satisfaction, and this
fact is made to appear, no persua-
sion could induce him to hold for a
day longer the important position
which he now occupies"
Col. Simpson said that the trustees
at their regular meeting in June
would take up the matter and would
take such action as appeared to be
best. The sophomores would be
heard if they desired it, and he said
be hoped they would appear either
as body or by committee and state
their grievances fully so the trustees
would have knowledge of all the
facts. In conclusion, Col. Simpson
repeated hat he has said on every
occasion since the trouble occurred
that he had nothing but sympathy
and the kindliest feeling toward the
sophomores, but that they had made
great mistake and, he had no doubt,
thew realized it. The whole trouble
could have been avoided if they had
heen less hasty and had asked for
counsel and advice before taking the
rash step.

State. The freedom of thought and
action, however, which followed the
"farmers' movement" opened the
doors for every white man and every
negro who voted for Hampton in
1879, and they could advocate what
ever views they cared to express, pro-
vided only that they took an oath to
support the nominees of the primary
election. Men who voted the national
Republican ticket were allowed to
vote in the primary for State and
county officers, and I have heard
from the same platform men claim
ing to be Democrats advocating
Cleveland and the gold standard and
others Weaver and free silver. And
since then no attempt has ever been
made to exclude those who bolted
with the independent Haskell move
ment, the Populist Rowden move
ment or the Republican Pope move
ment.
/ was elected to congress in 1892
after a heated canvass against able
opponents and yet on every stump
in the district, I proclaimed my in
dependence and announced that upon
national questions I would follow
my own judgment and not be bound
by the caucus of any parry. Al
though my Democracy was assailed
at that time, I was elected four times
upon the same declaration of princi-
pies. Carrying out my pledges to
the people, I began a systematic
study of the questions of the day with
the result that I changed my views
upon many of them. The first
marked difference with my party as
sociates arose over the tariff ques,
ton while I was in the house and
member of its ways and means COM
mittees. Again, in 1897, when was
a candidate for the senate, I was
charged with being Republican,
but disregarded the characterize
ton, aud resolutely contended that
the policies which l advocated we're
for the material advancement of the
people, regardless Of how they were
labled.
My attitude was endorsed by 80
per cent. of those voting in the pri-
mary, and I me to the senate.
The issues growing out Of the
Spanish war widened the breach be
tween myself and the Democratic
party leaders for l could only fol-
low the dictates of my conscience
aud stand By American soldiers
fighting upon q foreign soil. At
that time the war was not a party
question and I hoped it would not
