Rock HILL, June 25.-"We came, We
Saw, We conquered" The old Roman
saying Is peculiarly appropriate to the
presence Of the cadets among us. They
are in evidence everywhere-at enter
tainments, socials, balls-their accept
able appearance Is enthusiastically
welcomed. And deservedly so. A
more .gentlemanly appearing or more
gentlemanly behaved set Of young men
is rarely met with. They are an honor
to the state and the "old Citadel" !"
That their visit Is mutually enjoyable
to themselves and to the citizens goes
without saying. The weather, so far,
has been perfectly charming, and
while the duties Of camp life have
been vigorously enforced, yet sufficient
opportunities for pleasure has been af-
forded them to make their visit most
enjoyable one. It has given our peo-
pie pleasant occupations, as witness
the throngs that wend their way camp
wards, every evening.
The monotony Of camp life was d.
verted by trial march" to the works
of the Catawba Power company last
Tuesday. The genial manager, Mr..
marry Wylle, was Oll ldllu " iChoSh
every assistance and 1t Is needless to
state that this part in their programme
was thoroughly enjoyed.
On Tuesday night the second COM
plimentary ball was given the cadets.
Their excellent orchestra furnished the
music. Friedheim's hall was simply
packed. That tripping the light fan
tastic" is as popular as ever in Rock
Hill was clearly demonstrated, as over
ninety couples occupied the floor and
the spectators were there in such force
as literally to cause Jam" York
vile was we'll represented by its young
people, while the neighboring cities
supplied their quota. Rock Hills rep
utation for unstinted generosity is get
ting to be proverbial, but she has no
bly, lived up to it in the last few days.
The cadets commencement will be-
gin next Monday, with the baccalau-
reate sermon by the Rev. F. w. Gregg,
'94, at the Presbyterion church. On
Tuesday, General McCreary, Of Char
lesion, will deliver the address to the
graduates at the Winthrop college au-
ditorium. A large number Of the
alumnae is expected.
Yorkville's generous request for a
visit from the cadets, Colonel Coward
was reluctantly compelled to decline on
account of the pressure Of duties.
What looked at one time, as an ugly
affair, was averted by the prompt
measures of the Highland Park mill
authorities. Several of the hands, 1t
appears, asked for an increase Of wag-
es, and being refused, apparently quit
ted work. Mr.. j. K. Collins was told
by Superintendent ]. T. McNeel that
they would be paid at the regular pay
day. Mr.. Collins was requested to
leave the premises, but persisting, he
was arrested and tried before Mayor
Hull for disorderly conduct but was
discharged on the ground Of insuffici-
ent evidence. Later he was arrested
on a warrant for trespass but Magis-
trate Beckham held there was not suf-
ficient evidence to prove the charge.
AS July 4th this year falls on a Sat
urday, it was decided at a meeting Of
the city merchants held at the Com
