MUST ENTER AT ONCE.
Beneficiary Scholarships at Clemson
Must be Taken This Fall.

The general assembly in February
last passed an act creating l24 new
scholarships at Clemson college, de-
signed more particularly to aid stu
dents desiring agricultural educations.
Recently President Nell wrote the
State superintendent Of education
asking him to obtain from the at
torney general an opinion on the man.
ner in which the scholarships are to
be given. President Nell does not de-
sire that all Of the student, shall enter
the Institution at once as this would
greatly crowd the facilities.
Attorney General U. Y. Gunter
Jr., Friday rendered his opinion on
the subject. He thinks that all Of tie
ia CADETS must enter Clemson this
fall. BE says:
Your communicative, enclosing a
letter from DR.. P. H. Nell, president
of Clemson college, requesting to be
advised whether under an act APPROX
ed February 25uh, 1904, providing for
beneficiary scholarships in Clemson
college, has been considered.
The trouble, as apprehend it, is
that the act establishes and creates
l24 scholarships, each Of the value Of
sl0O per annum, to continue for four
years, thereby creating a congestion
the first year and every four years
thereafter, which condition it is de-
sired to relieve by appointing an in
stallment this year and another next
year, if such action can be taken legal
ly.
After considering the act am Of
opinion that the whole number, 124,
must be appointed this year. Under
the act that number of scholarships is
created, to be available when the act
becomes effective, from and after July
1St next. There is nothing in the act
permitting reduction in the number
Of scholarships; if one is available all
must be.
Having reached this conclusion
that all the scholarships are available
this year, l am requested to advise
whether the number can be divided be-
tween the freshman and preparatory
classes. l find nothing in the act
limiting admission to any particular
class. 1t is true the act provides that
such scholarship shall continue fol-
the term OF four years, or for such
length Of time as the beneficiary shall
be able to maintain himself and
comply with the rules Of the college.
But l do not think that it can be
reasonably contended that the term
four years is arbitrary, and that a stu
dent can attend for exactly four years.
If a student can complete course in
less time than four years be cannot
for taat reason be denied the benefits
of tie act. That period is the maxi
mum limit for which a scholar car
avail himself Of the benefit Of q
scholarship. Provision is made for ar
annual examination to I'll yacancle;
to meet this contingency.
Some provisions Of the act, such az
the examination feature, may lead t
some confusion, but I am satisfied
that the above is the proper view"

TILLMAN FOR PARKER
He Says Delegation Of This State
Will SUP rt Him.
INTERVIEWED BY A REPORTER.
Says Hearst is Not the Man We
Want. Roosevelt's Record
the Great Issue,
BE Thinks

Senator Benjamin r. Tillman, Of
South Carolina, passed through the
city Wednesday morning with his
family, returning to his home at,
Edgeheld, says the Charlotte Chroni-
Gle of Thursday. On account Of
renewed attack of a throat trouble,
which untitled him for work several
weeks ago, the senator will not return
to Washington during the present
session Of congress.
When approached by the reporter,
in the Pullman where be and his
family occupied section, the senator
was affable and in an unusually pleas
ant mood. He said that be had work
ed hard during the present session,
but now, that there was nothing else
OF much import to transpire during
the remaining two weeks, he thought
that, with his bad throat and a much
needed rest be was entitled to vaca-
tion.
Senator Tillman talked with much
interest about the approaching na-
tional convention, and the chances Of
the different candidates for the presi-
DENTAL nomination.
Senator, what do you think Of the.
action ofthe New York convention in
ousting Tammany?"
Why, they did exactly right.
Hearst is not the man we want. The
people Of this country are tiring Of
the radical turn of mind which isnow
debating the policy Of the govern
ment. The president is an extremist
and is trying to get the country into
all kinds of trouble. A gar with
foreign country would exactly suit his
taste. The people are beginning to
realize that ne is unsafe in his policy
and methods, and that he Is the wrong
man for the high Office he holds. 2,
The money men realize his unsafe
ness and will not support him, Il
the Democrats will nominate good,
safe, level-minded, conservative man,
the people will rush over each other
to support him, and he will be elect
ed. The president cannot stand
against it,"
Senator, believe you are Park
er map," said the reporter. {
Il am& for good, SAFE, level-headt
ed, conservative man, who Is homes
in his policies and broad enough to
carry them out
Jude Parker is all that, is he not2"
Well, I believe he is," said the
Senator with smile.
DO you think New York will cast
her vote for him in the convention?"
''Yes, without a doubt. Tammany
is badly defeated"
The reporter asked Senator Tillman
his opinion as to the sentiment in re-
gard to Parker in his own state and
was told that, although the conven-
tion would not likely instruct the
delegates how to vote, they would, In
all probability, vote as unit for
Parker. Senator Tillman gave it as
his opinion that almost all OF the
Southern votes would be cast for
Parker in the convention.
There is a great national prejudice
against flighty and unsound policy Of
the president, and he viii be over
whelmed if that1 conservative man Is
nominated the senator said in con-
cll1SiOn.

SHOT AS SPIES.
The Russians Make Short Work Of
Two japanese Officers.

Two Japanese Officers.
A dispatch from st. Petersburg says
the emperor has received the following
telegram from General Kuropatkin,
under today's date:
All was quiet on the Yulu on the
18th aud 20th, and there has been nc
charge.
''On the night of the 10Th, opposite
Cape Tower hill, west of kaichju, a
steamer was observed sending of
boats, evidently for the purpose Of
taking soundings. The boats soor
returned"
In another telegram to the emperor
General kuropatkin says:
I respectfully report to your maj
esty that two japanese officers named

arrested near the station Of Turcni'
ilha. In their possession were found
three case Of Byckford fuse, French
wrench, dynamite cartridges, tools

tanning one and a half pounds Of

longing to the japanese army, of op'
Grating against Russia and IN order

stroying or damaging telegraph anc

The Texas Crop.

The census bureau says careful in
quiry regarding the boil weevil has
developed the fact that this insect IS
now in 96 of the 17S cotton pr0duc
ing counties of Texas and destroyed
cotton Of the crop Of 1908 amounting
to 739, 800 bales, which is the differ
ence between an ample and a short
crop for the country. Including the
value of the seed, the loss is eQuiva-
lent to $40, ,272,9S9. A conservative
estimate Of the loss resulting to Texas
from the imperfect weather conditions
which affected that section in com
mon with other cotton States is placed
at 227: :945 bales. The proportion OF
the Texas crop to tae total crop IN
creased from 23.5 per cent IN 1902 TO
D. I per cent. in 1903.

CRIES AROUSE HER DAUGHTER,

|
But in falling dis!odged the towe
and also struck the cradle in which
baby was sleeping. Her cries min
gled with mine and aroused my
daughter in the next room. Virginia
came in, she says, just as her fathe.
scrambled to bis feet, but I was lying
unconscious on the floor.
She asked him what was the mat
ter, and he was explaining that I hac
fallen out Of bed while asleep. HI
held the towel behind his back anc
was still explaining the matter wher
l revived.
I told our daughter that her father
had tried to murder me and asked hel
to call the neighborS. She rushed
next door and awakened the Stevens
family, an also Dr. II. R. Livengood
Mr.. Stevens and Dr. Livengood bur.
ried to the parsonage and confronted
my husband.
Despite my own and the accusations
Of my daughter my husband declared
that he had MT in3ended to hurt me.
He told them that it was simply a
nightmare that I mad had, but when
they saw my bruised face and wrist,
where he had clutched me, he was
silent. DR.. Livengood insisted upon
my daughter and myself spending the
remainder Of the night at the Stevens
House, and We left Dr.. Buckle with
our then sleeping baby at the par
sonage.
RETURNS TO ASK FORGIVENESS.
On returning home the next morn
ing Dr. Buckle had gone, but he came
back in the afternoon and begged me
to forgive him. He even began weep
ing. l told him that I could never
really forgive him, but that if he
would tell the truth to our neigbcrs
that, for the sake of our children, 1
would try and live with him.
he said that he would be discharg-
ed from his pastorate if he told the
truth. Then, as l was firm in my
demand, he left and did not come
back until this, Wednesday, morning.
His hair was dishevelled and he ap-
pared to have been walking about all
night in the street.
He again pleaded with me not to
ruin him, and while I was talking
over the matter with my daughter he
went into his study and took small
iron box. in which he kept his own
and my property, to the value Of
about $40, 900 in securities, cash and
two large life insurance policies. Be-
fore I returned he had left the house.
WIFE 1MPUTEs AT.FJL MOTIVE.
AS for his motive for wishing to
sm other me, l am firmly convinced
that be thought ita good oppc rtunity
to accom- mpliSh bis purpose and hen
explained that it was heart failure,
brought on by the excitement Of the
we lding ceremony.
Only short time ago | .f0olishly
toll my husband that Dr.. Livengood,
our family physician had cautioned
me against taking any violent exer-
else, because of heart trouble. By
smothering me be could easily have
explained that was heart failure that
caused my death.
AS soon as my husband left the
house went to see Judge Mahon,
and l hope they will be able to place
my husband behind the bars. He is
unworthy Of officiating as a pastor
and it is a crime against man and God
for him to do so. Besides attempt
ing to murder me, he has neglected
me and our children in favor Of an
other person, and is in every way a
dangerous and unfaithful father and
husband.

Tuesday formal protest was made
against the law providing for separa-

CONFEDERATE CROSSES.
A Beautiful Sentiment Has Been
Grossly Abused by Mistake.

The Confederate soldier was as
brave, as faithful, as heroic as any
who ever wore the emblem Of the Le-
gion Of Honor or the Victoria Cross,
yet his only decoration is simple
cross Of bronze. Conferred not by a
successful and powerful government,
for the government for which be
fought failed, nor by monarch in
state and ceremony-but conferred
nevertheless by the queen Of the Con-
federacy, the womanhood Of the south.
1t was beautiful conception that
originated with the Daughters Of the
Confederacy, the conferriDg O. this
cross upon the veterans Of whose
faithful service, bravery and courage
there was no doubt. OF course these
emblems Of respect and confidence
lose all value if even one of them is
bestowed upon a man whose record
does not deserve that honor, or if it is
obtained otherwise than through the
properly accredited channels. Yet it
seems that very many Of the crosses
Of honor have been thus secured and
that they are being generally distrib-
uted throughout the country. The
abuse, it appears, is so great that the
Daughters Of the Confederacy have
felt obliged to call attention to it in
the following circular which has been
sent The State for publication:
United Daughters Of the Confederacy,
Office Of the Corresponding Secre-
tary, Martinsburg, W. Va, April
II, 1904.
Dear Sir: The Daughters OF the
Confederacy learn with great regret
that through misapprehension or in
advertance large number Of badges
have been ordered from Schwab & Co.,
Of Milwaukee, manufacturers of the
cross of honor, and used and eistribut-
at the late veterans reunions; these
badges are, in some respects, facsimi-
les Of this crcss Of honor which it has
been their happiness and privilege to
present on stated occasions and con-
ditions to veterans OF the Confederate
army.
AS the free diStri oution Of these
badges has caused confusion and mis-
taken reports, thereby diminishing
greatly any value that may be pos
sessed by the cross of honor, the
Daughters of the Copfederacy now en-
treat the Associations Of Confederate
Veterans to refrain hereafter from
using such badges, and also as much
as possible to collect and destroy the
thousands that have already been dis
tributed.
This request, it will readily be seen,
comes from no spirit Of criticism, but
from the wish to kee pin the hands of
the Daughters Of the Confederacy,
the power to honor BY this little token
of respect and affection all true Con-
federate veterans.
With sentiments OF the highest re-
spects, Very truly yours,
Mrs. VIRGINIA F. MCCHERRY.
Corresponding Secretary.
BY order of the president,
Mrs. AUGUSTINE T. SMYTHE.
It will be seen from this that the
crosses have been bought from the
manufacturers Of the genuine article,
and are in some respects fac Smiles
Of this cross Of honor" Every one
who holds in respect the Confederacy
and it's true heroes will heed the warn
in Of this circular and assist the ..
D. C. in preserving this emblem as a
token Of honor for the veterans who
are entitled to that distinction. Co

TRUSTS a MENACE
To the Republic, Says Judge Cross
cup, Of Chicago.

The supremacy Of ''some political
party with a settled policy regarding
the great corporations Of the country"
has been declared by Judge Peter S
Grosscup to be the means Of escape
from an impending transformation
in the ideals lying at the foundation
OF republican form Of government. p"
Speaking before the Chicago Con-
gregationai Club, the jurist declared
himself friend of the honestly
managed corporation, while deplor-
ing that the individualism of thirty
years ago has been lost in vast merg-
ers of capital
TEE platform Of his proposed new
political party was outlined by the
speaker as follows:
Recognition of the fact that the
corporation is ''here to stay" and
cannot be driven out by mad dog"
policy.
A demand that the capitalization
Of a corporation shall represent its
assets.
Insistence that the great seal OF a
State shall not be employed to sane
tion the existence of institutions
''born bankrupt"
Restrictions on the organization OF
corporations "of Eihel Tower con-
struction,'' Offering ground floor
privileges to.a few stockholders.
The subsection of all corporations
to government supervision.
The dishonest corporation as an
institution of this country will never
be broken up until such policy has
been adopted by courageous, high
minded political party, and no such
party will ever take it up until it is
assured Of favorable public sentl-
ment," said Judge Grosscup.

THREATS OF LYSCuING.

Ugly demonstrations were made be-
fore the home. OF Mine Foreman
Mitchell. Bullets were rained through
the windows and the mob kept shout
ing, Lynch him, I" Burn the house
down." but for some reason no yiol-
ence was attempted there.
The lawleSneSS reached its height
at3o'clock Wednesday morning, when
the torch was applied to the house Of
Jeremiah Myer, who had incurred
enmity by working during the strike
for the Somerset Coal Company
During the rioting earlier in the
night he had remained hidden. He
discovered the flames after they had
been started in several places and the
entire house was ablaze.
SIX BURSED TO DEATH.
Access to the family was cut off
and he and boarder, James Sullivan,
barely had time to escape with their
lives. Myers wife and two children,
his daughter-in-law and her two chill
dren were burned to death.
The tragedy had the effect of some
what ouieting the turbulent mob, but
this was dispelled when the word
went around that Sheriff Coleman, Of
Somerset, and a posse of twenty-five
were on the way to Garrett. Angry
boasts were made that no attention
would be paid to the authorities, but
the mob dispersed atnight before the
posse arrived.
Coroner Louther went to the scene
of the burning Wednesday and en-
panelled a jury, but, after viewing
the bodies of the victims, the inquest
was adjourned indefinitely.
NINE SUES FOR DAMAGES.
Excitement in official circles IN
Somerset County is only trife less
than at Garrett. At the time Super
intendent Frank Black, Of the Gar
rett Mines, made his demand for aid
he fled an action in trespass against
Garrett Borough for sum not in
excess of s25, 900 for damages done his
company's property by the failure Of
the borough authorities to protect it..
The. beginning of the present out
break came last Saturday night, when
a squad of men employed by the Gar
rett company went into the village to
make some purchases. They were
dubbed and beaten and held prisoners
for a time in butcher shop. After
they escap ped all approaches to Garrett
were picketed both by rail and high
way, delivery wagons en- route to the
boarding places OF the non-union men
were turned back, and since then they
have had much difficulty il getting
