A Sensational Incident.

An occurrence at Clemson College
of unusual and sensational interest is
thus described by an eye witness
There has just been erected at the
college a flag-pole, eighty-six feet
high. Recently one of the boys took
up collection and had flag, four
teen by twenty one feet, of the Stars
and Bars made, and the afternoon
of March IL at $50, while the college
band played "Dixie" and amid the
cheers of the uncovered FIVE hundred
Clemson boys, the flag of the Confed-
eracy was raised. 1t was lowered
after dark and the companies
marched to the pole from reveille
this morning, and again the flag was
raised amid the cheers of the
Clemson corps.
, 1t stayed until 8 o'clock, when the
commandant, who is a Northerner,
ordered it taken down. The boys
had it down and hid before his orders
could be obeyed. Immediately after
release from quarters at the morning
inspection, however, all of the boys
went to the flag pole and were raising
the flag for the third time. The
commandant came out of his office,
caught hold of the rope and ordered
it lowered. But in spite of his pro-
testations and his placing one boy
under arrest, the flag was raised.
The flag tloated proudly till after
church, when the commandant made
speech in which he said among
other things: "Boys, 1 don't blame
you for honoring the flag your fathers
and grandfathers fought for. Three
cheers for the flag of the Southern
Confederacy." (The cheers we're
given with vim in which the min
lister, the faculty, and the ladies
joined heartily) Continuing, he
said "But the South proved that
there was only one flag in 1898.
Boys, there's no use talking, we have
the greatest flag on the face of the
earth to-day. And now I want the
band to play Dixie while we lower
the Stars and Bars, and then to play
the Star Spangled Banner while we
raise the Stars and Stripes"
So while the band played "Dixie"
and while the boys stood with un-
covered heads sending forth cheer
upon cheer, the flag of our fathers
was lowered and the flag of our
forefathers and our flag was raised.
Three rousing cheers were given for
"Old Glory" and then three for the
commandant.

. The Battle Of chona ju.

London, March 81. Tho Japanese
legation here has received the follow
ing official report from Toxic of the
lighting between Japanese and Rus
sian forces at Chong Ju, Corea, on
Monday:
"On March 28 a portion of our
cavalry and infantry forces occupied
Chong Ju after defeating the enemy.
The enemy, who numbered about
600 men, retreated in the direction
of Wiju. Our casualties were ::
Lieut.. Kano and four others killed !;
Capt. Kurokawa and twelve others
wounded, of the cavalry force.
There were no casualties among our
infantry. Two dead bodies were
left by the enemy on the field, but it
is reported that some seven or eight
were killed inside the town. These
were promptly carried off by the
enemy on horseback or by ambu-
lance. The Russians were seen con-
veying in an ambulance two dead
men, apparently officers, and blood
stained bandages were found scat
tered around. The enemy must
have sustained losses at least equal
to our own"
A REVISED RUSSIAN ACCOUNT.
st. Petersburg, March 30.-A
later official dispatch from General
Mistchentko reports, on the authority
of the inhabitants of Chong Ju,
Corea, that The Japanese lost 40 men
killed, 100 men wounded and num-
ber of horses during the fight there
Monday. The Japanese employed
500 Corean bearers to carry their
wounded to Anju. Gen. Mistchentko
adds that Capt. Stopanoff, who was
among the Russians wounded, died
yesterday.
The above, which was dated
March 20, was forwarded to the en-
peror to-day by General Kuropatkin.

Cigarettes.

That cigarettes are poisonous is a
scientific fact. A physician made a
solution of all the nicotine from one
cigarette. One-half Of the solution
was injected into full grown frog,
from the effects of which the frog
died almost instantly. The other
half was used upon another frog,
with the same result. The poison
of the cigarette is as deadly to the
h uman being as to the frog, but is
slower in it's work. Diseases result
ing from it's use are well known
to physicians.-The Young Evange-
iist.

Important Bank Decisions.

Among the decisions filed by the
State Supreme Court last week there
vas one of decided general impor.
tance. 1t came up from Beaufort
in connection with the Bank of Beau
fort, which was owned by the late
Mr.. Lockwood. Tho bank failed,
and then contest for the deposits
began. III. @. Davis, county treasu.
rer, had $4,187.39 on deposit, and
George Gage, city clerk, had ST.
361.77 on hand. These two officers
claim that the funds they had on
hand in the bank were public funds,
and therefore entitled to preference.
The Supreme Court holds that the
funds clearly belonged to the county
and oity as indicated by the deposits,
and that they are entitled to pre-
ference under the statute law of the
State. The opinion of the Court
was prepared by Associate Justice
Gary.

The apple contains larger per-

other fruit or vegetable. This phos-
phorus is admirably adapted for re-
newing the essential nervous matter,
lethein of the brain and spinal cord.
The old Scandinavian traditions
represent the apple as the food

felt themselves to be growing old

this fruit for renewing their powers

His Faith Failed and He Went Under.

"I have often heard my grand
mother tell of a joke played on the
so-called Prophet Joseph Smith, Sr.,
of the Mormon church," says @. HI.
Cartwell. "Some time in the thirties
Smith and party of his followers
were proselyting in Muskingum
county, Ohio. He appointed GER
tain day when he would show the
people his wonderful powers, and
that he was second Christ, by walk
ing on the waters of Mud creek. The
water was always muddy. A day or
two before the time set grand
mothers brother, Robert, and a
couple of neighbor boys were acci-
dentally attracted to the Mormops
working at the creek, and, concealing
themselves, watched the Mormons
put down stakes and put plank on
them from bank to bank, the plank
resting about six inches under water.
After the Mormons left the bows
went down and took out the center
plank, where the WATERWAYS about 10
feet deep. The next day 'Balaam'
Smith came down to the creek, and
after a long exhortation started
across the creek. He was all right
and on top till he came to the center,
where his powers seemed to leave
him, and he, like McGinty, went to
the bottom. This was the end of
Mormonism in that old, tried and
true Presbyterian county."-Chicago

Not Entitled to Libraries.

Columbia correspondence of the
News and Courier: There will be a
number of schools in the State, about
100, it is estimated, that are not en-
titled to the appropriation for rural
school Libraries. These schools were
organized under some special act, as
were the graded schools in this city,
and the library law provided that
only those schools organized under
the general school law were entitled
to receive the appropriation. Super
intendent Martin has received appli-
cations from a number of schools of
this kind, and q list of all of the
schools organized under the consti-
tuition Of 1867 and 1895 is now be-
ing made out. Some of the schools
were organized under special act,
it being necessary to secure this
before the constitution of 1896
was enacted, solely to be able
to issue bonds, and Mr.. Mar
tin thinks that it would be an I'M
necessary hardship upon these schools
to deprive them of chance at the
library. Others are not under the
control of the State Board at all,
and, of course, they will not come in
for the distribution.

HOLDEN, Mo-. Dec. "A Missouri
Pacific passenger train bound from ST.
Louis to Kansas City this afternoon
was wrecked at the water works
bridge, resulting in the injury of forty
five passengers, several seriously. The
accident was due to broken rail
which projected from the track. 1t
caught the first coach behind the mail
car, throwing it from the track down
a twenty-foot embankment. Two other
coaches and Pullman and a dining
car followed. The broken rail was on
the bridge and the rear Pullman rolled
off the bridge into the creek below.
The passengers inside were all se-
riously injured. Two old women inn
prisoned in this car were taken out at
the top after holes had been made with
axes. The locomotive, two baggage
cars and a mail car passed the bridge
in safety and remained on the track,
but all the remainder of the train was

when volunteers were called for
from two infantry regiments every
man stepped forward, and the Cos
sacks in chorus asked not to be left
behind when the little party was
formed The order was given to de-
part at o'clock in the morning, and

caution. The party divided and at

were badly scared and unable to real

half dressed from their tents only to be
met by shots and bayonets. The fight
lasted only a few minutes, when the
whole camp broke and fed in a wild
panic, leaving the guns in our hands.

French PreIates Desire Adop.
ton of American System

PARIS, Dec. 3.-Cardinal Perraud.
the foremost figure in the French
hierarchy and member Of the
French academy, has written letter
strongly approving of the American
system of the independence Of church
and state, indicating that the Ameri-
can system offers the basis for re-
organization of the French system
when the forthcoming separation of
church and state in France is accom-
plished. This is the prevailing view in
the highest clerical circles, which have
been attracted to the American sys-
tenn by the Able Klein's recent book
In which the advantages Of the Ameri-
can system are .contrasted with the
disadvantages of the French system.
L'Univers, the principal clerical organ,
advocates the Introduction of a resolu-
ton in the chamber of deputies pro-
viding the future relations of church
and state shall be the same as those
existing in the United States.
