Charleston, June 20: Col. c. s.
Gadsden, chairman of the board OF
visitors Of the South Carolina Military
academy, announces today the re-
election of the members OF the fac
ulty Yesterday with the exception OF
Prof P. p. Mazyck, professor OF
modern languages; Col j. Cotton
Lynes, professor Of chemistry and ge-
oiogy, and Major j. T. Coleman, pro-
fessor Of physics. 1t was with regret
that Col. Gadsden announced that
the three professorships would have
10 be filed at the next meeting Of the
board Of visitors in Columbia on July
L 81. He could give no reason ON
cially for the action Of the board In
not reelecting these gentlemen to
their positions. From what can be
learned, the action Of the board OF
visitors In regard to these three pro-
fessors is the result OF Superintend-
ent o. B. Martins announced deter
mination to shake things" up az
| this institution of learning Making
vacant the chair of chemistry, phys
les and languages is result OF the
first shake which he and the other
members Of the board engineered
Yesterday. The many friends OF
Profs. Mazyck, Lynes and Coleman
will regret deeply TO hear that they
will not be In the corps Of instruc-
tors next year at the South Carolina
Military academy. They have all
long been connected with the acade-
my and have done much to build IL
up to its present standard.
- There was a fatal battle in the
public square of Orangeburg last Sat-
urday between James T. Parks, for
merly of Orangeburg, now OF Column
bia, and Robert H. Covar OF Orange
burg. The two men had been asso-
ciated together In the publication Of
the Orangeburg Patriot. Parks went
to Columbia to take a position ais a
clerk In the state dispensary, and af-
| terward sold his interest in the paper
| to another party. In the meantime
| bad feeling had developed between
himself and Coyar and last week
Parks announced his intention OF go
| ing to Orangeburg to foreclose
mortgage he held over the plant OF
the Patriot. Friends had ADVISED
him not to 60 to Orangeburg but 10
transact the business by correspond
ence, as they said that Covar had
threatened to kill him. Covar also
had information that he was TO be
killed by Parks. The two men met
in the rear OF the Orangeburg court
house The testimony as TO what
occurred Is somewhat conflicting;
but some of the witnesses have it that
following few words between the
two men Parks struck Covar In the
| face with his fist and then both COM
menced shooting and continued until
they had emptied their pistols. Each
was hit in several places and Parks
died about ten hours later. Covar is
pretty badly hurt but his wounds are
not OF a nature to necessarily prove
fatal.
