BOYS LEAVE CITADEL.
Thirteen Cadets Leave Because They
Couldn't Run Things.

CHARLESTON, March 27.-Twelve
cadets of the South Carolina Military
academy left the institution last
night in a body and one cadet left
this morning, alleging that they hac
not received fair treatment at the
hands of the faculty, their honor
having been doubted.
The direct cause of their dissatis.
faction was the charges preferred
against Cadets Alexander, Sloan and
Mahon of making false official state
ments to the commandant March e.
as members of the guard, and Of
making alleged perjured statements
to the board of inquiry of March 25
The trouble arises from the alleg'
ed breaking of barracks on last Fri
day night Of Cadets Cohen and Able
Cohen later acknowledged that he
had broken barracks and was dis
missed from the academy Saturday
Cadet Able, who was also charged
with this offense, denied the charge
and said that he was in the room o1
Cadets Alexander, Mahon and Sloa1
at the time that he was charged with
being on the streets. Comandant
Simons reported the breaking Of
barracks of the two cadets, the story
of which was told in The State.
Cadet Able was tried yesterday
af+ernoon for breaking barracks anC
expelled. Charges of false testimony
and reports were also preferred
against Cadets Mahon, Alexander
and Sloan, the board of inquiry hav
ing decided that they did not tell the
truth officially or as cadets in regarc
to the! presence of Able in thell
rooms at the time Commandan1
Simons reported that he saw him or
the street..
Last night three cadets so charged
went to the commandant and asked
him to retract his charges, telling
him that they were unfounded anc
that their honor as gentlemen was
attacked by the charges against
them. They asked for an immediate
decision on the matter, rather thar
have the charges hanging over them
They were told that this investigat'
ion would be made but not at once
and that the charges could not be
withdrawn.
Following the result Of the inter.
view with Commandant Simons, Ca.
diets T. l.. Alexander of Charlotte,
John T. Sloan, Jr., Of Columbia, W,
J. Murray, Jr., of Columbia, j. G,
'Ehrlich, Columbia; Jack Crawford,
Columbia; G. H. Mahon, Greenville;
C. E. McAllister, Greenville; Hamlin
Beattie, Greenville; Ralph Gossett,
Williamson; A. S. Able, St. Mat
thews; P. E. Lyles, Columbia; j. F.
Richardson, Jr., Greenville, made
their way from the Citadel and thus
severed their connection by the
technical offense of desertion. y
This morning Cadet Butler of
Jacksonville also left the Citadel for
the same reason that the cadets
withdrew last night.

MR.. TILLMAN IN MARYLAND.
Senator Denies That He Had q Row
In q Club.

A special to the Baltimore Sun
from Cumberland, Md. says: Sena-
tor Tillman, Of South Carolina, lee
!, t;iife tt;uiirfed in the Academy Of Music here
tonight on the Race Problem" J" He
was introduced by ex-senator George
L. Wellington, who served with Mr..
j iifiilman in the senate. Mr.. Tllman
is being entertained by DR.. Thomas
w. Koon. Host and guest from ad-
joining counties in South Carolina
Newberry and Edgefeld.
Senator Tillman jumped here from
Rhinelander, Wis, where helectured
on Saturday evening. Notwithstan9
ing he travelled 1000 mileswithout.a q
break he appears most vigorous.
Mrs. Tillman joined him here today,
coming up from Washington, and
will accompany him to Pittsburg TO-
morrow. He will lecture tomorrow
night at Wilmerding, a few miles
from Pittsburg.
Senator Tillman's attention was
called to the report sent out that he
had participated ina scene with mem
bers Of the Berkeley Club at Mar
tinsburg, w. Va, where he stopped
a few hours upon his return from
Winchester to take a train from the
West. He said he had not heard 0t
the matter until he reached here;
that he had not been to the club and
had no unpleasantness there.
When Senator Tllman and exSen-
ator Wellington appeared on the
platform there was prolonged ap-
plause. There were a number OF la-
dies in the audience, which number
ed between 400 and 500. Senator
Wellington in introducing Senator
Tillman drew forth applause by stat
ing that there was need Of such,men
as the one he would introduce TO
combat the attempted usurpation OF
the constitutional rights by executive
power. ''That there is now such an
attempt" he said, mo one will deny.
In such an hour strong men are need
ed." -
Senator Wellington said he did
not agree with Senator Tillman IN all
his views, but he admired him for
his firm convictions and Independent
manhood, and he will 60 all the way
for the doctrine he believes. His
vigorous voice at all times is right.
Senator Tillman could not speak
when he arose for quite an interval
because of the noisy welcome.

Since its rejection, the ardor Of the

Cuban reciprocity is working out
Just as Congressman Fordney pre-

Cuba but an expensive arrangement
for the United States and the sugar
producers of the Eighth Congression-

November 10. 1t Is predicted that our
exports to Cuba will amount to fifty
million dollars this year as against
forty-six and one-half last year. Our
imports from Cuba will amount to
over one hundred million dollars,
against eighty-five millions last year.
The increase of imports is chiefly
sugar and tobacco, over three billion
pounds of sugar coming in this year
as against two and half billions last
year. Mr.. Fordney thought that the
United States did enough for Cuba in

of Lees Plains, Livingston county All
OF these men, once so active in business
life, founders of the village of Byron,
are numbered with the departed, like
most of those who settled in Byron in
those early days, and why 1 have been
kept in active life so long is one of the
mysteries no finite mind can comprehend
and l will not undertake the task of
trying to find out. But am here, and
as full of years as | am that summer of
1885 is as fresh in my mind at present
as though it occurred in 1906. There are
many things that occurred that year in
connection with the settling of Byron
and the township of Burns, and Shia-
awassee county, l should like to men
ton, but time and newspaper space for
bids so ! must confine my thoughts to
that which will most interest the read
ers of the Herald.
In June we had three days rain,
causing the greatest rise in the river
/ have ever known, and the filing of
the marshes with water caused the
largest supply of mosquitoes ever known
in Michigan during my long stay with
in its boundary, so abundant was the
supply that in surveying the village
plat the men were obliged to wear lace
wells to protect their faces and gloves
to protect their hands.
When the surveys were completed
a fine map was prepared, and on Sagi-
nav street were pictured several stores
and some fine dwellings,; fine dam
across the east branch and a race to
empty it's water into the main stream,
and fine Touring mill on the bank of
the river, and large steamer lying
close beside the mill laden with barrels
of flour for Saginaw, but don't think
it ever left its place beside the mill.
And now will close this my first arti-
Gle, and at some future day will furnish
another in continuance of my reminis-
cences

SEVENTY-ONE YEARS AGO
The Village of Byron Was Founded.
From The Byron Herald

The Village of Byron Was Founded.
From The Byron Herald,
My thoughts of Byron and it's citizens
call to mind many things that have
occurred since l first set my feet upon
it's soil in the early spring of 1886, and
in thinking of them it occurred to me
that perhaps the readers of your paper
would be interested in reading some of
my "reminiscences, so if you should deem
them of sufficient merit, and 1 am per-
mitted to tarry here-for some months
longer, will continue the contribution
of these "reminiscences covering the
period from 1886 to 1907. at which time
l closed my last sojourn of ten years,
and came to Grand Rapids to finish up
my long life journey of 80 years already
passed.
My father purchased the N. E. quar-
ter of section 10, in the township of
Burns, consisting OF 100 acres, for
which he paid Uncle Sam" ten shill-
lings per acre; and in February, 1886,
my father, myself, my brother-in-law,
Joseph Leonard and Samuel Joslin
made our first visit to the new pur-
chase and spent two weeks in putting
in good shape new log house ready
for occupation by our family in the
spring In May, myself, my sister and
her husband came on and took posses
sion of the new home; the rest of the
family, consisting of father, mother,
four sisters and one brothers, coming a
little later.
Where the village of Byron now
stand nothing but oak grubs and low
willow bushes was to be seen, with a
few oak trees Of small size and not very
tall, scattered over the ground now
covered with comfortable dwellings,
stores and other buildings for various
uses. The land was owned by Judge
Dexter, living at Dexter, Washtenaw
county, but in 1886 it was purchased by
a company of five men as partners, and
became known as the Byron Mill Com
pany, who came on in the summer of
1886, surveyed and laid out the village
and christened it with the name it has
since borne, and will to the end of time.
Only two of the company took up
their abode in the newly laid out
village, Francis J. Provost, man with
small family, and Wallace Goodwin,
a single man about thirty years of age,
who, few years later, married young
lady in Vernon by the name of Smed-
ley.
A few years later the company sold
their interest in the Byron property,
dissolved partnership, and Mr. Provost
moved to California, and Goodwin left,
and this deponent knoweth not what
