Gets Ten Years.

GREENSBORO, N. c., April g.
Hardin Germany was convicted in
the superior court here and sentenced
to the penitentiary for ten years, for
sending an internal machine through
the mail to Caesar Cone, the mil
lionaire cotton manufacturer of this
city, two weeks age.
Germany was former employe IN
one Of Mr.. Cones mills, and is 20
years of age. He did not employ
counsel to defend him, and offered no
testimony, but denied that he is
guilty of the charge. Mr.. Cone was
the the principal witness.
The case was removed to the state
court, as no law could be found in
the federal statutes covering the
case.

riidshlpsnan D. Graham Copeland.

We have recently been permitted to
see some letters from Midshipman D.
Graham Copeland, youngest son of Mr..
and Mrs. ]. D. Copeland, of this city,
who is now on the Cleveland One was
dated at Cavite, in the Philippines, and
the other at Shanghai China. Both are
very interesting, as he tells much of
life in the Philippines and different
places he has visited. He states that
cholera has been raging there, but it is
not contagious, being contracted by eat
ing contaminated fruits or vegetables.
The natives live almost entirely on
fruits, so the mortality is high. Mr..
Copeland is studying at present for his
promotion examinations, which will
come up about the first of May.
After leaving Cavite for Shanghai, the
Cleveland encountered severe storm,
and Mr.. Copeland says the vessel pitch
ed through an angle Of As degrees, but it
was grand sight. He says: 81 was
continually drenched on the bridge,
which on this ship is about affect above
the water, which will give you an idea
how high the waves were running.
ssChina is a great country, and my
trip has certainly opened my eyes to a
great number of facts that never knew
before. The poverty of the natives is
something awful. They simply flock
around the ship to get anything that is
thrown overheard. When slop is thrown
overheard they use kind of sein and
collect all the eatable refuse. Then they
squeeze the water out Of it and proceed
to make a meal. Worse than the dogs
at home. yet they thrive and seem to be
happy, being as strong and healthy as
can be. For five cents Mexican money
or q cents gold you can buy as much
here as fifty cents would purchase u in
the United States. Yet they say
Shanghai is the costliest town in the
East.
\ ''The European settlement is very
large and fashionable. There are about
two thousand Americans in the colony.
They gave a tremendous blow out on
Washington's birthday, but we did not
get in until it was over. Next was
favor cotillion at the Kaiser Concordia
Club, which I took in and had a big time.
Met a lot of nice people. People here
call themselves Cosmopolites. 1danced
with Americans, English, Canadians, an
Irish girl, a French madamoiselle, and
Hungarian"
The letters are indeed interesting,
and we only wish we had space for more
extracts from them.
Mr.. Copeland says The Herald has very
interesting items in it at all times, and he
looks forward to it's coming almost as
much as he does to the Army-Navy
Register.

CLEr1SON CADETS FIRED.
40 Juniors Expelled In Consequence
of April Fool Prank.

COLUMBIA, April 4.-Forty-nine
cadets, members of the junior class at
Clemson College, were expelled today
as result of their April fool prank,
when they quit barracks without
leave and marched off to the neigh
boring town of Pendleton whence
they sent saucy, impertinent mes
sages to members of the governing
body.
It seems probable that 200 sopho-
mores and freshmen will be summar-
ily dismissed. The individual cases of
sophomores are now under consider
alton by members Of the faculty.
Under-classmen threaten to leave if
the dismissals occur, as seems likely.
None of the members of the senior
class are involved in the trouble.
The cadets who are expelled are
among those who deliberately walked
off in spite of strong warning to
avoid any such pranks.
THOSE WHO ARE EXPELLED.
ANDERSON, April 4.-Forty-nine
members of the junior class Of Glenn
son College were dismissed from col
lege to-day and one junior suspend
ed until next session. Each participa-
tor in the escapade Of Wednesday was
given a hearing by the discipline
committee. Fifty out Of the ninety
two members of the junior class par
ticipated. L. B. McCrady, Of Char
lesion, was the cadet suspended. He
entered into the escapade but didnot
leave the college premises.
The discipline committee is now
hearing the excuses Of indiyidual
members Of the sophmore and fresh
men classes. An order will be pub
lished early tomorrow morning an
nouncing their punishment. Many
will be expelled and others suspend
ed, and some may get off from pun
ishment entirely.

MITCHELL's CORN PALACE

September rs to October 8, 1908
The agricultural exhibit at the Mitch
ell corr palace this fall will undoubted-
ly be the finest collection of farm pro-.
ducts ever exhibited in the state. The
management has offered some very at
tractive cash prizes and the several
counties that have been fortunate
enough to secure space are putting forth
some strenuous efforts to win first prize.
The bountiful crops just harvested will
afford the exhibitors an opportunity to
make a most excellent showing.
Thaviu's Concert Band and Sym
phony Orchestra have been engaged
for two concerts each day for the entire
week. This celebrated band, during
the present season, has delighted the
thousands who have thronged the
White City, Chicago's popular summer
resort. M. Thaviu is one of the rising
band leaders of the continent and the
immense success that has attended
each appearance of his band has de-
monstrated that he plays music that
touches the popular chord. The ar
%rangement of M. Travin's program de-
serves a word of commentator for the
excellent judgment used. The weight
of classic numbers is lifted by airy little
popular selections which serve as q
frothy delicacy to render ven
palatable the heavier offerings.
A new feature this year will be the
introduction of high class vaudeville
which will make up about one-half Of
the program. The management has
been able to secure five superb acts, the
cream of the Orpheum circuit. Henri
French, acknowledged the leading i'm
personalor On the stage today, is a
whole show in himself. His imperson-
alton of some of the worlds greatest
musicians is immense and captures his
audience at once. M. Henri is a nifty
little man who is sure to score winner
on the program, as he has done in all
the leading cities of the United States.
Lew Sully, the celebrated monologuist,
will furnish the fun, his side-splitting
jokes and comical expressions have
made him the ideal of the Orpheum
circuit.
Mazuz and Mezette, the acrobatic
comedians, keep their audiences in a
continuous uproar from the moment
they appear on the stage until the cur
tain falls. The wonderful gymnastic

Rottina and Stevens. the beautiful
lady dancers, execute the most difficult
dances with an ease and grace that Is
charming. They carry their own spe-
cial scenery and by the aia Of varied
colored lights make a beautiful stage
setting. Throughout the entire Orphe-
UNI circuit they have received the most.
hattering press notices.
Another act that must be seen to he
appreciated is .'I'he Laurent Trio.'
These people present some of the mot
marvellous feats of strength " at
tempted.
The above five complete acts will be
given at each concert accompanied by
the celebrated Symphony orchestra,
which will prove one Of the most inter-
esting and amusing programs eve pre-
sented to a western audience. AS the
corn palace hes in the past endeavored
to present to its thousands of annual
visitors the best entertainment money
could procure so this year neither
money nor time has been spared IN Sc
curing what we believe will prove the
most entertaining program " pre-
sented in the state.
Besides the above mentioned acts,
which appear at each concert, the
management has provided an excellent
line of free street attractions. More
money has been expended on this fea-
ture than IN previous years in order
that this part of the entertainment
should keep pace with the rest.
All railroads within the state, in re-
Spouse to the repeated demands of
their patrons who wish to visit the pail
ace this year, have granted q half fare
rate from all parts of the state, good
for the entire week.
This annual harvest festival has
come to be recognized as the most elab-
crate affair of its kind in the world.
Nest of our citizens, however, fail to
recognize the vast amount of good that
has come to our state through this
agency alone.
The fame of Mitchell's Corn Palace
has spread throughout the United
States and, in fact, all over the civil
ized world. Through this medium the
great agricultural possibilities of the
commonwealth have been made public.
The great tide of immigration that has
been pouring into every county in the
state. from all parts of the world, for
the past six or eight years, is the best
evidence of what the corn palace has
done in the way of advertising the
states resources.
Remember the date September % to
October 3, inclusive.
