One question we should like to have
answered: Why did the dispensary COM
mission invite Mr.. B. F. Arthur to it's
sittings after Attorney General Lyon
went to Union and demanded his resig-
nation? And if the commission saw
cause why Mr.. Arthur should not con-
tlnue to serve on the commission why
did it not request Governor Ansel to
remove him?

tie tip, we remark, Laurens can't be
made a Getty beautiful without work.

Mr.. Jas. A. Hoyt, in a lengthy review
of the Clemson trouble, among many
other sensible things says:
$50 the Clemson boys have discov-
cred that what is wrong, either legally
or morally, to be done by an individual
is wrong, either legally or morally, to
be done by q mob. 1t has also been
brought home to them that at Clemson
violations of the college laws, whether
by an individual or by a mob, will meet
with certain punishment to the indi-
vidual."
1t is a very easy thing for a crowd of

they, each one separately and individ-
ually, must bear the penalty of the
crowds folly.
