Mr.. Editor: After spending
nearly two weeks at home,
Olemson's student body of seven
hundred South Carolina youths
returned to college Saturday af-
ternoon, refeshedi and invigorated
by the pleasant Christmas vaca-
ton. Practically all of the stu
dents were present to answer to
roll-call at 6. 30 O'Clock on Satnr
day evening, and they began
work on Monday morning with
a determination to do the best
WORK Of the year during tn e
next lew months. Only abo ut
a dozen students remained at the
college during the holidays.
Every one was saddened by
the death of Prof. Frank S. Shi-
YER of the chemistry department.
He died quite suddenly during
the Christmas holidays, and by
his death the Clemson faculty
has lost one of it's most efficient
and faithful members, and the
citizenship of South Carolina has
lost manly Christian gentle
man. He was about 35 years
old, graduate of the University
of South Carolina, and is surviv
ed by a wife and four children.
AT the last annual conference,
the Methodists stationed Rev. j.
ID. Graves at this place to furth-
er the movement to build q
church here. He will spend all
of his time for the next few
months in raising subscriptions
for this purpose, and hoping by
the opening of the next session
the church will be completed

the technical charge against four
of them being that of carrying
concealed weapons and that of
vagrancy against the fifth man.
Immediately after the incar-
ceration of the men Postoffice
Inspectors III. t. Gregory and M.
.. Halverstadt were informed
by wire of the capture, and they
came at once to Lancaster, reach
ing here Thursday night. A
searching and thorough examina-
ton of the suspects, conducted
by Mr.. Gregory, was begun at
the Jail about 10 O'Clock and was
not concluded until about day.
light yesterday morning. The
prisoners were brought down
stairs one at time, made to re-
move vestige of clothing and
then critically examined, every
physical popularity and any scars
or marks being carefully noted.
One of the men refused TO come
down stairs volunta arily and had
to be brought down by force.
Every piece of clothing was
closely inspected. Some of the
men had money concealed in
their clothing. One party had
several bills sewed up under the
lining of the inside of the flap on
his coat pocket. Another had
currency hidden inside of his
drawers. Something over 800
altogether was taken from the
men. Il number of knives and
some razors were also found con-
cealed about their persons. One
man, after removing all of his
clothing except his undershirt,
demurred to taking it off on ac-
count of the cold. He was re-
quired to take off the garment
however, and as he did so, a
razor in little sack or case sus-
pended around his neck was re-
vealed. A razor stuck under the
lining of d quilt in the cell oc-
cupied by the prisoners was
found by Mr.. Gregory, and an
other razor was discovered by
him hidden under one side of
the iron cell.
Officer Gregory appeared to
recognize nearly if not all the
men. though he is keeping his
counsel to himself. III he has
any evidence against the parties
connecting them with any par
ticular crime or crimes he is not

One of the most important as

made in Lancaster county was the
capture Wednesday night by cit

being safecrackers, who were en-

The strangers, who proved to
be five in number, were found at
camp, where they had cook ed
supper, about half mile from
Vanwyck. The camp was sur
rounded and the men ordered to
surrender, which they did with
out resistance. They said af-
terwards that they were taken by
surprise, and thinking that the
woods were full of men and
knowing that their captors had
the drop on them, they realized
that resistance would be useless.
Every man arrested had an upto
date revolver except one, who
has only one arm. A valise was
found in the party containing
highly explosive material nj.
tro-glycerine, dynamite, caps
etc, and also lot of soap which
seems to be necessary part oi
