spectors will not be lenient and the people in the wards about to be cleaned up are again warned to get the necessary cans, put all trash in hem, and place the receptacles where they will be accessible to the garbage wagons.
 The people of the Northside are urged to cooperate with the street cleaning department in this work. owing to the fact that the summer season is on it is incumbent that the city should be as free as possible from trash and garbage in order that the general public health may not be inn paired" said Mr. McCartin yesterday. "If the citizens will help the depart ment in the work it can all be done in very few weeks, and they are urged to do So."

 There were quite a number of Sum- day afternoon automobilists out yes terday and it was with much apparent delight that the autoists sped through the subway. The opening of the un- derground way connects Twenty sixth and Twenty eighth streets, on Fifth avenue, and does away entirely with the danger of a grade crossing. When the electric lights are installed, which, 1t is understood, will be done within the next few days, the subway will be complete.

OLD NEGRO ROBBED.
Two Young Bucks Relieve Old Charles
Vaughan of $lc3 Cotton Money.

Charles Vaughan, an old negro man,
brought load Of cotton to town Sat-
urday. which he sold, receiving there
for check for 1923 which he cashed
at the bank. After obtaining the money
he proceeded toward Edgar Skinner's
shop for the purpose of setting an ac-
count Of $25 which he owed Mr.. Skin
ner. On the way through the back
lots he was robbed by Richard Jones
and Cyrus White. two young negroes
who professed great friendship for
him. These negroes pretended to be-
come angered with each other and
finally engaged in a rough and tum-
BILE fight. Vaughan took the role Of
the peacemaker and after considera-
BILE persuasion and some physical
force separated the combatants. Peace
being restored Vaughan proceeded on
his way, leaving the two negroes in
the back lot. Arriving at SINNERS
shop he asked for his bill and put his
hand in his pocket to get his pocket
book. But the pocket book was gone.
He returned to the scene Of the strug-
gle between his pretended friends and
made carefl search fort the missing
pocket book, but, OF course, failed to
find 1t. The matter was reported to
the police and warrants were issued
for the arrest Of Jones and White. as
all the circumstances indicated a case
Of robbery Jones has been captured,
but White has not yet been located.
Jones proclaims his innocence with
great vehemence., but 1t Is expected
that when White IL apprehended more
light will! be thrown upon the disap-
pearance Of Vaughan's money.

proved by April Fool Escapade-
Cadets Readmitted.

Clemson College, Sept. 7.-Every-
thing Is in readiness at Clemson coll
lege for the season Of 1sOS-Os, which
commence on Wednesday morning.
Crowds Of the cadets have already ar
rived on the campus, and by 9 O'Clock
wednesday more than 700 students
will be housed in the several dormi-
tories.
1--WE kept account Of the number Of
applications for admission until the
number exceeded 1,10O and then we
quit. The capacity Of the college is a
few more than 700. We expect some
to fail on their examinations, and this
will reduce the enrolment to the ca
pacity Of the college. If the number
falls below we will use our waiting
list, and the boys according to their
dates OF application will be asked to
report at the college.
Concerning the April fool escapade:

received applications from about 225
for readmission. II the dismissed
cadet in his application showed tha,
he was penitent. and that he was
heartily sorry for his action on all

Commandant Minus has returned

There will be- no formal opening

made. No set speeches will be made
by any one. and college life will be-
resumed without any demonstration.
AL OF us believe that the escapade Of
all FOOLS day has had its good effect.
Such an incident seemed necessary to
show the cadets that the board OF
trustees and the faculty, and not the
corps OF cadets, were the bosses OF
this college. We are accepting the
boys in good. faith, and we do not
look for any further trouble. The ca
diets were readmitted by the discipline
committee. The board Of trustees did
not interfere or even suggest anything
