DONALDSON ON THE CLEMSON
TROUBLE.
Life Trustee Of Clemson Expresses
Himself as Sorry That Affair Has
Been Brought Into Print.

Greenville, April 20.--In regard to
the statement of Capt. Minus. Col M.
L. Donaldson said today:
II have seen what Capt. Minus had
to say in the papers. am very sorry
that he saw At to pursue that course
] don't think 1t will do any good and
l hope that it won't do any harm. +
do not feel called upon to discuss the
rather nncomplimentary references
made by Capt. Minus to the president
cf the college, the faculty and the
board Of trustees, and I might add to
the student body Capt. Minus proved
himself good commandant and re-
ceived nothing. so far as I know, from
the board, either collectively or indi-
vi6ually, but words Of praise, and I
feel sure that 1 voice the sentiment
Of all the board when say he found.
grievances. whether real or imagin-
ary, sufficient to cause his resignation.
must say in short, however, that I
differ from Capt. Minus as to the
gruesome picture he paints Of affairs
as they exist at Clemson college, with
regard to law and order. Among the
cadets there was never time in the
history of the college when the boys
were more orderly and well-behaved,
nor when more hard studying was be-
ing done; and so long as that Is true,
the young men are meeting the ex-
pectations of parents and guardians
in the matter Of education. These
questions Of authority, whether trivial
or otherwise. will cut no great fig
ure."
Mr.. Donaldson Is a life member of
the board of trustees of Clemson col
lege and gives much Of his time and
work to the institution. Mr.. Dnoald-
son, in the interview, stressed very
strongly the moral atmosphere at
Clemson college and said that it was
as good, as at any college in the
South, and mentioned the fact that
so large a number Of students of the
college awarded their diplomas on
last year made application to the
foreign field in mission work. He also
said that the Y. M. G. A., at the COL
lege is one Of the best organized and
possibly the largest in the South. He
continued that the atmosphere Of
morality was all that could be desired
among the boys and that for that rea-
son he was surprised that the state
ment of the retiring commandant was
made in regard to the law and order
OF the institution.

Constantinople, April 19.-The i'm
I'ortant feature Of the situation in the
Turkish capital today was the report
that Sultan Abdul Hamid had abdica-
ted. 1t caused the greatest excite
ment in the lobbies Of parliament and
spread with lightning-like rapidity
throughout the city. A rumor of the
flight Of the sultan on a warship fol-
lowed closely on that of his abdica-
ton, but neither could be confirmed.
Large crowds gathered at the Brit
ish embassy. where other reports had
1t the sultan had taken refuge, and
there also were scores Of inquiries at
the Russian embassy. concerning the
truth OF the rumor that his majesty
was under the protection of Russia
on one Of Its guardships.
At each Of these embassies all
knowledge of the sultan's movements
was denied and the Turkish foreign
office also gave a strong denial to one
and all Of these rumors. The abdica-
tion Of Abdul Hamid, however, is said
not to be improbable and 1t is believ-
ed that within a day or two the con-
stitutionalists may accept as his sue
cessor Prince Uzziff. the eldest son of
the late sultan, who Is second In line,
as they are strongly displeased with
Abdul Hamid's attitude.
The palace today was under strong
guard, and even high officials were
not permitted to enter it.

murdered him for the considerable
money be had on his person. Cotton
moved 10 Calgary last summer. leav-

His subsequent silence caused his
father to conduct search. He found

The Banner reprOduces in another
column an editorial from the North
field News on tne much discussed tax
problem. The News is firm believ-
er in the famous tax laws, but wants
them enforced more rigidly and the
Banner agrees with the News in so

Bennington Banner.
The Bennington neighbor will please
stand corrected in its statement that
the News is a firm believer In the
present law. 1t firmly believes that
the Bacon law would have been an
advanced step in Vermont's tax laws
and one feature of particular value
would have been in developing prac-
teal changes in the present law. AS
the people did not get this, 1t believes
that the enforcement of the present
law is desirable, not only because ii
would suggest to some extent desir-
able changes for the benefit of every
honest taxpayer. 1t would seem that
tn Banner is getting into the way OF
thinking more like the News-or per
naps the Bennington contemporary
would put it the other way about, il it
dared to. Mortified News.
The principal difference seems to
be that the Banner has repeatedly de.

Such productions are dreamy and
beautiful, Practically speaking
though, they are made of dreams.
Take it right here in Vermont, there
is hardly a newspaper published that
would answer the description in the
paragraph quoted above. Such a pa
per couldn't live long enough, to cut
its first tooth, because the people de-
mand something better and the aver
age publisher is so ambitious to give
1t to them that not unfrequently he
makes his journal several sizes lar
ger than the town in which it is pub
lished. Again it may be said that
with possibly very few exceptions,
the newspapers of Vermont, daily and
weekly, are better and stronger rep
reservations of journalism than the
metropolitan press. according to the
size of the fields they cover-North-
field News.
