thing that they ever did financially;
and that it has been the means of their
acquiring a permanent investment re-
turning a reasonable income that they
otherwise would not have had"

STRIKE COAL NEAR RICHMOND
Billions of Tons in Workable Seams,
Reported by Experts.

A vein of coal amounting to bill
lions of tons can be mined on the out
skirts of Richmond, Va, according to
a rDertS Smade by experts who have
corr I'D an investigation.
Es.ima les place the amount of coal
in TIE Richmond basin, lying princi-
pally beneath Chesterfield county, at
1850, 600, 100000 tons, in five work
able seams. The field is approximate
ly 80 miles long and 6 to 2 miles wide
and a 5-foot seam of coal over this
entire area would give an output OF
100000 tons year for Is or 80
years if properly mined.
From s3,O00,000 to s5,000,00O is
necessary to institute development on
an adequate scale, and there is good
evidence of a substantial financial
return on money placed in the ven
ture, it is said.

$50 CADET QUIT
CLEMSON CAMPUS
CHARGEs UNFAIR TRIALS. UN.
JUST DISCIPLINE FORCED
2 X. p. DUTY.

Greenville, March 10.-Virtually the
entire freshman and sophomore class
es and the one-year agricultural class
of Clemson College, comprising fully
four hundred and fifty men, walked
out in body this afternoon following
requests made of the president, w. M.
Riggs, that the case Of Cadet T. E.
Crosland, of Bennettesville, be recon-
sidered. According to information
obtained from the students, about
three hundred and fifteen of whom
arrived in Greenville at $50 o'clc <
tonight on special coaches attack d
to Southern train No. 40. This incl
dent merely served to eliminate a
sentiment which has been brewing for
some time. Chief among the griev-
ances of the students, as far as can
belearned are: charges that fair trials
are not accorded cadets; that the dis
cipline imposed at the State college is
unjust and almost unbearable, that
the general sanitary condition of the
various buildings is bad, that students
are unnecessarily required to work in
the kitchen and that the general con-
ditions existing there are to their
minds, entirely unsatisfactory.
Students reaching Greenville to-
night asserted that the junior and
senior classes of Clemson are holding
a meeting tonight and that they feel
confident these classes will follow
their example unless requests made
on the authorities are granted and
the existing conditions at the college
are greatly changed. 1t. is reported
that only three hundred students of
the student body of 779 are remain
ing at Clemson tonight.

QUESTION OF REVEALS
Address at Peoples Forum by DR..
Walter Mitchell.

The Rev. Walter Mitchell, D. D.,
rector Of the Porter Military Acade-
my, delivered an address last Sunday
night in Charleston on the subject of
religious reveval. The Charleston
News and Courier says "He began
his address by asking the question,
Who needs religious revivals?' The
lives of people, he said, are made Up
of action and reaction which have
been more rapid in the past few years
than at any time in the history Of
the country. Ever since the close of
the war people have been looking out
for self first-just a reaction Of the
sacrifices made by them in the war
and as a result a reckless extrava-
gance effects every one. Among ex-
amples he mentioned a man who, in
purchasing $50 worth of clothes,
bought among other things a bath
robe costing $14. This extravaganza,
DR.. Mitchell said, could be checked
only by a revival.
The behavior Of the so-called
"Reds," he said, was just another
form of reaction. IF the radicals
haven't a soap box, then provide them
with one," he said, "and let them get
all that they have to say out Of their
system" A religious revival would
also help them, he thought.
The people in the church need re-
vival more than the people on the out
side, DR.. Mitchell said. Both future
and progress depend upon the church
and the church is not doing what it
should. "God is the Church, but how
he stands it l don't see."

CITY IS BURNED
AND MANY KILLED
RELIEF WORKERS SEE TURKS
SHOOT ARMENIANS DOWN AS
FLEE FOR SAFETY

Adana, Asia Minor, Sunday, Feb.
29.-(By the Associated Press)-Since
the seige of Peking, foreigners have
undergone no more nerve racking ex-
perience than seventeen relief work
ers of the American committee for
relief in the Near East, shut up for
twenty-five days without outside COM
munication in mission compound at
Marash. They were under constant
rain of lead, while French troops
aided by Armenians, battled with
Turkish Nationalists for possession Of
the city. More than half of the town
was burned during the engagement
and there was terrible loss of life.
The story is told in the diary of
the Rev. C. T. S. Crathern, a Boston
Y. NJ. C. A. secretary who went
through and arrived at Adana on Feb
ruary'15. Mr.. Crathern reports Alge-
rian trops were engaged in sltir-
mish with Turkish bandits when the
American automobile appeared and
drew fire from the Turks. Mr.. Crath-
ern's diary says on January 21 he
found Marash with its bazaars and
shops closed and the Turks engaged
in talking in small groups throughout
the city.
At noon shots were heard by the re-
lief workers, indicating that the long
threatened clash in the city had start
ed. French officials arrested several
important Turkish officials, which, it
was thought, precipitated q clash at
Aros. Shooting soon began in all
parts of the city. A French sentinel
guarding an American hospital was
killed and another French soldier was
wounded.
Sniping continued throughout the
night and the Americans were
awakened on the 22nd by the sound
of guns and the flashes of exploding
shells. An attack was made on the
American hospital, the doctors and
nurses having narrow escape.
Fighting continued on the 23rd and
through his field glasses Mr.. Crath-
ern said he could see Armenians fee
ing through the streets before the
Turks, who shot them down, while
Turkish snipers on the hills about the
city shot at Armenians attempting to
leave Marash. The diary says:
1t was pitiful to see them throw up
their hands and cream while attempt
ing to ecape. We watched them flee
ing over the hills until they reached
our compound, some dropping wound
ed, and others staggering into the
mission grounds with wild eyes and
purple faces, telling of the awful mas
sacre just beginning"
