Let There Be a Hearing
The time is at hand when the
conditions prevailing at A. &
M. College must be taken firm-
ly in hand and settled once for
all].
The Chronicle fairly and
frankly discussed the matter
some months ago, when the
situation was very acute, and
when the wend of events seem-
ed to point to the ultimate re-
sult that the action of the facul-
ty and the regulations prescrib-
ed by it must be subject to the
approval of the students, which,
of course, would have been de-.
structive of ail discipline, as the
Chronicle then said.
It recognized the gravity of
the situation, and, while it did
not mean to attempt a discussion
as to the issue involved, it did
mean to be understood as stand-
ing for order and discipline and
obedience to the constituted au-
thority as absolutely essential in
the conduct of the affairs of any
educational institution.
The trouble appears to have
been adjusted, thanks to the un-
selfish and patriotic action of the
alumni of the institution, but it
seemed that they treated the
trouble at the point of develop-
ment rather than of origin.
Somewhere behind* and below j
all hearings and investigations i
have yet reached there seems to
be some trouble and indications
seem to point to President Har-
rington as at once the cause of
the trouble and the chief obsta-
cle to peaceable adjustment.
The word "seems" is used be-
cause it may be that this con-
clusion does injustice to the
gentleman named; but, whether
rightfully or wrongfully, object-
ing and protesting students
charge him with being responsi-
ble for their grievances.
The Chronicle does not assume
to be so advised as to the facts
on which the original charges
and counter charges were based
as to justify their discussion,
but there have been some recent
developments from which con-
clusions may be safely drawn
and which should be discussed?
A few days ago certain of the
nior class who had charge of
or access to the columns of the
college paper set forth their ver-
sion of the grounds of the recent
unfortunate dissension or in
some way referred to the un-
fortunate past, whereupon the
editors were promptly disciplin
ed, and when the seniors indors-
ed the action otthe juniors they
were $lso threatened with dis-
missal.
The boys of the A. & M. are
not children who can be justly
charged with pouting and whc
are to be soothed with sugar
teats, but are young men either
21 or over, or verging upon that
age, and the constitutional guar-
anty of free press and free
speech extends over the A. & M.
College and all who are connec-
ted therewith; and when Presi-
dent Harrington took offense at
the action of the young editors
and threatened them with sus-
pension or other penalty he was
treadiug on dangerous ground.
Perhaps the student editors
were discourteous in their treat-
ment of the subject, and deserv-
to be reprimanded, but to be
denied the privilege of remain-
ing at the state's school was
unnecessarily severe, especially
at a time when the institution
was already securing such un-
fortunate notoriety.
The situation may not have
presented itself to President
Harrington in that light, but
the nature and effect of his ac-
tion must be obvious to even
a casual observer.
These latest developments
will call attention to another
matter, and that is to the need
of a public hearing of the whole
question—a thorough investiga-
tion by the means of sworn test-
imony and with the privilege of
council extended to both sides.
The public is not satisfied
with such investigations and re-
ports as have been had and
given out, and it will not be sat-
isfied until every fact bearing
upon the unfortunate contro-
versy is brought out.
If such a hearing should show
that President Harrington has
been unjust or unduly irritable,
and has been the culpable
cause of the discussion, then he
should no longer be retained as
president; while, on the other
hand, if he has but exercised in
a just and orderly way, the au-
thority of his office in the inter-
ests of legal discipline and the
benefit of the school, he should
be and would be exonerated. He
should demand such hearing.—
Houston Chronicle.
Off for Birmingham
About twenty tickets were
sold here Sunday for the Ex-
Confederate reunion at Birming
ham. It was thought a' month
ago that about fifty or sixty
would go from Atlanta The
heavy rains and the conditions
of crops made it impossible for
some to go.
Among those going from At-
lanta were: J. M. Fletcher, A.
Miles, W. A, Howe, Dr C. L.
McClung, Jim Jett, I. T. Grif-
fin, M. M. Griffin, T. S. McDuf-
fie, D. Jones, Jr., M. T. Mc-
Duff and daughter, J. T. Cald-
well, H. M. Welsh, Mrs. E. P
Hughes, J. S. Draper and T. J.
Swint. Others were expected
to join them from Queen City
and Bloomburg.
Quite a number of citizens from
Atlanta accompanied them to
Bloomburg.
May they have a good time.
A few more summers and the
wearers of the grey will meet no
more in reunions.
G. W. Fant was in Atlanta
Tuesday.
Tax Collector L. C. -Weaver
was over from Linden Tuesday.
Mr. Weaver reports the work of
rebuilding since the cyclone in
progress. Marrett & Sheffield
have bought the Nelson brick
and will occupy it in a few days.
The Cabin Drug Store will occu-
py the Marrett & Sheffield old
stand. C. H. Nelson is build-
ing on the corner where the
Cabin Drug Store stood. J. J.
Storey has rebuilt and is doing
business at the old stand. J. H.
Morris' store and the W. O. W.
Hall are being repaired. The
News congratulates the people
of Linden on their pluck and
energy.

For countless ages tHc sick and enfeebled have journeyed to the far away Palmetto
forests in search of health and strength. Every season of the year will find thousands
of these so-called incurablcs walking, riding and sleeping in the balmy, medicinally
charged atmosphere of these wonderfully health-giving, life=preserving trees.
They burn the dried leaves and inhale the invigorating fumes; they steep its berries
and drink the exhilarating broth.
THESE, PE.OPLE, GET WELL.
I have seen it with my own eyes. It is no unusual sight to see newcomers discard
their wheeled chairs and throw away their canes in one short week's time. I have
seen the same things happen from the use of Palmetto Compound. It
contains all the medicinal qualities of the Palmetto. It is made from the rich and
nutritious sap (or life blood) which sustains almost eternal life in this wonderful
evergreen plant. The root, the barii, the berry, all have been utilized'in the
manufacture of this great restorative medicine. , ,
WE TAKE GREAT PRIDE IN INTRODUCING THIS NEW DISCOVERY TO OUR
FRIENDS, CUSTOMERS AND THE PUBLIC AT LARGE. WE KNOW POSITIVELY THAT
IT WILL CURE QUICKLY AND PERMANENTLY ANY AND ALL DISEASES AFFECT-
ING THE STOMACH, LIVER AND KIDNEYS
or any complication such as nervousness, impure blood, dizziness, weak backs, insomnia, heart irregu-
larities and all complaints peculiar to women. As a tonic and general strength builder it bar, not a
rival in the medical world. We have had it tested in hospitals, as well as in private practice, with a
view of determining its true value, and we have seen, not one, but hundreds of people completely
cured that had been practically dismissed by the doctors as incurable, a record unsurpassed by any"
other remedy. Just a few weeKs use has been Known to cure some of the most chronic
and long standing diseases. It acts as a cleansing and healing balm to all of the internal organs,
rendering them clean, healthy and wholesome, at the same time CREATING NEW ACTION,
NEW LIFE AND A WORLD OF GENUINE VIGOR AND GOOD FEELING.
Be sure and ask for Drake's Palmetto Compound.
