I recognize that the author ities of the Citadel had powers which had been voluntarily conferred upon them by the 'patrons of the institution when they placted their sons in their care. I would support them to the last ditch did I believe that they had act ed failrly and squarely and were con scientious and "consistent In what they did. That he.y rushed headlong in ex pelling the boy3 is not questioned by those who are familiar with the facts. To tell the simple truth, the authori ties acted without deliberation. ; With one dash of the pen, they undertook to disgrace IS of the leading cadets of the school on evidence not worthy of consideration. . I said 'expelled. I houMhy used abetter term for the cadets were not expelled Until they had left,-being grossly insuted. Then the order twas passed. ; "The parents of the young cadets, when they were appraised of the true state of affairs, were indignant This Information came to them, not from the-young men themselves, but from others in no wise concerned. The facts were received from' disinterested Cit adel cadets who were aware of the status of things and from citizens of Charleston. The i parents - of the 13 young men then, communicated with one another and decided to go befor the authorities In a body, and demand to know on what grounds their 'sons had been 'expelled. This meeting was held last' Saturday at 1 o'clock n the Citadal in the office of the superin tendent. The records containing the testimony on which tho expulsion or der was given, was secured. After dis cussing the -situation then at length, the meeting adjourned until Wednes day, the 3rd, when a second confer ence will be held in Columbia. At this meeting attorneys will be present and definite action will b taken as to what course to pursue. It Is needless to add that the fight will be .carried to a finish. I oan my nothing further at this time until- after the meeting Wednesday. Then something will cer- tanily be doing." , . The Concert at the Second Presby terian Church To-Night.

Leslie-Carter, who will be seen at the Academy,, next Thursday night in "Du Barry," her greatest success, is chock full of superstition. It is always In evidence when she isspeak ing and happens--tomake an asser tion that sounds the least' bit boast ful. If she should mention that she is feeling uncommonly. well, she will im mediately seek a piece of . wood and rap. three times on, it. Usually one tap is sufficient, but when Mrs. Car ter's health is in superstitious jeo pardy, she invariably knocks three times. Persons who meet Mrs. Carter for the-first time and are unacquaint ed with this habit of punctuatin her conversation with rapplngs on wood' regara . it as somewhat unusual,1 but to herintlmates it is no new thing. Mrs. Carter laughingly explains: - "I am so full Of superstition, I suppose, because I am a Southerner. , All per sons who are bom in the south are superstitious to a greater" or lesser de gree. Perhaps I got it from my old mammy,'- who was at lean 1 70 years old when .1 was born. My mother had been her 'baby" before me. She was an old, woman and she wore a wnue cap aDout. her race, which was blacker than the proverbial ace of spades. There was a strong attach ment In those days' between master and slaves, and ' in 'many Instances there was genuine regret on the part of the latter when they left the homes in which they were born, to start out for themeselves In the world. But they -were all full Vf superstitious Ideas, and I suppose I lust naturally assalmllated some, of .their pet super sUtlons." .. Another net sunerstltlon -A' of ira Carter is that it is unlucky to have less than three sets of dresses for each part she plays. A So In "Du Barry," her success, she has a trio of gowns for each net. "And this superstition exienas 10 me employment Of -three maids to, look after the three sets of costumes. Says: Mrs. Carter on this Point: "How can people try on gowns " when they are rehearsing or playing? I could not, ; I'm sure. I have my costumes all ready before the play Is put in rehearsal three sets of them. A I have nothing to worry about when we are-rehearsing, and I always have something, 'fresh- to wear, Clothes need an Opportunity to re cuperate.

' .A Joyful surprise Is In store for the patrons of the Academy next Friday night when Max Figman presents the irresistible New York comedy success, "The Man on the Box." . :-4:AU'iA Max Figman has arrived. He Is one of ' the foremost, if not the fore most, comedians on the American stage, ' and - Is growing more popular every day. There is something about his acting that is very fascinating. He Is very earnest, and seems to get all his laughter without a strain. He Is Just' naturally funny, Hels ver satile, too. Comedy is his forte a but notwithstanding that, there are few actors, living who can equal; him in character portrayal. The secret of it all is, he is a student. He takes life and his profession seriously, and. is constantly trying to Improve himself and . his art. . His success this season has -oeen -amazmg. He hold the rec. business ord for business lh. a half a dozen theatres, for the season. "The man on the Box" was a Jolly good book, and the critics claim, it has made a fine play. The whole story Is there, with Its little romantic touch, and the laughter never ceases from the first rise of the curtain to Us fall on the finale. Manager John Cort, who A Is : ex ploiting: Mr. Figman, .has surrounded him with a fine company and given a splendid scenio production.

Owing to the fact that the na tional' officers are compelled to spend much time In this city, it Is customary for convenience sake, to choose them largely from the local chapters. This, and the fact that. the District has the largest representation , in the contl nental congress, leaves the control of the society largely In the hands of the District chapters,; and the adoption, of the slate by the District delegates will undoubtedly Indicate that the officers so nominated .will be elected. ,.
