The board of trustees of Furraan University,
at a meeting held last week requested
the resignation of Dr. G. B.
Moore, a professor in the institution.

that he be retained. The matter
came before the State convention, and
resolutions were passed expressing confidence
in Dr. Moore. He made a touching
speech to the convention, and will retire
voluntarilj*. He has many friends,
and if the trustees had insisted on their
request that he resign,a warm controversy
would have been the result.

Fires are getting to be somewhat frequent
in Bamberg recently. Last Friday '
night a house belonging to the cotton
mill and occupied by Emma Goodwin,
one of the operatives, was burned. The fire
started iu the kitchen, and is supposed to

bought.

News from the Citadel.
Tiie Citadel, Charleston, Dec. 7.?
The carnival is over and all attractions,
rhich were in the city, have departed
ilready. In spite of the inclemency of the
veather there was a good crowd in the
:ity, and all seemed to have a jolly time.
There was a incessant downpour of rain
luring the whole of the first four days of
he week and everyone was disappointed,
or it seemed that all the efforts of Chareston's
citizens were to be of no avail and
jala week would be a failure. Friday
ind Saturday, however, it cleared off
icauti fully, and the streets were crowded
vith pleasure seekers. The attractions
in hand were excellent and several very
iducative. Of course there had to be a
'wild man" and other necessary "fakes;"
mt, on the whole, the shows were very
;eod. The city council allowed the company
to erect its tents on the streets be,ween
King and Meeting streets and they
vere well patronized. The crowd on the
streets on the last two nights of the week
a'?sas lar??e as anv durinir the Exposition.
" O v w
It was with much regret to the corns of
jadets that the military parades were callid
off on account of the rain, for we much
irefer a march to recitations and other
icademic duties.
The Board of Visitors will meet next
Tuesday and much important business
ivill be transacted. It is hoped by the
ladets that they will grant us a leave of
it least a week for Christmas holidays.
Most of the military colleges are doing
;his now, and it is sincerely hoped that
3urs will do likewise.
The Alumni Association held its annual
meeting last Friday night, and was well
ittendcd. The association was addressed
by Mr. L. \V. Haskell, first honor graduate
class '89. Mr. Haskell is a member of
the general assembly, and is an exceedingly
eloquent speaker. After the address
there was held a banquet in the "mess
hall." Of course the cadets could not be
present on account of there being a great
quantity of what we call "contraband"
present. It was quite an enjoyable event
and one alumnus, remembering his days
as a cadet, proposed that the members of
the guard be treated with a supper. All
heartily seconded his proposal and the
guard certainly enjoyed what was sent.
Those on guard were : Officer of the Day,
Cadet Lieutenant Copelaud; Commander
and Sergeant of the Guard, Cadet Set*
geant Gettys; Corporals of the Guard, I
Tuniivs mid Itnnrnn- Orderlvof the Guard. I
Cadet McMaster. The following was
daintily served by several of the accademic
officers' wives:
Oyster Stew, "Mess Hall" Biscuit,
Rice, Turkey, Peas,
Ham, Bread. Ficklee,
Olives, Salaq, Celery,
Fruit,
Oranges, Apples, Grapes, Bananas.
Crackers, Coffee, Cheese,
Punch, Whiskey, Cigars.
Capt. McMaster delivered the regular
quarterly address before the Calliopean
Literary Society Saturday evening. His
subject was "An Xmas Trip in the Phillipines."
It was certainly very interesting,
and was enjoyed by all present. His lecture
concluded thelyceum course for 1902
conducted by the two cadet societies. It
has been of great benefit to the cadets and
it is hoped that it will be resumed next
year.
The North Carolina Military Academy
gives its Christmas Hop next Friday, and

Keakse, December 2.?Tho' the "dry
drought" in this section last July materially
cut off corn and cotton, the good
price of the latter enabled farmers to meet
their obligations fairly well, and the
large quantity of grass, pea, and piudar
hay harvested will greatly supplement the
short corn crop. And as for groundnuts,
potatoes, and sugar cane, whew! the
woods?no, the fields are full of them.
One farmer a few days ago said he had
hauled in fifteen two-horse wagon loads
of sweet potatoes and would grind 200 j
gallons of syrup; another said lie would
make potatoes enough to do his large I
! family one year and 200 gallons of syrup; I
while a third said he had "banked" plenty
of the tubers and boiled near 000 gallons
of syrup; and a fourth stated he had over
100 gallons of the "sweet stuff" and left
more "yams" in the patch than he made
last year.
And this is one secret of these sturdy
Three Milers lieing able to have so many
picnics, line dinners, and lish fries in the
summer and gay sociables in the winter.
Another reason is, the)- practice economy
?few of the women-folks, some of them
"to the manor born," employ any colored
help about the house, 'tend the gardens
and patches, and also hoe and pick cotton.
They avoid as far as possible Western
barns and meat houses, but alas! that
terrible malady: cholera, struck the hogs
here last spring and has been slaying
them by scores since, so that a good deal
of "Uncle Ned" will be brought from
Porkopilis, many home shambles being
little used this winter.
Some of theC5 tillers of the soil combine
the mercantile with their farming interests,
and after pushing both to the end of
the week, like Ned Brace of "Georgia
Scenes" notoriety, delight in fun and
merriment at home or abroad. One of
them?Uu Jay Kay?besides being a
Nimrod and an Isaak Walton, acquired
the role of "The Wizard of the Saltkehateliie"
last summer from the fact that
during the long, dry spell numbers predicted
when there would be a change and
rain, but Uu Jay Kay kept his counsels
unto himself untifthe morn of the 10th of
July, when he told a kinsman that it
would surely rain that day. The day
came in bright and was excessively hot
until late in the afternoon when a dark
cloud obscured "the sunset's radiant
glow," and ere 9 o'clock the rain was descending
over this entire section. On the
morning of the 11th some one observed
that the new weather forecaster must
surely have had some cabalistic sign to
direct him, when another said he would
lay a wager that he saw the mystic sun
dog which appeared on the evening of
the 9th about 15 or 20 degrees to the left
of "Old Sol." However, it may be; it is
true that he was the only one who* foretold
aright the coming of the needed rain,
knocking out in one, two, three order
owls, rain crows, aud Jesunofskies.

Denmark Doings.
Denmark, December 8.?Several weeks
ago J. L. JEL, of Midway, wrote a letter
for the Bamberg Times and in closing it
he told a joke in which an old woman
speaks of the Saviour as being a bigger
fool than herself. In referring to this I
1 -O.. ?f u oo a mimir> ftnrl
spoae very muuiy ui u. ao u .
writer, but advised him not to mar his
letters by such coarse stuff. He thinks I
am devoid of reason. Your correspondent
is also the correspondent of the Daily
State; frequently the Bamberg Times
copies my pieces from the State, so it
seems some persons don't agree with him.
Really, while I knew H. was a,mimic,
did not know he was a Solomon and that
wisdom would perish with him. Am
glad he professes to love Jesus: actions
speak louder than words. If you love the
Master reverence Him and introduce no
irreverent jokes into your letters. I spoke
kindly of the Midway writer when I said
he was one of the finest mimics in our
county, yet he declares I need more of the
milk of human kindness. Surely the man
must be lacking in gratitude. W'. H. W.
is advised by him "to go back and sit
dow n." J. L. H. ought to go aside and
kneel down, asking for more reverence
for "Him who is the holiest among the
mighty and the mightiest among the
holy." I am as fond of an innocent joke
as auy one. Would like to meet J. L. H.
again and hear him "take off" certain
men, but the best and most intelligent
persons in any community object to jokes
that pander to the spirit of irreverence.

Hartzog Hot Supper,
Haktzoo, December 9.?We still entertain
the thought of having the "hot
supper" at Hunter's Chapel school house
the night of the 2Gth of December. When
; this was lirst announced the name hot
supper was given to it, but it might be
called hot, oyster, or 'oppossum supper,
though it reaily means a place where a
lot of hot eating is to be done. All are
cordially invited to attend. The purpose
of this supper is to raise money to put
desks in our school house, and the community
at large should be interested in
this move. If there is anything that adds
to a community it is the good condition
of their school house. Let's not be any
ways backwards "at home or abroad,"
but work to enjoy this Christmas offer1
ing. Be sure and remember the place,
date, and names. All will be made glad.

News from Woffbrd College.
Wokroro College, Spartanburg,
December 8.?There is nothing doing on
Wofford's campus at present. Even that
favored game called tennis, which has
been holding sway over the students this
fall, has yielded to the cold days of early
winter, and the lovers of that game are
suffered to lay aside their rackets until
spring shall summon them forth once
again.
Even*though we have spoken of the
stillness of the campus at this period,
there conies to us next week several
things which will break into the monotony
of the conditions existing.
The gymnasium exhibition will be held
on Monday evening at the gymnasium.
This, the first exhibition of the year,
will be added to by the new performances
which the team have mastered. .
On Wednesday night at the court house
a famous murder trial will be "pulled off"
by the glee club. WTith able lawyers on
either side, with testimony of the old
darky as well as of the straightforward
witness, the trial promises to be exciting
and full of interest. The jurors will be
prominent men. Dr. D. D. Wallace and
Prof. J. A. Gamewell will have their
names on the jury as well as J. Pierpont
Morgan and Mr."Dooley." The Coroner,
that "slave" (?) of the people, will be heard
as he relates to the public the many
arduous duties which are incumbent on
him.
After these two interuptions of our
daily routine, examinations will be staring
us in the face. Then when this period
of tribulation has passed we will be ready
for that great and glorious time called
Christmas! President Snyder and the
other members of the faculty are being
praised and cheered by the whole student
body for the long vacation promised them.
Two weeks of fun and enjoyment! This

Mr. T. F. "VVatkins, '02, spent several
hours ou the campus last week. Way

ball team last year aud right half back on
the team of the University of Virginia
this year.
We notice by the papers that Mr. N.
T. Prince, '02, has entered the Methodist
conference on trial. Mr. Prince is remembered
here as a hard worker and a
conscientious young man. Mr. P. C.
Garris, '00, has also entered the Methodist
conference on trial.
President Snyder and Prof. Clinkscales
attended conference during the past week.
