Theques|v. tion is already being discussed, and it is not improbable that prohibition & candidates will be in the field. Our business men should qiake complaint to the railroad commission about late trains.

Let us get behind the Southern railway and see if we can't get better service. The expulsion of a number of the cadets at Clemson college will no doubt be of much benefit to the institution. For some years, in fact, practically since the college was opened, the students have had things too much their own way. The question of discipline had to be decided definitely some time, and it is to be regretted that the issue was not made Bome time ago. True it looks hard to expel a great number of students for the offense of playing an April fool joke by leaving the college, but In this case there was no excuse for the cadets, as they had been warned that such action this year on their Dart would not be tolerated. We are glad that the question of who is to tontrol the college has been decided, md we Irak for Clemson to develop ponderfwly because of the firm tend taken by the faculty. It will >e noted that the son of one of the (trustees has been expelled, which ' looks like the faculty was doing their ?' whole <}uty without fear or favor. .

Augusta Herald, Sunday, April 5th. Shot By a Hog. Magistrate Joe Zeigler, who resides in the Hunter's Chapel section, was shot several days ago by a thorough bred, razor back, pine wood hog. The story is as follows: Mr. Zeigler had his gun leaning against the lot fence and the razor ? ? -1 1 J !j. J.. back struck tne gun ana causea it to ; go off, the load going through the fence and hitting Mr. Zeigler in the hand and face. Had it not been for the fence Mr. Zeigler probably would have been killed. Mr. Zeigler is getting along nicely and attended religious services at his . church last Sunday.?Branchville Journal. BEAUFORT WOMAN CREflATED. Hiss Henrietta Roberson Perishes in a Fire which Destroyed Her Home. Beaufort, N. C., April 3?This morning about 2 o'clock fire was discovered in the residence of Miss Henrietta Roberson. Before the fire companies could get a stream the building was enveloped in flames, cutting off the escape of Miss Roberson, who was burned to death in a most horrible manner. Miss Roberson was one of two sisters who made the Confederate flag captured from the 10th Mnwt-h Carolina regiment by the 5th Rhode Island, and- the return of which was the occasion of a noted celebration at Raleigh in June 1906. Fitting School Examinations. Editor The Bamberg Herald: I send below some results of our recent examinations in the Fitting School. Those whose average is 90 to 95 are gradest proficient, while those whose average is between 95 and 100 are graded distinguished. Manifestly this eliminates a large number of our most deserving students and is to that extent unsatisfactory. There has been a most gratifying improvement in scholarship this year. SENIOR CLASS.

Butler, Pa., April 5?No services could be held in the Reformed church at Petersville, in the "Cabbage Patch'' oil district of this country, because the congregation having gone into oil prospecting, struck a gusher last AV* fV> A StVlll ?v>L lr?f SO -foot frnm VS11 Ult UIU1V.11 iwvy UV J.WVV ? the building. The flow came in strong during the night and to-day a large force had to be kept at work to care for the oil. The lucky strike is a God-send to the struggling congregation, which is in debt for its property and owes its pastor back salary. The well, it is believed, will pay off all debts and provide a neat sum besides for future expenses. It is expected to settle down to not less than 100 barrels a day. JOHN F. FOLK ....AGENT FOR....

Linens are generally quiet, but some houses are doing a fair business. Burlaps are quiet in this market and quiet abroad. Fine white goods are showing an increased movement. \ . f L. I Mrs. A. McB.
