Haz ng at "The CitadcL"
We notice in the Charleston
Kvening Post that the upper classmen
at the Citadel Academy
l?ve '"resoluted" against hazing
u ?? .1
the recruits or rats, as ,tne
lordly "'eld cadets" contemptuously
dab the new-comers. Well, from
%vhat we have heard, it is higli
time something were done to put a
stop to the pernicious practice of
isufrng at this institution. Since
the authorities seem to l>e unahle
or unwilling to check the outran
perpetrated upon the innocent
victims of hrutal sport it is
weU "thsrt the cadets themselves
have taken the matter in hand,
dor unle:-s something l?e done to
propitiate public opinion the institution
is doomed, and that
right speedily.
The step taken hy the upper classmen
may prove a sop to Cer<?erus,
lnit their action would have
l?oen far more effective had they
pissed their virtuous resolutions
at the l?eginning of the term?
the very first day?and nipped in
the bu<| the cruel and cowardly
maltreating of the new cadets.
Now that they have laul their
4"fun" and caused many of the
large and promising freshman
class to leave the institution in
disgust, their high-Hown abstractions
rather savor of "death-bed
repentance." The hazing season
is pretty well over the first week
or two of the session and the
present upi>er-classnicn can very
cheerfully forego further efforts at
vivisection, whereas hy next session
an entirely new set?those
of the present fourth class who
survive the ordeal?will l?e only too
?" u'Vi ??nr^ til)
eager l< lvim -.- umi nn.ii6- ....
t:i** n**xt class of "rats"?according.
to the queer law of coni{ ensation
that seems to ^xist at
the Citadel?to respect any promises
or assurances given hy their
tormentors of the present year.
After all, if discipline is to l>e
maintained it i- the authorities
who must he looked to to do it,
and not the student-IM>dy, which
is governed hy impulse more often
than 1 y prin.-iplc of right or wrong.

Corn Growing Contests.
We hear a lot of Itoasting alnjut
big corn yields produced hy boys' j
corn clubs in other counties, no- (

county of Florence claiming to 1

have grown two hundred bushels
of corn on a single acre of land.

unofficial sources that the 1k>vs of .
Williamsburg have achieved results

notice. Then there is Dr Williams
to hear .from yet on behalf of g

The results of l?oth these contests
are awaited with no small degree ii
of interest.

THIS IS A BIG COUNTRY.
On* Man Traveled Away Out West as
Far as Boston.
The ideas of foreigners regarding
the size and characteristics of this
country do not 6eera to grow less
amusing with age, and the statement
that in London there are people
who think New York is a city
of Indians is not so farfetched as
Bome consider it.
The writer met at Long Branch
last summer and Englishwoman,
and a cultured Englishwoman at
that, who had gone there directly
after landing from a steamer in
New York. Having casually mentioned
that I was born in Brooklyn,
she remarked that she had met
some people named Henderson who
lived on Long Island and wondered
if I knew them. 1 asked in ^at
part of Long Island they lived ad
she naively answered, "Oh/ wn
i near the business section!"/
j A young Englishman wh...v- cousin
is in the grain business in this
I * t?.
City came over to see ms reiawve
; and also to see something of the
| country. One of the first places
I suggested to him was Niagara falls,
! and at train time the Englishman
! presented himself minus overcoat
i and hand bag.
| "Where's your grip?" asked his
| cousin.
I "Why, can't we run over and see
! the falls and get back tonight?"
he asked.
Ob being assured that he could
not he began asking questions regarding
distances and ended with,
"How Dig is this state ?"
When he was told that it was
| bigger than the whole of England
i there were no fitting words to express
his wonderment.
Another young Englishman came
to New York during a very warm
Indian summer. He spent a week
there and then went on to Canada,
returning to New York in March
to embark for England.
He was asked the inevitable question,
"How do you like America?"
His answer was: "it's a nawsiy
country. 'Arf the year you are
roasted, and the other 'arf you aro
ap to your waist in snow."
A New Yorker went to Brazil
last year to put in a few months on
one of the cattle ranges. One day
a young Irishman rode into camp
to see the New Yorker, saying that
he had ridden forty miles to do so,
as he wished to inquire of him as to
the health of his brother, who left
Ireland ten years before and was
settled in New York city. There
was no quesjjon in his mind but
that the two would know each
other.
Still our foreign cousins are not
so much more vague on these subjects
than are some natives. For
instance, ;i man in Maine whom I
met last dimmer told me in the
course of a conversation that he
had "been west as far as Boston."
