Insane Burglar Killed.

C. NJ. Babb, a native OF Germany,
about so years of age, and jeweler
by trade, broke into W. E. Avery's
jewelry store, in the very heart OF the
business section of Columbia, Friday
night. Babb's mind was unbalanced.
He was shot and mortally wounded by
q policeman while attempting to es-
cape from the store.
Babb died at the hospital Sunday.
The Columbia Germans took the mat
ter in hand. They found that Mrs.
Babb was also insane. She had been
shut up in a room in her house Tor
days. Conditions were fearful and she
seemed starving. Persons who wenl
in noticed bumps on the carpet. They
investigated and found a quantity OF
small pieces Of jewelry and precious
stones stuck under the carpet.
It is said the cause Of Babb's insan'
ity was that he had recently lost a
fortune. He deserted from the Ger
man army when his service was nearly
.comp.eted to come tothis country. Re-
Gently a relative left him $4,000 IN
Germany, and he could not go there TO
take possession Of his property.

The Clemson College Sensation.

The Clemson College Sensa''oh''
According to reports sent OF sensa-
tional developments are expected Wnen
the board of trustees of Clemson col
lege take up tn investigation OF the re-
cent trouble as result OF which the
entire sophomore class withdrew from
the institution. From reliable sources
it is learned that friction existed for
some time between the faculty and the
student body and resignation Of mem
bers of the faculty are almost sure to
follow. Just what part President
Hartzog will play in the dispute re-
mains to be seen, although 1t is claim
ed that another president may take
his place.
Had it not been for the prompt
work of members Of the board OF trus'
tees the bitterness expressed in GER
tain circles gives strong evidence that
there is something radically wrong. 1t
has been stated in very positive
way that Judge William C. Benet, who
recently resigned as judge OF the flrst
judicial circuit, would be rendered the
position as head Of the institution.
Judge Benet's name was before the
hoard at the time of President Hart
zog's election, but Senator Tillman's
influence went to Mr.. Hartzog, and he
got the place.
Whether President Hartzog will re-
sig1, Is a matter Of uncertainty, al
though the news comes from a pretty
good source that Judge Benet will be
offered the position. 1t is likely that
somebody connected with the college
will have to 90, as the unsatisfactory
conditions at the college have excited
much feeling.
Every effort has been made to quiet
the disturbances and while other
classes have agreed to remain tempo
rarily it is known that they will not
stay unless professors who have made
themselves unpopular are asked to re-
sign. From the present outlook the
chances are that another president
will have to take charge and Judge
Benet is the most available name now
before the public.

GOOD: BOOKS FOR: G1RBs.
BY no Means astsNumerouus as Those fol
Their Brothers.

Where are the books for girls? Adults
books there are and books for boys by
the carload, $but where is the book for
the young girls? Boys books, tales of
hunting, adventure and sport, abound.
They are good books, too, 5'sanc,
healthy" full of fine spirit and life.
But the girl, what does she read? The
lions that it is given to the mind of mis-
guided man to conceive or to perpetuate.
It must be this or else the literature Of
the adult; and surely the novels written
for mature minds, for men and women
who have some knowledge of the world
and powers of discrimination, are not
good reading, in any sense Of the word,
for 16-year-old girl in the formative
period Of her life.
But for all the great parade and pratt
ing of emancipated women, it neverthe-
less remains a fact that the great ma
jority of Twentieth century opinion is
virtually Oriental in it's conception of the
young girl.
The world today is world for boys,
men and women. Of all humans, the
young girl, the 16-year-old, is the least
important or at least is so deemed.
Wanted: a champion. Wanted: the dis
coverer and poet of the very young girl.
Unimportant she may now appear to
you, who may yet call her by her first
name without fear and without reprOach.
But remember this, you who believe
only in a world of men and boys and
women: the very young girl of today is
the woman Of tomorrow, the wife of the
day after and the mother OF next week.
She only needs to put up her hair and let
down her frocks to become a very impor-
tant person indeed.
Meanwhile she has no literature;
meanwhile, faute de mieux, she is try
ing to read "Ouida" and many other
books intended for maturer minds; or,
worse than all, she is enfeebling her
mind by the very thin cruel purveyed by
the mild-mannered gentlemen and ladies
who write for the Sunday school libra
