State College Expanding.

There is a growing sentiment at the
South Carolina college to restrict the
age of admission Of students to 16. The
minimum age is now Is, but 1t Is
thought with the better advantages Of
fered in recent years by the schools
of the State there Is no good reason to
encourage a young man to leave home
before he is 16. 1t is argued that this
raising of the age requirement is espe-
cially a proper move on the part OF the
South Carolina college, whether or not
it should be followed by other colleges
in this State, since the South Caro-
lima college should seek more and more
10 raise its standards and develop into
a university of recognized leadership
and headship in the State. The most
practical way to raise the standard Is
to raise the age Of admission and,
with mature students, accomplish more
work each year.
AS some progress towards the uni
versity idea, it may be noted that the
South Carolina college has already de-
veloped two professional schools OF ac-
knowledged standing, the law school
and the normal school, The enrolment
in the former during the last session
was "a. in the latter 38, besides ten
teachers who took the short spring
course. This shorter course for teachers
begins each year about the first OF
April and is designed specially to meet
the needs of teachers Of short term
schools who will avail themselves OF
six weeks or two months of college
work

ATERRIBLE TRAGEDY
Terrible Shooting Scrape in Which
Mans Head is Shot of.

Dillon, Specialize old school
house, one mile south of Latta and oc-
cupied by a Croatan family by the
name Of Jacobs, was the scene Of a
fearful tragedy Friday night about 9
o'clock. Bob Wallace, foreman Of the
Dillon Herald Office, lies dead with the
whole back of his head blown away,
his young wife a widow and his four
little children fatherless. Friday af-
ternoon Wallace, in company with a
Mr.. Biggs and young man by the
name Of Jackson, all riding in one ve-
hicle, left Dillon. One of the party
claims they went to Latta, and on
their return, as the buggy got opposite
the house mentioned above, Wallace
asked that they hold up a moment.
He went into the house, and few
seconds afterwards there was the re-
port Of a gun. When the house was
entered Wallace was found lying
dead upon the floor, his pistol near
his body. There were two or three
females in the house, Wallace's sister
being one Of them. They did not hest.
tate to say that Jacobs did the shoot
ing, but rumors are conflicting as to
what provoked the tragedy. The in.
quest is being held this morning, after
which Wallace's body will be brought
here for interment This makes tho
third young married man shot to
death within the past twelve months,

DELIVERY TEAM RUNS
 OVER A CHILD.

A young man in charge of delivery wagon ran over q child on East Main street this morning and for time con siderable commotion prevailed, people running from every direction and in quiring If the little one was crushed to death. A man picked the child up in his arms and after rubbing the dust and dirt off it's hands and face, he ap- peared to be all right It was said the child belonged to Charles Musante of 94 East Main street. The tot didn't appear to be over years old, too young to be allowed on the public streets alone.
 It is not likely that the driver was to blame, for the young one emerged from behind team and he didn't have much time to do anything toward com ing to a standstill, but he had lots of chance to stop after his team passed over the child and render such assist ance as might have been necessary. The law requires drivers of vehicles who run over people to do this, and those who neglect to do so leave them selves open to serious charge. even though they were not responsible for the mixup. Officer Magner was on the ground early, but inasmuch as nobody was hurt no arrest was made.

KINGS DAUGHTERS
 AND THEIR WORK

Very many people in Waterbury are already familiar with the work of the society known as the Kings Daugh- ters. It is an undenominationa or ganization of women who pledge themselves to Hook up and not down, to look forward and not back, to look out and not in. and to lend a hand" to those who are in need, bodily or spiritual, whenever occasion offers. They are initiated by short, simple religious service. and their badge is a small siver Maltese cross, bearing the letters ''I. H. N.." the initials of the society's motto, "In His Name" WO- men wearing this badge are to be seen all over the world, and their acts of quiet, unobtrusive kindness are le~ zion. The Central Band of Kings Daughters in this city embraces large circle of members from the vari. ous churches. and, as an organization, does n large amount of benevolent work. Many of those who are aided by these women are of the sort that shrinks from publicity. who would not consent to receive assistance at all if 1t were not given in the most delicate way-something which could hardly be done as well by any other chari- table or philanthropic agency. The women of the Kings Daughters have opportunities of finding out these peo- pie who would never apply for aid elsewhere, and of aiding them in ways that do not cause them any humilia- ton. But, as might be expected, the calls upon them far exceed the means at their disposal, and they are obliged, from dime to time to call for contri- buttons to their work They now propose to give an entertainment on the evening of April 21. to raise mon- ey for their needs. The nature of the entertainment will be announced a lit- tie later. They hope for liberal pat ronage on the part of the public, and that not only will the contributions of money increase. but that wider in terest' in and knowledge of their work may result from new presentation of their claims on the generosity of the people of the city.

LABOR FAIR OPENED.
Street Parade With Music and Red
 Fire Large Attendance.

The first grand fair of the Central Labor union was opened in Jacques's auditorium last night under most fa- vorable auspices. There was large attendance. Before the fair was opened there was street parade in which a number of union men, headed by the Waterbury Military band, par ticipated. Much red light and fire was burned along the line of march. .
 The hall was prettiIy and attrac> lively decorated for the occasion, the decorators having done their work well. The various booths were neatly arranged and were tastefully decorated and attracted much attention during the evening. Different manufacturers are displaying their union made goods and are giving away samples of them each night. J. J. Bagley & Co is giv- ing away samples of Hazel Nut tobac- co to all persons who want it, and in cidentally they are giving away eight French briar pipes to the eight persons who guess each night the nearest to the number of samples which are given away each night The winners last night were as follows: J. Garbareno, sos Bank street; NJ. J. Ryan, Cottage ! place; second division, Luke Bowling, 192 Baldwin street; Mrs J. A. Boice, B William street; J. Penere, 9O East Main street; third division, J. Begnal, 692 East Main street; fourth division, 1 R. Eldridge, S5 Blue Hill avenue, Bos- ton, Masa; Martin Fitzpatrick, SIS l Baldwin street
 The stage attractions were much en- joyed by the audience. They are of q novel nature, unusually good, and diff ferent from the usual line of entertain ments at fairs.
 Lallier's orchestra furnished fine music for the dancing, which is a fea- ture of the fair. The fair will be held every night this week.

An informal concert and dance was given by J. ]. Derwin to his pupils and their friends in Fraternity hall last night and was largely attended. 1t was of a very enjoyable nature and a pleasant evening was spent by all present. The opening number of the fine concert program was selecuons bv the Derwin Mandolin orchestra, whose playing was marked by splen- did harmony. Miss Alice M. Pack ard scored a decided hit with her pam io selections while a mandolin ana piano duet by the Misses Laureuta Mulligan and May Fleming was played in artistic style and was deserving Of the unstinted applause which 1t re- ceived. Among the most enjoyable selections were those by the mando- llns. mandola and guitar quartet, consisting of J J. Derwin and Master Leo Bouaclxer, mandolins; Eugene Egan. mandola: Master Herman Kun xel. guitar. Master Leo Bouacker and Miss A. &. Byrne rendered a man. dolin and piano duet very pleasingly. Master Daniel Blansfield and J. J. Derwin played banjo and guitar duet and had to respond to several en- cores. After the concert dancing was enjoyed.

POLICE COURT DOINCS.
Prisoner Who Talked to the Court
 During His Trial.

The spectators at this mornings ses. sion of the city court were treated to flight of oratory from the sole pris- oner in the dock, Frank Boyle who was charged with drunkenness. breach of the peace and resistance. Boyle was arrested at 12 o'clock last night by Officer Brickel, who found him fighting with Mir Coffey, who runs saloon on Grand street Not contented with hghting Coffey, he started to fight the officer. He resisted the officer all the way to the police station and 1t took three officers to put him in a cell. This morning Boyle presented sorry sight
 His left eye was badly discolored and so badly swollen that he could hardly see out of it. His face bore numerous cuts. He stated that he was slightly intoxicated last night, but was not drunk, that he had no fight with Cof- fey, and that the officer had no reason to arrest him except that he was seek ing glory. He resisted the officers eff forts to handcuff him as he was going along peacefully and he was just as good a man as the officer. The officer had punched him ill the eye in putting him in the cell. He did not resist but he said, ''I could have if wanted to-" Boyle ended his speech by telling how long he had worked, and by presenting letters of some nature to Judge Peas ley. The judge evidently did not thin1 much of the letters, for he fined Boyle S5 and costs for drunkenness, the same for breach of the peace and 30 days at hard labor in the workhouse for re- sistence. You are too severe was Boyle's parting remark to the judge.
