Yesterday that President Butler had been unduly
severe in suspending the three sophomores VINO
confessed that they had taken part in hazing on
the night OF the sophomore smoker.
The suspended men are Harry Blur, Lewis

Nathan Blur lawyer, of No. 30 Nassau-st Beck
is the sophomore who had rib broken in a hight
with a freshman al Fort George the day Of
the. smoker. Both Beck and Brown held scholar
ships at college AS they suspended for
year they will probably not return 10 Columbia
all
The hazing for which they were suspended con-
sisted in catching individual freshmen on the street
with view to compelling them 10 furnish enter
tainment al the ''soph" smoker.
Some members of the sophomore class say that
the ringleaders in the hazing have not been hit
by the suspension but those less actively engaged.
They that IL is ridiculous TO suppose that Blur,
who of the smallest men in his class, could
have taken prominent part.

of insurance and auctioneering. AL
Gammill has lived in Decatur county
for nearly fifty years, and knows nearly
every man, woman and child in this
