More trouble at Clemson. We
hoped that when year ago about
half the corps of cadets was
dismissed it would tend to tighten
up the discipline of the institu-
tion, but the trouble seems to be
deep-rooted. This time the spirit
of lawlessness took the concrete
form of hazlng, in which a
cadet from Florence was severely
bruised and otherwise maltreated,
and three cadets have been sus-
pended from the college as the
result.

Local News VS.. General
News.

Said one of our subscriber
recently: 81 like your paper al
right, only you don't give erougt
State and general news" 1t i;
u fact that we do not give much
State and general news; we do not
attempt to do so, as we could moi
compete with othe- papers that
can supply double the quantity
of State and general news at
about half the price of THE
RECORD. No, we make a spec
ialty of local news. We try to
give our readers, week in, week
out, what we can gather personal
ly or get through our correspon-
dents, and we may say without
egosism that We do that fairly
well.
Look through the columns of
The RECORD this week, or any
week, and see how many sections
Of the county are represented,
how much news a single issue
contains-not news about far-off
places and strange people, but
live topics within our own scope
of observation and people whom
We know personally. Of this par
ticular kind of news-Williams-
burg county news-we say with
ont any fear of contradiction that
THE RECORD contains more by
long odds than all other news.
papers combined.
Local news, county news. That
the excuse for the existence of
a ccunty newspaper. If man
wants the news of the whole
whole country let him take a
twice or thrice week paper that
will keep him plentifully supplied.
But for county paper to fill
ITS columns with remote hap
pen;ngs would defeat the very OBJ
iect of its existence. From a
UNIQUE position among newspapers
it would degenerate into cheap
imitation Of the SINH weekly edi-
tion Of big daily.
We could give our readers any
amount of "foreign" news anG at
q small fraction of the cost OF
"home" news; in fact, we can
buy it already set up in plates
or on ''patent insldes,' but we
believe that the vast mojority ap-
. preciate the effort We are making
to give them a high class, all

though the additional expendi-
ture of energy and cash required
has so far failed to meet with
adequate return, still We toll on,
content with little more than
enough to pay running expenses,
with the vagrant hope that some
of these days our life work may
be Justly appraised and rewarded,

Leo, December 1:-Quite
large crowd was in attendance
last Friday night, November 25,
at the Prospect school building
and all report a good time and
say that the occasion was tho.
roughly enjoyed by all present.
The auditorium was taxed to its
utmost capacity and many
couldn't gain admittance and

was ideal and people from far

This play seemed to be ENJOY

hit. It brings in the crusty old
bachelor uncle and his niece who
loves the handsome and dashing
Young Charles, who, however,
has no money, and then the
blundering Irishman who makes
mistakes and in trying to rectlty
them involves himself in many

 Fernald of Poland, lrepublican) 72,1l7; Obadiah Gardner of Rockland (demo- crat) 64,993. The same places in 1904 gave Cobb Republican, 75,334; Davis
 (democrat), 49,416. The remaining places in 1904 gave Cobb 1880; Davis,
 73O. The republicans carried all four congressional districts by about the usual pluralities, Amos L. Allen being reelected in the 1st and E. c. Burleigh in the Sd, while John P. Swasey was chosen to succeed Charles l.. Littlefeld in the 2d, and Frank G. Guernsey the late Llewellyn Powers in the 4th dis trict. The Legislature will be safely republican Tn both branches. The vote was the heaviest since 1888, running well up to 40, ,0O0. The gain, however, was mainly by the democrats, the par ty vote increasing more that 13,O00 ov- CT that of 1904, while the republican vote fell off about 250O. The republi- can plurality is the smallest ever record ed in presidential year in 25 years. The two parties split even in the 20 cities, each capturing 10. The voting was particularly heavy in the rural districts, where the democrats, largely through the popularity of MT Gardner among the farmers, made great gains.

OBITUARY.
JAMES r. WHEELER.


 James +. Wheeler, an account of whose death we copy from The New Britain Daily Herald of September 3, was born in the town of Huntington, June 10, 1888. Ten years later Marcus Wheeler with his wife, Sarah Terrill, and their five boys, moved from Lower White Hills in Huntington to the Amos Terrill homestead in Hanover, James as next to the oldest boy. His mother had left this place 23 years before as bride. He attended Newtown acad- emy during the winter of 1853 and 1854, when the late J. Homer French, L. l.. D., was principal and the late Rev c. l.. Bostwick was assistant. After teaching school for several win ters in Newtown and Brookfeld he spent 10 years in Birmingham, two years in New Britain and then located in Southington in the year 1873, where he resided until his death. His funeral was largey attended at his late home in Southington on Thursday, September 10, Rev B. F. Hurlburt, pastor of the Huntsville Baptist church, officiating. Rock of Ages" and "The Solid Rock" were touchingly rendered by two young ladies from the chorus choir of that church.
 James F Wheeler. who resided in New Britain some years ago, died at his home on Buckland avenue in South ington, September g, aged 70 years and three months. He had been sufferer for several years from dia- betes, but his death resulted from a stroke of apoplexy, which occurred one week ago. He leaves beside his wife, one daugher, who lives at home, and one son, Frank S., who lives in Plain vile, and is president of The Trumbull Electric Co. of that town. He also leaves two brothers. one living in the West, and Henry J., who lives on Maple street. MT Wheeler was among the earliest members that formed the Plainville Baptist church and served that church as deacon for number of years. This church was organized by the late Rev MT Walker soon after he left this city. The funeral was held at his late residence, Southington, Thursday afternoon, September 10, at 2 o'clock. Interment was in Oak Hill cemetery.-[The New Britain Daily Herald.
