The expulsion of number of the
cadets at Clemson college will no
doubt be of much benefit to the in
stitution. For some years, in fact,
practically since the college was
. opened, the students have had things
too much their own way. The ques-
tion of discipline had to be decided
definitely some time, and it is to be
regretted that the issue was not made
some time ago. True it looks hard
to expel a great number of students
for the offense of playing an April
fool joke by leaving the college, but
in this case there was no excuse for
the cadets, as they had been warned
that such action this year on their
part would not be tolerated. We are
glad that the question of who is to
control the college has been decided,
and we look for Clemson to develop
wonderfully because of the firm
stand taken by the faculty. It will
be noted that the son Of one of the
trustees has been expelled, which
looks like the faculty was doing their
whole duty without fear or favor.

Shot By q Hog.

Magistrate Joe Zeigler, who re-
sides in the Hunters Chapel section,
was shot several days ago by a
thorough bred, razor back, pine wood
hog. The story is as follows:
Mr.. Zeigler had his gun leaning
against the lot fence and the razor
back struck the gun and caused it to
go off, the load going through the
fence and hitting Mr.. Zeigler in the
hand and face. Had it not been for
the fence Mr.. Zeigler probably would
have been killed.
Mr.. Zeigler is getting along nicely
and attended religious services at his
church last Sunday.-Branchville

Oil Well on Church Lot.

BUTLER, Pa, April 5-No services
could be held in the Reformed church
atPetersville, in the Cabbage Patch
oil district Of this country, because
the congregation having gone into
oil prospecting, struck a gusher last
night on the church lot, 50 feet from
the building. The flow came in strong
during the night and to-day a large
force had to be kept at work to care
for the oil. the lucky strike is a
God-send to the struggling congrega-
ton, which is in debt for it's property
and owes it's pastor back salary. The
we'll, it is believed, will pay off all
debts and provide a neat sum besides
for future expenses. 1t is expected
to settle down to not less than lou
barrels a day.
