EIGHT Bows Dismissed.

Durham, N. c., Dec. 20.-Eight
young men were expelled from Trini-
ty college to-day. Trinity has been
free from hazing many years, but
last night seven boys cast lots with a
freshman to see which was to plunge
into a cold water tank. The fresh
man lost and was caught in the act
of paying the penalty by the faculty.
The young men pleaded not guilty
to hazing, but Pesident Kilgo de-
clared them guilty of gambling and
the freshman was charged with "in-
decent exposure" All were dis
missed.
President Kilgo, of Trinity, takes
issue with DR.. Eliot, of Harvard, as
to college self-government," de-
claring that the average college could
not be governed without the strictest
service of the faculty and that rs per
cent. of the students of the country
are unfit to be in the colleges, large
ly on account of the immoral indul-
gences of parents.

ASYLUM Conditions Bad.

Charleston, S. c., Dec. 20.-Charg-
ing that the newspaper agencies at
Columbia have minimized the de-
plorable conditions existing at the
State Hospital for the Insane at Co.
lumbia, Senator Neils Christensen,
Jr., chairman of the joint committee
of the legislature on the investiga-
ton, declared to-day that when the
facts become known, there will be a
strong popular demand for correc-
ton of these conditions.
Senator Christensen said that it
will require 100000 to. make the
necessary improvements for the &C
commodation and proper care of the
afflicted people. The death rate is
high, recovery rate abnormally low
owing to shockingly bad unsanitary
conditions, poor equipment, lack OF
proper treatment, and generally lax
methods in all departments of the
institution.
It is painful to make these criti-
cisms, said Senator Christensen, be-
cause there are a number of faithful
workers at the institution who have
been struggling hard with conditions
that only their superiors can remedy
and they are as anxious as anyone
to see them remedied.H This report
will make all these details clear and
afford some sensational reading when
the report is made public.

Having run for office several times
In South Carolina as Democrat and
been defeated, W. Boyd Evans, now
of Columbia, is seeking office from
the Republicans. He is candidate
for district attorney. This is not the
first instance in South Carolina where
white men have sought Office from
the Republican party after having
been turned down by their own peo-
Die when they sought Office at the
hands of Democrats. The question
is, if the people of South Carolina
did not think enough of Mr.. Evans
to elect him railroad commissioner,
would they elect him district attorney
If the matter was put to vote OF
the people whom Mr.. Evans would
serve in that capacity? Certainly
the white voters of the State should
have some choice in the matter, and
we hardly think they would choose
Mr.. Evans.

yesterday afternoon when Boy
O'Haro, the young negro desperate,

posse Since Tuesday last when

has continued.
Bloodhounds pursued him so close

One mile south of here, at the en-
trance to the Choctawatohie swamp,
a Gordon of 100 men surrounded
him. Wounded, barefooted and
tired, he saw that escape was i'm
possible. Rather than fall into the
hands of his pursuers he placed the
barrel of shotgun to his breast and
pulled the trigger with his toe.
His body was tied to buggy and
dragged to Abbeville and placed in
the court house, where it lay for sew
eral hours

death by poison and violence against

The editor of the Sun died sud-
denly. Some prominent men in the
customs died suddenly. You have
been taken suddenly i'll. Beware of
poison.
(Signed.) Sugar
Mr.. Parr was, in fact, taken sud-
denly i'll during the recent trial of
six former employees of the COM
pany, a day or two before the letter
was written. His illness was sup
posed to be an affection Of the
nerves.
Other letters received by him, he
said tonight, contained threats OF
death and injury by violence. He
had been told that he would be push
ed off a subway platform in front OF
a moving train and that he would be
shot.

intendent of the American Sugar Re-
fining Company's plant in Williams

usual two weeks time to withdraw
his plea of demur and continued at
liberty under bail.

It is high time the affairs of the
dispensary in this county are being
wound up and the profits on hand
turned over to the county, towns and
schools. The delay is caused by the
State authorities holding up some
accounts because of dealings of whis-
key firms in the past with the old
State dispensary. The county board
is anxious to wind up the business
but they cannot do so until the State
auditor allows this to be done. In
the meantime the money is lying idle
in the banks and doing nobody any
good.

TOY STOVE CAUSES TRAGEDY.
Child is Burned to Death and Her
Mother Fatally Injured.

East St. Louis, ILL.,, December 19.-
A toy stove, which her father gave
her to-day instead of waiting until
Christmas, resulted in the death OF
Minnie Coming, years old, the prob
ably fatal burning of the girls moth
er and the injury of her father.
The child tried to build fire in
the stove by pouring in kerosene, as
she had often seen her mother do in
a real stove. The child's clothes were
enveloped in flames as soon as
match was applied to the oily stove,
and she died within two hours. The
mother, in trying to extinguish the
blaze, was burned so severely that
physicians. despaired of her recov-
cry. The husband was burned about
the hands and face in rescuing his
wife. Firemen extinguished the
flames in the house.

In the Farmers Union Sun few
6ays ago we noticed a statement
which surprised US, and we imagine
it must be humilating to most peo-
ple to know that the farmers of the
limited States raise less per acre than
any civilized country in the world
except Russia. We are prone TO
boast of how much produce is grown
in this country per acre, out
the fact that we are so far behind in
this respect should make us feel
small.

The management of The Herald is
very anxious to make this paper a
semi-weekly. We have had this pro-
iect in mind ever since we installed a
linotype nearly two years ago, but
I'D to this time we have kept the
machine so busy on brief and other
work that a semi-weekly paper was
not practicable. Then, too, the mer-
chants of Bamberg have not given us
the advertising patronage to warrant
our printing twice-a-week. The stu
alton is that Bamberg can have any
sort of paper the business men are
willing to support. Our equipment is
sufficient for daily paper even, but
we are not willing to go into los
ing proposition. A semi-weekly pa
per would be a fine advertisement for
the town, and we are sure it would
be a good investment for every busi-
ness man in Bamberg to help us to
issue twice-a-week. In order to put
the matter squarely up to the busi'
ness interests of the. town, we will
change to a semi-weekly if we are
pledged additional advertising ol
$500 a year. Now, if you want
semi-weekly paper, get busy. We
will make the change the first OF
next month if the support is forth,
coming. If not, we will continue tt
print the best weekly in this section
and give you more for your money
than you can obtain elsewhere.
