RIGID RULES FOR FRESHMEN.

Students in the early days could discourse in 10
tongue save Latin. a freshman was warned mot
to wear his hat in the college yard unless it rains
halls or SHOWS, provided he be foot and have
not both hands full" The irst-year student was
also told that no freshman shall speak to
senior with his hat on; have it in d serior's
room. or in his if senior be there; all fresh
men shall be obliged to go on errands for seniors
graduates or undergraduates" Others than fresh
men had troubles of their own, for amy student
out after in the evening was be held response
BILE for all disorders that occurred unless he could
prove himself innocent
The system of 1oggng was early recognized in
the college In the beginning the president person
ally attended TO the hogging, which was observed
with great solemnity. Chief Justice Sewau tells Of
one that occurred in 1874 On that occasion the
overseers Of the college the president and fellows
the students and others who chose to attend, hav-
ing been called together in the library the SEN
tence was read in their presence and the Offender
required to kneel. The president then offered
prayer, after which the prison keeper at Cam

to the performance Of his part of the work"
The president then closed the Solemn exercise"
with another prayer.
Two general objects may be considered to consti-
tute the aim of Harvard for all time unchangfng
from administration TO administration instruction
and the advancement of learning Ten of the de-
partments are schools and their main work is
teaching. Several departments and numerous
minor establishments cannot be called schools; :;
thev serve 10 increase and preserve knowledge
rather than TO instruct and train young men though
they are all accessory TO the work teaching
DR. Lowell Will, doubt, be guided in principle
by these two Objects but it is expected that he
may introduce radical changes along subsidiary
lines. He has already announced a few of his
plans and the inaugural address will probably con-

REGARDING 'GoLD DUST ROW.

AT present the yard dormtories at Harvard do
not provide the modern accommodations demanded
by students who afford TO pay for the best OBJ
tainabe. a result of this demand luxurious
private dormitories sprang up along what is known
the gold dust row. Here the students who can
afford high rents live, though few of them go to
the historical college dormtories in their senior
years. and the students of less ample means live
in the yard. where the rentals are more modest.
Many Of the clubs are, moreover. in a way con
troed by the students living along the gold dust
row. Two classes Of students indistincty marked
have followed the yard and the private dor
uitory men This division often starts during the
first year at college, and though brdged in indi-

of a student. On of the influences pointed

Muss DeLoach Brought Back.

Saluda, Feb. 22.-"Muss' De-
Loach, about whom such an unneces-
sary 'muss' was raised over his re-
turn to this county from Georgia un-
der requisition papers, to be tried for
shooting William Gillion and Dolph
Jones some eight years ago, was yes
terday brought to Saluda and placed
in Jail. He had given it out to the
press of Georgia that the people OF
Saluda county were itching to lynch
him. His coming was we'll known, yet
not half dozen took the trouble to
go over to the Jail. His brother Will
was among the few to greet him and
now Will himself is locked up also,
under a warrant issued some time
last year.

''Muss' produced by his silly state
ments to Gov Hoke Smith, rejecting

turned to sympathy since his incarce-

We do not believe in depressing
the railroad, but we think it high
time city council was putting stop
to the practice of trains running
through town at such a high
speed. Bamberg is one of the
few towns on this division which
has no speed regulation, and
yet while we have been so
lenient with the railroad, we get less
out of them in the way of accommo-
dations than any town we know Of.
They won't even keep their right of
way through town clean, and as for
crossings, they have better crossings
out in the country than they have
right here on Railroad Avenue. But
this running of trains through town
so fast is dangerous, and should be
stopped at once.
