- Chester. March 4: At meeting of
the board of trustees of ErSkine col
lege held here last night in the parlor
of the A. r. =. church, it was decided
to rebuild the Wylie Home for Girls on
the campus of the Erskine college at
Due West, and also to arrange 1t for
the presidents home and to give him
personal supervision of the girls. A
committee consisting of President Mof-
fatt and Profs. Grier and Reid was ap-
pointed to proceed with the immediate
erection of this building. 1t will cost
around $4,000 and will stand on the
spot where the burned Wylie Home
stood. The Wylie Home for Girls was
burned during the Christmas holidays
and the meeting here last night was
principally for the purpose of making
plans for rebuilding it. The agitation
for a presidents home has been under
way for some time, and so the board
just decided to merge the two and have
the president live in the girls home
and have supervision of them. This
is thought to be more satisfactory than
the present way and will meet with
general satisfaction throughout the
synod.

Magistrate McElhaney Gives His
Views on an Interesting Subject.
Editor Yorkville Enquirer:
| see in yesterdays issue Of The En-
quirer, how a cooking main was brok-
en- up by officers of the law, near
Bowling Green on last Tuesday, and
have been getting right smart cursins
behind my back for alleged neglect of
duty in failing TO prevent similar
breach of the peace near this place
recently. l would like to say few
words on the subject.
In the first place, / did not know
anything about the fight that took
place near here until after IL was over,
and as TO what steps l might have
taken had the matter been reported in
advance, 1 will not attempt to say, be-
cause under the circumstances 1t might
be desirable to attempt any one Of sew
eral things.
In section 29S of the criminal code,
cockfghting within three miles of a
chartered school or institution of learn
ing is made a misdemeanor, and this
is about the only specific law we have
on the subject, except that those en-
gagged may be prosecuted for gambling.
if betting can be proved, or maintaining
a nuisance if the offense is kept up
continuously.
have legal advice that l consider
good that one of the best ways of put
ting a stop to cockfighting under the
statutes as they now stand, is to nave
every institution of learning in the
county chartered. This can be done at
a nominal cost and as it would be pref
ty hard for the fighters to find a suit
able place more than three miles from
a school house, there would be law for
future offences.
There is a common impression that
COckfighters may be indicted for cruel
ty to animals; but my information is
that such an indictment would not lie
for the reason that the law does not
regard the cock as an animal making
the distinction that it is fowl"
| want to say that | recognize that
there are good, honest men among the
cockfighters. and l have some strong
personal friends, who enjoy the past
time. However, l regard this practice
as having a very bad influence on the
young, and the public welfare seems
to demand it's suppression, to which
end as a sworn officer of the law, ]
always stand ready to do the best
know how
If any reader of The Enquirer is able
10 offer a better or more practical suS-
gestiOn as to how to stop fighting than
has been offered above. | would be
glad to hear from him.

a tonic to build them up, 1t must be
true also of animals. II their systems

Honored BY The Red Cross.

At the late annual meeting of the
American Red Cross, of which Presi-
dent Taft is president, it was recon-
mended that silver medals be given to
DR.. F. d. Sheppard and Rev. S. R.
Trowbridge for their services in connec-
ton with the Adana massacres last
April. Both men are American Board
missionaries. DR.. Shepard is one of the
foremost physicians in the Turkish en-
pire, and has been in the Aintab more
than rs years. Just as the people of
that city were ready to celebrate the
quarter-centennial he was summoned to
a poor patient in Aleppo and hurried off
saying, THAT mans life is worth more
than all this celebration, so the exer-
cises had to be postponed week. Then
more than 5000 people gathered, rep
resenting all nationalities and religions,
to do honor to himself and wife. All
the speakers paid glowing tributes to
the work of the hospital, which he open
ed in Aintab in 1883, and emphasized
the fact that he could easily have won a
fortune had he used his remarkable
skill simply to get gain. Mrs. Shepard
has rendered valuable service in the in
dustrial training of women. In the
linen embroidery work in Aintab alone
so, 900 women are employed, of whom
20, 900 are Mohammedans.
Mr. Trowbridge, the son of mission
airy, is young man and his rescue of
the pupils of one of the American
schools, when he rushed into crowd of
Infatuated ruffians and stopped them
from destroying the buildings and the
houses adjoining, would doubtless EMIT
lie him to Red Cross medal. But his
single acts of herCism were only a small
part of what he did. In caring for the
hundreds of refugees afterwards both
he and DR.. Shepard showed executive
ability of high order. They are still
directing relief work, especially the re-
building of homes for the homeless.

Fines In Germany.

The German workman who the other
day was fined in London police
court probably considered that he had
genuine grievance when he complain
ed that, in addition to the fine. his
compulsory attendance at the court
had lost him a days pay. For they
do these things better-at any rate,
from the deinquents' point of view
in the fatherand. For what may be
described as a trivial offense the
worker is not compelled to attend the
court, and the amount of the fine is
collected from him at his house by a
policeman. In the event of a more Sc
rious though still comparatively ven
ial breach Of the law. punishable by
a short term of Imprisonment, justice
is satisfied if he works off the time
by installments Sundays and holidays.

A Board of Trade.

The executive committee of the Mont
pelier Board Cf Trade is arranging for
the first annual banquet of the board,
which will be held Tuesday evening,
February %, if present plans are car
ried out. The date for the annual ban
quet of the Middlebury Board of Trade
has not yet been fixed-and is not liable
to be, as the aforesaid board does not
exist. More's the pity.
1t is probably a fact that Montpelier
has as many progressive and up-to-date
merchants and business men as any
town in the state, and more than many;
yet we are unaccountably backward
about organizing for mutual benefit.
During the years existence of Mont
pelier's Board of Trade MANY things
have been accomplished for the better
ment of that city, industrially and in
other ways.
What has been done in Montpelier
may also be done in Middlebury. All
that is necessary is some concerted ac-
ton on the part of our citizens; some
faithful work for the public good; a
pulling together, and the thing is done.
If any petty business jealousy exists
let US cast it aside and all work for the
common good, as without the help of
all business men and majority of the
citizens, the work of a few would
amount to nothing. We understand
that movement is on foot to form such
an organization and the The Register
wishes it the best of success.

The Evening News thinks it is pretty
tough to be obliged to live in such God
forsaken places as New Jersey, Con-
necticut, New York City and the Hud-
son Valley, piled full of snow as they
are, trains stalled, wires down, people
going hungry, bitter wind blowing from
40 to 60 miles an hour, etc.
What is the use of trying to exist in
such sections when there is such a
balmy, calm and sheltered spot as the
glorious old Champlain Valley
Peaceful Valley Rich in the men,
DRY of mighty deeds Incompatible
and soul-inspiring scenery of lake and
mountain Invigorating climate, fruit
full soil, neighboring people
Sheltered by the Adirondacks from
the western storms that sweep down
the St. Lawrence river valley to the
north of us, and across the territory be-
tween Glens Falls and New York City
to the south of US
We know of cimes where we might
be happier during March and April, but
taking it the year around where can it S
equal be found
The Champlain Valley for us
May we, who are privileged to call
the Champlain Valley our home for a
few short years, prove worthy of the
countless blessings we enjoy !-Platts-
burg, N. Y, Evening News.

THE LOADED GUN.
A Most Dangerous Thing to Have
Around the Home.

AROUND the Home.
The loaded pistol in the home Is an
object of danger. wherever it may be
placed. To be of any use in an emer-
gency it must be within easy reach
If it is within easy reach 1t may figure
in a homicide or a suicide. The sud
denly awakened person may kill a
member of the household by mistake
A child may find it and explode it. If
it is not within easy reach it might
as well be in shop downtown as far
as resisting burglars or serving use
full purpose is concerned. If it is put
away as a curiosity it should always
be unloaded. If the weapon is a relic
of the past, a specimen of an ancient
form of gunmaking. it is just as in
teresting with it's chambers empty as
with them filed.
OF course pistols may be put away
loaded with the full intention of hav-
ing them safely fred or unoaded later
and then forgotten. This is a matter
that cannot be neglected without dan
ger. The loaded gun is a menace to
life as long as it remains loaded and
within reach. Even at the bottom of
trunk it is possible cause of trouble
1t behooves everybody to make sure
that there are none of these hidden
weapons on the premises, to be found
by rummaging children or suddenly
disclosed in the course of houseclean-
ing or changes Washington Star.

New York pays its chief executive $780,
600 year, which seems like a pretty
fair salary on the face of it, but when
the enormous necessary expenditures
are taken care of there is little if any
left. Something should be done where
by it would not be necessary for man
to impoverish himself to be Governor
of a State, and prevent poor man,
however capable he may be, from seek
ing the office. This applies to Vermont
as we'll as to New York.

GEORGE Meredith,

The legend that in his early days the
late George Meridith was so poor that
he invested all his funds in a sack of
oatmeal, subsisting thereon while he
wrote Evan Harrington" is denied
by Mr.. j. A. Hammerton in his book
Criticism" One part of that pic
turesque if baseless, story was to the
effect that the novelist was not able
to buy fuel and was accustomed to
carry the bag Of oatmeal across the
rooms to keep himself warm.

1t is an open question whether the
meat boycott, which is assuming large
proportions in some sections of the
country, will have any lasting effect on
the prices of meat. There may perhaps
be downward tendency in prices while
the boycott lasts, but after that the
public will probably be at the mercy of
the big packers again, and it is just
possible that they may try to make up
for what they have lost during the
furry At the present time there are
not sufficient abstainers to have much
effect on the business of the beef
