Danvlle, ILL.,, Feb. 16.-Although

reported that already 200 indict'

ber against men higher up for per

The dismissal Of States Attorney
Lewman from tho grand jury room
created one of the biggest sensations
of the vote-selling investigation. 1t
Is stated Lewman merely asked the
witnesses perfunctory questions, and
this SO nettled Foreman woodward
that he asked the prosecutor to be
more specific and try to get all the
information possessed by witnesses.
Lewman is said to have replied
that he would conduct the investiga-
tion as he thought best without the
assistance of any of the Jurors. This
led to .he break.

WONDERFUL ICEBERG

One of the biggest icebergs seen for
years near ocean liners is told about
by the skipper of the Oravia. He saw
it in the South Atlantic, passing Falk-
land Islands. "The night was cloudy.
There was cutting wind and the tenn
perature of the sea was down to SO
degrees when the great iceberg came
into v:ew--a huge mass five hundred
feet high, partly covered with mist,
long, shelving shore of Ice, with the
sea breaking upon it as upon wide,
desolate beach. When the moon ap-
peared the sight was one never to be
forgotten. We gazed upon what SEEM
ed to be floating city of ice as large
as Boston, with its towers, its temples,
its tapering monuments shooting up in,
fantastic architecture shimmering In
the moonlight like polished silver. 1t
is the lot Of few to see such sight"

An item that should have

was the presentation of gold head
cane to DR.. G. E. Burts. During
the time that DR.. Burts resided in
Edgefeld he was quite intimately
associated with the students of the
S. G. G. l. Besides occasionally ad-
dressing the students in the chapel,
he would meet with them in their
Y. M. G. A., Y. w. a. and litera-
ry societies. Because of his abid-
ing interest in them the students
held him in very high esteem. AS
token of their affection and es-
TEEN the students of the Institution,
both boarding and day students,
gave him very handsome cane.
Col. Bailey presented the cane, his
remarks being very appropriate.

Pork Eaters on Increase.

"Pork eaters'' is 3 term which
may rightfully be applied to the
people of the United States if the
figures just made public by the
census bureau for the year 1910 may
be taken as a basis. The figures
show that during that year 1885,
900 more hogs were killed in this
country for food purposes than all
other animals copbined, including
beeves, calves, sheep and lambs,
goats, kids, etc. During the. year
1909, 34,443,Ooo hogs were killed
for food purposes and 3l,s6o,Ooo

Mr.. Minis. said that the people in

it seems that some of them continue
to haul guano just because they
have nothing else to do.

son, and the negative by Cadets A.
E. Burns and L. M. Smith. The
declaimer was Cadet w. T. Hum

Rev. IL. -. Gillespie, VINO a1ter que
deliberation decided in favor of the
affirmative.

These semi-annual celebrations,
to which many of our people look
forward with very keen interest, are
held as near as possible TO Washing

a topic bearing upon that period OF
the country's history is chosen for
discussion. The next public exer-
