GREAT DAY FOR HUNTERS.
Wednesday Ushered I'm Open Season
for Partridgcs and Other Game.

Wednesday was the big day of the
year for about five score persons liv.
ing In this city. and there were 4
great many of this number to take
horse and dog and wander off in
the fields and woods during the day
hunting for the elusive partridge.
There has been much shooting GO
ing on around the city ever since the
fifteenth Of September when the sea
son for shooting doves commenced
and sad to say there was some shoot
ing even before that date--but tn =
number OF hunters then was as moth
ing to the number of those Wednes-
day who went out to search for par
tridges. one OF the fancy dishes for
a hunters table and a bird that all
hunters find much sport in shoot
ing.
From all sides all day long the
sound of firearms was borne to the
ears OF those who, engaged In busl-
ness held in court or otherwise oc-
cupied, but unable to be out hunting,
longed to be in the field with a good
dog and gun. From now on there
VIII not be a day during the season,
except Sunday. that sporting parties
do not leave the city for adjacent
iieids or neighboring points for :,
days hunting. And also daily Will
come I'm the accounts from all over
the country OF persons being shot by
the careless hunters. Also the papers
will tell OF hunters being caught
trespassing.
The hunter should remember that
ne cannot be too careful where ne
shoots and what he shoots at and no
should remember that other peopIe
besides him have rights which must
be respected. The game laws and the
trespass law can be ascertained from
any magistrate or lawyers office and
the hunter should post himself o?

EXPEL STUDENTS WHO DRINK.
President Creates Excitement Mt Uni
versity OF Virginia.

BY announcing q resolution Of the
faculty Of the University Of Virginia
threatening expulsion from college
Of any student indulging in alcoholic
drinks, by forbidding the holding of
"soirees" and by dealing with the fra
ternity problem. President Edwin
A. Alderman created a thrill Of ex-
citement that spread over the cam
pus at the first student hour" of
the year.
President Alderman opened the dis
cussion of drinking at the assembled
meeting Of nearly all tie students
by denying the rumor that lad
reached has ears that Drinking was
winked at by the faculty" He said:
There is a certain Chicago man
who thinks colleges are wicked places
and has gotten together set Of
lies and fake statements about
drinking. 1 doubt whether he has
done any good at all unless he has
set the college men to thinking.
Drinking and drunkenness are among
the barbaric vices that get themselves
into the life Of every group. There
has been a rule against drinking at
Virginia, but it fell into abeyance be-
cause 1t could not be enforced. 1t
must be the student opinion that
wipes out the excesess in their lie.
The drink habit Is no longer tolerated
In the civilized world whether 1t be
among railroad employees or In the
business mans world.
Hereafter drunkenness is forbid
den at Virginia, with the punishment
Of dismissal. Disturbance or disorder
will not be tolerated. All organized
drinking parties. commonly known as
'soirees, and all indulgences in aIco-
holic drinks is forbidden. and the VIC
lation means the suspension Of ali
concerned. We have seen the end
Of it,"
In speaking Of the fraternity Pres
ident Alderman dealt lightly. Hi,
point was that the fraternity must
not be placed above the college. bat
should only serve as a home for the
students. "All those who oppose
fraternities are unwise. Fraternities
DO twenty times as much good as
harm During the past twenty-five
years the fraternities have reached
colossal power-great in physical
Wealth. social influence and academic
achievement"

AIKEN OFFICER KILLED.
JAMES SEIGLER SHOOTS DOWN
WADE PATTERSON.
Seiglcr Had Been Arrested Few
Minutes Before the Homicide
Is an Extensive Planter.

Aiken, Nov. 17.-Wade Patterson.
who for about 27 years has been a
policeman in this city. was this af-
ternoon shot and instantly killed by
James Seigler, a wcll-known man Of
this city. Patterson was shot while
on duty at the corner OF Main street
and Park avenue, in the principal
business section of the town. The
body Of the dead man was carried 70
the undertaking establishment where
1t lies tonight. An inquest will be
held tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock
by CORONER Johnson.
There were several eye-witnesses to
the homicide, but none Of them will
make any statement tonight. Patter-
son was shot several times with 32
Savage magazine pistol.
1t is said that the officer had ar
rested Seigler for cursing just a eew
minutes previous to the shooting and
that Patterson had allowed Seigler to
give bond in the sum Of $3.50. Seig-
Ter is said to have given Patterson a
five dollar bill and before Patterson
had given him the change the killing
occurred. AS to what took place be-
tween the two men during that time
is uncertain, and the statements are
conflicting.
One statement is that a few words
were passed in which Seigler COM
planned Of not being treated right,
and that the officer told him that he,
Seigler. knew that he was in the
wrong, at which Seigler quickly drew
his pistol and fired at least three
times. The balls were of steel and
one of them is said to have passed
through Patterson's body and was
picked up on the sidewalk. Seig-
ler is a farmer and one Of the larg-
est planters in the county.
When asked for q statement John
A. Seigler. brother of James Seigler,
said that he had nothing to say fur
ther than his brother stated he had
to kill Patterson. Patterson is sur
vived by wife and several children.
He was considered one Of the best
officers on the force.
Seigler is in Jail.

CORN EXPOSITION A BIG AFFAIR
Special School Course Each Day, Un-
der Direction Of Prof. Napier.

Columbia, Nov. 14.--In carrying
Atlantic Corn Exposition an educa-
tional institution the management
will offer a course In corn judging.
The school will be conducted one
session each, day throughout the ey-
position and will be In charge Of Prof
j. M. Napier. Of Clemson College.
Prof. Napier Is South Carolinian
by birth. but has had extensive train
ing under Prof. r. A. Moore, Of the
University ot winconsin. so that he
will be able to teach the farmers the
best In corn judging from both a
Northern and Southern point Of view.
This corn judging school was a pop
ular feature Of last years exposition
and was patronized by an interested
lot OF farmers.
Before q farmer can be tho most
successful corn grower or breeder. he
must know what constitutes good
corn Just as the livestock grower or
breeder must know what constitutes
q good animal. Progressive Northern
corn growers realized this many years
ago. and they have developed various
varieties Of corn with certain types
and characteristics for different con-
ditions. The result was that the yield
Of corn has been greatly increased.
so much so that by breeding and Sc
lecting the Illinois Corn Breeders As
ISOLATION averaged last year 63 BUSH
els Of corn per acre where the aver
age OF the State was 80. Many
Southern farmers have yet failed to
learn this lesson and the average
grower often uses seed corn Of mon
grel breeding. Too frequently the
corn has shallow grains. wide spaces
between rows. mixed colors and low
vitality indicating but little power To
produce the proper kind Of offspring.
This corn judging school will teach
farmers what good corn Is and every
one should avail himself Of the op-
portunity to secure the information
given.
