Newberry U0Ia
We wish distinctly and in ali cSnd10r and
earnestncss to show our readers tho benefits
ofSNewbcyry College, recently removed from
Newberry to our little village. Many of our
citizens do not understand or appreciate tho
advantages of the CulIegc, and VIC doubt
whether any one can fully estimate the bone,
fits which such an Institution confcrs upon
the community. Besides the educational ia
c%ilitirs it "if.rs--besidrs the pecun;ary a,ivnn
,t,gcs gaincd--tl,e social and moral influences
are bcynnd c,lcul 'tion. If our readers will
indulge us, we will ende,vor to present II few
of these advantages for their consideration
This Institution gives to the citizens ut
Walhalla and tho surrounding district. every
advantage necessary tn nhtai: Il liberal cducas
ton. equal to any sch vol of the kind in the
Southern states, without tho necessity Of se d
ing their sons from the parental rnof, or the
expense Of boarding them ut II distant Col
lege. This advantage is realized by those
.whnswish to educate their children.
Institutions Of this kind in any cotnmuni
ty increase the value Of property. AS like
CAUSES produce like effects, real estate must
be more valuable now then twelve month 4
ago. Many wi seek a home in our midsts
whose resources, wealth and moral i,AXekAee
would have been lost, had no educational I'D
vantages been offered. Every induccnent
that would load worthy men Of social
and moral worth-to purchase property and
to secure a home for themselves and children
in any community adds materially to the val
ue Of real estate.
There is another great advantage which
those who understand Political Ecomy will
readily admit, an advantage in dollars and
cents. Suppose there were now one hundred
students in the College, from the neighbour
ing Districts ana States. Each student, on
an average would leave in this community two
hundred dollars per year. Hence 10000 dol.
lars would be thrown into circulation. Would
not tie yearly circulation Of twenty thousand
doliara be nm advantage to this town and the
immediate noighhorhood ? would not every
ono be- more or isss benefited
The social and moral advantages are by for
tho g~reatest. These blessings can mover be
estimated by dollars and cents. Give us these
blessings and the prosperity Of this commu
nifty will be secured. Every employment or
profession which tends to elevate the commu.
nifty In morality aids making the place prospe.
rous and happy.
The citizens Of this place should vie with
each other in giving to the student a eomfor-
table and pleasant homo the few years lie re-
mains in our midst to complete his education.
The building ought to be completed at once
by a united effort, yea, made beautiful and if
necessary enlarged, so that. these may be at.
tractions to this school from a distance. We
that the Synod, under whose fos.
sorinsg care the college Is placed, supports the
Professors then surely this community,
which enjoys particularly It's advantages,
offer Suitable buildings in which to
carry on th.if educational enterprises. We
shall. as time and circumstances admit, keep
our readers inforiDcd. Of those enterprises In
our midst o calculated to make us q prosperous
happy people.
