different stuff and are differently
educated. 4 combination has been
formed in the State of New York,
looking to the development of the
Southern States: Let South Care
lima join hands with Georgia and
send up thanks to Senator Walsh for
what he has done i'll this movement.
Capital seeks the country where busi-
ness is quiet A factory man, he
said, had told him that he wanted
South Carolina men in their big mill
in Columbia, as the labor of the
North could not be depended on.
He stated that the development of
the South was sure to come and it
would originate such competition as
never before seen by the South. Re
member then, that unless you edu
cate your boys and girls to stem the
tide, they will go to the wall and be
hewers of wood and drawers of water.
We cannot obviate the forces of ma
ture, and our boys and girls must
be put in positi to meet them.
Do this by putting something IN
their heads. It has been demon
strated in South Carolina than
man can scarcely make a living and
can't pay his debts. Then give your
children something by which they
can live on education. Every dollar
spent in educating your boys at New
berry College, is money we'll invested.
Nondenominational schools are
non-Christian, and those who patron
ize them must bear the result. Our
State schools are intended for techni-
cal learning. First send to denomina.
tional schools and then to technical.
Newberry now has a professor in
the scientific course and can give
you all you want in that line.
He closed with a strong appeal for
the proposed Female College at Lit
tie Mountain.
A recess of an hour and half was
then taken for dinner. The time
was spent in canvassing the excellent
picnic dinner prepared by the good
ladies of the community and in social
chat.
The first speaker after recess was
Rev. S. L. Nease, whose subject was
Female Education.
He confined his remarks to the
steps taken and to be taken for the
establishment of the Female College
at Little Mountain.
Co-education at Newberry College,
was next discussed by Rev. S. G.
Ballentine. Ancient education looked
principally to physical development,
but modern to intellectual. Woman
is now acknowledged as mans intel
lectual equal. Demonstrated by the
class standing in Co-educational
schools. 1t is being generally dis
cussed and is growing in favor. Sixty
per cent of the Colleges have already
adopted it, teachers can keep down
the matrimonial tendency. New
berry College should be Co-educa-
tional if practical.
Training schocls-By S. J. Derrick
This was an able and logical paper
and we are sorry that we find that to
even follow our notes will make this
article too lengthy. The Editor can
procure it if he so desires.
The next speaker was Geo. B.
Cromer Esq. He said he would con-
fine himself to no particular subject,
but come behind and sweep up the
crumbs for the others. It was an
eloquent and impressive speech, full
of good hard sense. He made a
strong appeal for Newberry College
and education in general.
DR.. Holland in few closing re-
marks commended all the speakers
and said they had reflected honor on
their Alma Mater.
Prof. A. J. Bowers offered the fol.
lowing resolutions, which were
adopted.
