RECEIVING NEW STUDENTS.
The Old Students and Citizens Of the Town
Extend A Warm Welcome to New
Studentc-A Pleasant Time and
Good Speeches,

The College Y. NJ. C.. A. Symposium
ct the college last Friday night was a
success. The exercises were carried
out nicely and it was delightful time
in general. A large crowd was present,
consisting of the students of college,
both old and new, the Luther Alliance
girls. Distinguished gentlemen Of
town were invited to make speeches.
At half past eight O'Clock they gath
cred in the college chapel. Religious
services were conducted by Mr.. Geo.
A. Riser, president of the association.
After these exercises all repaired to
the preparatory room of the college
where all were seated except the girls
who served cream and cake which had
been given by the good people of the
town. The association returns thanks
t. the friends who were 80 kind as to
give these refreshments. When they
were all bountifully supplied Mr.. Geo.
S. Bearden asked all to be quiet and
announced that DR.. Fox would be toast
master. DR.. Fox announced that Rev.
w. J.. Wait was the first speaker on
the programme and that his subject
was the moral influence Of women.
Rev. Mr.. Wait set forth in foreible
terms woman's beneficial influence.
Next was the fluent speaker, DR.. w.
E. Pelham who made a nice speech.
Then Mr.. NJ. A. Carlisle was intro
duced who took tor his subject society
and its beneficial influence.
His speech was very entertaining
and showed bis scholarly ability.
Last was Rev. A. J. Stokes who
took for his subject the young man as
the auxiliary of the minister. His talk
was encouraging to the young men by
showing them what important work
they might perform.
After all the speeches were over the
young ladies were introduced to all the
new students, and then the young men
helped the young ladies to refresh
ments.
Then the young men carried the
ladies through the literary society
Halls. At eleven o'clock all returned
totheir homes rejoicing over the delight
full evening they had spent, for the
benefit ofthe new students.
We hope the time will never come
when some similar exercises will noI
be held to welcome the students toNew-
berry College. 1t is so much nicer and
more refining than old hazing plans.

A Deserved Promotion.

The next best thing to chronicling
the success and promotion of native
Newberrian abroad is the recording of
the we'll merited advancement Of any
one who has lived 10 our miGst worthy
of that distinction. It has long been q
well known and established fact that
people from Newberry make their
mark wherever they 60, as general
thing, and it now seems to be the same
with transient residents. Everybody
here pleasantly remembers Miss Daisy
O'Neafe, of Columb bia, a former teacher
in our graded schools. She has been
elected to a leadership in the graded
schools of Ocala, Fla. Twelve teachers
were needed for the schools and there
were seventy-five applicants for the
positions. From the daily press we
learn that a most rigid examination
was held, and that Miss O'Neale was
one of the fortunate number to secure
the prize. While in our midst this ac-
complished young lady made many
friends by her modest and unassuming
demeanor. Columbia's and NeWber-
ry's loss is certainly Ocala's gain.

every home and so admirably adapted to the
purposes for which it is intended, as Cham
berlains Pain Balm. Hardly week passes
but some member of tho family has need OF
it. A toothache or headache may be cured
by it. A touch Of rheumatism or neuralgia
quieted. The severe pain of burn or scald
promp pity relieved and the sore healed in
much less time than when medicine has to
be sent for. A sprain may be promptly
treated before Inflammation sets in, which in
sures cure in about one-third OF the time
otherwise required. Cats and bruises should
receive immediate treatment before the
parts become swollen, which can only be
done when Pain Balm IS kept at hand. A
sore throat may be cured before it becomes

by applying it twice day for a week or two.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way TO cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
ditiou of the mucous lining of the Eus-
-saehian Tube. When this tube is in-
famed you have .umbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten
are caused by catarrb, which is nothing
but an infamed condition of the mu-
cous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

they recited an appropriate stanza,
with reference to the different nations,

cred the address, in which be laid down
the principle that Christians should
engage in the great work of missions
because it was doing the will of God.

ments from Scripture to support his
position, and he also touched upon
other principles embodied in the ne
cessityof carrying the gospel to heather
lands.
At the morning service, eleven young
persons were confirmed, and the COM
munion was administered to the largest
number of persons at any single time

Two Barrels OF Whiskey Captured.

Last week Constable Chappell ran
upon about sixty gallons Of whiskey
in a barrel and keg. The barrel had
no stamps upon it but the keg had.
y. S Deputy Marshal P. F. Baxter
came along soon after Chappell had
made his capture and finding the barrel
had no U. S. stamp on it told Mr.. Chap
pell that he would take charge of the
barrel. In the meantime State Consta-
bic Chappell had torn the government
stamp off of the keg, and thereupon
Marshal Baxter informed him that be
would also take charge of the keg. Mr..
Chappell wanted Mr.. Baxter to leave
the whiskey in his charge until be
could wire Gov. Tillman, but Mr.. Bax-
ter declined telling him that he and
Ben were too light a weight for him
(Baxter) and Grover. We understand
that the Governor wired Mr.. Chappell
to keep hands off, and be did. Raiding
Deputy Blalock came to Newberry on
Monday and took charge of the whis-
key, and he had it sent to Colum bia,
but not to the State Dispensary.
