Inauguration of Mr.. George B.
Cromer as President.

Inauguration of Mr.. George B.
Cromer as President.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
At Newberrv, S. c., on the eve
ming of January I'd, 1895, George B.
Croner, Esq, to the Joy Of all friends
Of the college, was made President
of lis Alma Mater.
The exercises were held IN the
Opera House, which was filed with
earnest friends of the Institution and
of the new President. The meeting:
which was very instructive and i'm
pressive, was presided over by the
Rev. S. T. Hallman of Prosperity.
Appropriate addresses were made
by Judge Y. J. Pope, Of Newberry,
Rev. E. T. Horn, D. D., of Charles
ton and Rev. J. A. Sigh, who, as
Chairman of the Board Of Trustees,
delivered to Mr.. Cromer the charter
of the institution, and officially pro-
claimed him President of Newberry
College.
President C.omer then delivered
his inaugural. The address was a pro.
found one, spoken without notes in
that happy manner characteristic Of
the man.
Newbcrry College now enters upon
a new era of her existence. With
such worthy, self sacrificing man
at the head, the Church looks for
ward to great success.
The last words of her sainted Pres
ident were "God bless Newberry
College," and we cannot fail to see
that this prayer is being answered
even in placing Mr. Cromer at her
helmn. I. 5.

Random Writings from Rseder's
To the Editor OF the Dispatch:

To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
Perhaps some of your readers
would like to hear something from
this vicinity.
Mr. Eugene Reeder, one of our
brightest and most talented young
men, who was lately attending the
Palmetto Institute at Lexington, is
just recovering from a severe attack
of malarial fever. Mr.. Reeder is
fine pensman, who, if he perseveres,
is almost certain to make his mark.
Mr.. George Reeder is one of our
leading citizens, progressive, enlight-
ened and enterprisiDg, still vigorous
despite the weight of the sixty years
that have grizzled his beard and
bent his form, yet trudging stead
fastly on "Tithout haste, without
rest" ever busy in store or shop or on
the farm. A young man might we'll
envy the activity Of this veteran. As
post master, lie is always obliging,
as store-keeper courteous and at
work so industrious that when night
comes he sleeps soundly if he does
not dream, like a doctor, or an editor
Of the money that is owing to him
throughout this part of the county
most of which he will never get.
Mr.. George Shealy, who is yet
comparatively young man, is a hus-
tier. With large farm Of his Own,
worked to full advantage, he has
reached out and taken in a considera-
bic slice of the Muller land which
he also cultiyates in his usual thor
ough manner. Mr.. Shealy has mill
on the waters of Congaree creek in
which he runs a circular saw that
never grows rusty. He hauls to the
railroad at Lexington and because
his work is so good, he has many
more orders than he can fill.
There have been several cases of
measles but none fatal. One young

County Com IN sAiOners' Salaries.

question whether or not the commits
sioners could legally appropriate to
each other sums for outside services,
in excess Of the S123 allowed by law

holds that when the commissioners
