Major Vim. }. strIbIIns, Of waIhaiIa, Delivers
the Alumni Address.

Newberry, June IS.--The commence
ment exercises of Newberry College for
1902 closed this morning. A large aud
appreciatiye audience greeted the young
graduates on their commencement day.
The graduating GLASS this year Is com
posed OF eleven members, one Of whom
Is young lady.
DR. Cromer's parting talk to the gradu-
ating class was q gem. He is Known
throughout the State as one of it's best
speakers and he was at his best this
morning. The address was full of feel
ing. OF powor, of thought and Of good
advice.
THE ALUMNI ADDRESS.
The alumni address yesterday morning
was delivered by Mr.. w. j. Striblin0, oil
Walhslla. His subject was, NThe Chris
tan Education of Our Youth the Only
Hope OF Perpetuating Our Institutions"
He said that about a quarter Of century
ago, while q student of Newberry Col
lege, he had been selected publicly to
debate the question, "Resoived, That
the United States government is the best
government the world ever saw" In
his youthful ardor he had convinced
himself, at least, that it was true and he
had no doubt but that this government
would endure forever, and that the
ieayen of it would gradually permeate
Wv WY PoAApio va OH ObhoI RONcTuu6utk
and result ultimately in its becoming
universal. But since then his youthful
dreams had flown. The evils mentioned
as likely to overthrow tho government
are high protective tariff, wars of con-
quest, such as the Philippine war, ship
subsidy, Capitalization Of wealth and of
power, materialism and commercialism
The only hope for this country is in its
colleges. But colleges alone are not
enough. They will suggest the right
remedy, but only moral and religious
education will strengthen and nerve the
young mon of the land to apply the
remedy. He was sometimes led to won
der II the denominational colleges fully
realize the immense Importance of the
ment it surpasses that of the common
schools, and, he was almost ready to say,
it rivals that of home and even of the
church itself.

"Daughters OF the Confederacy."

The ladies' of Oconee are talking up a
Chapter of tho Daughters of the Con-
federacy, whose object is to make the
grand "old men who wore tho gray" last
days their best days; to have the school
children study carefully the history of
of the soldiers fresh with flowers. This
is grand movement and every daughter
should be loyal to her father and join
this Chapter and not let his great deeds
be forgotten.
Mrs. Carrie Anderson, tho talented
daughter of tho late lamcnted Col. Wm.
G. Keith, is going to organize a Chapter
in Walhalla. Mrs. Anderson will make
an ideal lerder and it is hoped that the
Walhalla Chapter will be one of great
Importance. Oconee is yet to como to
the front as a utopian country, noted
for all good works and the agricultural
and manufacturing center of the State.
