Dr.. CrOmer in LalrenS,

The Laurens correspondent of The
State has the following to say of an ad-
dress delivered by DR.. George B..
Cromer before the I,allrens city schools
on Friday night:
President Geo. B. Cromer of New
berry College delivered the annual ad-
dress at the closing of the city schools
last night before large audience.
"Some Educational Needs" was his
topic. lie said that education was the
releasing Of the minds power, compar-
ing it in beautiful figure Of speech to
the unlocking Of frozen waters by a
genial sun, permitting them TO water
the earth and turn the wheels of indus
try.
While deplorng the tendency to at
tach too much Importance to the accu-
mutation Of money he directed attention
to the potent fact that more money is
needed for educational purposes. He
pointed to the existence Of thousands of
devoted teachers toiling for pittance
of $25 or $50 a month for seven or eight
months in a 500 school house and pre-
sented striking statistics of illiteracy.
The address was forceful and eloquent,
and while it was notable for the grace
of it's rhetorical periods it was still
more remarkable for its strong and con-
vincing grouping of facts

pULMBR VS.. SOUTHERN.
Arguments In an Important Case From
This County Heard by Supreme Court
En- Banc.

Arguments in the case of Fulmer VS..
the Southern Railway Company, suit for
damages in the sum of $l995, were
heard by the Supreme Court sitting en-
banc at Chambers in Columbia on Sat-
urday.> Fulmer, the appellant, was
represented by Mr.. r. H. Welch, for
Johnstone & Welch, and the defendant
respondent by B. l.. Abney, Esq, of
Columbia No opinion has yet been
filed.
The case is very important one in
that the question of the right Of rail
way to demand excess of Il passenger
failing to purchase ticket will be finally
decided so far as this State is concerned.
The case was heard at the Court of
Common Pleas for this county during
last year, and daverdict rendered for the
railway company. Nessrs. Johnstone
& Welch, representing the plaintiff, ap-
pealed.
Sam Fulmer, who lives with his
mother on the western outskirts of the
city, boarded the Southern's passenger
train at Prosperity, intending to come
to Newberry. He had been in Prosper
ity selling cotton for his mother, and
barely had time to catch the train, and
therefore did not purchase ticket.
The regular fare from Prosperity is
twenty-one cents, three cents per mile,
the maximum allowed under the laws
of this State. The rule Of the railway
is that when passenger fails to pur-
chase ticket he shall be required to pay
an excess of twenty-five cents, to be
refunded at his destination. Ful,,oer
had only twentyone cents in change,
the money which he had realized from
the sale of his cotton being in check.
The conductor refused the regular fare
without the excess and Fulmer was put
off the train.
The case hinges on the right of
railway to charge excess, to be refund
ed at destination, when passenger fails
to purchase ticket, the law providing
three cents per mile as a maximum
charge in this State.

The Great Physician of souls hath

at her request, and much to our graft
lcation, her mel bership remained with
us.
Resolved, That in the death of our
deceased associate and friend, the
church Of st. Lukes has sustained a
great loss. Her pure soul was called
from its earthly tabernacle to it's home
eternal in the heavens And 80 with
the deepest appreciation Of her energy,
without thought of self, we yield to
Gods will and say,
Servant of God, well done;
Rest from thy loved employ,
The battle fought, the victory won,
Enter thy Masters joy.
Resolved, That copy of these reso-
lutions be sent to the bereavcd husband
and sister with every assurance of our
deep sympathy, and that page of oul
Guild book be inscribed to her memory

ATTEMPTED Store Breaking,

Policemen B. e. K0on and S. G.. Car
ter early yesterday morning discovered
two crow-bars and block of iron
which seemed to have been used for a
fulcrum at the rear entrance of Todd
& Cozby's grocery store on Main street.
Evidently there had been an attempt
some time during the night to effect
an entrance into the store. The police
force had paid frequent visit to this
part Of the town during the night, and
it is supposed the would-be store break
ers were frightened away.

The fact that the meeting has beer
