years of age, who have hardly made
a living, taking their lives through.
Many of them were bright and hope
full as any boy can be, yet they al
ways felt as though someway they
would have plenty, get rich and be
distinguished, until they grappled
with the elements and condition and
adversities of life. While they may
have known in an abstract way hat
"there is no excellence without great
labor" they never realized it's appli-
cation to them individually. They
never thought it meant that some
time they would have to school
themselves to plain industry, to hard
and continuous application to duty;
to willing, even cheerful obedience,
to s~elf-control, to self-denial and
self-discipline.
Boys, there is no royal road. You
cannot joke and laugh and play
hockey with destiny. Have good,
honest fun, all you want of it, but
don't ever think for a moment hat
it is the business of life.
When you are through school you
will perhaps choose a profession.
You must have a foundation under
it of hard work; of things mastered
and things accomplished. When your
sign swings and rattles in the
breeze it must stand for a good deal
of honest work, interspersed with
some good, honest fun. People will
not rush to be doctored by a trifer,
a kid in mind and inclination, though
he was a very Goliath in stature. No
one else can do it for you. What use
to the farmer is good soil and time
ly sunshine and rain if he does not
plan a crop and attend to it care
fully and in season? Between
times, he may play, but in seed-time
he must SOW, and in harvest time he
must reap, and pillow and till in sea-
son. What good is a fertile mind to
you, if you neglect it, or, worse still,
SOW weeds; if you cultivate disobedi-
ence, dishonesty, disrespect and bad
habits?
You may want a job when you get
out of school. Do you suppose any
business man wants a smart Alec
about him? Do you think he wants
a young man who has not trained
himself to obey, and who is liable,
when told to do something, to decline
to obey? Men do not pay salaries
for such service. Do you think a
boy who has a reputation for trick
cry, who is too cute to be square,
openly and manly, can get a decent
job? Do you not think a young man
with no bad habits at all stands a
good deal better show of getting a
responsible position and good pay
than one with a cigar in his teeth
and tobacco juice oozing from the
corners of his mouth? You know
very well how it is.
The young man who can be serious,
Obedient, manly, will easily secure a

DR.. GEO. B. CROMBR RESIGNS.
Ncwbcrry College Loses an Able Head
To Return to His Law Practice
His Health the Cause.

1t is rumored that DR.. Geo. B. Gro
mer has written his resignation to the
Board of trustees of Newberry College
to take effect the first of July, 1904,
unless it should suit the board to re-
lease him at an earlier date, though the
board has not given out the informa-
ton.
1t is stated that DR.. Cromer states as
q reason for his course that he does not
believe his health will permit the ner-
vous strain incident to the presidency Of
the college. 1t is known that he did not
take the position as matter, of prefer
ence but he felt it call to duty.
DR.. Cromcrsucceeded DR.. Geo. w.
Holland as president of the college, be-
ing installed in January, 1896. Under
his administration the college has been
eminently successful and the many
friends of the college will regret that
he feels it his duty to lay down the
work. The enrolment under his ad-
has been larger than in the history of
the collegesand new 500, 600 building is
IN process of erection.
The regular meeting of the board of
trustees is not until June, 1904, but it
is probable that the chairman will call a
meeting of the board during the Luther
an Synod, which will be held in Columbia
in November. 1t would be well if the
trustees could secure successor at this
time, even if he did not take charge
until next year for it would not leave the
matter in doubt and then the new man
would have time to get into the work.
1t is understood that DR.. Cromer will
resume the practice of law and that he
will be member Of the firm of john
stone q Welch. He was a partner of
Col. Johnstone when he went to the
college. If he should become a men,
ber of this firm it will be one of the
strongest law firms in the State.
If the board could secure the SER
vices of DR.. Robert G.. Holland, now
serving the Lutheran church at Char
lotte, N. c., it would be a fortunate
thing for the college. DR.. Holland is a
brother of the late DR.. Geo. w. Hol-
land and warm friend of the college.

THE COLUMBIA HOTEL.
mr.. Sam Wheeler, Son Of Mr.. D. Henry
Wheeler Of Newberry,
Purchaser.

The following is from the Columbia
State of the 7th. Mr.. Wheeler is a
son of Mr.. D. Henry Wheeler of New
berry and has had considerable expert
ence in the hotel business and has been
quite successful. His Newberry friends
who visit Columbia will be very glad to
stop with him at the Columbia:
The Columbia hotel changed hands
yesterday afternoon, Mr.. S. F. Wheeler
being the purchaser. Mr.. Wheeler is
well known both to the tourists and th.,
travelling public as the genial boniface
OF the Wheeler, the resort hotel of
Eendersonville. The transfer which
has been pending for some time was
completed yesterday and last evening
MIR. Wheeler assumed charge. There
will be no change in the staff Of the
hotel at this time.
eyes l consider that am fortunate
in coming TO Columbia said Mr..
Wheeler last night. Il feel that this
is good field for hotel man. The
Columbia is all right at present, but in
the next few years there will be a
hotel on Main street that will be unlike
any now in business here"
Mr.. w. l.. Balm, who was associated
with Mr.. Wheeler in Jacksonville be-
fore he managed the Hendersonville
house, is in the city and will remain for
some time. MIR. Wheeler returns to
Hendersonville on Thursday to close
the Wheeler and will be in the city on
Saturday night to take up his residence.
Mr.. Wheeler himself is hotel man
of considerable experience, having been
in the business for several years and
no doubt the patrons Of the house will
be more than well cared for at his
hands.

Col. George tombstone.

Mr.. John Burke, the staff cores
pondent of the Augusta Chronicle, who
is reporting the Tillman trial for his
paper, in writing of the lawyers in the
case has the following to say of Col.
George Johnstone who is for the de-
Tense:
"Col. George tombstone is another
lawyer of the defense. Here you have
the past master of sarcasm, with a
shreWd mind and eloquence Of a very
forceful nature. Col. Johnstone is al
ways virile. There is nothing of COM
promise in his make up. 1t is always
fight, fight, fight with him. In the
forum of the court house this gentle
man never gives quarters and you could
imagine nothing more foreign to his
character than asking it. He is happi-
est when in the throes Of deep conten-
tion, when his own splendid intellect is
pitted against one that pushed his on
to the greatest efforts.
''As an orator, COL Johnstone is very
strong. His physique is impressive,
manner emphatic and his voice of COM
manding tenibre. In the realms of
logic he is particularly apt and fits his
arguments together with a precision
and co ency that renders his finished
speeches difficult Of successful assault.
Johnstone does not plead or entreat for
results, he simply sweeps obstacles
from his path by powerful bursts of
eloquence in which are carefully welded
law and reason. When he turns his
tongue and thoughts to onslaught he
fairly scourges the OBJECT of attack.
How he can make man writhe and
suffer mental anguish must be seen to
be appreciated. There is an indepen-
dence about Col. -Johnstone's efforts
that carries confidence to the minds of
his hearers in short order. Summed up
in sentence he is careful, yet daring
advocate, thorough sitter of evidence,
man of excellent courage, who speaks
his mind freely, without the slightest
fear of any consequences that may fol-
low"
