Notes from Newherry College.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:

I0 the EQltOr OF LIE Dlsphtcu'
Base ball is all the go. Newberry
has not lost a single game in tie
association this year. Our boys are
in good hopes of again winning the
championship.
DR.. James A. B Scherer has re-
turned from his trip in the North.
Previous to this last trip made by
him, DR.. Piersop, OF Chicago, offered
Newberry college $25,00o on terms
that we raise fixed amount. He
has not as yet reported what amount
we are to raise. DR.. Pierson is q very
old man. He has been Christian
worker all his life and, as he is ex.
pecting soon to pass away from this
world into eternal life, he wishes to
donate portion Of his worldly goods
to some Christian cause. Oa the last
trip made by DR.. Scherer, Mr. An
drew Carnegie, of New York, offers
to the Techologicsl Department OF
our college sum of $4,000 On con.
ditions that they raise an equal
amount. This money, unlike that
offered by Nr. John D. Rockefeller
as far as weare able to judge. will
come to Us as untainted money. 1t is
oply left to-us to decide whether or
not we are willing to receive this OF.
fer. We can only show our apprecia-
ton of these grand offers by sacrifc-
ing small portion of our abundances.
What a grand opportunity this is for
us to make Newberry college one
among the greatest in the South.
The gymnasium building is almost
complete. It has been covered, the
floor has been lain and sash has been
put in the windows. All that is
needed yet is to put on the finishing
touch and then it will be ready for
the necessary equipments on the
interior.
Mr.. w. E. Monts, member of the
present junior class and who has been
in bed for nearly one week ON account
of the measles, is improving rapidly.
We hope to see him out on the
campus in few days. DR.. Pelham
gave him careful and skillful treat
ment while he was at his worst.
Mrs. D. T. E6rd, from near Lex.
ingtoD, s. G., who had been visiting
Mrs. s. j. Derrick, her sister, and
Mrs. J. 81. Hitler, from the Pine
Ridge section, who also was guest
OF Mrs. Derrick, left for their respec-
tive homes yesterday. Hon. D. F.
E6rd paid US visit in the Chapel
che next morning after he brought
his wife up here. We are always
glad to see our Lexington friends
among us.
Mr.. B. f. Chapman, our repre-
sentative from Newberry college to
the Ioter.C Collegiate Oratorical Con-
test to be held at Greenwood, s. @ to-
night, lett today on the noon train.
He is q member of the present senior
class, and also member of the Phre-
nakosmian Literary society. He was
accompanied by q number of college
students.
Drs. James a. B. Scherer, A. j.
Bowers and E B. SETTLER have gone
to attend the Newberry conference
at Bethlehem church, near Pomaria,
S. G. It is probable that Mr.. J.
Irby Koon and a few other students
of the college will 60 down tonight or
tomorrow.
One of the most exciting games of
base ball of the season was played
here on Saturday 2Sth with the Glenn
son team. The game was intensely
interesting from start to finish. The
result of the game was 6 to 3 in favor
of Newberry.
Much success to the Dispatch and
it's readers.
