to say, has been i'll and was not able

Meetze, J. T. Meetze, E. F. z. Roof,

perhaps others whom I did not have
a chance to meet. We are proud of
such a handsome number of new boys
from our mother county and we hope
by next year the numbers will be very
much increased.
The formal opening of Newberry
college was held on Friday morning.
Rev. w. II. Greever gave the address
of welcome from the church at large.
He took as his subject for discussion,
nSome Ideal Aims of True Education"
In this discussion he set forth the inn
portance of a person introducing him
self to himself, or in other words the
Importance of person studying him
self in order to learn what he is fit for
in life. iThen after he has found his
worth prepare himself for that par
ticular apere in life. Equip himself
for his calling. Rev. w. L. Seabrook,
pastor af the college church, church
Of the Redeemer, extended greeting
to the students of the college. AS
the college is non-sectarian school,
the pastors Of other denominations of
the town also extended a welcome to
the student.
On Friday night the reception to
the new students was given under the
auspices of the Young Mems Christian
Association. Several addresses were
made and quite a number of college
songs were sung by the former stu
dents of the college.

Sunday school of Columbia. Mr.. Ris-
niger, the pastor, is a young, active
man and has accomplished his
hearts desire in the erection of the
church in very quiet, unostentatious
way-and he and his flock though
small in number have just cause to be
proud of their efforts. Aside from
the uplift in morals and salvation of
souls the building is an ornament that
the town is proud Of. Mr.. Risinger
and his congregation are to be con-
graduated and it is the delight of all
to hear another church bell peallng
forth the Gospel call.-The State.

Opening at Nsvbes7y College.
70 the Editor of the Dispatch:

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Last Wednesday morning at 9
o'clock when the former students of
NewberTy college were greeting one
another with pleasant smiles and
loud voices, Hello, there" and when
the trees on the campus and college
buildings themselves seemed to re-
joice at the return of her old boys"
the old college bell called the students
to meet in the auditorium. If there
is a happy day in the student's life it
is the day when after a summers va
cation they are blessed with the privi-
lege to meet one another again on
the college grounds.
After the devotional exercises in
the chapel, Prof. S. j. Derrick gave
the address Of welcome to the former
students and to the ''Rats'' in partic-
ular. The address was very humorous
and witty, but still it was full of mean
ing and pathos. It was very interest
ing throughout and all gave their un-
divided attention to the speaker. After
this and the remarks from thevarious
professors the new students were clas-
sified according to their several abili-
ties.
The former students who returned
from Lexington county were as fol-

CONGRESSMAN LEVER
IS MUCH ENCOURAGED
Feels That Congressman Burton's
Trip to South Carolina Will
Prove of Benefit.

Prove of Benefit.
Lexington, Sept. 29.-Congressman
Lever has returned to his home from
an extensive trip with Congressman
Burton, chairman of the rivers and
harbors committee of the house, who
for the past week has been making
an inspection of the !Congaree, Santee
and Wateree rivers and also the har-
Dor improvements about Georgetown.
Congressman Burton comes into the
State upon the urgent request of Con-
gresham Lever, who last spring i'm
pressed upon him the great import
ance of river improvement in this
district and the State at large.
Mr.. Lever looks tired and worn out,
but he is enthusiastic over the pros
pect of having adequate appropria-
tions for all needed improvements
carried in the river and harbor bill to
be passed at the next session of con-
gress. Speaking of the matter, he
said: 81 feel that we have done a
fine work in having Mr.. Burton take
the trip. He expressed himself as
much pleased with our possibilities in
the way of river navigation, and of
Columbia as commercial center he
seemed deeply impressed. am con-
adent that we sent him away thorough
ly convinced of the feasibility of the
effort to make the Congaree naviga-
BILE to the Senate street landing, Aand
he knows now that Georgetown has
in her splendid harbor the making of
a fine port, particularly when the
rivers running into that harbor receive
the hearty sympathy and aid they
deserve from the federal government.
I fear our people do not fully realize
what water transportation will mean,
not alone to Columbia, but to the en-
tire State. Columbia is the natural
uuU VI UIlS SOdUC, WI1Ol1 IL SoLhOo W
railroad facilities, and when we give
her the means of controlling freight
rates by water competition, we have
made her distributing point for the
greater part of the freight, at lower
rates, for the entire central and up
State. And I see no reason why we
should not succeed in developing this
natural transportation route. We are
in every respect as favorably situated
as Augusta, and when we decide to
take our candle from under the BUSH
ell, we may expect some consideration
from those who can then see the light.
I have no idea what amount we are
going to be able to get for this work.
It may be much and it may be little,
but of one thing I am certain and that
is tnat we are going to make the effort
of our lives to get sufficient amount
to give us free navigation in the Con-
garee at all seasons of the year and I
am sanguine of success"
The people Of Lexington not only
appreciate the work of their congress
man, but at the, same time feel per-
sonal and county pride in it.-State,
September 80.
