DR.. CROMER AT MURCHISON
DELIVERS Annual commencement Address
Before the School at Benefits
VILE.

DIR. George B. Cromcr this week
delivered the annual address on the
occasion Of the commencement cx.
crclscS Of the AIurchison school. at
Bcnnettsvillc. The Bennettsville
correspondent of the Columbia
State says of DR.. Cromer's adj
dress:
The zion. l.. McLaurin then
introduced as the annual orator
DIR. George b. Cromer. There has
never been heard here more earn
est or more liked commencement
address. DR.. Cromer is a very
pleasing speaker and when listen
ing to him one is surprised at the
passage of time for the charm OF
the speakers voice and the cftcc-
tive and easy delivcy Of the subject
is that Of master. DIR. Cromcr
took as his subject the "Idcal OF
Power Which Has Taken
II id ON Our People To-
d"v. This, he said, might be di-
V: ed into three heads, the pocket
power, the head power and the re-
liigous power or the heart power.
DR.. Cromer went Oh to show the
great desire for money, which pco-
pie today have because money is
power Then education gives head
power and education means money.
Then education gives head
power, develops the intellect. He
said that in our schools today were
being moulded the future leader,
and the destiny of the land was be-
ing shaped there also. Hc warned
against getting the love Of money
without the third essential, the pow
er of the heart. IIc referred to
Greece with its g>ca; intellect, to
Rome with its great wealth and
how both Of these passed because
there was no religion. Then arose
the ideal incarnatcd in human form
passing up and down the ways OF
Palestine. The religion of the lowly
Nazarcne swept the Roman empire
and assembled the throne Of Caesars
and is today sweeping the whole
world. This, said DR.. Cromcr,
should be taught. as it is, in our
schools and colleges and should
stand out and above everything
else.

Farmers Institute for NeWberry.

1t is probable that arrangements
coule' be mac!c to have a farmers
institute il. Newbcrry during the
coming summer undcr the auspices
II the authorities at Clemson COL
lccr.
We understand that the policy Of
the college for the present will be
not to hold a general farmers in
stitute at Clemson but to have in
stitutcs in different sections Of the
State having day or two at which
several counties may meet.
1t is entirely probable that one
Of these Institutes could be secured
for Newbcrry and if the president
Of the chamber of commerce or the
secretary would get in communica-
ton with the director Of the cx-
pertinent station at Clemson, Prof.
J. N. Harper, one Of these insti-
tutes might be held here.
AS we understand it the purpose
Of the director Of the experiment
station in holding these Institutes
will be to secure the most eminent
and best equipped men in the var
ious departments to give lectures
to farmers. BY holding these in
stitutes in different sections Of the
State more people will be enabled
to take advantage of the informa-
ton to be obtained at them than
could possibly be given with the
general institute for the State at
Clemson.
While these State institutes have
been as rule we'll attended a great
many more people could be reached
by scattering them over the State,
for it is not always convenient for
great many Of Our farmers to at
tend the institutes at Clemson, not
, only on account Of the expense but
on account of being unable to leave
home.

Work Now In Progress On Boundary

III progress, and will be carried by
the residence of Mrs. Geo. A. Lang
ford to MIR. G. l.. Havird's line.
1t is probable that the next work
vii! be on Caldwell street, from
the corner of the lot Of the Baptist
church south to the railroads, all
the property holders along this side
walk having agreed to Mayor
Langford's plan of paying half the
cost.
A property holder in the city who
has been benefited by the cement
sidewalks was heard to remark sew
eral days ago that he would not take
hive hundred dollars for the cement
walk along his property. Every
where the cement has been laid it
has given satisfaction. and the prop
erty holders who have secured it
realize that it has enhanced the
value Of their property many times
the cost to them.
Some of the property holders in
tombstone street running west from
Calhoun are desirous of securing
the cement pavement but the prop
crty holders affected have not vet
unanimously agreed to the plan.
The property holders who arc de-
sirous Of securing the benefits Of
the cement walks are exceedingly
