dex finger pointing away to the
throne of God. So upon the lofty
shaft Of his granite character, James
II. Carlisle has ever stood, pointing
Young men to the heavenlies and
commencing the Bible as the chief
textbook and the inspiration for the
highest achievement.
If you seek the monument Of DR..
Carlisle look about you IN church
and state and see the mighty host
of Woford's men Of sterling worth,
whose lives are a benediction to The
nation, and you will find his endur-
ing memorial.
Last Appearance.
The last time that DR.. Carlisle ap-
peared in public was during the sum
mer school for teachers at Woford
college, when it was the pleasure Of
the teachers to hear an interesting
address on school life Of long ago,
sand on Washington's visit to South
Carolina. after he had been elected
president Of the United States. Prior
to this time he had not made an ad-
dress in public for many months.
The commencement at WoHord last
June was the first commencement
missed by DR.. Carlisle for more than
two score of years. When he was a
member Of the faculty he always oc-
cupied a seat on the rostrum during
the commencement season, and after
he retired from the active presidency
of Nhe college, he never missed an ex-
ercise. Last June, however, he was
indisposed and it was impossible for
him to attend any Of the exercises at
the college.
DR.. Carlisle was president of Wof-
ford College from 1875 to 1902, when
he resigned, and became president
emeritus. Following . his resignation
DR.. H. n. Snyder was elected.
Although he resigned the presl-
dency of Wofford, he did not give up
active work, for he continued to lee
ture on astronomy and the Bible. His
Bible lectures continued until last
winter, when he was forced to give up
classroom work on account OF the
severe cold.

Rev. and Mrs. J. D. Bowles return
ed to Coronaca Saturday, after a
pleasant stay with Miss Mamie Simp-
son.
The Palmetto club will meet with
Mrs. F. E. Schumpert early next
week.
Mr.. Olin Hentz, Of Pomaria, was
in the city Tuesday.
The series Of services in Grace
Church are quite as entertaining and
edifying as they promised to be. The
sermon on Monday evening by Rev.
Mr.. Fulenwider was unusual. He did
not give a statistical sermon on mis-
sions, but showed that the need of the
world is the forgiveness of sins. This
consummation, of course, to be accom-
plished through and by missions.
The address Tuesday evening ~
Rev. J. J. Long, of Pomaria, Was very
able, indeed "Silver and gold have
none, but such as have I give thee,"
was his theme. His view of missions
to, was practical and his talk held and
helped his listeners.
On Wednesday evening DR.. Weltner,
of Columbia, wha has charge Of the
mission work among the mills, gave a
lengthy, spicy, pugent address on
home missions. The gist of his dis
course was Down to the masses; back
to Christ" He gave some very con-
vincing arguments fer the speedy mis-
sionating of mill points an dsome live,
actual illustrations of the progress
that has come under his own oobser-
vation and care in the last three years.
The talk this evening will be given
by DR.. Cromer and will be primarily
addressed to laymen. This, of course,
will be up to his usual high mark of
excellence.
On Friday and Sunday evenings DR..
Greever and Rev. J. H. Harms will
fill the pulpit. From previous hearing
of these two active, scholarly men we
can assure all who come most pro-
fitable hour.
It SENS that the news vender has
not passed this way this week and we
have not so much purely PERSONAL to
relate: Our friends and visitors must
have gone in other directions, pole
woard, or more preferably, since the
weather is so crisp and frosty, they
have followed the birds. At any rate
they are not seemingly in quest Of
Prosperity.
Mr.. H. P. Wicker returns Friday
from Little Mountain where he is at
work upon the beautiful school build
ing that is being erected there.
Mrs. Addie Hodges has returned
from visit to Columbia.
Several of our people are getting
ready to attend the Woman's Conven-
tian at Leesville and the South Caro-
lima Synod at Lexington.
Our graded and higgh schools are in
very flourishing, creditable condi-
ton. New students are coming in
daily with the prospect of quite few
more.

THE IDLgR.

"If the doctors could only agree
on some kind Of an operation for
pellag people would not have such
all aversion to it. But they will
probably soon devise a knife cure,
as they have done for almost all 9TH
er diseases.
The knife cure has been the thing
for some time. When | was young
you never heard of appendicitis and
now it is the thing to have your ap-
pendix removed. Fact is a good case
of old time collie is now diagnosed as
appendicitis.
Speaking Of pellagra that is a big
thing the doctors are going to have in
Columbia during Fair week. Every
doctor who can, it seems to me,
ought to be there. Pellagra is TO be
discussed from all viewpoints and
something ought to be learned. about
it.. Maybe we can find out the prop
er pronunciation Of the word. 1t
seems to me. though. that there are
some other diseases the study of
which would have more practical
benefits to suffering humanity. Near
" every case Of pellagra gets into
the newspapers whereas, hundreds of
people are dying every day from
pneumonia, typhoid fever, consump-
ton, scarlet fever and other every
day diseases. Would it not be we'll
to have a conference on some Of these.
Maybe they are too common.
Mrs. John A. Logan says: Science
has apparently discovered a remedy
for the cure of every disease with
which the human family is afflicted
except the fatal malady. eeotism.
There is no danger Of physical death
to the persons afflicted, but one
would like to think the disease was
durable. y The disease is easily di-
agnosed and the symptoms are ap-
parent, but when the disease once
LAYS lis claws on the victim the case
is almost hopeless. Mrs. Logan says
the victim generally has a grievance
that the valuation placed on his mer-
its BY others is always al underval-
uatipn. There is one .;hing that may
be said TO his credit. ::owever. he IS
generally 4 harmless bein" and the
vn:lL scarcely takes him seriously 1t

that the New York World has ar

sometimes she does not do it. The
right man did not finance it. That S
what the matter. I knew / would
find the cause if I kept on. Well, let's
try again and make the fourteenth
effort.
By the way that paved boulevard
has not yet been made between the
court house lot and the Crotwell ho-
tel. And the wagons just keep on
making a wagon road out of it.
Why not have it fixed as it ought to
be. I believe Mr.. Mann mows the
grass but the walks that were laid
out under the supervision Of the
ladies Of the civic association are
grown up with grass and the walks
leading up to the court house have
never been fixed and some Of the
Newberry lawyers really walk on the
grass in going to the court house for
fear Of getting sand in their shoes,
the sand on the walk leading up from
College street entrance being so deep.
Well, I guess it is better than red
mud and these lawyers will find that
out when the rainy season sets IN.
But then the walks ought to be fixed.
1t is a pity to start out to do nice
job and hen quit it before the job
is done. Don't you think so? Well,
I do.
I have not yet heard any noise that
sounded like a park for Newberry.
Have you? I am a little deaf but l
think I could hear a sound like that.
Don't you? The city folks ought to
be ashamed TO monopolize Willow
brook and not make a noise like a
park on this side so that they might
invite Willowbrook over to see what
they had done. Great movements
alays have hard time Of it at the
beginning but they will move. when
they are right, and this is a right
movement and there will be rum
bling noise before long.
It seems to me there was some
statement made somewhere that the
mayor had fixed up wagon yard in
the rear Of the market and that we
were to have the lower Or the upper
public square parked. Well, reckon
it has been decided to wait until
spring to have this done. And maybe
it is just as we'll. In the meantime
we may be able to do something with
the old court house.
