FOUNDERS DAY.
Interesting Exercises at Newberry
College on Thursday-Address by
DR.. w. Il. Greever.

Thursday is Founders Day at
Newbarry college and preparations
are being made by the college authori-
ties to celebrate the day in a fitting
manner. 1t will be remembered that
at meeting held last February the
board of trustees decided to set apart
the fourth of February as a holiday
to be observed in commemoration of
the founding of the college in 1855.
This day was chosen because Of the
fact that it is the birthday of Rev.
John Backman, D. D., Phi. D.. L. L.
D., Of Charleston, who was 50 init
mately connected with the establish
ment Of the college that he is proper
" called the founder Of the institu-
ton.
The celebration to be held at the
college promises to be of unusual IN
terest. The commemorative exercls-
es will be held in Holland Hall audi
forum at S:lo p. m.
An interesting program has been
arranged, the chief feature OF which
will be an address by the Rev. ". H.
Greever, D. D., of Columbia, the dis
tin.uished editor Of the Lutheran
Church Visitor. Music for the occa-
sion will be furnished by the college
orchestra and the Glee club under the
leadership of Dr. Thomas. The board
Of trustees Of the college Will meet IN
the morning, and members of the
board will be present at the exerr's-
eS.
In the afternoon, commencing at
$50 'clock, field day will be held
in the college athletic grounds under
the supervision of Physical Director
Moran. The various classes will en-
ter teams to contest for the trophy
which has been offered by President
Harms to the team making the great
est number of points. There will be
a 100 yard dash: 220 ward hurdles !;
5 mile relay race; broad jump; high
Jump: tug Of war; and other interest

The public is cordially invited to at
tend both the exercises in the evening

NEW COURT HOUSE.
Members Civic Association Get Per-
mission to Stretch Wires
Wagons Off.

Last Friday memY~rs Of the Give
Association held a conference with
Supervisor Feagle with reference to
grounds at the new court house. The
wagon yard has to some extent been
enlarged since the building Of the new
court house and the grounds have
been used for hitching and feeding
purposes. The trees have been used
as hitching posts as is evidenced by
the bark being eaten off by the mules.
Plans for improving the grounds
had been agreed upon but owing to
the heavy rains Of last summer and
the necessity for rebuilding bridges
the work was never done and IS not
done yet, and the wagons have been
driving in on them and using the
grounds as hitching and feeding
place.
Members Of the Civic Association
as stated obtained permission Oh Fri
day to put up some wire to keep the
wagons off and early Saturday morn
ing the posts and wire were put up
and now the wagons are excluded at
least from the side next to the Crot-
we'll hotel.
There is driveway between the
county lot and the Crotwell hotel
eight feet wide which belongs to Mr..
Crotwell. Mr.. Crotwell states that he
will give this for walk way or boule-
ward as far as his land goes and Mr..
J. D. Davenport says he will do the
same for the balance Of the distance
to Thompson street, if the city will
make a cement walk. This is in ac-
cordance with a suggestion made by
The Herald and News some months
ago when the opening Of a wagon way
through this lot was being considered.
City council should take this PROPOSE
ton up and accept it at once. In fact
the county might divide the cost be-
cause ii would add materially to the
court house lot in keeping wagons
from driving on it and would improve
the appearance and be a great con-
venience. The land in the rear of the
stores Of Shelly and Summer and the
others in that block could be utilized
for office buildings and would be ideal.
The signs which Judge Memminger
ordered the supervisor to have placed
in the new court house as to splitting
on the floor had never been put up.
The members Of the Civic association
got permission to have these printed
and put up, and they were printed on
Saturday.
The court house grounds could be
made very pretty and attractive with
a little work and a small expense and
it should be done.

RAISING TURNIPs.
York, Lancaster, Chester and Fair
field Should Take Note Of
Woodruff.

The Rock Hill Herald says that the
Lancaster News and the Editors OF
the Chester papers have been indulg.
ing in a lot Of hot air about raising
turnips.
The Herald states that Chester
claims a turn.p that weighs seven and
a half pounds and that Lancaster
strains point and produces a turnip
that weighs eight pounds. Then
comes the Winnsboro News and Her.
aid and claims nine and a half
pound turnip for Fairfield. The
Herald now says that old York raises
the largest turnips and it has on ex-
hibit one that weighs twelve and a
half pounds.
The Herald and News is not exactly
familiar with the size Of turnips rails
ed in Newberry county but would re-
fer all Of these boasters as to big tur-
nips to the people of Woodruff. Some
time ago at an entertainment given by
the progressive town Of Woodruff a
turnip was on exhibition that weigh
ed sixteen pounds. All of these edi-
tors had better take back seat un-
less they can come nearer the Wood
ruff turnip.

In fact, We have in the office files
reaching back to the days Of The Ris-
iny Sun in the early fifties.
We have decided to place on our
roll Of honor the names Of all citizens
who have been subscribers to The
Herald and News and who have paid
for it and its predecessors for as long
period as fifty years. We have a
few who are nearly up to that mark
and we have had a good many who
have taken The Herald and News for
nearly that long and who have not
been prompt in their payments. On
our honor roll We propose to place
those who have paid for the paper as
we'll as read it during these years.
Capt. H. H. Folk. who lives four
miles from Newberry, began as a sub
scriber to the immediate predecessors
of. The Herald and News in 1855, and
has continuously and consecutively
paid for the paper during these years.
We have decided that, he is entitled
to receive it the balance of his life
with the compliments Of the publish
ers.
Capt. H. H.. Folk is a son Of Mr..
John A. Folk. and was born at his
fathers home near Pomaria on May
3lst, 1888. His father John A. Folk,
died in July, 1855, and on the End OF
October, 1856, Capt. Folk was mar
ricd to Miss Catharine A. Buzhardt,
and they lived together until the 29th
Of January, 1907, little more than
fifty years.
Capt. Folk became subscriber to
The Rising Sun about the time that
paper was established in 1855, and
has been subscriber to its success
sors, which include The Newberry
Herald and The Herald and News,
continuously since. In 1858 Capt.
Folk moved from his home IN Pomarla
to the place where he now lives ust
four miles from Newberry. During
the fifty-one years of his married life
there were nine children born, all OF
whom are still living, the first death
in the family being that of the wife
and mother, which, as stated, occur
red the 29th of January, 1907.
Tie children are: Mr.. John NJ.
Folk, who lives in Richland county,
and the following, all Of whom are

THE POWERS MAY

AND LOWER GREEK FLAG IN
CRETE, IF GREECE RE.
FUSES TO DO so.
CRETANS GUARD FLAG
House of Deputies Fails to Agree on
Hauling Down Flag, and Cretan
Ministers Resign Their
Positions.

London. Aug. 14.-Unless. Greece
complies with the demand of Turkey
and forces the people of Crete to haul
down the Greek flag which they have
hoisted, the four protecting powers of
1rete-Great Britain, Russia, Italy
and France-will perform this act,
using force if necessary. This was
the substance of a Joint note signed
by the four powers and presented to
the Turkish government today Each
OF these powers decided today to send
an additional warship to Crete. At
the same time they expressed hope
that Turkey would not order her fleet
10 Cretan waters.
Today's joint note is the direct re-
suit of a communication from the Gre.
tan government that it is unable TO
force the hauling dowr of the Greek
Tag This action of the powers fol.
lowed sharply upon Turkeys note to
Greece yesterday demanding a formal
declaration respecting her intentions
as to Crete, thus creating situatiCr
grave enough TO move the powers to
action
