The following letter which has been

President Holden Of Wooster Uni
versity sends the following congrat-
ulatory letter to the editor of The
Herald and News on the eletcion of
Henry Lee Dean Superintendent Of
the city schools:
Mr.. Editor:-I have just seen the
notice that Newberry's Board Of
Education has elected Professor
Henry Lee Dean, Superintendent Of
your city schools and I hasten to
congratulate you. Thinking that it
is always helpful for a community
to know the kind Of a man it has
entrusted its young people to, per-
nit me to tel you a story which
cannot but reflect credit on your
choice of a Superintendent.
One day in early September, some
years ago, my bell called me to the
door Of my residence. There stood
a sun-browned youth, hat in hand,
his clothes brown with dust, sweat
running down his face, leaving
streaks Of CRIME. Surprised that a
young man should present himself
anywhere in such a plight, I said:
"Well sir, what can I do for you?"
els this President Holden?" he
asked?
"Yes, SIR T replied.
"Well, sir, my home is in North
Carolina and I have come $50 miles
on my bicycle to enter Wooster. /
have called to ask your advice as To
where / should search for place
to earn my expenses. "
I saw at once that I was talking
to a. man who had seen vision and
was obedient to it. 'Come in sir, -
I said. "First Of all you need to
freshen yourself up, dine with me
and take rest, then We shall talk the
matter over"
After dinner, I piled him with
questions. "Why did you not come
to Wooster by RAIL-" I asked.
II used the railroad when T had
to- he said, "but I had my wheel
and my D1oney was insufficient to
buy a through ticket"
II see. But how do you expect
to get through college without some
money? 1t costs great deal to
get through a college course!"
II mean to work my way through.
I have heard that some boys have

Mr.. Henry L. Dean, who was re-
Gently elected by the board of trus-
tees superintendent Of the Newber-
ry graded schools, has been in New
; berry only for one year and having
come here a stranger to a great ma
jority Of our people and having dur
ing his first years work been con-
fined closely to the school room and
to his work, it will be appropriate
at this time to publish a little some
thing about his education and the
work in which he was engaged before
booming to Newberry, and the strug-
kgles of his early Life and how be ov-
Eercame difficulties.
i Prof. Dean is a native of Forrest
City, North Carolina, and his parents
being Of moderate means, he was
forced to be bread winner early in
&life, and never had the opportunities
hat great many young men have,
ut do not take advantage of. AS a
oy the only purpose which was a
ulng passion with him was to secure
college education. He was a great
leader and close student Of history
Ind at the age of fourteen or fifteen
Vas pretty we'll versed in history
though not having the advantages Of
ia school, knew very little Of mathe-
matics.
i About this time young man came
to his town from Pennsylvania and
opened a night school which young
Dean attended for several months,
working during the day. When the
night school closed he persuaded his
eparents to let him start in the day
School and after 4 years he graduated
from the grammar school with the
highest mark given by the school.
He then went to Washington college
in Tennessee and in order to save the
expense of railroad transportation he
made the distance Of three hundred
miles in less than a week walking
from his home. In onder to make
his expenses at this college he cut
wood and did other work around the
dormitories.
He entered the senior preparatory
class and won the highest houors in
Athat class, being selected to deliver
] the oration at commencement. At
the end of his first year President
Cooter, Of the college, interested a
wealthy friend of his in Pittsburg in
Prof, Dean and he offered him a
scholarship to be good for the en-
. tire college course and to include a
6ost graduate course at Harvard.
5BProf. Dean had already made his ar
rangements to go to Wooster in Ohio
and, therefore, declined this offer

system In the South.
The following in regard to Prof.
Dean is taken from last Sundays
Spartanburg Herald:
Prof. Henry Lee Dean, formerly
the head Of the Spartan High school
at Landrum, has just been elected
superintendent Of the public school
system Of Newberry. Prof. Dean,
who is a son-in-law Of DR.. S. T. D.
Lancaster, Of Pauline, has been e2-
ceedingly successful in his work as
an educator, and his ability has been
recognized in many ways, but most
conspicuously In an endorsement CIV
en- him by DR.. L. NJ. Roper, pastor of
the First Baptist church Of this city,
upon the occasion of his resignation
as principal of the Spartan High
school.
Since leaving Landrum Prof. Dean
has been principal Of the high school
at Newberry and his work there is
no doubt responsible for his promo
ton to the head Of the city's school
system.
Prof. Dean, who was born in North
Carolina, near Forrest City, started
when a lad to make a heroic fight
for an education and Won out. His
first opportunity to go to college, was
offered at Washington College, Tenn,
and to reach there in time for the
opening Of the session ne walked
from Forrest City, a distance Of one
hundred and ffty-six miles, follow
ing pretty much the line now occu-
pied by the c., C.. & O. railroad. La
ter when he went to school at the Un-
iversity Of Wooster, Ohio, his trips
home were made on a bicycle. These
things his friends say show the char
aeter of the young man who is to
head the Newberry school system.
The following has BEEN received
by the trustees from Mr.. F. B. Wood
ruff, county superintendent of educa-
ton ci Spartanburg:
TO the Trustees of the Newberry
Graded Schools: I see in a late pa
per that you have called to the head
Of your school work Prof. 81. L. Dean,
late Of our county. I beg leave to
congratulate both you and Prof.
Dean. T have known Prof. Dean for
several years, and know Of his work.
I had my son under his care for the
last two years of his high school
course. and know what I am saying
when I tell you that you could not
have made a wiser choice for a su-
perintendent Of your schools.
A mann of experience, an expert in
school work, a kind but firm discipi-
marian, he easily stands among the
best educators Of the times. From
my knowledge of his past work, if
he does not inject enthusiasm, sys-
TEN and intelligence into your schools
I shall be very much surprised.
Yours very truly,
F. B. Woodruff.

of bigamy preferred by wife No. /. a
month after the marriage, is dead OF
a broken heart. 1t is now said that
McClelland has still another wife liv-

tacit understanding that they will give

chase if he steps foot on their prem
Uses without an order from the state
dairy commissioner or the state veter-
mary surgeon. While there is no con-
certed move to drive the inspector off
the premises. should he appear, many
farmers have said that this Is what
they will do. They say the milk in
spection resolution, recently passed In
this city, which becomes effective Sept
1, can not affect them except thru
the work Of the state officials. and that
they will not submit to having the tu-
berculin test administered to their
dairy herds without an order from the
state. Some have said that they would
allow their herds to be tested if they
can be assured that they will receive
50 hundred for their milk the year
around.
A few farmers have threatened to do
personal violence to the city Inspector,
should he come on their premises with
the determination of giving the tuber-
culin test to their herds.
