1t would be impossible to name the

Newberry college into the schools of
Newberry county, or to give even a
faint conception of their work in the
training of the youth of Newberry
county. 1t has been the boast Of the
friends of the college that its training
is thorough rather than snowy, that
it looks to the substance rather than
the shadow, that its aim is to give an
education in the true meaning of the
word. From the days of its founding
it has been surrounded by an atmos-
phere of Christian culture, and its
work has been work of broad Chris
tan endeayor.

widened, its influences has broad
ened, and the public schools of New
berry have received, directly and in
directly, a large share of the benefits

the county.

Nothing can more directly benefit
people than an increase in the eff
cheney of their public schools. New
berry county is heavily in debt to
Newberry college. Newberry county
has been loyal to the college, but has
done none too much for it. The peo-
pie of the county can not benefit them
selves more directly today than by a
resolve to give the college more earn
est support than ever before.

Newberry county as a permanent loan

Newberry county as permanent loan
fund.
1t is clear that the talent that was
entrusted to Newberry thirty-five
years ago in the shape of a college
has brought to the community much
more than ten other talents in actual
material financial gain, to say nothing
of the moral and intellectual benefits
that have resulted to the community.
1t is worth keeping in mind that there
are in this town, to say nothing of the
county, 70 educated men and women
who are graduates of Newberry col

NeWberry College and the Public
Schools.
The influence of a Christian college
upon the life of a community is i'm
measurable, and this influence bears
directly upon and is of large benefit
to the public schools.
Newberry college bears a dual rela-
ton to the public schools Of Newberry
county. Standing in the midst of these
schools, it becomes, so far as its ef-
feet upon the life of the county is
concerned, really a part of the coun-
tvs school system, beckoning the pub
lie school pupils, and affording the
pubic schools an opportunity of sc

college averages 125 a year. Estimat-
ing that it costs these students an an
average of $3.50 a year, they bring to
the community annually $31,250. Be
sides. there are from the town and
county Of Newberry some so students,
who do not pay board, but who cost
an average of $3.50 each per year If
they were sent off to college. Put the
so down at only 5000 each, and there
is an annual saving to the community
of $4,000. This makes the total an
nual financial benefit to the college
41,250.
That is a pretty fair annual dividend
on an original investment of $4,000.
If the man that is figuring on the
question whether Newberry college
pays as a financial asset would like to
pursue the matter further, he might
note that in the last few years the
college has brought to this county an
endowment fund of $4,000. He
might make an additional note that DR..
Harms is now carrying on a vigorous
campaign that will soon result in an
additional endowment of $4,000. A
considerable portion of this endow-
ment is contributed by citizens of
Newberry; but the fact remains that
the endowment will put $150,0OO in

DANCE A GREAT SUCCESS
Good Attendance and Fine Music
Make Occasion a Success and a
Much Enjoyed Event.

The last dance of the season given
by the Holiday Eve Club in the Arm
DRY Hall Thursday evening was prob
ably the most delightful dance which
the CLUB has ever held since its organ.
lzatioA. The music furnished by the
Sumter Orchestra was all that the
dancers could have wished for and
the floor was in fine condition for
dancing, two features which added
much to the enjoyment of the occas-
ion and went to make the affair the
success which everyone present
thought it,
The dance being the last of the Sc
ries during the season as usual was
marked by the distribution of favors
during the German, the favors being
horns, caps, confetti, mirrors for the
ladies, and various other pretty
trinckets which afforded amusement
to the dancers. The German COM
menced after refreshments had been
pnSSeu diOunu sometime after mid
night and was gracefully lead by Mr..
Henry P. Moses, assisted by Mr.. I. c.
Strauss, many fancy figures Of the
| dance being gone through with and
| much more interest than usual being
shown in this feature of the evenings
program. Punch was passed around
to the dancers before the dancing
commenced and again about l o'clock
when other refreshments were served.
Besides the many club members
from town who attended the affair
there were many out town guests,
some of whom were: Misses Henri
eta Kohn of Orangeburg, Halle Car
rison of Camden; LA Mayors Of Sa-
vannah; Virginia Saunders Of Ha-
