most exact opposites. One was a griz-

even the clumsiest criminal could not

he was; the other, young-looking for
even his thirty years, might have been
readily mistaken for college tutor or

Greeks have occupied Elassona, but
these are regarded as minor affairs, In
which no real resistance was offered.

The NeWberry Primary.
Anderson Intelligencer.

Anderson Intelligencer.
The defeat of Col. Ebert H. Aull in
Newberry for superintendent of educa-
tion, is to be regretted. Col. Aull was
appointed to the, Office to fill an un-
expired term and was candidate for
the full term at the recent primary,
but was defeated by George D. Brown.
If our recollection serves US right, Col.
Auil's administration as county super
intendent for NeWberry was endorsed
by the State superintendent of educa-
ton Whether this be correct Or not,
we know of our own knowledge that
he was Jealous in the handling of the
work of the schools and there was no
one in this State more interested in
school work than Col Aull. For years
he has worked in his newspaper for
the upbuilding of the schools of New
berry county and in general for the
cause of education. We do not know
Col. Aull's opponent in the race, but
we are sure that no better man for the
position could have been secured than
the veteran editor of the Newberry
Herald and News. We are also salts
fed that Col. Aull will continue to
wage his fight for the cause of educa-
ton.

DIR. HARMS IN CHARLESTON.
Newberry President breaches Eloquent
and Strong Sermon to Lutherans
at st. Johns Church.
News and Courier, 21st.

News and Courier, 21st.
Taking his text from Galatians and
having for his theme the mastery OF
man over circumstances and environ
ment, the Rev. J. Henry Harms, D. D.
president of Newberry college, preach
ed most eloquent sermon at St
Johns Lutheran church yesterday
morning. A large congregation heard
this sermon, full of the most striking
thoughts. DR.. Harms has preached
many times in Charleston and he has
always fulfilled the expectations OF
those who went to hear him.
Disraeli said, MAN is rot the crea-
tune of circumstances; circumstances
are the creatures of man" DR.. Harms S
sermon bore out and exemplifed the
same thought. Dr. Harms summed up
his sermon briefly. Speaking of the
salutation in his text, he said:
"This salutation bespeaks the uncon-
querable spirit. There is signifl-
canoe in these words which we all
ought to feel. These men subdued the
circumstances in which their lives
were cast. The question is, shall cir
cumstances rule US, or shall We rule
circumstances?
Speaking of heredity and environ
ment and the claims of heredity, DR..
Harms said:
'Blood tells, but it does not tell
everything, and man can be far bet
ter than his ancestors. The courts and
customs of society are based upon this
assumption. He must answer fer his
own crimes, not for those Of his grand
father. Neither has environment the
right to rule over us. A man can rise
superior to the circumstances that ap-
pear to hinder and handicap him. Su-
b!ime have been these moral victories.
"The plain lesson of this salutation
is that any man can dash down the
cup of pleasure that holds the elements
of sin and that the young woman can
scorn the promised clusters and keep
her paradise. They that be for us are
more than they that be against us.
These men salute US from dungeon
with the gospel of victory which de-
clares, 'We are more than conGuerors,
through Him that loved u.s.
DR.. Harms visited number of
his Charleston friends yesterday. He
leaves the city this morning Oil the
800 o'clock train.
