COLLEGE OPENING.
Newberry College Began Work Again
Wednesday Morning-AddresS
by Rev. Ii. 4. Mccullough.

Newberry college was the bright
snot on the landscape Wednesday.
Nurky and muddy weather prevailed
everywhere but in the happy crowd
of college students that meet in Hol-
land hall for the opening of the New
Year" of college toll and pleasure.
The exercises were conducted by
President Harms, beginning promptly
at S.45 o'clock. The singing, always
good, never sounded so hearty. After
the deyctiona! exercises the president
introduced the Rev. II. A. Mccullough,
of the class of 1898, pastor Of St.
Paul's Lutheran church, Columbia 5.
C. It was one Of the most effective
addresses ever delivered in Holland
hall. He referred to his pleasure at
heing back amongst old friends and
old scenes. He urged the students to
raise their ideals of life. The curse
of the times, he said, is contentment
with the low, with the average. He
argued that the man worth while is
the man who wants to be better than
"tbe average" Nothing but "the BEST
ought to satisfy our ambition. The
whole address was listened to with
rapt attention, and the only fault the
boys found with his speech WAS that
it was not long enough. After he an-
ished the students got together and
gave Is rousing New Year "rahs" for
Newberry and Is more for "McCul-
lough."
The schedule for the day was taken
up, and by evening the machinery was
in full motion.
The next event of interest to the
students is a visit from Rev. E. c.
Cronk next Friday. Mr.. Cronk is gen.
eral secretary Of the laymen's move
ment, and brings strong message.
Friday evening in Holland hall he
will give his illustrated lecture on
Japan, to which the citizens of the
town are invited.

meeting, which was to have been
held, was dispensed with, and a So
cial meeting Was held instead. The
guests were, soon invited into the
dining room where Mrs. Davis had
prepared an elegant supper, Consist
ing of turkey, chicken salad, sand
wiches, pickles, hot chocolate, and
all kind of cakes. When the guests
returned to the parlor, musical selec-
tons were rendered by Mrs Eta Bed

Mr.. G. K. Davis.
When time arrived to go home the
hest informed the guests that it was

use Of it, so the Young ladies started
right away by asking the company of
the young men on their hom3ward
jonrnnE, which waz GLADLY accepted.
Thus ended the very pleasant even
ing Of January I, 1912.

Marriage license.

His honor, Judge Frank NJ. Schum-
pert, granted a license Wednesday for
the marriage of Mr.. Woodward Fol
som, of Bishopvil., J, to Miss Verna
of Newberry. This makes 161
licenses granted up to Wednesday.
There seems to be some question
as to what county should grant the
licenses, the one where the groom
lives, or that of the bride. But either,
1t seems will do, though Judge
Schumpert may properly suggest that
the better practice would be for the
county where the groom lives, as
that is most likely to be the place
where the children will ha\born and
grow up; though there is nothing in
the law compulsory either way.

is something out Of the common. Al
the Kameyama hospital, however, this
recently occurred. The hospital was
founded and is conducted by a so

some three hundred leper patients
The costs of the establishment are
paid by voluntary subscriptions and
by the sale of the produce of the hos
pital garden and handiwork of the pa
tients. The latter receive no pay
ment for their services, beyond theil
board, lodging and medical attend
ance and a small sum for pocke
money, which Is calculated at the
rate of farthing per day. Recently
the lepers demanded an increase II

struck work, and over hundred es
