The OLD DISPENSARY
MATTERS AGAIN AIRED
ALLEGED THREATS AGAINST PAT-
TON AND FIELDER.
John Gary Evans and Attorney Gem
eral Lyon Deny Blease's Implied
Charge.

Columbia, March 1.-The statement
by Mr.. Avery Patton, Of Greenyille,
member of the Ansel winding-up COM
mission, that threats had been made
against his life and that of T. B! Fell
der, the Atlanta attorney, while he
was serving on the commission, was
the sensational development at the
hearing before the dispensary inyesti-
CATION committee this afternoon. Mr..
Patton stated that the letters making
the threats were anonymous and bore
the Newberry postmark. The state
ment by Mr.. Patton that the author
ship of the letters was credited to the
then Senator Blease, was the striking
part Of the testimony. The alleged
connection and the basis for the
charge was not given.
Ex-Governor John Gary Evans and
Attorney General Lyon denied em-
phatically and characterized as with
out color of truth" the charge con-
veyed in the message Of Governor
Blease, sent to the legislature in 1911,
that an agreement had been reached
at conference in Atlanta between At
torney General Lyon, T. B. Fielder,
John Gary Evans and H. H. Evans
whereby the latter furnished informa-
ton which was used in the graft"
prosecutions growing out Of the old
dispensary regime and in the settle
ment between the liquor houses and
the dispensary winding-up commission
under Governor Ansel. The question,
which was. contained in message sent
to the legislature in 1911 by Governor
Blease demanding an investigation OF
the Ansel dispensary commission, was

Ex-Governor John Gary Evans and
ex-state Chairman H, H. Evans for

no such conference was ever held and

HUGE RATTLESNAKE
KILLED IN TIENDA
Manila Times, Jan. %.

Manila Times, Jan. %.
4 huge diamond rattlesnake 20 feet
long, 13 inches in diameter and with
a head seven inches wide, created a
panic in the Chinese tienda at No. q
Gale Dasmarinas at 1920 o'clock
last night, and put up fierce fight
before yielding its life after two bull
lets and several blows with crow
bar had been dealt it by Parrolmen
Card and Lynch.
The reptile was first noticed when
it crawled across the table. The ter
,rifed Chinese rushed yelling into the
street, overturning lot of small stock
in their haste to get out. When the
patrolmen arrived, the snake backed
into dark corner, and there, with
cleaning eyes, blood curdling Kisses,
and awesome rattles, fought to the
last breath.

NEYBERRY COLLEGE.
The President Making Strenuous
Struggle to Increase the En-
dOWment Fund.

Editor The Herald and News:
There can be no doubt that but few
friends of Newberry college know
what a strenuous effort the president
of the college, DR.. Harms, is making
to increase the endowment of the in
.stitution over which he presides and
which he loves by the much needed
sum Of $4,000 One-third of this sum
is promised by Mr.. Carnegie on con-
dition that the remainder be raised
among other friends Of the college.
But to collect $4,000 in a territory
of two or three States which are over
run by other collectors is herculean
task. 1t would be easy enough in
Jumps of ten or even five thousand
dollars, but when the largest and rich
est givers do not exceed two or three
hundred, it can readily be seen what
Aa high mountain DR.. Harms has un-
lertaken to scale

A Marriage at West End.

On Saturday afternoon at o'clock
the Rev. J. B, Harmon, at the Luth-
eran parsonage in West End, perform
ed the marriage ceremony which unit
ed loving couple-Miss Annie Bouk-
night and Mr.. n. J. Kirby. The bride
and groom left on the 800 train for
Florence, their future home. Mrs.
Kirby is the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
]. R. Bouknight, of West End. Both
bride and groom are popular in their
circles. Mr.. Kirby spent six months
last year in Newberry as an insurance
agent, leaving here in June, since
which time he hadn't seen his fiancee
until he came to be married, but the
two hearts in the love match were
faithful to each other and the happy
marriage was the result.

ELOQUENT SERMON
BY DR.. ]. Il. HARMS
%sCHRISTIAN EDUCATION" DEPICT
EDIN GRAPHIC LANGUAGE.
Was Preaching in Behalf of the Luth-
eran College at NeWberry-Ex-
toIled Influence of College.
The State.

The State.
Rev. ]. Henry Harms, D. D., presi-
dent of Newberry college, preached to
two large congregations yesterday in
st. Paul's Lutheran church on the
subject, Christian Education" DR..
Harms is presenting this subject to
the Lutherans of this State, and also
Georgia and Florida, with the view
of increasing the interest which the
members of the Lutheran church al
ready hold in regard to the welfare
and progress of the college.
The principal service was held last
night, the congregations of Ebenezer
and St. Paups uniting in filing st.
Paurs church to it's utmost capacity
with an attentive audience.
The Text.
DIR. Harms IN choosing his text from
the call of the Prophet Isaiah to an
cient Israel to "lengthen thy cords
and strengthen thy stakes declared
it was no less a call which has come
down the ages to the church today,
and claiming the urgent interest and
the best attention of the reddest
blooded men of the times in which we
live. The church of Jesus Christ, said
Dr.. Harms, is the biggest enterprise
in the world. 1t exceeds in import
ance every other enterprise which in
terests the mind of man. 1t is not sur
passed by either political or social en-
terprises-this great scheme for the
redemption of mankind.
Church COmpels Advance
The position which the church thus
holds necessarily compels an advance
"a strengthening of stakes. The
church relies on education as one of
the foremost means for its perpetua-
ton and progress. In the colleges OF
the church her ministry and laity
must be trained for the best service.
-Ninety-three per cent. of the minis
tiers are graduates of colleges. The
church college does not give sectarian
instruction when it gives the Bible
place in it's curriculum. The Bibo
belongs to no denomination, and it
rightly finds the place in the college
which stands for Christian education
and the importation of character.
Colleges a Factor.
DIR. Harms presented many interest
ing arguments and valuable statistics
in behalf of the claims of the church
colleges as a factor in the work OF
education. He stated that under the
commission of the South Carolina Lu-
theran synod it was his pleasure to
present the matter of increased en-
dowment of Newberry college to the
.Lutherans of Columbia. The plan is
to raise $4,000, in order to secure
S25,OOO offered by Andrew Carnegie.
More than half of the amount of $780,
900 has already been secured. DR..
Harms will spend several days in the
city in the work, and hopes that the
whole amount can be reported as rails
ed at the June meeting of the trustees.

What is going to become OF our
streets? Did you ever see them in the
condition they are now? They are
worse than the public roads, I am
told. A city with all the advantages
Newberry has should set the example
in all forward movements and all
things that are for the betterment of
the people. The rains are now over
for a while and the split log drag can
work wonders if given the opportun-
ity. The loler.

RURAL SCHOOL BULLETINS.
Prof. W. X. Tate Calls Attention to
Many Bulletins OF Interest to
Teachers.
To the Rural School Teachers o
South Carolina:

SOuCQ CdfOlAud.
While it is generally known that the
United States government is now is
suing hundreds of bulletins helpful to
farmers and teachers, I feel that the
teachers of South Carolina are not suf-
fciently we'll acquainted with the va
riety of these bulletins and the great
possibilities Of using them in connec-
ton with their school work. The de-
partment Of agriculture has just is
sued Circular 10, entitled "Publicat-
ions of the Department of Agriculture
Classified for the Use Of Teachers"
This is pamphlet of 36 pages, and in
it a teacher may find classified for
ready reference the various bulletins
which may be used in the school room
and in the rural community. Every
teacher in the State should have a
copy of this circular. 1t may be OBJ
tanned by dropping a card Of request
to the secretary of agriculture, Wash
ington, D. c.
Many of these bulletins could very
properly find a place in the rural
school library, and could be distribut7
ed and read not only by the children
of the school, but by the farmers in
the community They will add inter
est and variety to the work in agricul-
ture, and will prove for the teacher a
fertile source of suggestions in the
adaptation of her school to the needs
of the community. The following are
noted especially for their direct bear
ing on our work in South Carolina,
and teachers should secure them at
once; they are free.

additional endowment for NeWberry
college, nor can any one name an IN
stitution more worthy Of help than
Newberry college. Upon it we are de-
pendent in the Southern portion OF the
Southland for the replenshing Of the
ranks of the Lutheran ministry. The
public schools of South Carolina re-
ceire more teachers from its wall than
any other college in the tSate furnish
es. Our homes are embellished and ele-
waited by men and women educated in
the halls of Newberry college.
Few friends realize what a difficult
task it is for DR.. Harms to go from
city to city, from congregation to con-
gregation, from man to man, in his
noble efforts to secure the needed sub
scriptions, and that too while he must
bear the ordinary burdens of proVid-
ing for the current expenses of the
institution, of performing his duties
as president at long range, Of spending
his time like a drummer on the road
when he should be with the students
at college, of absenting himself from
his family, in the bosom Of which he
has a right to be sheltered and to en-
JOY himself the same as we, the
friends of the college, have.
1 feel that great deal might be
done to tighten these burdens of our
president and to make his efforts sue
cessful. The town and county of New
berry are the places most largely and
directly blesseed and benefited by the
location of this institution of learn
ing. The closest and warmest friends
of the college reside within the boun-
dary line of Newberry county. Now,
let the trustees of the college Of whom
number live in NeWberry, call a
large mass meeting in the near future
and lay the matter before the business
men and citizens generally and let at
least $4,000 be subscribed for the in
stitution and the work of the presi-
dent encouraged and brought to sue
cessful issue. Fifty years ago the
friends and professors of the college
took off their coats, rolled up their
sleeves and with the profuse sweat
of their honest brows saved the school
they loved so well, We do not need
to do that, but we love the institution
just as much and we must preserve it
on it's onward course of usefulness and
to do this its friends must adjust the
combination, open the safe and mani
fest a large hearted liberality. Let
our president be supported in his low
ing efforts and let the institution be
improved and strengthened by the
generosity of its many friends. Un-
der the munifcent leadership of the
beard of trustees failure is impossible.
A Friend Of Newberry College.

Speaking about preaching and SER
mons I wonder if any one can tell me
where to find the following quotations.
In what part of the Good Book do they
appear? If they are not there they
are very true and are very good texts
from which to preach in this day:
GA man may know his wife, but no
woman knoweth her husband.
"If thy husband kiss thee, count thy
silver; he may have stolen a spoon.
eff he praise thee, look for Hagar
in the bushes; he loveth another"
Let me give you a few more texts
upon which to ponder. They will
probably entertain you and keep you
from idle gossip and that may accom-
plish some good. Listen:

Mr. Idler: l am sure you will be
glad to know your little sermons are
much enjoyed and appreciated by old
ladies, as we'll as younger ones, who
are visitors to the rest room, and ask
ed me to tell you so, and as you are
very old man, as you write, so to in
vite you to the rest room and maybe
you will have something nice to say
for the ladies' home place, as they feel
that it is theirs by virtue of right,
title and interest in the old county
court house, as much so as county OF
ficials who have a fine new court
house built for their use, but not
space for women or children. That
is one reason we love the old court
houses east room for We feel it is
ours, to have and to hold and to bring
our babies and rest when shopping is
finished and chat with a friend, and
look out on Main street and see the
sights of the city with all the stores
in sight, and close of doctors, dentists
and postofice, market and fruit shops.
And there is no fine parlor in town we
prefer to our room. The country
people have good trees and grass at
home, with old time flowers and sing
ing birds all day long, so your ap-
peal for a park must be for your city
people, and hope you will get one as
the deed of some noble hearted per-
sons, who will give the city land for
a park in the near future. But we
country women would not have time
to hunt it's rest as we do in a rest
room, in a cozy rocker and at warm
fire place. So just write something
for our room and the good gentlemen
of your town who have given such
sympathy to us and our little ones,
and when you come our way we will
let you sit under big oaks, walnut and
hickory trees and smoke your pipe in
peace and write little sermons for
The Herald and News, and feed you
on fried chicken, home cured hams
and Dutch oven light bread, and if
you bring a candidate for any office,
be sure that he is On our side and
stands pat for the country women and
children. One OF Many.

The above has been sent to me, and
T am glad that the women are pleased
with my sermons and will from time
to time, continue their delivery. AS to
the rest room it is my recollection that
it was The Herald and News which
first suggested the old court house for
such a purpose That was before l
began writing for the paper Seems
to me The Herald and News opposed
tearing it down when the question was
submitted to the voters, and suggest
ed that it be used for rest room for
the ladies from the country. That
such room was needed, and that this
was too substantial a building to be
torn down, and that its location was
such that it would make an ideal rest
room. and that the whole building
should be used for such purposes
the upstairs for public meetings and
the down stairs that was not needed
for rest room purposes could be made
into an ideal public library. If it did
not, that is my recollection. And it
could be used for these purposes to
great advantage to the people of the
entire county. None of the building
should be rented to private parties.
This is a matter that vitality concerns
the merchants of the town and have
been surprised at their apathy and
indifference to a question that so vi
tally concerns them. But if it suits
them it suits me.

BIease's Reply to Inquiry.

The other feature Of the meeting of
the dispensary investigating commit
tee this morning was the reply Of
Governor Blease to the marshal of the
committee when he was sent to ask
the governor to lay any information
he had before the commission. That
all the communication he had for them
was contained in his letter sent them
some time ago, that he had nothing
further for them and that he didn't
want to be bothered any more about
the matter" In other words the gov
ernor notifies the committee that he
will have nothing to do with it.
The legislative committee to probe
into all matters connected with the
State dispensary met today promptly
at noon in the State library and began
work. The members were all present,
except Representative Cary, who ar
rived in the afternoon. Senator Car
Isle, the chairman, presided. The first
matter was the swearing in Of Capt.
R. H. Kennedy as marshal of the COM
nlittee. Senator Clifton examined the
witnesses for the committee. Present
for the morning session were DR.. W.
J. Murray, Messrs. J. Steel Brice, OF
Yorkville, and Avery Patton, of Green
Vile, members of the Ansel dispensary
committee; Mr.. W. F. Stevenson, OF
Cheraw, who was attorney for the COM
mission, and who will represent them
at the investigation; Attorney General
Lyon and former Governor John Gary
Evans, of Spartanburg.
John Gary Evans Testifes.
Former Governor Evans was first
called to the stand. Asked relative to
his alleged conference with H. H. EV-
ans, Attorney General Lyon and Field
er, in Atlanta, contained in the charge
Of Governor Blease in the question re-
ferred to above Mr. Evans said there
was no foundation in fact for the
charge of any such conference, and
that it was never held; that he had
