Editor TIE Herald and News:
will you please grant me a little
space as a native of Newberry city.
I have been off 46 years. l have Wis
tied my old home town several times,
but l was cut off for 27 years. l had
the pleasure to spend IA DAYS in De-
cember, 1913, also again in July, 1914,
I never saw such marked improve
ment in people and the county at
large.
was more than delighted to meet
my people so good in my old mother
country-so quick-no drinking, no
drunkenness, no swearing-all quiet
until I got back to Columbia and
there met the old whiskey scenes that
make anyone feel bad.
I was so delighted that there SEEM
ed to be so much godliness prevail
ing, that religion is keeping pace
with the times. So much for a dry
county-no liquor hope grace may
abound rather than liquor

TRUSTEES MEETING.
Superintendent Swearingen Make.
AddreSS-Several Other Address
eS Are Made.

There was meeting of the trus-
tees Of the common schools held in
Newberry on Friday when State Su-
perintendent Swearingen and Luceo
Gunter were present and made talks
to the trustees
DR.. G. Y Hunter presided over the
meeting. He spoke of tie importance
of the Office o. trustee and said he
should have enthusiasm and be inter
ested in the school to be valuable
trustee. 1t too often happens that the
trustees and teachers do not have the
school spirit The teacher should be-
come part of the community and in
terested in everything tat was for
the advancement of the community
and the trustees should mingle with
the people and be the leaders in
everything for the advancement of
the school and the community.
Superintendent Swearingen then
spoke of the need Of cooperation. He
said Newberry stood in the forefront
OF the counties of the State in tie ad-
vancement which had been made by
the schools. There was no such thing
as finished school system. The
county was the unit of our
school system and the pro-
gress of the State was the
progress of the county He said that 50
per cent of the children OF the State
never advanced beyond the 7th grade
and about three per cent get into the
high school and about two per cent in
the college. The nigh school must be
the stopping point of thousands of
the children of the State. He spoke
of the illiteracy as developed by the
new enrolment required by the DEM
ocratic party. He advocated a seven
months school term He said that a
seven months term for the country
child was worth as much as nine
month terms for the child of the town
as the country child possessed great
er energizing ability We should get
rid of the one teacher school, and
prepare our boys and girls for college
in our country schools.
Superintendent Brown then gave
a talk to the trustees about the open
ing of the schools and clean up day
and other matters pertaining to the
betterment OF school condition in
Newberry county.
Tnen there was a general discussion
by the trustees on the advisability Of
a seven months term and an exhibit
at the State fair, and the publishing of
a school journal by the schools of
the county.
Mr. Luceo Gunter spoke of Model
sc2ool. He said the trustees them
selves had made the best speeches
of the day. When tne trustees decided
10 have something done the thing was
accomplished. The ideal school is the
school that is preparing the child
in mind and heart and body in COM
munion with God and in Fellowship
with man. He spoke OF what mad been
done in other counties and said the
same thing could be done in Newberry
and advocated consolidation of small
and weak schools.
Miss Sadie Goggans then gave
talk on what was needed in the matter
of equipment in the school,, and the
meeting was adjourned to meet on the
9Th of November.

NEWBERRY COLLEGE
OPENS THURSDAY
PROSPECTS ARE UNUSUALLY
BRIGHT.
Opening Exercises Will Be Held
in Holland Hall Thursday Morn
ing at S:45 O'clock.

EIerything is in. readiness for the
opening of college Thursday morning.
All the buildings have been cleaned
and put in good repair. All the prin-
cipal buildings are now conducted
with the sewer lines and conditions
are safe and sanitary. The entire col
lege plant was never in as fine condi-
tion as at present, and indications
are that a good year is ahead for our
college
An invitation is extended to all the
citizens OF Newberry to attend the
opening exercises at 8:45 o'clock
Thursday morning in Holland Hall.
Address will be made by Prof Virgil
B. Sease, Charles P. Barre, Esq, Col.
Walter H. Hunt, DR.. Geo. B. Cromer.
The college always appreciates the
presence of the townspeople as it
makes the out-of-town students feel
at home. Immediately after the open
ing exercises the various classes. will
be organized and the work of the ses-
sion begun.
The Library.
The college library has been put in
order during the summer. The walls
nave been newly calsomined, the
books made more accessible, and the
whole library made more attractive
and inviting. The college boys will.
regret the absence of Mrs. Holland,
who has been the college librarian
for many years. Many student has
been helped by her kindly suggestion
and aid in selection of books. Two
years ago as mark of appreciation
the students dedicated the college an
nual to Mrs. Holland. They will be
sorry that on account OF failing health
she has resigned ner position. Miss
Caroline Cromer succeeds her as Ii
brarian.
Mrs. Anna J. Ficken has opened the
boarding hall. Mrs. Ficken and her
family came to Newberry last week
and put the hall in order to accommo-
date the boys.
Prospects Unusually Bright.
The prospects OF a fine attendance
are unusually bright. Only a few
Withdrawals lave taken place on ac-
count of the cotton situation The
college will arrange wherever peces-i
sary to postpone payments On tuition
until business brightens. 1t is hoped
in this way to help students to carry
on their education
Ali the members Of the faculty will
return this year. There are to be no
changes in the staff, except that Mr..
Joseph L. Parrish succeeds Mr.. R.
L. Thomas as physical director.
The football squad has had daily
practices for over week. Nearly all
the members of last years eleven will
return. Some very promising mater
ial mas reported to Coach Parrish
during the week. Newberry will play
Davidson, Carolina, Furman, Wofford
and the Citadel Aand possibly others.
1t looks like baner year in athletics.

What Assembly Should Do.
Governor Blease, Wien he gave out
the proclamation for publication, stat
ed that he had just finished it and
that he had just concluded confer
ence as to what the general assembly
could and should do at it's extraordi-
nary session. He said that he did not
wish just at the moment to make any
: further statement than was made in
! the proclamation, but he wished to
stress the idea contained in the last
paragraph that the special session was
called For the consideration of mat
! ters hereinabove stated, and to pass
such laws as in their good judgment
may be necessary and proper for the
relief Of the citizens of our State" +"
! This is intended to mean that only
matter relating to the cotton situa7
+ ton and its resultants are to be con-
sidered.
Governor Blease thinks that if any
course, he could not restrict the length
; of the session, but it will be noted that
! the session is called for the sixth Of
October and the terms of the present
| Legislators who will be members of the
extraordinary session automatically ex-
pire on the Monday after the general
election in November. Parenthetically
! it may be Suggested that the governor
is probably not inclined to agree that
stay law OF some kind or form of
moratorium cannot be legally enacted.
\At all events he is going to have
something to say on this in his mes
sage and is most likely to recommend
some legislation that will result in
some form of postponing the payments
of debts. The general assembly is al
ready fully organized and it will not
take long for it to get in full swing.
! Governor Bleas thinks that if any
thing should occur between now and
the sixth o. October, which would tend
to solve the present financial and crop
conditions that he could recall all and
revoke the present proclamation.

PROCLAMATION.
Whereas, it has been made to ap-
pear to me by representations of many
citizens OF the State and by resolu-
tions of organized bodies, representing
the cotton growers of this State, that
condition has arisen within the last
few weeks whereby the price Of cotton
has declined to such an extent that it
is impossible for this staple product
of our State to be sold except at
ruinous loss, and that there is no way
whereby any arrangements or combl-
nations can be made to save the cot
ton growers from being absolutely sac
rihced, and many of our citizens Of
this class will become penniless and
without further means for the pay
ment of their debts, planting of their
crops and the support of their fam
lilies; and, further, that the financial
condition of the country has become
such that at present, and in all prob
ability will continue to be such for
some time, that it is impossible to
obtain credit on the security OF their
cotton except at ruinous and prohib-
tive rate, if at all; that this condition
is widespread and throughout the en-
tire cotton growing section OF the State
and it being made further to appear
that it is impossible for these working
classes of our citizens to obtain ad-
equate means for the support Of their
families dependent upon their labor,
and that they are unable to borrow
money on account of insufficient col
lateral or security unless it be at a
ruinous rate: that such condition OF
credit as exists and lack or confidence
that there will be any Improvement
of affairs in the near future which is
creating dispair among them; and it
further appears that all classes Of our
citizens are affected by this condition
which prevails in the State, and pos
sibly it appears throughout the whole
country, many Of the members of both
branches of the general assembly, and
representatives Of all classes OF our
citizens, nave urged upon me that this
state of affairs so existing IS an eX-
4raordinary occasion, demanding such
State government relief as can be
given by the general assembly within
the constitution, and that the exer-
else of every legislative function
should be brought into action to af-
ford a remedy for their distress and
to relieve our people and especially
should the State exercise it's power of
borrowing money to run the govern
ment, without demanding and exacting
from the people taxes that have been
levied for the present year, or for the
next succeeding year, whereby all Of
our citizens, and especially our far
mers and workingmen, should be af-
forded some relief.
In view of these representations,
and OF my own investigation into tie
condition of affairs, 1 now declare
that such an extraordinary occasion
exists in the State as requires and

with him He did not talk 10 her as
Bruce had done of the beauty OF her
eyes and the charm of her smile. But
he had a way OF telling her things
THAT were delightful, and as time went
on Cecily began TO feel that she was
in close communion with a wonderful
heart and mind.
"You don't paint your pictures, :"
she said one day, timidly. "You tell
them
Such sweet comradeship as 1t
grew to be! The Wayfarer sent to
town now and then for books, and
once there was a box of candy, and
at another time a wonderful bunch
of violets.
How extravagantt' said Cecly,
shifting the flowers with delight.
But you like them" said the Way
farer.
One day Bruce Esmond came back.
Il have n perfect right to come"
he said to the Wayfarer. Il am free
"Legally2" was the question.
"A divorce" said Esmond Now
l shall marry Cecliy,"
The anger OF the Wayfarer burst

said. You win break her heart as
YOU have broken the hearts of other
women who have trusted you~-you

And just then some one said be-
hind them, Are you talking about
me?" CecIly stood there. looking at
them with grave eyes.
It was Esmond who answered her.
"'He says / shall not marry YOU" he
said. And probably you think
treated you badly because / wooed
you before l was free. But ] loved
you so much. Cecily. And ha--he
1 has nothing but his money!
Cecily looked up at the Wayfarer.
Does he mean-that-that you are
rich?" she asked
Yes" said the Wayfarer
''But you came tramptnR along the
road like any common traveller"
Because | was tired Of the things
that riches could bring. I'll wanted
other things-like love--Cecily."
And SO they stood before her, these
two men, asking, pleading for her ia

You deceived me- she said, land
