Prospects Good Despite the War-Stu-
dents Will Miss Prof. Cannon, But
Arrangements wa he Made 20
Supply His Place

Newberry College will open Septem-
ber 20 for the sixty-first session.
The two days preceding September
1S and 19 will be given to examinations
for entrance. Students from high
schools who cannot offer the mini
mum of twelve units will be required
to take the examinations FOR entrance
to the Freshman class. This is
standing rule of the South Carolina
association of colleges.
1t is expected that the Freshman
c,ass at Newberry this year will be as
large as usual and there are good
reasons for believing it VIII be the
largest in many years. The college
, still maintains a Sub Freshman class,
for BOYS who find it imr rossible to get
in their home schools the required
preparation for entrance. This class
will have a big enrolment next year
Besides the large Freshman and SUP
Freshman classes there will be the
usual addition to the upper classes
particularly the Junior.
The dormitories and buildings Of
! the college group have been thorough
ly renovated during the summer vaca-
ton. The boarding hall will again
b. under the management of Mrs.
"A. C. Haltiwanger who gave such
entire satisfaction to the students
last session.
! Plans are being laid for the foot
ball season, to play the schedule OF
games already adopted. Newberry
will meet all the colleges on the
gridiron this fall having added Glenn
son to the list. The game with Pres
; byterian college will be played this
Thanksgiving at Clinton. Last session
! Newberry won the basketball champ
ionship for the third year in success
sion. It also won the baseball champ
ionship.
Military training will = given a,
the college, as a substitute ror the
gymnasium work 1t was decided that
this. would prove quite as valuable
as physical exercise, and will also
serve a patriotic purpose.
Mr.. William E. West has been en-
gaged to give the course in Military
Science and coach the athletic teams.
Mr.. West is graduate of the Okla
homa State A. and NJ He comes 20
Newberry with a splendid record as
an athlete and instructor
Newberry students will miss Prof.
G. B. Cannon when the return. IN
fact all friends of the college will re-
gret to learn that he has resigned to
accept the superintendency Of the
Newberry city schools. During the
fourteen years of his connection with
the college Prof. Cannon endeared
himself greatly to a host of Newberry
men who learned to admire him for
his scholarship and love him for his
sterling character Arrangements are
being made to supply his chair %
mathematics by the time college op-
ems.

Cincinnati Man Tells How to Shrivel
up Corns or CalluseS so They Lift
OF With Fingers

Ouch ? . ? E! This kind of
rough talk will be heard less here
in town if people troubled with corns
will follow the simple advice of this
Cincinnati authority, who claims that
few drops of drug called freezone
when applied to a tender, aching corn
or hardened callus stops soreness at
once. and soon the corn or callus
dries up and lifts right off without
pain.
He says freezone dries immediate
ly and never infiames or even irri-
tates the surrounding skin. A small
bottle of freezone will cost very lit
tie at any drug store, but will posi-
lively remove every hard or soft corn
or callus from ones feet. Millions
Of American women will welcome
this announcement since the inaugu-
ration of the high heels. If your
druggist doesn't have freezone tell
him to order a small bottle for you.
