late Reformed PRESBYTERIAN

Associate Reformed presbyterian.
AS noted in our local columns, a
telegram was received here On Mon
day of this week announcing the death
of Prof. william Hood the night be-
fore. We have none of the partlcu-
lars, but hope to give them in our
next issue.
Prof. Hood was native of Chester
county, s. C. He graduated at Ersk-
inc college in 1855 in the class with
Rev. J. C. Boyd, DR.. Latham, Rev.
Monroe Oates and others. Some time
during the sixties he was the state
treasurer and on, or shortly after,
tie expiration of that term he came
to Due West as professor OF Bellies
Letters and Geology and occupied
that position until the close of the
collegiate year 1S90-91. He taught
in the public schools of washington
D. c., for awhile and then went TO
Barlow, Fla, as president of Summer
lin Institute. During his connection
with Erskine college, he was elected
to the legislature Of this State and
served in the famous Wallace House.
During recent years he had tVea
quietly with a daughter in Barto".
He was active there as here in church
and Sabbath school work. For many
years he was superintendent of the
SABBATH school and the leader of tbs
music in the Due West church. HIS
wife, who was before marriage MISS
Matte Mclaughlin Of Newberry, pre-
ceded him to the grave several years
ago. He leaves a large circle OF chill
dren, grandchildren and friends to
mourn his loss. To all of these the
Presbyterian extends it's sympathy.

Lutheran Five Wins Championship
Titie.-Carolfna Team Loses.

The State.
BY defeating the University Of
South Carolina basketball team in the
university gym last night by score
of A 20 2a, the Newberry college FIVE
practically cinched for the third con-
secutive season the title to the State
basketball! championship. Drivers
men have lost only one game this
year, lost none Of the 13 games played
last year and lost only one of the
contests the preceding year. The
LutherarS are conceded to have the
bcs. basketball machine in the State.
The gan>c breal with a rush, the
first half ending with a score OF 19
tc Is in favor of Carolina. The uni
versity lads continued their lead until
far into the second half but the
Lutherans tied the score, % to 2S,
and turned victory into defeat by
shooting a series of field goals in
rapid succession. Renken and kenne-
dy starred for. the visitors, Taylor also
doing excellent work for NeWberry.
Martin did stellar work for the Game
cocks and Bowen piled up six field
goals in the first half in spite OF q
broken finger. Both teams were we'll
represented by supporters in the gal
leries and college spirit and enthus-
iasm ran high. The expectation that
last nights game would be the snap
piest pluckiest game played on the
university floor this year was amply
realized. Carolina supporters are
comforted in their loss to the champ
ion team Of the State by the fact that
the Gamecocks remained game to the
end, putting up stiff fight to the very
last.
