NEWBERRY COLLEGE HAS AUSPEC10US OPENING; THE LARGEST FRESHMAN CLASS s 1> HISTORY 0 PCOLLEGE. r Formal Opening: Thursday Morning? t Warm Greetings From. Pastors } and Others. p c Tha fnrmo! rvrvpninsr nf thp 59th ses- 5 sion of Newberry college was held in c Holland hall on Thursday morning, c The large auditorium was filled with c students and friends of the college ? from the city. It is a great time for Newberry be- < cause Newberry college is peculiarly t the pride of the people of Newberry t and all interests are always glad when t the time comes to bring the boys back among us. ' Good feeling and good cheer per- s vaded the college and on the campus * on Thursday and the streets present a c different appearance. As one of the v speakers said, the people of the town * as well as the authorities at the col- 1 lege and the old folks at home, are ex- ' pecting great things of the students, 1 and it is hoped none of these expecta- x tions will meet with disappointment. ^ Dr. Harms, president of the college, presided at the opening exercises in a Holland hall on Thursday and there 15 was no difficulty in concluding that he c u was happy over the auspicious open -1L ing of the college. t As has been the custom for many years, a number of the citizens of the town were r~ 'sent and the pastors of the town, by nvitation, to extend the a welcome of the city and the churches to the student body on their return . to books. c IMiayor Z. F. Wright was first pre- r> sented and he said he would turn the n town over to the students, for they q "would take it any way, but, he said t to the students, if you do take it, be careful where you take it. He was ai- t "ways glad to welcome the students t to Newberry. It make the town lively j< to have them. He though the Newberry college boys were always good, t He said we had a chief of police and t a few policemen, but they were chiefly \{ ornaments and were kept on account of their good looks, as the town had very little use otherwise. He said he brought Chief Duncan along with him I to extend the welcome of the town and to prove what he had said about the good loogs of the force ? ? ?- -V ? :i i- - j ~ 1 r L>r. warms saia uiat 11 u<tu aivraja been the custom of the college to have ihe greetings of the pastors of the c town, and he introduced the first 0 speaker, Rev. F. E. Dibble of the Meth- 1 odist church. Mr. Dibble said }t was * c a great pleasure for him to extend the welcome of himself and the Methodist a folk of the town to the students. Be- t fore he came here, he said, he had the r idea that Newberry was a Lutheran ^ college, but since coming he had found it was peculiarly a Newberry college, ^ and that all interests took a pride in the institution. He said it was a won- G derful thing to belong to the highest ^ aristocracy the world knows, the aris- ** tocracy of learning The more we E studied the more we found out the J little we knew. Dr. Carlisle, the noted ' president of Wofford college, told Mr. Dibble's class as they were leaving the ^ college if they had learned in the four ? * - -_11 * 4.1* yv.- ^ years 01 meir couege course umi uio; did not know anything they had made good progress. He would be glad to ' see the students at the Methoist church. No one needed religion more than the student. It is a good balance and only as the student has that balance can he make a well rounded man. 4 Rev. J. W. Carson of the A. R. P. church was next introduced. He said that he appreciated the invitation to be present. He said he felt like the stu* dents represented a part of the work of the city. He was present not so much as the representative of the church to which he belonged, but a3 one interested in the Christian work of the town. He said this wa3 a new age in which we lived and the young people must get the spirit or the age f if they wanted to do things. He knew i some business firms that had gone out 2 of business because they didn't inter- s i pret aright the spirit of the age in ] which they were living. There are 1 ~4 +a 7o.A r/111 f great yiuuicuis cv/ uo ovuvu j ^ ^ k are here preparing to meet those prob- < lems and help in their solution. Char- 1 acter Is the main tiling and Is the s principle asset of any community. Rev. Edw. Fulenwider was then presented. He was glad to welcome the! itudents back to Newberry and to see j ;o many new faces. He wanted to J ;peak briefly on the importance of < neeting all the expectations of life, j some of the advice you get, he said I o the students, you will take and some ou will not. There are always some eople somewhere expecting something >f you. The college expects something ire those who are expecting something )f you ;The college expects something >f you. Dr. Harms is the house father )f the college and he is expecting j something of you. And if you do not j iisappoint him you will make him feel! ;ood. The churches of the town and j he town itself are expecting someliing of you. And they have a right o expect something. ~ 1 " TT TT i. ~ J J ?* ? P +U n UOi. W. n. nuiiL, presiucui ui m- ; sewberry College club, was then pre-; ented. He said as he came overhis mind vent back many years and he thought j )f Dr. Holland and his last spoken i vords wishing blessing on the college, j ie paid a high tribute to Dr. Holland, j le said the spirit of Dr. Holland still j ived in the college community. If )r. Holland could only be permitted o look on this splendid assemblage it vould make his heart glad. He said s'ewberry college had sent many men j ind women into the various walks of j ife and they were leaders in their lines | if endeavor. He wanted the college oys and girls to get acquainted with ne people and the people of Xewberry ranted to know them better. Dr. Harms said he had been looking ver the audience to select some one 'f the girl graduates to call upon for speech, but he did not make the call. Dr. Cromer sent his regrets at not ieiDg able to be present, as he was ailed out of town. Kev. Aioert reiser f the wild and wooly West, one of the ew professors. Dr. Harms said, revested to be excused and promised n talk at some future time. W. H. Shaw, the physical director, hen made a short talk and asked that he boys get in training for the athptic field.

Sheriff Blease Write (Governor Tliat He Has Been Active in Enforcing Laws?No Liquor on Border. On Monday afternoon Gov. Manning sent a telegram to Sheriff Blease that j he understood that liquor was being J illegally transported from Union!; county into Newberry county. At the' same time, and before Sheriff Blease, had received the telegram, it was given i to the Record for publication, it does! seem a little strange that he would ' give the telegram o'lt for publication j before it was sent, or at the same time i it was sent, for by thii, as Sheriff, Hiease says, it would nave me enecu of putting those 011 notice who were violating the law and make them more cautious if there were any violations cr attempt at violation. Sheriff Blease, : however, immediately sent his depu-! ties to the Union line, but they found no violators. The Herald and News asked Sheriff. ' -L J.i~ - ??

However, I did not wau to get from ' you the information you had, and on ' which you based your wire to me, be- 1 fore making efforts to prevent the violations of law complained of. As soon as your message was received, I dispatched two officers, Messrs.

V.'hitmire is the only town'in this . county near the Union county line, and . in the past there was some trouble as i lo the transportation of liquors from Union county to Whitmire and that vu-initv. Mr. W. F_ ..Howard, mayor of Whitmire, has been exceedingly energetic in the enforcement of the liouor laws, and he and his officers l.ave co-operated with me in such matters. I m?de inquiry of Mr. Howard on the 13th as to the situation around Whitmire, and I quote you herewith his letter to me in reply to my inquir\: "Whltinire, S. C., Sept. 13th, 1915. 1 "Mr. Cannon Blease, Sheriff of Newberry County, Newberry, S. C. "Dear Sheriff: ! "Your phone message received in regard to liquor being transported from Union county to Newberry. If these is any beinf. brought on this side of the river, I do not know any thing about it. I do think they are bringing it to the river, but we have been on the lookout for them to cross and I told Mr. Melton tha* if I found out they were crossins T would call you up and let you know at once. "I have never asked any help from I you or your men but what was granted j ] at once, and if seme of the other coun-1 Lies was looked after a; good as Newberry is I believe we would have better times. I wish, if it is possible, you ! would find out whether the governor j 1 got his information from Whitmire or not*. "I will make a statement to this effect { and get all of the town officials to sign it for you if you want it." I "Your friend, "W. F. Howard. Mayor." I My two deputies were along the Union county line Monday afternoon and night and yesterday. They returned ] here last night and reported nothing ' unusual in the liquor situation so far as this countv is concerned. After a!' i thorough investigation they found no j evidence as to any 'Violations of the! law. My officers, of course, had no j right or authority to go into Union j county. ! I have done, as you requested, made 11 si? investigation of the matters com-; plained of. Perhaps some more inves-i' tigation could have been made had I; the information which ivou had re ceived. If you will kindly furnish me' that information, and the sources, 11 shall be very glad to continue my in-!' v stigations, and I am sure that Sheriff j Fant of Union will co-operate with me. | ' The liquor situation in this county, j1 as to the enforcements of the laws, is J t xceedingly good now, as it has been 1 during my term of office. I have made it my business to enforce these laws !1 just as I have all the other laws. The' sentiment of the people of this county 11 is against the legal and the illegal sale j5 oi whiskey, and I have their encour-;' igement and support in keeping down ( " ? 1 a ? ?

In this connection, and as a sug-1 i^stion, I wish to say that hereafter,! when you report to me any alleged ! violation of law in this- county which ' may be called to your attention. I think j it will be well to keep the matter out 1 ;>f the newsDaDers until I have had time to make an investigation and * gather evidence. Within a few hours I after vour wire of the 13th instant was ! * i j handed me the fact that you had wired ! rne was read here in a Columbia news- i , * paper. If there were any violations of' the liquor law going on the chances ^ that it was known to thp violators that I was making an effort to catch :hem, and they accordingly were more careful to hide their work, and were j put on guard. It is not my. purpose to } advise you as to your duties. I am simply advising you how to help me in j carrying on mine. It is my experience is an officer of the law'that you can lot catch "blind tigers" by advertising ihe fact in the newspapers that you j1 ire on their trail. It is best to attend j ^ ;o these maeters quietly and without j ^ parade. j ^ I shall be glad to hear from you at^ my time as to any matter in this county. to which you think my atten:ion should be called.

Several of the patrons and the trustees were at the opening on Wednes day. Mr. J. R. Irwin conducted me opening exercises and made a brief address welcoming tthe visitors. Short talks were then made by Mr. John C. N'eel, Prof. S. J. Derrick and tMr. C. P. Barre. Chappells has one of the handsomest country school buildings in the State. This is a fine community and the good people of the community take a great interest in education. There is no better section of South Carolina ' than this chappells section of Newberry county, and there are no more intelligent and hospitable people anywhere than are these people who live in the Chappells neighborhood. i Mathematicians come under the caption of figureheads. , It isn't what a man owes, but what] he pays, that jolts him. j 1 PROHIBITION WINS BY LARliE MAJORITY PROHIBITION HAS MAJORITY OF ABOUT 20,000. Charleston and Dorchester Counties Voted Against Statewide; Others For It. "ni- - -L ^ jl lie oiait?. . i Later returns from the election held Tuesday did not materially change the result as indicated by the earlier figires, which showed a majority of about 20,000 for Statewide prohibition as apposed to county option. The last figures give a total of 35,117 for prohibition and 15,069 against it. a majority of 20,358. Only two counties appear to have gone against Statewide prohibition? Charleston, which gave a tremendous percentage in favor of the retention cf the present system, and Dorchester, which finally has given a small majority against Statewide prohibition. All the other-dispensary counties . oted for Statewide prohibition, several by sweeping majorities, and all the dry counties went in favor of a Statewide law, the only ones in which the contest was in any way close being Horry, where prohibition has a slight majority, and Berkeley, where the fot^ appears too slight to count for nuch. In all, the vote probably will total )etween 55,000 and 60,000 or less than lalf the vote in the Democratic sensorial primary last year. This, however, is considerably in excess of the lormal vote at general elections.

Every Cent of Sum Obtained fco Be Spent in the United States t., Din it is x iaiu New York, Sept. 13.?The present plan of the joint Anglo-French financial commission, it was reported tonight, is to borrow $1,000,000,000 in the United States on straight British and French government bonds without any collateral. 11 Liiis Vd,5t SU111 LllULlVy is j tained, it was said, it is to be spent, | to the last cent, in the United States j for wheat, cotton, meat and other comj modities, including munitions of war. i It will, therefore, in the opinion of financial authorities, be classified as a * : commercial loan. I Whether the neutrality of the | United States would be questioned in case the bankers financing the loan should accept straight British and French government notes as security / has been, given serious consideration. It was said financiers familiar with the plan had every reason to believe Washington would not interfere. Not Confirmed. That was the unanimous opinion tonight of many of the scores of prominent bankers from New York and the chief cities of the country who have visited the commission during its stay in this city. As to its correctness the members of the commission declined to comment. \ il AAmmieciAn no r a/1 I a miKl i<cr xxii cue- v^v/uiuiiooivu vai cu ivs ^uuuou as authoritative was voiced by Lord Reading, the chairman, who said: "We are not in a position to make a statement at the present because we are studying conditions in New York and elsewhere in relation to American exchange on London and Paris. We have received a considerable number* of persons, prominent bankers and aether gentlemen interested in the sta! uiiitv of exchange. "The one thing that is very striking about i<- is that everybody is agreed on the great importance to be attributed 1 to regulating the exchange so as to 1 provide more stable conditions. Of Grave Danger. "The sudden and considerable drop in the exchange naturally disturbs and must disturb commercial relations between tho /rmntrifvo thA TTnitoH StatA* and Great Britain and France?inasmuch as it makes it so difficult to see ahead what the rate of exchange will be; and, moreover, because naturally it makes such a material difference in the price to be received by the American and the prices to be paid by th? Englishman and Frenchman. mere is a consensus or opinion that it is eminently desirable that some step be made by which stability of this exchange can be secured. You have here in the States very large surpluses of foodstuffs and other material which you want to export. We, on the other hand, want to import these goods, and to the commercial man nothing is more difficult than to arrange fixed nrines when there is the instabilitv such as we have had recently in exchange. I "We can not say more than that at the present, but that generally reflects our views on the situation." Mimnaugh's Millinery Opening.
