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

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

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.

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

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.

UOi. W. n. nuiiL, presiucui ui m- ;

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

W. H. Shaw, the physical director,

HEARS OF VIOLATION 1
OF LIQUOR LAWS
Vt IKES SHERIFF BLEASE AND
PUBLISHES TELEGRAM.
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~ - ?? C?+V.X1

governor and if he kn^w of any viola-'
tion, and what he had done in the mat-;i
ter, and he gave us a copy of the let-'
ter "v. nich he wrote the governor, which <
we publish in this connection.
In the matter of the illicit sale of ;
whiskey we are sure, so far as this i
county is concerned, Sheriff Blease and 1
his deputies and the other officers of <
the law have been very diligent, and <*
we do not believe there is an appreci- t
able violation of the law in the county.;
In fact, it would be very difficult for I
even an old stager to buy any whiskey
in Newberry, town or countv.

On the afternoon of the 13th instant

Upon the receipt of your message, I ]

Up to this time, I have not received j 1
any reply to my wire to you.
However, I did not wau to get from '
you the information you had, and on '
which you based your wire to me, be- 1

as your message was received, I dispatched
two officers, Messrs. Taylor

the line of Union county, and ordered

I a'so sought from every possible ^
source any information regarding the ,
transporting of whiskey from Union .
bounty to this county. .
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\:

"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 (

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 ! *

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.

taught by Miss Lizzie Xeel, assisted by *

i
been a very successful teacher in the
county for the past two or three years "
and she will do good work at Chap- '
pells.
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.

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.

SEEKS 10 BORROW
BILLION DOLLARS
THE ANGLO-FRENCH COMMISSION
WANTS BIG LOAN.
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

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."
