No studies were sus pended, bat much time was consumed in a departure from some of the deep meditations to the more entertaining benefits of a college life? athletic and intellectual. Oa Monday afternooD, October 31, two mighty forces were arrayed against each other on the base ball diamond. The Senior and Sophomore claba being the strongest among the classes, met to decide which is the champion. Bat, as canal, the Seniors won, the score being 14 to 2 Notwithstanding the fact that the present Senior class has held the campionsbip since her Freshman days, she would have had a harder fonght game had the Sophomores not been handicapped by the absence of some men. One of th8 most auspicious events in the city of Newberry for sometime perhaps, was the dedication of Holland Hall Monday night. What made it especially interesting was that this new building, erected at such great cost and sacrifice, means so much to Newberry College; and that such distinguished men of the cbnrcb and State leot their words and presence in solemnizing the occasion. Governor Heyward, Chief Justice Pope, beside prominent ministers and laymen from North and South Carolina are types of the men who occupied the tastefully decorated rostrum.

The State. Batesburg, Nov. 7?The public in general is beginning to appreciate the ^ advantages and inducements Batesburg has to ofikr those seeking homes in a desirable community. Nearly every week new residents move in, until now it is almost impossible to secure a dwelling without building a new one.

Hartley. %?r T> T7IJ rr A Q ill. x> i^uwaiue, ??. a. iiant auu w. B Cartledge. Bafcesburg is surrounded by some as &D6 farming land as can be found in the State, and in fact some of the farms are unsurpassable either in the natural fertility of the soil or in the improvements and cultivation they have received. With favorable seasons more can be produced than can be easily gathered. One of Bateeburg's leading citizens was offered during the past week $70 per acre for bis entire plantation of | several hundred acres. This is by | no means the best land in the com- | inanity either. Mr. J.
