Laval Newberry Coach
William (Billy) Laval was named
head coach of Newberry College yes
terday at a meeting of the executive
committee of the board of trustees to
succeed B. D. (“Dutch”) McLean, who
resigned recently to accept a post at
Porter Military Academy in Charles
ton. He has accepted the position
and will assume his duties here next
September.
Laval is well known in South Caro
lina. Last season he was head coach
of Emory and Henry college in Vir
ginia.
It was under Laval that Furman
rose to prominence in South Carolina
athletic circles. At Furman he turned
out more state championship football
teams than has been produced by an
other coach at any other Palmetto
state college.
He came to South Carolina in 1928
and developed several good teams. He
left Carolina after the 1934 football
season and confined his activities to
base ball scouting until 1936, when he
went to Emory and Henry. He resign
ed his coaching job at this college to
come to Newberry.
During the summer months Laval
will retain his scouting connection
With the Boston American league base
ball club, but this affiliation will not
interfere with his year-round activi
ties of Newberry college athletics.

Methodists Seek To
Revive In Great Meet
A series of 26 great Aldersgate
Commemoration Rallies in observance
of the bi-centennial of the spiritual
awakening of John Wesley are being
held in the Carolinas, mobilizing
Methodists for a renewal of the warm
heart. Great Youth Rallies will be
held each evening. Thousands will
he present.
Two hundred years ago, in a little
society meeting in Aldersgate street,
London, John V/esley, long in search
of satisfying religious faith, exper
ienced a spiritual awakening about
which he wrote: “I felt my heart
strangely warmed. I felt that I did
trust in Christ, Christ alone for sal
vation; and an assurance was given
me, that he had taken away my sins.”
In 1938 world-wide Methodism will
commemorate the bi-centennial of that
event. In the Methodist Epi«copal
church, South, under the leadership
of the Bishops, especially directed by
Bishop A. Frank Smith, the Alders
gate Commemoration will take form
of the most powerful spiritual for
ward movement ever known in the
ehurch. The commemoration has no
financial objective. No money will be
raised. Every interest of the church
is to be undergirded with new spirit
ual power. Every Methodist interest-
ed_ in vitnl religion, evangelism, and
spiritual life is expected to cooperate.
Beginning next Tuesday, March 8,
promptly at 9:30 A. M., in the Meth
odist church at Saluda, such a meeting
will be held for the Greenwood dis
trict. The program follows:
Opening devotional service—Rev.
C. L. Harris, Greenwood. Theme:

Funds Needed For
Upkeep of Rosemont
Several years ago, when the late
Col. W. H. Hunt was president of tne
Board ox Directors ox Rosemont ceme
tery, he recommended that additional
land tnen available be purchsed. Tnis
was done, and last summer it became
necessary to develop these four acres,
since all space in tne cemetery proper
had been sold.
This development has proved far
more costly than was anticipated due
to the very large quantities of granite
underlying the property that had to
be removed; consequently, the Board
rinds itself entirely without funds for
upkeep.
ihe members feel that there is
hardly a person in the city as well as
in the county who js not very person
ally interested in the cemetery. To
each of these and to other interested
persons who, live away from New
berry, the Board is appealing for a
small annual upkeep of $5.00, but a
larger contribution would be deeply
appreciated.
Unless there is a general and gene
rous response to this request, the
cemetery will soon show the result of
the loss of the necessary number of
workers, and no lot owner would
wish to see this sacred place neglect
ed looking.
Checks should be mailed to D. L.
Nance, Treasurer.
F. R. Hunter, Chainnan of
Upkeep Committee. .
Z. F. Wright, President of
the Board.
