Gen. H. H. Newton died 111 Charlotte this morning. General > Newton had been sick tor several "I" j, months and about six weeks ago en4 tered a Charlotte Sanitarium for . P treatment. It was known that he was in bad health, hut his death ' came as a surprise. General Newton was horn February 16, 1848. His father was 1 Cornelius Newton. and lis mother Dorcas Purnell Newton. His boy- ' hood was spent in this county and s before he was ready for college the war came on. He entered the Confederate army, K Company E, Fourth regiment, South J Carolina cavalry. He served until 11 1864, when he was badly wounded ' at Haw's Shops, Va. Carried from x Wo hold am a atrAtnhpr hp was 1 brought to his home in Marlboro, and recovered too late to join his command. The losses of the war made it impossible for his father to send him to college, but young Newton, surmounting many difficulties entered Wofford College, from which he was graduated in 1869 with the degree of A. 13.. receiving A. M. degree two years later. He taught school for a while after leaving college and was admitted to the bar in 1870. He began the practice of law in Bennettsville in the office of Judge J. II. Hudson. K.?r ten years he devot >d himself solely to the law. In 1880 the Democrats called upon him and J. R. Parker to stand for election to the house of representatives. He was elected and served one year. He was a member of the judiciary committee and he was responsible for the first stock fence law in South Carolina. He advocated railroad commissioners with plenary Dower, and his name is inseparably I associated with these two pieces ot f legislation. Ho was appointed solicitor of the ^ fourth judicial circuit in 1883 and t served six years, and in that office he t was a fearless, able and impartial a prosecutor. Mr. New ton during his , career has bad large business experience. He built the first, cottoa oil ( mill in this county and managed it , for some time. He was vice presi- , dent of the Union Savings Hank aim , Planters' National Hank and was \ president of the Union Savings Hank ] for several years, retiring in 100 i. j He was a member of the straightout i Democratic convention of August 1 15. 1876.

The price which cotton is now ringing has made hard times a reollection of the past. The South >oks forward hopefully to the full re. But the people of the South hould not deceive themselves. The real conditions in the South ave not changed. The war is still! ;oing on, and may go on for another1 ear or two. Vast amounts of mu-j litions of war have been purchased I n this country, which accounts for' l-- onniilv of mnnev in the! nr ^icuiuut ? ^ . nouey markets. The panic caused. ?y the outbreak of the war, which i vas everywhere prevalent last fall, j s not with us now. and this, to some! xtent. helps. Hut the real good feeling in the! >outh cannot be accounted for on hese grounds. We have sold no | nuntions of war, and the purchase irice of these things has brought no irosperity to the South. Our prosperity is brought about by be high price of cotton and must be iccounted for on other grounds. And he real ground is the diversification ?f crops The people of the South n the early part of the year ahan-l loned the one crop idea to a very 'onsiderahb extent, and planted loon it uffs, and commenced to raise meat inil bread at home. The result is| hat the cotton crop is short, and the n ice is good. If we bail a crop as arge as that cf last year, we woulo >e receiving little more for it than ve did last year. The great appat-j ?nt surplus wouiu so wei*" uuwh iu?narket that prospective purohasers| ould afTord to wait, and take their hances for a lower market. As it j a. people who must have cotton, real! ze that if they get it at all. it must >e gotton at once. And the result is! hat all cotton offered is in demand, ind the prices offered in all markets ire Rood. So let no farmer deceive himselri ir be deceived. There are no noa-j :rums for a surplus crop nothing that j will cure the situation. It is true :hat a surplus crop need not be sacrl-j deed, if the people are able to warehouse the cotton and wait. But the greater part of those people who actually raise the cotton cannot hold 01. to it indefinitely. The larger far-, mer and the wealthier merchant may do so. but when a small farmer and Li oiiu-iiorne niercnaiiL ines iu uorrow money in the spring of the year ro run a crop, still owing the bank for last year's advances, he will find a little difficulty in his way. The only real and efficient remedy is the ounce of prevention. The small farmer should raise his meat, his Hour, his corn and all food stuffs, both for himself and his stock on the farm. The balance of his land h" can plant in cotton, and look forwary with some degree of confidence to a good price for that commodity in the fall: hut when everybody goes back to nothing but cotton, there is no hope for the small farmer of the South. An object lesson has been shown to our people. I.et us hope that they will be benefitted and taught by it. Therefore, we advise the farmers of the county to sow oats and wheat during the rail, a net lo prepare to plant corn in the spring. Good Disposition an Asset It is a pity that, children are no taught the value of a good dispositm Perhaps the reason for the neglect i that so much insistence is placed ( the totalities that, taken toget!" make up disposition. Hut there something in disposition itself, i . < tltude, that ought to be made ciea If we have the wrong attitude, no ?^s ter how hard we may strive to euJt vate this good quality or that, it almost impossible for us to go throng the day harmoniously and happily. f Vvtifrlso TKo# 1 V*A V?#/knruvl ' Careful people see that they art stopped.

McDaniel of Clemson Col-' lege, S. C. I I pt All Kurope seems to be one riotdus turmoil; all its institutions, its' tr business, its very life seems to have jlt been revolutionized to meet the ex-' w igencies of the situation. a Strange it may seem, but the P' i 11 ,, , . te ei of the universities has developed anew, while all around is feverish C( excitement. This is true of the uni- rt versities of Germany and of AustriaHungary, and as far as can be learn- t( _ i< ed of the universities of France,' England and Italy also. As an example we find the University of Berlin, one of the largest and t' best known universities of Europe, p in a more or less normal condition. a comparing this last semester with ? the semester just previous to the outbreak of war. The enrollment was about three thousand short, but asi there were still ten thousand students this loss was not apparent to j a new foreign student. As to the spirit and life of this last I semester the University of Berlin was pretty much the same as formerly. The students came to lectures discusitig their problems in studies. War news was scarcely heard on the campus, except in the public reading hall, where may be found newspapers and periodicals from all over the woria. t'uriousiy tnere seemea to ue , a suppression of the war news on the university grounds. Students preferred to tell of some drama that was being Riven at a theatre in the city, or of some fraternity meeting where i there had been much fun and merriment. Between lectures there might ' be seen students eating sandwiches. , drinking coffee, cracking jokes and engaging in the general fun that has always characterized German uni- j ersity life. Knjoyment. rejoicing, and happiness dominate campus life I as much now as before the war. The professors themselves look very i , happy, and come as usual to the Ice- j tare hall fifteen minutes after the I hour. Some professors now and then ' take ten minutes or more reading |" letters from former students of their university who are now in the field. J These letters are usually anything J _ but sad; they are full of humor and fcause a great deal of laughter from the audience. Occasionally a short to crivan of former students who have fallen. After the reading of this all rise together and make a solemn bow of respect, or the professor says. "Another has died for his Fatherland." The seminary work is carried on in the same minute and j scholarly manner as ever; Individual ; questions are asked and answered, which indicate the most careful and j laborious research work. The monthly meeting of the scin- j inar students with their professors, in some cafe is as usual. At this | meeting there is music, singing of university songs, speeches and jokes. ' Often in summer the professor meets the seminar students in some suburb of Berlin, as Greenewald or Pots-1 dam. where the students may have an ejoyable gathering by a lake or in a beautiful forest. These meetings usually consume half a day. of which every minute possesses the most interna* interest. Formality is thrown to 'he winds and all become , acquainted in a jolly, happy-go-lucky way. W:ien the gaherlng is held near a lak2 a dozen or more row boats are engaged for the afternoon. Thus the university has become almost devoid of poli'ical news. In | the evening, h twevr, there is always a public lecture on the war by some well-known professor. This lecture |" is always well attended. At their conclusion tin professor is given enthusiastic applause. The most noticeable feature of these lectures is tin* expression of joy manifested on the, face of every one in attendance. All seem to have utter confidence in the future of their country, and one. often hoars the remark, "Wir hnbon Erfolge gegen dor Welt in dieaem | Kriog weil wir dafur dieses morales' ston Iteeht haben." We have success against the world in this war because , we are lighting for a moral right.) 'J Such is Berlin University as I ! have experienced life there in the i last twelve months. I have also attended for short periods many other German universities within the paat - year and have found there the same1 spirit as at Merlin, though on a small* er scale.

J YALE MAN'S LIFE SAVED iN^/i^rrr BIG WAR BY t"1 ftr * Karl Llewellyn, the young Yale* graduate, who volunteered in the 78th Prussian Infantry at the beginning of the war, owes his life to a comrade who was killed. Llewellyn was wounded at the liattle of Ypres and was left lying between the hostile lines for twelve hours. When night came he started to crawl back to the German lines, only to fall unconscious. When he recovered consciousness he saw a dead comrade lying beside him. On his belt was a flask of Coffee. Llewellyn managed to unfasten the flask, and was sufficiently stimulated by the Coffee it contained to reach the trenches. Yet you will find people in this peaceful country today who substitute all brands of stump water for a cup of good coffee.
