and interest throughout the halls and
campus. The many improvements
around the college seem to be an incentive
to work among the students.
The number of new students at the
opening was strikingly large. The
total number was seventy against
fortv-one last session.
Or eepecial significience to Lexington
county is the fact that she has a
representation in the walls of Newberry
College of fifteen or twenty
bright young men. Newberry is
proud of them, and it means much
to Lexington cnunfcy.
On October 31st, Luther Day, the
magnificient Dew building known as
Holland Hall, will be dedicated. The
students and professors are taking
much interest in the preparation for
that day. Dr. R C. Holland of
Charlotte, will make an address, also
Dr3. Cromer and Scherer will speak.
This building, modern in every particular,
costing more* than twenty
thousand dollars is a credit to the
College towD, and the Lutheran
Churcfr.

cotton. The pea crop is below the
average and the hay crop is the
poorest for years.

initiation next week, but owing to
the scarcity of labor the commencement

Danger of a Cough.
Pneumonia, grippe, cold, bronchitis and
nearly every other dangerous sickness of
this kind is usually the development of
a slight cough. Too many people are
laid up and too many die from diseases
where they could so easily knock that
first cough in the head. Murray's Horehound,
Mullein and. Tar cures colds. It
just drops the bottom out of a cough.
Every druggist has it for 2oc. a bottle.

Death of Mr. Stokes.
We are saddened to learn of the
untimely death of Mr. J. B. Stokes,
one of the most prominent merchants
and influential citizens of Batesburg.
It is not koown at what hour the
messenger of death summoned him j
to the grave, but it was apparently
a death without a struggle as his
body was found Sunday morning in
peaceful repose by his wife. He whs
! m good health aud spirits all day
' Saturday, but in the afternoon of
i that day he worked hard in assisting
| in putting out the fire at the Kerna;
