To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Last week was one of great activity
on the old college campus and in the
auditorium. 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 haii was seated almost to
overflowing again on Tuesday evening
to enjoy a rare literary treat in
the language and expression of Prof.

to eay that most of the patrons love
the service enough to comply with
the request while others are Btill obstinate.
The gates are a serious
hindrkDce to the good of the service
and in the winter time a great hardship
on the carrier.
To show how Rome men appreciate
the service, Uncle George Clark

convenience for $25 a year.

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. Every available house in
town is occupied and new residences
are going up continually. Among
those who have built recently or are
building are: Messrs. D. P. Hartley.

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.
