To the Editor of the Dispatch: Last Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock when the former students of Newberry college were greeting one another with pleasant smiles and loud voices, "Hello, there," and when the trees on the campus and college buildings themselves seemed to rejoice at the return of her "old boys," the old college bell called the students to meet in the auditorium. If there is a happy day in the student's life it is the day when after a summer's vacation they are blessed with the privilege to meet one another again on the college grounds. After the devotional exercises in the chapel, Prof. S. J. Derrick gave the address of welcome to the former students and to the "Rats" in partic> ular. The address was very humorous and witty, but still it was full of meaning and pathos. It was very interesting throughout and all gave their undivided attention to the speaker. After this and the remarks from the various professors the new students were classified according to their several abili? ties. The former students who returned from Lexington county were as follows: Arthur W. Ballentine, Willie ' "HfBHUX MB AT TArg'S." f- t We have a new and beaut: and accessories that could be i The prices Throughout the Mi Every department in our 1 patterns than ever brought he ' pains this season in buying ou ORDER BY MAIL.?We prepay m I Tltel ? |?lfc'' . * ' y' Ev Long, Hollie L.

Epting, A. E. Lown, J. H. Riser, Edgar Rawl, S. D. McCartha, J. M. Meetze, J. T. Meetze, E. F. K. Roof, J. T. Crenshaw, I. V. Matthews and perhaps others whom I did not have a chance to meet. We are proud of - - - ? tk i such a handsome numoer 01 new Doys from our mother county and we hope by next year the numbers will be very much increased. The formal opening of Newberry college was held on Friday morning. Rev. W. H. Greever gave the address of welcome from the church at large. He took as his subject for discussion, "Some Ideal Aims of True Education." In this discussion he set forth the importance of a person introducing himself to himself, or in other words the importance of a person studying himself in ofder to learn what he is fit for in life. iThen after he has found his worth nrepare himself for that particular jpere in life. Equip himself for his Jailing. Rev. W. L. Seabrook, pastor $f the college church, church of the Redeemer, extended greeting to the students of the college. As the college is a non-sectarian school, the pastors of other denominations of the town also extended a welcome to the student. 1 On Friday night the reception to j % the new students was given under the auspices of the Young Men's Christian' Association. Several addresses were made and auite a number of college songs were sung by the former stu dents of the college. Best wishes to Dispatch and its many readers, I am, Sept 29. A Senior Student. V i ?

He is in the home of Mr. Lewie Hallman, where he is most tenderly cared for. The death of Mr. Hazeal Shealy was very unexpected. It is said that Mr. Shealy did a hard day's work Saturday, ate a hearty supper and retired in his usual good health, but awoke the family about midnight telling them that he was not feeling well and to go for the doctor. His son, Mr. Pierce, went at once for the doctor and before he returned, though not more than a mile, death had done its work.

I T am O DfV M .L/tJiiiigL'Uii, ocjju. v^uijgxcaotxiaii Lever has returned to his home from I an extensive trip with Congressman Burton, chairman of the rivers and i harbors committee of the house, who ; for the past week has been making ! an inspection of the .Congaree, Santee and Wateree rivers and also the har1 bor improvements about Georgetown. Congressman Burton comes into the State upon the urgent request of Congressman Lever, who last spring impressed upon him the great importance of river improvement in this district and the State at large. Mr. Lever looks tired and worn out, but he is enthusiastic over the prospect of having adequate appropriations for all needed improvements carried in the river and harbor bill to be passed at the next session of congress. Speaking of the matter, he said: "I feel that we have done a fine work in having Mr. Burton take the trip. He expressed himself as much pleased with our possibilities in the way of river navigation, and of Columbia as a commercial center he seemed deeply impressed. I am confident that we sent him away thoroughly convinced of the feasibility of the effort to make the Congaree navigable to the Senate street landing, v and he knows now that Georgetown has in her splendid harbor the making of a fine port, particularly when the rivers running into that harbor receive j the hearty sympathy and aid they ! deserve from the federal government. I fear our people do not fully realize what water transportation will mean, not alone to Columbia, but to the entire State. Columbia is the natural hub of the State, when it comes to i railroad facilities, and when we give ! her the means of controlling freight rates by water competition, we have I made her a distributing point for the ! greater part of the freight, at lower rates, for the entire central and up State. And I see no reason why we ! should not succeed in developing this natural transportation route. We are in every respect as favorably situated as Augusta, and when we decide to take our candle from under the bushel, we may expect some consideration from those who can then see the light. I have no idea what amount we are going to be able to get for this work. It may be much and it may be little, but of one thing I am certain and that is tnat we are going to make the effort of our lives to get a sufficient amount to give us free navigation in the Congaree at all seasons of the year and I am sanguine of success." The people of Lexington not only appreciate the work of their congressman, but at the ^ame time feel a personal and county pride in it.?State, ' September 30. BatesTmrg.

The Dispatch is printed one day late this week, because the sorest affliction of his life has befallen its Editor. After an illness of nine days, in which she suffered the most intense misery, and yet bore it with the fortitude of a Snnrtan mother and- Chris tian soldier. Mrs. G. M. Harman, the devoted wife, life long companion and chief consolation in trouble, the partner of his joys, the participant in his sorrows, passed from earth to eternity. The sweetest rose from the garden of his heart was plucked by the Unseen Hand, and there is sorrow unspeakable in his heart. Mrs. Pauline Lavinia Harman was the youngest daughter and child of the late Judge Lemuel Boozer, and was born August 21st, 1845, and breathed her last October 3d, 1906, at 12.25 o'clock, a. m., making her earthly sojourn sixty-one years, one month and twelve days. Her illness began last Monday, one week ago, when she was suddenly and violently seized with a case of acute indigestion, and though it was thought at first that she would rally from the attack under the skillful attention of Drs. J. J. Wing ard and her nephew, A. E. Boozer, and through the patient and intelligent nursing of Miss Anna G. Herriot, of Columbia. Inflammation of the brain set up, and the forces of disease proved too much for her physical strength, though she made as brave and uncomplaining fight as was ever made by a soldier on the field of battle. On the 21st of November, 1866, she was married to G. M. Harman, and for forty years proved herself a devoted and loving wife, a tender and considerate mother, a firm and true friend, "an ever present help in time of need." She is survived by three daughters: Misses Vinnie, Florrie and Iceoline Harman, and three sons, A. Michael, Rice B. and Singleton H.; a brother, A. M. Boozer, Esq., Columbia, and two sisters, Mrs. S. C. A. Scott, Columbia, and Mrs. L. H. Russell, Abbeville, S. C. She was a consistent member of St. Stephen's Lutheran church. - Her funeral services were conducted at the home of G. M. Harman by Rev. J. G. Graichen, her pastor, assisted by Rev. W. D. Quick. The pall bearers were as follows: Geqrge S. Drafts, John J. Fox, W. P. Roof, Sam'l. B. George,W. W. Barre, P. H. Corley, Thos. P. Meetze, H. L. Oswald. Her chief characteristics were the unostentatious manner of her living, her devotion to her home duties and her ardent love for her family, in wnose Dosom sne uvea almost exclusively. A severe illness in her early married life and the loss of three children made her rather melancholy in her disposition, and averse to the ordinary pleasures of the intelligent woman. Peace to her soul; a fond farewell! To those who have been so kind in this hour of my greatest grief, I wish to return my sincere appreciation. While my affliction is great, while my loss cannot be measured in words, the memory of her devotion, her Christian courage and charity, herunshaken fortitude and determination in the face of the direst adversity, will nerve me to continue the hard battle of life, and more thoroughly consecrate me to the work of teaching the truth as God has given it to me to see the truth.
