Roof of the Newberry team has madeC the fo llowmlg statement: W~vhen the Newberry college ball team went to Clinton on Saturday to play the Clinton team, an agreement~ was made between Manager Thos. Little, of the Clinton1 team, and nmy self that the game should be called at 5.55 to allow my team to catch the train for Newberry. which was to leave Clinton at 6.25. The game pro gressed smoothly up to the eighth inning, each team having scored one run. In the eighth inning Clintont cmmencedl dirty hall by batting Fewell ouit of order, puttting him in the place of Tribbie. WVhen the scorer informed the_ umpire of t-he fact Umpire Franks decided the ma:* ter in Clint' favr, although the rule clearly states that when a play er bat,: out oi his turn the proper .)atter is to be called )ut. no%wever. play was resumed. It was then fundl that tih time agreed upon to call the game iad passed. I tien called my team ir >m the field as per agreement. The statement from Clinton that Newberry jumped the game is fai:c. As to Newberry's tactics in the past. I desire to say that no team now has Or has ever had a better reputation for fairness and square dealing than that of Newberry college. The Clin ton team was composed of semi-pro fessionals from all over the state, Tribble. formerly of tile Columbia summer team being in the box. while my team was composed strictly of college men, eligible in the associa tioli. I feel that in spi:e of Tribble's pitching anI the above mentioned partiality and unfairness of the un pire. Newberrv would have won any %way, had we had time to, play :he game to a finish." TEACHER'S ASSOCIATION. Interesting and Instructive Meeting. Addresses by Profs. Stuckey and Daniels. The nee:ing of the county teach ers association on Saturday was a very interesting and instructive one to those engaged in the profession as well as to those interested in the ed ucation of the county and State and this should include all our people. Prof. Stuckey spoke of the necess ity and importance in our education al system of having the link between the high school and the college made so that there would be no break or broken link between the high school and college, so that, when the'pupil had finished the high school he could step right into the college. The western and northern and eastern states had already recognized the importance of this and had so ar ranged the high school. Southern states were now taking the matter up and Georgia and Texas had already taken action and he hoped South Carolina would do so sooi. Prof. D. W. Daniel of Columbia college spoke of the dignity of teach ing and That every teacher should be pr-,d of his profession and dignifv it. He -believed that next to the miini try it was the grandest calling among meii. God had filled the goodly land witi "pportiuini ties which only the edc(lated cotuld grasp) and (developq. ile believedi also in cenhure fori eni! ture's sake. The address of Prof. D ani: was well received and he madle a fine im pressionl upon the Newherry teac 11ers. Tile attendance was what it should have been. for every teacher in New berry county. should attend these meetings. Tile next m:e 2ting will be helId inl Octobher. Col. oJhnstone Wins.

Mr. Seabrook's Sermon. \\'e regret that the crowded condi t'ion or our co)lumnhs today will n1ot allow us to give even a meagre out lne of Mr. Seabrook's sermon of yes-I terday morning, on the subject "The Temperance Question and the Indi v'idual."

Mat tiew i8. 7-14. lhe begged his conlgre gation remember tihe words (of the Scripture th rough out the discouir5e and remember that they wtere the chief p)art of the sermon. His address w~as an intenisely personal one, and was listened to most attentively by tle large congregation, that w~as plainly deeply impressed by his log ical argument and the deep feeling with which lhe applied the truth to the individual. His main argument was that back of all temperance problems is tie personlal question, There wotuld be no liquor traffic if there were no drinkers; liquor is sold to be drunk. The liquor traffic is not supported by the drunkards but by the occas ional drinkers. No boy is ever made a drunkard by the example of the in temperate man. It is the example of the occasional drinker, the moderate drinker, that leads boys to contract the habit that leads so many' to drunkards graves. In the course of his remarks he took occasion to coin lemn drinking clubs as more baleful in their influence, and more insidious in their evil work than is the dispenl sar or even the old saloon system. adI urged all wvho love their fellowmenl to refuse membership in and to use all the influence of their lives against such organizations. His concluding wvorls were "I (d0 not stand here as the censor of anyv man's conduct or cns!cienice. but I de stand1 here to urge upon every mail lie questionl of his n ers vnal, indi vidual responsibil ity. 1 (10 stand here to say that if my in flunc catu. my weaker brother to fal! imto the hands of the d-vi- oI strong (rink.

We wish to call the attention of our readers to the announcement of the great bargains to be found at Summer Brothers in all sorts of dress goods. shoes and hoisery.
