The Dispensary Is Doomed In New berry County-Getting Ready to Vote it Out. e To the Editor of The Herald and 1 News: In your issue of Tuesday, i the 13th inst., appeared a -)nmuni e cation from Senator Cole L. Blease e to the voters of Newberry county, . telling the people how the dispensary o law originated, giving figures as to e school money derived from the dis s pensary, wanting to know what means e this combination among the prohi t bitionists, the blind-tiger element, d the moonshiners and those who favor 1 open bar-rooms, and calling the at _ tention of the people of the county a to the meeting on Saturday last, ask n ing if it did not look like similiar e meetings that have been held, and d asking if it was a political meeting y helping some one to secure an office e in disguise. y I attended the meeting held in the court house on Saturday last. I Lt den;y emphatically that any one, so far as my knowledge goes. was trying to help himself or any.one else into office. In fact, of the great gather r: ing in the court house on Saturday Iast, there were present less than half a dozen that have ever held an office in the county. It was com posed of ministers and citizens from different sections of the county, get ie ting ready to vote out the demon n dispensary. So far as the origin of the dispen sary is concerned, it does not con cern the people. It has been on trial for ten or twelve years, and it is called on tto give an account of itself. I am no leader of the anti-dispensary movement. In fact I don't believe it has any leaders. It is an uprising of the people to throw off this evil, t .that has brought so much desolation e to the homes of the county, and 1s ruined so many of our citizens. Mr. - Blease seems to want a joint dis ie cussion on the subject. How would d Mr. Blease, or any one else, give - any information on the dispensary, ,e when it has been the by-word in e every home for ten or twelve years, during which time the people have been watching and observing for themselves? At almost every session of the legislature, since the dispen s, sary law 'has become a law, it has been amended and appealed, added to and taken away from, committees appointed to investigate. Every time y it has been touched in any way the . worse it. has become, until the people - have become disgusted, and today y they are rising up all over the coun d ty as one man, and are -just on the eve e of saying, "Enough of a thing is y enough." Surely the senator of New - berry county, where nine-tenths of r t'he people are church members, and r. where we have a magnificent college o located at. our county seat, sending - out her graduates over the state every year, and wh.:e there are so many f tears shed by the good women of the s county on account of liquor, is not going to attempt to lead the move ment to hold the dispensary in the county, on the plea of 1o wrering taxes, when it is well known tlit every dol it lar spent for liquor is gone never , to return. Cole, let's have no escus sion over this matter, there is nothing y to discuss. You might as well come , and vote with the people. They do . not need an interpreter, and they are a just as sure to get rid of this demon, as if they had already accomplished -it. Respectfully, J. C. Neel. Death of Mrs. S. S. Rahn. The papers announced a few days f. ago the death of Mrs. S. S. Rahn, the wife of Rev. Dr. S. S. Rahn, now l. of Jacksonville, Fla. Prof. and Mrs. Rahn once lived in Newberry where they had many friends. Mrs. Rahn was Miss Sallie Parker, of Columbia. y- Her remains were brought to Colum bia and buried in Elmwood. Not the Man. Sheriff Buifordl has received a letter from Sheriff A. B. Suttle in which it ia stated that the negro arrested near Little Moun'ta'n as the probable Jim Lowery is not the man wanted at Shelby for the murder of the chief of epolice. This man gives his name as :e Ii enry Clary. He was discharged frcam custody yesterday. CLASS OF TWENTY-SIX RECEIYED DIPLOIM (Continued from first page.) at Newberry college has been spen in association with a senior clas whose members without exception are young ladies and young gentle men. I beg you to believe that thi is no empty compliment, no mer commencement flattery. It is n+ light thing to me to stand here t< bid you goodbye and wish you God speed as you go out in the world t fight life's battles and to face life' opportunities: And now what shall say to you? I bring you no messag except the one you have alread; adopted as your class motto; sempe fideliter; always faithful; that shout 'be your life text. First, be faithful to yourselves Remember what the "Myriad-minded said-that master of men and mind -"To thine own self be true; and i must follow as night the day, thoi canst not then be false to any man. The best way to be faithful to your selves is by having faith in youy selves; be hopeful and brave and sell confident. I do not mean that c yourselves you can do anything; bu remember that you are the daughter and sons of God, and that He i called "the God of all hope." Re member the eloquent words yo heard just now, spoken by our be loved friend, when he pointed you t those twin ancient sisters, Faith an Hope, who, as St. Paul said, are as c such as abide forever. Remembe that glorious motto of St. Paul' and be content with nothing less tha this high reach toward heaven: can do all things through Christ wh strengtheneth me." Be faithful to your fellows; an remember that you can be faithful t them, only so far as you 'have fait in them. Of course you can find, you look for it, the base and ignobl in mankind. You may become, you let yourselves do so, poor, sou unhelpful pessimists and cynics. Bt then you may also find, if you loo for it, the good and the true and the beautiful in your fellows; yo may even find gems in the mire. bid you to believe that in every mai there dwells the "divine spark," that in every man there is the imag of God, al'beit defaced. Believei men, and through 'belief in them yo can help them. "Honor all men saith the scripture; onmy throug faith can you be faithful. Lastly, believe in God and h: righteousness. You will be tempte4 I know, to think sometimes tht truth's "forever on the scaffol' wrong forever on the throne," hi remember I pray you, those othe words of this same great-soule poet, when he assures us that "be hind the dim unknown standeth Go within the shadow, keeping watc above his own." You go out from Christian college.. In this day< numerous rich institutions supporte by the state, Newberry college he no reason for existence save only a it stands for faith-for that fait once delivered to the saints an which alone is able to purify an bless mankind. So then, this is mi message, as it is also the message< your own choosing, Semper fidelite always faithful. The commencement closed with reception at the college to the gra< uating class.
