C COLLEGE REMINISCENCES. Lecture Before Newberry College By John Belton O'Neall Holloway Much Enjoyed. J. B. O'Neall Holloway, an alumnus Df Newberry college of the class of 75, made an addressbef ore the students n Holland Hall auditorium on Thurs ay of last week. His subject was 'College Reminiscences" and being >ne of the older alumni his address as interesting. He vividly contrast :d the meagre appointments, an entire .ack of anything like reasorable com orts in the old college 'building at Walhalla and the splendid, up-to-date mid beautiful buildings that now adorn :he college campus in Newberry. His :haracterizations of many of his fel ow students and especially his class nates ever full of good humor were ieartily enjoyed by the student body. Fhe speaker paid a splendid tribute to Dr. Smeltzer who was president oi :he college during his attendance-to :he ndble sacrifices, ;heroic devotion mid loyalty to ,the college. He feel -g!Y declared that every act of Dr. ;meltzcr, every fibre -of his being, ev ry pulsa:ion of his heart, every turn : 1his hand, was for the good of New )erry. He held -the interests of New )erry college dear to 'his heart and nade sacrifices for the college that iow seem almost incredible to corn )rehend. He likewise paid a feeling ribute :o Prof. D. Arrington. Mr. H,lloway interspersed his re aarks with apt illustrations from the ives of former students showing what ccess they had made. "Is success vcrth the aim," asked the speaker, nd answered the question by declar ng that success is desired, s'ould be lesired, but success is a low stand rd-it leaves out the moral element >f character-it takes no account of he methods by which success is at ained, and cites the example of Dives nd Lazarus. The former estimated v the world's standard was a grand uccess; the latter a stupendous fail re. Bu-t is it really so? Measured y the world's standard some of he .otblest men, whose lives have enrich d 'humanity and blessed the world re are failures. Measured by the ame standard some ignoble men, who ived w'holly selfish lives have attain d the highest success. There is omething t worthier than success-it faithfulness to duty in every posi ion in life, high or low, wvhere a kind 'rovidence -has placed one to serve. here is something better than sue ess, or fame or pomp an'd vanities oi h.is world-a noble life consecrated o roble ends and spent in humble ervice. Man-making declared the speaker s the most tremendous work -ohat an engage the efforts of anyone. The address was enjoyed as cvi enced by the many acts of approval rom the student body.

It was very good for the children. They are the grandchildren of a Con federate soldier. The folowing is what the Mail had to say of this family of cotton pickers: Mr. P. V. Tims of Garvin town ship is a Confederate veteran. He is 62 years 61d and is enjoying the -best of 'health. He has 33 grandchildren an seven great-grandchildren. The o,her day, jus.t to show what he could do, he went out into the cotton field and picked 263 pounds o.f cotton between sunrise and sunset, and even th,en did not hurt ;himself. His grandson, J. B. Tims, aged four and a half years, picked 49.pounds of cotton in one half a day. Another grandchild. Leila Tims, aged 13, pick ed 267 pounds of cotton in a day, and s'till ano:her grandchild, Geneva Tims, aged ii. pioked 232 pounds in a day. This is the story told by Mr. 'Tims' son, J. P. Tims, who is the father of the children w1ho made such a good record. He says 'he can furnish abundant corro'borative evidence, if any is needed. The ~best cotton picking that we have everh4'eard of was done last week on Mr. P. N. Boozer's place in No. 7 township. Bessie Sanders, a colored .woman, started after <the sun 'had been up about a haLf hour and quit before it set about a hal-f hour and during tha.t time she gathered 303 pounds. Her sister, Mary 'Sanders, picked during the same time 480 pounds. It was fine cotton having open at th'e time a:bout i,ooo pounds 'to the acre. This' is good cotton picking. At The Theatre. The Donnelly and Harfield min strels will hold (he 'boards at t'he opera house on Saturday night. The' Norfolk (Va.) 'Times speaks of the performance in tthat city thus: The performance 'given last night left nothing to be desired. The sing ers were all good, the comedians clever, and ,the jokes and monologues all new and up-to-date. Among the specially good musical numbers was iMr. Johnson's solo, "When the Fields are Wlhiite With Daisies," and Mr. Stanley's song "Bunker Hill." "TIhe Military Coons," by Brown and IIvers wvas a decidedly good number and -they were forced to respond to numerous enchores and the quar'tet.te composed of Messrs. Johnson, Stanley, Losee and Decker who sang "Wh en 'the Winds O'er the Sea Blows a Gale." was one of the rettiest nunmbers on the program. .In the olio There were a number of decided novelties, 'foremost among them being the Tuscano Brothers in their remai1kable roman battle ax jug gling act and the Toledo troupe of acrobats and contortionists in their "Jungle Phantasitic." It would be 'to leave out one of the most enjoyable features of the whole performance were Tommy Donnelly and Harry Skunk's comedy skit in which they introduce a num(ber of de cidedly clever parodies and one of .the cleverest double monologues that 'has been heard here for a long time, omit ted. It was with the greatest enthu siasm 'that this popular couple was greeted by the audience who did not fail to bestow upon them a kindly recognition. for their very clever 'work and the pleasant memories they re caled. MR. WALLACE TO MR. JONES. Takes an Entirely Opposite View of the Situation-He Says it was an "Anti-Dispensary Confer ece," not a Prohibiticn Conference. To the Editor of the News and Cou rier: Mr. A. C. Jones, in an article in your paper -roday, referring to my be ing present at a recent conference in Columbia, says: "Mr. Wallace was there to continue his fight against me. In justice to myself and my friends, especially throughout the state, it is due them that I should say 'that up to a few years ago Mr. Wallace professed to be a good friend of mine, and I re garded him as suclh, until I was warn ed by another friend that I was mis taken. I could not 'believe it true until I traced his treachery to his door and told him to his face of it, and he sat without opening his mouth, and let me ad-d 'that from this day on I want our paths to be as far apart as the east is from the west.' 'I wish to say, in the first place, that my presence at -that conference was without the slightest reference to Mr. Jones, as a candidate for governor or otherwise, and that I -have never had any fight against him of any sort whatever. fore than that. he~ has never told me to my face of any treachery. He told me six years ago that he wished our paths thereafter to be as far apart as the east from the wvest: and I have scrupulously observ ed his .wish in that regard. As to the rest of Mr. Jones' le*ter I need say nothing, except that -he is ' very wide of the mark in the object. and purposes of 'the conference. I presume all attended it as I did, to onsult about the anti-dispensary Rght, under the following call: "Several gentlemen interested in the fight against the dispensary are to c meet here next Monday night, Octo ber 2. to have a free and candid dis cussion of thes ituation. This is deem ed well, because the time is approach ing when it :s possible for our crowd to make mistakes in tactics. It is de sired that you be here at that confer ince." 'Then follow the names of four gen- c blemen, who, with "a few others," -were 4 expected. It -was not a conference to t nominate a state ticket or a United States senator, and was not limited to prohibitionists. For my part I have never 'belonged to any prohibition or~ ganization--though I 'have alwaysa voted against the 'sale of liquor when ever the question has been presented n any form. This was an anti-dispen sary conference-not called by Mr. Brunson's friends,.or his enemies eith er; 'he -had- no more to do 'with the 4 :all or with the conference t'han Mr. Jones had. . W. H.
