H $25000 FOR NEWBERRY COLLEGE The Information Comes By Way of Columbia-Dr. Pearson of Chi cago the Donor. It seems that the president (f New herry college has decided to ignore entirely the local press and especial ly the local representatives of the two leading daily papers of the state, the News and Courier and the State. We find in the State of yesterday the fol lowing telegram dated at Newberry, but which was not sent by the repre sentative of that paper at this place. We note also that this same item of news was sent to the News and Cou rier from Columbia, which is addi tional evidence that the president of the college deliberately intended to ignore the local representative of the News and Courier. Of course if that is his purpose, it will not offend ei ther one of the representatives of the two daily papers in question, and we assure him, will not offend The Her ald and News. We understand that he desires to be his own press agent as to baseball news also. If he thinks that it will benefit the college to run a close corporation on news at his institution, we shall not complain and we only mention this so that our friends in Newberry may know the reason in case we do not send from Newberry college, on the usual terms. first hand news in regard to the col lege and also why it is not printed in The Herald and News, but has to be copied from some other paper if used at all. Newberry, April S.-President Jas. A. B. Scherer announces that Dr. D. K. Pearson, of Chicago, offers to give $25,000 to the endowment fund of Newbery college, on the usual terms. Dr. Pearson has long been known as a particular friend of the distinctive ly Christian college. This proposition crowns his 86th birthday and signal- 1 izes the semi-centennial this year of t Newberry college. One Man Converted.

The following- is from the Athmi'a nnouicenent is made that J. Epps Brown, of Atlanta. has been elected :,eneral manager of the Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph company. the offices of vice president and gen eral manager, both of which were held by Colonel W. T. Gentry having been separated. The rapid growth and de velopment of the company made it necessary to enlarge the organization an( Colonel Gentry's recommendation that a general manager be elected was acted upon favorably last week by the board of directors and Mr. Brown was selected as general manager. The change is effective April 10 and offi cial announcement will be made by Colonel Gentry April 9. Colonel Gentry will remain in di rect charge of the affairs of the com pany with headquarters in Atlanta. but will devote his time largely to the executive duties of vice president, which have increased during the past few years. He will be the personal representative of the president in all aatters of policy. The growth of the Southern Bell Telephone and Tele xraph during the next five years is expected to be greater than during my similar period. The consequent nerease in the detail work in the )ffice of vice president and general nanager made a division of the two )ffices not only desirable. but neces ~arv. J.

He began his career in the elephone field March, 1899, when he >ecame manager of the'Southern Bell xchange at Americus, Georgia. Since; hat time he has won rapid promo ion and his career has been success ul and brilliant to a marked degree. Vhile in Americus he attracted the .ttention of Colonel Gentry, who rought Mr. Brown to Atlanta as his hief clerk.. He retained this position then Colonel Gentry was made gen ral manager. He - displayed such. bility that he was soon made special gent and with the increase of busi esp he became special to t!1e general ianager. An energetic worker and onstant student, he grasped evei-y etail of the business and developed nusual executive ability. He has een closely associated with Colonel !entry for many years and through - iis intimate relationship has the ad antage of Colonel Gentry's fund of i nowledge receiving a training that ~on him rapid advancement. When Colonel Gentry went to Eu >pe in 1904 Mr. Borwn was appoint i acting general manager and con ueted the' affairs of the company in satisfactory manner. Since thate me he has handled a large part of) ie work in the office of vice presi mnt and general manager and has een in the full confidence of the offi ~rs of the company. His election ast meral manager is a recognition of i s ability and fitness and is a deserv- t I promotion for a tireless worker. j r. Brown is regarded as one of the ming men in the telephone field. f in Remains In Atlan,ta. - It will be a matter of pleasure to a: 4rnel Gentry's friends to know that d s headquarters and residence will -d main in Atlanta.

The New Well at Power House Gives ;'ld Well Increased Efficiency of '2.800 Gallons Per Day. li t, nev Nvv.; 11 he pIwer h IE has b'eI i vompIla1)i . The W?i is:02 feet deep. I the ld well the vein was struck at a depth of 150 feet. in the new welI, the irst vein struck was at a depth of 159 feet. and this is probably the same vein as in the 4ld well. The second vein in the new well was struck at a depth of 270 feet. The capacity of the old well was 200.000 gallons in 24 hours be fore the diggin- of the new well. The ld! well was tested agzain on Friday and showed an increased effi eieney of 62.800 -allons per -day. This is <hte to the fact that the see 1nd vein strutk in the new well also supplies the old well throtuiI the vein which passes through both wells. The two wells have not yet been tested together. and therefore, it can not be stated what the additional sup ply of water will be by the digging of the new well, but even if there should be nothing more than the in creased efficiency of the old well, as shown by the test on Friday. it would be a great advantage, and give a suffi cient supply of water for all present demands.
