PRESIDENT SOHERER'S REPORT A Successful Year Just Closed?Outlook for Futuro Encouraging and Auspicious. President Scherer, of Newberry college, submitted bis report to the board of trustees at tbeir annual meeting yesterday afternoon. The report is a very gratifying one to tbc friends of Newberry college and sbows that the institution is in a very prosperous condition both as to finances and the students in attendance. The report is printed in full and we are satisfied will be rend with interest by the ninny friends of the college. To the Hoard of Trustees of Newberry College: Gentlemen: I have the honor to submit the following repoi I: We owe devout fhauksgiviug to Almighty God for ;i session of unbroken prosperity and progress. There I lias been no serious illness of any kind among either faculty or students. The young men have behaved with remarkable propriety and have applied themselves with unusual diligence, while our score of young women have, as always, lent distinction and refinement to the college community. The total attendance has grown within a year from 222 to 'J I I, distributed as follows: I'ostgradudatcs 20 Seniors ;j] Juniors ;{;{ Sophomores ;{'| Freshmen 71 Preparatory Department .... ft 2 Total 2'M My report as treasurer of the faculty. now in the hands of vour auditing committee, presents the most satisfactory showing that I have ever been able to oiler. All salaries are paid up to date, there is enough additional income within sight to pav the lew outstanding- current accounts, and I have applied $700.00 to the reduction of our indebtedness, Hev. Z. W. Hedenbangh. who has succeeded at my rc<|uest to the otlice of treasurer of the building fund, has further reduced the indebtedness, as his report will indicate. As treasurer of the faculty I owe much to the sympathetic cooperation of Dr. (). H. "Mayer, treasurer of the semi-centennial endowment. In February last Mr. Andrew Carnegie gave a favorable response to my request for an offer of $25,000 towards a second endowment fund of $7;?,000. I have reasons to believe thai the conditions of this proposition will be met. Our generous benefactor, Dr. D. K. 1 'enrsons, paid his subscription of $2:">,000 to our semi-centennial endownment last July. The total endowments now amount to $110,000 in round numbers, and will reach $18:i,000 if our new plans mature. I he faculty of the college has been strengthened materially since my last annual report. The standing committee, acting under your instructions, elected Dr. K. /,. Thomas as successor io Pro) S. IINiwell, resigned; Dr. I\. H. Sct/.ler succeeded Prof. G. W . I lauscliild. Pro I. ('. \Y. Kiser succeeded Mr. \Y. II. Cabauiss, and Mr. I. F. Camion was added to the faculty as adjunct instructor. So far as is known, there are no changes in contemplation at the present time, except that Prof, (iilbcrt P. Yoigt wlil take Mr. .1. F. Cannon's place and divide duties with Dr. Set/.lcr in Fnglish and modern languages. The I act ult y comprises a strong body of capable ami conscientious men, working harmoniously together, supported without exception by the respect and sympathy of the students. It is highly desirable that the standard of studies be raised, steadily and cautiously, to meet the demands of the time. Our greatest hindrance' at present to more rigorous entrance requirements is a titling school of our own, where deficient students may be thoroughly prepared for the first college class. If, as reported, a hitting school (or Newberry College is to be opened at Lexington, it should certainly have every encouragement. T recommend that a committee be appointed to consider the entire question of lit ting schools and report at the next annual meeting of the board. The faculty recommends the following members of the senior class tor graduation or for the receipt of certificates of proficiency, ?s indicated. First honor was awarded to F. Wm. Cappelmann, of Charleston, and second honor to Virgil B. Seasc, of Little Mountain. For the degree of Bachelor of Arts: Jacob Moody Hedenbangh, Andrew Jackson Powers, Jr., James Baruch Bushardt.

SIMPLE WASH CURES ECZEMA. | J Itching, Burning Skin Disease Routed Without Use of Injurious Drugs. Great inventors often have been I praised for surrendering the secrets | of their discoveries. Practically the I same thing happened in the medical I world in the case of Dr. Decatur D. (Dennis, the eminent skin specialist of ' Chicago. Mr. Dennis, in his own office practice, discovered that pure vegetable oil of wintergrcen, properly mixed with other simple remedies was prac. ticall.v a sure specific for Eczema, psoriasis, barber's itch, salT rheum, and other itchimr skin diseases. But the oil of wintcrgreen alone was found ineffective. It required other mild ingredients such as glycerine and thymol compounded with the wintergreen, to produce the real eczema cure. This compounded D. D. D. Proscription positively takes away the itch , at once?the instant it is applied to the skin. This vegetable liquid docs away with deleterious drugs so long j used in an attempt to doctor the 'blood, whereas modern science has dei termined that ezccma is first and all ' the time a skin disease.
