PRESIDENT SCHERER RESIGNS. >80 will Accept Presidency of Throop Instl lute, In California?His Letter to Tlie Board of Trustees. President James A. h Selierer of Newberry college, sends his res in- ignation to the board of trustees o bo- Newberry college. He asks that il in" take effect on October i, but he wil remain until January i, if th< to board desires that he shall do so, He will accept the position offered mo him in Pasadena, Cal., as president of Throop institute. IM Dr. Scherer came to Newbciry on only about four years ago, fron: 0f the pastorate of a church in Charleston. His administration at New ml berry has been eminently successHI' fill. Through his efforts the endowment has been greatly enlarged; new buildings have been erected, to and the roll of students has materia ially increased. The college is now ,n in a more prosperous condition than at any previous time in its history. !V_ The friends of the college everywhere will receive with regret the i)o announcement of Dr. Scherer's resin? ignation. The many friends of Dr. Scherer in Newberry regret the renioval of Dr. Scherer and his faini11 ly from this mid. t. Hut there is another side to this ro [)(l question. The position to which Dr. Scherer is called opens a broadlil cr field for his labors, and it is an at opportunity which comes possibly but once to a man, and it would be an extremely selfish view to try to keep Dr. Scherer in Newberry. l,o The work at Newberry is well il organized, and it will not be such a difficult task for some one else to i>- take up the duties and carry for>v ward the continued upbuilding of KS the institution. (i The board of trustees of Newberry college will probably hold a t<? meeting ;U an early day to select Dr. Scherer's successor. Following is Dr. Scherer's letter iy> of resignation: m "Newberry College, "Newberay, S. C., l>- "July 19, 1908. 0.1 "To the President of the Board of Trustees of Newberry College ? 1,'J Sir: I herewith tender my resigl,0 nation as president of Newberry college, in order to accept the presiiy idency of Throop institute, Pasahy dena, California. While I am wil^ ling to remain in my present posi tion until next January if conditions demand it, I urge that the board so arrange matters as to permil me to leave in October if possi,0 ble. Please convey to the board my (1> profound appicciation of their tin( failing support in my efforts to advauce the interests of the college. I also desire to express my gratitude to the iacultv, students, aluuiu', townspeople, and our eonstituvn ency in the State at large for that os sympathetic co-operation which >'< alone can make any institution suel0" cessful. .,.1 of "Invoking the blessing of God upon your further services in beHalf of Newberry college, and cherishing the confident belief that still brighter days are in store for this institution, I remain, " Respectfully and sincerely yours, U1 "James A B.

The "Mystic" has been and is furnishing attractive and innocent amusement, and it deserves the patlonage of the people ot Newberry. The program this week is most attractive and the enterprise of the management in securing such a program should be encouraged by largo audiences at each performance. Tlie Presbyterian Church. As is the custom in this city, the several congregations met Sunday night in a union service in the Presbyterian church to welcome the Rev. Mr. .lames, the new pastor. At the request of the pastors of the other churches, Rev. Dr. \\ oiling extended a welcome, speaking of tho new churches, three of them, erected to the praise of God. and also mentioning that the pastoral force is now complete. Rev. Mi. James spoke on the Transfiguration of Christ, drawing some practical lessons from tiie experiences of the disci pics of Christ on that occasion. The new pastor is a man well pre pared, of a very fraternal spirit, and a pleasant speaker. Miss Pel ham presided at the piano i'nd the singing was very pleasant. The entire services were Inspiring and thus we have another proof of the fra1 ternal spirit in this community. CENTRAL METHODIST CHURCH. - (Rev! J. \Y. Welling, D. D. Pastor.) Along with (ho tegular congregation a large number of visitors was present at Central on Sunday morning. Dr. Wolllng chose his text from the Old Testament and spoke on "The . torces in the life to bring success," , showing that the only true success must find at the close an open heaven and a favorable God. Three persons, were received to membership, whose names are the following: Alice E. - Dent. Katie May Franklin and Bet son Jones, thus continuing the record of the reception of members at every communion of this year. The music and singing were beautiful and very spirited. Prof. Brockmau lias a genius for directing choirs. Miss Gilder's selection, sung with the violin, was full of sentiment and well tendered. The communion was partaken of by a largo number and tho entire services were worshipful. Card of Thanks.

The first social session of Newberry lodge, No. 1103, Benevolent and Protective Order of Klks, was held in the club rooms of the lodge, in Scott building, 011 Thursday evening. The session was attended by the members of the lodge and a numberjof invited friends, and wat a very delightful occasion. The musical program, which was charmingly rendered, was as follows, the piano accompaniments being by Mrs. J. W. Haltiwanger and Prof. Krnst Brockmann: Clifton Mazurka, melody in F.? Rubenstein (violin solo) ? Mr. Ernst Brockmann. Jr. I he Rosary?"Love Me and the World is Mine" (vocal solo)?Mrs. Lent/. Springtime at Parting (vocal solo) ?Miss Genevieve Evans. O Lovely Night?Ronald (vocal solo) ? Miss Pauline Gilder. The appreciation of the audience was shown by the encores, which were most generously responded to. The program in its rendition was a musical treat. Mr. Fred. H. Dominick, a devoted Elk, presided with ease and grace. For transgression of various rules of the social session he fined many of the members present ?in fact, none has been seen who escaped?and the fines were promptly paid under the persuasive eloquence of that great and enthusiastic Elk, II. H. Evans. Among the pleasures of the evening was a short and happy and appropriate address by the Rev. Dr. J. W. Wolling. The Rev. Edw. Callender, who 's one of the most valued and devoted members of the lodge, assist ed in making the evening a success, and to him no little of the credit is due. It is expected that another social session will be held in the near future. "Hobby? Mass." Mr. Robert Bass, of Newberry, who has been engaged in the printing business since lie could walk, and who made good in that business, lias gone 011 the stage, and that he is succeeding cn the stage is shown by the following from the Columbia Record of last week. And, by the way, Mr. Bass's partner, .Miss Brady, is this week at "The Mystic," the team having dissolved and Miss Brady and Mr. Bass being each for themselves: "Columbia has made several contributions to stageland and without exception those who have adopted the footlights as a profession have made good. Pat Crawford and Billy Beard have attained a leading place in minstrelsy and every sceason their reputation and salary-commanding abilities have grown until now they are second to none in the country. By hard work, combined with their natural talents, these two well known Columbians have attained a commanding place in theatredom. Their successes have been greatly gratifying to their many friends, and at tho close of each season they are given tho glad hand when they return to the city to spend a few weeks with relatives and friends. "Two more young stage performers whose recent work before local audiences speaks well for their future prospects are Miss Ethel Brady and Mr. Robert Bass, both of whom are well known and popular in the city, where their work is being watched with interest by their many friends. Mr. Bass is capable of doing a firstclass black face turn or playing juvenile comedy. Miss Brady plays the soubrette part and her pleasing personality and stiige mannerisms enable her to win at once with the audience. Mr. Bass and Miss Brady also work In double comedy parts or sketches, honors and reputation who are now appearing at ono of the electric theatres are pleasing the management and audiences. Thoy contemplate going 011 the road, where their friends confidently expect them to make good." "These young aspirants for stage road, whero their friends confidently expect them to make good." lMenic at Kcltt's Grove. There will be a county union pionic at Keltt's Grove Thursday, July 16.

There en mo into being October 4th, t!)0l?, a lovely spirit in the person of ; Tench Pool Polham, the first-born to . Doctor and Mrs. William 131'lorbe Polham, Jr., to gladden tho hearts of fond and devoted parents. Tho child grew and waxed strong in physique . and intelligence and for a period of 21 t months and 3 days, was the idol of a . happy home, and the joy and inspiration to every heart. During these brief months, wo looked Into his expressivo ; eyes and saw, we thought, the counterpart of his loved ones, in the graces and virtues that go to form a noble , character. In his development and growth there wan a pride and no little kite rest was manifested in his culture rnd well-being. Mis unconscious influence had exerted a bearing like a sweet benison to every one closely associated, and so, fondest hopes were indulged that he would be long spared to cheer and to bless. "A little child shall lead thorn." No wonder then, except perchance to those of callous heart, that a prattling babe could make his impress so strong. Alas! alas!! human hopes are blasted, and human ties are sundered, and human tears must be shed! We loved liini dearly, but God loved hitn more than wo, and lie called him to Himself. to make up his jewels, and may we say too, that He might call us all the more tenderly to His own loving heart? Sickness fell upon the dear child, and all that anxious hearts could do, and all that human skill could accomplish, were unavailing and fruitless, and so the tender strength grew weaker and the life chords became tense and tho pure and spot.less life was wafted to the home made happy ami bright by (he sainted ones who have gone before. IX would seem a cruel thing doubtless to our bleeding and broken hearts that tho innocent babe was taken and we left, whose lifework may he nearly accomplished, but for the Christian faith and hope, that "He doeth all things well," and that "He doth not afflict willingly, nor grieve the children of men." The c ompasslonate master has told us "Of such is the Kingdom of Heaven." God's gloryland is resplendent surely with the beloved and young, who by their presence do becta.n to us to meet tfieni there and participate with them in the pleasures of an eternal and blissful home. After an illness of four weeks, Baby Tench, fell on sleep, Tuesday evening, July 7, 100S, tho sorrowing families present, mingling their tears in their common grief. He was a child of exquisite and engaging manners in one so young, of beautiful form and fealures, and was the promise to plighted love of happier days to come. He loved flowers, and had no greater pleasure in life than to gather and enjoy them, and so as his last companions in the white casket that continued his attenuated form it was indeed fitting that pure white roses, expressive tokens of God's love to his creatures, should be closest to him in the newly-made grave. The flowers and floral offerings that were sent by admiring friends formed ;? veritable bank upon the sod and were tributes of affection from the old and young. Farewell, little joy of our hearts; we cannot have you back, hut we can go to you. "When a sudden sorrow conies, Like the cloud and night, Only wait for God's tomorrow, And all will then lie bright, Only wait and trust Iliui, Just a little while. After evening tear drops, Shall come tho morning smile." One who loved him. FAKMKHS OIL MILL. Annual Meeting of Stockholders Yesterdiiy?Most Successful Year.

MISS NANCE AT O'NEALL. l'^| Delivers Intensely Interesting Address? ||j|| Patrons Anxious to Establish High f.1 School. Y:? The people of the O'Neall section / ^ijj of this county are making efforts tc# s\j establish a high school under the provisions of the high school law 1 passed by the legislature. A mass meeting was held at the I school house 011 Saturday. There \ was a large and interested number ( of people present. \ Prof. Hand had been invited to I be present but wired lie could not 5 come. Miss Mary T. Nance, president of the Rural School Improvement association, of South Caro- I lina, was present, however, and de- j livered a most interesting and in- I structive address, Miss Nance was 5 presented by Col. E. H. Aull, who * spoke briefly of the great work she j ] is doing in this State for the im- jj j provement of the rural schools and I I the cause of the education of the |i masses. > Miss Nance spoke for more than ,/ an hour and held the closest atten- i tiqn of her hearers. She is deeplj' | in earnest in her work and im- ^ presses her earnestness upon her |j hearers and there is 110 doubt that f! good fruit will result from her vis- \ it to O'Neall. Already an election has been ordered and it is believed } the people will vote for the est-.b- J, lishment of the high school. The only trouble will be in overcoming some of the technicalities thrown around the law by the State board which make it rather difficult for a 1 rural community to secure one of ?* these schools. A short address 011 education was made by Dr. Pugli, of the Columbia College. Dr. Pugli is a native of this section and is himself much interested in the establishment of a high school. Everybody should be interested in the improvement of the rural schools. ;1| ANNOUNCEMENT. !
