5. 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:

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.

of the pastors of the other churches,
Rev. Dr. \\ oiling extended a welcome,

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.

WITH THE ELKS.
First Social Session Of Newberry Lodge
Enjoyed By The Members And
Invited Guests.
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."

IN MEMOWAM.
Tench Pool Pel ham, Who Fell On
Sleep July 7, 1908, Aged Twenty-One
Months.
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.

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|
