Porterfield has been up before the mayor a number of times but it seems the heavy fines do not have any terror for him.

George Loonhirlh. Jul-24-41. ' . , * NEWBERRY COLLEGE. Dr. Scherer Says The Institution if In Excellent Condition?Prospects Bright. The Lutheran "SV.rior published some time ago articles from the pros idents of the various fjuthernn col legos in the South giving their prospects for the coining year. We tak< pleasure in giving to our readers the views of Dr. Scherer of Newberry college: At Newberry eollcgc we think thai four points arc necessary to the maintenance of tho college which oui people desire and deserve: higli standards, good sanitation, an economical environment, and, above all, influences of a positively Christian character. We are doing our best tc serve the church with the supply oi these advantages for the training oi ^icr sons. The high standards of the past will be raised 7ilghcr as rapidlj as conditions permit. Within the last two years the faculty, which it(lie heart of a college, has been materially strengthened. The curriculum lias been broadened and made much more flexible. Nov- equipment has been provided, especially in the engineering department?of which the whole Lutheran chui-cn fias a right to be proud. With such a school of technology as Newberry possesses those Lutherans are absolutely without justiI ication wlro refuse to patronize their church school. The men ol technical training are broadened b\ contact with the influences of a predominantly elassVal school, while students in the A. B. courses are benefited by (lie "practical" flavor of "the Tech." But we are not satisfied with our standards, and intend to have them of the best. In tl ic matter of sanitation the record speaks for itself. During the Inst two years there has not been a simile case of serious illness among the more than two Kindred students. I he climate of ihis equalj'.e Piedmont section has much to do with the record. Free from excessive heat, it escapes also the rigorous cold of the winter, providing delightful conditions for the nine months of the college year. The air is pure and bracing, and the water excellent, while the fact that the eollcgc stands on a high wooded hill, overlook the pleasant town of Newberry, secures the most perfect drainage. The new boarding hall, which as to have the supervision of Mrs. John A. Summer, provides wholesome and plentiful food at a cost which is a constant surprise to our visitors in these days of "high |trices." Economy is a strong point at Newberry. Not only are tuition charges unusually low?with "extras" conspicuous for their absence?but the influences of the town are such that the students find very few temptations toward a waste of funds. There are no fraternities or fashionable social organizations to tax the purse and the temper of r.ronrs, yet the homes of people of Newberry are freely open with their culture and hospitable charm to all who prove worthy of a welcome. Many young men complete tin1 session at a cost of *12o, including tuition, board and all necessary expenses. But il is our m?ral record that gives us the deepest satisfaction. Ask anv Newberry citizen or any student of the college about the behavior for the session just closed. The young men themselves take a pride in the reputation which they have established for gentlemanly deportment, intsead of boasting in rowdyism. Hazing is unknown. Clean manhood is the dormitory rule. The students themselves refuse to tolerate ungentlemanly behavior, while their Christian association enrolls rvery dormitory inmate but one in classes for religious advancement. We simply ask that Lutherans eon-?, siiler these "four points" before sending their sons to secular and often irreligious schools. "Newberry, S. C. CENTRAL METHODIST CHURCH. Rev. J. W. Wolling, D.

HOLDS THREE POSITIONS. 3 Mr. Alan Johnstone, Beside Membe: Legislature, Trustee Olemson, Holds Federal Position. 1 Mr. E. II. Anil has requested th< - Observer to print the followiuj - statement iu regard to his positioi - on the colleges and the several posi lions of profit and trust held by Mr Alan Johnstone, a candidate for tin senate: Newberry, July 22/1908. t Editor Observer?As my time wai i limited yesterday tm.v position ma; not have been understood. I am no l opposed to Clemson college. Neithei am 1 opposed to the South Carolim , University or to Wmtlirop. I thinl i they are all extravagant as to tin > expenditure of public funds. - I would like to have you print tin following the substance of which : used in reply to the statement of Mr Johnstone that he secured the opin ! ion of Mr. Youmans before to* enter ? ed the race for the legislature tw< years ago, as I did not state whei 1 this opinion of the supreme ?ourt was 1 delivered. The fact that Mr. John 1 stone consulted Mr. Youmans shows lie had doubt. He must have consult ' ed Mr. Youmans early in the summer of 190(5. This opinion was hand ed down in 1097 after Mr. Youmans deatli and after Mr. Johnstone wat elected. I am sure, ?e will not put the opinion of Mr. Youmans, thougli a good lawyer, against the supreme court which is tin* court of last resort in this State and whose opinion is the law of the case. The point I am malting is that Mr Johnstone is holding his seat in the house in violation of the constitution of this State, and that the provison of this constitution is a wise one. Further if lie is nor the agent of the State? and is not holding a position under the State why does he, as president of the board of trustees of Clemson college, make report to the legislature and in that report why does he say in referring to his predoeessor, Col. Simpson, also a life member: "The faithful and efficient service rendered to the State of South Carolina by this honest and earnest public servant," etc. Article ITT, Section 24 of the constitution of .189;") says that "No person shall be eligle to a seat in the general assembly, while lie holels any office or position OF PROFIT OR TRUST under this State, tlie Uniteel States of America, or any of them, or under any other power, except officers in the militia and notaries public; and if any member shall except or exercise any of (lie said disqualifying offices or POSITIONS he shall vacate his seat.1' As to the trusteeship of I\fr. <VoTinstone and chairmanship of the board of trustees of Clemson college, I will say that T have the highest respect and consideration fr.u- fTie opinions of the late lamented Gen. LeRoy Youmansj but sometimes and oftentimes lawyers arc mistaken in the views anel" opinions which they take/tni any subject and the only way in which to settle the matter definitely and to see who is right and what is law in this Slate is to refer to the opinions of the highest court of the land, the opinion of the supreme court of the Stiite of South Carolina. What eloes it say? In the case e>f Hopkins v. Clemson college trustees, 77 S. C. Reports, p 12, which was handeel elown by our supreme court in January, 1907, and which is declared by that court to be the law in the State of South Carolina, it holds that the trustees of Clemson eoiic-ce are officers and agents of the State and it gives its reasons for so holding anel tliov m e perfectly so md. A.niov._> othet ?v;?? ons it gives for saying that Muv are agfiits of the State is that under the original act, ace-opting the Clemson bequest and creating Clemson college provides that the tinstees of the institution shall consist of the tifn members and those elected' by the legislature and that they shall hold the personal nre?pr.rty of the Stale f f South Cr**olina pjid make annual lenr.rts to the general assembly r.f their acts and doings. They were further anthr-rizeel te> purchase additional lands, 228 acres, adjoining the Fort Hill place, and gave them ecitrol of certain funds and the privlegc tax which was to be expended under their direction. Does the State or has the State any right to authorize any one not an office or agent of the State to expend ?rs funds? Further, in 1890, the legislature passed an act abolishing the department of agriculture anet DEVOLVED THE DUTIES OF TUTS DEPARTMENT ON THE TRUSTEES AND TUTS MAKES .TTIEM AGAIN OFFICERS OF THE STATE. Further a municipal corporation was created by tlie legislature in 1894 to be known as Clemson college and "the board of trustees of Cloin-9^B son eollcgo and their successors inji^B r of lice shall have perpetual control and direct the affairs of said corpor-'^Hj ation." The trustees admitted in this suit that the Clcmson college ^B e property was the property of thel^K ; Slate of South Carolina and that the^B 1 work done 011 account or which the'^^k - suit was brought was done "by snicJBf State, through its agents and employ-' a ees, duly authorized by the State." *: They thus admitted that they were M| agents and officers of the Stato. For B: 3 the above reasons, the supreme court Bji / of this State held that they wore K& t agents of the State and this is now f the law in this State. M v Mr. Youinan's opinion was mado jfl t before the question was settled by >]H 2 the supreme court. The opinion of the supreme court is the law. /? ? Mr. Johnstone admitted at the a? [ meeting at Mt. Pleasant that he held W4 . a position of trust and profit under jf|< .. the general government?Cotton j?rc . Statistician of tlio Bureau of the Cen> sus, Department of United States? f|); i but lie had forgotten about it. I un3 derstand it pays about $50 per month. Mm . He is still exercising the duties of B^i 3 this position and drawing the pay B/!; . and has not vacated his seat in tho . general assembly and is asking the . people to send him to the senate from B > this county even though tho constitu- fi . tion he has sworn to uphold says "he fK t shall vacate his seat" if he "exer1 e.ises" any "office or position of pro- B} fit or trust" under "this State"'or B . "United States of America." fl , Mr. Johnstone insists that lie has V never sought office except when the people demanded hiin. I simply ask , are the people demanding that he ? seek and hold office in violation of IgHj the constitution he lias sworn to upAs I presume you are going to wj . prinl a full report of the first meet- h:" ing 1 would like to liave this statement of my position appear in tho same issue. 1Kv T am a candidate for the senate on my own volition as I have a right to he under the rules of tho party, The people can decide between us.
