Dan Brown was convicted and sentenced
to pay a fine of $'2."t.00 oi

and Porterl ichl was sentenced to a

Porterfield has been up before the
mayor a number of times but it seems
the heavy fines do not have any terror
for him.
With the activity of the Newberry
police il is almost impossible to soil
whiskey without being caught and
there is scarcely any community in

enforced as in Newberry.

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.

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
