Is Met and Welcomed by Two Hun dred and Fifty Students-Has Gone to Savannah. Rev. J. H. Harms, the new presi dlent of Newberry College, arrived in Newberry Tuesday from Pennsyl vania accompanied by his family. For the present he is stopping with his family at the residence of Prof. W. K. Sligh, his brothef-in-law, but will move into the president's house on the campus just as soon as the house can be put in order. On his arrival here Tuesday at noon he was met by the faculty and the entire student body. It was an 3. iing scene and must have made lie new president feel good to see 250 students in line to meet and wel come him. In fact it was a matter of surprise amongst a great many of our citizens who really did not know that there were so many young men in our midst taking the college course. It frequently hap pens that those who live in a college community are so busy with their own affairs and so absorbed in busi ness that they do not realize the great work that is being done right in their midst for the education of the young, and many of our citizens did not know that there were so many students here. President Harms attended chapel exercises Wednesday morning and was presented to the students by Dr. A. J. Bowers in a few pleasing re marks. Dr. Bowers has been acting as chairman of the faculty since the departure of Dr. Scherer. President Harms responded in an informal ad dress of greetings to the students and expressed himself as much gratified at the warm and hearty reception which he has been given. After chapel exercises were over lie met each of the classes separately in his office at the college so as to become personally acquainted with all of the scholars in the beginning of his term. There are now about 250 students enrolled at the college and the work has been organized and is well under war. President Harms left Wednesday night for Savannah, Ga., to attend the meeting of the United Synod of the Lutheran Church in the South which is in session in that city. The arrangements for the formal inauguration of the new president are in the hands of the standing committee of the board of trustees and will be compl.eted just as soon as it is possible to do so. The program for these services will be announced latter. It is the desire of the college authorities to have the inauguration just as soon as it is possible. WOMAN'S MISSIONARY SOCITY.

It has been talked about for some- a time and it will be good news for our c people that the city council has de- t termined to begin the work. If the work can be commenced and is pro- n perly doie so that the citizens may i know just what this improvement S means there is no doubt there will be t a demand for more of it. e At the meeting on Wednesday even- t ing a special committee composed of b Messrs.

Mitchell, REPORT ON SEWAGE. ommissioners Public Works to Make Report City Council Next Week. S)me months a'go the com1issionl rI of public works begaln to secure stimates of the cost for extending Ie sewa,,e system in Newberry. These estimates have been received nd a* special meeting of the city ouncil will be held next week to hear he report of the special committee. This is one of the most important iatters connected with the city. It not only important to have the ewage system continued but it is al o important to have the city water xtended so that it may be within he reach of the citizens. It is said y those who have opportunity to ob erve that wherever there are fever ases in the city in nearly every case is among those residents who use tell water, and as citizens and tax ayers they are entitled to the op ortunity of securing the pure city a'ter just as much as the other cit aens of the city. The board of health also condemn d the septic tank and in the exten ion of the sewage system it will be ecessary to remove the septic tank urther down the creek or to empty he sewage further away from the itr. As son : t.:e report is submi.tted o the city the cost of this addition 1 improvement can be made known. It will require an additional issue f bonds but there is scarcely any hing in which the people could put heir money .to better advantage han those things which pertain to he good health of the community.
