TO MOVE LUTHERAN SEMINARY No Decision Made Yet as to Future Location of the Institution, but United Synod Decides to Raise Fif ty Thousand Dollars for Enlarging and Equipping a New Seminary. News and Courier. As was anticipated, the United Synods of the Lutheran church of the South have decided to remove the Theological Seminary from Motnt Pleasant. That action, according to a dispatch received last night by the News and Courier from its corres p)ndent in Savannah, where the Sy nod is now in session, was decided up on yesterday. It was also decided to offer back to the village of Mount Pleasant the property it has given the Seminary. No decision has yet been made as.to the future location of the Seminary. but the Synod did de cide to raise $50,000 for enlarging and equipping a new Seminary, and provided for a committee composed of one delegate from each Synod to carry out this plan. 'When it was planned to use the words 'receive bids' for erecting the new buildings," says the dispatch to the News and Courier, "Capt. J. C. Seegers, of Columbia, a delegate to the Synod, in a straightforward speech declared that the 'receiving of bids is gambling and nothing else.' His words created a sensation in the conference, but served to cut the ob jeetionable words out of the resolu tions passed by the Synod." The Hon. John D. Cappelmann, who as been in attendance upon the Sy od, returned t , Charleston yester ay morning. Ar. Cappelmann was n by a reporter for the News and ourier and made the following state ment: "The matter of the removal of the Theological Seminary from Mount Pleasant came up yesterday on the report of the standing committee. to whom had been referred with other matters appertaining to the Semi nary the report of the board of direc tors -(of the Seminary) presented through Hon. John F. Ficken, secre tary of the board. It should be stat ed that the prevailing objection to the location of the Seminary on Mount Pleasant was its inaccessibility, caus ing students, professors and visitors great inconvenience in attending lec tures in Charleston, and in visiting and receiving visits from their friends. This special committee rec ommended that the Seminary be re moved from Mount Pleasant to a more central location. ''Aiter much discussion on this proposition a vote was finally taken on the recommendation of the board of directors embraced in the above report to the effect that the people of Charleston should have until the first of May, 1909, to locate the Seminary in Charleston, and if re moral to Charleston be not assured by that time 'that thereafter the board be authorized t{ locate the Seminary at some point other than Mount Pleas ant within the bounds of United Sy nod. ''This proposition was lost and by this action it was clearly shown that the controlling sentiment was aga-inst giving Charleston the exclusive right to take the Seminary for the time limits. It was strongly urged that the Seminary ought to be located nearer the centre of the population from which students are to come, so that vacant charges might be served the more readily by assignments from the Seminary. "The deleer.tes from Charleston on the floor of Synod were the Rev. M. G. (G. Scherer. D. D., the Rev. W. A. C. Mueller. the Hon. John F. Ficken nd myself. a-nd we nresented Char ton's cause to the best of our abil v. "The proposition to increase the ndowment- and provide funds avail Me for removal will doubtless come p today, and the matter of relocat ing the Seminary will in all probabil it-v be left -to the board of directors, to be elected at this session of Sv nod. It is exncted that the business 'of the Synod will be finished on Sat urday." The folbwine from the Savannah Press of Thursdav efternoon will be ead with interest in Charlestou show ide, as it does, the efforts made upon the floor of the Synod by Mr. Carnel ma'nn and by Dr. Seherer to protect thi city's interests: "Mr. .J.

Ill.. Oc.tober 9.-Fresh from d his conferences ini Chicago with hun- a dreds of business men whom he also specially addressed, Wm. J. Bryan 1 today trz :elled for twelev hours C through the State of Illinois and, making numerous stops. held himself up as "the advance agent of pros perity." The panic of last fall was his principal theme, and from early morning until his last word was ut tered tonight he hammered away at the Republican charge that his elec tion meant business depression and failures. He quoted statistics show ing the number of failures in the last nine months to have exceeded those for a corresponding period in 1893 and laid particular emphasis on the fact that the panic of 1907 was under a Republican Administration. At tention was called to a statement re cently appearing in a Chicago Repub lican paper that 15.000 children went to school hungry every morning. A Democratic victory this year, he as serted. furnished the one only hope of a cure for the hard times from which, he said. the 'people are suffer ing and for a restoration of prosper ity. For the first time he referred to Mr. Lonawo:h 's statement at Mo line. Ill.. that Mr. Taft should be elected and hold office for eight years, and then he succeeded by his father in-law. President Roosevelt. "He shall not be permitted to nom inate and elect his successor," he vehemently declared. ".with the pros pect as announced by his own son-in law of ithen dictating for eight years C more. It is time that the power of the people shall be used by the peo ple." Enormous crowds greeted him ev erywhere and enthusiastically cheer ed him. With the speech delivered ~ here tonight he had spoken fourteen ~ times. The feature of his address was his denial of the statement print- ~ ed in~ a Western newspaper that he had written editorials and made ~ speeches against the granting of pen sions to old soldiers. In his audiencee were a number of veterans from the Soldiers' Home here. Accompanying the Democraticecana didate through the State today was a large delegation from the Democrat ic State committee and former Gov- t ernor David R. Francis, of Missouri. 3 NOTICE OF SALE OF LAND. A Unless soid at private sale before F that time, I will offer for sale at Newberry, S.
