Talk to the Students of the College --Judge Brown Recalls Days of Long Ago. During the first of the week it was the pleasure of the citizens of New berry to have in their midst a party of distinguished visitors from the "Old Keystone" State, consisting of Judge and Mrs. J. Hay Brown, Hon. W. U. Hensel, and Mr. W. H. Hensel. Tiese prominent Pennsylvanians were given a most hearty and cordial welcome by all of Newberry's prom inent citizens not only because of their being men who have taken a high place in their professions in life, but because they were especially in terested in Newberry owing to the fact that one of the party at least is connected with the history of New berry of the past, and because all of them came to us rejoicing in the prosperity of Newberry of the pres ent, and more especially because they are interested in and loyal to New berry's pride, the college of our town. A meeting was arranged at the col lege on Monday morning and the pub lie cordially invited -to hear Judge Brown and the Hon. W. U. Hensel address the student body. The spacious auditorium of Hoi land Hall was full and gave the vis itors a hearty greeting. President J. Henry Harms conducted the exercis es of the morning, and after a sweet and impressive devotional opening, President Harms introduced Hon. W. U. Hesel to the audience, as one of the most prominent lawyers of the State of Pennsylvania, and a man who had filled several of the highe.>t offices in that State. Mr. Hensel began his remarks by saying that he at least would come into favor on one account, and that was he would save the college boys and girls from the first hour's recita tion of this a blue Monday morning. The address of Mr. Hensel was listen ed to with the closest attention, and it abounded in wise counsel to the large body of youths before him. He said it was a. great 'pleasure to him to be in this section of the fair South, and that the hospitality which had been extended to their party hiAd more than fulfilled his fullest dream s of 4he falnous Southern hospitality. He said t:hat before going over to the colee he had walked on the city green around the momunment erected to the fallen heroes of the Lost Cause and as he read the 450 names in scribed, on this monument he had been greatly impressed with the fact that many of them were the same names of families in his own county of Lan caster in the State of Pennsylvania. He dwelt on the fact that we are a reunited country owin~g to the fact that wve are all kin, that the same true patriotic blood flows in the veins of both sections of our country. Mr. Hensel also congratulated New berry college on the fact that it was a .small college, and pointed out in eloquent words the great mission of the small college. He said that he hrad learned when a South Carolinian came to Pennsyl vania he always came back to South Carolina but when a Pennsylvanian Game to South Carolina to li-.e he~ found. that he came to -day. In co:a netion with this he paid a glowing and beautiful tribute to David Ram say who had made the city of: C2.r leston his home. Mr. Hensel urged the young mea and young women before ,him to make the most of their time, to remember that the seconds made minutes, the minutes hours, the hours days, tire days seasons, the seasons ye a-s, al-1 the years life. He urged the necessity of a firm fo'undation in matheast'es and the classies as the passport to sucess in all lines of life in after years, and tried to impress upon the 'tdent body the trut-h of the old adage, ''The mill will never grind again with the water that is passed.'' In closing his morning address Mr. Hensel paid the most beautiful tri bute to the South's great chieftain. Gen. Robert E. Lee. He read extracts from an address made by him some time ago in which the character of Lee was -shown in that clear, pure light. which ever surrounds the name of our own brave chieftain. This paper entitled ''Robert Ec. Lea, as a citizen. soldier, and statesman,'' will be published in another issue of The Herald and News. Mr. Hensel concluded his rrarks with these stirriing lines, the se'nti ment of whieh he had tried in his previous remarks to instil into the minds of the students before him: 'I am commander of my fate The captian of my soul.'' Dr. Harms then introduced Judge Brown,i whom. he explainred to the auice, had as a bare foot boy p)lay ed on the hills around Newberry, had fihed in Scott 's Creek with a erook d?E pin, had hunted the 'possum with ~Bill Fair and Joe Hunter and Bobby Smpkins andi who because Bobby SimpIdis ibad done something that Brown and Fair though wrong had had Bobby's mother to give him a severe thrashing, but that on this vis it Judge Brown had reimbu-rsed Bob for the day's work and injustice with interest compounded during the in tervening forty-nine years. Judge Brown, who is very stately in his manner, t:hen came forward and in a voice full of pathos said: "I am not going to address you now. I could scarcely trust my tongue to speak. This is a sacred spot to me. Around it clusters sweet and hallow ed memories. Over there in the old chapel my father, my good father, used to stand when he talked to the college boys, read the Bible to them, and prayed. "Fifty years ago last month he came here at the invitation of your people to take a place in the faculty of this then a young and struggling institution. He, my mother, and their children, spen4 two happy years among you. "Like the man Mr. Hensel has de scribed to you my father came here to staly. He came here to live. the rest of the days of %his life trying to do good among you. He came here to be one of your people, and in the end to be buried among you. But the war cloud settled over the South and reluctantly he left this community reluctan.tly he left this college-and went ,back to the people from whom he cam-e and continued in his -work of doing good until his strong right hand became lhelpless at his side and his tongue refused to pray. With the deepest love and affection he had oped to come again here and revisit-. this State. "Forty-eight years ago I left and ever since I reached manhood espe eially have I longed to come back and-here I am. "I came here on Saturday. I look ed around for the old town as I used to know it and it was gone. and the only old land marks t:hat I knew are the old court house in the square, which I hope will never be demolish ed, and the old jail is still serving its purpose the same now as then. ''The town has grown wonderful V. Of not more than 1500 then you have now 8000.. "I have also looked around for the old friends, the old companions of m1 father and mother. I found but1 two or three. All the rest of them are in the dwelling plaees of the silent. And when I look~ around for those whio were boys wif me nearly al-l of them are gone. William Fair. '-Joe Hunter, and Osborne Schumnpert are all of them whom I could find that I knew. ''The object of greatest interest is this college. I remember i-t -when it was young, the days of its beginning, and I remember-saw-what John Baciman plan-ted. I remember see ing it watered by my father and his good coworkers, and I remember it a little plant and come back to see it a great healthy tree, under whose healthy branches you young men and women hare opportunities that you may not now know, but let me em phasize what has been so logically and forcibly said by my brot.her, the opportunities of the small college are the opportunities for a thorough edu eation, and I regret that you may nlot know these opp)ortunities now, b)ut i hope you may know before it will be too late, for after awhile when you go out in-to the world and look around ou will find the men who are the best equipped by education wh?eher for business or professional life, the vast majority have come fro~m the small college, with which God has blessed the land from one end to the other. I have two little boys, learn ing now to read and write, If 'I am spared to see them grown up and old enough to go to college tbr ti?l not go to the big college or the uni versity, and I d-o not say this in dis paraement or with intention to dis parage the work of, t:hese great ~int tutions, but they will go to a collese like this.. .1 hope they may go to what is The Newberry 'college of Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvania col lege.

In this day of wild chasing of the classies, resulting in a mad poundinfi of instruments whi-JI., though it may not scare the classic from its hiiding, is strongly recommended by the -expo nents of physical culture, it is re freshing to get back sometimes to the simple days of the fiddle and the bow. A-n'd so it was that the Fiddlers' Convention, which was held in the opera house on Tiharsday evening, under the au-spices of the Newberry Civic -association, satisfied a longing in many who, while they may not be able to appreciate as they should the outpourings of a Caruso or the gym nastics of a Paderewski, find them selves sometimes silently sighing for the old-time -Southern melodies-the melodies that mingle the songs of the birds with the fragrance of the or ange blossoms and the violet and the jessamine; that softly breathe love and peace and eontent as they can be found only under sunny Southern skies. The fiddlers-they were not violinists-who appeared in the con vention on Thursday evening prob ably will never receive any flattering offers from Sousa; but who would want to hear Sousa play, or even Madame Calve or Madame Sembrich sing, if instead they could listen to "The Mocking Bird" on an old-time fiddle pouring forth its melody under the magie touch of an old-time bow? The attendanee was not as large on Thursday evening as it should have been. Not only was the entertain ment bright and attractive and more than worth the small price of admis sion, but it was given in a worthy cause. Many of those who were pres ent hope that another convention will be given at some time in the near fu ture. The enterti:nment was undier the dire(-noii -f Mr. L. 0. Tyler, who an 101nn11ed the proZram. The perform ers were Mr. H. M. Barger- and Mr. W. J. Smith. ofT,Newberry: Messrs. J. S. Morris. J. K. Morris. Morris. and Miss Li-li.e Morris, of the county. emnp-osing the Morris band. and Messrs. Mance Row, Sam L. Smith, and J1. S. J. Suber. of the county. Each of the contestants for the priz es played th :'ee selections, Mr. Bar ger opening the entertainment. Among his selections was 'The Mock ing Bird."' which was rendered as only one can ren'der it who has loved the notes ofxthis sweet-throa ted song ster from his chil'dhood days. A pleas ant feature of the program was the rendition of "Dixie'' by the entire eonvention. In addition to the mus ical part of' the program there was some excellent clog dancing by Mr. Sam L. Smith. Mr. J. K. Morris, and Mr. H. H. Franklin and Mr. J. S. Morris. The first fiddler's prize was awarded to Mr. J. S. Mor'ris, and t-he second prize to Mr. W. J. Smith. The lady 's prize was awarded Miss Lillie Morris. Mr. J. K. Morris re eived the pr'ize for the best clog daning. The judges were Messrs. W. E. Felker, Will Ruff and H. H. Frank lin. The Teachers' Association. T:he regular monthly meeting of the teachers' association was held at the court house Saturday morni ng at 11 o selock. Dr. Setzler spoke again on English Grammar, treating especially this time the sub.ject of case. The inter est of the members was aroused at once by reference .to the much de ated questi.on concerning the cor rectness of the following sentence: "The public are invited.' After a discussion, the vote taken decided in the affirmative. Dr. Setzler foreeful lv :howed that case is based on use not on form; following this up with four elear~ rea.sons for a dative case in En''li.:n Grammar. Dr. Harms, who, it was hoped, would address the association, was anfortunately hindered from being prent. Mr. Wheeler s'ugge4ted tihe theory of Farme:s' Clubs. a.s propounded by Mr. Martin, and pleaded for t-he es ta:blihment of the clubs in the dis trict schools. About 30 were present at the meet ing. More interest is being manifest e, and we -hope that each teacher and trustee will show her and his interest in -education by regular a'titendance. gieyou.

The Exercises Were Too Long-De cision on Bank Reserve Against Position of W. J. Bryan. The annual celebration of t.he lit erarv societies of Newberry college was held in the opera house on last Friday evening. Tie Excelsior and Phrenakosmian Society representa tives debated the question: "Resolv ed. That the Bank Guarantee Fund, as advocated by Mr. Bryan in the last Presidential Carr,aign, should b-e adopted." The judges composed of Messrs. J. B. Hunter, W. H. Wallace, J. W. Hal tiwanger, C. D. Weeks, and F. L. By inum. decided -that the nega.tire on the question produced the best arguments. The negative was represented by P. J. B-ame and B. C. Monroe; and the affir mative by Alan Johnstone and H. B. Hare. Mr. W. L. Kibler presided over the exercises and presented the speak ers. The Excelsior orator was C. J. Shealy, who spoke on "The New South.' The Phrenakosmian orator was H. A. Lubs, who spoke on "A Call for Lighit. The Philomathian Essayist was Miss Marie Summer, and her essay was on "The Life That Endures." The orators were rather lengthy and kept the audience until nearly twelve o'clock. Elks Elect Officers. At the regular meeting of the New berry lodge of Elks Mr. F. H. Dom iniek was elected exalted ruler: R. 1-. Wrilzht. Esteeimed Leadinz Knight: 0. MeR. Holmes. Esteemed Lecturin. Knigit: E.ue. S.

Thomas and Wife, Of Newberry, a'ppeared before a Laurens audience last Friday night and captivated and charmed .every one who heard the eloquent lecture and the excellent singing. The house was not as full as it ought to have been, and those of our friends who were absent certainly missed one of the richest and rarest treats that those of us who were present ever en joyed in that opera house, and we wo had the pleasure of listening to Dr. and Mrs. T'homas will long re member the occasion. What the audience lacked in num bers. however, was for the most part made up in culture and refinement. by people who were capable of appre iating and thoroughly enjoying the high gra.de entertainment last Friday night. School Superintendent B. L. Jones introduced Dr. Thomas to the audi ence and Miss Kat-e Glenn was piano aeecmpanist to Mrs. Thomas. Superintendent Jones took the oc asion to speak a good word for the future welfa.re of the lyceum course in Laurens, and what he so well said will h.ave a good effect. Mrs. Thomas favored her hearers with several musical numbers and she a-t once won all hearts by the grace and beaut\' of her presence and voice. That her sweet and cultivated voice greatly pleased them wvas shown by t:e ,enthusiastic .and encoring ap plause which she received. The subject of the lecture-recital by Doctor Thomas was "The Life T:'agedy of Edgar Allen Poe.'" The ratior and educator proved himself a mster of elocution and word-paint inw anid he thrilled the entire aud ience by his wonderful power of speech and unsurpassed ability as a reader. The recital of The Raven and of The Bells held the audience spell-bound and was the most enrap tring and enchanting rendition we have ever heard.-Laurens Herald. Mower Co.
