COLLEGE GRADUATES, "FARE YOU FORTH AND FAREWELL." (Continued from page one.) ington. The presentation was made by Dr. A. J. Bowers, professor of Greek, and he stated that Mr. R. W. Houseal and Mr. Grady H. Hipp, of Newberry, had made the race so close that all of them deserved a medal, but that, taking in the entire course, Mr. Hendrix had a small percentage to his advantage. Mr. Jno. M. Kinard, of Newberry, offered a gold medal to that fresh man who has the best standing for admission in the sophomore class. This medal was presented by Prof. 0. B. Cannon, and he stated that it took very careful calculation to tell who of the following were entitled to the medal: Miss Gladys Chappell, Messrs. Geo. B. Setzler, Vernon Wheeler, Clemson M. Wilson and Jesse E. Bal lentine, but after a careful calcula tion of percentage it was decided that Mr. Ballentine had won the med al and it was presented to him. - The faculty furnished a scholarship to that student who prepared during the session the best composition or article for the Stylus. The commit tee to pass upon these compositions awarded the scholarship to Mr. C. P. Barre, of Prosperity, the announce ment being made by President Harms. President Harms then announced that the board had conferred the degree of master of arts upon Prof. W. E. Black, of Lexington, and the degree of doctor of divinity upon Rev. J. A. Sligh, of this county. The diplomas were then presented to the graduating class. The bacca laureate address was made by Presi dent Harms. In bidding God speed to the members of the class of 1910, Dr. Harms said: "Fare You Forth and Farewell." "This is. a day to you and us of mingled pride and pathos. The time has come for parting and parting words. Today you take regretful S- leave of the halcyon happy days of college life. You pass out from the protecting shelter of your alma mater to the storm and struggle which are going to test the fibre of your woman hood and manhood. You have today but a half realization of the sadness of this occasion. It is said that dis tance. lends enchantment to the view, but, my friends, the gathering dis tance of the years that come and put you ever further from the dear o'ld college and its joys, will bring yvou an enchantment which wiP be tinged with a .nost cei-tain twang of hunger for a pleasure that has perished, and a fellowship that has, fled. Year by year you are going to realize as you can not now, what it means to cut the moorings and thrust forth your craft upon those unknown and tn tried seas, and out there in the strug gle, in what Goethe calls "the stream of life," I am sure, unless I have mis fudged you badly, that you will lift up a prayer for your old college which has taught you the goodness of knowledge and tried to show you the goodness of God. "And yet, regretful though it be, this is a proud hour in your life. The taste of high achievement is In your soul. You have finished something, you have struggled and succeeded, and today that old college yonder crowns you with its honors. Four years ago you knocked at the doors of old Newberry and were admitted. In the then dim distance you looked forward to this time and between the far-off prize and you there stretched a rough uncertain road. But you set your face with resolution to gain the goal and this, morning is the proudest hour of your life. You have won the crown of duty well and nobly done and knowing you young men and women as I do, I do not doubt that the college is adding strength and honor and distinction to itself In placing its approval on you today. We doubt not you will be true men and women, doing deeds of service to your world and credit to yourselves and honor to the institution which sends you forth. "I lay ,.upon you three requests: Keep your courage; look danger in the face, and do not blink. Write on your doors the saying, wise and old, "Be bold, be bold, and everywhere be bold. Be not too bold; yet better the excess Than the defect; better the more than less; Better like Hector on the field to die Than like a perfumed Paris turn and fly." "As you go out today keep your courage. Make couiage your com panion. Keep your promises. The man whom the world delights to hon or is the man who keeps his word, who honors his own word as his God's. Practice truth speaking. Blessed is the man whose word is as good as his bond and as accurate in the record above. Keep your prom ises to man and keep your\ promises to God. Complete the promise that you leave with us today that you will scorn thie base and seek the high and a clean and lofty. For all clean-minde< men ~applaud the bard of Avon, wh4 says: "Be these juggling friends no mor believed That palter 'with us in a double sense That keep the word of promise to oui ear And break it to our tope." "And, lastly, keep your faith in Go< and goodness. "Give no place to cinicism. "Whatsoever things are true, what soever things are honest, whatsoeve: things are pure, whatsoever thing are lovely, whatsoever things are o good report; if theie be any virtui and if there be any praise, think oi I these things." "Write men's faults upon the sand and inscribe their virtue on the tab lets of enduring memory. "Finally be loyal .to your alma mat er. Never dream that any price yoi paid can be commensurate with thi inspiration and the influence she ha bred into your bones. Be loya alumni of Newberry college. "Fare forth, then, keeping fait] with yourself, 'with your brethren and with' your God. "Fare you forth, dear young men an< women, "Fare you forth and farewell. First Honor Medal. For the first time in the history o: the college a medal was offered t that student who is awarded the firs honor at the end of his course. Thil medal was offered: by Mr. J. H. Sum mer, of Ne-berry, and presented b: President Harms to Mr. Alan John stone, Jr. Just before the closing of the ex ercises, .Dr. Geo. B. Cromer announc ed that Erskine college had just con ferred upon President Harms the de gree of doctor of divinity. The session of 1910'was brought t a close with the singing of "Aul Lang Syne," the music being led b: the Opheus club. JUNOR ORATORICAL CONTST Medal Won by Mr. C. H.

"You, their successors, who ' are spending a few years of tranquil study here, find this a very mount of -inspiration, a fit shrine for the vigil of knighthood. In the coming years Iyou will think of it as the sailor man I -upon the sea thinks of his home. "The life of a man is mainly a working out of the plans, a maturing of the tendencies of his youth. The life of a nation obeys the same law. In a nation like curs, beginning with a .lucid and ordered plan, its found ers schooled in the practice of free institutions, this is peculiarly true. No other nation ever had such a pe riod of preparation, such unhamper ed beginnings, such a clear field for (Continued on page three.) TEACHER wanted for Jalapa school.

"I have found no med icine equal to Cardui. I had suffered for about four years. Would have headache for a week at a time, until I would be nearly crazy. I took Car dui and now I never have the headache any more." The Wonian's Tordc The pains from which many women suffer every month are unnecessary. It's not safe to trust to strong drugs, right at the time of the pains. Better to take Cardul for a while, before and after, to strengthen the system and cure the cause.
