There is a great deal of interest being taken in athletics here now. The tennis courts are always full and plenty of others waiting for a chance to play. From the looks of things now, we have a fine chance to win the championship this year from the oth er colleges of the State. The base ball outlook is even better for when a call was issued for the boys to come out between 30 and 40 of them re >n)ced pr>mptly, showing some of the best material that has been here in a number of years. A game was arranged with the town after a couple of days pracetice and though the town had a team composed almost entire ly of the college's old stars, the col lege defeated them by a score of four to two. Although the boys are interested in athletics they are not forgetful of the other side of life but are putting in plenty of time studying and looking after the Y. M. C. A. Some ten or fif teen Gf the boys are making arrange ments to go to the Bible Student Con ference of the Student Y. M. C. A., of South Carolina, which is to be held at the University of South Carolina Oc tober 14-16, 1910.

Nearly One Thousand Enrolled.-Ev erything MoTing Smoothly and In Good Shape. The city schools having been in operation for two weeks, with the ex ception of the high school which open ed last Monday morning, conditions have become sufficiently normal that it is possible to speak with compara tive accuracy relative to things of more or less interest to the patrons of the schools. Up to the present time nine hundred pupils have been enrolled including both whites and negroes. Boundary Street school has 230; Pope school 142; West End 123; Hoge school 327; and the High school 78. An unusual ly large number of out of town pupils have reported for enrolment. The graded school buildings have been renovated from top to bottom; all the unnecessary furniture (worn out) has been stored away in the stor age rooms of the respective buildings, so that the halls and wardrobes pre sent a fresh and clean appearance. The high school pupils are housed in the beautiful high school bhilding. The interior arrangement of this building as well as its outside ap pearance has attracted wide attention from able school men of the State. All the schools are open for inspec tion at any and all times; and visi tors are not only invited to come to the schools and inspect every phase of the work that is being done, but we shall feel disappointed if this much interest is not manifested on the part of the school patrons. The superintendent will have only one office hour during the day and this will be from 12.30 to 1.30 in the office of the high school. THE PHILATHEA CLASS Of O'Neall Street Methodist Church.

We had only eighteen members when we organized, average attendance fourteen, but wa have thirty-one on the roll now, and an average attendance of twenty-five. We have been doing some charity work in our town, but were not satis fied with that. We wanted to help the poor heathens who didn't know any thing about ~Jesus. So we decided to have a missionary exercise and take a collection for missions. Three girls were appointed to arrange the pro gram. They went to work, got every thing ready and had an interesting exercise. The church was decorated in white and blue crepe paper, ferns and cut -flowers. We had our motto. "We do things," over the pulpit. At 7.30 the church was full, the door was opened and our teacher walked in with twenty-nine girls following. We marched to the front and began to sing that beautiful song, "Onward Christian Soldiers." All the girls are interested praying that it will be the cause of saving some poor heathen girls, who have never heard of Jesus Christ their Savior. The Program. Song-"Onward Christian Soldiers."

D. Kinard, at the residence of the bride's parents at Helena. It was a quiet home wedding. The bride is the attractive daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Long and has a very large number of friends, due to her amiable- and friendly disposi tion. The groom has recently come to Newberry from Georgia, in the insurance business, and by his agree able manners and good conduct has made many friends during his brief residence in the city. The happy bride and groom are receiving the congratulations and well wishes of their hosts of friends. Mr. and Mrs. Spinks will, with Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur E. Long, (Mr. Long being a brother of the bride,) occupy the new house, now nearly completed, at the corner of Johnstone and Wil son streets. The moving there of these two families will be welcomed by the residents of that locality. The Herald and News welcomes Mr. and Mrs. Spinks to the life of Newberry. For Day of Prayer. Believing that the prayer meeting is an important and vital service in our churches, coming as it does in the middle of the week when our spir-' itual life needs uplifting, we, the un dersigned pastors do ea'rnestly re quest the people of our respective congregations to spend the day (Wednesday of every week) as far as possible in prayer and meditation, and to eliminate as far as possible all social functions and other things that tend to distract from attendance upon the regular mid-week prayer service.

The largest and strongest lyceum course Newberry has had for a num ber of years will be given this season. The course consists of seven attrac tions-three concert companies, three lecturers and one entertaining com pany-all coming to us very highly recommended. The first attraction is Dr. Byron W. King, November 1, 1910. Dr. King is president of the Kings school of ora tory, Pittsburg, Pa. This is the larg est school of its kind in America. Dr. King is at the very top, and it is said that he has no equal in his prcfession on the platform. His text book, "Practice of Speech," is used in every nation of the world. Among his pu pils were the late President McKin ley and Hon. John J. Ingalls. We are very fortunate in securing Dr. King. We will have with us again the Ly ric Glee club. This attraction was on our course last year, and it made such a great hit that many persons requested its return. The Winifred Townsend Concert company will be with us this year. Their program will consist of vocal duet; violin solos; baritone dolos; and soprano solos; violin cello and piano trios; readings, sketches, etc. These people pursued their musical training abroad under some of the best musicians, and they are highly praised by their teachers. Dr. Henry Clark, the English ora tor and lecturer, is one of our num bers. "The Clark Lectures" have won a place in England and they come to this country with an "absolute guar antee." Dr. Clark has been in Amer ica but six years, and during this time he has lectured on 1200 lyceum and chautanqua courses. He is known as "Play Ball Clark" because of his famous lecture, "Play Ball." The Eureka Glee club in addition to their songs, will present "The Chimes," a splendid novelty. These men have been singing and playing together for the past 11 years. This is a fine musical attraction. Dr. W. T. S. Culp, a popular lec turer of Cleveland, will probably lec ture on "Uncrowned Kings." "The Coxes" compose an intertain ing company. Cartoons, caricatures, chalk paintings, readings, sketches, musical novelties, etc., will be given. This is a .splendid course and we are to be congratulated upon having attractions of such a high standard. Although a a have enlarged and strengthened . our course over former years the price of the season tickets remain the same. That is $3.50 for double ticket, admitting two; $2.00 for single ticket, admitting one. Single admission 50 cents to $1. Tickets are now on sale. Miiss Ethel Hobbs President. Miss Ethel Hobbs was South dur ing the summer with her father, Col. John F. Hobbs. His friends and her friends will be pleased to know that Miss Hobbs has been elected presi de-it of her class. Although she was not a candidate and was in anothe~r part <f the college on* an im'portant missicn for the superintendent, when the election was held she was put in rominxation and received five more votes than the aggregate nst for the five ot her candidates for this houor. Miss Ethel, though only 13 years old this month, attends the Normal col lege of New York city, and finished the last school year at the head of her class. She is a bright girl, loves the South and would like to have her father and mother come here to live. Church of the Redeemer. (Rev. Edw. Fulenwider, Pastor).
