A matter of much interest to the students was a petition on their part to be* allowed to play football with other colleges. It was signed by all the students, and endorsed by the Taculty. A year ago such a petition would have been hopeless, but in view of the great revision in the rules of the game almost all of the danger conneted with the game as formerly played has been eliminated, while the good features have been retained. Definite action on the petition has -been postponed until the meeting in June. In connection with this subject a company was appointed to report at the next meeting on i.he eMiploying of a gymnasium director for the college. Want College Completely Coeduca tional.

Dr. Miller. who delivered the Foun ders' day address, is one of the most scholarly metn of the Lutheran church of the South, and his address on Fri day evening was a most excellent and eloquent tribute to the founders of the college. He said that they should be our ideals of great men because they fulfilled the four requirements men of great ability, men working with a great unselfishness, men work ing for great aims and men working with great result. He said that Er. John Bachman, one of the founders of Newberry college, and for many years a pastor of the Lutheran church of Charleston, was preeminently such a man. Dir. Bachman believed in Chris tion education, and carrying out that belief aient his efforts and energies to the founding of a Christian college. He also referred to Dr. D. K. Pear sons as fulfilling the ideals of true greatness-"great abdlity used wi2.h great unselfishness, in pursuance of great aims, bringing to pass great results."

South Carolinians Enthusiastically Received at Big Corn Exposition In Columbus. Mr. John B. Mayies returned to Newberry yesterday morning from Columbus, Ohio, whither be went as the representative of the Newberry chamber of commerce in the South Carolina delegation to urge the claims of this State for the next National Corn expceition, held this year in Colmnbus. The South Carolina party numbered twenty, traveling in a special car, which left Columbia on the "Carolina Special" on Wednesday afternoon reaching Columbus on Thursday af ternoon, and leaving Columbus Sat urday afternoon on the homeward trip, arriving in Columbia Saturday afternoon. President A. D. Hudson, of the South Atlantic States Corn ex position, and Mr. Smith, of the gov ernment demonstration department, had preceded the party to Coblumbus. Mr. Mayes speaks in gowing terms of th, big corn show, and of the cor dial and enthusiastic recePtion which was given the South Carolina party all along the trip and in Columbus. The South Carolinians were accom Wanied by Jerry Moore, the boy who leaiped into national fame last. year as the champion corn grower of the world, and Jerry was the centre of attraction of the South Carolina par ty, and the South Carolina party was the centre of attration at the corn show. The delegaition went before Presi dent Funk and the committee urging that the next sihow be held in Colum bia. Minnesota had a strong delega tion which came for the show. The exposition is of such dimensions that the fair gounds in Columbia would not be large enough to hold it, but the deliegation promised that adequate grounds would be provided. A com mittee will 'be sent to Columbia to investigate, and before the committee comes the legislature or the city of Columbia, working with the other cities of the State, will have to >take action conditioned upon the accep tance of South Carolina's invitation. The coming of this big show to South Oarolina would be of untold value to the State, and the delegation which 'wnt ito Col'umbus is much en couraged over South Oaroliina's chances. There could be no doubt, said Mr. Miayes, that the great crowd was in sympathy with this State. South Carolina badiges, which were the hiandsomest on the grounds, were in demand, and very few of the dele gation were able to Ibrinbg their own badges home with them. The delegation bad their picture taken with Governor Harmon, and then Governor Harmon had his pic ture taken with Jerry Moore. He said he took great pleasure in meeting Jierry-a boy who di:d something. All along the route going to Co 'umbus the news of the coming of South Carolina's party had been re ceived, and the oar was besieged with newspa.per reporters and photograph ers. In 'the South Carolina car was Mr. Hayes, of North Carolina, a son of President Hayes, who was sin enthus iastic exponent of the advantages which South Carolina had to offer the exposition. Mr. M. V. Richards, land and industrial agent of the Southern railway, and Mr. TPhackston, also of the Southern, went with the South Carolinians before the committee, in support of this State. Mr. Mayes says that no words can adequately describe the proportions and the excellence of the big show in Columbus, WAhetner or' not South Carolina gets the ne.v't show, the trip of the Suoth Carolina delegation to Columbus will be worth to this State many times what is cost. Fin'e Cdlts. Mr. T. M. Smith was s;howing his friends in Newberry yesterday twen ty-one colts, being part of the forty one head of stock he bought on a re cent trip to Kentucky. The colts are about eighteen ngonths of age, and are about as fine specimens as are ever seen here. Some of them, even at this early age, are about fifteen and one half hands high, and wil.l make big fine mules. They made a pretty sight in the pen. Mr. Smith also had a fine young saddle mare less than thre yar old which he brought bac: Intense Excite The Clos4 King of Kontests Komes i Whirlwind Finish Exp fers Right Now-* Beautitul R As ithie time draws near for The Heald and News great subscription i and voting campmign to close the en thusiasm of the candidates is greatly 4 increased, and intense excitement pre vaids.

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY NOW ON HOME STRETCH LEGISLATURE EXPECTED TO AD JOURN ON FEBRUARY 15. [louse Has Made a Record on the Ap propriation Bil-Partial Review of the Session. Columbia, Feb. 6.-The legislature is not in session today, both houses laving adjourned Saturday until ruesday at noon to allow the mem >ers to spend February salesday at :heir homes. Four weeks of the session are gonie, Ld the legislature is now on the bome stretch. Indications now are tat final adjournment may be reach Ad on Februairy 15. The general iassembly is progress ng finely with its work. There has iot been the slightest jar in the even enor of the lbody. All 'has been eaceful and contlebtmeht. There have >een no ugly contests, no bitter feel ng, no unecessary fighting, but on he contrary all has gone along like t May morn. Marriage License Law. Th'e most interesting measure that Arill find its way on the statute books Is -result of the week's work will be he marriage license statute. Under :he terms of ,the sot all parties wish ng to marry after July 1 must secure L marriage license. At the outset the ?enalty is to be imposed on the >reacher or magistrate who performs ;he ceremony without the license hav ng first been abtained. After awhile, and when the law has )een working for a while, the penalty nay be attached. to the husband who i4glects to secure the license, but it vas thought best to make a start. Compulsory Education and Liquor. Strange as it may seem there has .ot been suggested during .the present session a bill looking towards com ;ulsory education, nor one looking to state-wide prohibition, or in fact any naterial change in the liquor ques on. Both of these issues, that i-n revious years have been the topic for ong and spirited discussions, have >een entirely and absolutely over ooked and no single proposition look ng to a 'material change has been 3roposed, unless it be the Fultz meas ire on the liquor quiestion, which does lot propose direct l-egislation, bat -ather a referendum. The fact of ~the matter is that the bpensar'yhasan otibeenmentioned, ex sept in the Stev'enson 'bill, which ;eeks to, provide a p-lan for 'the distri >ution of the salvage from the old dis >ensary system and the general desire s to have the fund expended and to be u.re that. there is not another year's lelay in getting the money dis'tribut x. The Tax Question. There does not appear to be any lisposition to seriously undertake a revision of the tax system of the state. All apparently admit that the tppraisemnnts are out of whack, but here is evidently no mature effort to 'emedy what is <recognized as a se 'ious evil. On the senate side there s 'a bill to provide a tax com.mission hat will not pass. On the house side here is no general proposition. Gen. James has a bilH pending hich seeks to place the bank assess nents under the charge of the State >oard of .equalization and take these natters out of the 'hands of the county yoards, sas is the present law. There s another more extreme bill, which eeks to have the attorney general Lttack the charters of banks that are uppose.d to 'have been underassessed. Tread Lightly, Its Asleep. T'he indications a week ago were hat the educational bill, proposed by he special commission, would be en cted. The outlook now is that it is eing chloroformed. In 'legislation here are many ways o.f killing a neasure without havin.g a knockdown nd drag out fight, and the outlook is :hat the commission bill is going to rest quietly on the calendar of both he house and senate without any for nal action one way or a,nother. Appropriation Bill. The house has made a record on bie general appropriation bill. This d important measure is now in the ands of the senate, having received :ts final house reading yesterday, ten lays prior to the date generally igreed upon for final adjournment. mConm i em on ag' t wo.
