Last Sunday an attempt was made in the'qsermon to show the importance of dealing right 'gith our fellowmen as we come in touch with them in the business, social, and religious world. No doubt, some~ felt like saying: "How can we reach that high standard ?" Of tMn we hear peoole say: "I just can not be a good Christian in th*is sin ful world, there are too many bad pee nile that I have to dear wi.th. and must do like they do or fail." In the sermon en atternnt will be made to give some verv practical thoughts on the subject. One of the strongest illustrations in Scripture will be used. 5 p. ni.-Sunday school will meet.

SOUVIlit-V'S GOD).l ROADS TRAING 6ood Roads Club Orgaized-Lectures by Road Experts-THie Southern's Good Work. The Southern Rail ivay's good roads train was in Newberry Tursday morn ing for 1vral hours and about oi: hundred and twenty persous visited the train and listened to the lectures bv r.. I .. " ,Ccld, a :ca ' exl,. - ihe federal government; Mr. E. D. r'field r pres;:ntai ve of the Aierican association for highway 1i provement, and WNV. G. Hurlbut, of the lauad aiid industrial department of the Southern railway. The train carries three ecaches; one for eating and sleeping purposes, one for stereopticon lectures in which is shown various sections of road and the other for exhibits. Mr. Winslow, in his lecture, used the stereopicon and among other views lie had several he had taken in Newberry county. Mr. winslow has been in this section of the State a number of times and is famil iar with road conditions and material for building roads. The supervisor an%0 the county com missioners could not be present as they were engaged in a meeting of the commission to pass upon the~ good roads machinery. This work of the Southern railway is mighty fine missionary work and is educating the people along useful lines and it is unfortunate that moie of our citizens did not hear the lec tures and s-ee the exhibits. Ninety per cent. of jthe. products hauled by the Southeri railway are hauled over an average of nine iniles of road in order to reach the railroad and the average load is 900 pounds. The cost of bad roads amounts to millions of dollars each year. By im proving the road you can haul twice as much in one load and often as much as eight or ten times as much. This was illustrated in the lecture by a man hauling one bale of cotton on bad road and ten bales on a good read. If the cost of the team is $3.00 per day, you have an actual saving of $27.00 in one day's'hauling on'good roads. The lec turers explained that besides money, which, of course, is necessary to build roads, it takes, first, good judgment; second, good management, and third good engineering. The Ieetureirs paid a tribute to South Carolina as being the third cot ton producing State and beginning to grow large crops of corn, wheat, oats and tobacco, but they said as to roads, South Carolina was not keeping pace with her agricultural devgelopmaent. With automobiles, rural delivery of mail, telephones, eniurches and schools in the rural districts, good roads are sure to come. The lecturers urged that the only way to secure good roads is by the bond issue, anid a plain business-like, non-political maiking of good. roads with money from the pro eeds of the bonds. The y explainied that 50 per .cent. of the tax-paying property, or wealth, was owned by people -whos,do not use the roads at all, or' very little. That is to say by the railroads and towns, and the man facturing plants and commercial en terprises. It is but fair that the cities and railroads help pay this tax, for the country supports the town and railroads. As Mr Bryan said the 3ountry can live without the town or he railroads either, but wipe out the farms and these other enterprises] would soon die. Then with, at least, 0 per cent. of taxes to .be raised by sueezing these non-users of roads, it does look like the farmers could: see that it would be a good business proposition to bond the county for good roads. The train went from Newberry to Prosperity, where the lectures were repeated and where there was. an at endance of about 160 persons, in luding a good many ladies. As a result of the meeting at New berry a good roads improvement club va organized with the following of ficers for Newberry county: Dr. W. C. Brown, of No. 2 township, >resident. W. I. Herbert. of No. 8 township. vice president. Dr. Van Smith, treasurer. Frank P. De'vore. secretary. Ouito a number enrolled as delegates and it is hoped that many more will~ o o.

Session Begins Thursday of Next Week-Many Improvements. New Students. The nxt session at Newberry col lege will begin next Thursday morn ing at 8.45 o'clock. By that time all the old students will have reported for duty, -besides an unusually large n:mber of new on,s. The faculty will mc-t students who apply for examina 7ion For condition or entrance On Tuesr.a and Wcednesday of next werk. A larg number of last yn-ar's students iare I;pparinig to work off conditionz during these two days, and those who do not apply wittkeertificates from ac credited schools will take the exam inations for entrance. At the opening exercises Thursday morning the address to the students will be made by Hon. John D. Cappel mann, of Charleston, an ex-stadent of the college, having been connected with the institution when it was locat ed at Walhalia, S. C., in the seventies. It is expected that the ministers of the city and the board of trustees will be present and help to inau gurate the new session. By Friday morning the work of the session will be -in progress. The dormitories are being taxed to the uttmost to accommodate all the young men who are applying for ad mission., A number of them are ar ranging to lodge in private -homes in town. The number of studer.ts from abroad will be exceptionally large, while the local patronage from town and county will be as liberal as ever. No college is so well established in the affection and loyalty of the peo ple of its own community as New berry. Its best friends are the people who know it most intimately. Besides the students from the several Southern States always represented, such State I as Ohio and Maryland will be heard from in the enrolment this coming year. During the summer preparations have been made for the students in repairs and ovIerhauling .of the build ings. Smeltzer Hall has been greatly improved. A handsome program clock connecting the lecture rooms and buildings with clocks and signals for the periods of work, presented by a friend of the college, is being in stalled. Two changes have occurred in the faculty. Prof. C. W. Riser has been succeeded -as principal of the prepara tory department by Prof. Virgil B. Sease, who was for several years the popuar and efficient head of the Lit te Mountain high school. .Prof. John C. Goggans, of the technological de partment, will be succeeded by Prof. Frank W. Chapman. Prof. Chapman, after graduating with first rank at Clemson was, until called to the ;coT lege, connected with the General Electric company in its shops at, Schenectady, N. Y., where he held a responsible position. Both the new professors are graduates of Newberry college. NO COURT NEXT WEEK. Bar Holds Meeting and Passes Reso. lutions,Tury Requested Not to Come,Judge Notified-. At a meeting of the Newberry/Bar r sciation on Monday eve'ning it was decided that the court of common pleas regularly appointed for next week be called off, and resolutions to. that effect were adopted and Judge (age was notified. The clerk of courts gives notice to jurors that their ser den's will not be needed. It is fortunate that the state of liti ation in this county is such that no ourt is desired. At this season the farmers are particularly busy harvest in their crop and the merchants are busy endeavoring to sell their goods. Marriage License. September 13.
