The text is Gal. 6:7: "Be not deceived; God is note mocked: for whatsoever a man sow eth that shall he also reap." Ever since Eve said: "The serpent beguile.d me," there nave been much trickery and deception in the world. All kinds of schemes and devices are invented to dceve Men and wo men even deceive themselves, but we may be sure God is not deceiv'ed. His laws are immutable, they never change. Some important and practi cal thoughbts concerning conditions as they are around and about us will, be presented.

Nita. * * I S I S I * * S S COLLEGE NOTES. * * . . * . * * * * * S Contestants in the preliminary con test for the selection of a speaker to represent Newberry college in the an nual inter-collegiate oratorical contest at Greenwood have been elected by the two literary societies. From the Excelsior: Messrs. Kieff er, Folk and Gunter were elected, and from the Phrenakosmian: Messrs. Smeltzer, Ballentine and Petrea. A good contest is thus assured for every one of the contestants is a speaker of proven mettle. The student body enjoyed very much on Tuesday morning short addresses from two stolid friends of Newberry I college, Rev. Dr. Michael M. Kinard, of Salisbury, N. C., and his brother, Rev. Dr. James D. Kinard, of New berry. These friends are always wel come at Newberry college. During the interlude between the opening of college and the beginning of the "great American game" in the college life, basketball, takes the "top notch" in athletic life. The present prospects point to a very "fast-fire" to represent Newberry in conflict with the other colleges of North Carolina and South Carolina. Many new play ers, with good past records, have shown up and will make the old mem bers of the last year's fire, all of whom have returned, do some hard work if they would keep their positions on the 'varsity. On the 20th of the current month class games will begin. These will continue for about four or five weeks, when the 'varsity will be chos en and the college schedule begun. Another college sport now in full swing is tennis. The courts-4re kept busy with young men practicing hard to get the beat players to represent our college in the coming intercolleg iate contest to be held at Spartanburg. Smeltzer, Wise and Wise, last year champions, are being hard pushed for their positions by the new comers. Dr. Harms spent Wednesday in Co lumbia, attending the opening of the Lutheran Theological seminary. Valuable Old Court House. As to rest room in the old court house: I am a member of the board, and I did not favor the movement be cause I did. not think it the proper thing to do. The old court house be longs to the people of the county as much as the business men of the town and I think that there are but very few people, if any, of the country that want a rest room. In other words, I don't think it will. have a visitor from the country. Here is my proposition to the people: Let the petition go to the legislature to put. it in shape for. sale and then if the' town wants to buy it, very 'well. The money that is1 paid for it can be applied to repair the jail and the balance on the debt of the new court house. Respectfully, L. C. Livingston, County Commissioner. Laymen's M[ovement.
