President Harms is Making Effort to Raise Fifty Thousand Dollars to Meet Carnegie's Offer. News and Courier. The Rev. J. H. Harms, D. D., presi dent of Newberry college, preached yesterday morning at St. Andrew's Lutheran church. His subject was "Christian Education." Just at pres ent Dr. Harms is worng under au thority of the Synod of South Caro lina to raise $50,000 to meet an offer made by Mr. Andrew Carnegie of $25, 000 for Newberry college, and his ser mon, which was heard by many yes terday, will no doubt prove a powerful factor in influencing the friends of the institution in Charleston to make large subscriptions to the fund. It is expected that this additional sum of $75,000 will be added to the endow ment of the college within the year. Several thousand dollars are already in hand. The college has loyal friends in Charleston, and it is expected that before Dr. Harms leaves, which will be about the middle of the week, hE will have added several thorsand dollars to the fund.

It will be il lustrated by views taken of the greal religious play as seen in the Old World. *. WHAT IS ACIDOSIS! Editor Herald and News: I have al ways made it a rule when reading and coming across a wo)rd tha'. I do not know its meaning, to look it up, and after exhausting all the dictionarief at hand, to then not conceal my ignor ance any longer, but frankly admil that I am beaten and ask for help hence the following: I see from your last issue the fob lowing report: "Greenwood, S. C., Nov. 15.-Joseph Travis Simmons, one of Greenwood's ~most prominent citizens, died lasi night at 8 o'clock in the German hos pital in Philadelphia, of acidosis." Will you Kindly inform the write] what is acidosis, and then it followed an operation, too. Surely anothei new disease is not about to be foisted upon a tong suffering public? If there is anything this scribe likes better than light, it is more light. Sincerely yours, - 'Nonplussibus Ulnem.' (The editor of The Herald anc News is not a physician, but has ac cess to a good literary as well as medical library. We find that the word "acidosis" means "increased acidity; rather decreased alkalinity o: the blood." It must have been somE kind of stomach trouble, but just the nature of the operation we can not ex plain to our friend. Now acidity means "the quality of being sour." We sup -pose you know the meaning of alkali and alkalinity. If not Webster de fines the mat length. One of the ex amples, we might say for the b.Aefit of our correspondPit, of as ide1: is "diabetic coma."-Ed1.tr.) *I * ** * * * * ** *** ** * * Acknowledgem!ents of Contribu *tions' to .the isest Room.

For this reason the intrusion c of rude men and bad boys into the c entrance, corridor and portico of the c rest room is insulting, annoying and c unnecessary as eacm ofice in the court g house has its own entrance and cor- y ridor. For the information of the ig- p norant, we will state that the entrance E to the magistrate's and coroner's office a is in Boyce street, law range, the en- a trance to the insurance and real estate office fronts on public square, and the ladies' rest room entrance is p in Main street. Portico and corridor set apart for their special use and benefit, hence the blocking ot tne doorway by wagons or animals is C detrimental to children and the aged -and police surveillance is respectfully p requested for their protection. u Manager.

It is scarcely necessary to hC give the half chance. We are all the In time saying something that weregret ci later. We are warned in the good cc book to be very careful about our 1C words, and that we will be judged by them. Yet we go on saying things all the time that we shoul,- not say, and that sooner or later we will wish had d not been said. We forget that a word fc once Dut in motion can not be recall- P ed. I have noticed that there are some m people who seem to take a delight in T saying unkind things about others P when there is really no occasion to g say them. And really it would be il easier and better to say kind things. c A kind word costs very little, and a there is no calculating the amount of a good it may do. 0-T I have had the "blues" for several i days, and I am almost afraid to write for fear I may say something some g one will construe as unkind, but lil am going to try mighty hard to avoid t It( anything of the kind. I found theV other day a book mark in an old Bible, which was the property of a most ex cellent woman, and this book mark! had on it "What to Read," and in the C ist is the following: "If you have the 'blues,' read the twenty-seventh Psalm." I read it. "The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of I my life; of whom shall I be afraid." The second thing on this book mark is: "If your pocket book. is empty, read the thirty-seventh Psalm." "Fret i not thyself because of evil doers, neither be thou envious against the b workers of iniquity. "For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. I "Trust in the Lord and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and ver ily thou shalt be fed.'" Of course, I have only given you It one or two sentences from these two I Psalms, but it will do you good to to read them through. The Bible is a 'I wonderful book. c -0--8 I have been a very close observer o of men for many years, and I tell- you i: that you can find nowhere a more s true portrayal of life than in this t great Book. And if men would live just a little nearer to what it teaches, a this would be a pretty good old worldt after all. We would not need such a e big "blue" book of ordinances of the' d town, and then the one we did have b would not be so frequently disergard- t d. Men would be happier in this, f, world, and better prepared 4or that transition to that brighter and bettert world which we are told is prepared t for those who fit themselves while here to enjoy it.s I see that Mr. and Mrs. J. D. S- a Livingston have giv-en to a set of h trustees a half acre of land some- 1a where down near the railroad for at park, and that it is to be called Vir- e ginia, and that the trustees have se- s cured an option on another piece of c land adjoining. I don't know exactly t where this land i.s, but I hope it will stimulate some others to get active and build a real park here in1 Newber- v ry. I have almost lost hope. I hate c to say it, but there is something wrong Ii with the old town. I wish I knewI where it is, for then I would try to ti apply the remedy. I have been here a a long time, and I do not believe that tl it would have taken as hard work t1 2 years ago to have started a park jc as it does now. WVe are all too busy j getting rich, I reckon, and yet I do not see the income tax list increasing vary d rapidly. True, it has onIe or f wo, h names that weY not there. last year, pt but some that were there are off, end lz those that are there do not seem to e: be very active in 1,ml'e spirit. EMa u be that is the way the'y go: thierx e Well. 1 want to say to them that the. e will not b)e ab!e T > carry any~~ moe-d vi:h them when they com to pass a, ver ltha I 'y'i. If "ne ony'" m ')wn with a thouisand for the I:ik ih hy would bles~ not only the V . ..et, genrtiOn. hut their mite C ng after they were gone. I judge ey don't see it that way, and I have t persuasi-r powers sufficient to invince them. And I am not going try. As I have frequently said, if ewberry ever gets a park it will Lve to be, and must be, built by the en and women who have not suffi ent inctm. to be liable to the in >me tax, and theit let those poor fel ws who pay income tax eijoy it. -0 I read the other day an article on iruinea Pigs as Lawn Mowers." I ,sire to have it sent to Mayor Lang rd, and his city council. It might rove more beneficial and more econo ical than the goats or the' geese. hen we could keep Mr. Wicker on zrmanent work and maybe we could At some streets. I will give you the rst paragraph: "A curious, but suc ssful experiment is being made on number of private lawns In Kent, ad is about fo be tried by a golf club i the neighborhood of Greenhithe. he idea is the noval one of substitu, ng the guinea pig for the inowin tachine and the weed killer." if the ainea pig could fill the place of the Lwn mower, of course it could take ie place of the grass and weed, cut r on the street-, and I think it is 'orth Mayor Langford's while to look to the matter and find out where the igs may be had and what they will 3t. Of course, I presume they would ye on the grass and weeds and ieir up-keep woula cost nothing. ith a saving such as could be had i this way that street paving that he as going to commence would not ave to wait any longer. What say ou, Mayor Langford? We are going ) elect you without opposition and return we expect you to raise some ing in this town besides grass and reeds and b'ad streets. See? Get usy. The Idler. HOLDING MAY FORCE PRICE UP. ampaign of Cotton Farmers Gives Much Concern. New Orleans, Nov. 19.-This week ie cotton market will again struggle rith market reports, and it is hard to ll now how they will affect prices. 'uesday0. morning, at 9 o'clock, the ensus bureau will issue a report on in'ning up to the close of business n November 13, and Saturday morn ig it will give out a report onth upply and distribution of cotton u ) November 1. The report on ginning has caused great deal of guess work, but the ade is undoubtedly looking for rath r bullish figures. There was a ten ency to predict figures of 12,000,000 ales, but the average expectation at - e end of the week appeared to be >r about 11,500,000 bals. It is claimed that the weather in refer ditw the handling of cotton 1s last period, although many peo le contend that enough cotton was tored in the seed to keep the gins unning full blast. It is not improb ble that the holding movement has ad something to do with keeping the mount of cotton ginned down. Many ~legrams were received .from differ at parts of the belt during the week, ating that farmers was holding seed ctton as well as baled cotton. In 1s way the crop is picked, but the ield is not counted. One reason for holding cotton this ray is the prevalent belief that it in reases the percentage of the yield of nt at the expense of th seed.. The report on supply and distribu on is not likely to cause much stir, Ithough once in a great while one of iese reports dces contain something iat sets the market by the ears. The ances are, however, that it will have ttle effect one way or the other. The holding moviement and the spot mand will be watched closely. The lding movement Is having more ef ct on the market than most people agine, and if it grows much strong it can hardly help putting prices~ p. It may be that a demanrd to filL id of the month shipments of ac:ual >tton will develop this week. If it es, the advantage will be with the a o:tmi-r co!<ier .-:vry day, but 'ickershanm gets hotter.-News and
