FUND FOR NEWBERRY COLLEGE.
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.

Play" at Oberammergau, his lecturE
will be highly instructive as well ak
intensely interesting. It will be il

*. 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.)

The Editor of The Herald and News: b
We were under the impression that bi
every man and boy it town under- p
stood that a ladies' rest room should
be as private as their mother's in their h
own home, especially as this room :s
the gift of those in authority to the d
women and the children of the county
and city. t(
The county board of commissioners,
the city council and the gentlemen of C
the board of water works, the mer- n
chants of our city and the citizens b
generally have generously contributed f
to make this a cheerful, comfortabl f
place of rest for tired mothers when p
in town with infants and little chil- e
dren. 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

On September 12, 1911, the death
angel entered our home and snatched )
from us our grandfather. This world
is bright, glad, beautiful, tuneful with
thd ongsof birds, resplendent with F
the glories of earth and sea and sky, h
and yet all its attractions are all un-l.e
noticed when grim, merciless death f<f
appears and snatches from us our a
loved ones. The sweet consolation a
that vouchsafed us is the sweet rea- b
lization of the fact that he is at peace s:
-is now in that land "where the T~
weary are at rest." The worn frame c
will never more be racked with the o
agonies of pain. Suffering is at an a
end, and it "will only be a little while d
until we will all cross the dark river y
and join our loved ones among the it
host saved on the other shore." o
Dearest grand father, thou hast left
And our loss we deeply feel.
.But 'tis, God that has bereft us, G
He can al.l our sorrows heal. e
Yet again we hope to meet thee, Ie
When the days of life are fied, tl
When in Heaven with joys to greet1 ti
thee,e
-Where no farewell tears are shed, s
Not nlow, but in the coming years,
It may be in the better land, t
W&'ll r.ead the meaning of our tears, t

"Give any man 'tali a chance and tc
he'll say something he will regretl N
later." 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

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

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

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
