Lee, superintendent and general manager ot the Southern Power company, had also expected to - > i . "L ~ be piesent, uut rouiia mat u wouiu ut; impossible for him to attend. President Kiuard said he had hoped Mr. Lee could come so that Newberry could build the iaterurban on down from Greenwood while Mr. Lee was in Newberry. He said Newberry was handicapped by lack of proper railway facilities, and that the interurban was one of the most important things for dewberry to work for. Jtie react a Jtelegram from Mr. Lee wishing for the chamber of commerce a happy i>ajiquet, and expressing his regret tiiat he had found at the last moment that he could not be present. "I wish to assure you," said Mr. Lee in his telegram, "that if there is anything that I or my company can do looking to the upbuilding of your community, we shall be glad to participate in same." Mr. Lee asked that his name be enrolled as a member of the chamber of commerce. :^1 i I UA?.r u . x ivsiucui u, ucuij iiaimsi President Kinard introduced President J. Henry Harms, of Newberry college, who spoke of the progress along educational lines, and of Newberry college, in particular, as an asset to the community. He said this was a matchless ~ge fiom the point of view of material, intellectual and moral progress. It was an unusual time of prosperity, lie said. Not only the State, but the church and all institutions that make for the betteiment of men and women "were being prospered, Providentially, he thought, but certainly wonderfully prospered. The age was becoming more and more an age of brain, and an age of moral advancement. He spoke of the fine interest everywhere manifest in education, and said, when passing in review the many proud possessions of Newberry, there should never come a time when the people should jiot look with pride upon Newberry college. He spoke of the college as an asset of the com munity, and as an investment, showing how the property had increased in value from some $20,000 to more than $100,000, with an endowment now of about $92,000, the proceeds of which were nearly all spent in Newberry, and with the prospect of soon adding $75,000 more to this endowment. This addition to the endowment, however, lie said, depended now largely, almost -entirely, upon the people of Newberry, j But to speak of the money value of; the college was to speak only from the! sordid view-point. Far beyond any | pecuniary profit was the fine spiritual,, cultural, educational tone that the institution brought. Dr. Harms made a forcible presentation of the value of the college to Newberry. I f rrot. Jt. l. Hugnes. "Prof. E. L. Hughes, superintendent of the Greenville city schools, had as his subject, "Education, Its Great; Strides and New Forms." Prof, j Hughes delivered a scholarly address, j suggesting ways for the betterment of educational conditions in South Care- i lina. He said there had been progress, j and progress against great odds, but, one of the prices we pay for progress j is that when it is made we see beyond ! much more to be done. Georgia on the west and Tennessee and North ^Caroline on the north had better cohnols than South Carolina. Tn sns*- ! gesting methods for the betterment of: the schools he took up first the school' plant, urging size and plenty of j grounds, and stressing the importance of out-door training along with book-j training. He urged an improved train- j ing and co-ordination of the teaching j forces in South Carolina. The teach- i ers had never yec been trained to teach -the child to articulate what he learns -in school with what he sees outside. Knowledge of the mind unusued was like lumber in a lumber yard. Accord- j ing to the teachers all due honor, yet a better trained teaching force was i needed, and he believed it would be necessary for every town and city and j oonnty and the State to provide means j :for training teachers. He spoke of the :ad vantages of the normal schools, and i suggested methods for increasing their j number and efficiency. Another thing That was needed was expert supervision of the schools. He regretted the weto of the medical inspection bill, cit ing instances within his knowledge! "where it would have been of great | ^benefit. He believed the next legisla- j ture would enact such a bill into law, "but urged Newberry not to wait for iiiis, but to have every child examined j at the opening of the next sessioxi, if -Birch inspection was not put into effect before. He said that in order to bring about some of the needed reforms, i South Carolina needed a school sys- ; tem. South Carolina had no such thing. We have systems of schools and the State has a system of schools, but. the idea was a school system. The "?owns and cities were that much in i advance of the counties and State There were few Suites in the United > States which had risen to the dignity of a school system. But one nation had a school system, and that was Germany. He urged a system reachi ing from the highest to the lowest, including the State university and the lowest school, with the pathway oper miri flAar from nnp tn thp Other. ! In closing, he said there was sadlj needed a revival in spirtuality. He ! said the teaching that man has a sou: | was wrong. Man has no soul. Mar has a body, but has no soul?man is j a soul. A man can't lose his soul, be; cause the soul is not a possession When the soul is lost, all is lost. Mai terialism permeated the age, and hac ! takPn hold upon our education and even tainted our religion. There was rtpp^prl a revival in <:r>iritualitv. There was too much tendency to make the j school a purveyor of dollars. It was a fine thing to educate a man to be ! efficient, but it was a finer thing tc ' educate a man to be a man. We needed to have our education permeated ! with spirituality. He closes with a !fine peroration which was a plea for | this spirituality of which he spoke. | Dr. Geo. B. Cromer, who was to have I orvrtlrAn noCt QnH ^ 11111 T& I opvucii LT1 il t 7T l/Vi L J ^ Ull^ JLUWMA V| | was unabfe to be present. Dr. A. J. Bowers. i Dr. Andrew Jackson Bowers was I last upon the program, but with a ?ubI ject which was by no means least? and he treated it in a light and witty I vein, but his talk was interspersed with the serious, and with flashes ol eloquence and tributes of tenderness, His subject was woman, "a potent factor in the uplift of civic life, a minis! tering angel to the afflicted and distressed," and right well did he handle it?his subject, of course. He quoted from the great writers of the classics their beautiful tributes to women, but said these men were all bachelors? ' ' * -1 91 I tney must nave oeen, or tney wouiGn i have been paying such tributes to women. He made a great many local hits which brought forth rounds of laughter, and then the laughter was suddenly stilled as he paid a glowing tribute to women as ministering angels?tc ?he women who serve in the hospitals and wherever there is sorrow and need. As suddenly as he had become serious, his wit and humor broke forth again. He said that a lady had loaned him a book a few days ago, and he had read it with a great deal of interest, and it was a good book in some respects He was especially struck with one sentiment in the book, and he said if a newspaper man present would take it down and print it he would have the key-note of his speech. He stated the sentiment, and it was probably very beautiful and aoDropriate? it had something about approximate in it, but the newspaper man couldn't exactly catch whether it referred to the effect upon woman's suffrage of Amundsen's discovery of the South Pole, or to the fact that pretty spring styles usually tend to decrease interest in philosophical research. Replete with happy sayings, and well-told jokes, but with a delightful thread of reverence for womanhood running through it all, Dr. Bowers' ad dross was a fitting climax to the pleasure of the evening. Judge Thos. S. Sease was to have responded to a toast,/but was prevented by official duties from being present. Thanks to Ladies. On motion of Mr. Z. F. Wright a rising vote of thanks was extended the ladies of the A. R. P. church for the elegant supper which they had served.

Funeral Ship Xackay-Bennett Arrives at Halifax?Scores Committed to the Sea, Halifax, X. S., April 30.?The cable ship Mackay-Bennett, which came with 190 of the White Star liner Titanic's dead into Halifax today, first cast gloom over the city by her mere presence as a funeral ship, then sent a shock through those waiting here for bodies with the announcement of her commander that 57 of those reported by wireless as identified had of necessity been cast again into the sea. Yet none, not even the few here whose friends or relatives had thus been recommitted to the Atlantic, ex pressed any criticism of Capt. Lardner's action, believing him sincere in his explanation that lack of space on board, shortage of embalming materials and the multilation of bodies were solely responsible for his course. Rich With the Poor. That there was no favoritism shown in the reburial, in that the bodies of prominent persons were not kept aboard to the exclusion of the more humble, is indicated by the White Star line's announcement that among those bodies sunk again was that of George D. Widener, the Philadelphia capital . ist. Although this appears to be a L. mistake in that Mr. Widener's son, now ' here, believes from Capt. Lardn? a aei scription that the body was that 01 ? father's valet, the name Widener -; stands on the official list of reburied as issued by the White Star line late ; today. i ] The one great hope held out to the I bereaved tonight was the fact that ' i there are stretched in the rought pine JI coffins in the morgue 60 bodies for I which there were no claimants.

May be Identified. i The slight scrutiny of the- unidentii fied tonight led to what may mean the i identification of two of the victims. i One of those whose name was not j learned, said he recognized one of the bodies as that of J. F. P. Clark, assistant purser of the Titanic, while letters found on another body bore the ; name of Arthur White. The letters jhad been mailed from Newark, N. J. There are only five women's bodies among the unidentified. As one of them appears to be that of a Swedish woman and the other four those of Italians, there is little hope apparent| ly of recovering the body of Mrs. i I Straus. A baby girl of about two years lies i among the unclaimed and nameless. Of all the bodies picked up her's was the only one that the waves bore without aid of a life belt. Despite predictions to the contrary nearly all of the bodies bore indications that the victims had died swiftly j if not almost painlessly. In many cases ] their features were calm and with the exception of those who had been sei verely injured they were remarkably | free from the stamp of horror or suf fering. All were in a remarkable state of preservation. Samuel Wallace, who inspected part | of the unidentified today, said he had j but faint hope of finding the body of : his brother-in-law, Henry B. Harris, the theatrical man. Brave Hearts. Kansas City Star. : The wail of broken hearts is in the j land, and there are grief and pain in j every feeling heart.

Out of the gray waste of the sea, where the wrath of death rose fearfully, comes now the benediction to the race?''Women and children first; Nearer, My God to Thee."

An effort to THIRTY YEARS OF BACKACHE STOPPED Remarkable Experience of 3Ir. Barry | With >ew Treatment Will Surely Interest All Sufferers. j "To every sufferer from bachaches and kidney trouble," says Mr. Jno. W. i Barry, 336 Brandriff St., Fort Wayne, Indiana, "I want to tell that I was a j victim of backaches for 35 years and that like many of my fellow-sufferers, 11 tried hundreds of remedies without ! relief. I was so bad at times I could i not remov? my clothing. Some one I recommended Root Juice to me, just | as I am recommending it to you, and i after taking it as directed I found a 1 j speedy cure. I certainly do not hesitate to commend this great medicine to any victim of these complaints for i II know what it means to get relief." i The new Root Juice treatment pro| motes a fine appetite, makes digestion! 1 perfect so that pure nourishment en- j Iters the blood; it strengthens the kid-j neys and not only drives out rheuma-j tic poison, but stops its accumulation.j The results are surprisingly quick, j One week's treatment will make a different person of you. Many have said they would not take five hundred dollars for what the juice treatment has : done for them. The genuine Root Juice can be supplied by any good druggist, but the public is warned against tricky deal, ers who offer worthless or inferior imitations upon which they make more profit.

The ladies of Greenwood have done i j a good work in building and equipping a hospital for Greenwood and we are pleased to learn that the management of it has been quite successful in the | way of making expenses.

We are of the opinion that ! there is no division of sentiment upon this phase of the question, but the proposition that is a puzzle is whence ! is this maintenance to come. We shall venture to make a sugges-1 j tion. We believe that the city fathers i when they make up their budget for ' the year should include a sufficient \ ' amount to keep the hospital on its | feet.

In the days when calomel was the only liver remedy, a torpid liver, or a spell of biliousness was a serious thing. Calomel is a powerful mineral substance that compels the liver, no matter how weak it is, to doits work, but does nothing to strengthen the liver and a large dose?sometimes the usual dose?may cause salivation. Dodson's Liver-Tone is a builder that strangthens the liver while making it do its work.
