"It so often happens* even among college men, men and women bred in r classic halls, with all the inspiration j of a college life behind them, that men choose the path of least resistance, ?lect to do the thing that's easy. The paths of time are strewn with human wrecks, of souls who fell and ignom iniously failed, because they did not, in the solemn hour of their choosing, whip their powers up to high and honorable achievement. "You are looking out today, more i seriously perhaps than you ever look-! * ed before, upon a life career. You are ! asKing, more solemnly pernaps man f you ever asked before. "God, what wilt! thou have me to do? " One by one you j are conjuring up, out of the depths of j that dim future that stretches beforej your feet, the possibilities of now one and then another career or occupation. "This is what I want to say. God forbid that any one of you should self? lect a task for no other reason than . X* i.1 1.

THE LITERARY ADDRESS. I - - - - . .. . ? A Superb Fresentation oi ureal rractical Truths by Hon. Mendel L. Smith, of Camden. The annual address to the literary societies of Newberry college by the Hon. Mendel L. Smith, of Camden, on j Tuesday evening, was one of the most j eloquent and splendid addresses of the i kind ever heard here. He spoke of ' patriotism, its true nature and some | of its present-day responsibilities and | opportunities, and he presented great ! practical truths in a flow of oratory and of rhetoric which made the entire address a, superb effort. He was presented by Mr. E. H. Aull. It has been said that we naturally asociate the idea of patriotism with a state of war, he said. But the truest and noblest patriotism is developed in times of peace, and is uiunifestja heroic endeavor to prevent war and \ to promote the welfare of the State. I True patriotism does not consist in the spectacular forfeiture of life at the mouth of the cannon. It may or may not be so. "True patriotism," he said, "and this is the idea about which I am concerned in my effort before you this ' J- * i- - r.-icil I evening, is uie luiiumieui m a uuua i fide spirit of the contract on the part of the individual, when he steps from a state of nature, under the protection and guardianship of constituted society, whether it be in time of war or in time of peace." The condition of affairs today, he said, called for the very highest effort of the true patriot. True patriotism implied something to be done, and was not something merely to be talked about, applying the standard that by the works of a people they shall be be known. A false conception of the true relation of the citizen to the State had wrecked many governments in the past. Human society never failed to stand for right and good when it rec ognizea certain great runaamentai conditions, among them fostering the sanctity of the marriage relation, according to the home its proper status as the creative agency of good citizenship, the recognition of education in its comprehensive sense, involving the development of mind and heart in harmony, the protection of the exalted station of woman, and the recognition of God. Society had never suffered when it stood up on that foundation. No citizen, he said, was too humble toa take part in needed reformations. It was a question of sentiment building. The call of the day was to men of the highest type of loyalty, and when they responded the elevation of the corrfmunity followed through their example and influence. The speaker stressed- the idea that true patriotism j was against the mob spirit, whether j that spirit was manifest in the as- i similation of one nation by another, or | in an unlawful blow inflicted by one j citizen upon another. The policy of | migbt and force was foreign to it. THE BIG PARADE WAS FINE, SOYEL FEATURE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1). adopted by the big crowd with enthusiasm. Following the addresses, the stud ents continued the noise and the college yells, and songs. There was no incident to mar the pleasure of the event. It was a feature happy in its inception and carried out in fine spirit. i-11- 4 J 1 Dn/iA./I I (MISiauie .Auamr nctwiu. State Constable T. P. Adams enjoys a reputation of being one of the best officers on the force. He' made his record in Newberry, both as policeman and constable, and that record places him as a safe and reiiaoie 01ficial. The whiskey cases in general sessions courts standing to his credit, all pleading guilty and paying their fines are as follows: Sallie Kinner, $100; Ernest Lindsey, $100; Bill Gilder and Charley Henderson, $100 each; Glenn Sims, $25; Tom Tobe $50; Dave Johnson. $50: Sam Ren wick. $35. and one white case, Proctor, which is now in court. In addition to these Constable j Adams has to his credit fifteen cases j in mayor's courts, fourteen of which pleaded guilty and all fines paid, two of these cases being white, besides other cases in magistrates courts which amounted in fines paid to more than in the whiskey cases.
