Annual Literary Contest at Newberry
College Results in Debating Yic- |
tory for Tliem.
The annual celebration of the literary
societies of Newberry college was
held Friday night in the opera house
in the presence of a very large audionpp
r, M. Wilson nresided, and the
invocation was made by R-ev. Edw.
Fulenwider. Orations \w\ri delivered
by R. K. Wise on "The Press in Politics,"
and k. M. Counts on "The
World's Unrest." Miss Sudie Dennis,
co-ed and member of the Philomathian
society, read an essay on "Our Con
stunt Friends"?meaning books.
The feature of the evening was the
debate on the question whether the
right of suffrage should be extended
to women in the United States. The
affirmative was maintained by J. B.
Ballentine and F. H. Ballentine, of the
rnrenaKOsmian society, aiiu iue ucga?
tive.by J. A. Shealy and W. A. Reiser,
of the Excelsio- society. The discussion
showed careful study of the subject
and was enthusiastic, occasionally
drawing applause from the audience,
which was manifestly in sym
pathy with the negative side of the
question. The Judges argued the
question upon the debate, wi*,out xcgard
to their own opinions, in favor
of the negative. The entire evening's
exercises reflected great credit on the
college and the societies and on the
young people taking part.
Gymnasium Exhibition.
As predicted the exercises held in
the college gymnasium last Friday af-,
ternoon were a gratifying success, especially
so since this was our first meet
Despite the inclemency of the weather
a large attedance braved the ele
ments, and furnished the proper inspiration
for the contestants.
As a result of this meet we find
there is a wealth of material along
gymnastic lines in college and there
is every reason to expect wonderful
development for the next one.

invitation of the city of Aiken to
meet together and hold our annual
reunion for 1912 as her guests 011
Wednesday and Thursday, April 23
and 24 next.
"This enterprising and beautiful little
city, your commander's Wome
town, realizing that the Confederate
Veterans of South Carolina were not
honored with an invitation to nie^-t
anywhere in the State for a reunion
last year, has come nobly forward and
to amend for the past has openec her
gates to us and assures us a most en!
jo>aDle time.
"Second, It is well to remind me
camps that have not paid their per
capita assessments that it is expedient
for them to do so before the time of
the reunion, for camps in arrears will
be debared from voting at either the
State or general reunion.
"Third. The general reunion of the
IT. C. V. federation will be held this
year at Chattanooga, Tenn., May 27,
t 28, 29, and it is to be hoped tnat an
comrades may be able to attend.
"4. The sponsor for the division the ;
year 1913 is Miss Sarah Hammet of
Blackville. Her maids of honor are:
Misses Sallie Ellerbe, Bennettsville,!
and Norma Cato, Ridge Spring, and
her matron of honor, Mrs. L. F. Bon
ner, Blackville.
[ "Fifth. It is with grief that your
j commander announces that death has
deprived the second brigade of its
commander, the high minded, brave
and conscientious Gen. Frank H. i
Creech of Barnwell, the Hampton j
regiment of its superior officer, the
gifted and gallant Col. James W.
Moore of Hampton, and the division
staff of one of its members, the in-.
trepid Maj. N. Ingram Hasell of
Charleston. Verily we mourn for these !
dear comrades and our sympathetic
condolence goes out to their kindred.
May their noble souls rest in peace.
"Sixth, Col. 0. A. Reed of Anderson, i
the senior officer, has been ordered to j
the command of the second brigade1
until the brigade general officer is j
elected:
"Seventh. The railroads are ex-1
pected to favor us as usual with reduced
rates to both State and general
reunions.
"All inquiries as to lodgings, etc.,
at the State reunion should be ad-*
dressed to Maj. Herbert E. Gyles, j

County Supervisor and County Superintendent

Offices.
The court of general sessions convened
at Newberry on Monday morning
with Judge Geo. E. Prince presiding.
Solicitor Cooper and Stenographer
Dodd were in their places.
Solicitor Cooper handed out a number
of bills to the grand jury and Judge
Prince delivered an able and clear
charge laying particu7ar stress upon
the importance of the office of county
supervisor and the office of county
superintendent of education and the
duty of the grartf jury to inspect the
work of the schools and the manner
in which the local trustes performed
their duties, and if they failed to present
them to the court, and also advicinor

in this way create a sentiment in favor
of giving to every white chi]? an
equal opportunity with every other

and laid particular stress upoa
importance! of having an expert to fill
this office. You get him, said Judge
Prince, even if you have to pay him a
bigger salary. Pay a fair salary and
then demand first-class service. You
should not expect to get a first-class
man for less money than a busine?3
concern would pay for similar service.
The county supervisor should be a
good, intelligent business man, an expert
bridge builder, and should be
paid a sufficient salary to secure the
services of such a man.

in the ccunty. That under our
system of selecting officers it frequently
happened that the officer who
was competent and performed his duties
faithfully wag defeated for reelection
by some smooth hand-shaker
and good mixer who had no other
qualifications for the position. He
spoke of the importance of having a.
real and competent man in this position.
and he should be not only a com
petf?iit teacher and an educated man,
but he should be a good organizer;
ne who can go out among the people
and arouse their interest in the improvement
of their schools and get
the trustees to do their duty. He advised
the> grand jury to appoint committees
from their number to go and
visit the schools and report 'on how
the trustees are performing their duties
and what the county superintendent
and teachers are doing. His remarks
on this subject were exhaustive
and had the right ring about .them.
