The second class phenomena, which "we may call :he automatic, consists j of table tilting and turning with contact, writing, drawing, through the medium hand; convulsive movements and involuntary dancing, intransment, trance-speaking and persona tion by the medium of deceased persons, attributed to temporary possession, seeing spirits, visions, and hearing phantom voices.

Truth, that great torch which looks into the heart and actuates the lives of many. Trulth, that mighty giant that fathoms the depths, scans the heights, removes' many barriers and bridges the chasm. Truth, that mighty queen, beautiful TirVi rv rnloc T1 Off With tile auu iuic;, < eve and hand, but the hand of reason and love was brought into play. Her services were demanded, her keen intellect was sought and her penetrating eye was called for. She came, ! looked, investigated and found the fraud ard scandal. With untiringj and relentless energy she went to work, framed laws, organized courts, I impanelled juries, tried cases an^ con- . . victed thousands of the perpetrators of these frauds and scandals; thus we j see and so exclaim, Oh, Thou Truth,! what a power thou art. . Th-pre is vet one thing more to ' which I desire to refer as illustrating, J not only the fact that trifth is a , fthing of much pow?r but also it has its triumphs. The war between the i S:ates was on. Ruin and devastation j were seen on every hand as the effects of this bloody conflict.' Thousands of the best and truest were shedding Itheir lifes blood i^ vindication of, their" country's honor. Prayers from many sad and troubled hearts had as- J cended heavenward expressing thej "hope that hostilities would soon 1 cease and peace would reign supreme. ?* > But the cloud of war remained low, "heavy and dark. Lee and Grant were j still plowing great furrows in the j heart of the two sections or tne ai- j Tided union, and fthe ground was stained afresh with the blood of those i who freely sacrificed their all for home, for country ' and for justice.) j Much valuable property and many institutions df learning suffered great- j ly at the hand of the heartless and j blood-thirsty generals on the Union side. Our own college, my friends, j lay in the pa>:!i of the great destroy- : er. Vv'hile she was not completely annihilated, still the property was badly abused at the hand of the haters of the South. What a .blow was brought; upon our schools by the bloody con- j flict. That which was so bright, en- j couraging and promising soon vanish ed away and hope ceased to cheer and j inspire. Early in the spring of '61 Ithe college was closed, the students having been summoned home because of the excitement and confusion of an approaching civil war. The professors resigned with the burning conviction, no doubt, that the Queen of fortune would never smile upon her again. At last the bloody conflict was' brought to a close, tne arms were stacked. Peace had been declared and surviving Grays and Blues returned home. Many were lefit upon the battle-field clasped in the cold arms of death and with regard to them I wish to express the sentiment of the poet, who "* ? IT.. MV\ AITATC 11C! nas so Deauuiuuy s^uncu "Sadly, but not with upbraiding, The generous deed was done; In the storm of the years thait are fading, No braver battle was won; Under V e sod and the dew, Waiting the judgment day; Under the blossoms, tb blue, Under the Garlands, the Gray. No more shall the war cry sever, Or winding rivers be red; They banish our anger forever, When the laurel the graves of our dead; Under the sod and the dew, Waiting the judgment day; Love and tears for the blue, . Tears and love for th-e Gray." The college was reopened under the presidency of Rev. ^)r. Smeltzer, but "because of the condition of the buildI ing the synod" of South Carolina accepted the offer made by Walhalla and in the fall of tl e year 1S6S the college was removed to that place, and with varying success remained until September 1SS7, when it was brought back to its original home. Oh! what hardships she endured! What trying ordeals -;vc pas-". I : h.

Territory stretching from the mountains to the seaboard, buildings large, commorious and substantial, and she is today exerting a power and influence almost world-wide.

Yes, cur college evidences and illustrates the fact i:hat truth has its triumphs. In conclusion, I wish to leave with you some faint glimmerings of a picture. I see before me the picture of a building, emanating from the many windows in that building are lights j lnrr K.Cfjnlv J) n fl renowned iui men biuij, u. .j . ~ splendor. Within ft hat building are those who are digging hard and deep. They have been taught th? ife is worth while and that he who gets th-e most and best out of life is he who puts the most and best in life. Within are also those who know from experience 'that life has its duties, carries its responsibilities, and assumes its obligations, and that all of these must be met and discharged. They | have passed through the mills and know that the mills of the Gods grind slowly. They are mere lenaing encouragement and aid in the training and developing of the purest minds and best brain in America. Around and close to that building is a band of men who are determined by all the j powers they possess that her fair name, her reputation and her character shall ever be fostered and maintained, and that ithe thing for which ! she stands shall not be treated with levity and indifference. Year by year tnere go out num utilising a company cf men and women j who, because of their training, are j ready for life's duties and are resolv- j ed by the'grace of God to fight the j good fight, to finish the course, to keep the faith, and to run with! patience the race that is set before them. What is this j*ou ask, a build- j ing? I answer, Yea, more than aj building! An institution? Yea, more; than an ordinary institution! Fellow! Alumni, it is New'berry college! Your j college! My college! The peoples college! The college! And why are these? These bright and brilliant j lights. These mental giants. These physical heroes. The defenders of j truth, the supporters of justice, the advocates of right, why are these? Because, fellow Alumni, our college, the college, securely rests upon, profoundly abides in, and heroically and unwaveringly stands for the truth, the glorious, the eternal truth, the basic principle. DEATH OF MRS. D. H. TOMPKINS. Many Sorrowing Friends Attend Last Sad Rites at Xinety Six. Greenwood Journal, 10th. * ~ - T\ TT The funeral services or sits. u. n. Tompkins, who passed away yesterday morning were conducted today at noon by Rev. J. R. Moore in the presence of many sorrowing friends, at Ninety Six and the interment was made in the Ninety Six cemetery. A large number of Greenwood people attended tthe last sad rites. Gen. U. R. Brooks in today's State paid the following beautiful tribute J to Mrs. Tompkins. j "At her lovely home near Ninety Six, Mrs. D. H Tompkins died at y a. m., June 9, 1913, in the 63rd year of her age. She was the beautiful Miss Chich Rook before her happy marriage to the friend of my youth, the Hon. D. H. Tompkins. She leaves her devoted husband and five loving children to mourn her loss?

She was an affectionate wife ami a devoted mother, a devout - ;i b'.r of the Paptist church a I good neighbor and a friend to the poor. But why mourn for her? In ! the beautiful words of Longfellow,; ~ " rx? Vi l r?Vi i in ft is poem on ' Kesignauuu, , have brought comfort anci consolation to many in the hour of trial? "The air is full of farewells for the dying And mourning for the d-ad, But oftentimes celestial benediction:; i Assume this dark disguise, What seems to us but sad funeral j tapers May be heaven's distant lamps.' "All classes honored, respected and loved her in her neighborhood, sne ; wrote, her name in kindness, love and j mercy on the hearts of all who knew j her. "To th? stricken husbr 1 and child- j ren we would that we could bear j - - - J i some pear?, of thougnt, some i^nuci | word of solace to ease their anguish for a moment. But no! Words count for aught in times like this. There is but One who can give comfort." j This is True. Batesburg Herald. i If we wish to have friends we must, be friendly. Friendship is an ex-; nffippn and we must i Wl IV1HU1J , prove ourselves willing to do our share. If you are me responsive and j reticent, so that peon'e are rath-?r repelled than attracted, cultivate an j op-en manner and a courteous interest! in other people's concerns. Teach j your hear to be sympathetic, kindly, i generous, responsive. Think of oth-I i { jers rather than yourself and you will) find no lack of friends. Whatever u-1 ^ nr- i nappens, nu cuuu, in<-uu, ought :o hear an impatient word pass between a married pair. It Does Good. Batesburg Herald. Have a kind word and a pleasant smile for everyone. It doesn't cost anvrhin? and we never knew the good it may do. It is really one's duty to treat every one w-ell- and more than that, to s=ek occasions for doing lit- 1 tie kindnesses, to make a bright spot for someone every cay of our lives. We have no right to lice selfishly; we owe something to th? world at large. PLA>r STATE WELFARE WORK Prof. W. K.
