The senior ;class met these new men. and helped them in matriculating and in finding their rooms. This bunch of new fellows seems to be made up of fine boys who really aim to do earnest "work, and nothing but success can be predicted for teem. The fellows that had to stand entrance examinations stood t*hese on Thursday and Friday, the remaining ires'itmen began regular class work. On Friday nigh; the three literary societies held public meetings and a special invitation v.as extended to the new boys. The Palmetto, Calhoun, and Columbian societies all received many of the new men as members. There are about 30 freshmen out .trying for the freshman football team. About 50 men from the sophomore, junior and senior classes are out try- I ing for the varsity squad; so the entire number of men out for fantihal] this year is about 80. There is some fine material at work for Coach "Bo/b" Williams and Assistant Coaches Carson and James. The only game of football played this year on Bowman field is scheduled for next Saturday, ! September 26th. It has been officially announced that | itae uiemson caxiets will not attend ' the State fair this year. The reason why the boys will not go is due to the great financial distress which now exists in this State. Tie cadets were ' sadly disappointed when it 'was announced that thev would not go to the fair. ! ! The Newberry county club will . ihave six new members this year. The j new men from Newberry county this j year are 'Cadets J. B. Duncan, H. L. , Fellers. J. H. Folk, H. L. Quattlebauin, : J. E. Herbert, and F. S.

October 1st. 1 request that these meetings be called in addition rr> qnv others that may have b?en held. I hope before that date each j county will have been organized. That! in each, county hundreds of people will be wearing our badges, indicating they have paid $1.00 to help boost the price of cotton and that we have their sup-: port in trying to hold one-third of the cotton crop and for reducing the 191o 1 crop 50 per cent. We are going to use , your dollar to help us organize. While we shall be glad to have you contrib- ! ute $1.00 to the organization, we are ! not going to let that keet you from our meetings or from receiving all the benefits v. e can secure. If you work a one horse farm or a 50 hors>e , farm; if you make one bale or 500 ; bales; rich or poor, white or black, 1 we need your influence. We stand for the poor man as well as the rich, in ' a clrin f that rmr r.reriitnrs will take that which we have?a cotton warehouse receipt?and withhold collect- . ing his notes and account as long as ^ he possibly can, in order that we may ; obtain cost or above for this cotton < crop. We wish tne co-operation of . farmers, merchants, bankers, fertilizer > companies and all other persons do-!^ ing business in the South. We wish every farmer to sign our pledge. We request you to hold, if possible, one-1 third of your crop for one year, un- | less you -can sooner sell it for 12 ^ rtrimf? rvftv rvnnnl^ KaIiqtta ^ pti I^VUllU. > ? ^ ^ xi ? million bales or one-third of this crop * cannot be used by the mills of the { world before September 1st, 1915. We believe two-thirds the^ crop, or ten " million bales, can b sold at about ] ten cents or above, if . i will slowly 5 ?11 ?:iu ~ T*t*. ot.li as tut: iiixiio nccu it. y% ^ \-aii son the ten million bales, if properly : marketed, for more money than we * can the whole crop and have five mil- ' lion bales on storage next September. Will you do your part, or do you expect your neighbor to hold your third as well as his? If ypu and your neighbor were serving with Lee in Virginia, would you expect him to face the enemy like the brave man he is, while 1 you ran away to make a few dollars j out of his manhood? Suppose you and your neighbor^both! hold the third off your cotton which both of you agree is necessary, will you not pledge to cut your cotton ac- , reage 50 per cent in order to give value to the surplus you hold, as well as a fair value to the 1915 crop. It your neighbor did not plant but four to six acres to the horse, don't you ! think it would be fair to let him risk his full acreage and let you that planted 20 acres to the mule cut 60 per cent? When the canvass is com- , pleted, see that some one in your county is holding one third as much j cotton for one year as -was made in l 1913 according to government bulletin 125. If the farmers have not ! pledged that much, ask the business j men to put up the necessary balance. Refer to a similar bulletin and see j that total acreage to be planted in j your county in 1915 is only 50 per i cent of 1914 crop. f Every cotton farmer, small or large, is playing a game oT chance. The , stake amounts to hundreds of millions of dollars. If we put cotton up four cents per pound, we will save the South three million dollars. Are you willing to do your part? Come to your county meeting October 1st and . be prepared to instruct our legisla- , ture your wish as to a State ware- \ house bill; also wft&ther you endorse State control cxf cotton acreage.

I The meeting at O'Xeall Street i Methodist church, which is being con- j iucted by this gifted man, has cer-' :ainly started off with universal in'ier-! ist. The large auditorium with the Sunday school rooms annexed was < filled to overflowing last night. After a strong sermon on the power | 3f prayer, delivered in has own pecul-1 :ar method there were ten or 1 souls ! I knelt around the altar and gave their j learts to God, witih more than half; >f the congregation kneeling for prayer. iHe is certainly original, and hi& | peculiar method and original manner j >f preactdng are drawing large | crowds. Although he has preached Dnly twice yet, tbe crowds have al ready passed tftose at" iormer revivals, and no telling where it would go if we had seating room. Although he has a large preaching space, yet every inch is taken up, as well as the altar space. With eyes flashing ^and fists doubled up, he dashes like a caged lion irom one side to the other, driving I the red-hot shots of bible truths into j his hearers. His coat becoming too heavy, and before an eye can wink, off it goes laid where it may. He stops long enough to tell the ladies not to kick, as he had sleeves and a collar to his shirt; Which statement some of them could not make. VI Tver Vih O i/i 1 ? A115 ii?o uauuo uccp 11J.

And then the collar becomes too tight, and the collar goes in one direction and the neck tie in another.
