Two boys developed in the special day school at Olympia under the care of W. Banks Dove are making good most promisingly at Newberry college. 3ary Paschel, now in his second year, ;s accounted by the president, the Rev. J. H. Harms, D. D., one of the 'best ill round men at Newberry; he is an admirable student, is a member o'f the football and basketball teams and is a leader in Y. ICl A. work. Ben Clark entered the college at the beginning of the current school year a generous woman of Andrews, N. C., paying his fees and board while four Columbians defray .is oiaer personal 2xpenses. Mr. Dove regards him as many proteges. Ben Clark's father, employed in street railway service in Columbia, has had extraordinary expenses lately by reason of protracted illness in the t amiily. The lad. himself* studying hard in the special day school during leisure hours, worked last sumer for the trolley company. His ambition is tod fit himself to enter the ministry of the Lutheran church, for whidh he thinks he has a vocation. His former castor, t>.e Rev. C. E. Weltner, D. D., sometime minister of St. Luke's, Olympia, but now settled in Brunswick, sympathizes with ! im in this ourpose and it was through Dr. Weltenr's agency that a North Carolina hurchwcman of large means offered !:e boy tiie oportunity of going to college.

The papers of last Thursday carried this news item from Columbia: ' .-Iter putting up a stubborn figV.t W'offord con02:0 was defeated by Newberry college by a score of 36 to 0. Swanton, left half for Newberry, broke ' is leg and was rushed to the hos itaV Wefford lost the game but apparently did not ha"e anv member killed or maimed.

We are wondering if his mother sorrows because her boy's "college spirit" resulted in his death. Monday's paper carried this despatch from Brownsville, Texas: "InI inrifle ronaiTrorl irt r% J'*AAfVioll of j u i ao ijjl a. uuuiuan cll uu^; Allen resulted in the death today of Dudley Gothrup, aged 18." Tbis was a Sunday garae. These are the only three items 1 about 'football mcidently picked up.

Deliver us from such! How long will it be before some mother's son in South Carolina will be carried from a glorious game of football a manglied corpse to the other's embrace? J. ERASER LYON iS SUING T. B. FELDER Former Attorney General Says That Well Known Atlanta Attorney Sold II2m Stock Which Proved to Be Worthless and Seeks to Recover Sum of $2,500?Interesting Case. Spartanburg oJurnal. Atlanta, Nov: 7,?-Alleging that Thomas B. Felder, a well-known Atlanta attorney and club man, "unloaded" $2,500 of personal stock in U.:e Provident Trust and Security company on him, J. Fraser Lyon, formerely attorney general of South Carolina, has filed suit against Felder in the Atlanta courts to recover tie amount with interest. I Mr. Lyon says teat in 1912 he, as attorney general of his State, retained Mr. Felder to represent South Carolina, in litigation out of which Felder's firm made $150,000 in fees, and through the friendship thus formed Felder professed great gratitude toward Lyon and said he wanted to do something for 'him in a "perfectly proper way," so he sold him this stock and the company alfterward went under. Mr. Felder says it is true that ?e sold Lyon thestock,butthoughtit s sold Lyon the stock, but thought it a good investment and himself lost several thousand dollars when the concern went to the wall. ?__ Thomas B. Felder, represented toe State of South Carolina as attorney in the days of the winding-up of the old State dispensary. Mr. Lyon was at that time attorney general of t e State. iMr. Felder was for a time quite a prominent figure in South Carolina politics, due to the great enmity which sprung up between Gov. Blease and himself. Two years ago he figured in the campaign hue this year he was silent. j JT'he news that Mr. Lyon has brought suit against Mr. Felder will come as a surprise.
