TWICE A WEEK, $U0 A TEAS OERX.VX SUBMARINES ARE j I t OFF JERSEY COAST| ^ New York, June 3.?Information re- j Hu ceived a: the Maritime Exchange here j Hf indicated a? many as lr> vessels have! , been sunk. New York. June 3.?One steamship , one schooner and two or three other vessels have been sunK on me |ersey ( coast by German submarines. | The ships were attacked sometime j during the night, according to inform- : ation which was received here. De^ tails were not immediately available. | The iport authorities barred the de- j 0 parture of outgoing ships T>efore noon. 11 Y It is presumed here that the subma-1 - - f . Tine or submarines are now Demg | dealt with by American destroyers. { One of the ships sunk was the Ed-; ward H. Cole, a sailing vessel. j It was asserted in shipping circles ' that it was possible that as many as six additional vessels were destroyed, not including those known to have besen sunk. Rumors of the presence of German submarines off the Amen- i j cztr coast have been current for the nast two weeks, the reports telling u 'Of one or more having been sighted L in Southern waters. w The attack upon American shipping 1 almost at the very entrance of New ! York habor is taken to mean that Germany has at last inaugurated a submarine campaign to break up transport of troops to France. Chatham, Mass., Tune 3.?A report is current on t^e cape that ship has "been tornedoed off iXantuket Shoals. No official confirmation of the report is obtainable.

V()M.nemok> r sJt;a.>u> AT NEWBERRY COLLEGE.; i i Have the people of Newberry lost! interest in education? Or have they simply lost interest in Newberry col- J lege? The writer has attended almost ; every commencement of the college , since its return to Newberry from [ Walhalla, from tfA time the exercises i i were held in the court house until tn? ; building of the opera house. .Never f have we seen an occasion even when it was raining and when the weather was hotter than it was on Sunday that the court house or the opera house was not taxed to its capacitv at the I Sunday exercises, to hold the people, until this year and neither at the morn ing service nor at the evening service was there a Sufficient number of peo- j| pie to occupy more than half the seats. I And all the churches were closed so j that the members might attend the j college exercises. But they didn't attend. And there were very few visitors in the city. If they were her-i they did not come to the opera hous~; where the exercises were held. I At the night service the attendance j was especially slim. Dr. Harms j stated that tie expected more visiluxs;? than usual but they had not come up j to that time. The sermon was preached by Rev. C. H. Bauslin. He spoke for more than an hour hot as it was. We print a synopsis of the sermon. The conclus- j ion was a patriotic appeal for men who could serve and he said that this | was a time when it was a great priv- | ilege to live that there was so mucn | to be done and such an opportunity j for service not only to the country but | to the church. In 1910 the sermon j was preached to the graduating class ; by Rev. D. H. Bauslin the father of the speaker on Sunday. The following is an outline of ths ! sermon: Putting the Spurt Into Expert > "This one thing I do." That was the motton of the man who turned ths world upside down. iNo other mere j human being ever so changed historv and controlled the course of civiliza- j tion as Paul, the Apostle to the Gen- j tiles. The explanation, it seems to j me, lies in the principle which con trolled his life. Your life will amount to but little to yourself and nothing to the world unless it is controlled :byi ono o-reat nurncse. The reason why many ipeople never ^et anywhere ' is because they start for nowhere. Tohelp you to put the spurt into expert I would suggest first of all that yoa follow your own bent. You have one, and probably only one. You cannot do everything. You must choose, and --11? -..Annn,]!, 1 f, lifp the man wno reauy SUttccuo hi is the man who masters one particular subject. Don't drift into your specialty. Take time to think it over: 1 if necessary do temporary work while you are determining beyond doubt what you are fitted best to do. Put . your very 'best self into your work. You will fail if you do it half heartedly. Put reputation, a good one, into :: your work, but back it up by charac- j a misrhtv high cer. i ne ? ui iu ymv? _ premium mpon character these days in every department of life, even in the business would the so-called moral ? risk is standardized by character.

Put the right estimate upon life.j ocrr,ifv orreatlv the ; I OU liiUbt nut- w physical, ncr emphasize too exclusive-i ly the mental. There are many ways ! of making a living: there is only one i way of making a life.
