"I wish you the very greatest sue- r cess in your undertaking/' continued a( Mr. Lever, "because the campaign deserves to succeed and I trust to jg i have the privilege of making my con- w tribution." ^ w From Mt. Gretna, Pa., Dr. J. e, Henry Harms, former president of Newberry college, has written Dr. n McCullough a letter in similar vein. I g "The best way to serve the nation J p in these days of high demand," says Dr. Harms in his letter, "is to equip the Christian college and make it sufficient for its tasks. Our Luth- n ' -eran church in the South will be do- ^ ing a great patriotic as well as phil- 0 anthropic service xto complete this fund and do it on schedule time, j q Nobody who knows the Southern ! v spirit will expect the plan to fail. n And friends of Christian education -y -everywhere in our church and out of .. ^ it, are going .to watch this campaign f( with prayers and applauding interv~ <** " b< Mrs. M.

President Derrick will speak on i "What it will mean to the colleges if the campaign succefeds," at the , federation of Lutheran young peo- j pie's societies at Leesville during the ? convention October 10-12. There will be other talks, among them "A ] vision of a greater Newberry," by ] Mr. Carl Caughman. Ben Havird has the thanks of a great many people in Newberry for tearing down that old eyesore of a building on the corner of College and Harrington streets. Wait till he puts up a business place there and you will see newness of life in the vicin- j ity. There are other eye sores that ought to be removed. ; Water has always been said to be free.

BLAKE MAKES SPLENDID TALK TO WOMEN Newberry Clinic Holds Intersting Meeting at Whitmire?Chautauqua Has Just Closed; > \ Whitmire, Oct. 7.?We were glad to have with us last week Drs.

Mrs. Blake made a splendid talk to the women at the school building and she made the subject of Public Health seem more important than it " a. .Li-_ iiTi, ; ever nas to me women ui ynnuauc. At the Glenn-Lowry Y. M. C. A. auditorium we fcad interesting and instructive talks from the doctors and also a wonderful set of slides were shown. Besides giving some very definite ideas as to the natureN and results of diseases these men explained just what the new clinic is that has just been opened in Newberry for this county.

FORWARD MOVEMENT MAKING FINE PROGRESS At no time in a hundred years of honored history has there been 8?ch enthusiasm in the A. R. P. church as there is over the Forward Movement. The committee in charge of this work has sought to lead the people out into greater spiritual activity. Thousands of the members of this Church are praying every day for the success of the movement. An effort has been made to enlist every member of the church in some form of service. The great idea of the stewardship of life has been made emphatic. The members of the church are coming to realize that any possession is of the Lord, and that the pew has a service to render to Christ that is just as essential and just as sacred as the pulpit. The people have become so interested in the movement that they cannot be restrained from taking up the campaign for funds. Anderson has just become self-supporting last year. The committee apportioned $2,500 as her share of the big fund. The pastor and session thought best to take up the canvass for funds at once, and raised $5,865. Due West was apportioned $6,000 and the congregation voted to make it $15,000. While the Newberry pastor was away in the West in the interest of the movement his congregation took up enough advance subscriptions to go over the top. One of the greatest blessings that is coming out of the movement is the inspirational and educational quickening. Every congregation in the synod is being visited by one or morfe outside speakers. The four-minute men are bringing fine messages from Sabbath to Sabbath in their respective churches. The coming Sabbath will be obqc PnrwarH Mnvpmpnt dav in JV/l V tu UtJ JL VA ?rv?* v? ~ v Newberry county.

COTTON VERY SHORT IN NEWBERRY COUNTY According to the gWners report issued on September 20, mere v ere only 5,212 bales of cotton ginned in Newberry county against 8,058 for the same time in 1918. That is nearly 3,000 bales short and certainly the conditions for gathering and the opening of the crop have been as favorable or mq^e so than they were last year.

HOLD CONFERENCE AT BETH EDEN Lutherans Hold Enthusiastic Meeting ?Inspiring Addresses on $300,000 Drive Made. * The Lutherans of Newberry county met in a conference last Friday and Saturday at Beth Eden church, Retf. L. P. Boland, pastor. The attendance was good, the weather was fair. We had two good sermons by Revs. Koon and Hite. The addresses were enthusiatic and inspiring, and the entertainment excellent. The burden of the discussions was concerning the great drive to raise $300,000 for S,ummerland and New, berry colleges*. There were other subjects |or discussion but the sqeaker would find himself talking on the I campaign for the colleges before he finished. Everybody seemed optimistic with regard to the success of the campaign. President S. J. Derrick, Dr. George B. Cromer, and Prof. W. K. Gotwald of Newberry college were present. At the conclusion of Prof. Derrick's address the following resolution was unanimously adopte<|: "Reserved, First, That it is the sense of this conference that the time is now opportune and the demand is imperative in regard to the canvas for $300,000 for Newberry and Summerland colleges. That we as pastors _ and laymen go oft record today with - 1 a aeierminauun tu iuwlc evety cixvik possible until the good shall have been reached." Another topic that provoked an interesting discussion was "The Lutheran Brotherhood.' This was discussed by Revs. T. F. Suber, J. J. Long and E. Fulenwider. ,The following resolutions were passed with regard to this subject: "Believing the Lutheran brotherhood movement will be of great benefit to our Lutheran church, therefor, be it resolved, that we as conference endorse the movement and when the time is ripe for it, urge all of our congregations to organize in flieir rpsnpfkive UlMliilClliUVUU ill * . ? - _ / - m r churches. A suitable resolution was also passed expressing our appreciation of the kind entertainment given us by the pastor ami congregation of Beth Eden. The conference is to hold its next meeting at Colony Lutheran church on some Thursday and Friday that the officers of conference and the pastor loci may select. J. B. Harman, Sec. Pro Tem. "BRINGING UP FATHER" To Appear at the Opera House Wednesday, October 15th?"By Golly." The clever and enjoyable comics of George McManus, "Bringing Up Father" which have been placed upon the stage by that astute manager and discoverer of cartoon celebrities, Gus Hill, will be the next attraction at the opera house, Wednesday, October 15. Probably no caricature of recent years has won such popular acclaim as ha've the pictures of the good-natured Jiggs Mahoney and his wife, known the whole world over as "Mother." They are more or less a household word. Which goes to prove that the whole universe likes to laugh, no matter what the medium might be. In this particular instance - - - * 1 1-i - J the instrument 01 laugmer is a imcc act comedy with music, and containing a real story, plot and brimful of action of the kind that insinuates the very marrows and lingers in the soul. The title of the play? Quite important to be sure. It is called "Bringing Up Father in Society." Col. Aull Needs More Help. I Col. Elbert H. Aull of Newberry, (supervisor of census for the Third congressional district spent last night in the city. Col. Aull states that he | is still in need of enumerators to asjsist in mapping out the districts for ! the census next year and thus far he has been unable to secure a stenographer who will be engaged in his office at Newberry during the time the census is being taken at a good salary.?Greenwood Index-Journal, 8th.
