L^UME LVI., NUMBER 46. NEWBERRY, S. C., TUESDAY, JUNE 8,^1920. TWICE A WEEK, $2.00 A YEAR HHH| _____________ i Fmmencement season at newberry collegi i [ Twenty-nine Graduates Sent Forth L Good Sermons?Fine Weather and Everybody Feeling Good. *The commencement season at New i anc berry is aiwajs an ^ pleasant occasVn. Newberry peo pie all feel a deep and an* abidinf personal interest in Newberry col lege. They realize that it is th< biggest and best asset that the towi and the community has and when ever there is anything that concern; the college it concerns in like man ner the people of this community 1 -LT- - and all of them rejoice witn me wr lege aulhoritries at the success of the Trhis year 31 graduates are senWrth 22 young men and 9 youn^ ^ Indies comprise the class. A ycunc lady takes the first honor of the class and while that has happened severa "+imps it is rather unusual that s * 11 young lady should also divide tne second honor of the class, but whj should it not be so, they are endowed with the same minds as the male and it all depends in large measure upon the use to which we put oui natural endowments as to the success to which we shall attain in any line of human endavor. yhe weather has been ideal foi this commencement seasoji. The rains of Friday evening and Saturdaj morning settled the awful dust that .we had and cooled the atmosphere made Sunday a most delightfu] dafy for the exercises at the opera house where the services were held, The house was filled to capacity and the sermon was reached by the Rev. 3.,L. Blomgren of Charleston. The ,devotionals were conducted by the Rev. Edw. Fulenwider of the Lutheran church in Newberry, prayer being offered by the Rev: J. J. Long of Little ^Mountain. A select choir rendered most excellent music. Dr. Blomgren based his remarks " from two texts one irgm mc Testament, "The Fear of the Lord is the Beginning- of Wisdom," and the otiier from ^"ihe New Testament, ''Seek Ye First the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness." He said the country was facing a very serious crisis though: it was making great strides and. spending billions of dollars on education and come sooner or later to disaster unless the people accept a/nd cultivate and practice more the religion of Jesus Christ. 'NThe sermon was carefully prepared jKnd evidenced thought and study of the subject. ) The Address at the evening service at the,?pera house was before the Y. M. A. of the college and was delivered by the Rev. R. R. Sowers of Irmo. It was a plain and simple sermon and strong in its simplicity an:"! .forcefully delivered, the earnestness ?with which the message was presentgiving it power. Mr. Sowers basBffd his remarks upon the example of Muhrist and held that example up before the young men as the ideal life and the only life worth while. > Some of the component parts which go to make up this life as told in strong and forceful words by the preacher were goodness, which is more than greatness; honesty in dealing with your fellows and with yourself and your God; temperance, total abstinence from the use of strong drink as the only safe rule to follow; justice in all your operations, justice to yoir fellows and justice to yourself; fortitude or courage to do the #right regardless of the taunts or jeer? of the world; and yet you may havo all of these and if you have not faith in Christ and accept him as your ideal and your example they will fail you in the attainment of the ideal life, the only life worth while. Mnmlftv nr?d honestv and iustice and temperance and fortitude or courage will not save you and will not develop in you the ideal life to which the preacher directed the young men, In this day especially was there demand for just such virtues in the life of those who are coming on the stage as the speaker had set forth as con efri+nfiTK* tViP iripal lifp..

Washington, June 5.?The Sixty>ixth congress ended its second session today, adjourning sine die at 4 d. m. Unless a grave emergency irises which makes necessary a special session, it will not meet again intil December 6. The close of the session was markid by none of the hectic rush that generally attends a getaway of congress, but there was the usual applauding and cheering in ^he house ihamber after Speaker Gillett's gavel lad released the members for the irst long vacation congress has had since the United States entered the ,var. The house cleaned up its work sarly in the" day and twice recessed ;o await possible senate action on pending measures. The senate renamed in continuous session and, as ;he result of a small sized filibuster ;here, the bill to esfjblish a national >udget system failed' of passage. n_i_ T yjmy x v* u Final sessions of both houses passid without the plethora of political ipeeches which had been expected by nany since congress was quitting on X he eve of the national political contentions. Just at the finish Repreientative Mondell of Wyoming,- the Republican leader, delivered an adIress praising congress for the work iccomplished at this session. Repre.entative Garrett, Democrat, Ten"pwpp. renlied. declaring that this :ongress had been a "humiliating failure." The nearest thing to a political \ .peech in the*?senate was an attack >y Senator Pomerene, Democrat, )hio, on the contingent expense :ommittee for delaying in reporting lis resolution proposing an investigation by the elections committee nto expenditures in the forthcomng presidential and congressional :ampaigns. He declared that the )emocrats would not and the Repubicans could not say to the people hat it was none of their business. famnaicn funds came from or V AAV,*, v O iow they were expended. The reso- f ution was adopted without a record rote. , " President Wilson's criticism in his ; elegram today to the heads of the ailroad brotherhoods also passed without comment in either house. Practically the only action 6yHhe touse during the day was to pass the >udget bill after amending it to meet he president's ojrfection that it took rom the executive autnority xo renove the comptroller general and as- ; istant comptroller general, officials tppointed by him under the measure. Republicans abandoned their plan ' ;o call for a vote on the resolution efusing President Wilson's 'request :'or authority to accept a mandate 1 >ver Armenia. The measure had al- fl *eady been adopted t>y the senate. fl Chairman Porter, in a formal state- J nent, said Democratic members of ;he house would have blocked transiction of all other business had the esolution been brought up.

H Washington, June 5.?Holding that V scarcity of % newsprinft paper, which 1 las handicapped American news jaiiers. to be "more the result of ar- x . . ? / ;ificial obstructions than of natural aws," the senate committee which nvestigated the paper situation tolay recommended that the departnent of justice institute proceedings inder the Sherman and Clayton acts igainst print paper manuiacturcra.
