John F. Hobbs remarked on Sunday
to the baccalaureate speaker it was i
^ ""1920 Model" in many respects. Th<
sermons on Sunday were fine and no^
too long drawn out, but of the mode
which made the listeners sorry wher
the speakers ceased. Thev were o1
a high order of merit as well as brief
Dr. Blomgren made a most favorable
impression and many were the com

scholarship .evidenced by the speak?
address by Mr. Sowers a1

night was a gem and delivered lr
strong and vigorous style. The music
by the choir was good and gave
pleasure in the listening to the sweet
voices. In fact it was a model commencement
season from beginning tc
^ end, whether of the 1920 variety 01
not. The commencement itself was
not too long so as to tire the host as
well as the visitor, and everything
v. left a pleasant taste all around.
The graduating exercises on Tuesday
were brief and excellent. Not
too many speeches though the class
was among the largest ever going out
?".n1n^
from the college, mere was aa*Mtatory
and only five of the 29 graduates
<;poke.
W. H. Derrick of Liitle Mountain
spoke on "Unrest."
J. C. Oxner of Kinards on "Americanization."
A. R. Boring of Florida on
"Bonus?"
J. J. Vigodsky of Newberry on
"That Same Red Pottage." This was
the same speech that Mr. Vigodsky
spoke at Greenwood in the oratorical
contest and with which he won the
?Wo hpard a srentleman say
? mcuai. ,, ^ ~ ^
that he had been attending commencements
for many years and that
it was the best commencement speech
he had ever listened to.
Miss Haskell Wright of Greenville
spoke the valedictory and unlike
most commencement addresses by
young ladies she did not handle any
manuscript but spoke "without
notes,"
After the addresses by the graduates
the medals were awarded as
follows: First honor medal was won
by Miss Haskell Wright of Greenville.
The philosophy medal was
won by W. H. Derrick of Little
Mountain. The freshman medal for
scholarship was won by U. E. Derrick
pi Leesville and T. D. Rast of
- i havine: tied and
UraXigeDurg, mc ~ w
f xvfa medals were given. The essay
nvsdal was won by Miss Helen Her_ ..
)j4rt of Newberry and the prcsenfi"tion
of this medal was by Dr. Tom
Dreher of St. Matthews. The sub of
the essay for this year was, "The
Public in No Man's Land."
President Derrick presented the
diplomas to the graduates and made
a strong address urging the young
people tne importance of right living
^ and right thinking and study of the
^^3ten commandments as the best rule
conduct yet delivered to man. And
j^^^the basis upon which all human conduct
should stand.
.Li-. ^
He also conferred by autnuntj w
the board of trustees the degree of
L.L. D. upon Major James F. J.
Caldwell of Newberry, an honor most
worthily bestowed. Major Caldwell
is not only learned in the law but he
is a scholar of large and varied attainments.
The degree of master of arts was
conferred upon the following: Rev.
W. R. Bouknight of Fort Mill, Prof.

Samuel J. DerricK OX OWanoca^ * av*.
J. H. Riser of Winthrop college,
Prof. 0. D. Ritchie of Albemarle,

Mr. Z. F. Wright for Dr. W. H.
Hunt, piesident of the Newberry
college club, announced that there
had been contributed by the citizens
of Newberry who are not Lutherans
the sum of $20,000 to the amount
^ already raised for Newberry college,
and handed to President Derrick the
J^^subscription list, the money to be
^used by the college as to the authorities
may seem best. This is in addition
to the amount raised by the
Lutherans of Newberry in the drive
for the college, which was put on
last year. That amount was $44.000.
Mr. Wright said that he wanted
the Lutherans to know that while
Newberry is under the direction oi

of Newberry considered it a Newberry
institution, and that he could sa>
the teaching at the college was in nc
sense sectarian. He was very happj
in his remarks referring to many oi
the prominent men who had gone oul
? from Newberry and pointed to then
with pride.
At the conclusion of the graduat
ing exercises President Derrick an
nounced the opening day of the nexi
session and hoped to see all the olc
under classmen back at their post*
and he knew, he said, that many nev
boys would come to the college ii
-che coming fall, and he thanked th<
Newberry people for their interes'
and uniform support and cooperatioi
in the work at the college.
The trustees at the meeting 01
^ Monday afternoon in addition t<
m routine matters and the conferring
T of degrees decided to increase th<
f salary of all professors twenty per
cent. And to make some changes in
j the buildings on the campus so as to
* I provide more room for the students,
j After class day exercises came the
! alumni dinner or luncheon in the old
i court house. This building in the
1 upper room has been finished in nice
' st.vle hv the local Dost of the Ameri
I can legion, with new floors and new
1 i ceiling, and is now a most delightful
^ place for just such functions as this
- luncheon, and it was kindly placed at
t the disposal of the alumni for this
1 purpose. It was not strictly an
1 alumni luncheon but was prepared
^ and furnished by the Newberry col*
lege club for the alumni and all fori
mer students of the college. Plates
" were spread for about 400 and we
1, understand that around 360 sat down
"; to the tables at one time. And there
: were a few vacant chairs. The lun
1 cheon was beautifully served oy me
' ( Confederate daughters and was very
5 much, enjoyed by the home' folk and
', the visitors who sat at the tables,
j After the luncheon there were a
' few talks by some of those present,
"j Mr. J. Lawson Gorgans of Dallas,
' Texas, was the speaker of the oc
51 casion and he brought an inspiring
' and helpful message and spoke of
j the needs and demands of the schools
' j of the country and was listened to
' With marked attention and interest.
5 Dr. Tom Breher of St. Matthews,
;. the inimitable and excellent gentle'
man as well as fine physician, acted
as toastmaster and he did the job in
I <rood style. In order that he might
i get off on a train for the north Col.
John F. Hobbs was first called on to
' respond to the toast, Newberry C-ol\
lege, the Yale of the South. Col.
HoWps delivered a most excellent and
j loy^n talk evidencing by his words
: and his earnestness his true and
1 faithful loyalty to his alma mater.
Other talks were made by the Rev.
' C. A. Freed," More Boys." Dr. S.
:; L. Blomgren, "More Money." B. M.
, Clark, "We Boys." Dr. W. H. Hunt,
| "All Together." All the talks were
j saturated with loyalty to the old
college and we are sure mean a reI
newal of faithful devotion to all her
. interests. * *
At the conclusion of the luncheon
j the alumni repaired to the county
court house where the business
J meeting of the association was neld.
, The Rev. J. J. Long: as vice presii
dent presided in the absence of J.
B. Hunter, who is absent from the
city and who is the president of the
association.
;(: There was a very large attendance.
It was decided to leave the
program for the next annual meeting
to the officers of the association
last meeting
who were eiecicu a.? _
for a term of two years.
It was also decided to >*aise the
annual dues to $2.50 and after pay;
ing the expenses of the commencement
to turn the remainder over to
the enlargement of the college library.
i The contest for the medal in oratory
by the members of the junior,
class was held on Monday evening.
The following were the contestants:
j P. K. Harmon of Prosperity, "The
Menace of Class Control.''
I. N. Merchant of Newberry, "Man,
, the Type, Lives On."
j F. B. Counts of Georgia, "The
' Leprosv of foiincai iuatcnoiwu..
; C. J* M. Blume of North Carolina,
"America's Duty."
D. 0. Holman of Calhoun county,
"Frowning Forts of Folly."
R. B. Cromer of Newberry, "The
( Red Plague."
| The judges awarded the medal to
; Mr. Blume with honorable mention of
Mr. Merchant, the presentation being
made by Dr. Tom Dreher in a
, very happy manner.
i The contest was fine and all of
+Uo vnnrcr mpn Hid well. The senti
W14V J vuw&
ment among them so far as one could
! judge from the speeches was very
. decidedly in favor of the peace treaty
and the league of nations.
.! Altogether it was a most delight;
ful commencement season and as be;
fore remarked it was notable for the
good cheer which one met on every
! side and the fine college spirit which
, prevailed among all the visitors and
the home folk too.

The governor in his letter of invitation
refers to several reasons for
an assembly to consider how to "Do|

Amo?:-g other things he says:
"Within the past two weeks the
. press associations have carried to the
world a statement given out by the
Russell Sage Foundation which rates
our State at the bottom of the list
of all States and our insular possessions
as to advancement in its educational
system. This standing of
South Carolina has been widely commented
on?2nd it is not a helpful
piece of advertising.
"What shall be South Carolina's
answer? A most fitting one would
be that the far-seeing - and public
spirited men of our State have voluntarily
united and pledged a quarter
of a million of dollars to do the
things that are necessary to remedy
educational and other conditions that

and then to furnish to the world correct
information as to our resources

COMMENCEMENT DANCE
DELIGHTFUL AFFAIR
The old sombre building which we
used to know as 'the old court
Mouse," out wnicn 01 laie nas Deen
called the "home of the Newberry
county post" was the scene of a lovely
dance on Tuesday night when the
Legion's commencement dance was
given.'
Every detail had been carefully
worked out to make the dance a big
success and the entertainment committee
deserves great credit for the
occasion and in addition to making
all arrangements they were on hand
to extend a greeting .to the home folk
and to the manv visitors who came
for the dance.
The old court room has been transformed
into a modern- and well appointed
hall, with a floor laid es:
pecially for dancing and athletic
events. The whole aspect of the
place seems changed and with the
added decorations the rooms were
especially attractive.
i Fully 300 people attended the
dance and those who did not "trip
the light fantastic" enjoyed the
music furnished by the Garber-Davis
orchestra and the sparkling punch
and tns+.v sar.riwirhes came in for
, their share of attention.
! This dance was a great success
from every standpoint and the local
post is being highly complimented on
the way in which they conducted this
dance and the enjoyment which it
gave to those who attended.

Chicago, June 9.?Second day proceedings
of the Republican national
I committee, lasting barely an hour
J and dealing entirely with routine,
! moved as smoothly and swiftly today
i as a hoop rolling down hill.
! There was a shout of approval
I from the delegates as they adopted I
! tfhe report of the committee on perj
manent organization, by which Senj
ator Lodge of Massachusetts was
' made permanent chairman, which
: considerably shortened the work and
cut out a lot of speechmaking. The
! convention gave its presiding officer
i a big demonstration.
The report of the committee on
j credentials, over which some dele;
gates had expressed a fight, was pre- j
I sontcd and adopted without a flut- j
l ter, as was the report of the rules j
! committee, which gives women repre-j

j With no report from the makers j

; first for Chauncey M. Depew of'New!
York, veteran of many convention'

i Depew turned his oratorical weapons
on President Wilson, and especially
i when he declared that in the old days
! when Washington found it necessary
to deal closehand with foreigh powers,
he stayed on the job at home j
and sent the chief justice as his;

of addressing it. She was thrilled by
the warmth of the greeting, and in a
brief address pledged the loyal support
of millions of women voters to
the Republican cause.
Calls for other men high in the
ranks of the party, including Former
Speaker Cannon, who was not
present, were ended quickly as the
convention adopted Senator Wadsworth's
motion to adjourn until t.n

SHIELDS SCORED
BY TENNESSEANS
Senator John K. Shields Bitterly Denounced
for Stand on League
of Nations.
Nashvile, Tenn., June $.?Tennessee
Democrats, assembled in convention
here, today denounced the stand i
taken by Senator John K. Shields of
this State, in voting against the lea-|
gue of nations as presented to the i
senate by President Wilson. The j
came over the protest
of Governor Roberts and his supporters,
who opposed the move, but were
unable to stem the tide. A motion
, to table the amendment to the party
platform, in which the denunciation
was contained, was lost by a vote of
1,219 to 314.
| The women of the State taking
part in their first State convention
played a large part in the Shields
condemnation.
Deelgates elected from the State
at large to the San Francisco convenI
tion were Mrs. Guilford Dudley of
Nashville, Col. Harry S. Berry of
Sumner county, T. R. Preston ofi

The stand of the latter in
voting for the peace,treaty was heartily

of President Wilson and his
leadership of the party.
VIEWS OF EDWARDS
UN PROHIBITION
Governor of New Jersey Demands
Liberalization of Volstead Act
and Calls on People.
Sea Girt, N. J., June 9.?Gov. Edward
I. Edwards, a candidate for
the Democratic presidential nomination,
issued a statement here tonight
demanding liberalization of the Volstead
act and calling upon "the people
of the United States lawfully and
by the constitutional method pre|
scribed to pass judgment upon the
; act."
I "The supreme court has declared
j the 18th amendment to be part of
i the constitution and the Volstead act
; to be its statutory interpretaion/'
read the statement. "That act is open
to such amendment as the duly
elected representatives of the people
may enact.
"No power exists which is paramount
to the power of the people expressed
at the polls. There alone is
sovereignty. Every candidate for
congress, every state and legislative
official and the candidates for the
presidency itself will be called upon
this coming November to declare
their positions unmistakably on the
sane and reasonable interpretation; of
the constitutional amendment in favor
of the permissive use of light
wines and beers, each state to determine
its regulations under the liberal
limitations of a general federal
statute.
"I appeal to the great and final
referendum of the American peo|
Pie."
LODGE POINTS OUT WAY
FOR REPUBLICAN MOVES
Massachusetts Senator Declares Policies
of Woodrow Wilson Must
Be Defeated.*
Chicago, June 8.?The country
must drive President Wilson and his
"dynasty" from power and defeat
the league of nations as he desires it,
declared Senator Henry Cabot Lodge
temporary chairman of the Republican
national convention, in his keynot
address here today.
Defending the senate's opposition
to the treaty of peace as a high ancj
patriotic duty, the senator flung
down this gauntlet:
"We make the issue; we ask approbation
for what we have done.
The people will now tell us what
they think of Mr. Wilson's league
and the sacrifice of America."
? ' ii- - ?
While empnasizmg xne puun mat
around the league must be waged
the 1920 presidential campaign, and
devoting much of his speech to arraignment
of the Wilson administration,
the senator found time to lay
before the delegates the stand of the
Republican party on other salient
problems facing the nation.
Chief among these was Mexico.
Declaring it was time for the United
States to take a firm hand in things
Mexican and end the "disgraceful
record'' of the last seven years, Sen
ator Lodge urged that this country
let the Mexicans choose as their president
some strong and upright man
who is friendly to the United States
and determined to establish order
and then lend him a real and cordial
.support.
"Mexico lies at our doors," he declared.
"It is a primary duty for
us to deal with it under the Monroe
doctrine, but nothing has been done
and yet we are asked to take a mandate
for Armenia."
- -- - . 1_ l___
Salient points maae oy ocuawi
Lodge were:
''Mr. Wilson and his dynasty, his
heirs and assigns or anybody that is
his, anybody who with bent knee
has served his purposes,% must, be
driven from all control, from all influence
upon the government of the
United States.
"They must be driven from office
and power, not because they are
Democrats, but because Mr. Wilson
stands for a theory of administration
and government which is not
American.
"The return of the Democrats to
power with Mr. Wilson or one of his
disciples still the leader and master
of a great party, which before his advent
possessed both traditions and
principles, would be a long step in
the direction of the autocracy for
which Mr. Wilson yearns and a heavy
blow to the continuance of free representative
government as we have
_i anri vpnprated it.
cllWcl V5 tuatciivu uuu
"Mr. Wilson and the autocracy he
represents, and all which those who
believe in his doctrines and share
his spirit represent, must be put
aside and conclusively excluded from
any future control.
"The defeat of the present .administration
and all it means, transcends
in importance every other
question and all immediate and dominant
issues are bound up with it.
Without that defeat every chance of
the right settlement of the mighty
questions before us, so sorely needed
now and not later, will depart.
"To maintain law and order and a
stable government where justice
rules and the right of all men, high
and low, rich and poor, shall be protected
we must have a government
of the people, duly, chosen by the
people, and never must there be permitted
any government by a single
man or by a group of men or by an
organized minority.
"Many vital economic measures
and especially protective tariff legislation
to guard our industries, are
impossible with a Democratic Free
Trader of Socialistic proclivites in
the White House. To accomplish
such measures as these, we must
have, as we intend to have, a Republican
president, in sympathy with
a Republican house and senate."
TRINITY COLLEGE IS
