VOLUME LVII, NUMBER 45 NEWBERRY, S. C., TUESDAY, JUNE 7, 1921. TWICE A WEEK, $2.00 A YEAR COMMENCEMENT AT NEWBERRY COLLEGE DR. JACOBS DELIVERS GREAT MESSAGE TO GRADUATES Dr. Luther Kuhns Has Pleasure in ^ Return to Scenes of Boyhood. Delivers Eloquent Address ( The annual commencement exercis- . es of Newberry college began Sunday ^ morhing, June 5, 1921, with the baccalaureate services in the opera house ( the sermon being delivered by the < Rev. Carlisle M. Jacobs, D. D., of s Philadelphia, Pa. Vases and baskets of beautiful daisies, easter lilies and handsome . palms on tables and pedestals adorned the platform, as well as Newberry college pennants and the blue and gold banner of the class sof 1921. * J ( The twenty-three graduates in their caps and gowns occupied special seats * in the parquet and the rest of the hall and. balconies were entirely filled by the throngs of interested people. Dr. C. A. Freed, paster of the Lu A 1% ^ , 5 theran Church or the Keaeemer, conducted the services, which were open- ' ed with an anthem, DeKoven's "Re- \ cessional," which was beautifully ren- ' dered by a large chorus with Mrs. E. B. Setzler at the piano. The first hymn, "0 Worship the * King," was sung by the congregation who stood as the last verse was begun. After the responsive reading and j repetition of the creed, the lesson r from 1st John, 3rd chapter was read j* by Dr. Freed. This was followed by i prayer by Dr. Freed and the hymn, j J "In the Cross of Christ I Glory," was v sung by the congregation. The baccataureate sermon was de- v livered by Dr. C. M. Jacobs and was i6 a masterpiece in theme and oratory. * His text was taken from Philippians, J 3rd chapter, 20th verse: "For our 1 conversation is in heaven,'' translat- c ing this more freely as Christian or Heavenly Citizenship, which was a j * most timely subject. Couched in j * simple, though ibeau" fful .language, i? his words conveyed to the graduates j * an'd others commonsense, practical c truths drawn from this text as affect- 2 ing all phases of life. Dr. Jacobs said that the conscious- f ness of heavenly citizenship helps 1 men and women to place the proper * value on material things as compared * with things that endure, and that tne i~ only standard of values by which a i * thing may be rightly judged is the j * law of Jesus Christ; his second ap-;v plication of the text was that hesfcven- J ly citizenship affects the whole of a IG man's life and not simply a part ofjc it?that the law of heavenly citizen- j% ship must apply to his home life, his j a business life and his political life, and v in this connection he said .at no c social evil could be corrected except s on the basis of the heavenly law; his s next thought was that heavenly citizenship gives the standard by which c -"-i-1-- m!ii- hp indeed ^ earuuy ciw6cnouiy ~ ^ that the solution of many problems of a today are depending more and more c on educated men and women, but that education that is not balanced by } character is a menace. He spoke ofj: the need of putting God first in our ^ hearts, and our country second to c have a prosperous nation, and that 1 the only way to prevent wirs is to have the Prince of Peace in our -1 hearts when the earth shall be fall a - * ' --e T ~y.A ia Of ttlG glory 01 uie Liuiu. , . The sermon was followed by the Lord's prayer, after which tne offer-, ^ lug was taken, during which a solo, "0 Divine Redeemer," by Gounod, k was beautifully sung by Mrs. J. 0. Willson of Spartanburg. j Announcements were made by Dr. I j. Derrick, followed by the hymn, "The j c Son of God Goes Forth to-War."j( Benedict:on was pronounced by Dr. ! > Jacobs. j a The address before the Youn?ir . i Men's Christian association oi Aew-|r bery college was made in the opera j I house Sunday evening by Dr. L. M. > Kuhns of Omaha, Nebraska. j., ! c Dr. Kuhns was introduced by Dr. ! J. M. Kibler, who was a classmate of j ' Dr. Kuhns in the early days of their,? college life. Dr. Kibler referred very I j. nleasantly to the father of Dr. Kuhns, i 1 X the Rev. H. W. Kuhns, who, as pastor _ of the Lutheran church in Newberry, t was instrumental in having Newberry f college relocated from Walhalla to f its present location; ft PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS , |t PROSPEROUS PROSPERITY r .

MANNING GUILTY! ! NEGRO FARM B033 SENTENCED TO PRiSOiN j Defendant Again Fells His Sicry of Killing Negroes on Williams' Farm Ccvingtcn, Ca., May 31.?Clyde {Manning:, ne^ro farm bo33 for John S. j Williams, was convicted of murder in :superior court here late today and 'sentenced to life imprisonment?th& isame sentence passed on Williams when he was convicted here a short time a.eo.

The jury was out 35 minutes ant! then returned the same verdict as that of the Williams jury?murder with recommendation for mercy, which automatically carried a life .term. E. Marvin Underwood, em i ployed by a group of Georgians to ; represent Manning, made a motion for a new trial and Judge John B. Ilutcheson fixed the hearing for July 30 at Decatur. Williams is al.-o seeki I | ing a new trial. ! Manning was tried on the specific; charsre of the murder of Lindsey Pe i terson, of whose murder Williams, was convicted and today he calmly related | the story he told at the Williams trial, claiming he and another negro killed 11 farm hands on Williams' orders.' ! Later Manning claims tci have slain I the other negro. Peterson and two j j other negroes v?re alleged to have, 1 been brought into ihis county at, night from the Jasper county farmf and drowned. I Under Georgia law Manning could not have been held accountable had he been able to convince the jury he killed the men through fear for his own life and the defense based its case on this while the state sought to show the negro was "a willing accomplice." ?^ Another Body to Arrive Mr. J.

As a result truck farming is claiming the farmers' attention, many acres of truck having been planted and already marketed. Watermelons are looking fine and it now appears that shipments can be made by the first of July, which will be about two weeks sooner than usual. The sweet < ? ?

The farmers as a whole have little ready money but practically owe ' nctfie and having learned to live art home are in better condition as a whole than ever before in the history of Jasper county. If diversification of crops makes progress in the next year as rapid as it has in the past', to see cotton growing will be a curiosity in this section of the state.
