A 8EKI-AN' IAL DIVIDEND. The f(wberry Cotten Mills Dodde to Go Ahead With the New Baiting. The Board of Directors of the New berry Cotton Mille held a meeting on last Saturday. A semi-annual dividend of 4 per cent. was declared payable on and after the first of January. It was also decided to go ahead with the new building in the early spring, and to Increase the capital stock from $250.000 to $400,000-3 per cent., or $52,500 to be paid in by -the first of July. The present stock holders are given the privilege of subscribing this new stock, but if they do not take it, others will be given a chance. The contract for the stone founda tion is about completed. The contract for the new building has not yet been let. It is expected to have the new build ing completed by the early fall, and by the first of January, 1895, the hum of new machinery will be heard. This has bees a successful enterprise and is worth much to our town and community. A Progressive Mayor. A correspondent of the Gate City Chronicle has the following coxupli mentary words relative to. Mayor 'or rest Lake, of Sanford, Fla;: "I have read with interest the en dorsement of Mayor La1:e contained in your last issue, and I heartily join you and your correspondent in the senti ment expressed. He has probably made fewer mistakes than most Mayors make during a first year's experience, and certainly hasdevoted himself vig orously and conscientioasl his pub lic duties, demonstrating a remarkable degree of executive ability and moral courage, and has conducted the affairs of the city, during one of the most important periods in its history, with brilliant success. Let hi be renom inated, of course, and re-elected. Why not? The moral tone of Sanford has been raised to a hit h standard and all its interests, that be could touch or in fluence, have been proteted and en hanced under his administration-he is fearless, able, impartial, and faithful in the discharge of his duty, the con fidence of the citizens and the outside public is established in him and in the city with him at its head, and what more can we ask? "We have just voted bonds, and we want and need just such confidence to materially aid in disposing of the bonds and .in the carrying forward of the great publice risee in contemp lation. Mayor Lake tie first Mayor under whom bonds were ever "carried," and much of the sgccesaofar, was due to his influence and :iesltance .in thle management of the scheme. Well,now that he hab helped so materially to get us into this desirable "scrspe," let ua hold on to him and make, him help as through with it. There ,is no sense in swapping horses when you have just the one you want." The testimonials which the mail brings in every day run' thus: "Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup cured the baby of croup." "It cured meof a most distrese ing cough;" or "it cured my little boy of sore-throat." "We could. not do without it." New itrm. Messrs. Edward B.

The Plans Adopted for the New Building a Newberry Con1ege. The "Science Hall" on the Collegi campus will be a neat and substantia building. It will be built of brick, au( will stand between the Southern wiu of the College building and the Alumn house. The plans show that it will bI 40x70 feet. On the first floor will bo the College chapel, 30x40 feet. In rew of the chapel will be the laboratory anc another room for the use of classe studying chemistry. On the seconc floor, there will be a large room iufronI for the library of the college, and in thu rear a smaller room for the museum. A tower with a belfry will grace thq northwest corner of the building. Thf stairway to the second floor will bE under the tower. The building is the best that can b built for $5,000, which is the sum pro posed to be raised for its erection. I1 will be commodious, and afford a con venient place for the library and th museum of the college, as well as a mor commodious chapel, the preseni one being entirely too small to accom modate the students now at the col. is a very desirable plan and one that will meet the present needs of the college. About half of the amount necessary to erect the building is in hand, and the standing committee are confidenl that- the whole amount will be raised promptly, and they are going forward with the work. Holiday Happenings Around St. Phifliip The holidays are -over, the first of January, 1894, is here, and the watch word of the laborer is "Root pig or die.' But hold! one of our neighbors spent severaf.of the holidays "rooting' big oats under the soil. May he harvest many sheaves. Frank postoffice will soon be a thing of the past unless a postmaster or po&tmistress is appointed. The undersigoed made good use of his eyes last Wednesday night at a pathering at the residence of Mr. Willie Ruff, and there's many more who did the same, for who is he that had the power or the desire to turn his back when South Carolin 's newly adopted daught~er from the State of "Old Vir ginny"~appeared on the floor and . held the audience entranced in amazement and admiration by her wonderful dex terity in the art of dancing. The young folks danced several sets and seemed to enjoy themselves. The cele brated fiddlers, Aull, Boland and Ruff, were the musicians. ' A host of our young men went sere adingChristmas night, and my! what time they did have-so I am told eating. pies, custards, cakes, pindars and drinking blackberry acid. Ab! iut I am sorry for those who were not with them, as well as for some of thee wh were.The next time they go, and pindars are set before them, I hope they won't "crowd out" the little fel low. in the crokersack breeches, Per rect soberness and good behavior pre vailed.fpom the beginning to the end. 'here'*ere between twelveand fifteen raise-faces in the crowd, no two alike, all shockingly handsome, and lovely to look upon. They were marched by twos from place to place under the leadership of their dashing young cap tain,.J. B. Halfacre. A cake-walk and a dance was givan t.tbe residence of Mr. W. F. Ruff last Thursday nighit. Mr. Julius Koon and Missfila Sense won the cake.~ They divided it with their frienda who were engaged in the walk. A fine cake it Money is the most influential 'agent n earth. We all know what an infiu ene-it exercised over Old Santa Claus, foris distributions among..us were hit indeed.. But-Isuppose he based b partiaiyon the great financial de. --has mashed our-pocket kaas -iat as ?tater-fritters. It is evident that if the "silver lin'ng" to the dark -cloud. of financial distress which has so~long overshadowed us oes .not soon disappear the- same "press," as above merftioned, will be empoed to reduce the*aereage of cot ton. Thn, as th~e wis, men say, cotton wHi "g up" rations will "comedown"; our cebooks will grow'fat; the eye baiof.the specula:or will stick out like fingers; old Santa Claus will be more liberal and silTnshine and happinese will pervade'thetland. Rev. J. D.- Bowles preached an ex cellent sermon on Christmas eve at 8t. Phillip's. A large congregation was present.. The subject of his discourse was the o$igin and meaning of Christ man The following are a few extracts in e6btance from the sermon:- He said that h% took~ the subject of Christ ms becausehe.thought it mustjbe the subject that was. uppermost in the minds of the peoplle. He: told of. the creation, exaltation, and fall of man. The sentence of death was passed upon him, buta saviour wan promised. Then hetold 6f Christ promse, Cbrstypi fled and Chrlst's advent into the world. The fulfillment of his mission and his suffring and death on the cross an an atonement for the sins of those whc should believe on him as predicted by theprophets 6f old, thus showing the connection or relation between the Old and the New Testaments. Then he told how Christmas should and should not be celebrated. That It was righi andproper to give presents, provided they were sincerely presented instead of being.given for the simple purpose of making a show or display; that a sincere gift wasemblematical of Christ, the great gift of God to man. That there is no harm in making a Christ, mas dinner and inviting our friends tc come and dine with us so long as every thing was carriedon in a cheerful but piour manner; that we should not-af is generally the case-get drunk and blaspheme and go to balls and say "Christmas comes but once a year, and let's enjoy it while its her ." He said that there was another silly habit which we ought to abandon, and thal was deceiving the children by making them believe that such a being as Santa Claus really exists, because it was set. ting a bad example, for as soon as thb child found that he had been deceivec -which he certainly would-he w'ouk probably come-to the conclusion thal there was no harm in telling "'stories,' been."pa"' and "ma" told 'e~m That a chitd&weskk be just as proud o aresent ifhe was tol&that his' pa ol hi~a.aOit tohim as to ten hia that old 8a~. s brought it to his and thereby tell a; falchood, etc. hear that he has several converts 01 the Santa Claus question.

The Christmas chimney and its al tendant features was a delight to ol and youngaiikeat the Lutheran chure on Tuesday night, 26th. The chimne looked cosy and attractive with th lightedlChristmas candlesticks on eithe side-and the polished brass andiron made it appear just like a real chirm ney. Santa -Claus never looked mor like his inimitable sanctity than he dik on this occasion in thb person of Mr H. A. McCullough, who got himself u in fine style as to physique, adornmen and the use of the vernacular. Th fairy captivated everybody. She wa a real fairy, if ever there was one. He sweet little voice was that of a fairy and with her golden slippers whici carried her from near to distan countries-slippers prettier by far thai the "goloshes of fortune" that dear ol Hans Christian Andersen tells littlc children about-she came upon th scene so quickly and did her palt a elegantly, and was gone, it is no wonde that the bricks in the chimney,- to th great relief of Santa Claus, were turnec into boxes of candy for the children b3 the magic of her wish and her wand The fairy was Marguerite, the nine year old daughter of Mr. Geo. B. Cro mer. Master Lawson Goggans gave the audience a sermon -on bricks, whici was well spoken, and Bessie Schum" pert extended a Qhristmas greeting it a splendid manner. '-These parts werc previous to the appearing of Santi Claus and the fairy. The music and the other service o Tthe festival was "Our Guiding Star,' so well adapted to Christmas celebra tions. An offering of $14 S0 was made fo: the Sea Island sufferers. THE P.ESBYTERIAN SUNDAY-SCHOOL The members of the Presbyterlat Sabbath-school, together with their pa rents and invited friends, had a jolly gcod time Monday evening in the ar mory. The exercises were of a nove character, very humorous and enter 'taining." Instead of the usual Xmas tree, a "Christmas chimney" was con structed, presumably of real brick, but as subsequently appeared, only looked like brick. Santa Claus, personated by W. E Pelham, is at his last stoyping place without anything in his bag, having already distributed his toys, goodies, etc., throughout all the world, hardly having enough to go around-he is in a dilemma, as good children are before him, all having assembled expecting some present from Santa. Luckily Fairy Good Cheer, represented by Misu Jeanne Peiham, had promised Santa a year before to come to his aid when. ever desired, it would not matter hou far distant from Santa she might be, Santa remembers the promise- blown his goreden whistle, .when Fairy Good Cheer apgeasi, and by the useof hei magic wand converts allthe brick'eamn posing thwehimney into boxes, eacho whibbh was full of "good things."
