ESTABLISHED 1865. NEW.BER RY, S. C,, TUESDAY, DEEBER, 1. TWICE A WEEK. $1.5 A KEAE TliE 1FFVlt' TO MOVE THE FEMALE COLLEGE. TRUsTICCs ASK OONFItCNOIC TO OIVIC TUE LICTAIN 'OWER The Text of the Itport, made-They Say titat More Roonm is Needed aund other Places Waut It. [The State, 29th.] The Laurens delegation has been working zealously in the attempt to have the Columbia Female college removed to that point. The people of Columbia have never taken such suggestions seriously. The college has valuable property here, but in case of a removal it would go at a sacrifice. But Columbia will not let it go. In years gone by Laurens was the seat of the Laurens Female college. Columbia, too, claims historic old Barhamville. Both communities are healthy, both are progressive, both are cultured. But Columbia has the advantage becau-e the institution is already located here in the centre of the State. If it is removed to Lau rens, the Williamston Female college might be crippled. While other places are wanting the college for their very own, none are making a fight for it, with the exception of Laurens. However, the matter will come up at 11 o'clock this morning and the arguments pro and con will all be heard. This was decided by the conference yesterday when the board of trustees reported the matter. Following is the text of the report of the board of trustees of the Co lumbia Female college, presnted to conference by Rev. E. 0. Watson: "The board of trustees, in session November 27, 1901, adopted the fol lowing preamble and resolutions and requested the president of their board to present the same to the con ference: "Whereas the improvement of the facilities for the education of our girls at the Columbia Female college is greatly needed; and whereas it has come to the attentin i of the board of trustees of said college that there are places in our conference desiring to secure the location of our female col lege in their midst, and proposing to make substantial offers to induce such actions; therefore, "Resolved, first, That this board respectfully requests the South Caro lina annual conference to give it au thority to open the question of the sale of the present property and to consider and determine .the propri ety of the removal of the college to another site, either in Columbia or at some other point in the confer ence. "Second, That authority be given to accept propositions from various places for the removal of thie college, with power in the said board of trus tees to accept or reject any or all of such propositions. "Third, that in the event of such removal being determined upon, the said board of trustees be authorized and empowered to sell and transfer the present property; to receive title to other property at the location cbo sen; to erect suitable buildings and generally to perform all acts neces :sary in the premises." DETERRED A YEAR. [The State.] The Columbia Female college -matter has passed over for the time 'being. The discussion of this mat ter was set for yesterday morning at 11 o'clock. Rev E. 0. Watson, chair s nan of the board of trustees read the report of the board requesting the matter to be taken 'up and put into the hands of the trustees and that they be given power to sct. Rev. Jno. A. Rice, D. D., offered as a substitute the following, signed by himself and Rev. P. F. Kilgo. "Resolved, That the board of true togs of Columbia Female college be authorised to receive propositions . fromiColumbia an I other communities for the en'argement or removal of the college, and report the same at the next session of this conference." .Mr. Watson, in commenting upon this subsitute said that the temp~er aof the college is very serious uponi this -matter. The trustees are not rash at all, but whenever attractive o'fers are made they should be given proper consideration. The substi tute offered by Dr. Rice is accepta ble to the trt"stees. The conference then adopted Dr. Rice's substitute without debate. THil: 1.11N;KITV BELL1. Preparatlion for itiltomnoval fronm P'1119" tlglpiita to UhaarlecKton lav, Al reatly lloen 1l1Egun. The "Liberty Boll" will be one of the features of the South Carolina Inter State and West Indian Exposi tion, and from the time when it. is removed from its present resting place until it is restor {d there will be all kinds of honors showered upon this famous relic. The liberty bell will be brought direct from Phila delphia to Challeston and will be ex hibited in the Philadelphia building. This will make the bell's fourth trip out of Philadelphia, within a lit tle more than a quarter of a century. Preparations for its removal have al. ready begun. The work will be at. tended with all the dignity that, na tional and civic pride demands, and the bell dear to the hearts of millions, will go out of Philadelphia to the music of bands and the march of men. The parade will not be impos ing for its size, but it will be impor tant on account of those who will have the honor of participating in it. An escort of councilmen has already been appointed. A Philadelphia safe building company will have the con tract of removing the bell to Char leston. The truck on whic,. 't will be hauled from the State House to the Penns) lvania Railroad yards will be decorated with the national colors. Six or eight horses will be attached to the truck on either side of which will stand a cordon of police. A dozen reserves, all more than six feet in height, will take their places beside t4 e bell when it is secured on the truck, and the procession will move up Chestnut to Broad street. The flat car on which it will be placed will have a railing built around it. At one end of the car there will be a cabin, to be used as a shelter for the guards. Cabin and railing will be decorated with gay colors and an in scription on the side of the car will read: "Philadelphia to Charleston." A long line of police will form a guard when the bell is being loaded on the car. The car will then be at tached to a special train containing the councilmen, city oflicials and other prominent persons who will ac company the bell on its journey. in the cities and at the intermedi ate towns and villages along the route the jounrney of the bell will be marked by patriotic demonistrat ions. Appeals are already being received by Chief Pierie, of the city property bureau, asking that the bell be sent through certain towns on the way to its destination, so that the people may voice their reverence in public festivities. The demonstrations will, no doubt, be second to those which marked the shipment of the bell to New Orleans on January 23, 1885. As the car containing the bell, guard ed by armed men, bowled through cities and towns ahurch bralls were rung, cannon boomed, music was played and people shouted. Through the night as the bell sped on, bonfires from the hillsides, farmers' milk lan terns, furnace fires and long lines of torches lighted its way. The bell was sent to Chicago in 1893 and to Atlanta in 1895. The Whit.e House Uab,y. Every American woman-and most of the men-will desire to posses a portrait of thes White House baby. All babies are precious to every right minded person; and the White Hlouse baby alert, smiling in his mother's lap, will win the hearts of all behold era at first glance. The picture, which is the frontispiece of the De cember numWier of the "National," is a handsome, full page half tone en graving, suitable for framing. Per sons who wish to obtain a copy of the magazine containing this picture should send ten cents in stamps to "The National Magazine," 41 WVest street, Boston, Mass. DAUGHTERS OF THE CONFEDERACY.

RFtl)n~ by .11.n 16targaret Evaiau, or AmtItoroo-1E4loNutnt A.1,1reis by th'n E w. Moe. [Special to News and Courier.] Sumter, November 27.1-The South Carolina Chapter, United )aughters of the Confederacy, is in annual sos sion here, the recipients of a welcome warm and true. The Daughters of the Confederacy would lind open arms and hearts in any spot in the Southland that their dainty foot might tread, but it does seem most" appropriate for these representatives of all that is truest and noblest in Southern womanhood to meet here. The "Game Cock" county of South Carolina-the home of "Fighting Dick" Anderson-the home of many brave soldiers of the Southern Con fedoracy-this indeed is congenial ground for the work which those Southern women are doing. The at tendanco this morning was unexpectedly large, about. one hun dred (1ciegates being prosent. They came from all sections of South Caro. iina-represostatives of that supreme womanhood that was the inspiration of the Grey Knights of the South ern Confederacy, whose history, for ever glorious aut. undimmed, they helped to make, whose glory they share. CAI,LE) TO OnDER. At half-past 10 o'clock Mrs. Thomas Taylor, of Columbia, Presi dent, called the mneting to order, with Mrs. Augast Kohn, of Colum bia, acting secretary. '"he Rev. H. H. Covington, of Snmtcr, made the opening prayer, earnest and eloquent, breathing-as did every address-the sacred spirit of the occasion. I-I was followed by Miss Annie Graham, who made, in behalf of Dick Ander son Chapter, United Daughters of the Confederacy, the address of wel come. This was so well done as o he hard to improve upon, cordiality and grace blending with sincerity of greeting. In behalf of the Conven tion Miss Margaret Evans, of Rt. E. Leo Chapter, Anderson, responded. Miss Evans's remarks were admirable and most. appropriate. She took oc casion in outlining the duties and work, to make an earnes., and tender appeal in behalf of the grand old Veterans and she was hoard with the closest interest and attention. 0EN'. MOISE'S ADDIRESS. Then came Gen. E. W. Moiso, who welcomed the Daughters of t.he Confederacy. Geon. Moise, eloquent orator that ho is, never spoke more thrilling words. He was greeted with applause~ as his stirring words were first ut tered; he was listened to with almost breathless interest as, ini historic retrospect, he alluded to "the only people who ever erected monuments to comnmemortae deC feat," and in the silence of eloquent tears from his listeners he closed, "invoking the spirits of the departed immortal dead of the Southern Con federacy to help direct these etisto dians of honor untarmlshed and glorious forever." Gen. Moise's ad. dress was brief, hut stirring and most patriotic. Mrs. Thomas Taylor, President, on behalf of the Convention, mxade suitable response to Geon. Moise's eloquent welcome. Mrs. Taylor spoke impressively and eiarnestly and her remarks wvere of thoughtful teni. derness and devotion. The duties and responsibilities were effectively referred to and again, in behalf of her sister3, she paid that tribute to Southern valor and chivalry that is never so dear as whon it comes from the women of the land that so many died defending. CONvENTION Ono(ANIZED., The Convention was now organ ized for business and the minutes of the last meeting were read and con firmed. The oflicers elected at last meeting a:e: Mrs. Thomas Taylor, Columbia, president; Mrs. Jame's Conner, Charleston, first vice presi. dent; Mrs. James Rancd, Rockr Hill, second vice president ; Mrs. ltobert Galbraith, Sitrttlhnl g, third vico presidenit ; MI rs.

This, now, is the hope unconquerable that is theirs; this the inviolable shade, though it belongs to the almost in. tangible realm of memory.

A good idea of sonic of the work dono by thes noble women may be gathered from the reports submitted by the various chapters. These tell of courage and loveand faithfulness; they show work for money to relieve suffering and (lost ituto Veterans; they study history relating to the watr and offer medals for the best es says on this subject from tihe school children ; they celebrato the birthday of Davis, Lee and1( Llamptoni; they give crosses of hoinor to heroes; they deniy themsel.ves to place stoues on the lowly andi unmanurked graves of our fallen heroes; they combine all the memoris-glorious atnd sad that. belong to the Lost Catuse.

All the reports from the various chaptor4 showed that line work was b)eing (1011 towards erecting a imion uiment to Jefferson Djavis, lirst andi only President of the Southern Con federacy. Everything 1has been well done by Sumter and1( her citizens in arranging for this occasion. The programos~ are as fine as ar,e gener ally seen anywhere and allI details have beeni adirab)ly in aniaged. Good work is boeing dlone, work that would bring reaults of vast imopor anieo if every interostedi one only knew its scop)e. ELECTioN OF oli1CERsi.

Senator McLaurin has the follow ing joint, resolution preparod to b int roducod in both branchos of Con gross, so as to allow foreign exhibits now at Buffalo to ho transferred to Charleston without the pa ymont of duty: "Iosolved by the Senate and Houise of Rollproentlative4 of the United States of Americat, in Con gross aisiomnblod, 'l'hat all articles which shall b imported from for eign countries, for the pulrpos" of ox. hibition at the South Carolina Iater State and Vest.
