And -a $cautfh and- Statcy Queen Was She-Mr. Welch's Remarks--The Cor onation Ball. Miss Thyra Schumper, Queen of the Carnival given by the Knights of Py thias in this city last week, was crowned Friday night. The coronation, which was held in the opera house, was de cidedly the feature of the week. The voting for the Queen up until the elev enth hour had been very slow, but at the final count Miss Schumpert had re ceived about six hundred votes and was far in the lead, Miss Maud Font being second. The Queen selected as her maids Misses Maud Fant, maid of honor, Bessie Gil der and Myrtie Schumert-maids wor thy of a beautiful Queen. Perhaps the opera house has never held- a prettier scene than the ceremony attending the coronation Friday night. The Knights and their ladies were lined on either side of the stage. The Queen, preceded by her maids, entered from the rear. Misses Gilder and Myrtie Schumpert led, followed by Miss Fant, bearing the crown. The crown was placed upon the royal head by Maj. Robt. H. Welch, who in a few appro priate remarks proclaimed Miss Schum pert.the Queen of the Carnival, of the Knights and their friends, and of New berry. Mr. Welch spoke as follows: MR. wELCH'S ADDRESS. Ladies, Gentlemen and Knights: We have met tonight to celebrate a mo mentous occ.asion, the crowning of the Queen of thisCarnival. This is a memento of the eventful age "When Knighthood Was in Flower." We owe a great deal to that age- to that age that found wo man the slave of man, that made her the dewn and peace of his mind and raised her upon a pinnacle and there maintained her and restored to her her birthright, and made her the equal of than, her partner in life. The Knights of those days thought there was noth ing grander for them than the smile of their Queen. They made of slave the woman we have today, and that woman we have today has made the manhood of today. (Applause). When those chivalrous Knights made a woman their Queen, she made of man a gentleman, and until that time he be lieved not in himself, in his fellows, nor in his God. Today he is self-respecting, respects his fellow-man and believes in God. We owe that to the Knights which this occasion calls to mind. The . Knights have mt here on this occasion to crown their Queen. They have with them their friends, whose Queen she is also, for she is our Queen; Queen of us all. It affords me great pleasure, in the name of the Knights of Pythias of Newberry and their friends, to crown you as their Queen. (Ap plause). And now I have the honor, in the name of these Knights and their friends, to proclaim you their Queen. And, Sir Knights, do you pay her the respect and honor of 3 our Queen.

Standing - Comnittee Directs President Cromer to Begin Canvas for $25,000. At a meeting of the Standing Com mittee of Newberry College held Satur day definite action was taken looking towards the erection of a new building for the college, and President Cromer was directed to make a canvas for $25,000 to be used for this put pose. It is expected that work on the pro posed new building will begin in the ear ly spring. A meeting of the Board of Trustees will be held on the 17th of the present month to decide upon the exact cost and character of the building. It will contain recitation rooms, auditorium and society halls. This will permit the use of the old building exclusively for dormitories. Mr. Frank P. Milburn, of Columbia, was selected as architect to prepare plans and specifications. This action by the Standing Commit tee is in accordance with the resolution passed by the South Carolina Synod in its session hold at Little Mountain in October of last year, authorizing the Board of Trustees to "put into operation plans looking to the errection of a new building cn the college cam us." The proposed new buil has be come a necessity. The colle has out grown its present quarters, and must have a larger and better equipment if there is to be any futher growth. The old building is too small and is particula ly unsuitable for the use to which it is now being put. It is an excellent build ing for domitories, but if the college is to do the character of work which it is seeking to do, it must have better and more suitable recitation rooms and society halls, and the only way to secure them is to errect a new building. President Cromer will begin his canvas the latter part of the month. During his absence Prof. W. K. Sligh will act as president. WANTED IN SPARTANBURG. Frank Frye Arrested On the Charge of Shooting Will Gunter. Frank Frye, a young white man of about 23 years of age, was arrested on Main street Saturday night, charged with having shot Will Gunter at Ar lington, in Spartanburg county about the middle of December. Frye came to Newberry several days ago. About the same time Sheriff 13u ford received a letter in which the shooting was mentioned. From this he got a clue and a sharp lookout was kept for Frye by the sheriff and the police force. About 9 o'clock Sunday night the arrest was made by Messrs. C. D. Tidwell and W. P. Bedenbeaugh, of the city police force. Sheriff Buford wired the Sheriff of Spartanburg county telling him of the capture, and received an answer asking that the prisoner be held. Frye was engaged with Mr. Granby in the erection of the Mollohon mill last year and is known in Newberry. He claimed that he camne here last week from Camden.. He Escaped In Vain. Carl Etheridge, a white man who was sentenced by Mayor Earhardt to thirty days upon the chaingang escaped from the guard house on Sunday night. He was captured at Jalaps, yesterday morn ing.

It was on this charge he was arrested and plead ed guilty. He was sentenced to thirty days on the gang. Sarah Ethel Todd. "Thou hast all seasons for thine own, oh, Death!" Often how unexpectedly our loved ones are taken from us. How sad and painful it is to part with children who give us so much pleasure. Little Sarah Ethel Todd began her earthly pilgrimage August 11, 1897, and October 13, 1902, her soul gently winged its flight to Heaven. She was a beautiful and loving child, the pride and idol of her relatives and friends. Though deeply grieved we must bear our sorrow with obedience to the Divine will. We cannot understand the mys teries of God's plans. "If, sometimes, comnminledj with life's wine, We find the wormwood, and rebel and shrink, Be sure a wiser hand than yours or mine, Pours out this potion for our lips to drink. And if some friend we love is lying low Where human kisses cannot reach his face, 0, do not blame the loving Father so, But wear your sorrow with obedient grace, And you shall shortly know that length ened breath Is not the sweetest gift God sends hIs friend."
