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.
Miss Schumpert made a beautiful and
stately Queen. She was attired in a
magnificent costume of white point
d'esprit over white satin with trim
mings of spangles, with diamonds.
She is the popular and accomplished
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. 0. L.
Schumpert, of this city.
Immediately' after the ceremonies
attending the coronation were con
cluded the Carnival Ball, given by the
Knights in honor of the Queen, began
in the Armory. The scene here was
also a most beautiful one, and memo
ries of this pleasant occasion will lin
ger long with those who were present.

NEW BUILltG FOR TB COLL.BGB.
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.

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

Bedenbeaugh, of the city police force.
Sheriff Buford wired the Sheriff of

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."

We would like to ask, through the
.olumns of your paper, if there is any
person who has used Green'a August
i'lower for the cure of Indigestion,
Dyspepsia, and Liver Troubles that has
not been cured--and we also mean their
results, such as sour stomach, fermen
tation of food, habitual costiveness,
nervous dyspepsia, headaches, desp oni
lent feelings, sleeplessness-in fact,
any trouble connected with the stom
ach or liver? This medicine has been
sold for manylyears in all civilized coun
tries, and we wish to correspond with
you and send you one of our books free
of cost. If you never tried August
Flower, try a 25 cent bottle first. We
have never known of its failing. If so,
something more serious is the matter'
with you. The 25 cent size has just
been introduced this year. Regular
size 75 cents. At all druggists.
