SCHOLARSHIP FOUNDED < IN NEWBERRY COLLEGE To Be Known as the "T. P. Siins < Scholarship.''?A Former Union County Man. Editor The Newberry Observer: The gentleman who makes this contribution to the work qf Newberry college was born in Union county, S.? C., June 4, 1850, of one of the prominent Revolutionary families of the state. His father, B .F. Sims, was a director and large stockholder in the old Spartanburg and Union railroad, and at that time one of the largest slave holders and planters in Union county. When he died our generous friend, T. P. Sims, was only nine years old, and knows the trials and hardships of an orphan. In 1865, when he was only fifteen years old all his father's estate was lost through fortunes of war. His widow cd mother, grandmother and three sisters were dependent on him for support, and he without a dollar in the world. But he had what was better than money?determined energy, heroic, pluck and faith in his own manly purpose. He worked on the farm until 1873, then moved to Spartanburg and went into the flour and grain business. and won success, doing the larg. est business of its kind <Jf any house in upper South Carolina. One of his marked characteristics was his devotion to his mother, lo> alty to his friends and his uncompromising honesty in business. = This makes four scholarships of Viw ptinracter hp has founder! r?nn in Salem, N. C., the Moravian school; < one at Wofford college; one at Con- , verse college; and this at Newberry college. No church of any denomi- 4 nation lias been built in Spartanburg < for many years without a contribution from him. Though a loyal mem- 4 ber of the Methodist church for more < than forty years, he is not without sympathy and good will for ait who are striving for right, justice, truth < and heaven. i The writer is glad to have personally known T. P. Sims, and to enroll 4 him as one of our faithful friends." , S. T. Hall nan. Spartanburg, S. C. 4 Amazonian Women. !

And here is another: i "doctor's wife, middle-aged, will undertake the work of any tramway 4 conductor, coachman, shop assistant < or ot\er married worker with children. provided that worker will un- 4 iertake'.to enlist and fight for his suntry in our hour of need.

Its strenuous effects upon liver, Kidneys, and even the heart are known to every practicing physician. Medical science has found a vegetable compound that eliminates the poisons from the liver and accumulations from the bowels in a safer and saner way than does calomel and leaves no ill after-effects. This remedy in the form of GRIGSBY'S LIV-ER-LAX is a proven success. It is for sale in f)0c and $1.00 bottles by Glymnh's Pharmacy, who guarantee to refund purchase price if you want it. It is always protected by the likeness of L. K. Grigsby. "BUY-A-BOLT." If Farmers Buy Cloth Cotton Will Be in Demand. To the Editor of The State: Here is a timely one: Buy a bolt. It is better than buy a bale of cloth, as this would apply to the merchant. He is already loaded. The consumer must be reached. *Buy a bolt of cloth will reach the farmer and the majority of them are able to buy a bolt and use it to advantage. Suppose 500,000 farmers in the South would buy a bolt, see how it would affect the cloth market and = thereby affect the demand for cotton. It is well for the farmers to be thinking of how he can relieve the deadlock. I trust the papers will push this buy-a-bolt movement with the same enthusiasm that they have pushed the buy-a-bale movement and we will get permanent relief. C. P. Hammond. Spartanburg. OYSTERS!
