A NEW PROFESSOR.
Collegiate Institute 4ddi Another Teacher
to Iti Faculty Picnic at Bost Mill
an Interesting Event Locals and
Personals from Mt. Pleasant.
(By A. Blackwelder )
Mt. Pleasant, July 30. Friends of
the Collegiate Institute will be inter
ested to learn that Mr. Roy Webster,
of Gaffney, S, C, hai been elected to
and accepted the chair of languages in
the institute made vacant by the resig
nation of Prof. D R Riser. Rev. Mo
Cullough had an interview with Mr.
Webster in Charldtre Friday with the
result ss stated. Mr. Webster gradu
ated from Wofford College last June
with highest honors. He brings with
him the hearty recommendations of
the entire faculty of Wofford College,
as well as that of leading educators and
professional men of his native state,
He is a son of Jas. Webster, Esq., of
Gaffney, a prominent lawyer, and one
of the most influential citizens of that
ciry. Mr. Webster's college career is
a remarkable one. Among other hon
ors won by him we note the following:
Winner of the oratorical contest of '06,
open to two hundred competitor; win
ner of the Preston eway medal, inter
collegiate debater with Furman Uni
versity; Wofford's speaker at the South
Carolina University; Preston Literary
Society representative at the centennial
celebration of South Carolina literary
societies, class historian of '06. The
Institute is very fortunate in being able
to add so strong a member to its fac
ulty. We will add that the institute's
prospects for next session are excep
tionally good.
The matter of good roads and good
bridges is a subject that never dies. On
the road to Concord are two bridges
that need attention, for they are dan
gerous those spanning Adams and
little Coldwater creeks. How "the
man on the box" on a heavily loaded
wagon has the nerve to cross them is
almost passed understanding. It is to
be hoped that nothing serious will hap
pen, yet if it does no one need be sur
prised just a plain case of neglect;
that's all.
For every kind and. condition of
weather there is a jest and t jester.
During these warm d.-ys the tendency
is to tell the jest about days when the
thermometer was at a lower ebb than
it now it, for it seems this has a cool
ing effect not unlike that of an eletric
fan. The other day the town jesters
were congregated in the drug store,
with Mr. Alex Harvell as chairman.
Cold winter hunts, especially those
about turkeys, was the subject Said
one: "The largest turkey I ever killed
was during harvest. I shot him in my
wheat fieldji threw him . across my
shoulder, and that turkey ws so large
that you could trace the mark his head
made dragging in the snow all the way
to my back door."
The young folks' picnic to Boat's
Mills was pulled off Thursday accord
ing to the , ancient forma and ceremo
nies. It was a day of doing and dar
ng. Aside from the. usual pleasures
that make these occasions noted was
he dash behind the waters or perform
ing the act of the "Maid of the Mists."
It consisted in going beneath the frame
work of the dam on the east side of
river, behind the waters as they thun
dered over head and fell but a few feet
away with a deafening , roar, crawling
over timbers, falling over, rock, until
the opposite bank was reached and the
adventurer was once more in the sun
shine of heaven. "An act to which the
writer, with many others, can add his
testimony aa being far more thrilling
and full of bruises than dangerous.
Both the cotton mills shut down
Wednesday for their usual summer
vacation and overhauling.
Mr Jat Alexander baa purchased
