With the distribution of promotion caids to the pupils Tuesday morning, the 1916-17 session of the Kingstree High and Graded school was concluded, and with the usual regrets (?) teachers and scholars laid aside their tasks at this temple of learning until September next. The exercises throughout were admirably rendered, and the large audiences derived mucn pleasure and profit therefrom. The first number on the programme, which was carried out as published in the last issue of The Record, was held Friday night, being an expression contest among the girls and an oratorical contest among the boys. The prizes in each case were a blue ribbon for the best paper and a white ribbon for the second best. Both in matter! and delivery, all the papers were excellent,and the judges,J D O'Bryan, Esq, Mr Sam P Stackley and Mrs T S Hemingway, awarded "the blue ribbon among the girls to Maud Allene Kinder,whose article was, "Uncle Remus at the Telephone." Annie Frierson won the white ribbon on "Uncle Remus'Church Experience." Among the boys. Ruskin McConnell was given the blue ribbon on "The High Water Mark of the Civil War" and the white ribbon went to Hubert Speigner, whose subject was, "Excerpts from President Wilson's Speech to Congress." Mr O'Bryan delivered the decision of the judges. At 11 o'clock Sunday morning the auditorium was crowded, many coming from a distance. The sermon was preached by Rev J H Graves of Camden and pleased all his hearers. Speaking from the words, "Buy the truth and sell it not," he vigorously attacked certain popular fallacies, u?i. :? n*:? ursi. umiiuiK ssupcrsLiLiuu, nmcu uc showed to be utterly inconsistent with belief in Providence. He then demolished the theory that education alone promotes morality, showing J that at one time South Carolina, j with 42 per cent of illiteracy, had 23 criminals to every 100,000 inhabitants, while Massachusetts, with 12 per cent of illiteracy, had 123 criminals to every 100,000 of population. He made a stirring plea for reading the Bible in all public schools. He referred to Gen Robert E Lee's refusal to accept $50,000 for the use of his name as president of a New ?ork insurance company, saying,"A man who accepts that for which he renders no justequivalentisa thief." He urged his hearers to follow the same high standard. Mr Graves expressed deep appreciation of the numerous attentions the Kipgstree people are showing the Camden troops guarding the railroad bridge below town. Rev A E Riemer made the invocation and read a selection from the fifth chapter of St Matthew, Rev D A Phillips offered prayer and Mr >M?/vMAnnAArl tkn konA^i/lflAn uiovca pi uuuuuvcu vuc uvuwuiwivu, A selected choir from the various churches of the town rendered sweet music. Monday evening the people of the community enjoyed an intellectual feast they will long remember. This was the address of Dr W S Currell, president of the University of South Carolina. He possesses a delightful voice and charming personality and held the undivided attention of his auditors to the end. Remarkably adaptable.he was listened to with interest and profit by the youngest child and the oldest adult and all in between. His sparkling wit added greatly to the effectiveness ol the solid truths so well presented. Dr Currell's return to Kingstree at any time will be warmly welcomed. The other features of the evening were also very interesting, especially the drills by the little ones, wnose proficiency reflected the highest credit upon themselves and their faithful teachers. The faculty and pupils of this school have finished a year of good work but hope to make 1917-18 the best ever known. The following pupils have been present and on time every day for the year just ended: Grade 1?Margaret Burgess,Steele Singleton, Mildred Miller. Grade 3?Elizabeth Swails, W E Nesmith.

Raising More Grain in Williamsburg. Mr W H Carr, of the Kingstree Hdwe Co,tells us that ne nas aireaay sold and put up for farmers in this section three big binders, which the purchasers will operate in harvesting their wheat and oats crop this season. Heretofore this type of harvesting J machinery was in very little demand because so few of our farmers planted enough small grain to justify the purchase of binders. We are heartily in favor of more grain raising; first, more wheat, second,more oats, and third,more rye, because the food and commercial value of the rye straw is much lower than that of wheat and oats. There is nothing much better than a rousing big wheat straw stack to turn your cattle to in the winter when there is nothing in the pastures for them to feed upon.
