WEDNESDAY, JUKE 6, 1894. The Sumter Watchman was founded in 18W and the True Southron in 1866. The Watchman and Southron new has the combined circulation and influence of both of the ohTpapers, and is mani? festly the best advertising medium in Sumter EDITORIAL NOTES. An article published oo one of oor outside pages seems to dispose of the charges of mismanagement, against the Ked ; Cross Society. However it may be, the lied Cross oas don? a wonderful work in the Sea_ Ie ?aocta, and should receive due reeogouipu for what it bas done. Il would be more to the pa at this time if the people of the State would unite in sending relief to the BJufftoo sufferers instead of blaming the Red Cress. Those, people at Bluffton are now io need of bread, and as yet little baa been done for them. In accordance with the resolutions recently passed by the Republican State Executive Committee, the ease for testing tbs constitutionality of the registration law of this State, was brought before the Supreme Court on last Monday en a writ of Mandamus, ana* W. W. Macon, the supervisor of registration for Richland County, was ordered to snow cause on Monday next why he should not open hie books for the purpose of receiving the application for registration of the par,ty complain? ing. For the information of our readers we may sty that at present the law sbuts out from registration all except those who after each general election, beginning with that of 1882 have be? come entitled to register. This shuts out many who are as much entitled to Tote as those who have provided them? selves with certificates, and there are,' besides, many other injustices and inequalities ia the law as it now stands, which should be remedied. Cal Caugbman has announced him? self a candidate for Congress from this district. How he and that other dis? tinguished refawmer and persistent office seeker, J. William Stokes, will harmonize their conflicting ambitions is somewhat of a problem, but their row is not our row, and we do not care bow much they quarrel. Caugbman is a bad fellow. His boast that be led the Lexington lynchers should make bim an impossibility as a Congressional candidate with all law respecting peo? ple. As for the Hon. J. Wm . he is a humbug, pure and simple. He has been doing his level best to ride into office through the alliance influence for a long time, fortunately .without success, however, but he does uot give up easily, and will this year make a deeper ate effort. We are for Izlar. and that Sis why the Stokes-Caugbman row does .'-?net wevry os. The Institute Commencement. The Aw>uar Concert of the Sumter Institute ~ 'yass fteTd io the Institute Hall last evening. As usual, tbe audience filled the ball to over *' flowing. The faces of tbe Alumnae of the In? stitute were to be seen on every side, and . tbe familiar face? of other days brought to mind the man j pleasant evenings spent in the Insti? tute ball on similar occasions Tbe past bas ' its charm, and a retrospective view is ever the most partial, but notwithstanding thia, v tbe verdict of everyone was that tbe pro? gramme last evening was one of the most vcbavmtog ever given at the Instil?te. "ike music was all of the highest class, and the execution.sod technique of the young ladies approached quite near the desired per? fection, The "Allegro" by Miss Mamie Fra? ser, aad "Waltz op. 491," by Miss Mamie Id Brands were tbe features of tbe programme. Misses Gertrude Jennings, Bessie Jervey .nd Bessie Pittman quite charmed their hear? ers io their recitals. The programme waa as follows: FAST I.

The interval was devoted to j the inspection of the numerous paintings, ! pastels, water colors and crayon-the work of j the art pupils which adorned the walls. The j art exhibit this year ?3 of a marked degree of excellence, and there is a notable difference j in the style of work and in the subjects treat-1 ed from those of last year. For the conven- j ience of visitors Maj. Wilson bad a printed catalogue of the art exhibit prepared, which was indeed a convenience, and enabled critics to obtain a mach more complete and intelli? gent conception of the amount and character ot the work accomplished by the young la? dies since the opening of the session last Sep Tbe regalar programme was most in? teresting and held the undivided attention of tbe large audience from the first number till the last notes of the "Overture" died away amid the half suppressed sighs of regress of all that a morning of the keenest pleasure was at an end. Tbe Graduates ! What is left to be said of them? They were as charming and as seriously happy over the completion of their school life and realization of their new duties and.responsibilities as any class of sweet girl graduates that bas ever graced the rostrom of the Institute and went forth, with its motto as a part of their life's heritage. They were simply, yet so becomingly attired in gowns oi" white. As they stood to receive their diplomas from the hands of President Wilson they presented a picture of pure, chaste, earnest young womanhood, cultured and ready for the daily duties of life. Such as these are the inspiration of tbe youth and the hope of the age our ?and. Miss Agnes MeCailum w*s the. historian of tbs Class. Her''address-was; in excellent taste, and briefly but comprehensively reviewed the story .of the college life of the class of :94. She told of Cupid'.3 .three...successful raids upon their number, and triced their var} log fortunes through the yeats of their under? graduate career. Not moreeveotfol, perhaps, tbao that of many another class, Miss McCaHom managed to invest its history with an interest that held the unflagging attention of the .large auditory throughout its deli? very,; and gained for her deserved applause. In the role of the class prophet, ' Hiss Bessie Pittman won fresh laurels, and showed her? self possessed of the-foresight of the trae seer. Mis3 DeLorme, according to the fair priestess of the modern Delphic oracle, was to emerge ??Q glory, as ao actress or a dash og soubrette whose advent should be. heralded byr drams, ira mpet a and ba o he ra, and the plaudits of the'populace as she proceeded on ber triumph? ant way. Miss Madeline Fraser's re roi a tiona ry career was to invest ber with the robes of the priest? hood of ber chosen choreo, in which she was to drive through a large rent in the thirty? nine articles, and -oby aa voe with Pauline restrictions OD the subjec-; of woman's silence io the churches. Miss Ham was to develop into Sister Angli ca, the inmate of the cloisters of a Florentine convent, in sight "of the' brae waters of the Mediterranean, and in the midst of, bot apart from, the fashionable throngs of the Riviera. -Miss Boonie Brown, true to the impulses of ber warm and glowing Bohemianism, was to efect?ate as. a "merry, mercy Zingara/' amid^the^i ve gloves of sonny Spain, land of -mystery and -dream, where-the Alhambra's ! splendid courts told of the magnificent exu- { berance of the Moors' architectural genius, and sub-tropical wealth of sunshine disposed tc.dreams .by day, and its silvery goddess , of oigbt wooed to. moonlit mysteries. ? ;, Miss Helen Bro wa's complete evolution was a trifle.vague, as it seemed to us, bat its vagueness did not do away with the interest of it,, for ..we- are prepared, .for. a n y th in g f rom : tbt?n de sleek girl, and it was . sufficiently stated w?fjj&?Helen would;, rn n aj^e;siort ofeatablishment in the character of manager, perhaps such ao one as Bellamy portraped in " Looking Backward,'.' .or as Ignatius Don? nelly describes in one of bis prophetic inter? pretations of (tbe events of the twentieth ceo Perhaps the most startling and amazing i development was to take place io the chaste and modest Miss AgoefMcCollom, who was ? to joio the noble band of short-haired women and thrill the country with: her? diatribes on the subjection ofwomen. The'climax was to come io her candidacy for the Presidency of j this great republic on the most ad ra need Woman's. Rights platform. ; Tbe-most regretable feature, yetna una? voidable one, was tbe failure of the fair priest- 1 ess to portray ber owo future. Perhaps a less gifted pen may essay the pleasing task, I and be pardoned for the presumption. Miss Pittman's future ts what she may choose to j make it Gifted beyond the common, ambi- , lions ,(perhaps we should better say, aspir- . iug) it- would be . an instance. of arrested development were she to permit ber education - to cease at tbis point. Difficulties must not ; dei er her, nor. a glimpse from the vestibule { into the interior of art's great temple satisfy ber-let ber go oo aod penetrate its great aisles aod approach its very sanctuary, until love-of ber hidden mysteries unfold them to , ber diligent search, and the goddess crown her as a chosen interpreter of her innermost secret. The failure of Gen. Leroy F, Youmans to be present and deliver the Annual address < was a great disappointment. From him we , always expect and receivean intellectual feast. t As an orator be stands to-day without a com? peer in the State, a worthy and illustrious successor to Carolina's orators of ante-bel? lum days. He wa9 unavoidably detained by profession?! engagements and will not arrive until tbis eveuing. He will deliver his ad- . dress this evening at 8.30 o'clock. The presentation of medals was by W. H. Ingram, Esq., in a happy and appropriate manner. His words were not many, but to the point and well chosen. The scholarship medals were won by Miss Kate DeLorme in che Collegiate Department, Miss Selma Nash - in the Primary Department and Miss Bessie Pittman io the Art School. ; President H. Frank Wilsen in presenting f tbe diplomas to the graduating class made a , feeling and eloquent, though brief, address. ( 9e impressed upon bis hearers the lesson that , diligence and sustained, concentrated effort ' ire the only roads by which the goal of life's , lourney-success-may be attained. ( The young ladies who received the honors f ?>f graduation were : Misses .Kale DeLorme, Agnes McCall um, , Bonnie Brown, Helen Brown, Lizzie Ham, , Bessie Pittman and Madeline Fraser.

CANDIDATES'GARDS. FOR SCHOOL COMMISSIONER. Having confidence in my ability to perform acceptably ..nd efficiently the duties of the position, I announce myself as a candidate for the office of County School Commissioner, subject to the action of our democratic pri? maries. Believing that the office of School Commissioner is in no sense a political one, but that, for. the. best interests of the whole people, it should be removed as far as possi? ble.from the strife and bitterness of party faction, I shall solicit the.votes of ail of those who feel themselves interested ic the canee of popular education, and in the advancement and continued improvement of our public schools. Character, capability, and fitness for the efficient performance of official duty, should be the tests required, and, judged by those standards, I shall hope to merit tbe votes of roy fellow-citizens.
