The closing exercises of the Graded School were held in the Assembly Hall on last Fri? day morning at ll o'clock, with an audience present that could not begin to find place in the building. In fact, almost as many were unable to gain admittance as those who did. The large crowd present demonstrated two facts very clearly : That the Graded School is a popular institution and bas the friendship of the community ; and that future commce men ts must he held in some larger hall where all who attend may find seats'^ It is safe to predict now (bat tbe New Opera House will t>e filled to overflowing when the next com? mencement is held. The School building was thrown open at 10 40 and the school children marched to their class rooms, where they remained while the audaence was being seated. At ll o'clock the school marched into the Assem? bly Hall, and the program as follows, carried out: Opening Song : 3d Grade-Chorus by School.

Altamont Moses, Chairman of the Board of School Commissioners. Award of Diplomas to Graduates : Misses Bessie Lee, Emma \V. Mood and Paul? ine Gaillard and Messrs Dinkins Spann and Larkins Jennings, by Superintendent John B. Duffie. Farewell Song-By the School. ., The exercises were interesting and success? ful. The essays of Misses Lee and Mood were unusually excellent-Miss Lee's in particular. Her style bas the qualities of purity sod directness, wbich, united with an ease and facility of expression and sincerity of senti? ment, made "Beyond tbe Alps Lies Italy" something higher and stronger than tbe usual valedictory. Tbe record of the graduating class is re? markable. Misses Lee and Mood hare been oo tbe Roll of Honor every month since tbey entered tbe school, and their average for tbe past two years bas been 98 9-20 and 98 7-20, respectively. None of tbe class bave been tardy or absent, with one exception on ac? count of sickness. When it is stated that Messrs Spans and Jennings live several miles in tbe country tbe record will be recognized &9 more remarkably. There is One fact, how? ever, ic which the people of the city can take little pride, and that is, that both of the yoong men receiving diplomas live beyond tbe city limits. Out of the whole class only tbeae two persevered to tbe end. The following is the Yearly Roll of Honor, which requires an "average of?t least 95 per cent oo The year's work : 10th. grade-Misses Bessie D. Lee ?od Emma W. Mood. 9fh grade-Miss Susie Dickson, Mr. W. D.

The Commencement exercises of Lincoln School, (colored) were held io the Opera House on last Friday evening. There was a large audience present, including fifty white persons. The exercises were interesting, and reflected credit on the teacher.* of the School. The address to the graduating class was delivered by Rev. C. C. Scott, who is quite a fluent talker. There were three graduates, to whom diplomas were presented by Supt. John B. Duffie. The graduates were : Emma L. Williams, Charlotte I. Singleton and K. Gertrude Bostick. Each of the graduates read an excellent essay. The several songs and choruses were very much enjoyed by all. Tho Cnt in Freight Bates. Tbe rate war now going on between al tbe Southern railroad and steamship lines bas become so general that on yesterday the cut was extended to all interior points. The cut is a decided one and will enable the merchants to get goods from the North at much less expense than ever before. The rate per hundred pounds from Northern points to Sumter are now as follows : _Class._ 1 ..ht I 3 I 4 lb I 6 i A Boston ? Provid'ce New York & Phils.. Baltimore. Richmond.1 Norfolk.I Portsmouth.j Petersburg.j .72 .67 .65 .60 .49 .44 .42 .40 Tbe Charleston, Sumter & Northern R. R., which is not a member of the Associated Rail? ways of Virginia and the Carolinas has met the above rates. While the cut is of great benefit to the mer? chants of Sumte*? and will be taken advan? tage of by them, yet it appears that there has been an unjust discrimination against Sumter in the cut. Sumter bas not received as low rates as several other towns not as advanta? geously situated, and it is difficult to under? stand or explain the discrimination. As an example of the discrimination, the rate on goods from New York to Camden and Rock Hill may be quoted as follows: New York and Philadelphia to Rock Hill and Camden: Class- 1 2 3 4 5 6 .34 .31 .26 .21 .18 .14 It will seen by a comparison that Sumter pays about twice the rates that Camden and Rock Hill do, and it is evident that there is something wrong. LATER. ! The C. S. & N. R. R. yesterday afternoon ' i issued a circular giving the following rates on j freight from New York and Philadelphia : Class- 1 2 3 4 5 6 .34 .30 .26 .21 .17 .14 This cut gives Sumter the same rate receiv? ed by Charleston and Columbia and removes the discrimination mentioned above. The C. S. & N." is to be thanked for the lower rates. Mr. Abe Ryttenberg here and Mr. Marcus G. j Ryttenberg in New York have been at work j j for some days to secure lower rates and have ! I done much towards obtaining the reduction. ! Gardner of Charleston furnishes Kingman with Soda Water. Next door to theSimond's ! Bank. Use Excelsior Baking Powder, prepared only by Dr. A. J. China.

Belvia,' C. M. Hurst, Jr., E. D. Smith. Representatives from the remaining town? ships of the county will be added to the com? mittee as soon as the names are sent in by tbe township leagues. The Prohibitionists of this county are in earnest, and seem determined to accomplish something io a political way. It is to be boped that they will be successful, both in this county and throughout the State, for the time for reform, that is more than a hollow name/ bas come. - ? mmm Destructive Fire at Manning. MANNIHO, S. C., June 4 -Another destruc? tion of wooden buildings by fire occurred bere last night between ll and 12 o'clock. The fire commenced, in the livery building owned and occupied by Messrs. Brad ham & Thomas, and owing to the qoanity of fodder and hay they bad on band the flames spread very rapidly. In a very short time five buildings bad been destroyed, four of which were private residences. The occupants of these buildings lost a considerable amount of their house? hold goods. Raymond Wilson, colored, who lived just back of Messrs Bradham A Thomas' stable, not only l?st everything in bis boose, but came very near having all bis children consumed in the flames of bis dwelling He and his wife went off leaving ail their children secure under lock and key, as they supposed, but if it bad not been for some one (whose name I cannot learn just now) breaking the door down and pull? ing them out by force, the last of tbe four would have succumbed to the iovitable. The loss from tbe fire is roughly estimated to be between$4.000 and $5,000. Insurance is unknown. Like ali other fires occurring here this one, too, is believed to be the work of an incendiary.- Columbia Journal.
