Two of the four orators to speak at Commencement have been announced, and the other two will be selected in a few days. Bishop Theodore Bratton, of Mis sissippi, has accepted the invitation to deliver the baccalaureate sermon, and his address is being eagerly looked forward to. Bishop Bratton is a South Carolinian, a native of Fairfield county, and his visits to this State are always sources of great pleasure to his many friends. John Skelton Williams, Esq., a well known capitalist of Richmond, Va., is to be the Commencement orator. Mr. Williams is a force.ful speaker and his address will be one of great strength. Judge Memminger, who is too well known in .this State to need an intro duction, is to address the Law Asso ciation. The Y. M. C. A. speaker is yet to be selected, and will be an nounced later. Commencement Week will, as usual, be crowded with many delightful so cial affairs.
