We did not know till your last week's ed
torlal appeared tbat there way any doubt <
question an to when and where the last mee
log of Jefferson Davis Cabinet was bel>
Most certainly It was held at Abbeville, On!
live of bis Cabinet officers were with blm i
Abbeville, and some of these were not wit
blm at Washington Georgia. In an accoui
given by Davis himself of his captnre, alt
crossing ibeSavatiab River and before read
ing Washington. Mr. Davis says, "I hailed t
a farm bouse to get breakfast and have 01
horses fed, bere the secretary of State, M
Benjamiu being unaccustomed to travelic
on horseback parted irom me. Mr. Breckii
ridge has remained with the Cavalry at tt
crossing of the Savanah River, I saw no moi
of General Breckinridge. Mr. Mallory left a
In Washington to place bis family In safety
ice. 80 It would appear that two, and perbai
three of the five of his Cabinet that were wit
blm at Abbeville had left him before read
ing Washington. They all seemed more coi
cerned about their safety from capture tha
la holding Cabinet zueetiugs or Councils <
War.
With these and other proofs to the contrar
It would be ditfcult to establish the clali
that the last cablnat meeUng was held 1
Washington. Georgia.
Now a word as to the date of Preside:
Davis' arrival at Abbeville. Your clipplr
from the Press and Banner of 188(1 says : *'M
Davis, the President of the Southern Conlei
eracy In blB retreat across the country ulti
tb<e tall ot Richmond, arrived in Abbevil
about the )si day of May, 1805, about 10 a. m
aud left about 12 p. rn." There in, we feel sui
a little mistake In the above date. Davis an
bis cabinet without a doubt in our mind a
rived lu Abbeville on lbe3rd day of May, 1SH
I have a memoranda of some of the even
which occurred during: the dying days of it
Confederacy. Among other things it r
cords the last roll call of my Regiment c
the morning of April 30th, 1KA>, at Chesti
C. H., and of my reaching home on the l>
day ot May, 1845, but without this record thi
date is as indelibly fixed in my mind as
the date of the entrance of Bonham's brigac
In the trenches at "Mitchell's Ford," to flgt
the first battle of Bull Run, In 1801. A day <
two after my arrival home, a report was cl
culat-ed that Davis was expected in Abbevil
and that a fight would lake place there,
went to Abbeville, but Mr. Davis aud pari
bad left Abbeville the night before. As
further corroboration of ihe statement Ibi
Davis reached Abbeville on the 3rd day
May, We find iu President Davis'ou
account of his capture the following: "Aft

The door receipts were sixty dollars. The t
evening passed otr quickly and pleasantly,
there being no delay between each piece. The
- "Brownies Drill," tlrst on the program was i
amusing, aud especially the Doctor's scene. *
The play "Down by the Sea." was a perlect j
success. Each of the young actors carried his j
part perfectly and aflorded great amusement j
o to the audience by their witty speeches,
j. Then came two songs which were well re- n
celved. The "Jollyi Tars" looked very hand8
some In their sailor suits. These were follow- r
ed by the Soldier boys who were so well drilled
by Master Jack Harden they received a
hearty encore. After the boys had taken so
conspiclous a part it was only fitting that tbe *
girls should have a share. Their part proved
to he a flag drill which was very beautiful _
Q and was splendidly executed. The girls carry- ^
n lug tbe flags of different nations, were dressed j
. in white and wore ribbous to match the flag
which they carried. j
s Last on the tlrst part ol the program came a \
3- song by the girls of the eighth and ninth

H. Daniel, tlie report of tbe Trustees was read J
by tbe chairman, Mr. J. A. Harris.
Then followed music on the mandolin and

I- Mattie Jennings. These young' people bad t
e practiced tbe music they gave us for some- s
b time,and It was greatly appreciated by tbe e
audience. 1
First came the Class History, by Miss Nell a
Edwards. Beginning with tbe first year of s
tbe Graded School 1892, she traced the class ]
e through the subsequent seven years. The r
'* class then numbered forty-five, whereas bat a
e six of the number were on the stage as gradu- i
ales. Some amusing incidents were cited t
and many of the upsand downs of the class a
r- narrated. 1
y The stage was beautifully decorated with t
il palms, ferns, and flowers which formed abackground
lor, the sweet girl graduates, all g
o gowned In purest white.
e All were Interested in this History and Miss (
Edwards showed herself well able to handle c
her subfecl. Next followed Miss Fannie fc
" Cason In an able paper on Elements of p
" Strength In the American Union. Miss
Cason's paper was well prepared and was s
y listened to with close attention. Miss e
Gertrude Moore's essay on Women In Amerla
can Literature was well received. Miss Moore c
confined herself to no sectlou of the country, i
but Introduced us to many women who well t
I rlocerua nnr notice and study. MISS Ma/.le
Casou tbeu defined for us The White Man's 1
Burden, beginning with a quotation from tbe )
oow famous Rudyard Kipling. Miss Caaon <j
t was fortunate In ber choice of a subject for It
Is one In wblcb all are Interested at present, fc
Miss Monle Sign's paper on tbe Need of tbe c
South, was a very practical one. She urged j
tbe establishment of technological schools all
over tbe land, that our boys might make use j
of the abundant resources or our country, a
In ber essay on Life's Great Battlefield, Miss
Lillian Gambrell showed herself to be a fluent fc
b writer and seemed to justify the class prophet t
' who predicted a literary future lor her. Next j
>, name Miss Sarah White's essay on Ethical
Value of Literature was replete with beautl* t
ful thougnta and Introduced to us some of the c
3 years of literature as the beaullflers of the j
' world. Tbe class prophecy written by Miss
Annie Bradley was interesting and amusing, t
Ibe audience was all attention for each one ]
wished to learn the fate of the fair gir's there
assembled. Next came the address by Presi* g
dent Geo. B. Cromer ol Newberry College, t
President Cromer's subject was the Need ol c
1. Preparation for all lines of work. This he
said was one or the greatest neeus of tbe couu- s
j try. All should seize tbe opportunity nearest i
' aucl WllU me euu uesireu in view i?icoa uu w u
the goal. Many practical suggestions were
given to tbo?e starling In life. President li
Cromer received splendid attention which at- 'I
tested the appreciation with which tbe ad* t
dress was received by tbe audience. c
The presentation or the diplomas by SuperIntehdent
Qllllara followed the address. Mr. f
Oil 11am attested the real sorrow which It (
caused him to part with the class and he c
wished for them all tbe highest success in v
life.

You Will Xever be Sorry.
"You*wiTT 'never "be' Sorry for serving
the Jjord ; you may be sorry for almost
everything else. Hays Joseph
Berry:
"There are men and women who deolnre
their reeret at almost everv steD
in life they have taken. I could find
married people who tell you they wish
they had never been married, and sin'
pie people who tell you they wished
they had ; I could find carpenters who
, would say, 'The worst trade you could
put a boy at is a carpenters', and doctors
who would say, 'Better be a cbim!
ney sweep than a doctorand I could
find a chimney-sweep who would say,
'Better be anything than a cbimneyi
sweep; mine is the dirtiest trade going.'
Now I am going to throw out a
1 challenge: Will someone find me a
, person who will say, 'I wish I had
never loved Christ?' Blessed be God,
you can't do it; the consecrated 'life

"The <tnccn I Home."
1 Honor the dear old mother. Time
has scattered snowy flakes on her
brow, plowed deep furrows on her
! cheeks, but is she not sweet and beaur
tiful now? The lips are thin and
. shrunken, but those are the lips
1 which have kissed a hot tear from the
: childish cheeks, and they are the
, sweetest lips in the world. The eye is
; dim, yet it glows with the soft radi"
ance that can never fade. Ah, yes,
she is a dear old mother. The sands
J of life are nearly run out, but, leeble
as she is, she will go futher and reach
; down lower for you thau any other
upon earth. You cannot enter a pris!
on whose bars will keep her out. You
I can never mount a scaffold too high
fnr her tn rennh Miftt sihft mav kiflp and
t bless you in evidence of her deathless
' love. When the world shall despise
, and forsake you; when it leaves you
t by the wayside to die unnoticed, the
r dear old mother will gather you in
i her feeble arms and carry you home
, and tell you all your virtues until you
almost forget your soul is disfigured
, by vices. Love her tenderly and
i, cheer her declining years with holj
i devotion.

r ... Reading.
Some one has said that reading is
like eating, and may be a very good or
a very bad thing. Unless thers is wis
dotii in the choice of both the materal
' it?eif and the time and method of its
i using, neither reading nor eating is
1 commendable or safe. It i3 true you
. must separate the chaff from the wheat
^ by thinkiog. It is not always the
1 amount we read that impresses the
r mind, but it is improved by thinking
. and analyzing what we read. It is
not the greatest eaters wbo are the
. strongest and healthiest. A man may
t indulge his appetite until he becomes
' a gormandizer, and he is surfeited ; so
one may read until it becomes a kind
. of mauia. Then he reads only to grat!
ify that wanton desire to read. He
. has no aim or purpose, do definite end
. in his reading, but still he reads
1 everything that he can lay his hands
' on. To be benefited by reailing one
i must have a purpose, and choose his
, reading to meet the demands of that
; purpose.
