The closing exercises of South Carolina Co-Educatic Institute, began in the Op House on Friday evening of '. week. This first evening of commencement Beasoa wae devc to the primary department, which are many bright, beauti and promising children, who m ifested an unusual degree of tellgerce in their rendition of various selections assigned them, Thu full house seemed inspiration, aud they appeared their different roles, nothi daunted by the crowd, nor 1 strangers that were in their mid The initial selection on the p gram was a drill called the "G sip Pantomime," participated by fourte en little girls. It is hop that these will not learu the ha of gossip as readily as they leai ed to act it. These little lassies were all rayed in robes of brown lin unique and striking, with wh neck shawls aud caps, and th wholly disproved the adage tb "fine feathers make fine birdi for though their costumes we plain as plain could be, they nev looked sweeter, and it is drabtl if they ever will. Their little ey petped at us through epectacb and made them look sober, but i miuded one to hope that the ripening years would make no c cli?e in the innocency of the faces. But little girls can't do evei thing, as Dozier Lynch appear next on the program to prove ii: recitation called "Why Girls Cai Whistle." It was well he provi this, for the audience was begi ning tb think that little girls cou do everything. Dozier is au iuci ient orator as he has shown mo than once. His enunciation is cle and distinct, which is the all ii portant requisite for a good spea er, and it is combined with a mo esty of manner well becoming m turer years. Two other recitations were re dered by Misses Ruby Crim ai Mary Lillie Fisher, entitled "Mi Edith Helps Things Along," ar "The Gray Swan." The mr.Bical program consiste of Apiano duet by Ellen Dun vant and Edwardiua Blaloci piano duet, Lillie May Bailey ac Ethel Mays; piano solo Mary Li lie Fisher; piano solo, Edwardir. Blalock; trio, Edwardina Blaloc' Mary Lillie Fisher, and El?e Dunovant. The duet by Lillie May Baile and Ethel Mays, an? the kio, wei especially noticeable and showe much skill and faithful practic for such little girls. For the mos of them, this was their first ap pearance on the stage as pianisti The little opera in three acts eu . titled "Grandpa's Birthday" gav an opportunity to all theprimarie to have a portion in the exercises and to Prof. Entzminger to make i very benevolent looking grane father. The children were so lovell in their youthful fairylike cos turnes that had they done nothin? more than appear on the stage, thi audience would have been en chanted, but they seemed so mucl at home and so natural in theil child-like simplicity that one could ecarcelv believe they were acting at all. After music by the band, whicr. has now become so popular that il needs no comment, the most ex citing event of the evening took place, the contest for medals, foi the best speaker among the fol lowing boys: Lester Broadwater. Artemus Branson, Patillo Bla locck, Frank Jones, and Bean Walker, and the most excellent recitation from the following girls : Lutile Holson, Ruby Crim/ and Fannie Bellinger. The judges, Dr. Robert Marsh, Prof. Lucas, and Rev. Mr. McRoy, could not come to an agreement as to who should win the reward, so the decision was postponed to be announced on Monday. The sweet strains of Dixie ended the program for the evening, and tho crowded house was soon emp tied of many delighted people, who only awaited an early oppor tunity to return for another season of refreshment. On Friday evening the Institute Suuday-school extended an invi tation to all the young people of the town to meet with them on Sunday morning in the Opera House, Accordingly at the ap pointed hour, not only all the Sun day-schools, but the many who generally do not eas* in their lot with this noble organization, found time and the inclination to lend their pre8<;nce. The music for this occasion was very fine, consisting tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiimiiiiimiiimiiiiiimi XDEMEN1 ?UTH CAROLINA CO ? INSTITUTE. ??IIIiiiiiiimiiiiiiif IIIiiiiiiiciiiiiiiiifinr ni: 111; 11 of two pianos, at which Mrs. Ba and Miss Sallie Bailey presii j and about twenty voices, coin pc of the students and teachers of Institute. The opening prayer made by Mr. J. R. Tompkins, the address by Rev. Mr. May 1 the Presbyterian church, was quent and contained sound ad^ on the aim and woik of the Sund school. May the many lister profit by the emanations from brainof this faithful, consecra minister of Christ. THE COMMENCEMENT SERMON, The commencement sermon \ preceded by music, and prayer Dr. L. R. Gwaltney. The ann sermon was delivered by Rev. '. Derrieux, of the First Ba,)! church of Spartanburg, who vited the congregation to. listec some thoughts gathered fr Ephesians 6:13, "Wherefore j on the whole armour of God, tl ye mav be able to withstand in 1 evil day, and having done all, stand." This thrilling discourse was 1 tened to by veterans in the an of God, many recruits, and so: who had stood aloof and uei yielded their homage to the gn King, the King of righteousne but all Christians were made m< keenly alive to the urgent noe sity for action in the mighty b tie of truth against the errors "priucipaliiies and powers," a the influence of "wicked spirits high places." Christians becai more determined to enter vigi ously into the conflict, and to pla the triumphant, all couqueri banner of the ( ross, wherever Sat reigns, and sin destroys. It is ha to do justice to the eloquence of t tongue. All musical instrumei are immixtions of the hum? voice, but none have ever equuii it, and though the pen is said to mightier than the sword, it w never mighty enough to fully, ac quately, describe tho eloquence a great speaker." Nothing can this, but another voice and mil equally as eloquent. The la3t chorus by the ch o "Rock of Ages/' was a beautif refrain, well suited to close so e joyable an occasion. SUNDAY NIGHT. The sermon on *Sunday evenir, was preached by Rev. Mr. Daniel pastor of the First Baptist churc of Abbeville. He was introduce to the audience in fitting remarl by Rev. McRoy. His discoun was prophetic of the twentient century, the great mystic ag which is now beginning, and w< full of progress and expansion ; b some of the congregation was sai to be the finest sermon they ha ever heard. Beautiful anthems b the college chorus class were sun at the /beginning and eud of th J services. FRESHMAN AND SOPHOMORE CLASSE! Monday morning at 9.30 o'cloc the exercises o? the Freshman an< Sophomore classes delighted an other assembly. The first item OJ the program was a piano p et b; Mrs. Jowers and Miss Maggi Bunch, a charming introduction ti a few hours of profitable eujoy ment. The^ contest for the R. B. Cair medal was competed for by th< following six young gentlemen ol the Freshman class : Corp'l V. S Maree, of Charleston ; Cadet D. B Thames of Packsville; Corp'l B K. Grifi?u. of Walterboro; Cade! R. C. Lackey,of Packsville; Cadel R. F. McCrackau, of Langley; Cadet John Floyd, of Lenoir. Though all these young men were complimented, the medal .vae won by Cadet R. F. McCrackau, who is princeps facilis. Some one remarked that he could have won the medal had he competed with the Sophomore class, and even the judges themselves might w.ill have quailed in the contest. This medal was presented by Gen. T. W. Car wile, of Edgefield, who among other things said to Mr. McCrackau, that if he continued as he had be gun, he would become one cf the orators of his day. This, however, is not first that has been known of Mr. McCrackau. In Columbia at the late B. Y. P. U. convention, be was said to have delivered the finest address on the floor, though perhaps the youngest speaker in the body. The band afforded much thrill ing pleasuie to the audience in ono of Mr. BlalocR'B compositions, all of which are maked by the same suitableness to the cornet, and; melodious-harmony to the ear of the listeners. f A well selected vocal du?t by J Miss Williams and Mrs. Bailey j was next on the program. The piaao quartette tv Misses Faunie Sheppard, Ret Sheppard, Mary Holeon and Lillie Sheppard, was one of the aiost attractive aud beautiful pianoforte selections on the program. Considerable taste was displayed by Miss Lillie Shep pard in her rendering of the treble on the first piano. A brilliant musical career is predicted for her. Another piano duet was render ed by M?SSPS Julia Anderson, of Spartauburg, and Sallie Rountree, of Williaton. The declamation contest for the J. C. Sheppard medal was entered into by a number of young men in the Sophomore class, viz: Cadet Calhoun Mays, of Edgefield ; Cadet Arthur Mays, of Edgefield ; Sergt Ben Herndou, of Walterboro ; Stu dent YV. C. Baxley, of Barnwell ; Cadet Wade Entzminger, of Ker-! shaw; Cadet Sloraan, of Hender-1 Bonville, S. C. ; Sergt Gordon Quattlebaum, of Wincsboro; Corpl Joe Carwile, of Edgefield; Sergt YV. A. Byrd, of Self, S. C. The medal in this class was won by Mr. Quattlebaum, who only en tered the contest a few hours be fore, aud 01 that account won to himself the mere fame. This medal was delivered by Hon. N. G. Evans, of Edgefield, in extremely appropriate and becoming lan guage. He assured the young men that they all did well, indeed he remarked that it had been v? ry hard to come to a decision. His ambition, ho said, had always been to be a judge, but if all jases were as hard to decide upon as this oue, he would early resigu his position. After his delivery ol' th" medal all were in the pleasantest spirits, and the defeated ones bore their dis appointment wreathed with smiles, and were further cheered and en couraged by a spirited SJIK by thc chorus c'ass, and mush by the band. Rev. Mr. McRoy was then called upon to deliver, the medals to th< chosen ones in the primary class who von the laurels on Friday evening. These medals were pre setted to little Miss Leona Crim and Beau Walker. THE LITERARY SOCIETIES. The annual celebration of the S.C.C. I. literary societies took place in the Opera House on Mon day evening. The favorable im pression o? the people grows in in tensity, in fact the South Caroliua Co-Educational Institute has cap tured the whole town, as well as (numerous representatives from the county and many parts of tho State. The flkill and judgment of President Bailey and the teachers of the Institute in training and de veloping the young along all lines is marvellous, and unexcelled by any school or corps of teachers in South Carolina or elsewhere. The evening's entertainment be gan with a piano quartette by Misses Mary,A.nn and Ruth Fuller, Miss Em Williams and Miss Myra Butler, a brilliant composition, made more excellout by its happy performance. Miss Em Williams sang a vocal solo, which found many apprecia tiveears in the audience, and was so well suited to her rhymthical voice that it was by some thought to be her best effort. The judges were selected to de cide upon the wiunine side in the debate, the querry being, "Should immigration be encouraged," and also to award a medal to the beBt speaker among the debaters. The affirmative side was represented by Miss Julia Anderson and Cadet Wade Entzminger, the negative by Miss Julia Tompkins and Cadet Ben Mays. Gov. J. C. Sheppard was selected aB chairman of the committee to present tho medal, which was awarded Miss Julia An derson. Mr. Sheppard said that he had had a checkered and not unimportant experience in a great many delicate matters, but he had never felt more puzzled in any previous situatiou as to what choice to make, as the subject had been preseuted in such a manner that agreat many older and wisor heads might well emulate their (the debaters) example with profit. A piano quartette next found a welcomed hearing, The performr ers were Misses Zana Timmerman, Nellie Hill, Mattie Entzminger and Sallie Walker. A very bright duet was sung by Misses Sallie Walker and Myra Butler, which was much admired, but not more admired than the lovely faces which formed its suit ing complement, i Miss DeLoach read an excellent His Life Was Saved. Mr. J. E. Lilly, a prominent ci ?zen of Hannibal, Mo., lately had a wonder ful deliverance from a frightful death. In telling ol' it he says : "I was taken with Typhoid Fever, that run into Pneumonia. My lungs became hardened. I was so weak I couldn't even sit up in beri. Nothing helped me. I expected to soon die of Con sumption, when 1 heard of Dr. King's New Discovery. One bottle gave great relief. 1 continued to use it, and now am well and strong, I can't say too "much in i ;s praise.', This marvellous medicine is the surest and quickest cure in the world for ul!

Trial bottles free at all Drug Stores; every bottle guaranteed. essay, entitled, "Au Aim in Life,1* which was read with such intelli gence of expression and clear enunciation, that she held the close attention of the audience throughout. The humorous selection read by Miss Marion Hill, entitled the "Ship of Faith," demonstrated her happy faculty of properly inter preting dialect, which is enjoyed by so many and well read by BO tow. Misses Sallie Parker and Fannie Sheppard proved* their musical taste and skill in a piano duet. These young ladies have manifest ed their own faithfulness, as well as the efficiency of their teacher. The most amusing event of the evening was a little play in which Capt. Cain and the following young ladies of the elocution CIUBB had apart: Misses Ruth Fuller, Mattie Eutzmiuger, Curran Hart ley, Mary Holson and Ret Shep pard. This play was a semblance of the conduct of young ladies during Leap Year. Capt. Cain, as the only victim'of their wiles, found that such trying circum stances needed no feigning to prove their reality, aud it became the most natural thing in the world to flee at every opportunity. A vocal quartette by Prof. Entz miuger, Cadet Wade Entzminger, Cadet Gordon Quattlebaum and M?6S Allie Toole, was a humorous selection heartily encored. A recitation by Miss Mattie Entzminger followed by music by the bund closed the evening's en tertainment. No Right To Ugliness.
