As the time slipped away tho people of Edgefield aud where realized more and sensibly the merit of the e tainments during the S. C. commeucement season, they i in larger numbers, and with enthusiasm, and manifested gratification and enjoyment ol occasion, by their earlier pres at another. On Tuesday morning a o'clock, the progaom was rest with a piano duet by Misses 1 Ann and Ruth Fuller, who are haps the most skilled perfon in Mrs. Bailey's music class. The declamation contest fo: gold medal by the Junior < demonstrated the good trainii the young men who were the < petitors, their names are Cs Posey and Ben Mays, and stu Charlton Lynch. Cadet Mays the happy recipient of the rei of honor, which was presentei Mr. James Willis, a visiting al nus of the S. C. C. I. The elocution class made a n ble record in competing for elocution medal. The follov are the young ladies who rx worthy efforts for the rewi Miss Pearl Harling, "The Li Cripple"; Miss Julia Anden "Too Late for the Train"; IS Carrie Morgan, "Jane's ConqueE Miss Lillian Smith, "The I Hymn"; Miss Lucretia Bruni "Angels of Buena Vista"; Miss Sheppard, "Jimmie Brown's I ter's WeddiDg"; Miss Mary I son, "The Guardian Angel" ; ? Curran Hartley, "How St. Mich? Was Saved"; Matti?; Entzmini "Ducite Snake." Miss Pearl Harling demonstra in her sweet, modest, and woma manner that recitations can made without that disagree? appearance of effort, which stroys the effect of so many adn able selections. She indeed cc prehends that the "great object art it to conceal art." No bet evidence of this can be rela than the fact that more than c in the audience were in tears, she carried them through t touching experiences of "The Cr pie Boy." Miss Julia Anderson chang the whole tenor of thought arno the listeners by describing in most humorous manner the exj. riences of a man "Too Late for t Train." Misses Curran Hartley, E Sheppard and Mary Holson we also noticeable for their excellen in rendering their selections. Mi Mary Holson was highly comp! mented by Senator Tillman ; some succeeding remarks. That exquisite and soul-inspi ing composition, "God Save tl Queen," was played in a duet b Mrs. F. N. K. Bailey and Mil Sallie Bailey, and after a selectio from the band, Rev. A.T. Jamisci of Camden, was introduced. H: address was principally to th young men, and was fittingly ir troduced by a quotation from th eminent American poet Lowel containing the idea which M: Jamison wished to dwell upoi "God Give us Men." The exhoi tation3 of Mr. Jamison all relate to development of true Christia: manhood, and was wise advic from a wise counselor. Music, which finds such univei eal response in all hearts, was her an inspiring interlude, as a sol? by Miss Ret Sheppard, and a cho rus by tAg following members o the ehorus^j?^isse%'Em Wil liams, Allie TooW, Sallie Roun tree, Maggie Bunch, and Cadeti Wade Entzmiuger and Gordoi Quattlebaum. A medal was presonted to Cade Willie Byrd for having shown th< most zealous interest in the Pie rian society during the year, anc to Lieut. Appleby for manifesting the next degree of interest. The firsl of these was presented by Ned Nicholson, Esq., of the Edgefield bar, in an unusually interesting manner, and the other by Brooks Mayson, Esq., another member of the same profession. Perhaps the most eloquent and entertaining address of ita kind was by Col. J. H. Tillman in Ms delivery of the medal to the suc . cessful contestant in the elocution class, Miss Pearl Harling. The last speaker was Senator B. R. Tillman, who was chosen to present the medal to the student who had done the best, and most faithful work during the scholastic year. Miss Julia Anderson was the happy recipientof this reward. TUESDAY AFTERNOON. Tuesday afternoon the public was invited to witness the mili tary parade, and also lo see the . ?

Two gold m were awarded, one to Cadet Millau, of Barnwell, for star longest in the competitive and to Cadet Posey, of Trei S. C" for the best military coi during the entire session. The most noticeable exhibi in the art ^department were products of the talent and sk Misses Blanch Lazzelle, of Virginia, Miss Lula Black, of terboro, and Miss Nellie Hi Edgefield. Among the yoi children some crayon drawing Miss Edwardina Blalock wer most, conspicuous for their n TUESDAY EVENING. ' Tuesday evening of the < mencement reason will ever notable event in the memor; all appreciative people who the good fortune to be presen the Oppra House. This prom to be the most enjoyable occa of commencement, a^d was b means a disappointment to audience. Mrs. Bailey and Mis? Si Bailey rewarded the happy an pations of the listeners in a . which was a most difficult c position, but ?xecuted with r vellous skillj'and evincing mus ability and genius rarely disp ed. The pupils of Miss May Pr rose have done her teaching pacity such credit that no c? ment is necessary to assure that her own effort at this t deserved many tributes of pra A recitation entitled "Jer McNeal," was by some accor the place of honor among m? excellent recitations of this i previous evenings. Miss Ri Fuller is extraordinary gifted this department of the pleas arts, us has been manifested fr her childhood. A bright, sparkling mando solo by Miss Maxcie Sheppard < tolerated the listeners, and wa novel feature of the program. Miss Lillie Sheppard cannot too highly praised for her ra] progress in musical attainmen Only a few years since she wai little tot just beginning, but frc the first has displayed a remark ble talent in this the moBtdifflci of artistic sciences. It was no) surprise that she was selected one of the pianists in a solo, ? this evening of delightful ente taiument. Miss Blanche Lazzelle, though comparative stranger in Edgefiel is still well known foi an indivi uality all her own. In Grecif costume she recited a selectic harmonizing in effect, and h gestures and movements are tl personification of grace and beaut, Combined with these her winnin gentle voice, make her magnetic ? an elocutionist. A .vocal duet by Miss Sall: Bailey and Mise Allie Toole, and I piano quartette rendered by Misse Marcie Gwaltney, Julia Torapkin Ret Sheppard, and Lillie She] pard, preceded a novel variatio in the program. The class ii physical cultun composed of young ladiee, appal elled in Grecian costumes, appea] ed on the stage in varied p jeitioni as an array of loveliness and gract which made one think of the ul iterance of Macaulay: uThere [i i nothing more beautiful than beautiful woman.'' Miss Angel Cheatham has sun; very little in public, at least befor the people of her native heath, an< their surprise and pleasure wer agreeably awakened, when she ap peared and sang so faultlessly ant brilliantly that jewel in voca music, "Star of My Heart," th? favored, selection of some of the famousprima donnas of America. After a piano duet by Mrs, Bailey and Miss Sallie Bailey, the short play called the "Mouse Trap," kept the audience in a con tinual peal of laughter. This play was another of the many amusing slanders on the bravery of women, and (shall we say it?) was greatly overdrawn (?) for who ever saw a woman run from a mouse? We are surprised that the young ladies of the faculty of the South Caro lina 'Co-Educational Institute, should so calumniate the courage of their sex; but we forget it was after all only make-believe, and they are repenting of it long since. A variation in the program was a competitive drill between the cadets and young ladies of the In stitute, the young ladies handling wooden guns. The two last ci petitore standing were Cadet 1 man Bunsh and his sister, J Maggie Buuch. The honors v won by Cadet Tillman Bur much to the chagrin of the yoi ladies, who, had their guoB b more effective weapons, mi have used them at this juncture the discomfiture of their &d\ saries. In the competitive drill foi gold medal to be awarded to best drilled young lady, Miss St? Atkinson, of Edgefield county, c ried off the honors. WEDNESDAY MORNING. When the crowd began to asse ble on Wednesday morning to tend the exercises given in hoi of the Alumni-Alumnae Assoc tion of the S. C. C. I., it was wit tender feeling of regret that t commencement season was alm< at an end. A well executed piano duet Mrs. Bailey and Miss Mini Rambo, introduced the program Misses Mary Holson and Ju Tompkios next manifested 1 results of patient faithfulness duty, and in a pleasant style, r* dered, the first, a recitation, a the snccnd apiano solo. Hon. John J. McMahan, of ( lumbia, Superintendent of Edu< tion, delivered the annual addn before th? Alumni-Alumo Assoc tion. The subject, "Why shovj the State educate?" was ably pi aented, and evinced great depth sober reflection, clearly illustrate It is not often in an address of ai kind that new ideas are conveys the variety which mases the d cussfon of most subjects accept ble and enjoyable, is in the ma uer of speaking, and in the dive sity with which the thought clothed. lu this dissertation, ho1 ever, much was said which broug into existence new views and co ceptions of education and mai the people morn earnestly conni erate for the elevation and mai tenance of the euucational stain ard. Some dashes of droll humi were scattered among the more B rious and practical truths, an made them the more palatable. A dnuble piauo trio was rende ed by Cadets McMillan and Ent: minger, Misses Mattie Lyon, Sall; Smith, Stella Atkinson, and Sall: Rountree; also a vocal quartet! by Miases Bailey and Toole, Pro Entzminger and Cadet Entzmii ger. A medal was presented to Mis Kate Sheppard for having bee present at school every day durin the session ; to Miss Stella Atkin son for standing longest in th competitive drill among the youn, ladies; to Cadet Ben Adams fo the most general improvement ii penmauship, and to Cadet B. R Griffin for special penmanship These medals were presented b; Prof. Entzminger, Capt. R. B. Cain Prof. Long, of Trenton, and Rev. P P. Blalock, respectively. A mandolin solo by Miss Maxcii Sheppard preceded the exercisei of the Alumni-Alumno Associa tion. A . essay read by Miss Anui< May Willis, of Williston, on th( "Education of Women," was muer praised for its intrinsic merit. Thif with her intelligent delivery of it did marked credit to her al mt mater. Mr. M. P. Moorer, of St. Georges an alumnus of the S. C. C. I. in ar eloquent address on ''Progress,' gave striking evidence of the un usual advantages which the S. C C. I. affords as au educational cen tre. No better object lesson than thia is needed to prove the broad, all embracing efficiency of the former and present faculty of the South Carolina Co-Educational Institute. President Bailey directed a few words in closing to the old grad uates, thau whom no others are more justly loyal and devoted to their alma mater, or its honored president. To the eighty-seven young men and women all over South Carolina and other States, who are graduates of this Institu tion, President Bailey is the ex ample of nobility and strength worthy their emulation, and his in terests are theirs. WEDNESDAY EVENING. "The stream is calmest when it nears the tide, The flowers are sweetest at eventide And the birds more musical at close of day, And friends the dearest as they pass away." j Wednesday evening was the oc casion for the largest gathering yet witnessed in the Opera House. The graduating exercises were a fitting climax to the week of enjoy ment, and was indeed the most delightful of the many delightful occasions during commencement. The graduating class consisted of the following eightyoung men and three youn? ladies : Misses Lillian Anderson, Hendersonville. S. C.; Blanche Lazzelle, Maidsvi'lr, W. Va.; Rosa Ayre, Barnwell Co., S. C.; College Adjutant J. L. Smith, Williston; Capt. S. E. Smith, Williston, Military Adjutant J. T. ?o---?g-m--- ii i ? ni i-riirit Phillipa, Willistou; Cadet T.J Dorn, Callison; Student A. ', Asbill, Johu8ton ; Lieut. Appleby St. Georges; Lieut. L. E. Cogbur and Mr. Willis, of Williston. An appropriate beginning f( what followed was a piano duo fe Mrs Bailey and Miss Myra Butl? and the commencement prop? began. Miss Lillian Anderson, saluti tsrian, recited ia a manner trai 8ceuding any previous effort whic required elocutionary powers, tl words of happy greeting. St could have written nothing i eweeter, more suitable langung? which would have better harmon ized with her melodious voici made more so even than natur created it, by culture and refine ment. College Adjutant J. L. Smitr though allowed but three minute to deliver his address; :,Successi Gained by Energy and Persevei ance," was so concise in his styl that he proved adequately in th allotted time that the statemen was wholly true, and that thes vigorous virtue-* are indispensabl to continued success. The good re suits of membership in the literar; societies were here as elsewher manifested in his clear enuncia tion, and by the perfect compos ure which characterized his pres ence before an assembly. Military Adjutant J. T. Phillipi won another laurel for himself ii his delivery of a short discourse the object of which was to verifj the necessity of strict adherence t< duty, wherever the call, whateve] the danger. Cadet T. E. Dorn, in an oratior. of which "education," was the central idea, gave evidence oj much thoughtful research, and a mind adequately appreciating the value of s ach a precious heritage. Rev. P. P. Blalock in his inimi table style played a solo on the cornet, "The heart bowed down.'3 Miss Blanche La2zelle was not less charming on ibis occasion, than in a recitation ou a previous eveu.ng during commencement. Her esf>ay was entitled "Childhood, Girlhood, Womanhood," and was a poem of beauty well suiting its fair author. Captain S. E. Smith, with a de gree of eloquence, unsurpassed by any previous or succeeding speak er, gave the history of the class of '99. This was an original compo sition, evincing unusual men tal gifts, and was an inter-: mingling of pathos and humor well blended. This young man manifests indications of promise and hope bequeathed to few, and if he never make? a better.speech than the one of last Wednesday evening, he will win the hearts cf many an assembly. J. A. Asbill, class prophet, waa the wit from whom emanated tte most humorous composition or a<V dress of the whole commencement It was humorous, because he pro phesied such wonderful and e> alted careers, for .all of his cl vi, somewhat at variance, on accourt of their youth, with their preserJt condition. And so this disserta tion will lose all its humor when it comes to pass, that Miss Lillian. Anderson, and Miss Blanche Las zelle, are the distinguished co-eA ucators, in The Lazzelle Seminary for young-ladies, when J. G. Smith is a Doctor of Medicine; J. T. Phillips, an Honorable Esquire; T. E. Dorn, a distinguished-D. D.; L. E. Cogburn, vice-President of the S. C. Ci I., J. A. Asbill, Presi-] dent of a Theological Seminary; A. J. Appleby, Governor of Cuba,] and S.E. Smith-President of the United States. The valedictory oration fell to the lot of Lieutenant Appleby, and g gave him another, but we hope not the last opportunity to ad-g dress the people of Edgefield. Lieutenant Appleby received the S. C. C. I. medal for oratory, the second time in a debate last fall, and in this last greeting he fell inf no degree below his usual standardt of excellence. ? Mendehohnu's Wedding Marot| was played in a piano quartette b by Mrs. Bailey and Miss Bailey h Mrs. Jowers and Miss Minnie a Rambo, after which the first honoi0 medal wae presented by Hon. Ja J. McMahau, to Miss Lillian An ii derson. ti I The Baccalaureate address wai ri delivered by President Bailey, af ter which Dr. Gwaltney introduc?c O. Sheppard Esq., who was wei chosen to briDg the evening's pro, gram to a close. It was an honoi to be selected on such an auspic " ious occasion to leave the fina'^ impression on the hearts of th? ci people, and a great responsibility to be placed in 'a position at onc<CJ so important and so significant. The mantle could have fallen upoiw no more influential or worthy per tc son, as his eloquent remarks de di monstrated. 0j THE BANQUET. ai . , cl At the banquet in the dining hall of the Institute, were the oh graduates of the S. C. C. I. an<d( four invited friends. Short speech tt es efter the banquet, were made b]\\ the following persons. ^ Prof. Entzminger, "S. C. C. Ifll girls." , Miss Annie May Willis, "S. Cs,i C.

E Cogburn, from the graduating exCo ercises on account of illness, wann a regret, to his many friends ii pei Edgefield and elsewhere. He ha made a splendid record in th 1 walls of the Institute, and will g-ioi forth well equipped for the battlsqi .. .' - . ' ' . '.-v'''' ii of life, which rages ahead of him, as it rages ahead of us all. Miss Marcie Gwaltney was great ly missed during the. commence ment season on account of sick ness. Her absence was peculiarly noticeable as ?he has been such an important factor in the musi cal department of the institute, and is herself a- musician of mark ed ability. The few times she was present was a gratification to her friends. VISITORS. The following .are some of the visitors who attended the com mencement of the S. C. C. I.

It was started make a schedule of 100 miles a ,y. Instead, it has made a record about 200. The machine costs ibout $,2000 now, but it is eapening fast, and in five years it j ir be everywhere where there is a cent road.
