TUESDAY MORNING.'
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.

Miss Lillian Smith, "The I

"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.

was invited to witness the mili

were awarded, one to Cadet

TUESDAY EVENING. '

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

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

wending their way homeward. Co
The absence of Lieutenant L. 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.

A. B. Williams, editor of the
reenvilb News, writes from New
Drk to his paper on the horseless
rriage :
The automobile, or horseless
rriage, from Cleveland, Ohio,
ll be here today. 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. I would like to be on
e first one that runs over into
estern North Carolina, and htar
e comments of the people over
ere on seeing a carriage running
jug over the road at 12 miles an
ur with no noise and no visible
opelliug power-no smoke or
ichinery in sight. As I under
tnd, the automobile can run up
ll about as well as down, and
ides make no difference ; but it
n not do much in mud or where
ts are deep or road3 are lumpy
rocky. I judge if ono of them
d been started along Buncombe
eet in Greenville .it would be
;ro yet.
