Another floodgate of delightful enjoyment has been opened upon onr peaceful metropolis, towards which for many weeks bright an ticipations have cast a ruddy glow If the Sotrth Carolina Co-Educa tional Institute bad done nothing more than to afford to the people of Edgefield this commencement season of healthful a..d up-lifting pleasure, we would indeed be due a debt of gratitude, but it is not all. This wonderful Institu-, tion, haB been for two years, a blessing in our midst, and it has now become a perpetual bene diction, all our own. "Verily our lots have fallen to us in pleasant places,. yea, ours is a goodly her itage." The'Kindergarten and Primary Departments gave to the public the opening exercises of com mencement on last Friday even ing. 'The children who compose the Kindergarten school are as fol lows: Sadie Mims, Annie Canie % lon, Clifford King, Julia Folk, John Barrie, ^Miriam Norris, Jus tine Cantelou, Morrall Rice, Ethel Lanham, Nell Jones, Natalie Pad gett, and Thelma Bailey. The curtain opened upon a tableau of perfect beauty, tho beauty of young childhood, fresh and sweet, joyous and happy. The old' adage that children should be seen and not heard, is like a great many old sayings of the days that are gone, not always applicable, for the little girls and boys of the Kindergarten being both seen and heard, bestowed an indescribable treat upon, the * ^grewn up children" in the au * dience. Who has beheld a more beautiful picture or heard more de lightful sounds? The voices of the sweetest birds, tho song of the nightingale, the mocking bird's . thrilling notes, tie golden canary with his cheerful strains have never so entranced their listeners as did the innocent and merry voices of these babes of promise. The little doll drill, the marches and motion songs exhibited thor ough training in some things which are not learned exclusively if at all from books ; the training of mern ory, that wonderful faculty most keen and vigorous in childhood, the habit of concentration, and perfect system, thefje important requisites to mental development, so constantly and fatally neglect ed in the past, The child at six yoars who has not attended the Kindergarten has lost two or three year3 of golden opportunities which can never be restored. The Kindergaiten, in the edu outional line, is the greatest idea which has taken foot-hold in this advanced age, the prop r educa^ tion of the physical, social, intel lectual and moral attributes of the coming generation. The correct training of the giant oak in its in fancy or the proper attention to a young vine in its incipient growth is more important than all the trimming, cutting, aud pruning of all successive years. PRFPARATORY DEPARTMENT. The exercises of this department were opened with an instrumental trio by Misses Ellen Dunovant, Ethel Mays, and Lillie May Bailey, a declamation and elocution con test succeeded in which little An- j drew Covar,son of Mr Abner Covar, of our town, and Hattie Lou Brun son were awarded medals. A piano duett by Edwardina Blalock and Ellen Dunovant was a conspicuous and pleasing variation. The "Mother Goose" play was in | its performance a marvel of child like skill. All of the characters I in "Mother Goose" rhyme?, so fa miliar to the little ones, were per-1 sonified in a surprising and unex pected form, and all the great he roes of child fiction were also made | a part of "Mother Goose's" nu merous family. RoHnson Crusoe, | in the person of Wad Allen, car ried one back to that weird yet fascinating tale which thousands of children have pored over with excited rapture, Blue Beard and Santa Claus, Little Boy Blue and Cinderella all met in one hour of social intercourse.. The children of the Primary De partment, needed no assistance in any mode of entertainment. They furnished their own music at this part of the program in an instru mental solo by Mis.8 Mary Lillie Fisher. A recitation followed by Raven Simkins, "The Queen of the May." This little girl possesses a wonderful memory, reciting this long and trying selection with per fect readiness. A selection from the band closed the evening's en tertainment. Saturday morning al 10 o'clock the exercises of the preparatory school were continued. A decla mation contest opened the pro gram with the following little boys: Bean Walker, John Shep pard, Arnoldus Lewis, Alfred Covar, Dozier Lynch and Wad Allen. The medal was awarded to Arnoldus Lewis, who was honora bly mentioned also as standing foremost in the class room pre sided over by Miss Em Williams, tor attendance and scholarship. In the elocution contest the medals were won by Misses Madge Mays and Lillis May Bailey, both of whom exhibited much taste in this delightful accomplishment. A contest for another medal was entered into by Patilla Blalock, Buist Anderson, Ollie Ouzts, - Dunbar, Artemus Branson, and John Rainsford. The last named won the victory after a hard fought battle, but his wonderful confi dence, pleasant bearing, and ex traordinary oratory gained fer him the prolonged applause which marked him as victor. He prom ises to be a "master piece" in Edge field's future history. A medal for most punctual and regular attend ance and for best scholarship were awarded Mr. Buist Anderson and Miss Maxcie Sheppard respect ively: x DR. BROWN ON SUNDAY. Dr. C. C. Brown pastor of the church at Sumter S. C., Is known among the Baptist brotherhood as their most versatile gonius. As a humorist he is unsurpassed, distiguished for a readiness of wit, which his sober and earnest bearing would never indicate. The Con mence ment sermon of the South Carolina Co-educational Lustitute was .preached by this gentleman. His ideas were unusual and unex pected because so foreign to what a general audience anticipate in listening to what is supposed to be addressed especially to young people. The theme was the im prisonment and death of John the Baptist. His vivid immagina tion conjured up and pictured the intense sufferings of this bold rug ged and honest prophet than whom "a greater has never arisen among men," stirring many hearts to their depths, yet comforting those who, likewise suffer for Chriet's, sake with the idea that He often places His most cherished followers in the forefront of the battle, as His most valiant soldiers. A beautiful chorus opened the morning service in which Miss Eliza Mims saDg the solo. 1 Edgefield can be justly grateful that her people hold within their borders the material for all oo ca?ions. In this instance* Miss Mims exhibited a strength and . sweetness as vocalist which she has never surpassed. Miss Sallie Bailey and Mr. Gordon Quattle baum followed the sermon with a vocal duett, a soothing balm : restoring hopeful cheer to all aching and troubled hearts. The scripture lrsson of the morning was read by Rev Mr. Davis of the Methodist church, and the prayer offered by Rev Mr. Ander son of the Episcopal church.. The sermon of Sunday evening delivered by Rev. Mr. Owens, of ? Every Month there are thousands of wo men who nearly suffer death from irregular menses. Some times the " period " comes too often - sometimes not often enough-sometimes the flow is too scant, and again it is too profuse. Each symptom shows that Nature needs help,, and that there is trouble in the or gans concerned. Be careful when in any of the above con ditions. Don't take any and every nostrum advertised to cure female troubles. BRADFIELD'S FEMALE REGULATOR . is the one safe and sure medicine for irregular or pain ful menstruation. It cures all the ailments that are caused by irregularity, such as leucor rhcea, falling of the womb, nervousness ; pains in the head, back, breasts, shoulders, sides, hips and limbs. By regulating the menses so that they occur every twenty-eighth day, all those aches disappear together. Just before your time comes, get a bottle and see how much good it will do you. Druggists sell it at $i. Send (or oar free book, " Perfect Health for Women." THE BRADFIELD REGULATOR CO, ATLANTA, GA. the Methodist church of John was eloquent, and the servie the evening coustituted a del ful occasion. MONDAY MORNING. The brass bani of the S Carolina Co-Educatioual Insti though so young in years, has become so advanced in m?sica perience aud skill, that it it absolutely necessary accomr. ment to all the exercises of commencement season. The B day morning's entertainmunt opened with the delightful p: lege of listening to the heart ring music of the band, which followed by a piano duet by F. N. K. Bailey and Miss 2 Timmerman. The elocution class at this t contested for the L. R. Gwall medal and was composed of following young ladies : Miss lian Smith, "The Prayer of South;" Miss Julia Ander "Bennie's Reprieve;" Miss HA Holstoo, "Poor House Nan ;" 3 Mattie Entzminger, "Tom's Li Star;" Miss Carrie Morgan, "H kiah Bedot;" Miss McCracl "Bill, the Engineer;" Miss M Busby,' "Brought Back;" 5: Ruby Penn, " The recitation, "Bennie's prieve," by Miss Julia Ander was a difficult one, but was gi' with exceeding grr.ee and ease manner, indicating unusual tal carefully cultivated. Miss M; Holston also manifested marl gift for ?.-locution in reciting "P House Nan," a very pathetic a tedious selectiou. But this if dull old world, of ours, and I saying that ' / "Laugh end the world laughs with y Weep and you weep alone," is very often true, true at least tl once, for Miss Carrie Morgan the humorous dialect selecti "Hezekiah Bedot" gained gn applause from the audience, a by the decision of the judges w the medal, delivered by Rev. B Owens, of Johnston. The program was interspere with music. A chorus lively ai iuspiring, anda dvettby Misf Mamie and Ivey Saniere A voe treat was a gift to th J audience, sang by Misses Eloise Andersi and Minnie Rambe. The you Lg men of the Soph more class next competed for \. J. C. Sheppard medal. Mr. B. '. Thames with his accustomed ze and enthusiasm delivered tl "Addreps to the Romane." M W. D. Roberts in his speech c "Our Future and Our Respon? bility" displayed a promise i early development as au oral o Mr. . L. D. White in deliverii "Lee's Surrender" impressed h hearers with his gift for publ speaking. Robert Eutzminger fo lowed and almost convinced tl audience that he would receive tr. medal, but not so. The judges sa fit to present this reward of hone to Mr. W. D. Roberte, which wt delivered by Dr. C. C. Browi whose presentation address to th young men was full of wit an wholesome encouragement. MONDAY NIGHT. The opening performance c Monday evening was a bright an sparkling piano fextette by Misse Sudie Davi6, Eva Calvin, Doni Black, Sophie Huggins, Stella At kinson, and Sue Williams. One of the most charming addi tionB to the commencement is th chorus class. It is impossible ti find words to describe beautifu music. Its swelling notes mus reach each individual hear through its own medium. Thi chorus "Woodland Nymphs" s< exquisitely sang o: Monday even ing was a tribute to Miss Bailey') unsurpassed capacity as a teachei of voice. A declamation by Mr. AsbiL was another enjoyable feature ol the evening's pleasant entertain ment. This declamation was s hietory of South Carolina during all the great crises of American history, from the Revolution?r war to the late wnr with Spain, and the subject was well handled and spoken with a decided touch of eloquence. The debate between the Gwalt uey and Pierian Literary Societiee took place at this time with a young lady from the Fidelian So ciety on both sides of the debate. The first speaker was Mr. Wade Entzminger on the affirmative, the query being: "Resolved, That the future prospects of the South are greater, than those of the West." Mr. Entzminger is a good speaker and in the beginning won the good feeling of the audience by his flashes of wit. ;lhe negative was next represented by Mr. Willie Byrd, who is considered one of the best speakers of the Pierian So ciety. The succeeding speakers were Miss Lillian Smith and Mr. M. G. Smith, on the affirmative, and Miss Sue Williams and Mr. Hardy on the negative. The speech of Mr. Hardy was one of the most thoughtful and. practical of the evening, full of beantiful ideas well expressed. His gestures and bear ing were full of ease and grace, and he is an ornament to the society to which he belongs. The medal was won by Miss Lillian Smith, as having best represented the sub ject, and the honors were carried off by the members of the Gwult ney Literary Society. The medal was presented by Rev. R. A. Marsh, of Ridge Spring. On Friday evening last it was a great disappointment to many friends of Edgefield that two piano solos were necessarily orr it It'd from the program, The ami ie e was delighted to have the oppor tunity to listrn during Monday evening's entertainment to little Misses Ellen Dunovaut and Ed wardina Blaloek. Edward i na i.:> only nine years ?ld, but has in herited and developed a wonder lui talent for the sublime science of music. It is said that the or dinal y mortal does not see any thing especie.lly wonderful in the great inventions, electrical an 1 otherwise, of the famous Mr. Edi sou or other inventors; it is those alone who have become somewhat skilled in this remarkable science who exclaim in astonishment and awe at the attainment* of the cele brated genius. It is so in music. The person who has never made a study bf music thinks petcLauce that he or she in ft short time could surpass the jumble o' sounds which to.them is mere confusion. But not so, for behind all this com bination of melodious tones stand work, courago and heart. It is no easy task to become a performer as little Edwardina has become in so short a time. Ellen Duuovant displayed the same manifestations of work and perseverance and as the years roll by with the development of those tender sentiments of| heart and soul which the study of music also cultivates, will become a reward to herself in the acquired delights which the knowledge of music will bring to her. A much encored selection was a soul stir ring vocal duett by Misses Leila Hamilton aud Lucretia Branson. The final feature of the even ing's program was a unique one. A vocal solo by Miss Eloiso Anderson, with 'the accompaniment of the band. Miss Anderson possesea a contralto voice of wonderful sweatness, inimitable in its melo diousness and lichnesB of tone. The hand made adelightfull accompa niment, which perhaps could have suited no other voice so well. (Concluded next week.) The Coming ofBaby brings ;c/ or pain. It's for the I mother to decide.

J. E. & L. A. LUKE. & Met?io? According to Nature The experiments of modern phy sicians and scientists have sstablished the fact that many of the germs of disease enter the body by the inhalation of air laden with bacteria or microbes. These germs are very small but'their work is deadly. Still many of them are comparatively harmless in health; but as soon as an organ is diseased it is attacked. Tho experimets of Koch and others have shed much light upon this important subject But up to the present time the culture of bacteria appears to have met with much better success than thei: destruction. As we can do so little to destroy these minute enemies, is not the most sensible course to strengthen and revitalize the system so that it may repel and resipt their destructive in fluence, and does it not seem very fitting that the revitalizing element should enter the body through inhalation of oxgen which is at once a revitalizer and germicide?
