Ere these lines shall be read, the South Carolina Co-Educational Institute will have closed its doors for the season, and the bright faces which made Edgefield a sunnier town and a happier abid ing place, will have scattered their smiles and cheer over South Caro line, and other States. What is read wili only be a lingering rem niscence of a delightful past whioh finite minds would feign recall and live over again. But if we hold it not in our grasp, as the preeent, it is at least secure to us, fqr the past is our own. Nothing can drive away the gleam of satis faction and pleasure which re main to us, and nothing will sup plant it in the memory till we possess a successor to it ?rom the same happy source.. Our hopes are quickened by the idea that the students who leave Edgefield, in pondering their past will be so T?u&m' by its magnetic influence that the future will grant them all to us again, when the South Caro lina Co-Educational Institute be gins its next session on the last Thursday in September, 1900. TUESDAY MORNING, The piano quartette opening the morning entertainment was ren dered by Misses Madge Mays, Maxcie Sheppard, Flossie Morrall, and Mary Lillie Fisher. The gold medal offered to the best declaimer in the intermediate claBS was competed for by the fol lowing young men : Messrs Hardy, "Pride of a Nation;" Wade Entz minger;" Robert Emmett's Last Speech;" Alonzo McMillan, "Lib erty and Union;" Gordon Quat tlebaum, "Return of the Confed erate Soldier;" Mr. Bailey, "Ed ucation." The race in the contest was hardly won, but the judges de cided that, the reward was due to Mr. Quattlebaum. i The high order of musical taste, and capacity exhibited during the entertainments does magnificent homage to the Institution, a mani festation of this was a piane quar tette by MisseB Curran Hartley, Sallie Parker, Ret Sheppard, and Julia Tompkins. The address of th J day was made by Senator Aldrich, of Barn well, who n:ade a deep impression on the people of Edgefield by his wonderful evidences of a profound mind, and his eloquent utterances His face indicates a perfecct sin cerity and a masterful courage. Senator Aldrich did honor to him self and to Edgefield in giving them his best, and he did not over estimate his audience for he was appreciated. Having ably dis cussed the subject of education in general and the schools of South Carolina in particular, chiefly the South Carolina College and Clem son College, he congratulated the citizens of Edgefield on the "cen tre of learning" among them. He said that "the commodious and handsome structure which is now used as the South Carolina Co EducatioDai Institute had been built for purposes of business. Happy and fortunate for the peo ple of Edgefield this business en terprise failed, and that providence brought to Edgefield that :Achiles of education, President F. N. K. | Bailey/ . Marat, the French j philosopher, once said that one idea was worth more than a thou sand lives. What then can he said of him who causes to flow foi th ten thousand thoughts whence not one has come before? Edgefield can do nothing less than yield5 honor, continual honor, to this great man," A piano solo by. Miss- Ret; Shep pard and a duett by Misses Wil liams and Sallie Rbuntree con* eluded the morning's enjoyments TUEBDAY' AFTEBNOON. ' ' Tuesday afternoon at 6 o'clock the public was invited to witness the military parade on the. square, and this broad invitation was zeal ously accepted, as the cloudB of dust and crowds of people who were on the street fully exemplified. The annual concert took place on Tuesday evening, which waB the only entertainment for which an admission fee was- asked. It seem ed that this charge for admission gave a peculiar zest to the occasion, and if possible, the hall r/as more crowded than at any previous en tertainment. An instrumental sex tette by Misses Eloise Anderson, Mattie Entzminger, Leila Hamil ton, Zana Timmerman, Bertha ! Briggs, and Sallie Rountree was I the fir?t feature of the program. Tableaux were interspersed among the other enjoyable events of the evening, one of which was called "Jacob's Ladder," composed of the little children of the Kin dergarten, a beautiful "represen tation of the angels of light, with whom only babes in this world can be compared. Miss Lillie Sheppard is rapidly becoming a brilliant performer on the piano. A solo requiring both skillful technique, and musical soul, which she so exquisitely ren dered, gave great emphasis to the possession of unusual talent. Miss Eloise Anderson, in sing ing "The Lost Chord," brought out with depth of feeling the sad sentiments of the poet from whose heart and soul emanated such gems of sorrowful reflection, bit ter yet sweet. A beautiful vocal quartette fol lowed, "Where Lillies grow," sung by Misses Bailey. Susie Toole, Lu cretia Brunson, Sallie Walker, Messrs. Quattlebaum aud Brails ford. A novelty always acceptable lo the audience was a mandolin 'solo from Miss Maxcie Sheppard with piano accompaniment by Miss Marcie Gwaltney. Miss Lefia Hamilton with her wonderful voice haf already be come known to Edgefield as a vocalist of great power, and sweetness. She bids fair to become more and mor? a marvel with the ripening years. A vocal solo from her enchanted the audience at thia time followed by a piano quartette by Misses Marcie Gwalt ney, Lillie Sheppard, Ret Shep pard, and -Mary Holston. Miss McCravoy of Spartauburg, a graduate of Converse College, has for several months had obarge of the classes m elocution at the South Carolina Co-Education al Institute. During the evening ehe recited two selections, both pf which displayed her varied powers as an elocutionist, She is one bf the few who with a natural grace can express comedy or pathos, omitting those artifical stagey effects, which take the charm from eo much that is otherwise good. M?BS McCravey will be the teacher of elocution ID the Institute for the ensuing year. A contest for the medal to be given tc the young man best drill ed in the manual of arms, resulted in the bestowal of the medal upon Mr. Calhoun Mays. WEDNESDAY MORNING. The entertainment of Wednes day morning was pleasantly com menced with a mandolin duett by j Miss Maxcie Sheppard and Mr. Robert Black, a brother of Mrs. F. N. K. Bailey. The gold. medal to bo given for the best declaimer of the Junior class was competed for by Messrs. Arthur and Calhoun Mays and Mr. M. G. Smith. The declamation of Mr. Smith was an original com position intelligently delivered. The subject was "Decision of Character," and suited the char acter and temperament of the A druggist in Macon, Ga., says: "I have sold a large quantity of Mother's Friend, and have never known an in stance where it bas failed to produce the good results claimed for it. All women agree that it makes labor shorter and less painful." Mother's Friend is not a chance remedy. Its good effects are readily experienced by all expectant mothers who use it. Years ago it passed the experimental stage. While it always shortens labor and lessens the pains of delivery, it is also of tile greatest benefit during the earlier months of pregnancy. Morning sickness and nervousness are readily overcome, and the liniment relaxes the strained muscles, permitting them to expand without causing distress. Mother's Friend gives great recuperative power to the no .her, and her recovery is sure and rapid. Danger from rising and swelled breasts is done away with completely. Sotf bydruRiftiforSl a bottle.

A piano duett by Misses Sal Bailey and Em Williams prepar the way for the address before t Alumni - Alumna? Association which was delivered by Mr. Harl bf the class of '98. The public was invited to vii the Institute on Wednesday aftt noon to see the art exhibit. Mi Eliza Mims haH had charge this department during the pa scholastic year, and has certain made manifest her capacity as i instructor by ;he number at quality of specimens displayed the art roome. Notable were dra< ings by Edwardiua Blalock, Ell? Dunovant, Nadine Smith, a? Lillie May Bailey, and oil pain ings by Mrs. Bailey, Misses E Williams, Sudie Davin, Nellie Hi and Lillian Phillips. WEDNESDAY EVENING. The Opera House waB crowd* on Wednesday evening to be pre ent at the farewell exercises i commencement, to bear and s1 the members of the Senior elm for the last time. . A chorus bv the full chorus clai was the first enlivening scene, sn coeded by a brilliant piano du rendered by Mrs. Bailey and Mil Ruth Fuller. . The program of each succes8i\ evening seemed to grow better, an so it seemed that the best was ri served to the last. It may ha\ been that it waa because the di lights of the season were fleein from us, and that WP felt that the were departing from our visio forever, that the nearer we aj proached the end tue more full i appreciation we t>2carfte. Air: Gordou Quattlebaum t-an "Thy Sentinel am I." Miss Susie Toole, of Willistoi of the graduating class, read tb salutatory, Mrs. Jowers, of Clark Hill, was class historian, au Lieut. W. D. Posey, of Trenton, de livered the valedictory. Some other delightful feature of the entertainment were a come solo by Rev. P. P. Blalock, and vocal solo by Miss Eliza Mims. i piano quartette by Mis?es Salli Bailey, Minnie Rambo, Lillia Phillips, and Mary Ann F?lle was an addition to the program. The address before the gradual ing class from Rev. Mr. Buck hoitz, of Chester, was one of th most magnificent dissertations o character which has ever bee heard in Edgefield. No one cou 1 have listened thoughtfully durin the fifty minute? that,he spok without being raised higher ii ideal and character. The contac with such noblemen is of grea worth and gives a marvellous im peius forward to the individua who is thus reached, *to commenc a braver struggle, to become i worthier toiler. A medal is presented every yea to a student for best scholarship in the collegiate department There were three who stood so wei that it was by a shade of different that Mr. Calhoun Mays came firs and won the medal. The othei two were Carroll Maree, of Char leston, and M?BS Pearl Hariing, ol Edgefield county. The medal foi most punctual attendance to al duties was awarded to Miss Zane Timmerman. Medals for penman ship were given Mies Bertha Briggt and Miss Pearl Hariing; forth? best military conduct to Mr. Alonzc McMillan, of Barnwell county. The first honor medal in tnt Senior class was presented to Mrs Jowers by Col. C:oit, of Aiken. On Saturday evening during commencement the literary socie ties held a joint meeting. It wae decided that on this occasion there should be a ready speakers contest. The young men who desired tc volunteer ae competitors for the medal offered for the beBl im promptu speech were retired from the chapel, and the subjeet was chosen during their absence. Only one young man was admitted at a time. And the subject, "Co-edu cation," was announced to him. The judges considered all the speeches good, which were made by the folluwing eight who volun teered to make a trial : Messrs. Wade Eutzminger, W. D. Roberts, Calhoun Mays, B. D. Thames, Robert Entzminger, E. W. Hardy, Wm. Byrd, and G. T. Asbill. The judges deemed it their pleasant privilege to testowupon Mr. Wade Eutzminger the honor of receiviug this medal. This perhaps if not the best is at least the most trying test of a young man's ability as & speaker. The only unfortunate circum stance, attending the season ol' commencement, was the necessary absence of Dr. L. R. Gwaltney, ont of the most beloved and honored instructors in the faculty of the South Carolina Co-Educational Institute, He was missed as few others could have been mies^d. During all the delightful exercise? his presence was wanting, and thc joys of the occasion were thus not as full aa they might otherwise have been. President Bailey in his remarkh at the closing of the graduating ex ercises said that he had made all his arrangements to remain in Edgpfield for five yearB longer. The town of Edgefield has ar ranged matters to bis satisfaction find five years does not limit his stay among us, bur. he has made dei! uite arra ngemen ts forfhat length.of time. >A number of new teachers will bo added to the faculty next year among them Prof. Hinnaut, co-superintendent of the johnston Institute. Among the faculty will be graduates from the following schools: Columbian University. Richmond. College, College of Kentucky, Lucy Cobb Institute, Shorter College, Central College of New York, the Citadel, Furman University.
