I. commencement ? Nothing, ab solutely nothing. Miss Julia Allen,who has taught the RaioBford school for the past two years, returns today to hw home in Florence, much to the re gret of her large circle of friends. Mr. and Mrs. W.F. Dobey, of Aiken, accompanied by pretty lit tle Miss Lina, attended the com mencement, in which their son, Mr. Fred Dobey, took a promiueut part. Mr. J. H.

Our town was thrown into cou fusion on Monday afternoon tv the burning of the gin-house of Judge W. F. Roath. The fire resulted, presumably, from the carleseness of a smoker.

Few and far between are the towns in which such a tremendous stock of goods is carried as tba' to be fouud in the store of Ramsey & Jones. In other words, it is really a city store located in a town. Many distinct lines of goods, such as wagons, buggies, furniture, crockery and glassware, shelf hard ware, undertaker's supplies, wagon and carriage material, stoves, etc. are carried aud every }iue jp com plete.

Pursuant to the request of tho conference of our Baptist church Mr. Orlando Sheppard went to Blackville on Thursday last, con veying in person the call from the church to Rev. C. E. Burts. The latter gave no definite answer on so short a notice but it is confiden tly believed that he will come to Edgefield. He will make known his decision in a short time. Prof. J. E. Grim, of Johnston, and Miss Carrie Talbert, of Reho both, who as principal and assis tant, respectively, conducted so successfully the splendid graded icbool atf Parksville, during the session just closed, attended the commencement.

May Heaven's richest blessings be showered upon this union of two bright and happy young liveB. S. C. C. I. COMMENCEMENT. Immense and Interested Audi ences Enjoying- the Exercises. It has been frequently remarked that the most popular thing in Edgefield either of the past, pres ent or future is the South Caroli na Co-Educational Institute A striking manifestation of this was seen in the immense crowd assem bled in the opera house on Friday .vening last to witness the closing exercises of the grades under the instruction of Mrs. King and Miss Sudie Davis. It is doubtful if the opera house has ever seated so many people since its erection,and looking over the sea of faces, e/en the oldest inhabitants were forced to say that many, many of them were those of strangers, so far abroad has gone the fame of our great educational Mecca. FRIDAY. The first number on the pro gramme was a vocal recitation by Thelma Bailey and Francis Shep pard, "If I were a boy", "If I were a girl",provok iug much mirth from the audience. "Needles and Pins" was a dialogue beautifully recited by Natalie Padgett and Lee Spen cer. The ten Chinamen who next appealed were so thoroughly Chin ese that the mothers and fathers present hardly knew their own children. Their singing and pan tomine gestures were "just as good good as could be." But the most beautiful and all inclusive number of the evening was the operetta, "Cinderella iu FJowerland". Prologues on man< uscript are often dull and tire some, but prologues put in actior are "a thing of beauty *and a joj forever". Such was the boat scene ic which Sadie Mims, as the fair} queen, sang with such clearness and sweetness, "Come sail with m( in my golden boat". The story o! Cinderella translated to Flower land followed iu the successiv? ?cenes. First, the invitation to the flow .ri to th? hall given by Princf Sunshine at Sunbeam Castle is Bued by Robin Red so graoefull; represented hy John Barrie, An other bewitching noone was th duet sung by the two beautifu buttp.riliea, Nellie .'ones and Glad ys Quattlebauni, v ho were drive! on the soeue by B junie Bee, Glove Low?, Mattie Pattison, as th wild meadow daitty, sang well, an made a beautiful heroine, aft? her transformation by Mother Ni ture, Sadie Mims, into Lady Ma: gu?rite. The bright sunbeams did honor to their liege Lord, Prince Sunshine, Clifford King, the elo quent ruler of Sunbeam- Castle, who won the hand of Fair Lady Marguerite. At the appearance of the Raindrops with their wafering pot?, the Sunbeams shining through the rain, made a beautiful J rainbow in thedistai.ee. The two proud sisters in the persons of Royal Peak and Mattie Holstein as Hollyhock and Tiger Lily acted so well, that the audience was al most persuaded to believe that their jealousy and ill temper was not assumed,but real. Lila Evans sang at different times, two solos much commented upon by the appreciative listeners. SUNDAY. Sunday morning of commencement dawned clear and bright. The opera house was filled with an ap preciative and attentive congrega tion, gathered to listen to the- dis course delivered by Rev. T. P. Lide, of Pendleton. His theme was an eloqueut appeal for faith ful discipleship urging all to bear the cross of the legion of honor, ? and enduring to the end, receive the crown of life in the mansions prepared for them that love him-. The service of Sunday evening was a very interesting one, the sermon being preached by Rev. T. P. Bur gess of the Presbyterian chuich. His discourse, in contrast to that of the morning, was a declaration of the delights of Christian disci i pleship and was full of spiritual understanding. MONDAY. The exercises of Mouday morn ing consisted of two contests, one for the Bailoy medal and one for the J.C.Sheppard medal, by mem bers of the Freshman and Sopho more classes. The Bailey medal was awarded to Mr. Hiatt, of Col leton county. The speech of Mr. Milton Bu88ey, of Red Hill, was favorably commented upon. Mr. Fred Dobey, of Aiken, delivered his oration with unusual ease and with distinctness and deliberation of utterance. The J. C. Sheppard medal was awarded to Mr. Pat Bussey, of Red Hill. The only other contes tant was Mr. Claude Bailey, of El- | lenton. The strains of the baud] enlivened the programme at inter-] vals. The enjoyment of the morn ing was closed after a delightful chorus by the young ladies of Mrs. Bailey's music class. Monday afternoon at 5 o'clock in spite of a threatening storm, the people of Edgefield and visitors, manifested their continued en thusiasm by their presence at the annual celebration of the literery societies. The debate was on the query: Resolved,that immigration to the United States should be checked." The affirmatives was argued by Miss Louise McKnight, of Manning, and Cadet Kelly, of Blackville. The negative by Miss Anna Holmes and Cadet Garrie. The judges pronounced the affirm ative as the winning side, and the society modal for the best debater was presented to Mr. Kelly by Mr. Enc Hardy, who had held it dur ing the previous year. The Musical Recital by the grad uates in music on Monday evening was the best of its kind ever given in Edgefield, and could not have been surpassed by graduates of any other music school in the State. Edgefield should be proud of her great advantages in this direction. The following pro gramme was rendered after the manner of great musicians, by great musicians : Schubert-...
