Graded School Commencement.
During the course of a year our
people have opportunity of wit
nessing a great'diversity of en
tertainments, but nothing is ever
presented to an Edgefield audi
ence that is more thoroughly en
joyed or more rapturously re
ceived than the commeccement
exercises ol the graded school.
The children are so devoid of the'
vainities and vainglories of life,so
natural: and unassuming in their
mauser that they provoke the
highest admiration and commen
dation' from tbe -large audiences
that attend these annual occasions.
The 1907 commencement exer
cises of the graded pchool will
held on Thursday evening, May
16*b, beginuiogat 8:45 sharp. The
doors will positively close at th*t
hour. The exercises will cons-ist
chi-fly of a beautiful little play
entitled "The Queen's Surprite."
More thau a score of little folks
have been assigued parts.
As there is yet a balauce due on
the improvements aud repairs that,
were made on the school property,
au admission fee will be charged
iu order to raise mon^y to liqui
date at least a portion of this
debt. Reserved seats will be on
sale at the proper time at 35
cents, general admissiou 25 cents
15 cents for children. No one ought
to mind contributing this e-mail
sum toward paying the balance on
the school debt.Really they are not
contri buting anything, for not one
will attend who will not receive
more than dop ble Lis money's
worth.

At Parksville Next Year.
The session of tbe Inier-De

thusiastically discussed. Thsse
annual occasions not only give au
impetus to Sunday school work
throughout the county but bring
the several branches of the Chris

ic loucb and closer fellowship.
The officers .of the convention
were: Rev. T. P. Bu"gess, pr?si

First S. C. C. I. Encampment.
The first encampment of the S
C. C. I. cadets which was held at
Salter's pond last week was ideal
in every respect. Col. Bailey went
down a day in advance io have
ihe tents erected and to getevery
thing in readiness by lhe time the
soldier boys arrived Strict mili
tary discipline was observed
throughout the encampment
Guard mounting was held every
morning and sentinels posted to
guard the premises just as if the
enemy, forty thousand 6troug
were only a few miles away. Of
course the cadets were given leave
of absence for a portion of each
day, and their leisure time was
spent in fishing and disporting
themselves in the shady woodland
adjoining the camp.
On Saturday afternoon the boys
marched to Trenton, wh^re a prize
d'ill was held. Cadet Humphreys
was awarded first piize. At Tren
ton they boarded the late train for
Edgefield, to again take ap the
routine life at the college.

Letter to Dr. C. E. Burts.
Edgefield, S. C.
Rev. Sir: . We should "like to ask
your advice on a certain thing done :
tvas it right or wrong? We shall have
to state it., including che names.
D F Dre i corn is a painter in Hol
yoke, Mass. John J Donohue is an ar- ?
shitect, Springfield, near-by.
. Donohue was building, at Holyoke,
trie Hely Family Institute, letting the
work by bids, as usual. Dreicorn got
the paint" job; the paint wai to be
lead-and-oil.
But Dreicorn said to himself: 1 lead- j
and-oii isn't half so good as Deroe
md it costs more money, what shall
[do? He painted Devoe; and. after]
the work was dene, told Donohue,
saying: ''if that isn't better than any J
lead-and-oil job, I'll make it so."
Was Dreicorn right or wrong in
painting a lead-and-oil job Devoe?
You ask bo w it turned out. This was I
?ix years ago. Now Donohue has an
other job there, a big addition to the
Catholic Hospital; and he doesn't ask
bids for the painting, but says to
Dreicorn: ''Go ahead Dreicorn and
?rive me as good a job as you did on
th? Institute. That's the best paint
?ob I ever saw."
The question ls ''Wa3 Dreicorn
right in painting Devoe when he had
agreed to paint lead-and-oil.
That isn't quite all. Lead-and-oil is
expected to last three years. If Drei
corn had, used lead-and-oil, there
would have been another job for bim
or somebody else three yenrs ago.
Was he right in losing that job for
himself or somebody else three years |
igo?
The Institute took 200 gallons De
voe and cost 1,000; the paint had worn
?ix years, when Donohue says "it's
the best paint job he ever saw." If he
had used lead-and-oil, it would have
sost about 2200 for the two paint jobs
?ix and three years ago aod go hungry
for paint again.
Dreicorn lost 1200 of business and
took the risk of making Donohue mad
and losing his business, forever: all
