Opening Exorcises.
The fall exercises of the Palmetto
Collegiate Institute were opened last I
Monday under the most flattering
prospects. The large number of
day and boarding students, and
visitors was a favorable sign that
a renewed interest had been awaken
*11 in thnnanseof education in general
and the Institute in particular.
Never befoir in the history of the
Institute has the outlook for a successful
session been fraught with so
much brightness. The teachers have
received new inspiration to prosecute
their all important work with more
zeal and strength and confidence and
the students themselves are stroDg
in their determination to apply themselves
to their studies with more
iiligence, care and thoughtfulness.
On the whole it was a very pleasant
and profitable occasion and much
ijood, which will leave its impress on
? 1 ? ? J 3
the minds ot those wno aitenueu
these opening exercises, will come
cut of it.
The opening day nintey pupils were
3nroled, which far exceeds the number
of any previous opening day, of
which number thirty-one are in the
primary department, twenty-seven in
the intermediate and thirty-two in
the Collegiate departments. Twentyseven
of these are boarding and day
scholars as follows: Miss Anna Derrick,
Derricks; Mies Bertha Kleckley,
New Brookland; MissHattie Cromer,
New Brookland; Miss Kate Derrick,
Lexington; Miss Belle Hooker, East)ver;
Miss Sallie Roberts, Lexington;
Mr. Quincy Shealy, Barre; Mr. Chalners

This makes the sixth year of the
Institute under the management of
Prof. 0- D. Seay, whose able and
indefatigable efforts have brought the
Institute up to its present high standard
of efficiency and prosperity.
He has labored zealously and faithfully,
many times under the most
trying and adverse circumstances, to
build up a first class educational institute
in this place and at last the
rift in the clouds has shown a brighter
future for the Institute and success
has crowned his labors of six
years. This session the other teachers
are:
Prot. Jas. H. Hope, the newly
elected principal, was on hand and
took charge of the Intermediate Department.
He is a young man of
pleasing address and has made many
friends during his short stay in Lexington.
Mr. Hope received his ed ac?tion
at Newberry andClemeon Cbl
leges and has an experience of seven
! years in the school room,
j Miss Mary Wingard, the lady
chosen to teach the Primary Department,
has taken charge in earnest.
Miss Wingard has been teaching for
fifteen years with enviable satisfaction.
She was graduated from
Walhalla Female College, and has
been a student every since.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
The health of this community is
very good at this time.
If seasons are continued the sweet |
potatoes will be very good in this
section.

making sorghum. It seems that the
people are very well pleased with
their turnout of syrup.
Mr. D. I. Hite of Brook, wa8 in
this community last week, acting as
agent for the New York Life Insurance

night his horse broke loose and he
went to put it in the stable and when
he came back the girl was gone to
bed.
Mr. Tommy Nichols is the proudest
man in this section. He just
