The '01 02 session of the Palmetto Collegiate Institute come to a brilliant eod Hondaj and Tuesday in Roof 'e haft Tbe exercises proper commenced Sunday with the Buccal*orate ser beksq by Rev Dr. Flyno.of Columbia, who took for his text the opening words of that most remarkable prayer, known to Bible readers as "The Lord's Prayer: 4iOur Father which tart in heaven," from which be wove a beaatiful theory of the duty of the young toward God and mac, and drawing therefrom lessons of truth, hiaesty and charity. St. Stephen's Evangelical Lutheran church was crowded to its utmost capacity with aa appreciative and cultured coDgre- ' gtutioo and his audience were delighted with the elcqueoce of the Doctor. Monday morning at 11 o'clock the children of the primary department entertained a very large number of their relatives, friends and acquaint ances in a highly creditable manner. Ei h and every one of the coming met* and women of our county recited their selections in a manner that won . the approval as well as the plaudits of their audieoc- and with that pre cis'oa and correctness that evidenced pvnsUking and thonghtfal training Mt-s Mary C Win gar d has had charge of this department during the pist session and as a teacher she has been remarkably successful and has given entire satisfacidn to the Uasteee and patrons of the Institute as well as won the confidence and love of those placed in her care. exercises of the Intermediate J ( department were held Monday eve | commencing at 8:30 o'clock, ahd j consisted of recitations, declama( t: ms. dialogues and music Iq this ( t-hoct notice it is impossible to notice , each scholar by name but it is odIj i necessary to say that Prof. James H. Hope is at the helm in this department so that our readers can form i ! ii /same Ki-ea now wen loeee youug peojpte acquitted themselves. The drills * ^rer* a pleasing feature of the occa 4 xioa and the very large audience was 4 xealij delisted with the high pro- dioaacy that Mr. Hope has brought 5 <2b* eehoiars to during the past ses- $ -sioe. 5 Tuesday morning there was a fine 5 debate on the question: "Itoaolved. 2 That the"Negro Should be Educated." 2 The affirmative was ably maintained 2 by Tatmage Wesainger, Chalmers 5 We&singex and Sam Wessinger, while 5 the negative was protected by Joe 2 Hgjuafr, Fiaok Lown and Aiihur 2 Bdtastme. So well did these young 2 debaters defend their respective po- 5 aitaoo* that the committee was uu 2 able to come to any conclusion and eo it was decided that the negro 2 should be educated, and the negro 2 ehoa'd not be educated; or in other S ward* there was no decision at all. 5 Tuesday evening the students of ' the Collegiate department held their exercises. The graduating class con- i sisted of Willie Long, Lola Harmac, * Lilly Saioak, Bessie Corley and Eppie Roof. Miss Roof wears the honors '< of the class and Mr. L )wn won sec- i ond faoooc. The essays were well I i written and showed a considerable j 1 literary merit. Prof O D. Seay is the principal of this school and h e i educational labors in our midBt have I been attended with success and tbe : 9.

The music department is uuder :he direction of Mrs. Fannie Roof, a lady of culture aDd talent and the execution of her students is a sufficient endorsement of her high musical talents and their proficiency in touch, tone and volume would reflect credit upon the masters. There was a large crowd of visitors in town and the hall was crowded at each entertainment. Ic is affirmed that 65,000 Jews are fleeing from the riot ridden districts - ? ? -i-.,., f -.l j of UeP8araDia. JUittie raun is piaceu in the promise of the police and military to protect them from the horrors that are feared. Theodore Roosvelt has virtually acknowledged that he would like to become the standaid bearer of the Republican party in the Presidential lace. Well, Teddy is about the weakest man that the Republicans can p t forth, and bis nomination will almost insure a Democratic victory. Spain Kelly, the badly wanted ar d much hunted man, who killed W. E Creech on the road from Camden fo Bishopville in Lee county, a few weeks ago, has surrendered to Sheriff Scarborough of Sumter county. There is no gail at Bishopville, the rtrtnnfty oo#k nf T,pp panntv. A re ward bad been offered by the Governor for Kelly's arrest but had not been published when he surrendered It is announced th&t Cleveland ba^ expressed himself as not beiDg averse to become the candidate of the Democratic party for President of the United States for the third term. It i9 an unwritten law, which has heretofore been religiously observed, that no one person shall be elected President of this government for the third term and it is not witbin the range of human possibility that the jpeople will at this late date establish such a dangerous precedent just to please Mr. Cleveland's vaDity.

Summer months are peculiarly the months of nervous diseases, especially nervous prostration and other depressed states of the nervous system. People who are not at ail inclined to be nervous or suffer from weak nerves find this time especially trying. Sultry heat and electrical "disturbances of the atmosnhere are probably the cause of Lii Invalids need to be particularly careful to fortify the nervous system by the use of Peruna. Miss Helen Eolof, Kaukauna, "Wis., writes:?" Several time3 during the past two years or more my system has been greatly in need of a tonic, and at those times Peruna has been of groat help in building up the system, restoring my appetite and securing restful sleep. I know a great number of women who are using ;t for the troubles peculiar to the sex, aud with the best results." ?Helen Rolof. MISS LOUISE BERT3EL. Miss Louisa Bcrtscl, lO1^ Second street, Brooklyn, N. Y.,writes:?'" My health was excellent until about six months ago, when I seemed to have a collapse from overdoing socially, and the doctor ordered an entire change of scene and climate. As this was an absolute impossibility at the time, I had to try and regain my health in another way and was induced by a friend, who gave Peruna such a good recommend, to try Peruna. 1 cannot tell you the conditiom of my nerves when I began to use it. The least noise irritated me, and I felt that life wps not worth living, but Peruna soon changed me into a well woman, and now I do not know 1 have nerves."?Louise BertseJ. A newspaper contributor was lately admitted into the extensive suite of offices which constitute the headquarters of Dr. Hartmai^Mfrho treats catarrh patients by the ^Hisand. Among the Dusy swarm of a^Bant doctors, clerks, stenographers and! bookkeepers, Dr. Hartman stopped lojg enough to say a few words. "A large number of female patients visit me every year, but the number who are entered on my books as regular patients and are treated by correspondence is very much larger. * Hundreds of letters are received and answered free every day.

I suffered for five years with severe backache, and when weary or worried in the least I had prolonged headache. This fall I caught a bad cold and was advised to take Peruna for it. Imagine my astonishment and pleasure to find that after taking two bottles not only was my cough gone, but I had no more backache or headache. I am now in perfect health, enjoy life and have | neither an ache or pain, thanks to Peruna." j ?Lucy M.

One woman has dyspepsia, another bronchitis, another Brignt's disease, another liver complaint, another consumption, another female complaint. These women would be very much surprised to hear that they are all suffering with chronic catarrh. But it i9 so, nevertheless. Each one of these troubles and a great many more are simply catarrh?that is, chronic inflammation of the mucous lining, of which organ is affected. Any internal remedy that will cure catarrh in one location will cure it in anv other location. This is why Peruna has become so justly famous in the cure of female diseases. It cures catarrh wherever located. Its cures remain. Peruna does not palliate?it cures.
