By reason of an unfortunate misunderstanding this writer was prevented from attending the "Louisiana / Purchase Exposition" on the S8me train with the "Press Gang," but he did the next beet possible thing to j do?took the next train cut from Columbia. While he missed the agreeable company of the members of the press, yet the time was pleasantly passed in viewing from the car i < v,? ?1? a niuuuw IUQ luveij puuiauia ^uiuicu by nature's own band, as we glided on the rails of steel from hills to valleys and from valleys to hills. The Southern and its connections ?The Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis and its connections, theW. & A. R. K, and Illinois Central?are giving splendid service to travelers bound to St. Louis. The Conductors and crew of the trains are gentlemanly and attentive to their passenger?; the cars are elegantly furnished with all the modern conveniences that go to make the trip a pleasant one and the usual monotony which makee railroad traveling tedious and fatiguing is robbed of much of its terrors by fine road .beds and comfortable and luxurious cars. When we arrived in St. Louis we immediately headed for the Exposition grounds, but failed to find our friends there. The next day we returned to the Wabash depot and found the members of the Press Association comfortably domiciled in a well appointed Pullman. The Exposition grounds covers 1,240 acres with a scene of bewildering splendor, such as our eye has never before beheld. Magnificient buildings reared their proud heads toward the blue vault of heaven.

Leeeville, June 7 ?The people of | Leesville opened their hearts and ' homes to the many visitors this week, j This is commencement week aDd | everybody seems to be erijoyiDg i themselves. Visitors from ail parts ! of the State are here and the exer; cises have never been excelled. The exercisee of Leesville college were held in the college chapel, and when Rev. Vernon I'Anson appeared i upon the stage to deliver the bacca| laurnate sermon the chapel was filled couch beyond its seating capacity, and though the morniDg was very hot the crowded audience was held without any visible discomfort for 40 minutes by the great speaker. Mr I'Aneoo is pastor of the Southside Baptist church in Columbia and he well sustained his reputation as a speaker At 8 15 p. m. Rev. C. A. Freed, pastor of Ebenezer Lutheran chnrch, j Columbia, preached a very able ser- ! luou. The speaker is inspiring and fcie thoughts were filled with valuable i admonitions to ail, and he laid stress for those of the student body and graduating class. 3Ir Freed's earnest pleading for 40 minutes has made lasting impresions and ho will long be remembered. .ALUMNI MEET. Yesterday morning at 11 o'clock the annual meeting of the alumni was held. A very interesting speech was oeiivered by Col. W. W. Ha wee, o! Brookland. His theme, "Industrious Education," was well applied and the college should feel proud of hiin At 4.30 p. m. an oratorical contest for a gold medal given by the literary societies was held. Mr. Ansel Caughmau of the junior class was the winner, his subject being "The New South " At 8 o'clock Tuesday night the ir mi 11 Street, Oolum ee to sell goods as ch AND BLINDS, p'rtce, 1730 Main Street, opposite, post i So see _?oa or make you low prices on AMD BLINDS, Leal and Oil, : OR PLATE.

After the programme had been concluded, by special request, Prof. Brockman (flute) and Miss Hayne j (piano) rendered "Dixie" to the frantic delight of the appreciative audience. DR. "FLINN SPEAKS. The exercises Tuesday morning included principally the annual address to the students by the Kev. Dr. J. W. Flinn, of South Carolina college. Nothing short of publishing the speech in fnil could possibly convey even a slight idea of the beauty, strength and magnificent thought contained. The doctor began by making some pleasant remarks about the college and recalling that the first woman who ever received a diploma from the South Carolina college was a graduate of Leesville college. He announced for his sub ject: "The Value of the School and College to the State."' He said in part: "Full reports of commencement occasions fill our daily papers. Newspapers are thermometers, the index of public sentiment. Our people are interested in these things and the newspapers are only filling the demand when they give their best space to an account of these exercises. The belief in education is shown by the millions of pupils in our schools and the millions of money spent for educating our youth in the United States. There are over 20,000,000 of pupils in our schools and colleges at an expense of $110,000,000 annually.

The > nations of the world value education and their destined position will deI pend on the perfection of their ' educational system. After the Franco-Prussian war France realized that she had been overthrown by the schools of Germany, and she re' organized her system of education on a national basis to restore her lost power and glory. Since 18G5 Japan has educated morethaD 10.000 of her young men in tho schools of America and Europe. She has fash ioned her educational system on the western model. At the head of her schools, government, army and navy today are the men who were trained in America and Europe. "Behind the Krupp gun works in Germany are the boys trained in the German schools. The world realizes that to make a nation great it must build great men in great schools." Dr. F.inu made a splendid impression. His presence here will be remembered very pleasantly by all who heard him. - A Belated Train. Newberry Observer, June T. Usually the C., N. A L. trains are promptly on schedule time; but the up train from Columbia missed it badly on Friday, reaching hereabout five instead of 12:43. The encdne gave cut about Irmo, and the engineer, working with it in the broiling sun, wa9 overcome by the heat, and another engineer had to fce telegraphed for. He came up from Columbia and hitched his engine to the train and brought it as far as Prosperity all right, when it also gave out. Then an engine was telegraphed for from Newberry, and that brought the train safely through. - Fewer gallons; wears longer; Devce. J.
