7. C. Z. Commencement.
The commencement exercises of
the Palmetto Collegiate Institute,
like its predecessors, were well attended
by the youth, the beauty
and the intelligence of Lexington
county. Perhaps on no other occasion
has there been so much joy, happiness
and pleasure in our little town
in the past as there has been during
the present week.
To begin with, the Bacculeaurate
sermon by the Bev. B. S. Truesdale,
of Columbia, last Sunday morning,
was the production of ripe scholarship
and the mature thoughts of one
who had drank at the fountain that
- - 3 ' -'-L'-- * A^ (U
rises ana o&uuies kuui uuuu mo
great White Throne. His text was well
chosen and his theme was a message
of the beauty and grandeur and love*
linesB of the beatitudes the precepts
of which, if heeded are calculated to
make this good old world of ours
more glorious and brighter and sunshiny
and the inhabitants thereof
more cheerful, more God like and |
more thoughtful in that it breathed j
the spirit of "our Elder Brother and
set in motion the great wave of charity
that reaches out and gathers in the
whole human family and binds and
knits them together in bonds of sympathy
one for another that will purify
our lives and make our bodies fit
temples for the indwelling of the
Holy of the Holiest. The enlargement
of the heart and the expansion
of the mind aire the essentials that
to develop, cultivate and mature the
> true Christian character will re'
main firm and steadfast amid the
storms of life and the temptations in*

spriog come the gladsome news,
glistening like dew drops in the morning
son and more brilliant than toe
sparkle of diamonds, open the portals
of the heart and the avenues of the
mind bo thatthe divine instructor may
enter and direct and control and rule
our body and soul that our lives
might be open epistles known ard
read of all men and others 8 Jeing
our good works might be led to the
foot of the cross and the rivers of
living waters.
In the evening Rev. Mr. Truesdale
preached another thooghtful and in
teresting sermon. His message c n
that occasion was "The Dark Spot,"
and impressed upon his hearers the
sin of social bigotry, religious arfctcc
racy and other evils which we of this
day and generation are bo familiar
with.
The exercise Monday evenii g
consisted of the contest for the Herdrix
medal by seven young ladies of
the eighth grade. The exercises
were interspersed by instrumental
and vocal music charmingly rendered
by the pupils of the music department.
The young ladies participated
in this contest were as follows and in
the order named: Misses May Boozer,
Earnestine Bsrre. Anna Martha
Meetze, Both Efird, Laura DaviWingard,
Mattie George, Adds
Smcak. The young Misses were becomingly
gowned and in their whi'e
frocks, bright young faces and with
their eyes sparkling and cheeks
flushed with eager expectancy of the
coming contest, they presented a
lovely picture of innocent young
childhood when life lay before them
with all the beautiful colors of the
rainbow of hope and joyous promise
Each one of them endeavored to excel
the other in ennuciation, pronunciation,
expression and gesture that
it was an exceedingly difficult matter
for the committee, consisting of Revs.
W. L Keel, J. N. Nesse and J. W.
Ogilvie to come to a decision, so remarkably
well did each and everyone.
They were certainly well
trained and were almost perfect in
all the requirements, of declamation
and the rules of elocution. After a
careful consideration of the merits
and score of each one the committee
decided that Miss Barre was entitled
to the medal and so the award was
announced.
Tuesday morning's exercises con
sisted of the contest for the Lever
Medal. The contestants were: James
Wolfe Yon, Lewis Belton Roof,
James Fort Graham, Jesse Oliver
Wingard, George Abner Shealy.
These young men developed remarkable
taleDt in declamation and evidenced
thorough preparation. The
Revs. 0. N. Rountree, J. N. Nease
and J. Brooks Wingard, Esq ^warded
the medal to Jesse Oliver Wingard.
A fiMinor nlimax to the 10Y0U8
occasion was the exercises of
the graduating class last evening.
The class consisted of Hollie Lee
HarmaD, Charley Webster Cromer,
Miss Beulah Lee George, Miss Eula
May Clark, Miss Luvie Catherine
Craps, Miss Minnie Delia Earman,
Miss Harriett Mae Belle Hook, Miss
Ernestine Graichen, Miss Patsy
Henrietta George, Miss Emma Estelle
Koon. These exercises were
beyond the average of those of similar
occasions. The young ladies and
gentlemen were in their happiest
mood and their delivery was almost
perfect. The subjects were timely
and appropriate, dealing with questions
of the day that they in the
roning years will have to face and
solve for themselves.
The music was of an unusually
high order and the songs would have
done credit to professionals. The
teachers and scholars are deserving
of much credit for the manner in
which the exercises were brought off.
It was a splendid advertisement for
the school and doubtless will draw
many pupils from the adjacent country.
This school is doing a good
work for our town and county and
our people are more united now than
ever before in their purpose to give
it a more liberal support and a more
hearty encouragement.
In a few choice and appropriate
words of advice to the young people
Congressman A. F. Lever presented
the diplomas to the graduating class.
One of- the pleasing incidents of
the evening was the presentation of
the beautiful bouquets to each of the
class, and to Mrs. Fannie Boof and
Mrs. Emma Graieben as teachers.
Mr. Charles B. Kogers, formerly
of Baltimore but now of Batesburg,
has nurchased an interest in the
Bates burg Advocate and will in
conjunction with his nephew, Mr. N.
Rogers Bayly, conduct that journal.
Mr. Rogers is a fluent writer and a
logical reasoner and we wish him
abundant success in his newspaper
work.
By a vote of 678 to 220 PickenB
county voted out the dispensary last
Saturday. This is not surprising
when we remember that PickenB is
one of the mountainous count ei
whtre "Mountain Dew" is almost as
free as the air we breathe. It is not
so much a sentiment of temperance
as it is opposition to the dispensary
law.
The new river boat which is to
ply between Columbia and Georgetown
will probably make its first
trip by July 1st.
This wet weather we have been
having will probably have more inj
fluence upon the reduction of the
cotton acreage than Mr. Smith or
Mr. Hyatt.
An Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe
passenger train was detached by train
wreckers on May, 14 near Emporia,
Kansas. Six passengers were injured,
two of whom will probably die.
In connection with the acreage

York cotton firm, estimate that the ,
acreage this year will be 28,171,130,
as against 31,730,000 last year. !
The Southern Eaiiway officials
have placed the responsibility of the
wreck of the Ogden train on the
crew of the train while the trainmen
are equally positive in their contention
that the officials are the only
ones to blame for the wreck.
A dispatch from Sherman, Texas,
on Saturday says that 20.000 acres
