To the Editor of the Dispatch: The Cokesbury Conference school has just closed its most successful year in its notable history. The work during the year has been crowned with success on every hand, and the climax was the pleasant commencement which we all enjoyed so much and were profited by. The exercises began Saturday evening with the contests in oratory and declamation. Miss Virgie Miller of Hampton, S. C., won the declaimer's medal, and Mr. E. L. Warren, Charleston, the orator's medal. All the contestants acquitted themselves superbly. The commencement sermon Sunday, 11 a. m. and the address before the students at 8:30 p. m., were delivered by Rev. W. T. Duncan, P. E., Greenwood. He gave us good thoughts and advice. Monday at 10:30 a. m., the exercises by the graduates began, after which diplomas and certificates were awarded to eleven young men and women. ^ ^ ?"? J - i-1 Ji lion. u. U. Jb eauierstone delivered the address before the class. It was a great speech and did more than the graduating class good. At 8:30 p. m., M. W. Twitchell, Ph. D., of the University of South Carolina, delivered the address before the Erosophic Literary Society. Dr. Twitchell has won for himself a name in Cokesbury. No one questions his ability as an orator and a learned man. After the literary address, the following were awarded medals for the years work: Dr. Twitchell delivered to Miss Lulu Eleazer, Irmo, S. C., the scholarship medal, for the highest average on all studies for the entire year. Miss Lulu is a Lexington county girl and a worthy one two. Prof. Bouknight delivered to Miss Jennie Reed, of Anderson, S. C., the Latin medal, and Rev. S. D. Vaughan to Miss Amanda Mars, of Cokesbury, S. C., the Music medal. The following were elected to serve on the faculty next year: G. B. Dukes, M. A., Rector and Prof. English and Latin; L. M. Bouknight, M. A., Prof. Science, Mathematics and Greek; Miles Hitch, M. D., Lecturer on Physiology, and School Physician; Miss Lula Lake, A. B., History and Modern Languages; Mrs. Rozelle Watkins of the New York Conservatory of Music, Vocal and Insrumental Music; Miss Georgie Hodges, Expres sion; Miss Merrimon and Prof. Bouknight, Business courses. The outlook for next session is bright indeed. Misses Minnie Bouknight, Lulu Eleazer, and Miss Bannie Smith all of Irmo, return to their homes today after having spent a pleasant session in the Cokesbury Conference school. June 5, 1900. B. Cured of Brigkt's Disease. Geo. A. Sherman, Lisbon Red Mills, Lawrence Co., N. Y., writes: "I had kidney disease for many years and had been treated by physicians for twelve years; had taken a well known kidney medicine and other remedies that were recommended but got no relief until I began using Foley's Kidney Cure. The first half bottle relieved me and four bottles have cured me of this terrible disease. Before I began taking Foley's Kidney Cure I had to make water about every fifteen minutes, day and night, and passed a brick-dust substance, and sometimes a slimy substance. I believe I would have died if I had not taken T7I?1 V. o,.T> JC 25 \^Uir, -L i.1^ JLX.C4. Li.J. 11141AXJL1. Drug Co. Purs Food. President Roosevelt along the line | of pure food is riling after the beef trust products of Chicago. The investigation ordered by the government of the products of the slaughtermen reveal dreadful disclosures of filth and disregard for cleanliness or health. Diseased and stale meats are doctored, canned and prepared for sale. The President calls for immediate action in the matter, as it is imparativelv necessary in the interest of health and decency that they should be radically changed. "The report shows that the stock yards and packing houses are not kept even reasonably clean, and that the method of handling and preparing food products is uncleanly and dangerous to health. The present law prohibits the shipment of uninspected meat to foreign countries, but there is 110 provision forbidding tne snipmenx of uninspected meats in interstate commerce, and thus the avenues of interstate commerce are left open to traffic in deseased or spoiled meats. If, as has been alleged on seemingly good authority further evils exist, such as the improper use of chemicals and dyes, the government lacks j) ;wer to rem 3dy them. A law is needed which will enable the inspectors of the general government to | inspect and supervise from the hoof I to the can the preparation of the meat food product. The radical defect in the present system of inspection is that it does not go far enough. It is confined at present by law to passing on the healthfulness of animals at the time of killing; but the meat that is used in sausage and in the various forms of canned products and other prepared meat foods goes through many processes, in all of which there is possibility of contamination through insanitary handling, and further danger through the use of chemicals. Tlnrinir nil rirnrPQflPa r>f nronar. ation there is no government inspection and no assurance whatever that these meat-food products are wholesome and fit for food?despite the fact that all these products, when sent out, bear a label stating they have been passed upon by government inspection." The Very Best Remedy for Bowel Trouble. Mr. M. F. Borroughs, an old and well known resident of Bluffton, Ind., says: "I regard Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhosa Remedy as the very best remedy for bowel trouble. I make this statement after having used the remedy in my family for several years. I am never without it." This remedy is almost sure to be needed before the summer is over. Why not buy it now and be prepared for such an emergency? For sale by Kaufmann Drug Co. Committee Being Investigated. And now the dispensary investigating committee is being investigated by the Record man about their own actions, as to drawing double per diem during the session of the general assembly. "The reporter was not at all unprepared for a failure to elicit information as to expenditure of the people's money by the committee, for the legislature had been treated just as the reporter was; it instructed the committee to make a report of its expenditures, which report has never been mode ia coiH tVint. anr?Vi o -ronrvrf.

Unknown Friends. There are many people who have used -l 1 < /""O _1 1 TV' unamDCTiam s <joiic, emoiera ana jjiarrhoea Remedy with splendid results, but who are unknown because they have hesitated about giving a testimonial of their experience for publication. These people, however, are none the less friends of this remedy. They have done much toward making it a household word by their personal recommendations to friends and neighbors It is a good medicine to have in the home and is widely known for its cures of diarrhoea and all forms of bowel trouble.

A colored preacher, known far and wide for his powerful exhorting qualities, advertised to tell something worth while on "The Foundation of the World," at his following Sunday morning service. One brother attended especially to find out just what formed the foundation of the terrestrial sphere upon which he lived. The desired scientific information failed to materialize in the sermon. The only scrap of information he got was the assertion "dat dis 'ere yarth res's on a big rock." After service he hunted up the preacher and demanded: "Brer Johnsing, didn't yo' 'low dat dis 'ere yarth res's on a rock ?" "Yo' did, sah" replied the divine, somewhat mystified. "Den wha' I want t' know, is wha' dat rock stan's on ? " "On a nudder rock, sah," replied Brer Johnsing, cautiously. "An' dat'n?" persisted his interlocutor inexorably. "A nudder'n," yelled the exasperated minister. "An, yo' needn't axe me any mo' sich questions. Cause hits rock all der way down, yo' blame fool." A hundred years ago the best pvsician would give you a medicine for your heart without stopping to consider what effect it might have on the liver. Even to this good day cough and cold medicines invariably bind the bowels. This is wrong. Bee's Laxative Cough Syrup with Honey and Tar acts on the bowels 'Ill* v o villi- 111!'
