GREAT EXPOSITION
OPENED SY ROOSEVELT
The great Jamestown Ter-Centenial
Exposition opened Friday. President
Roosevelt, the diplomatic naval and
military representatives . of thirtyseven
of the nations of the world,
and the governors of many states
participated in the exercises. . The
exposition which will remain open
until the 30th, of November, next,
was not at all hindered by the unfin ished
condition of many buildings and
the 30th anniversary of the first English
settler in America was the most
brilliant event in the history of expo
sitions. From the firing of the sunrise
salute of 300 guns by the U.. Si
army, through the picturesque beauty
of the review of 'the international
fleet of war vessels anchored in
Hampton Roads, through the ceremonies
of dedication at which the President
spoke and down to a late hour
when the chief executive repaired
aboard the naval yachtr Sylph to
spend the night in the lower bay, the
day was crowded with notable incidents.
\
The ceremonies of dedication were
brief, the addresses .of President
Tucker, of the exposition and President
Roosevelt were the only features.
The latter at the conclusion of his
address, pressed the golden button
which formally marked the opening
of the commemorative enterprise.
A Busty Nail in Bis Lugs.
By using the X-ray apparatus, Dr.
LeGrand Guerry has located and removed
a five-penny cut nail, a little
rusty, swallowed by little Arthui
Boyer, 18 months old, and had / founc
its way into the child's lungs. When
the little fellow, \^Jio lives with his
parents in Lexington county, not fai
from the town of Lexington, waf
brought to the Columbia hospital, he
was suffering the most intense agony,
but it seemed almost impossible tc
determine the cause of his Strang*
illness. Only the Roentgen apparatuf
could show the location of theunusua
foreign body. 9
The child was, brought to the hos
pital Friday and the X-ray broughl
into use. It was seen immediately
that an operation would have to be
performed and the little patient was
prepared for the operating room. Dr
Guerry performed the operatior
beautifully and in a very short while
So perfect has been the child's recovery
that today he is playing about
the hospital grounds and will be entirely
released from treatment in i
few days.?Columbia Record, 30th.

giving the negro a chance to reply,
drew his pistol and fired. The negro

and walked ,out the back door where
he fell dead without saying a word
The pencil and paper was still in the

X&.Memory of Viola 2?. Lorick
Whereas, God in His all wise providence,
has seen fit to remove from
our midst Viola M. Lorick. Be it resolved,
1. That Irmo school has lost an intelligent
and obedient pnpil, a faith
ful student, a helpful classmate ana a
much loved schoolmate.
2. That she was gentle and beautiful
in disposition, and we know she
has gone to her reward.
3. Though deeply grieved, we bow
in humble submission to the Divine
will, havfhg faith that the hand of
God is in everything. One less at
home, at school, around the play
ground; one more in heaven.
4. That a copy of these resolutions
be furnished to the bereaved family
and to the county paper.
Leafes have their time to fall,
And flowers to wither at the north
wind's breath,
And stars to set?but all,
Thou hast all seasons for thine owTn,
oh death!"
"We know when moons shall wane,
When summer birds from far shall
cross the sea;
When autumn's hue shall tinge the
gold grain?
But who shall teach us when to look
for thee?
Is it when spring's first gale
Comes forth to whisper where the
violets lie?
Is it when roses in our paths grow
pale?
They have one season?all ours to
die!" I

BROOKS J. WINGARD.
"The University of South Carolina
was represented by one of her best
orators in the person-of Mr. Brooks J.
Wingard of Lexingtop.
Though a resident of this State since
early childhood,- Mr. Wingard was
born in Virginia in 1884. His mother
WaS a M188 XX U LCIiillBflij wuuv/vuvu.
with the famous Daniel family of that
State. His father is the Hon. B. J.
Wingard, a prominent member of the
| Lexington bar.
Mr. Wingard was prepared for college
at the Lexington Collegiate institute
and entered the university in j
fall of ,03. A member of the Clario- .
sophic Literary, he has enjoyed r
honors at its hands and in turn has
won for it many honors. He won the *
declaimed medal offered /by his
society in '05. Won Roddey medal - ,
debate* in '05 and the intersociety
oratorship in '06 and represented his
society in both the State and Southern
preliminary contests this spring; banquet
speaker at junior-senior banquet *
'06 and senior clas? orator for '07. He
has taken an active interest in the Y.
M. C. A. of the college, representing
it at various intercollegiate conferences.
He is now editor-in-chief of
The Carolinian, and is engaged in
getting out a spring number that will
be perhaps the largest edition ever
issued by a college magazine in the
South.
Mr. Wingard was for several years*
business manager of "the University
Glee club/ that will furnish music at
the contest, and has done much to
bring it up to its present efficient
state."
i Interesting Case.
One of the most interesting cases
that has been tried in the Magistrate's!
court here in some time was that of
the Rhea Live Stock Co., Columbia,.
I vs. Eli Spires, in*which the plaintiff
j took out attachment proceedingsi
against the defendant, to receive a
! difference which was to have been
paid in- a mule trade, the principal
question being, if the difference in
trade (boot) was really part of the purchase
money. Magistrate Derrick
has decided in favor of the plaintiff,
that the difference was part of the pur'
" ?:n
chase money ana tne case win uc
carried to the higher court. Mr. Allen
J. Green, of Columbia, represented
the plaintiff and W. H. Sharpe, the
defendant.
