Week?Grand Old Institution. Columbia, June 11.?The State university closed this afternoon at two o'clock. The University of South Carolina, as it stands today, is but the old South Carolina College grown a little larger. For over a hundred years the history of this institution and that of the State has been well nigh the same. Back in the sixties, when the dark war clouds hung heavily over the State, when men gave up the fields and trades fcr the unpleasantness of arm-bearing, the old college closed its doors and its young students went forth to fight for the southern cause, and the records bear me out in saying that no soldiers acquitted themselves more like men than did the gallant Carolina boys. When the terrible struggle ended, the college again threw open its doors to the youth of the State, and has since been sending out men who have been eminently successful in the various walks of life. It would, indeed, be pleasant to go on with this bit of history, but time and space will not allow. During all the years of the college's existence, none have been more successful than the one just closed. This year the graduates of the several departments numbered over fifty. The class of '07 is the largest and, as a whole, one of the strongest that has ever gone out from the university. The commencement exercises were all of the highest order and were largely attended. They began Sunday, June 9, with the annual sermon before the Y. M. C. A. This sermon was preached by Rev. Turnipseed of Lancaster, S. C. On the same day, at 8:30 p. m., the baccalaureate sermon was delivered by Rev. Dr. Wilkinson ,/of Augusta, Ga. Both of these sermons were good, especially the one by Dr. Wilkinson, which was a masterpiece of its kind. Monday morning, the 10th, at 10:30, the law department held moot court. This part of the exercises, in which ouryonnglawyersare arrayed against one another, fighting imaginary cases, is always interesting. At 4:90 the class day exercises were i held. This has always been an attractive feature of the commencement program, and the one of yesterday was no exception. * At 8:30 |he two historic literary societies?the Euphradian and the Clariosophic?held their, annual celebra. tion. Here, the work of literary societies is recognized as being one of ,the most important factors in the work of the student: so much so that each society gives its graduating members a diploma, which is prized as highly as that from the University itself. Both societies offer, annually, two beautiful medals one each to their best debator and best declaimer. The awards this year were as follows: Euphradian, debater's medal, to T. ** ti?i ill. -QUUlWitrc, Ul vut;iuia, ucvmuuer's, to J. J. Bush, of Aiken. In the Clariosophic, debater's medal to C. L. Shealy, of Lexington; declaimer's, i to S. S. Williams, of Orangeburg. Tuesday, the 11th, was commencement day proper, and fifty-five degrees were confered upon graduating students. The chief feature of the day was the annual commencement address, which was delivered by Hon. Edward Ward Carmack, of Tennessee. This distinguished gentleman and I statesman charmed bis large audience for an hour?his simple words of wisdom flowing as freely as the spring brook. Many of the new graduates will return next session?some to study law; some to work for the master's degree; others to do special work. There is no institution in the State that offers better courses in the field of higher education than the State university. The members of the faculty are all specialists in their respective departments, and are recognized as being among the ablest educators , in the south today. This is no place for children; but the young men and young women who are prepared for college work, could do nothing bettor than to decide to attend this school. tiTftnlrl Ka ucnaniollv nlonuinrr fn AV U VUIVI VV/ voyv,vi?iij %v ' the writer to see a large number of young Lexingtonians matriculate here ! for the next session.

XT XT PnnnlnerViom 1 LUopyrigut, iwi, ujr m. ~ ??j Mrs. Bowser went shopping the other afternoon, and as she returned home at half past 4 she found Mr. Bowser with his coat off making a flower bed in the front yard. It had been talked over and agreed that there should be a flower bed in a certain spot, but it had been also understood that Mrs. Bowser was to make the bed and grow snch flowers as she chose. She therefore looked to Mr. Bowser for an explanation, and he said: "I hadn't a thought of doing this when f went away this morning, but something happened right after dinner that may be called the hand of Providence. You have heard of what is called the Lawson pink, haven't you?" "I've read about it" "Thomas W. Lawson of Boston paid $40,000 for a pink and named it after himself, and it is said that he made over a million dollars out of it Orders came for his pinks from all over the world. If it hadn't been for a brindle cow breaking into his yard one night and gxilping all the pinks down, he'd have made more money than John D. Rockefeller." "Well, what has this to do with your getting home at this hour of the day and making a flower bed?" asked Mrs. Bowser. Wanted to Sell Tulip. "As I said, the hand of Providence seems to be in it A man came into the office this morning and asked for Jones. I told him there was no Jones 1LLKIXQ A FLO WEB BED IN THE FBONT YABD. around there. He seemed very much put out, and I finally learned from him that he wanted to sell Jones a tulip ?a tulip that will knock the Lawson pink colder 'n a wedge. The man is a florist and has been experimenting for the last ten years with tulips. He has finally struck it", "With a club?" was Innocently asked. "How many colors do you see in the ordinary tulip?" he queried as he dropped his voice to a whisper and looked all around to see if anybody was listening. "Two or three." "And what would you say to one showing seventeen?seventeen different colors, Mrs. Bowser, and all of them so bright and vivid as to arouse the beholder to the heights of enthusiasm and admiration? Lawson and his old pink can go hang. They are not in it They are not within a hundred miles of being in It In a month or six weeks from now Samuel Bowser and the Bowser tulip will be talked about on the streets of Constantinople on the ma Hand onH Sih*?rin An thf? ntlw?r. There will be a crowd of a thousand people in front of our house all day long. There will be forty policemen on duty here. There will be from five to twenty reporters interviewing us day and night I will be filling orders from, the uttermost ends of the earth. Tomorrow I shall order 1,000 photographs and be ready for the papers. By thunder, Mrs. Bowser?by thunder, we have hit it at lastr Paid $25 For It. His earnestness and enthusiasm couldn't help bat touch her a bit, but presently she asked in a business voice: "And what did you pay for this wonderful tulip?" "What do you think? He had seen and talked with .Tones on u previous occasion. Jones had agreed to give him $500. As he had now lost track of Jones and as he wanted the money to pay off a chattel mortgage on his horse, I saw my opportunity. I laughed at him, I sneered at him?in brief, I bulldozed him into taking $25 for the tulip. There were tears in his eyes as ha TT'rknf /nYt '* "Yes: tears of joy. I'd shed a few myself fc that much money Mr. Bowser, you've been worked again." He Gets Vexed. ( "Woman, don't talk to me '.hat way! I am no child. I think I understand human nature as well as you do. and I'll take my dying oath that the man is all right. He offered to go before a notary and make oath that it was a seventeen colored tulip a?d that it was the only one In the known world If I hadn't taken it, he'd have gone on to 4 *A. - . 4 > see Lawson and probably got $20,000 j for it." The bulb was wrapped up in tissue paper. Mrs. Bowser looked at'it and saw tbat it bad four or five green I sprouts ready to do more growing, but tbat it didn't differ from tbe ordinary : tulip bulb. j "I ought to have bad tbat $25 to get ; me a dress witb," she finally said as ire returned tbe bulb. I "To get a dress witb! Great beav| ns, you compare a dress to a tulip ! witb seventeen different colors, to a j tulip tbat will make our name famous j in a month, to a tulip that may bring I us in tens of thousands of dollars with| in a few weeks! Stop and think of the supreme selfishness of it. By John, I wouldn't have believed that such human nature existed! In your envy and jealousy and selfishness you would have the thing a failure, but it won't be. I have the bed prepared, and I will now set out the tulip. It will ** tttIII flAin?lch Tf will thrnw ^Lun it, niii uvu& iou* aw i*?u vMkwf* out its seventeen different colors. You can go on." Mrs. Bowser entered the house, and the bulb was placed in the middle of the bed. It was an hour to dinner, | and during the interval Mr. Bowser j sat down on the steps to watch and ! guard. A dog came along and jumped the fence and would have pulled the btilb ' from the ground by one of the shoots had not the watcher yelled at him. A hoodlum came along and looked ; over the gate and asked Mr. Bowser If he was going into turnip growing. The cold stare he received made his scalp tingle. A tramp came along and recognized the bulb as'a sugar beet and wanted to discuss the rise aiid fall of the vegetable, but he was ordered to move on in snch tones that he was reminded of lunatics and mad dogs. Watched tho Plant. During the dinner hour Mrs. Bowser asked no questions, and the tulip was not referred to. Acting under instructions from Mr. Bowser, the cook took frequent peeps from the basement winl dows to see that no one entered the j yard. As he rose from the table he said to Mrs. Bowser: I "Madam, I shall pass the evening on the front steps. If you are planning to throw hot water on my tulip or otherwise destroy it, you will meet with disappointment." "But why should I wish to destroy your tulip?" she protested. "Why have you made twelve different attempts to assassinate me since | we were married?" I It was an hour or more before darkness came. . Mr. Bowser kept his eye on that tulip and thought of wealth and fame and pictured a rush of reporters to secure his photograph. When darkness settled down, Mrs. Bowser came to the door and asked him if he was going to sit up all night, but in reply he gave her a glare that made her shiver. He was there when the bells struck 8. So was his tulip. He was there at 9, and the tulip was nestling down in its earthy bed and preparing to grow. At 10 o'clock Mrs. Bowser came to the door again and found him nodding. The boy on the opposite side of the street who was Just getting ready to hurl a potato stayed his hand, and after standing for a moment she reentered the house and went to bed. End of the Experiment. Eleven o'clock came. Mr. Bowser was asleep and dreaming when a shadowy form stole up the street. It stopped at his gate and peered between the pickets. It made sure that the man on the steps slumbered, and then it leaped the fence and advanced upon the flower bed.

With a gurgle in his throat he made a sudden spring, tore at the dirt for a second, and as Mr. Bowser awoke with a yell the canine seized the bulb in his mouth and leaped back into the street. The yell brought Mrs. Bowser to the window. She looked down to see Mr. Bowser roll down the steps and make off after the fleeing dog. There was no one else on the street. There were flickers from the electric lights; there were ghostly shadows dancing here and there. The spirits of departed dogs and tulips frolicked up and down. And as she looked the forms of Mr. Bowser and the pursued vanished In the darkness down the street, and the just and the unjust who had been momentarily disturbed turned over in their beds and slumbered again.
