The Half-Way school, which was taught by Miss Annie Louise Taylor of Lexington, closed with appropriate exercises on the 21st instant. The exercises consisted of declamations, dia logues and tableaux, the rendition of which wis greatly enjoyed by the en*" tire audience. After two or three- hundred people had assembled the curtain was drawn at 7:30 p. m., and the exercises, as arranged on the programme, were began. They were immensely enjoyed by the audience, and to make the cci casion more appreciative, there was ' plenty of good music, which was exceedingly well rendered by Messrs Kleckley and Lown. To the delight of the audience, Mr. M. L. filmier, of Columbia, made a short address, which was quite appro- , priate and well received. He was - ' V scheduled as the first speaker, bat prex ceded the valedictory address, which was well delivered by Master Harry Lee Klapman. In conclusion, it may be said that Miss Taylor did herself credit in [thoroughly training and instructing her pupils not only for the closing exercises, but for the entire session, and it seemed as if patrons, as well as others, toot: a great deal of interest in the accomplisqments attained by the pu<i pils, which speaks well for the com, munity. * X. "How I Got To College." David U. Bloodworth, a ministerial student of Leesville College, deliyered his famous lecture on "How I Got to College," in the court house on Friday night. On account of the Half-way school closing, which took many of our people away, there was only a am all rvreHfrnt. Mr. Blood worth's life-story, as told by himself, is indeed an interesting one, arid it should be an inspiration to every young man who has to struggle for an education.

Much cotton has been planted and in some localities it is coming up. However, with good weather conditions, the bulk of the crop will be planted this week. Small grain is almost a failure. Especially is this true of the * oat crop, as the fly, a little insect, has attacked the crop almost everywhere. Gary Gist, a 19-year-old negro, was sentenced at Spartanburg on Friday f, by Judge Wilson to be hanged the 26th of May for attempted assault.

Marion Rish, born February 23, 1884; died April 12, 1911, aged 27 years, 1 month and 19 days. She leaves a father, mother, two brothers, a husband, I two children (two children navmg preceded her to the Spirit world), and a host of other relatives and friends to mourn her departure. She had been sick only about nine days and the end came as quietly as if she had drawn the drapery of her couch about her and lain down to pleasant dreams. She was given to God in infancy by holy baptism. After her marriage she united with the Florence Baptist church, of which she remained a faithful member until death. While we keenly feel our loss, we do not sorrow as those who have no hope, for we know that she will live again in that land where all is happiness, and where sorrow and death are unknown. We I know where to meet her, for she has gone to that home not made with hauds eternal in the heavens. The floral tributes were numerous and beautiful. The funeral was conducted by her pastor, Rev. N. N. Burton, and her body laid to rest by the side of her two little children in the Florence cemetery. It was hard indeed to give you up, We loved you all too well, While we are drinking sorrow's cup, Happy with the saints you dwell. Brothers. Gone to Clemson. Hon.
