April Ti.-The closing exorcises of Highland so hool took place at the large academy hall on Friday night laat. Prof. Arthur M. Erwin, principal, and Mis? Mariah Deudy, assist ant, hud arranged a well selected pro gram. After prayer, by Kev. R. L. Rogers, the school of fifty bright and intelligent pupils marched to music upon tho large stago sud sang "Flag of tho Free." At the close of the song the otago waa cleared and little Boll Stribliug, a prime little lass of only six summers, eame for ward and with olear voice and plain ?r tioulatlou gave us "Good Measure." 8he certainly handled the negro diuloct well for her tender years. Next came tho dialogue, "Choosing Vocations," by half dozen smaller boya and girls. Grand and noble aspirations did they picture in the "viewless fated future.' Soon the curtain fell on those little ones and their fenoles for the future, aud as lt rose again Master Monroe MoDon old donned the role vf the Palmetto ora tor and had for his subject "South Caro lina." One oouldn't help but feel patri otic sud proud of our graud old State and her noble young son as bo Bhowed her rapid Btrides in material prosperity and raised her high standards and oom S?ired her favorably with her sister -tates. Next came "Playful Little Ones." A score or more of little ones had an all round good time on the stage for a few moments as they played "leap-frog," "turned summer-sots," playod "tag," ?Sro., A- e. "Frog Hollow Lyceum" oamonoxtand the leading oharaoters were roprosouted by Misses Cora Wyly and Paullue Hughs, who tried to impress the subjeot of "Woman's Rights ' on their gentlemen hearers, but tho young men or boys of Richland, very much Uko thoir fathers, had no time nor inolinatiou to listen to , suoh harauguos, and the meeting broke up in great confusion. After a slight pause tho curtain rose again and wo were presented with tho beautiful, solemu aud sacred tabloau, "Rook of Agos.*' Miss Anuie McMahan posed in this BCOUO as sho kuools half re clining, with her face pressed against aud hor snow-whito arms clinging to tho cross, and ber heavy head of long, dark brown hair, looso and hanging well on to the floor. While wo gazed upon this pioturo aud as the white Hash light was thrown upou lt, giving a ula! uah.ry ci ted, wo .could truthfully say with tho poet, Scott: "Ne'er did Crec?an ch i /.el trace A nymph, a neiad, or a grace Of lovelier form or fairer face." But from tho sublimo to tho ridiculous. As tho curtain roso agaiu, out stepped Iii nee Stribliug, in his lovely suit of blue overalls aud bogan "Managing a Mulo." He reasoned wid do mulo and plowed bim, but suddonly dot mulo did kick amazing aud knock him a summersault aud by the time ho gained his equilib rium dot mule was grazin on tho udder sido do creek. Mother gooso thon carno out with ber numerous family, appropriately cos tumed and gavo us a nico little medloy. Just hero wo pausod to hear a soul stirring vocal duet by .Misses Poarlo and Lalla Ballongor. Next was tho recitation, "Jimmie Butler und tho Owl," hy Miss Emily Dendy. Miss Emily was robed in spot less white, made lovoly appearanco, was at her best and is possessed of rare elocu tionary powors and controls hor voice well. As she nuule tho owl to sing out his weird aud lonesome notes it fairly made the hair riso on the hoad of a bald headed man. Master Stiles Strlbling carno next with tho recitation, "Tho Night Winds." Wo drow our robos about us and actually shivered as he voiced tho moaning and how lin;; Of tho lonesome night winds. Next e.uno tho "Japanese Lantern Drill." This certainly was a thing of beauty-sixteen girls-each one bearing a stan with a large loop at tho lop and throe to five lighted lanterns artistically arranged iu the loop. Those girls gave us a ten minutes drill, completing several different formations, a large star and others, with tho ease and precision of military cadets of sovoral years' traiii ??K Then carno tho "Wondorful Dreams" of two boys. Thoir dreams wore largo, up and high around. Miss Lalla Ballengor came noxt with the recitation, "A Narrow Escapo." Miss Lalla began in her timid, self-com posed mid queenly manner aud at < mci entered into tho spirit of lier piece and pictured tho narrow escapo of tho emly settlors in thu frontier lifo witli tho In dians. To be brief, wo will just say, wc have hoard a number of recitations in the halls of higher learning and elo cution, but wo have never hoard thu recital ion excelled auywhcro. The take-oil of tho evening carno next in "The Old Maitis' Association." Four teen of our grown-up gjrls formed at association of old maids and dressed ir the costumes of tho long ago when ;. ut thom were sweet sixteou. They matti a crusade on tho young and old bache lora and widowers around Richland mu their local bits just simply brought dowi tho house and bachelors didn't daru U i aisc their voices or hoads. Just hort the French Professor, Arthur M. Erwin appeared with a now process and appa rates and made old maids young ant attractive agaiu, and it was a novel sigln to soo those elderly maidens, so anxioui to sacrifice themselves, be ground u| and made over into fresh and bloom inf youth. Mr. Erwin's Fionch dialect ant machino was just simply catchy and tak ing, that was all. "Haunted House" was nicely gottoi off by two boys. Tho " Ten Virgins" was a lovely scono "A Highly Respected Deba ti a' Sacioty' was well carried out by sovoral of tin older boys of the burnt cork porsuasioi and did fair credit to our brothers ii black. A pretty song, "Twilight," was nicol sung by eight lovely girls. But just her Rov. R. L. Rogers came on the stage ?ur said ho bad a secret to make known t the audience and school, lu bis han ho hold a beautiful solid gold prise to h awarded to thc pupil who had not misse a day during tho six moutlis term ? School. Miss \ unie McMahan came fol ward and recoived this prize. Stilt Stribliug received honorable mention, li having not missed a day since ho entere school flvo mouths ago. This closed tho exercises, and w think tho Richland school should t proud of their offerts, and too miic pi aise will hardly bo given our teachei for their maiden efforts in tho closin exercises. Mr. Erwin, as master of oxo mses, certainly showed himself equal 1 the occasion. Thus closod another voi successful year at Richland academy. Tho school is greatly indebted to M ii Marion Coo for her valuable assistant and the uso of hor piano in tho music. Prof. A. M. Erwin loaves this mornii: for Columbia to stand thc oom petita examination for tho Cecil Rodes soli?la Bhip in Oxford University, England. I was select eil by his alma mator (Erakit College) to ropresont her in com pet i tit for tliis honor. Ile is an all-round, \v< educated young mau, and wo think I stands a fair chance to win. A. M. Erwin and Miss Lillian Erwi from A nt i eydie, S. C., father mid sist of our teacbor, carno up to bo preset Friday night. A largo repr?sentation from Walhall Westminster, Soneca and other points the county witnessed tho closing oxt cisos of our school. Our academy hall was far too snit for tho audience Friday night mid the was not standing room, much less seal Tho audience was estimated all tho w from 700 to 1,000.
