Dr. Vass'b Mastbiily Commkncemejt
Sermon ?Last Sunday the annual c m
mcncement ^xcrcises of the South Carolin:
College for .women, began with the deliver]
f the haccatauroile scrtn^^^u the . First
Presbyterian Church, by^^^^Kev. L. C
Vass, D. D., ef SuvoiinulPP^Pc building
was tilled to its utmost cif . ', and tin
young ladies of the coll.igt 'o out in
brautit'ul comuienoement dres?to Iho mit
sic was cxcep'iomilly fiue and was rendered
by a special cho r.
Dr. Vass preached a masterly sermon, and
gave the young lud'es much wholesome ad
vice. He is on impressive and eloquent
^^LKv Sfcnker, end his sermon was just what might
have teen expected of a pulpit orator of his
reputation.
The subject (f his sermon was "Dcve'opnient
for True Usefulness?Our true Duly,"
based on Hebrews 0-12.
Dr. Vnss said in part:
The apostle rebukes lor failure to appreciate
and improve the des gns of Christ's
pries ly ?or?. Much wns expected from
those having much. Development of Christian
knowlC'liru and ?rnni>? , I.......... 1 ~-t
from opportunity, touching, the law of
being, and the law of the gosptl. Fo.Ktying
the line of tho apostle'a thought, Dr.
Vase tnid ho would press attention t? the
de?cl Tnjcnt of true Christian usefulness in
life, as i'aui u.d in the 12 It and '13th chapters
of this epistle.
This college education was the commence
ntent of new and broader activities. It had
been nit mere'y scholastic and scieniific,
but mora! and religious. Otherwise it
L would liavo bcea wofully hurtful, and thry
? would be but babes, wlio not de l leudcrest
nurture, and were uutilted to go out to
and good.
; Two leading thoughts were enforced with
many illustrations.
Firs', the religious foundations must be
solid. Those were the "firs' principles of
the oracles of God," repentance and fai'li,
the baptism of the Holy Ghost. One n.usi
know what a lost sinner is nod needs ; must
respect God's ordinances, and receive Grd's
word as inspired and infa'liblo.
Second, The young women must assert
their place and power as teachers of truth
in their spheres. An educated woman,
walking in the fear of God, is ilie glory nod
wealth of the world. Degrading agrarian
sentiments dethrone woman nnd make pleas
ure the chief aim of her life.
Woman's true mission was to be signalize I
under four particulars: First. She niu-t
bring beautj iu'o tho world's life. Earth's
re'ationships aud duties were shown to be
broken and repulsive of<en, and needed lifting
jinto attractiveness. No Woman can see
beauty uuless there was a sense of beauty
within herself. Christian education brought
this souse into the lit'o aud gavo power to
lead others into appreciated paths of purity,
honor, order nnd geotleuess. Sorrows might
attend effort; b it beauteous results would
reward, as drops of tho storm caught radiencc
from light and covered smiling earth
with an arch of glory.
Second. She mu-.t cheer troubled hearts
?by teaching tiust in God, by touching with
sympathy, by active usefulness in many
lives.
Third. She must give strength to society.
Noble lives like ilini of singing FrancoJlavergnl
nnd fuithful Hannah More Illustrated
the rcucwing power of social forces.
Fourth. She must glorify God by shining.
This domauded her feeding on the
milk aud strong meat of G id's Word ; and
being supremely consecrated to him. So
Count Zinzemlorf felt when standing before
an Ecce Homo iu Dusseldorf, and reading
) tho inscription : "Hoc feci pro < :; quid ftcis
' pro v\t?"
Ouly by supreme saciificc can this life of
dodio nromaniioo i oo minuet. itut it is
worth nil it costs. A beautiful illustration
rounded up this point, from a poor nud old
^ French artist, who lost his life one old

?^Washington, Juno o?The President said
thi$eVcnitig, :n reply to a direct question
by n representative of the United Press, that
lie intended to cull an extra session of Congress
net earlier than I lie first nor later than
the fifteenth of September, unless unexpected
contingencies should necessitate an earlier
meeting. The President further said :
"While there has been no mysteiy nor
secrecy in regard to tay intention iu this
matter, i think it not amiss thai out* people
should he informed authoritatively that the
time is at hand when their representatives iu
Congress will be called upon to de<l with a
financial conditlou, which is the only menace
to tlte country's welfare and prosperity, (t
)i jyell for the pvonlo to take up the subject
for themselves ana arrive a| their own conclusions
as to the merits of a financial policy
which obliges us to purchace idle silver bullion
with anlil taken from ? ? -??...
dies not need the eye of u financier to see
that this go'd thus subtracted front the government's
slock is eagerly seized by other
nations for the purpose of strengthening
their own credit at our expense.
"it does not need the art of statesmanship
to dttect lite danger that awa'ts upon a
conliouvnce of tins operation. Already the
timidity of cip tal is painful y apparent, nud
none of us cvn fail to see that the fear and
apprehension iu monetary circles will ultt- i
mutely biing suffering to every hurublo Imme |
in our laud.
"I think that between now and the meet- j
ing of Congress much uepouus upon iuc
%ction of thuso engaged in financial oporat|oD.i
anil business enterprises. Our vast
^p-otionnl resources and credit nrc abundantly
Y^iutticient to justify i hem iu I lie utmost faith
and confidence. If, instead of being flight>
entd, they are conservative, and i', instead
of gloomily anticipating immediate disaster,
they contribute their share of hopo and
steadiness, they will perform a patriotic
duty and at the same time protect their own
interest Tito things just now needed are
coolness and ualmuess in liiinncial circles
and study und rcllecion uinoDgour people."

Vcslerdny General Manager Ward of the 11

is about the siruugts' argument against the j
injustice that any of tho rnr-ad men have
made. Ho says: ^
"lAquorg cuinot be cl isscd as a necessity,
but arc almost cntiieiy a luvniy, and it is
neither fair nor just that common carriers ?
should l>e required to transpoit them at ex- J"|
ccptiot ally low rases.
Furthermore, the propos-d change will
open the door for fraud, to he practiced upon
(ho carriers iu the matter of value, inasmuch |t
as 110 limit is plnc-d upon tiro value of shipments,
and so endorsed on the bill of lading,
as is tiie en-?e when the aiticles are shipped
in wood. This prieucally makes the rate j|
on liquors etc., packed in glass, less thin (j
when transported in wood, while at the same ^
lime the risk ef damage and )o-s of breakage,
etc., is much grca'cr." .

A I^kactical IIoaI) Rkkoumkr.?While
peop'o in other Stales are talking ab <ut road
rtforrn some sotiMb'c men in Massachusetts
have taken an important step to effect a
large measure of suoli reform in that State.
The Massachusetts Legislaiurc has just
pas?c'l a bill requiring that after August 1,
18'Jt}, the tires on the wbce's of draught
wagons used in that Mate aha 1 bo from
three to five inches in width. Such t res
will make good roads instead of bad ones,
and will make good ones of had ones in some
soils. There is no hardship about the re
quircinent, moreover, as three years are
allowed tho owners of wagons ia which to
make the change.
It is a good and wise-example that the
Yankee law makers have set in this respect
?nd one that should be generally followed
?with the improvement that the same requirement
should be appled to buggy tires
is well,
South Carolina should be among the first,
States to try the same device. Narrow ties

TITTLE iiiorG than two years ago wo began business here
with a small handful of goods?"auction trash" our
competitors called it. Nothing daunted by what was said of
us, we pulled out oi the old beaten path and struck boldly
out to give you a system of merchandise you didn't have at
that time?strictly cash with only one small profit added?
everythi g marked in plain figures, and one price to all and
that the very lowest. Our competitors predicted that we
would not last long, could not sell goods at the prices we were
selling them, and keep our heads above water. It did take
nerve to'make war against old established rules, hut we dealt
rafr and square with every customer, and threw hot shot into
,he enemy's camp by selling a paper of needles for 1 cent,
naper of garden seed for 1 cent, needles, ball thread, box of
slacking, and hundreds of other things you were paying o
;ents for when we came here. People would not go on payng
the old long time, high price for goods when they could
:0111c to us and buy the same article for one-fifth the amount
hey had been paying. To supply our growing trade we have
;one 011 increasing our stock until to day we have
$25,000 WORTH OF GOODS
