The I*. M. I. Commencement. Thc annual commencement exercises of tho Patrick Military Institute begun last Sunday with tho commencement sermon, which was preached at 11.30 a. m. in the Baptist Church hy Kev. J. Walter Daniel, of Abbeville. Tho l'rcsbyterian and Methodist Churches were closed, and as a consequence a very large congregation was present. Hov. 0. L. Martin, pastor of thc Baptist Church, and Kev. W. W. Daniel, ot the Methodist Church, occupied sects on the rostrum and assisted in the servi ces. Thc choir was composed of mem bers from thc several Churches, and the music was very sweet and appro priate to the occasion. Mr. Daniel announced Iiis text from the latter clause of the 1st verse of the 21st chapter of Revelations : "And t here was no more sea." In his open ing remarks the preacher referred to thc ad ai rs in Kui opr. thc Chinese-.Jap anese war, the American-Spanish war. and other important events of recent years, and showed that the hand of Providence was engaged in directing all of them. The world, ho said, was ?trowing closer together, und that space ind been annihilated. Freedom was extending throughout the world, and the Kingdom of God would eventually be established in every section of the glebe. lie said that it was a blessing that slavery had been wiped out of existence in our grand Itepublic. He spoke of the wonderful inventions of man within thc last quarter of a cen tury. It was a grand sermon, and the solemn truths wore masterfully pre sented. The speaker's voice is ? little weak and at times we could not catch all of his words, which we regret, for we would like very much to have pub lished a full synopsis, at least, of his sermon, which consumed more than nu hour's time in its delivery. Tuesday morning the regular com mencement exercises ware held in the. Institute Chapel. After delightful mid inspiring music, tho exercises were opened with prayer by Kev. O. L. Mar tin. Cadet Lieut. T. R. Hamlin, of Char leston, ?. C., was then introduced. His ?ubject wa?, "Malions Di? Suicides." Cadet Adj. L. A. Smith followed with an oration on "Unity of Purpose." Cadet Sergt. J. M. Masters, ot this County, then delivered his oration on "Unappreciated Greatness." The feature of the day wns tho an nual address before tho Cadets by J. W. Shelor, Esq., of Walhalla. Ho ably and eloquently discussed the elements .necessary to success in the 20th cen tury. He spoke 40 minutes and held thc attention of Iiis audience through out. Tuesday evening the joint debate took place. The subject was, "Resolv ed, That Corporations are Beneficial to a Peoplo." The exercises were opened with prayer by Rev. W. T. Caners. The representatives of the Polyhymnian Society were W. L. Alston, declaimer; S. E. Leveret te and J. B. Felton, de baters. The representatives of the Calophemian Society were E. R. Par ker, declaimei ; S. M. Wolfe and J. A. Wyman, debaters. All these young gentlemen acquitted themselves creditably. The judges rendered the decision in favor of the affirmative. The Cost of the City Schools. At tho last meeting of the City Coun cil Superintendent Walton, of the An derson Graded Schools, submitted thc following report, which is indeed a most, creditable one : To tbe Hon.
