throe vocal graduates, there has been
, a4 recital, either vocal or instrumen
tal, or some other enjoyable entertain
ment almost every evening.
The department of expression, of
which Miss Laura Bridgman of Co
lumbia is the head, rendered a most
interesting programme on Saturday
evening. Among the .numbers was a
short play entitled, "The Barrack
Room," and at the close of the pro
gramme and at the repeated request
of her admirers. Miss Bridgman re
cited a charming selection.
Monday several young ladies con
tested for a gold medal awarded for
elocution, which was won by Miss
Dot Bull of Ellor'ee. The medal was
delivered by Hon. Thos. F. Brantley
in one of his characteristically neat
little talks. 6
.Monday afternoon, the art class held
their annual levee, which was at
tended by a large throng of art lov
ers from the town. "This department,
under the direction of Miss Elizabeth
Parker of North Carolina, has been
one of the most popular departments
of the college. Miss parker has been
with the college for four years and
theTe is a. genuine feeling of regret
that she will not return in the fall.
. Monday evening the annual concert
was he.'u and Tuesday morning there
was an oratorical contest by some of
the cadets, a competitive drill in the
afternoon, and, as already said, the
commencement exercises Tuesday
evening
The exercises were held this year
in the college chapel, t hich was en
larged during the year. Heretofore
they have always been held in the
Academy of Music.
The commencement sermon was
?reached in the Baptist church Sun
day morning by Rev. R. N. Pratt of
the Second Baptist church of Colum
bia in the presence of a very large
audience.
The sermon was a very scholarly
one, and another large crowd again
greeted Mr. Pratt in the evening,
when he delivered a sermon to the
Young Men's and Young Women's
Christian associations of the college.
As is usual, the commencement ex
ercises attracted quite a number of
friends of the graduates and college
from all sections of the State.
The faculty for next year has not
yet been announced, but it is under
stood that there will be a majority of
new faces.
Prof. Peterson, who has most suc
cessfully managed the Institute for
the past several years, will be in
charge of it again next year. On ac
count of the panic things were not as
prosperous with the school this year
as they have been, but this will all be
overcome before it opens again.
Prof. Peterson has worked hard
and done a most valuable 'work for
a great many young people. To ac
complish which he has had to make
many sacrifices, both in time and
money. In which we are free to say
he has not been sustained this year
by the patronage the school ought to
have received as he should have been.
Tnis school should be kept crowded
by young people from Orangeburg
County alone.
Confessed to Bigamy. ""????
The Columbia State says W. C.
Fogie, an Orangeburg cotton mill
operative, recently came to Columbia,

PLEASANT ENTERTAINMENT.
Patrons and Friends of Julia Acade
my Have Good Time.
Here we are at Julia Academy
again ready for "Just any thing" to
amuse a kindly audience and realize
a remuneration with which to plant
the Building.
As usual for this place no set pro
gram- nothing being arranged for ex
cept ice cream cake and lemonade for
sale. About four o'clock in the after
noon of 15th instant the members of
the Local Association assembled at
the school house each bringing what
had been assigned them at the last
regular meeting in preparation for
the festival. Every one thought that
was all there would be. In the mean
time and organ had been placed on
the rostum by Mr. H. K. Schoenberg,
(who is/ very fond of music) and
thought perhaps he could induce a
"fr.ee will offering" in that line, from
"just anybody" for amusement. What
an ertertaihment grew out of it!
j First was a duet by Misses Marie and
|Galriele Schoenberg, followed by an
pmusing recitation by Prof. Williams
of a near by school. While Mr. Ebbie
Sharp who is excellent help on such
occasions was hunting up some other
recitation in the audience music was
furnished by Miss Julia Sawyer. \ In
a few minutes Mr. Sharp returned
to the rostum and announced the
names of Misses Julia and Bessie
Sawyer.' Messrs. Boles. Juneile Liv
ingston and ProiJ. Williams again all
of whom entertained with their very
best selections having music at in
tervals. Then to the delight of al.*
present the string baud from the
Hopewell section appeared on the
grounds. Jn a few minutes they"
with music. Alma Livingston at the
organ delighted the audience until
every music thirsty soul was feasted*
to its utmost capacity.
Now, the attention was called tc'
the fact that upon a former occasion
the young lady who received the
slice of cake with a ring in it was
happily married a few weeks ago. And
that there was now on hand a cake
which contained a thimble bearing
the same omen. Many young ladies
walked and talked for that thumble,
finally fortune placed it in the hand
of Miss Maggie Knotts of the Hope
well section.
? Now for the bachelors, a pipe cane
had been :-oncealed in a cake to point
oat to some young man his lonely
path. The cake was numbered, 5
cents a guess, the one coming near
est the fatal number was to receive
it. Nobody seemed anxious for that
cake, but alas! Doom alighted on
our young friend Prof. Bob. Sawyer.
The workers have $16.00 raised
for their trouble. Everybody present
had a "good time" and ready for
"just anything" at Julia Academy
again. One Present.
Rural Carriers to Meet.
The Rural Letter Carrier's Associa
tion of Orangeburg County will meet
here on next Saturday. All mem
bers are urged to be present "and a
cordial invitation is extended to each
and every rural carrier and subbsti
tute in the County to come an join in
the work of organization. We need
and want you to come and I think
It will be a day profitably spent. At
this meeting the annual election of
officers for the ensuing yaar will be
held, also the selection of .delegates
to -the State asociation meeting at
Aiken in July. All are urged to
come out. Just a few have been try
ing to keep the Association together
and they are almost discouraged at
tbe lack of interest taken by other
carriers in the County.
"Cleaning Up Week."
It is a fact worthy of mention that
the local physicians report less sick
ness In Orangeburg now than at the
same season, for several years past.
The people are being urged to co-oper
ate with the board of health in keep
ing the city thoroughly clean, and
very shortly a time will be designated
as "cleaning up week," when every
body is expected to lend a hand in
removing from the street and all pre
mises everything that might cause
unsanitary conditions to prevail. All
efforts along this line are under the
direct supervision of Orangeburg's
efficient health officer, Mr. F. A.
Schiffley, who has accomplished much
for the health of the people of this
town.
, Woman Uses a Razor.
In a difficulty Tuesday morning,
about four miles from the city, Jane
Cobbs was severely slashed with a
razor by her sistor-in-law, Rosa
Cobbs. Both are colored. The row
was caused by Jane accusing Rosa of
poisoniug the former's chickens. The.
wounded woman bears an ugly gaJi
extending across the back, and which
required 14 stitches. She was
brought here for medial attention.
Rosa was lodged in jail, hut latter
released on $300 bail, the attend
ing physician. Dr. Walter, certifying
that unless complications arise the
wound is not dangerous.
Connecting With Sewerage.
Since the greater part of the sew
erage system has been completed and
accepted by the^city the plumbers
have had their hands full in making
connections with residences and
business houses. Indications are
that all property owners who arc
financially able will connect, and it
is expected that within a short space
of time this greatest of all modern
conveniences will be in general use
throughout the city.

Many Drinks Sold.
Tuesday was base ball day at the

they were kept busy from early
morn until dewey eve dispensing the
most palatable and refreshing drinks
and other ices from one of the hand
somest soda fonts inthe State. Over
eight hundred drinks were sold dur
ing the day, which we guess is the
largest number ever dispensed in

contribution to the base ball fund.

go to Doyles as they know over there
jtist how to fix them up in the latest
and most improved style. '

A COMEDY OP ERRORS.
Ornngeburg Loses to Rock Hill in a
Poorly Played Game.
Rock Hill took the first game from
Orangeburg in a game that was full
of errors from start to finish by a
score of three to two. Up to the 7th
inning neither side had gotten many
hits. Rock Hill scored one run in
the second by Richardson getting his
base on balls and scoring on passed
balls and a fumbled ball.
In the fifth inning Orangeburg
made two runs by bunts and wild
pitches to first. When Orangeburg
resorted to bunting the Roch HUI
bunch seemed to be nQnp'lussed and
before they could steady themselves
Orangeburg had gotten two men over
the home plate. These were the only
runs we made during the game.
In the eighth inning Rock Hill
scored >two runs, which won the
game for her. In this inning Rich
ardson hit a three bagger, but luckily
rfock Hill did not have a man on
base. It looked at this time as if
Rock Hill was going to pile up the
scores, but when the inning was over
she had only scored two runs, thanks
to the good pitching of Brunson and
the fielding of the other boys. There
were no more scores after this.
The feature of the game was the
kicking of Guy Gunter and other
members of his team. Umpire Hem
rick refused to be bulldozed by Gun
ter and- finally had him removed
from the players grounds. He took
a seat on the bleachers, where he
continued to kick fall by himself.
Neither pitcher yielded many hits.
Richardson won the game for Rock
Hill by a three bagger in the eighth
inning. He is a good player and a
thorough gentleman.
The following is the box score:

Small Towns Best.
No stronger portrayal of the effect of
the cities on our citizenship was ever
made than in those striking words of
Weudell Phillips:
"My ideal of civilization is a very
high one. but the approach of It is a
New England towu of some 2,000 in
habitants, with no rich man and no
poor man in It, all mingling in the same
society, every child at the same school,
no poorhouse. no beggar, opportunities
equal, nobody too proud to stand aloof,
nobody too humble to be shut out.
That's New England as it was fifty
years ago. The civilization that lin
gers beautifully on the hillsides of
New England, nestles sweetly In the
valleys of Vermont, the moment It ap
proaches a crowd like Boston or a
milliou of men gathered In one place
like New York rots. It cannot stand
the greater centers of modern civiliza
tion."
Deforestation Opposed.
[An appeal to save the trees which bene
fit mankind and towns.]

FARMERS' HOLD YOUR COTTON*.
Advice Given by Mr. Hands, President
of the Union.
President Harris of the State Far
mers' union has issued the follow
ing circular to the 25,000 members
of the order in this State:
"Cetton has advanced $7.50 per bale
in 10 days and if we will hold to it.
and not be influenced to sell, it. will
in the next 10 days make the same
advance and the minimum will be
reached. Remember the 1907 crop
is 4,500,000 bales short. This makes
cotton scarce, not enough for con
sumption. Crop conditions the low
est in 20 years.
"On the 24th, Texas and Oklaho
ma were visited by the most destruc
tive flood that has everr been known.
"May 10th, our national rpesi
dent, C. S. Barrett, issued a circular
letter, asking the union men to plow
up 10 per cent, of the cotton planted
and put it in fodd crops. One million
acres has been reported plowed up.
This looks as if the boys mean busi
ness and will stand behind their guns.
"Do not listen to those who tell
you to sell, it is "going lower, when
they know it will go upward by
June.
"Do not forget that corn is $1.10
per bushel and plenty of time to
plant yet. Well filled corn cribs and
smoke houses will always make cot
ton bring the minimum price.
"Both the European and American
mills are about out of cotton, so hold
to your spots and get the minimum
price."

A Home-Made Refrigerator.
Take two large boxes, the second
somewhat smaller on all sides, and
bore two one-inch holes in each cor
respondingly, to give drainage and
ventilation. Fill up the bottom of
the larger box with powdered char
coal for sawdust, if charcoal cannot
be procured) until the smaller box
will stand on a level w.... the top of
the larger box. Put the inner box in
place, and fill up all the space around
the sides with the charcoal. Fasten
lids on both boxes to fit tightly. On
each side of the inner box, by means
of cleats, put several shelves, leav
ing a space in the center for the ice.
A rack made of lathing may be laid
at the bottom, for the ice to rest,
upon. Legs may be added, also, and
the drainage and ventilation in this
way be improved. This is a rough
refrigerator, but it will save your ice.
A Sad Death.
On the morning of .May 17th the
angel of death visited the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Fred X. Rickenbaker's
and claimed their darling Baby. An
nie .May, aged one year and eleven
months and three days. All that lov
ing hands and tender hearts could do.
was done for her. Bui Cod needed
one more angel child amidst his shin
ing band and so He beul with loving
smile and clasped our darling's hand.
She was a remarkable luighl child,
for her age and was the pride of us
all. They have the consolation of
knowing their darling is safe in the
arms of Jesus. She was laid to rest,
in Four-Holes Cemetery beneath a
mound of flowers.
"The little crib is empty now.

NOTABLE MEDICAL DISCOVERY
Of Special Value to Many Heir in
Orangeburg.
A notable medical discovery and
one tbat appeals especially to many
people in Orangeburg is the combina
tion of stomach remedies in the Mi
o-na treatment. This preparation
has worked wonders in cases of in
digestion or weak stomach.
It acts specifically upon the walls
of the stomach and bowels, strength
ening and stimulating them so that
they readily take care of the food
that is eaten without distress or suf
fering.
So positive are the good effects fol
lowing the use of Mi-o-na that the
remedy is sold by Dr. J. G. Wanna
makey Mfg. Co., under an absolute
guarantee to refund the money if i'
fails to cure. With an offer lik<
this, none can afford to suffer with
indigestion or stomach troubles. A
50-cent box of Mi-o-na will do more
good than half-a-dozen boxes of ordi
nary diggestive tablets.
