The Baccalaureate Sermon. The baccalaureate sermon by Dr. Dunbar Sunday morning was an eloquent and forceful exposition of the truth as it has been the pleasure of a Newberry audience to hear in many years. The great thoughts which it contained were clothed in beautiful language. and delivered with an inspiring eloquence. The services were conducted by the Rev. W. L. Seabrook. and prayer was offered by the Rev. S. T. Hall ,man. The music was furnished by a choir composed of college students. ,Dr. Dunbar spoke for nearly an our. ard during the whole time held he cloze and undivided attention of he class and of the large audience. He chose his text from Esther. 4:14: "Who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?" He said that out of the old tory of the language of the text came the message for this morning. The story of Esther was a bible gem, arich, condensed and brilliant frag ent of oriental history. The figure f Esther the queen stood out upon he dark background of unholy in rigue and courtly corruption. the adiant embodiment of pure goodness. ut. as with all of us. there was a upreme moment in her life, when the hadow played with the light upon the picture. and for a moment we were in doubt which would prevail. Being a queen was nothing in itself. 09ein~g a queen and doing a queenly duty. she was crowned a queen for all the ages. The text, said the speaker. was the appeal which came to her in her moment of hesitaiton, and it came as God's message this morning, and with a special significance to those whom he was to address. Esther had come to a kingdom. With us the crown of king-craft had been laid in the dust. The social ambition to Sake a prize of nobility's title was a t avesty upon the American spirit. The same appeal. said the speaker. was for those wh had conr.e toi a kingd'om of .vcalth. It was for thosa NEWBERRY'S CANDIDATES. They Inspire the Poet and He Tells of Them in Verse. I am sitting near the bee gums and the bees are buzzing round. The roses have been blooming and their leaves are on the ground; The first young rose of summer was as sweet as it could be. Put the busy bees with honey are the sweetest things to me. The branches of the shadow trees are thick above my head. The green grass of the season at my rested feet is spread: The partridge in the wheat field is with whistle clear and sunny While the bees are in their own sweet fields gathering up the honey. The honeysuckle richly gives sweet in scents to the breeze, The blue sky bends and dips it up and would give to all hearts ease; The perfumed crystals of the sun are dancing o'er the land, And the atmosphere is laden with good goods on every hand. The sweet girls roam across the fields and give the blooms a touch, And the honey dew forthwith springs up and falls at touch of such: The bees kn6w where the maids have been, and they linger in their wake. And the fruit of the combination is the honey that they make. You talk about your baby. your flow er and your b'rd. Your grand and weetest music. the best you eve, heard: I turn them ove-' to you-they are dear but still are free But the music filled with sweetness is the. humming .f the bee. There is honey in each trembling strain and every chord and sound Of the buzzing bees of summer, wheresoever they be found: And the girls and bees and roses of the good old summer time. With the breezes and the fragrance. make it beautiful, sublime. The ant is busy with her work and toilng all the day. And all the hosts are active and are struggling up the way: But of all the busy workers from the mountains to the sea. There is none so truly busy as the busy, busy bee. Her sweetness is not wasted on the desert air around. But it's stored up in the honeycomb, in gums so safe and sound: And when the gums have swoolen and the bees hang out their sign, The robber robs without a fear of paying fee or fine. Stolen honey sweetest is. from comb so fine and thick. And when you see it o uzing out you want to get there quick: You want a thousand tongues to help and aid you in your plan To roll more drops of honey then than any other man. ISweet morsel of the dripping cells, the price oi comb so clear. When next. by gum, you open wide. let me be there. .be there; I'll want to be on hand again, with room and space to spare, For wheresoever, the honey is. I wish to have my share. But th,ere are other bees that 'buzz about, are buzzing everywhere, A buzzing in the county round and on the court house square: They sometimes sting, and, as a rule, the stingers lose 'their sticks These bees : au hear buzzing now are the bees of politics. There is a great big bumble bee. and the hec of smaller size. Anud the king bee and all others, hard working for the prize: They are searching all the nields for They lost no time but struck a bee, bee line to get there quick; One flew ahead of all the rest-her song was: "Dominick." The mosquitoes yellow fever have? -they might have "yaller jan ders". But the bees of politics have "knot I -one camped on Mr.,Sanders. They viewed the fields from every hill and top of "these here dig gins." IWhen one sang out: "I've got him bees, his name is Wistar Hig gins." They used their silver, honey tongues -each bee a fine art nibbler The balance all had found their jobs: one succumbed on Mr. Kibler. They battled up Port Arthur bay, and the fleet was in high glee It made things interesting like, on the polly tickle sea Everybody went out t6 look. and they went far out to see, Including in the merry group big you and little me. The squad run on the windy wings, quaffing breezes to their fill, And then float in and out of town one blown to Mr. Hill. The office of the sheriff had been bombarded some, And the captain of the Buford guards once more had heard the hum.

When the crop is made and harvest come. to some 'twill not be funny, That often hard. hard ups and downs they've been robbed of all their honey: But such is life in the politics. the fields hold live and dead, The lucky ones get honey comb. the unlucky brush-bee bread. When the last big bee of summer then is buzzing left alone, And all his big companions have the honey juice and gone, He'll feel like a big green June bug on the hottest August day, With thread around his weary back, tied in a knot to stay.

On Cooper's blue-tide banks they swarmed. without one word of lease: But they had a duty to perform-to solicit Mr. Sease: And when they had performed the same, with all their might and main, They scampered back to town once more and got in their work again. They scattered to the right and left, and left no signs to roamer; The bee mine has been sprung on sight. and it enveloped Mr. Crpm er.
