This is no political sc~hemne to eatch the farmer vote but{ it ito int-re,: the farmers in progressive stock raIsing: the exhibit should draw a large crowd. and we can assure those in ch-largeo ofit that the atteudance in Clar e-idon will be as good as at any point in the State. as our people are intensely in terested in the farm demonstration ing exercier the win.'i;uo th session of Le iaunint traded co The wnte comatne'. ininrested it ito cpt la.:th s-iae-:eni::a and the 'd~ '. .i h~ a ~rr a.!V'e .V t., iep'sc: I program~l 1was carried., out 1 accordlin g to ,,he plans of Superintendlent Daniel and his corps (if assistauts. A feature of the even;-,s one pb abi of mhore inteest a to t ay tone oth'er, was the debate "Isesolved. That Conress should imn ediately provide fOr the farher strentheni. ra te Nav." The pirmato wsde as D'avi-: the iinative by Nliss Hle-n Boger1 and Chri pot.Themse students gave clear evidence of having- made ood search for the data to get up tair respective sides and they discussd the subject in a manner thatz. impressed their hearers sufficiently to create a. division of opinion as to which side was entitIld to thetdecision, and even. afterl thie judg(,es- rendered their decision there was stil a division as to the correctness of the couclusion of the judges who were Messrs. Cnarlton DuRant, W. C. Davis and J. H. Lesesne. However, there is no appeal from a decision of I the judges in a case like this and there fore the decision in favor of the nega tive must stand. J. H. Lesesne in some well chosen words delivered the Loryea medal to Miss Celeste Ervin of the seventh grade. Then there was another song by the school "Welcome Pretty Prtnro.'e. Rev. F. H. Shuler came forward and in aorouriate ianguagre took occasion to say some nice thin-s about the speaker of the evening. Dr. H. N. Snyder, presi den of Wofford College. This is not! Dr. Snyder's first visit to Manning, and It in the course of his opening remarks he alluded to his previous visits. and ne felicitated the peonie on the signs of E improvement that'had come under hisJi observation since he was here before. Those who went out to hear a fine ad dress were not disappointed: the dis- I tinguished visitor knows what to say. how to say, and when to say. He is alt master of the English language, and -q noted all over the land. for his deep learning, and his ability to impart E knowledge, Doctor Snyder for about forty minutes entertailned his large f audience with an address which was full of thought. one that has the stanp of the student. and one calculated to leave its impress upon his hearers. He I stressed the importance of training the 1 vouuz, to begin them right they should t not be satisLied with a ninety per cent. 0 average, but should strive and master their books to make the highest'mark. c The Doctor had no special text or subject. His whole address was the subject of education of the mind and heart. He has an easy mannew of de livery, and his remarks are frequently made the more impressive by t.he cha.- t acter- of illustration. He does not at tempt any humorous saying as so many platform speakers dd. but at the same time. he presents his argument in a c manner which comoels attention and t interest, All who hear him are ever t ready to hear him again. E Upon the conclusion of the address S the Doctor delivered the diplomas to the following graduates: Misses pam- 3 mie Bradham, Helen Bozer. Dt 2ant t Epps, pita Nimmer. Anna Belle Epp.5, I Janie Wilson, Maria Strange, Louise Hugu ins, Chovine Clark. Julian Creecv. Ludlow Timmons. glbert Davis, Charlie I Sprott.. Crosweli Davis. The friends of the graduating class were on hand and sent up to the stagre many floral tributes. The music for the occasion was direct ed by Miss Jessie McLean. Professor I Daniel announced his report of the at- I tendance during the year and made I special mention of several who had made .a remarkable record for punctu-C ality. He also announced the gift of books from Dr. C. E. Geiger for the i seh'ool library, and books apd~ a table from the writer.1 The school has had a splendid year,! second to none in the State, of courese I due to the watchfulness of Professor C Daniel and his able assistants. TheC .rstees made no announcement as tot who rdill be the faculty for the next I session, but it is common report there will be several nn w tembers to take the place of those who have accepted posi-. tions in other schools, and one8 who re~ tires from teaching after a most faithful service to this school for several years. Tis latdy loves the profession of teach ing, but has decided on another voca- . tion for the future.C In his report of the year's work. Superintendent J. C. Daniel gave sonlie interesting facts about the school. The t~tal enrollment for tihe term was 323: boys 153, girls 1P0: average attendan ce of boys 127, girls 110 averago scholar- I ship of boys 81 girls 85. Per cent of attendance 95.5. The average attend- t auee for the year was one point lower I than last year, hut the average scholar ship was one point higher.

Text, Josh. 1:8. "This book of the law shall not de art out of thy mouth, but thou sbalt ndicate thereon day and night., that hou mavest observe to do according to .11 that is written; for there thou shalt -ork thy way prosperous. and there hcu shalt have good success." Success is the good for which all hu aanity is striving. the prize which ager hands from all mankind are en eavoring to clasp. As the flirting mirage of the desert ias lured many to their ruin, so vast umbers have fallen by the wayside in beir pursuit of success: this however is ttributable to the fact that her laws aye been disregarded and her mandat s violated. As the Star of Bet.hlehem peeped rom behind the curtain of night to ide the footsteus of the Wise Men in h3 long ago knd as they must follow in L light if they -,yould find the ne w born abe, even so bas success laid down her ws and with imperious comirand said o each worshipper at ber altar. "Know ud follow them." . ' To success there is no new route, we an only take the old pathway along -hich are many landmarks and many creeks, but as we journey we can note he sign boards which travelers of form r days have posted. The first one. demanding our atten on, has upon it tne one word Purpose. This is as it should be. Without fix doess of purpose baw can one dare ope to succeed? How can one expect to btain that which he has not in view? As he rudder of the ship guides her safely hiough the fury of the storm, so a fix- i dness of purpose will serve us itn the ruggle for success. Bring into exercise every energy oi: our being. use every legitimate oppor unity, make each thing tnat comes to iass in your life courage toward the onsumaion of your ideal. Watch the man who is successful in he avocati.on which you hare chosen na see his fixedness of purpose. Warren hastings at the age of seven ears, lav on the banks of the rivulet ~hieh flows through the domain of his1 ouse, as he lay there, there arose in is mind a scheme, a scheme which he ever abandoned; it was to recover the state of his father and himself to be ome Hastings of Daylesford.

Many today wvho sleep in nameless aves or wander through the tortures1 fa wasted life, bare had memories as apacious r'ed faculties as line as Aic auley butt. lacking in steadiness of upose.

To fixedness of purpose and thorough reparation must 'be added that quality :nown as Perseverance. Columbus in rags and tatters, in hun-I er, amid jeers and in almost hopeless! olicitatton, worked for eighteen years efore any one could be found to take1 is part hut neyer for a moment did he hink of giving up. The secret of every successful life: of e'wton, of Washington, Wellington,1 Viberfor'ce, Grant, is fonnd wer-e in the rord Persever'ance, than in all other.. Ditieulties will arfse, obstacles un elcomed, will throw themselves across our path way. What shall we do with hem? Yield to them and in hopeless-, ess quir the fight? Even to hesitate is to fail. To persevere is to succeed. Yield? When the heart has ceased to teat. Give up?

Gibraltar has stood through all the iges past as a monument of earthly sto ility. Billows, fleeing from the storm nave lashed out their icury upon its ides; widely from out the black and owe'ing clouds have beaten against it aith all the hurricanes force; waves, mow-capped and foami-fleaked, have urst in its solid walls, and in the dlaz aling sunlight each dr'op of spray has zlistenedl until the air' seemed tilled with 'wels rare as emeralds, rubies. ama :hvsts and diamond were thrown back into the briny deep, and yet Gibraltar remains, unharmed and unhurt, still lfting her lofty head deliantly.

Moliere raised the status of the ac tor to a hireling clown who must amuse his king. Sir Henry Irving was even knighted by Queen Victoria, who recognized his magnificent services to dramatic art. But in all the years when Sir Henry was breaking his neck to run back and forth between Victoria's royal residences and the cities where he was playing. to set up his scenes and act for the old queen's amusement and the entertainment of her guests, he was never once officially received by her at court. He had many private audiences, which were much the same for him as to have a chat with any other old lady; but, although he was the possessor of a royal title, a favor ite with the royal family and the greatest actor of his age, he never was Invited or "commanded," as it Is called, to Buckingham palace. The status of vagabondia clung to his gar ments, and he was classed with crook ed nobles and other undesirables. Archie Bell in Cleveland Plain Dealer. Courage and the Flea. Courage is resistance to fear, mas tery of fear, not absence of fear. Ex cept a creature be part coward, it Is not a compliment to say It is brave; it Is merely a loose misapplication of the word. Consider the flea-Incom parably the bravest of all the crea tures of God if Ignorance of fear were courage. Whether you are asleep or awake, he will attack you, caring nothing for the fact that in bulk and 'strength you are to him as are the massed armies of the earth to a suck Ing child. He lives both day and night and all days and nights In the very lap of peril and the immediate presence of death and yet Is no more afraid than Is the man who walks the streets of a city that was threatened by an earthquake ten centuries be fore. When we speak of Clive, Nelson and Putnam as men who "didn't know what fear was" we ought always to add the flea-and put him at the bead of the procession.-Mark Twain. The Original Paul Pry. Thomas Hill, familiarly called Tom my Hill, was, says Dr. Brewer, the original Paul Pry. It was from him also that Theodore Hook drew his character of Gilbert Gurney. Planche in his "Recollections" says of Hill: "His specialty was the accurate infor mation he could impart on all the pet ty details of the domestic economy of his friends, the contents of their ward robes, their pantries, the number of pots of preserves In their store closets and of the table napkins in their linen presses, the dates of their births and marriages, the amounts of their trades 4ien's bills and whether paid weekly or quarterly. He had been on the press and was connected with the Morning Chronicle. He used to drive Matthews crazy by ferreting out his whereabouts when he left London and popping the Information in some pa per." Sacrificing the Woman. That Carlyle could contemplate with eqanimity being unpralsed, unmoney ed and neglected all his life, that he required neither the world's pudding nor Its breath and could be happy without them, was pardonable and per haps commendable. That he should expect another person to share this unmoneyed, puddingless and rather forlorn condition was scarcely con Isistent with such lofty principles. - Men may sacrifice themselves, if they please, to Imagined high duties and ambitiorns, but they have no rigilt to marry wives and sacrifice the~n.-b ange. ss Fabrics. epresent in White tiest ever shown in rwanted effect in abrics is included. mnd Foulards desirable weaves salins and Foulards >velties are shown iable's. id Children's i Underwear. tiful Line of ailored Shirt our Line over for id Embroidery, we ip.
