COPELA On last Friday evening the con mencement exercises of the Summer ton Graded school, were begun. The school auditorium was crowded to the limit and it was indeed an apprecia tive audience. The program for the evening was under the auspices of the Summerton Patrol of the Boy Scouts, E of America under the eflicient direc tion of the Scoutmaster, the Rev. W. M. Walton, pastor of the local Episco pal church. The exercises consisted I of various' drills, yells. Bugle flour ishes,.etc. Following the drilling ex ercises honors were bestowed upon those members of the scouts who had made the best showing in the follow ing of the Scout rules and regulations. E During this part of the program Miss Lila Briggs rendered a very pleasant musical selection being accompanied I with several male voices, music being furnished by Miss Cora Cantey, the efficient head of the music department of the school. Following the Scout drills the program was completed with a play in which Prof. Moss, Messrs. James Nelson, Emory Rodgers, as sisted by the Scouts, Ed Briggs and . Geo. Cain were the Dramatis Per sonae. This was carried out in at y splendid manner, affording much hu-; mor to the assembled audience. Be tween the acts of the program a musi cal interlude was given which con sisted of three selections. The first! of which was a beautiful little selec tion rendered, much to the delight of the audience, by Ricahrd Briggs and Esther Gordon. Following this, Miss Lake of the corps of teachers of the . school-department rendered a beauti 1 ful piece of vocal music, entitled "America Come" in her usual inspir ing manner, being accompanied by Miss Cantey on the piano. The per formance of the "Merry Little . Witches" added much to the program. The program for the evening was brought to a close by the members of the Scouts in black face comedy under the direction of Scoutmaster Walton. On Sunday mornin:: at 11:'0, the . Rev. J. P. Marion, Pastor of the Presbyterian Church, Sumter, deliv ered the baccalaureate sermon in the I school auditorium. Mr. Marion is a preacher of splendid composition, and a good delivery. Despite the unfav orable weather conditions, the audi torium was taxed to its 'full capacity as all churches in town gave up their 1 morning exercises and attended the school services. Mr. Marion made a good impression on the people of Sum merton and it is to be hoped that he will see fit to give us an opportunity . of hearing him again ' - the near 1 future. 1 Monday morning, Mr. John E. Swearingen, State Superintendent of Educhtion delivered the literary ad dress in the school auditorium before " a large number of patrons and friends of the school. Mr. Swearingen need ed no introduction to a Summerton audience as he is a speaker of re nown. Mr. Swearingen spoke upon 1 the line of school wof-k and his talk was most inspiring throughout. Monday evening at 8:30 P. M. the 3 closing or graduating exercises were held. The exercises were opend with prayer by the Rev. Myron W. Gordon, 3 pastor of the local Baptist Church. This was followed by the usual order of graduating exercises, consisting of thealttin, class history, prophecy, critic, will, poem, and the valedictory -by the first honor member. All did their resipective parts we:l and showved the splendidl work done by them dur ing their course of study in the high school. Mr. Hi. A. Rnchbourg Chair man of the board of trustees of the school in his usual unassuming man ncr presented1 diplomas to those finish ing their career in the annals of the local school. Prof Moss, at the conclu sion of th~e exercises made a ,few re marks an~d stressed the fact that the school was in need of a larger teach ing force, both in the High school and the elementary department anid at the conclusion of his remarks invited Mr. Swearingen to explain how it wouild he possible to get the desiredl number of teachers. Mr. Swear:nigen advo eate-l the plan that the State would furnish one-half of the frnd provided the dlistrict wold~ raise the school levy for the balance. The exercises wvere hrought to a close with a fare well song by the m;'mbers of the gradiuatinig class assisted i5y members ->f the faculty and Mr-. H1. A. Rich bourg. Thus one of the best sessions of the local school was brought to a close. Those graduratinig this year wer the following: Messr s.

Farewell Song--radeuating Class. ~The Manning-Summerton highway, since constructed to its present degree of smoothness by Supervisor Kelly has beeni the source of delight for many of Sumnierton's young "spoon Lers." Enhanced by the beautiful1 moonlight nights, and the perfect puffing of a Big Six motor, surround Ld by uptodate upholestei-y two of Summerton's young couples decided hto take advantage of these luxories, which escaped their noersonlal ta, nd SD, Correspon journey over to the movies not so I very many weeks ago. Away they sped o'er hill and dale, whispering softly the strains of love ( ?) into each other's ears when huddenly the bright lights of the Clarendon me tropohis was seen in the distance. One of the fair couples had gone so far into conversation as to .i cularly ask his dark haired partner to share his troubles in this earthly life with him. She replied in the same manner with an affirmative answer being over heard by the two passengers perched in the rear seat of the country road L luxury. This put a bug in thi. ear of the male partner in the rear S:.t and. he immediately suggested that they make it a double affair. Having met with an affirmative a'nswer they de-i sided to take a look at the movies for the last time before they 1-aunrhed their life boats on the sea of wedded life. Arriving at the movie house they alighted from the Ford Bir Six and after paying for admission seated themselves in the theatre feeling that they were the only center of attr.ic tion and that the attractiven-ss of the screen was far inferior to that between themselves. They whiled a away the time until the last reo was f fmnished when they made a ranid exit and immtediately inquired from a stander by the direction in which the Tudge of Probate lived. Having gotten the desired inarmatian and after havingc refused an offer from the gentlemen to accompany them as a guide to the mansion of the .Judge, they cranked the sel[-starting Ford and around they went to see vv,-at the Probate Judge would have to say a'out being r->used from his dreams at such an extr tm? time of the even ing. Up they drove, so oed the car, and as the J- lee V - not aroused from his slumb r by t'. ,entle purr ing o( the Six, they next began to wonder which of the Groom to be's were going to break the ice. This / brought on an argument and as a re sult of this controversy, in which the a b"ide to be's became engaged, they . decided that they would at least pu. off the nuptials at a later date. They left not having disturbed the Judge headed towards Summerton discuss m- what a delightful time they had had. Mr. John Baskins ol' Bishopville is here for the commencement. Mrs. D. O. Rhame, Miss Laura Col clough and Rev. W. M. Walton at tended a meeting of the Episcopal Church Woman's Auxiliary at Sumter last week. We are glad to be able to state that the work on the tobacco warehousa is going on very rapidly. The frame work is being raised and will be push ed to completion very quickly. There have been several real estate changes in the town the past week. The Bank of Summerton has purchas ed the buildingr' n w occupied by Reuben Gordin and will make this its h -It rters in, the near future. Mr. ( )rdin has purchased the store now o -upied by Mr. E.

Mr. Aaron I brans of Manning has purchased tre store now occuplei by the Peo P es Wholesale Grocery Company and itends to open up business about the first of the next year. There ar.' )t>me other changes 'n soak.'' how i"ver we are not in position to ?t-ita au2thoritatively who and where. We aWso understand that there are other r ew business in contemplation, deC V .ndmig upon the ouitcome of the to baicco crop~ and the p)rices which will prevail the comintr fall. Summerton can well afford the changes as this will give her a larger business sec tion and with the surroundirng comn mu'.nitv being a promperous one she wd'il be wveI sr'p->ortert.
