A. Schroek. Winthrop Closing. YorkvJlle inquirer. The cloning exercises at Win throp college. took place this week, and an usual the occasion has been one of great interest to the people of Itock Hill, and t houHan ds of folks throughout the state. Diplomas were delivered to 118 members of the graduating class on last Tuesday night by Gov. Bleasc, who by virtue of his office is chair -nvan of the board of trustees. In connection with the delivery of the diplomas the governor made a short lf\it appropriate address. He took occasion to assert that he had all. along been a friend and supporter of Wiuthrop college, and was very proud indeed of the institution ? whirh he thinks is one of th'Y| sttate's greatest possessions. lie called attention to the. fact that he I had not used his veto against any ! of the appropriations for Wiuthrop1 and he undertook to make very clea j the impression that he stands for the mo.-,tt liberal support of Win-' t h rop. The ? ii( nmstances of the >;over t.or's delivery of the diplomas was <M special interest because of an un pleasant incident tl.iat occurred last year. Since the establishment *of Winthrop ;is a state institution the governor has been officiating in this matter, regarding it as a high privilege. For some reason Gover nor Rlcase did not attend the com m.-'eeeinei.t last year and dispatches v. ere se'i 1 to northern papers ex plaining i lie matter with the cleclar a.ion tli;it members of the gradua ting i ? I ? i s had declared that the;' ? "wonhl no? have ;i diploma if it , had to come from such a hyena." j The Mor\ u *s a f : erwa rd denounced b\ I 'resident Johnson as untrue; bu n.' 1 11 ra ! I \ from first to last there \v;is a uoo?t (leal of- feeling in con- > licet ioi. wit li t he ma : I er. Tie- Kni|titiei did not have a rep-! 1 11 1 ,1 ; i\ present last Tuesday uiclit. ( > 1 ; 1 has been advised by peo- . pie who \\<re there that t lies could see ii(>' hint.' out ot the ordinal \ in th.- present at ion of diplomas They sa> that the governor acted ver> much as a:iv other governor wotiM and that the attitude of the young; ladies was about the same as on former occasions. This from the liock Mil! correspondence of the ? 'ha riot te .-Chronicle, however, seems to indicate that all people do not see the same tilings exactly alike "'The presence of Gov. (ole I..' Rlcase at the graduating exercises of the class of lull! of Winthrop college and especially the fact that he took upon himself the task of ( delivering the diplomas and certifi cates :o the young ladies took awav the glory of the occasion for man \ members of the senior class, according to some of the graduates.; This fact was evident to the hun dreds who were present, for hardly half a do7.en of the nearly 150 young women deigned to even how to his excellency as he handed over the coveted scroll, while the large majority walked stolidly by without deigning to glance even In his di rection or murmur a "thank-you." The governor came up especially for the occasion, not remaining over for the meeting of the trustees the next day. The action of the young ladles was generally commented up on and many declared that they did not blame the graduates for their attitude, some going so far as to say that they would have refused to accept the scroll from the hands of the governor."

Tho hit that "Treasure Island" made la one of the most pleasant episodes In literary history. The story that Gladstone got a glimpse of the book at Ix>rd Rosebery's house, and spent the next day hunting over London for a second-hand copy, is good enough to be true. Stevenson's own comment on his success Is levelheaded, If point ed: "This gives one strange thoughts of how very bad the common run of books that the wiseacres think too bad to print are the very ones that brinr me praise and pudding." Heredity. Some very pretty things are beta# said, for no special reason whatever, about genealogy and heredity. Natal* any this la associated with the nanil and life of what Is called the "nobflK ty." Yet no commentator has quoted the couplet of Pope, which reads ra*r? ly that "Hla ancient but Ignoble blood baa crept through scoundrels - ?Mff since the flood."
