On Sunday morning the commence ment sermon to the graduating class was preached in. 4 the High School Au ditorium by Dr. Harms, President of Newberry College. All the churches in town were dosed Sunday morning fpr the occasion, as the pastors of the various congregations were asked to take part in the services. Mr. Peeler, pastor of the Methodist Chrch, to the regret, of his many friends was not able to be out. The auditorium with its large seat ing capacity was filled with patrons and visitors. One side of the audience was reserved for. the school children. At eleven o’clock the children marched in singing the hymn, “Ancient Of Days.” This was one of the most in teresting and beautiful features of the morning. Mr. Grosclose presided over the meeting. Dr. Harms preach ed a ver yforceful sermon, a sermon which was delivered in such beautiful and fluent yet simple English that any child could understand and appreciate it. Dr. Harms preached on “Christian Chivalry.” His sermon was just as beautiful as the thought expressed in these two words.

Only 18 vet erans responded to the Invitation, but the dinner was a success in every way. G. H. Bates, of Barnwell, was the speaker on this occasion. His address was replete with interesting war time data and he held the attention of all. Capt. B. A. Williams of Brunson, also made a short talk that was enjoyed. Each veteran was invited to write up his war experience for the chapter history. Ths Fairfax chapter has gone on record by making the hus bands, brothers and fathers of the United Daughters honorary members of their chapter.

Under its pro visions the clerk of court is to ap point by August 1 three or more at torneys, who are to be examiners of titles; the county commissioners must provide a register of mesne convey ance for the registration of titles. The provisions of the act are assumed vol untarily. The advantage of the Torrens sys tem is that after land is once regis tered under this plan, there will be no further question of the title and it will not be necessary to have the title examined for ,any subsequent trans fers of the land. The object of the system is to give a clear title to land. The Torrens act fixes the fees that are to be allowed to the title exami ners, officers and surveyors. The ex aminer is to receive a minimum fee of $5 for examination of each title of property assessed upon the tax, books at $1,000 or less, and for each addi tional $1,000 of'assessed value he is to receive 50 cents. The surveyor employed under the provisions of the act is to be allowed not more than 40 cents per hour for the time actually employed. In order to guarantee the title, and at the same time to protect against loss persons who by the aystem lose an interest in land not .through their own negligence, the State provides ifn 1 assurance fund, out of- which claims will he paid. This fund is formed by a fee of one-tenth of one per cent, of Ihe assessed value of the registered land. This amount is turned over to the State treasurer — - with heavy effectives have thrown successive attacks against the French positions north of Thiaumont, but all the assaults were repulsed with serious osses.

Driving Austrians Back. South and southeast of Trent the Italians are continuing to drive back the Austrians, according to Rome. Gains have been made by the Italians in the Arsa Valley and the Pasubio sector, along the Posina-A^tico line and southwest of Asiago. Farther north, in the Sugana Valley, fresh progress toward the Maso Torrent is recorded for King Victor Emman uel's men, who repelled two counter attacks near Scurelle. In Lagarina the address to the graduating class He took for his subject, the class mot to: “Not At The Top, But Climbing.” With this subject. Dr.. Poteat made an excellent address which should have a lasting impression on the young friends of the members of the graduat ing class. He made not only the graduating class, but everyone pres ent in the large audience feel the re sponsibility of ever keeping in mind that we are not at the top, that we have not done enough, we should try to be something more than we are already. Dr. Poteat said in apropo to the subject presented by the class motto, in the fact that everyone should have three eyes, eyes to see thoughts and ideas, eyes to see the higher things of life, and eyes to see God. f- Mr. H.
