The boarding halls at the fitting school
are almost deserted. All the pupils left
on Moudav, some in the morning and
some on the afternoon trains.
Bamberg has as many students attending
the various colleges as any town its
size in the State; possibly it may have
more. This is a good showing for our
people.
The new subscribers continue to come
. in, and most of them pay cash. This
shows that the people of Bamberg county
have money to spend for what they
want and need.
W. M. Karesh and family, who have
lived here for the past seven years, left

The recent rains and cool weather have
damaged crops considerably. Some good
farmers say their crops are oil at least
one-third. " Many plantations have lots
of grass, and the outlook just now is not
at all encouraging.
The regular examination of teachers
was held in the court house last Friday,

by their action. They art- right, too.

day at the Isle of Palms, the afternoon

at 7 o'clock, instead of 5:20. This

thus giving practically an entire day at
the island. The fare for round trip on
Sundays is $1.50.

If the summer schools for teachers ar
ever to amount to anything, the lege

Picnic at St. John's.
Last Saturday we had the pleasure o
attending the annual Sunday-school pic
nic at St. John's church, in the lower par
of the county. It was an event to wliici
we had looked forward with pleasure, fo
to spend even a day among the honesl
generous, and hospitable people of tha
section of the county gives one a 'bette
opinion of human nature and makes u
believe that there is such a thing existing
as the brotherhood of man.

The gathering was a successful one it

j and not an unpleasant incident occurrec

candidates were there, but.they didn'
discuss politics. At 13 o'clock exercise
were held in the church. The choir ren
dered some delightful "music, the Sunday
school superintendent, Mr. H. W. Carter
read a portion of scripture, and Rev. J
H. Wilson offered prayer. Then tin
pastor. Rev. E. W. Peeples, in a pleasim
manner welcomed the guests. Mr.?
Brabham then made an address. He wa

Soon the good ladies had the table

Annual Commencement Exercises of
J.* The Carlisle Fitting School?A
o Successful Year's Work.
The city was full of visitors last week.
? The attraction was the annual closing ex;e
ercises of tlie Carlisle Fitting School, an
institution that has a warm place in the
e affections of not only the people of the
ie town of Bamberg, but of this and several
r adjoining counties.
e The exercises commenced last Thursday
evening with the
e AXNl'AL CELEBRATION
; <?fVim Uil.r.-k iin.I Shi'ridan literarv so
VI HIV V?uv. .?. ? ? .
cieties,oue of which is managed by the
'r young ladies, the other by the young gentlemen
of the school. Long before half[.
past eight, the hour at which the exercises
e were to begin, the spacious school chapel
^ was rilled to overflowing, and standing
d room was at a premium,
i- At this hour the two societies marched
in from their halls, to the music of a
march played by Miss Florrie Black.
^ Mr.F . E. Dibble, rirst assistant, acted as
y presiding officer, and announced the num t
l>ers on the program.
First was a chorous bv members of both
i r
r societies, after which came an instru11
mental duct entitled "Village Chimes
r Polka," by the Misses Roper.
' Little Miss Gedelle Brabham then cape
tivated the audience with her humorous
recitation, the "Bald Headed Man."
Miss Margaret Roper's essay on "Lost
Ideals" won for her considerable ap11
plause, and a pleasing innovation was a
e vocal duet, something about "My Little
Georgia Rose," (we did not get tho exact
r title) by Misses Verbena Brabham and
At'iriTfirct
11 Thus far the young ladies hail all the
J *
11 lienors, but the young men were to have
their innings next, for next was a debate
with the query: "Resolved, That the
fame of the Poet is greater than that of
the General." Mr. R. O. Lawton was to
have been the first speaker, on the aftirI
mative, but was sick and unable to be
present. Mr. J. D. Eaddy spoke first for
the negative, and his well trained voice
made his words distinct in every part of
the hall. Mr. D. L. Shieder came next
r
for the atfirniativo, and made a good
speech. Mr. W. B. Bolin closed the de5
bate, arguing for the negative.
Two instrumental pieces, a duet,
"Love's Chidings," lw Misses Riley and
^ Black, and solo, "Spinning Lay," preceded
the reading of an essay, "The Star in the
Dew Drop," by Miss Margaret Kenuerly,
the choice language of which pleased the
' audience.
Miss Margaret Kee charmingly deliver''
ed a pathetic recitation entitled "Nell,"^
^ and her grace of manner and gesture was
appreciated by all.
s Then came the pleasing finale to the
evening's entertainment, a Japanese fan
drill, by sixteen young ladies, who were
trained for this exhibition by Mrs. W. E.
Willis. The drill was thoroughly en^
joyed by the large audience?the young
ladies in their quaint and attractive Japa5
nese costumes making a bewitching sight
--*1 o*wl nrro^nfllllr went

through the intricate evolutions of the
B - 1
drill. It has been said that a fan in the
hands of a coquette is a dangerous thing,
^ and no doubt the way these young ladies
handled their fans proved the truth of
this.
Head Master Willis then announced
s i
that the exereises of the evening were
s
closed, but- that a reception would last
until 12 o'clock, and announced Mrs.
Thos. Black, Mrs. J. D. Copeland, Mrs.
1 G. Frank Bamberg, Mrs. W. E. Willis and
Miss L. Cleckley as chaperons, who saw
that the young people had a good time.
Many people visited the society halls of
the societies, which are now handsomely
fitted up.
Mr. E. M. Stokes was chief marshal, and
his assistants were Messrs. R. W. Mason,
H. B. M. Eaddy, C. S. Yongue and D. G. '
Copeland.
ANNUAL LITERARY ADDRESS.
f Friday night the annual literary ad..
dress was delivered by Prof. J. G. Clink1
scales, of Wofford College. The speaker
s was introduced by Rev. T. C. O'Dell in a
neat little speech, and for more than one
hour he entertained and delighted his
audience. Mr. Clinkscalesmade a strong,
practical, common sense speech, impressg
ing upon the students that this was"com^
mencement" only?that the real work of
getting an education was just started and
actual work in life begun. He was glad
, the Carlisle Fitting School did not give
diplomas, and spoke of some schools who
- create false ideas of education in pupils
as curses to the cause of education. The

the old blue-back speller and the methods
y of teaching when he was a boy. He hoped
1 that every student would read at least
r *
v one good book during vacation. Altogether
it was a thoughtful, practical address,
bristling with good points, and the
many funny anecdotes used as illustrations
served to keep the large throng in
thorough good humor.

ti duty was assigned Mr. D. L. Shieder, who
e was to deliver a recitation, "The Gladi1
'
?_ ator." On this account the recitation was
omitted. We regret not being able to
give a more extended account of the
above, but, through no fault of our own,
we were not present.
COMMKXC1:MKNT SKKMOX.
The annual sermon to the students of
the Carlisle Fitting School was delivered
in the Methodist church on Sunday morning
at 11 o'clock by Rev. W. W. Daniel,
D. D., president of Columbia College.
The church was crowded until there was
not an available seat unoccupied, and
some were forced to stand through the
entire service. Dr. Daniel took for his
text the lJlth verse of the ^titli chapter of
Acts, and, using Paul as an example,
showed, in the most beautiful and forceful
language, that prompt obedience to
the attractions of the cross of Christ is
the way and the only way to a successful
life. The students were exhorted to make
Christ their ideal, and were assured that
every life, however seemingly beautiful
-i f-tilio*i* whieli does not I
conform to the doctrines of Christ.
At night he took for his text the Oth
verse of the 110th Psalm. From this text
he urged the young people to he diligent
students of the liihle, which is the onh
rule and the sufficient rule for our faith
and practice. It may he truthfully said
that the preaching was of a high order
and truly inspiring, and if those whose
good fortune it was to hear it will onh
take heed to it their lives will he useful
and happy.
Dr. Daniel made a most favorable impression
upon his hearers, both for himself
as a preacher and for the college of
which he is president.
The next session of the Fitting School
will commence Tuesday, September Oath,
and the attendance will no doubt be
larger than ever before.

The Glorious Fourth.
? Mr. J. T. O'Neal is arranging for a big
barbecue at West End Mineral Springs
on Wednesday, July 4th. He expects to
have several speakers present, and it is
also possible that this will be made one
of the county campaign days. M r. O'Neal
will appear before the executive committee
next Saturday, and if this body grants
his request it is natural to suppose that
all of the candidates will be present.
This will be the regular formal opening
of the springs, and a large crowd from all
sections of the county will no doubt be
present.
Love Finds a Way.
Wednesday afternoon of last week Mr.
W. A. Storne, of Denmark, and Miss
Edna Faust, daughter of Dr. 0. D. Faust,
were married at Blackville. The marriage
was unexpected, and a surprise to everybody.
The young lady was on a visit to
relatives in Denmark, and went to ride
with Mr. Stoine, and they continued the
drive up to Blackville, where the marriage
ceremony was performed.
Summer Schools.
State Superintendent John J. McMahan
has sent us a circular containing full information
as to the summer school for
t?* lw? tu.l(l <it. Winthron Colleire.
uvit? kw ?- , ?. T
Hock Hill, July 18th to August 14th, 1!)(H).
The railroads give reduced rates, the rate
of board is very low, and an excellent
course of study is offered, with the most
capable instructors.
In a circular regarding the county summer
schools for teachers the superintendent
says none should be admitted but
teachers or prospective teachers, and no
admission should take place after the
third day, unless for some extraordinary
reason. There will be two courses of
study: Arithmetic, gography and English
(grammar, literature and theme
writing); algebra, history and English
(more advanced work on the same lines).
The school for Bamberg county will commence
July Kith and continue until August
lltli, with Messrs. J. ArthTir Wiggins
and S. W. Heaves in charge. There
should be a full attendance.
The following is clipped from the Carolina.

heartily endorse every word of it: -.T. J.
McMahan is a candidate for re-election as
State Superintendent of Education. The
fact that he has held it one term is no
reason why he should have it a second
time. But because he has made a most
efficient officer is a good reason for his
re-election. He has been faithful, ener-a
getic, abounding in good suggestions, intensely
interested in the schools, and
always ready to make any improvements
possible. Last summer he gate the teachers
the best summer school they have ever
had. This year it will be better. The
readers of the Spartan will be doing the
State a good service by casting their votes [
for John J. MeMahan."
