Willis, who has been connected with the Carlisle Fitting School for the past eight years, five of which he has held the position of Head Master, has resigned. His resignation was forwarded to the board of control some time ago, and at a meeting of the board held last week it was regretfully accepted. Mr. Willis resigns for the purpose of taking a special course at Vanderbilt,University. On accepting the resignation, the board unanimously adopted the following: Whereas, Prof. W. E. Willis, the Head Master of the Carlisle Fitting School for the past five years, has tendered his resignation with the intention of taking a university post-gradulite course, and whereas, he has rendered valuable and efficient service to the school and has been ever faithful, vigilant, and active in its interest, both as a teacher and as Head Master; Resolved, 1st. That the board of control of the Carlisle Fitting School tenders Prof. Willis the sincere gratitute^of each member of the board, and best wishes for him, trusting that he may be guided in all his ways and blessed in all his relations. Resolved, 2d. That a copy of this preamble and this resolution be transmitted to Prof. Willis by the secretary of this board. Mr. Willis lias certainly done excellent work for the school, and leaves it at the most successful time in its history His many friends here will regret his departure, and we in common with others ^ are sorry to have him leave us. 5 The board of control has not yet filled t the vacancy. At the meeting last week r it was decided to elect an additional teacher as third assistant, and Miss Pet Stephens was elected to this place. It is i not yet known whether she will accept. - This addition to the faculty was made j necessary by the continued increase of t the school. Miss Florrie Black was electis ed music teacher. No other teacher was elected at this meeting. The matter oj j; building an additional boarding hall was discussed by the board, and steps will nc ^ doubt be taken to erect the same. This r year the halls were overcrowded, somt s students being compelled to board in * private families. s Mr. Hook's Baby Dead. " The infant child of Mr. and Mrs. M.

" The Annual Commencement Exercises of this Institution. t The commencement exercises of the L Carlisle Fitting School took place last Friday and Saturday evenings, and, as . usual, was attended by a large crowd. . The exercises this year were more inter. esting than formerly, as this has been the most prosperous year in . the history of the school. The attendance has been larger than ever, and the work done during the school year has been of the most ? satisfactory character. In fact, the boardi ing halls have beeu uncomfortably crowdded, and another hall for the boys is ; badly needed. The work of the school j will be seriously handicapped without * * 11 ' * +knf o nrvtbor i another nan, aiiu it i? uupcu tuatauuwu j will be built during the summer and be ready for occupancy when the fall session ] commences. Last Friday evening was the occasion j of the i ANNUAL ADDRESS by Rev. J. Walter Daniel, D. D., pastor of Trinity Church, Charleston. The exercises were opened with prayer by Rev. i H. B. Browne, presiding elder, of Orange- \ burg district, and the first on the pro- g gram for the evening was a duet, "The Firemen's Galop," Waddiugton, by Misses ? Byrd and Black. Next was a sextette, j. "Graduation March," Streabog," by Misses Byrd, Kirsch, Gedelle Brabham, Cope, 1; Carrawav, Hay. Then came a welcome ? song by a large chorus of boys and girls, n after which the speaker of the evening s was introduced by Rev. Mr. Browne. Mr. Daniel's subject was "Moonshine," and for more than an hour he delighted ' and amused the audience by his eloquence and wit. It was essentially an appropriate address for an occasion of this kind, ? and Mr. Daniel's reputation as an orator S was fully sustained. Next was a solo, "Caprice," Raff, by Miss Black, and a song, "My Old Kentuc- F ky Home," closed the evening's exercises. ^ Then followed the reception, and the chaperons were Mrs. Thos. Black, Mrs. J. j| D. Copeland, Mrs G. Frank Bamberg, and ^ Mrs. J. M.Jennings. ^ The marshals were W. E. Mcintosh, B I nhipf-T, o Hiers. W. H. Ritter, Willie (J M. Brabham, and H. D. Munnerlyu, Jr. -r CLOSING EXERCISES. B Saturday evening the ninth closing ex- T cises took place, and the crowd on this ^ occasion was much larger than on the I I evening before. The large hall was I packed to the doors, and many were un- ?] able to get into the building at all. The entertainment commenced with a I solo, "Hortensia," Lange.by Miss Stewart, * followed by a recitation, "Jimmie Brown's g Sister's Wedding," by $Iiss Bessie Black, V a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Black. Mr. L. 0. Hiers then recited "The Raven," g and then came a quartette, "Golden Star 0 Waltz," Lysberg, by Misses Pearl Black, A Eaves, Cope, and Alma Black. Next was ^ a debate: "Resolved, That success in life W is dependent more on ability than on op- B portunity." The affirmative was repre- ^ sented by Messrs. O. A. Jeff coat and W. T E. Mcintosh, while Messrs. G. T. Rhoad A 1 D and D. T. Smoak spoke for the negative. ^ These young gentlemen handled their subject well, speaking easily and grace- g fully. A trio, "Husarenitt," Spindler, by jt Misses Folk, Tarrant, and Black, was the C next number, then a duet, "Valse Brillante," Kowalski, by Misses Folk and Tar- A rant. A song by the chorus preceded a Si recriation, "Roger and I," by Mr. Doty * Rhoad, and Miss Bessie Daniel came next ? with a recitation, "Absolution." A sextette, "Morceaux Brilliant," by Misses Stewart, Ritter, Munnerlyn, Kennelly, A Sadie Brabham, and Rizer came next. Miss Mary Roper read an essay, "Yonder T Lies Rome," and then Miss Willie Stew- ^ ?* ??!??/! i?l oorto " \ rma rtptt.p "La t an x cc 11cu Jjaoi/Cit *-v vjmm* .. |^ Baldine," Lysberg, by Misses Folk, Tar- p rant, Stewart, and Kennelly was next, ^ and Miss Gedelle Brabbam's humorous H recitation, "A Yankee in Love," followed. "1 Mr. Phillip W. Hiers tl*en read an essay, "Class of '01," and the humorous referen! ces to members of the class were greatly enjoyed. Sixteen young ladies then participated in a "Dairy Maid Drill," and a R song by the chorus closed the evening's o exercises. The entire program was well ^ rendered and each number was well re- gj" ceived by the audience. s? N ANNUAL SERMON. ^ Sunday's exercises brought the com- a] [ mencement of 1901 to a close. Youths ai ! and maidens all felt that this day belong- B ! ed to them, was peculiarly their Sabbath. Others, older ones, might share privileges with them, but it was to bring a message to them, the young, that the preacher had w come. The Methodist church was well no filled when eleven o'clock came. The B Rev. G. P. Watson delivered an inspir- d iug sermon, full of earnestness. "Go T forward" (Ex. 45: 16) was his text; his ii theme, "Expansion." Not material ex- n pansion, but expansion of the body, mind, soul. The person, old or young, o who ceases to stud}', begins to decay; he who ceases to get better, must become b worse. There is no ground of inaction, inactivity. To go forward, never to be a satisfied with preseut knowledge, present k achievement, should be the aim of youth t aud of manhood. In the evening, preacher and young v people again met. This time he spoke p on, "The one or the other; which shall it g be?" Daniel, the young man of long a ago, who chose to be loyal to his God, in t the face of all the allurements of appetite and power, was held up as an example to d the young ones of this day. It was an-4l'? tolL- nvir? ?'o arpenrA hiaHp C UtUCl iiU^piui f? v v ww? vj **?mx?v] as the sermon of the morning did a deep <impression for good. The music of both morning and evening, under the skillful management of Mrs. J. D. Quattlebaum, was unusuallygood, and added not a little to the impres- t siveness of both occasions. i Mrs. Brabham Dead. j ! Mrs. Ida Brabham, wife of Mr. Joe J. ] ' Brabham, died at their home in the Bu. ford's Bridge section last Monday. The . burial took place Tuesday afternoon at 1 ' the burying ground at Buford's Bridge. i : Mrs. Brabham had been an invalid for ; years, and her death was not unexpected. , ( She leaves a husband and several chil- ; dreu, some of*them small. She was a good ' ' christian woman, and bore her sufferings i ' with patience. The bereaved husband i has the sympathy of all in his sore bereavement. The Farmington (Me.) Chronicle says: < "One of the leadiug religious journals of . New England describes with some detail i a wedding, and after U lling of decoration, ) gowns, etc., say: 'These were the visible 1 * settings of the rare old picture, when true . hearts join for life's combat.' Doubtless - the many friends of this young pair are , glad to know they have determined to r 'fight it out on this line' if it takes a lifee time. Meanwhile, we are reminded of i. the epitaph ou the tombstone erected over y an aged couple who had lived long years - together: 'Their warfare is accomplished.'" Buford's Bridge Breezes.

Kearse, June o.?The oat harvest is nearly finished, but the weather has simply been terrible for saving grain. It is not news to say that "general green" is raging. In all the low lands, and there are hundreds of acres of low lands here, it really looks now like the grass is master of the situation, simply because such lands have for three weeks been so wet till cultivation was impossible. It is also not news to say that all the growing crops are poorer now than ever known before at this season. The farmers all are as "blue" as the crops are poor. Your scribe went to the picnic at Elirliardt last week. Owing to the busy season there was a very small crowd. On account of the slippery condition of the roads your correspondent is able to re port only live hard falls from his wheel, ami he didn't go to the dispensary either, but he thinks that somebody "treated" his wheel. The Wide Awake Club has adjourned until the first Thursday in July. Wei guess by that time the weather will be hot enough to keep it wider awake. Our Sunday-school picnic comes off at St. John's on the third Saturday in June. We are looking forward to it with much pleasure. Everybody is invited. The plum season is here, and you can look out for very small boys with very big cases of colic. Mr. Willie Best declares the weather is even too wet to go fishing?powerful wet weather. C. B.
