Mr. Willis Resigns.
Mr. W\ E. 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.

CARLISLE FITTING SCHOOL.
" 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'?

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.'"

News From Kearse.
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.

Good material, skilled labor, time, brains,
and money to build a good Buggy. A white 1
pine board with a few coats of paint and
varnish applied looks as well as second
growth hickory, but outside appearances 1
does not make quality, either in men or buggies.
We know that a buggy is better when
plenty of time is given to build it. Our orders
were placed last October for May 1st,
shipment. When you look at these jobs
they may look just like other buggies, but
they are better. Plenty of time has been
given for everything. This is of more importance
than you can imagine. They will
be as dry as a bone and ready for business
when the flowers bloom. Yes, the styles are
light, selected by our experienced buyer.
