They have not yet finished their work on his books, but it is not thought that the shortage will exceed this amount. This informau tion comes as a severe blow to the 1 ^ many friends of Lee Brunson there and throughout the State. When the statement was given out that there was a shortage in Branson's accounts, his father, Judge W. A. Brunson, and the other relatives promptly made good the shortage, and any other that may be found, thus obviating any prosecution of his bond. < DENHARK HIGH SCHOOL. Interesting Closing Exercises Held This Week. The closing exercises of the Denmark High School, which were postponed from Friday evening on account of the inclement weather, were held in the auditorium on Monday morning at ten o'clock, and in the evening at eight-thirty, in the presence of a large number of patrons and friends. The exercises in the morning included pupils in all the grades except the graduating class, and the fpllowing was the program: ?Vrt.iT of rMrwc*? r?f Dsv?Fifth VliVl UO iiwn Uk viv^v W* ?^ and Sixth Grades. Duet?L'Alberte, Francois Behr?Ruby and Sadelle Guess. Duet?Golden Star, Streabog?Miss Whisnant and Von Etta Milhous. Waltz?Lindsay?Josephine Faust.

' I Chorus?Sing Me to Sleep?Girls of High School. The musical numbers were splendidly carried out, and each performer deserved the liberal applause that was given them. Miss Ruby Guess executed her solo very prettily, and Miss Martha Ray's rendij tion of Bohm's La Fontaine was excellent. Miss Irene Whisnant, the teacher of music, is a most efficient and pains-taking instructor, and these exercises reflected great credit upon her ability and interest. The play, Cabbage Hill School, was a marked success and was heartily enjoyed. The boys and the little Misses all did admirably. Masters Bernie and W. Hogg and Miss Elizabeth Brux deserve especial mention. Miss Sadelle Guess was an ideal school marrn. Misses Graham and Blythe, who drilled these little ones for this play, deserve an amount of praise, for it was strenuous work. At 8:30 the seating capacity of fhe auditorium was taxed to its utmost, at which hour the graduating exercises were held. They were opened with prayer by Rev. J. B. Traywick, then the following program : First the reading of the papers by the graduating class. \ The Life of a Modern Woman?Miss Pansy Smoak. Class History?Miss Ruth Ray. / Class Chronicles?Miss Alma Folk. Class Prophecy?Miss Ina Califf. Class "Will"?Mr. Harry Wroton. Valedictory?Miss Sue Barton. Duet?Allaque Des Uhlans, Bohm? Misses Whisnant and Sue Barton. Annual address?Hon. E. D. Smith. Delivery of Diplomas by Prof. E. H. Hall. While this is a small class, it is said to be one of the brightest classes that has ever left this institution, and we have only encomiums for these bright young people who acquitted themselves so splendid- i ly in both the composition and delivery of J their "papers." They were all so very j good that it would be difficult to say j which excels. Mr. Harry Wroton's "will" was excellent, and provoked much mirth. Miss Sue Barton's valedictory was beautifully written; it was chaste and full of pathos. The address of Hon. E. D. Smith was a master piece. His subject, "What we want, how to get it, and what to do with it," was most dextrously handled by this fluent, graceful speaker. It was replete with sound logic and good advice, and his portrayal of truth was very beautiful. His address was brim full of common ?il,nttA tintnnr Mr Smith k SCUfcTC, UdUlvo, auu uuuiVA. mm. w?? ? a forceful, magnetic and graceful speaker. Prof.. E. H. Hall, the superintendent, in a short address, presented the diplomas to the graduates. This closes one of the most successful terms in the history of the school. To Prof. Hall, the superintendent, Mr. J. E. Jeffries, the principal, and their efficient corps of assistants, too much praise cannot be given for the zeal and interest they have taken in their work.

C., a veteran horse trainer and driver, who has been called the "Lord Chesterfield" of the track, is now in the city with a string of horses which he is training at the race track of Jones Bros. They have a lot of very fast horses, which are owned by parties in different sections of the State, and Jones Bros, have four very fast horses at the track, which are now being handled by Mr. Verner. These horses will be put in condition here during the next three months and raced at the different tracks this fall and winter. The animals now in the stables at the track are. Sorrel gelding, green trotter, high bred and very fast; owned by W. M. Thompson, Greers, S. C. Sorrel mare, green pacer, very promising; J. T. Willard, Spartanburg, S. C. /Bay gelding, pacer; J. S. Haynes, Roebuck, C. C. Bay gelding, green trotter; D. H. Counts, Laurens, S. C. Ben Hur, black gelding, record 2.29%; L. W. Verner, Seneca, S. C. The following horses are owned by Jones Bros; * . Bad News, bay gelding, record 2.08%. Jeff McGregor, sorrel horse, record 2.16%. Queen B., brown mare, record 2.11% Lillian C., green trotter. Mr. Verner is an experienced trainer of many years in the business of handling racers, and those having horses which are promising should give them a try out in his hands. The weather is good, the track is in fine condition, and he is well equipped. As a special favor Jones Bros, ask that automobiles and buggies will keep off the track, as it is now closed to the public, and will be closed for the next three months, when the training of horses is going on. After that time the track will again be open to their friends. 'i VOTES OUT WHISKEY. North Carolina Goes Dry by Forty Thousand Plurality. North Carolina was carried for State prohibition last Wednesday by a big majority. The prohibition ticket carried 78 out of the 98 counties by majorities approximating 4S,000. The anti-prohibition ticket has 20 counties by majorities approximating 5,600. This calculation is based on some estimates and the prohibition leaders say it is possible for the prohibition majority to reach 50,000. A close estimate of the vote would give a prohibition majority of about 45,000. The election passed off very quietly, no disturbances of any moment being reported. The total vote cast in the State was about 175,000. . Spectacular Fire at Gas Plant. Greenville, May 29.?The Greenville gas plant came very near being destroyed by fire this afternoon. About four o'clock the oil scum on the water in the brick enclosure around the gas tank was discovered to be on fire and it was feared that the fire would get into the tank thus precipitating an explosion which would have done great damage. The firemen fought the flames at the risk of their lives and finally succeeded in extinguishing them before they entered the tank. The origin of the r?i+nlxr IrriATTrn hiif if is thought that a spark from a passing locomotive ignited the scum. During the fire the tank sprang a leak, and some of the gas escaped, making the fire very spectacular. It is considered miraculous that the flames did not get into the tank. If the gas tank had exploded it would have caused much loss of life and of property. VETERAN SPECIAL. Special Train Columbia, S. C. to Birmingham, Ala,, via Southern Kaiiway.
