It was one of the most delightful and largely attended commencements the school has efver had. Everything seemed to contribute to the pleasure and suctiess-of the-occasion?the weather man did his part admirably, the speakers were among the best the school has ever had, and everybody seemed in good spirits. Saturday Evening.' Saturday evenipg the first gymna sium exhibition was given in tne new C. F. Rizer gymnasium. Quite a crowd of the friends of the school were present to see the young men in their acrobatic work,. Under the direction of Instructor Paul Whitaker the boys had been practicing for this occasion for several weeks, and the friends of the school were delighted and surprised to see how splendidly they handled themselves. It is expected that the gymnasium exhibition will be an annual event in the future. The clowns, by their remarks and antics, kept the crowd ih good humor. Sunday Services. The Sunday services were held, as usual, in Trinity Methodist church. Rev. Franklin N. Parker, Emory University, Atlanta, Ga., preached at both morning and evening services. This was Dr. Parker's first appearance in this section of the State, but he proved himself one of the great preachers of the church. His text on Sunday morning was Philippians 3: 10. "That I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings." It was an exhortation to seek knowledge but to -seek the right kind?the knowledge found in Christ. He showed how it was possible for a seeker after knowledge to "lose theii way in the way." it was a most timely message, putting the emphasis just where it needs to be put in these days. His message Sunday evening was a special message to the Young Peoplec Christian association. "And Jesus said unto him, no man having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God"?Luke 9^62. It was an appeal to the young people to make a definite decision for the Christian life and stick to it. Both the messages were great in their simple Gospel truth. The music was delightfully rendered in the morning by the regular choir and in the evening by the Sunday-school choir of young ladies. Monday Evening. Monday evening the Carlisle auditorium was full to its capacity, and all who came were rewarded. The address of the occasion was delivered by the Hon. Thos. G. McLeod, of Bishopville. Mf. McLeod was well received and brought a most helpful and inspiring message. It was an appeal for preparation for entering into the real spirit of American citizenship. Mr. McLeod handled his subject most interestingly and had no trouble holding the attention of his audience. There were many ex pressiuiis ui appi tjciatitui uy who were there. The large audience especially en CLASS, C Fair Wesley Culler Farnum '^ 8^ v ?v"*v*^*81|K^^*g?g IBBIK ^SHH enry Claude Parnelle Angus Wil OOL CLOSES i iFLJL SESSION! , joyed the musical -numbers.

The ie honor of bringing this species belongs n to a South Carolinian, Dr. James B. Davis, of Columbia. 5- During the administration of President Polk the sultan of Turkey exr pressed a wish that an American of >r ability te sent to Turkey to teach the d cultivation of cotton. President Polk y designated Dr. James B. Davis, of s. Columbia, S. C. Dr. Davis accepted the appointment. So well pleased ie was the sultan that in 1849, when n Dr. Davis was ready to return home, ir he presented him with nine Angora goats.
