On Monday morning at 10 o'clock l the annual military competition was held at Rhoad park by the Carlisle I batallion. This very interesting feaj ture of the \ commencement programme was witnessed by a large number, who showed their appreciation by the generous applause given the companies and the individuals. Many difficult maneuvers were executed by the young soldiers. Capt. Geo. M. Couper, the school's efficient I urofessor of military science and tac tics, is to be heartily congratulated on the work he has done. Promptly at 10 o'clock, adjutant's call was sounded and the battalion marched on the field for the annual review. The reviewing judges were: I Col. W. C. Duncan, Capt. Geo. M. Couper, E. H. Henderson, W. M. | Brabham, and Paul Zeigler. The company competition was then j entered into. This competition is an annual affair to determine the best drilled company. Company B, Cap- j tain Peter Stokes, Jr., was first to . pome on the field. The company was brought before the judges and turned j over to the lieutenant, who prepared it for inspection. A problem was given the captain and he carefully ! studied this during the inspection, i The manual of arms was then execut- j ed as follows: 1. Present arms; 2. J Right shoulder arms; 3. Order arms; ! 4. Port arms; 5. Left shoulder arms; ! 6. Right shoulder arms; 7. Rifle sa-j lute; 8. Order arms. This was also ! gone through with without the num-! bers.

Company B left the field and company A came on and went through the same maneuvers. Both compan ies received tnunaerous appiause. The next event was the individual drill. Ten men from each company entered the competition. The commands were given by Cadet Major E. Kemeys Goethe and the judges threw out the competitors on two mistakes. The contest was exciting in the extreme, Cadet Sgt. Gifford Solomons finally winning. Company A marched to the grandstand and E. H. Henderson presented Sgt. Solomons with the individual medal. The beautiful sabre was then presented to ^ayi. Liaigc %xa i,um' mander of the winning company. The colors were likewise presented to company A. A most impressive conclusion of the programme was the battalion parade. Class Day Exercises Held Monday Afternoon Immediately after the laying of the cornerstone of the H. J. Brabham hall Monday afternoon, the senior clas* held their class day exercises on the beautiful grass covered campus at Carlisle. The exercises began with a short introduction by the president of the class, Cadet E. D. Law. Cadet William Lander made all the visitors welcome with his salutatory. Lieut. Ralph Durham then read the history of the illustrious class of 1922. It was indeed a remarkable history. The poem was delivered by T.ipnt. Thaddeus Inabinett. the nro phecy by Sgt. Leonard Arant, and the will by Sgt. Rudolph Bozard. The class then resolved itself into a mock faculty meeting. The large j erowd thoroughly enjoyed this feature of the programme. Durham was very good in his portrayal of Col. Duncan and McCoy kept the crowd laughing as the Rev. Mr. Cantey. Law concluded the programme with the valedictory. These exercises were a fitting finish to the wonderful school record of the class of 1922. Diplomas onday Night Thaddeus Inabmett KJCIZ \SrULVTlLUllVlCUUl (By Major Wm. R. Watson.)

Capt "Large represented the Kilgo Literary socie! ty with the subject, "Spartacus To [The Gladiators." The second speakier of the evening, Lieut. Earle B.

The fourth and last speaker of the evening was Lieut. Ralph A. Durham, who represented the Beach Literary society with the subject, "Education And Progress." At the conclusion of his speech the judges retired to make up their award. E. H. Henderson and J. F. Carter, of the local bar, and Rev. S. 0. Cantey composed the committee of judges. After the Carlisle band had given anotner selection, Air. nenaerson was escorted to the rostrum to announce the winner and deliver the medal. In a very happy little talk, Mr. Henderson congratulated the young men who had spoken". He said that the art of speaking in public was understood by very few men, and that each of the declaimers was to be praised for the effort and study that had been put forth. Lieut. Thaddeus Inabinett was then announced as the winner and he was presented with the beautiful medal which is given each year by Carlisle school. The benediction was pronounced by Rev. S. 0. Cantey. W. F. Hogan, of the Kilgo society was chief marshal. He was ably assisted by Reuben Farmer and James Snyder, of the Sheridan society, Ralph Polk and J. D.

J 1 P D sermon was aenvereu uy xvev. vr. j. . , Watson, pastor of the Mullins Methodist church. The entire service was one of the most beautiful ever held in connection with the commencement exercises of Carlisle school.

Watson. Prayer. Hymn?"uome, Hoiy spirit. Benediction. Rev. Mr. Watson took his text from the 28th chapter of Job, the 12th to 15th verses, inclusive. He condensed this into three words, "Searching For Wisdom." Mr. Watson's remarks-' were addressed primarily to the members of the senior class but the entire congregation was . sDellbound by the beautiful thoughts ! expressed. Six lessons of vital importance were drawn from the text: Wisdom is supremely desirable; wisdom is more than the satisfaction of curiosity; wisdom does not lie on the surface; wisdom is not easily gained; wisdom cannot be bought; wisdom is a Divine gift for saving souls. These topics were developed with a power | possessed only by few preaobers or the Gospel. The difference between wisdom and knowledge is very clear. Knowledge without wisdom is a misfortune. Either without a thorough regard for the principles taught by Jesus Christ is more than sad. The speaker said that Christian education aimed to train the young people of the state and nation for both sacred and secular leadership. The opportunities offered would never come again and an urgent appeal was made to every student to redeem the time now so that later years would have no bitter regrets. In addition to the powerful sermon, the music and anthems were very beautiful. The prelude, an organ-piano duet by Mrs. Frank Moye and Mrs. E. H. Henderson, was all that any devout heart could desire. The selection was the beautiful "Traumerei." The Carlisle marshals acted as ushers. ??i 1 'I Mrs. Beach Gives Seniors Reception. The reception given to the senior class by our beloved matron, Mrs. Beach, held Wednesday night, was a , great success. Mrs. Beach's delicious punch, ice < cream and cake were served at various intervals during the evening. Those who enjoyed the occasion . were as follows: L. F. Arant, Miss Utsey; C. Bonnett, Miss Free; R. Boyd, Miss Chandler; J. E. Gallman, . Miss Spann; R. A. Durham, Miss Wiggins, M. Mishoe, Miss Steedly; P. . Stokes, Miss Price; E. K. Goethe, Miss " Tr VTlOr.

R. Watson.) Rev. G. P. Watson made the annual ^ address to the Carlisle Young Men's Christian association Sunday evening, f The .service was held in Trinity ^ Methodist church with a large con- t gregation worshiping with the Car- j lisle boys. Those who heard the powerful sermon bv Rev. Watson were again impressed with his consecration and ability. He is always a hap- e py speaker, not only using most beau- ^ tiful English and expression, hut also ^ giving his hearers much /food for ^ 4.U ? U 4 UUUUglUL. , The message Sunday evening was based on the second verse of the , second chapter of First Kings: "Be J thou strong, therefore, and show thyself a man." This was the admoni- , tion given to Solomon by his father, David, when he was old and realized ] that the time was near at hand when t Solomon would assume the leader- , ship of Israel. Rev. Watson said that the words of the text were -his j words of admonition to the young ( * * ? * - xt? :? men 01 toaay, wneu an. tue wunu. ia i < calling for trained leaders, men who j are men in the real sense of the word. The speaker then enumerated some ^ of the present day ideas of manhood and contrasted them with the qualities that God requires in a man. The , young boy sometimes thinks he must , chew tobacco in order to be a man. . < The falseness of this idea was very humorously illustrated when Mr. Watson told of his first chew?as well , < as his last. Many boys think that t ' J* 1? ^ the aDiiitoy to swear proiaueiy is uuv ^ mark of a man, but this idea was < shown to be opposed to all that real j men stand for. The "wild oats" idea was discussed. In this age when men are reckless of life and property the , "wild oats" idea was not to be toler- j ated if we should pause and note the disasters caused thereby. Many boys believe it a disgrace to t be "tied to mother's apron string," but the speaker voiced the beautiful c thought: "The boy who hangs from mother's apron string will never j dangle from the gallows." The par- r ents of today do not properly im- j press upon their children the necessitoy of regard for parental restraint. ( Drinking, in times gone by, was sup posed to show a boy's manhood. Since the advent of prohibition this idea is gradually being lost and should be stamped out entirely. Persistence, devotion to work, energy, and the resolute resisting of temptation are the qualities desirable in those who claim to be men.

The grand master then tried the stone by the plumb, square and lev3l and pronounced the stone true, veil formed and trusty.

The grand master made a short address on the principles of ?Yee Masonry and the aims of the orler and the grand chaplain pronoun-5 :ed the benediction.

This trowel was used )y the noted Frenchman, Marquis De LaFayette, in laying the corneritone of Che De Kalb monument in Camden in 1825, and is now a very raluable possession of the grand odge of South Carolina. - BIGHAM CASE STATUS. ???
