Moonlight ItaInl?ow.
A number of our citizins en
joyed the rare sight of a moon
light rainbow on Monday night
just after that deceptive shower
of rain. The rainbow is des
cribed as very similar to the
other kind, but to liave a whiter
and mistier apperance. Its
coarse was slightly north-east
by south-west.

himself on the event.

This section was visited on
Tuesday evening by a heavy
down-pour of rain which contin
ued nearly an hour, the first we
have had in several weeks. It
was gratefully received by all.
Crops and; all vegitatiou was
suffering badly, and a drouth of
a week longer would haye been
followed J by serious results.
Now, however, iu anticijuition,
our mouth is watering for such
delicacies as cabbage, beans, beets

to indulge in the grosser food of

The commencement Merciies
of the Camden Graded School,
which MftMMes also the High
tic boot, were held in the Opera
House on Monday, and were ex
ceptionally line. They were
opened with prayer by the Rev.
Jabex Ferris, alter whicn Hon.
T. J. Kirk land, Chairman of the
Board of Trustees, in a few
words, paid a high compliment
to the superintendent and teach
ers, after which he enlarged
somewhat upon the past work of
the Board, und expressed the
hope that when they turn over
thfir positions to others, all the
school buildings in the district
will have been put in good con
dition.
Prof. Kennedy, the Superin
tendent then read his report,
which for lack of space, we will
be compelled to give in con
densed form? From it we gather
that the total enrollment for the
session just clo?iug, which in
cludes the Factory School was
and for the Jackson School,
895. The average monthly en
rollment-tor the white schools
was 378, and for the Jackson
School (colored) 255.
This, as Superintendent Ken
nedy well said, shows a healthy
growth of interest in education
all along the line, and we join
with him in congratulating the
patrons and all the people upon
ihe fact. There was much more
in Prof. Kennedy's report which
we are compelled to omit because
of that saiue lack of space. But
almost all of you were there, you
know the report was entirely
satisfactory und it makes dry
reading in a newspaper.
The graduating class this year
consisted of three young men
and six young ladies. The names
of the young men graduates are
Lexie Ueisenlieuner, James Sto
ney and Willie Trantham. These
young men are all well known to
us so we will not dilate on their
handnuMiieHit. Suffice it to suy
that neither of the the three
would crack a photographic cam
era. Of the six young lady
graduates, however, we have a
little more to say. They are
Misses Anuie Alexander, Elise
Birchinore, Eulalie Earle, Ida
Goodule, Uosa Jacobsoh and Sel
tnaParrish, and seldeui has Cam
den seen upon the stage of its
0{>era House such aO " exquisite
sextet of girlish loneliness.
Only two essays were read
this year by the graduating class,
the lirsl, a very beautiful thing,
entitled "The Beauties of the
Imagination" by Miss Annie Al
exander, the second honor grad
uate, which was delivered with
taste and effect -as was evidenced
by the stoma of applause that
greeted its conclusion. Then fol
lowed the central figure of the
occasion, the Valedictorian. Miss
Selrua liernheim Parrisn, the
youngest, perhaps, to graduate
from any graded school, being
only fourteen years old. The
jiopularity of this young lady
was instantly evident, as coming
forward to the front of the stage,
a vision of beauty, in fairy white,
she deliyered her address (or es
say) in a clear, musical voice
that was distinctly heard through
out the spaciaus hall. The essay
was a masterpiece, and had it
had a name, might have been en
titled "Parting. " Judging from
the intellect displayed by this
young lady in the composition
and delivery of this Valedictory,
we predict a brilliant future for
her, should she conclude to make
elocution her life work.
At the conclusion of the read
ing of the essays, Judge W. C.
Ltenet, the orator of the occasion
was introduced. Judge iienct
is recognized as the finest edu
cated man in South Carolina,
and he held his audience spell
bound throughout the whole of
uu address, replete with grand
thopghts, moving scutencesand
brilliant peiiods. Tlie orator
had a great subject, a combina
tion of tho necessity for keeping
yourself well informed us to the
past history of the {South, anil
impressing upon his hearers the
growth of Southern literature.
Judge Denet, ut the conclusion
of his address, delivered the
scholarship medal to Miss Seluia
Blenheim Parrish in a few grace
fully worded sentences.
The Comi>osition medal which
was won by Master James Sto
ney, was delivered to him by
Mr. E. S. Vaux, an orator hiin
self of no mean ability, who by
his effort ou this occasion added
new* laurels to a brow already
crowned with them.
This concluded the most suc
cessful commencement that oid
Camden has ever witnessed, and
we congratulate the able Super
intendent and his corps of assis
tants u]>on their admirable work.
Only a drop in the .bucket.
$25,000 will uot build the kind of
court house that Camden and
Kershaw ought to have under
present conditions, so look out
for a call for more money. Lot
us go the whole hog fellow citi
zens and have a court house
that we can be proud of, hut by
all moans put it in the right ptacc,

Sam and Jake.
These two coons are certainly
originals, and if there is any
thing going", they will hear of it
through some one of their var
ious sources of information. As
evidence that the colored brother
or sister can pick up more news
in an hour than can the white
man or woman in a week, we
will give you in brief the gist of
their conversation on the oc
casion of their last weekly meet
ing.
Jake 6aid to Sam: "say, is yu

Court House Dots.
The election resulted in a
majority of 32 for the caurt
house.
183 voted to build anywhere.
151 t j build it on the site where
it belongs, in front of the jail.
AJboycoot is a serious matter, I
and the instigators of them are
sometimes put in the penitenti
ary where all of them belong.
334 voters out of about 2,000
voted for a new court house
some with a proviso. About
1,700 other voters said by their
absence from the polls fliat they
do not care a snap. We are with
the majority every time*
"That fellow Schrock, ought
to be boycotted for opposing the
building of the ne <v court house. "
The follow who made this re
mark proves by its utterehce
that he has not enough gray

pupils wanted who say, "The
People fought the new court

will bo copies of The People
from the tirst mention of the
new court house.
"We beat you" is a remark
frequently addressed to us these
days. It amuses us well as irrit
ates us to hear it, the remark
being a superb piece of asininity
asjdirected to us. The most of
those who make them do not
take The People or, do pot pro
