The closing exorcises of the Abbeville High School were witnessed by a large crowd in the Court House on Thursday evening. The exercises were divided ii?to two parts. The tirst. jwrt of the eveninG was devoted jo the execution of the following programme : Debate?Subject, "Which confers the greater benefits. Wealth or Contentment." Aftirmitive : Masters Thomas Parker, Lambert White, James Perrin. .Negative : Fraser Livingston, James Cotliran, Andrew Edwards. French composition?Subject. ii.La j\femoire." Written by Miss Annie Ilemph'.ll, read by Oapt. Boiiham. Recitation?"The Conquered Banner." Muster Andrew WardlaV. English composition?"Romance and Reality." Written f>y Miss Jennie Zeigler, read by Mr. Willie Thompson. Recitation?"(Juilty or not guilty ?" Master Walter Visanski. Latin composition?"Ars Sliulendi." "Written and rend by Master Thomas Parker. The committee appointed to decide J the debate reported their decision in favor of the negative, saying however, that the vote stood seven to five in lavor of the negative. The pupils all did well. We would mention the recitation by Muster Walter. as showing unusual power of declamation. PART II. This consisted of a play by the smaller children of the School entitled the ' Sleeping Princess." The play opened by an address froVn the King of Dreamland, in which he announced the birth of a baby princess and issued a proclamation for a grund christening feast, to which the fuiry queen Titaniu and all her train were invited. In the midst of the feast, appcurs Malacina, a wicked fairy, and.in revenge for not having been invited to the feast, condomns the infant iirinfivuu .-15? ? --1 e , .... vu >?.V UJ a n UUIIU iruill a spindle. The queen appeals to Titauia to break the charm, but Titauia declares her inability to do so, but promises to "turn aside its harm." The f>rincess she says will have to sleep an liindrcd years, but at the end of that time will be awakened by Prince Charming Titania counsels the breaking ot' wheels, and the banishment of all spinster.;. The Princess on reaching the age of eighteen, loses her way when out walking, and wanders into an old garret, where she finds an old dame, Tabitha, spinning. She wounds herself when spinning, and immediately falls into an enchanted sleep. Queen Titania puts all her friends to sleep also, and at the end of the hundred 3*ears, the Princess 1 and her friends are awaked by Prince Charming. ' He low we give tho caste of characters. Ail of the pupils acted their parts s well, but it was the universal verdict that Miss. Mzxie Marshall, in Malacina, could not be surpassed. DKAMATIS 1'KltSON.r..

Calhoun. t There is presented in this issue of 1 ine mkbsesoer tie name of Col. (). T. r Calhoun as a candidate for the Legisla- r ture. It were almost almost an act of f supererogation to introduce Col. Cal- v houn to the people of Abbeville. Born n amongst tht-m he hns lived his life 1 amongst them, discharging the duties of ' citizenship as becomes any good m*n. 1 In war, as a sixteen year old boy, he * has eerved his country well. In all the n political duties of the past he has been v true and tried, faithfut and active. As ^ a lawyer he ranks deservedly high for 1 his ability, zeal and devotion to the in- 0 terests of his clients. Col. Calhoun is an independent thinu??r and possessod of his convictions. His voice will give no uncertain sound upon any public ques- 1 lion. If he be elected to represent this ? people in the House his constituents r inav rest assured that their interests and c his public duties will receive at his i hands earnest attention. \ c For County Commissioner. t Capt. Joel W. Lites is announced 1 this week as a candidate for County 1 Commissioner. Capt. Lites has never * before sought political preferment of c any sort, but has beon universally re- 1 cognized as one of the best farmers and business men in his community. IT elected he will bring, to the discharge of the duties of this most important t office, as sound views on all business i matters as is possible by any man in the t county. Abbeville County could on- i trust the management of her affiars to i no more competent hands than those of a Capt. Jool Lites. 1 '... .1 v . ... ^; The Court.

"Which has the Cireater Influence ll over man Love or Fear." The chal0 lenge was thrown down by the affirina: live and courageously taken up by the " negative. Sometimes it would seem that the arguments hung evenly in the balance in the the minds of the President and the audience. Then some last 1 speaker would prove that your mind 1 was already made up on his side when ii he had finished. The discussion was listened to with rapt attention, and when . President Colman Waller began to sum , up the arguments, like a veteran Presi, dent, all was attention, lie reviewed i the speakers in line language for one of , his years and gave his/>pinion in favor of the atlirmaiive.
