Col. B. Butler's Magnificent Ad
dress Before the Historical So
ciety and Other Inter
esting Events.
The commencement exercises of
Cooper-Limestone Institute fgx 1890
were inaugurated by a meeting of the
Missionary Society in the chapel of
the institute Sunday afternoon at 5
o’clock, at which time the Rev. J. I).
Grout delivered the missionary ser
mon before the society, choosing as
his subject the “Missionary-Spirit.”
The sermon was replete with'happy
situations and was splendidly deliv
ered, the audience evincing its ap
preciation by the close attention
given the speaker throughout the en
tire discourse. The meeting was pre
sided over in happy style by the
president, Miss Werts, while Prof.
Mack delighted the audience with a
brief history of the society. The so
ciety has for its work this year the
supporting of a missionary in Brazil,
the missionary being a daughter of a
Dr. It. H. Griffith, a former principal
of the institute. A collection for
missions was taken up at which a
neat sum was realized.
Monday at 10:30 a. m. the annual
exercises of the Literary society took
place. The following program was
rendered in nice style:
Piano duet—"Le-Mardi-Gras-aux
Knfers tjuadrille,” C. Schubert—Miss
Annie May Martin and Miss Matilda
Croxton.
Recitation—“Judy O’Shcar Sees
Hamlet”—Miss Juliet Lipscomb.
Essay—“The Glory of Our Age”—
MissJennille Gwin.
Address—Col. T. B. Butler.
Last words of the president, Miss
Minnie Parker, to the members of
society.
Col. Butle£j>-add'r(^ was of a his
torical nature and The Ledger has
heard a number of collpfrtiments
passed upon it. The subject was
clear and the delivery embraced the
cardinal principles of attractive pub
lic speaking—distinctive delivery and
choice diction.
The closing event of the commence
ment was the pupils’ recital on
Monday evening. The chapel was
crowded to its utmost capacity, the
pupils were at their best and the ex
cellent program was exceedingly well
rendered.
Suppe’n “Boccaccio” by Misses
Mack and Tyler, andNevara’s “Azure
Skies,” by Miss Mabel Fort were well
received, as was also Miss Marie
Turner's rendition of “A Chapter'
from Helen’s Babies.”
Gilbert and Sullivan’s “Patience”
was well rendered by Misses Smith
and Lancaster, while Miss Juliet Lip-
comb’s “Miss Witchazel and Mr.
Thistlepod” was heartily received.
Lynnes’ “He was a Prince,” by
Miss Etta Manville, with piano ac
companiment by Miss Carroll, showed
improvement in Miss Manville’s
voice.
Bohm’s “Hussah Galop,” by Miss
Tyles, showed evidence of study on
her part.
Master O. P. Richardson’s recita
tion of “My First Singing Lesson”
was unique.
Miss Mabel Fort’s execution of
Leavitte’s “May Waltz” on the violin
proved hertobe an apt pupil of three
months.
Bohm’s “Mil. Galop” was exceed
ingly well rendered by Miss Eva Ross
and was liberally applauded. Her
touch is very delicate for one of her
years.
Miss Lillian Wood's recitation of
“Molly,” was all that could ho de
sired and elicited hearly applause.
Miss Annie Martin’s rendition of
Heller’s “Tarantelle” was very good.
She evidently possesses considerable
talent. ,
Miss Ola Kendrick recited “Sell
ing a Feller” and “Misi Huldah” in
her usual charming manner.
Misses Johnson and Uoss’ rendi
tion of “Dame de Seville” was very
well done.
The gem of the recitations was
Miss Bird Crawley’s “Life at a Fash
ionable Hotel.” She is a charming
little elocutionist.
Miss Florence Griffith received lib
eral applause for her splendid rendi
tion of Hatter’s “Belles of New York.”
Miss Nannie Cora Richardson’s
rendition of tragipal “Annette,” was
good and we would not be surprised
to see her undertake and successfully
perform some heavier work along that
line.
One of the most agreeable numbers
of the evening, however, did not ap
pear on the program. It was the
rendition of several selections by an
orchestra composed of Mrs. Fay Gaff
ney, Misses Johnson and Fort, vio
linists, Mr. M. G. Montgomery, cor-
netist, and Prof. W. L. Johnson, pi
anist.
Prof. Mack’s compliment to the
boys and young men of Gaffney was
no more than they deserved and on
behalf of them we return thanks to
Other Local News on Pages 1 and 7.

The Board of Registration have an-

the voters of this township. Bear
that in mind and be on hand.
We would like to know why it is
they .have not advertised to go to
Grassy Pond, Allens, Allgood, Ezells
and possibly other places in the pro
posed new county. Is it a dodge to
keep the people from registering? It
certainly looks that way to us.
