Mountville, S. C. May 29, 1911.?-Last week witnessed the closing work of the Mountville school for the session lOlO.'ll. On Thursday evening the class exer cises were he'd in the presence of an overflowing house. There were six of those who had completed th eHlgh School course and were given certifi cates of graduation. Their names and the subjects of their essays and ora tions are given in the order in which j they were presented Thursday even ing: Ella .lohn Boyd, subject, Kind ness. Virginia Lee Nelson, The Value of Perseverence. Hohei t Watts H?rtg ens, The Royal Path of Life. Ruth Tolliver Miller. The Life Worth Liv ing. Robert Pressloy Thornton. The Hast and Future as they appear at Commencement. Bllza Esther Boyd.the Sixth member of the ?Mass, was not present. These exercises were intermingled with songs by the pupils, and were, both in preparation and delivery, a credit to the voting men and girls of the class. Friday morning the large crowd, winch was even increased from the evening before, reassembled for the final exercises. The teachers and pu pils met at the school building and marched, two abreast, to the Baptist church where the meeting was held. Rev. s. M, Hollingsworth lad In pray er. County Superintendent. Qco. L. Pitts, was Introducd who spoke at length on the Progress and Needs of, our schools. His ? utile address was good, interesting, and nl times elo-1 qucnt. He pointed <mi with clearness and force the improvement in school buildings, efllclency in teaching force, increase in finances, etc. The speak er grew somewhat eloquent when be [declared that Case evident advances in school work have been made not withstanding the loss of Dispensary profits. While he fell the need and ex pressed a desire for still better school houses, more money, better teachers, more active and Interested trustees. Mr. I'itts declared that the greatest need of our educational work today is the sympathy, the love, and the pray ers of the people for its success. Supt. I'itts was followed by Rev. 0. M. llolllngsworth who made a very str:?ng and earnest appeal for moral training in our schools. As a life of solid and unwavering character should be the result of educational develop ment, the moral feature in the train ing of our children cannot bo in glect cd. lie .moke of the example and in-; llueuce of teachers and the duly of trustees in the selection of teachers land In knowing what cod.- of morals is being taught in their respective schools. The speaker plead 'or the Bible as a foundation for character building. I tilth these add res es were good and wire given the clososl attention by Hie audience. Principal \V. P, Culbortson, in a short appropriate talk, presented cer tificates of graduation to th ? class as ? mentioned ubo\ e. Rev. Mr. llolllngsworth in .i very pleasant manner prcsi a ted prizes to Miss Doilie Puller for tie- greatest number of head marks, and to Master; Eugene Mitchell lor highest average during lb.- session. These prizes were1 offered by Miss Marie Stokes to I. sr pupils of the Ttb and 8th grades. Under the shady boughs of the "giant oaks" in the town park was spread a bountiful ami delicious pic nic dinner upon which was sol at ease every appetite, from the most delicate to the keenest acute.

The:,- good people' added materially to the i iijoyiuentH or the day lor which we are profoundly grateful; in the a fief noon a slow and tlrnggy game of hall was played between Wat erloo and Mountville teams, SOliiG in teresting features of which wer. tho home runs of Dave Richardson and Robert Thornton. The game resulted in the score of 10 to 7 in favor of the home boys. The subject ot a Mountville hank Is being agitated again and the estab lishment of the same seems now to be an assured reality.

There was a resumption of the up ward tendency of eotton prices at the start this week, but later a reaction set in that carried the July option about. 60 points below the high level touched on the present movement. In the early trading practically all of the news was of a strengthening char acter, continued complaints of Urought and more optimistic trade advices from domestic centers being the chief influences In this respect, while sup port was also derived from the per. slstent decrease in the local certificat ed supply and the bullishness of the statistical situation in general. These various factors prompted leading in terests to assume a somewhat aggres sive attitude on the buying side, es pecially in the old crop positions, and there was considerable covering in the new crop options in anticipation of an unfavorable weekly Government weather report on Tuesday. The offic ial statement indicated varied condi ' tlons throughout the belt and v m of such a nature as to produce COl i?!er able Uncertainty among the specula tive element Most sections of Texas were said to need rain and the* drought In the Carolinas was regarded as be ing serious, which is leading some people to expect that the first Govern ment condition estimate of the season, to be issued on June -, will prove less bearish than previously anticipated. It is generally gellevcd, however, that the report will show a higher condi tion than the >?- per cent, on May 2~> last year, the date covered by the re turns, and the increase in acreage will probably be sufficient to bring the area under cultivation Up to the largest total in the history of the South. Fol lowing the Initial advance the market turned heavy under liquidation by prominent bull interests und rather aggressive short selling, although the new crop months were relatively steady In spjte of more favorable prl- I vate crop advices. These comprised reports of showers in the Carolinas, and the Journal of Commerce in a special summary noted favorable pros, pects in both Georgia and Alabama, especially in the latter. The stock of cotton at New York has dwindled with great rapidity Mid is down to only about 00,000 bales, against il's.ihhi at tlie opening of May and 210,000 bales at this time a year ago. while there is little of the stnple coming from the South to replenish ibis small supply. Advices from the leading domestic cotton goods centers tell of a more general Inquiry and increased busi ness. This Is attributed largely to tin advent of warm weather in many sec tions, which has stimulated iho retail demand for seasonable meVchaiidisc end created more activity its well in the wholesale departments.
