Cross Hill, June 2.-The address of
'Capt. John J. MoSwain Tuesday even
Ing at the closing exercises of Cross
11111 school, was enjoyed by all. He
and the graduating class were greet
ed with an audience too large for the
auditorium. The speaker used for his
subject the New Discovery of America,
which theme he treated under three
head topics. 1. Germany discovered
America. 2. France discovered Ameri
ca, and 3, America discovered herself.
Of course these three discoveries were
made within the last two years and
were as 'wonderful and nearly as sur
prising as that made by Columbus
more than 400 years ago. The discus
sion was interesting throughout and
the details revealed much Information.
'Mr. Alger 'McSwain, of Newberry,
who graduates from Newberry college

sonic time yet before he is well enough
to secure a discharge. fie is doing
well, however, and his people here
hope he will soon be at home again.
Paul Martin has returned from ov

miles from Newberry.
Miss Lizzie L. Griffin, of Newberry,
who has taught the first three grades

have ever taught here, especially for
the primary grades, and she enjoys
the confidence and esteem of all the
people for her faithful work A&mong
the children and her dignified char
acter and Christian walk and influence
in the community. Miss Lizzie has the
distinction of having taught here
longer than anyone else and it is
earnestly desired by the school au
thorities and patrons that she con
tinue her work on increased salary.
However, she has given no statement
as yet as to her future plans or 'work.
The other teachers have already gone
to their homes several dlays ago.
There is still much grass in this

but the farmers are b~usy with the
'work and if this fair weather con

hindrance and some are already reap

You Can't Buy Better Ones
That not only applies to the
style in these waist-seam suits
we are showing, but to quality
in the clothes.

use nothing but the finest all
wool fabrics; that means long
er wear, better fit, style that
stays stylish.
You'll pay more for such clothes but
they'll cost you less than others, day in and
day out, because they wear longer; you get
more days of service for every dollar you
spend; that's the only way you can really
determine whether a price is low or high.
Our prices are the lowest you'll find,
considering what you get. We don't iust
