Tho Postoffice. The' postoffice matter stands about statu quo to all appearance, yet there may be something up. C. W. W hit mire left Thursday morning and is said to have gone to Washington, where he still is. He has not yet given bond, and it is reported that charges have been preferred against him, and he has possibly gone there to fix things up again. It is reported that he-will not get his commission. It is now stated that Newton Duckett has en tered the race again and that M. H. Bryce is urging him on. It was also reprted that Duckett had gone to W asbington yesterday, but this report we could not verify. Duckett could possibly give the bond but he would be incompetent to discharge the duties of the office. The office here is an im portant one, and as Mr. Wanamaker is a business man, in all seriousness, he should see to it that a decent and comn petent white man be appointed to the position.

Wednesday the l2th, at s p. iml. TrilE C0 .NDEN(E EE'r exercises of the Newberry Fenal Academy began with the younger chil dren. The Newberry Silver Conic Band gave inspiration to the occasior by playing some of its popular airs. Prayer was offered by Rev. Mr. Mc ('lintock, after which the pretty littl Motion song was presented to the au dience. This was followed by the Clhi! dren's hour. a recitation by Mis Neville Poie. The heather bell polk: followed by 3liss Sallie Kibler. Th( band again enlivened the occasion when Mother goose-M3iss Kittie Liv, ingston, was introduced by. Columubiz and Yankee Doodle-Miss Emma Risei and Master Robert Leavell. The othei characters in the piece were Jack anc Gill-Luther Riser and Helen Jones Red Riding-Hood, Ammie Tarrant; Ok woman in the shoe, Lois Fant: Littli boy blue, Herndon Fair; Goodie twt shoes, Una Lake; Blue Beard, Pierrt Mazyck; Bo Peep, Estelle Todd: Mothet Hubbard, Lucy Riser; Jack Ho:ner, Robert Riser; Jack the giant killer, Charlie Scott; Old woman, Lillie Fair: Old man, Ellerbe Pelham; Silver hair, Talula Salter; and the numerous chi dren, whose names we could not learn, and therefore, lest we "mix them u; like Butter Cup" we leave them for the old woman to pack away 'till the next exhibition. This little conceit in costume was succeeded by the Lion and the glove, recitation by Miss Sena Riser; then came that favorite air, Last Rose of summer, by Miss M. B. Pope; Recifa tion, Miss Bernice Martin: Nym Crin kle Waltz, Miss Livingston. The pro gramnme closed with the Mowers, a pretty little costume song. The band played brightly for the lit tle folks, who did their best to please the large audience, but the rain upon the roof fairly drowned their merry voices. "rHE SWEET GIRL GRADUATES." Tnis term applies forcibly to New berry, and we borrow it for the happy occasion. Thursday night the larger girls gav( their exhibition. The hand again dis coursed some of its best strains of mu sic. The invocation was made by Rev Mr. Cozby. The first piece by the young ladie: was Love's token-caprice, by Mism Emma Riser. Miss Janie Martin, a< the salutatorian of her class, read ar excellent essay-Objects of life. A recitation from the French-the grass hopper and the ant, was spoken in eon cert by Misses Helen Mower, Rem Campsen, Alice Mazyck, Mabel Cash Emiia Wilson, Mary Butler Pope Mattie Wendler, Estelle Todd, Fanni( McCaughrin, Lucy McCaughrin am Una Lake. The Education of woman, by Misi E.* McClintock, was followed by a pict from the band. Little things, by Mis: Hennie Robertson, was very good, botl in thought and style. Little soldiers march, Misses McCaughrin. The enc not yet, a bright little essay, by Mis: Maud Brabham; Crown diamonds duett, Misses McNeil and Pope; Mo ther and poet, a recitation, Miss Salli< Wheeler; St. Paul's waltz, Misses Fai: and Brown; Night brings out the stars an essay by Miss Grace Jones, w hicl happily told that the night of adversit; brings forth the purifying light; Th< fate of Zanora, by Miss E. McClintock was a spirited recitation. To-day w< sail, by Miss Maggie Brabham, close< the essays. [We would like to say here that we could see and hear only indifferentl; well most of the time from our position: This was owing in measure, perhaps to some fault in the accoustics of the hall, and the buz, if not to the lov tones of sonie of the speakers, hence w are not prepared to do the young ladie justice.] From what we could gather of Mis MClintock's essay, it must have bee: a splendid effort-sound, practical an< eloquent. We hope it will lead to thi erection of a stately structure, wel equipped and endowed for the educa tion of the daugh ters of iNew berry. Misss Wheeler's recitation was wit) fine effect. Voice, gesture and persona tion gave evidence of rare talent. The "valedictoriau," Miss Maggi< Brabham, in her appropriate essay spoke persuasively to the audience a weli as to her class. Her address wa replete with- bright, sparkling "sun mery" figures; yet she was not un mindful of the possibility that th "white wings" of her beautiful barqu might be torn by the howling temipesi and the lightnings fringe the dark cur tan of the sky, now so calm and ra diant. The voices of some of the youn; ladies were sweet and musical in thei tremulous utterances, and their mian nr graced with elegance, ease and ex pression. The piano pieces were pre sented at appropriate intervals; s<nn of themu were bright and pretty ani skilfully executed. The Mikado drill was composeda the following young ladies: Louise Tai rant, Annie Bynum, Mary Riser, Lue: Wright, Moriat Martin, Ella Riser, ul Wilson, Mary Bishop, Janie Nanet Lizzie Salter, Kittie Livingston, Mag gie Cline, Mary Suber, and Mamiie Sa ter. The brilliant Japanese robes an< tastefully ornamented hair of ti blondes and brunettes who marche< and "mano3ueered" upon the stag with the wonderful fan, was a prett; picture upon which the aud ienc feasted its eyes. The award of prizes was nowv in orde. The first prize, gold medal, because a tie, was awarden both to Miss Grac Jones and Miss Eupitemnia McClintocis The second prize, a silver medal,t Miss Sallie XX heeler. In the in term< diate department the first prize, silve medal, was taken by Miss Helen Mon er, and, because of a tie, the secon by Misses Sena Riser and Mary Butle Pope. In the primary class Misses Amini Trrant anid Bessie Gilder also tie and divided the honor of the first priz -a silver medal. Miss B3anna Ne took the second prize, a beautiful bool TJhese prizes were all given for ger eral average. The band played a very beautifi march, after which the brilliant sen upon the stage dissolved and the lary audience departed well pleased wit the evening's entertaimnent.

The exhibition of the Preparatory Department of Newberry College, un der the management of Prof. Dreiher, came off last Friday night. The weather was pleasant and the "preps were all right." The band cheered them and the audience inspired them, and they went bravely on without a hitch in their programme. The blessing of heaven was asked - upon the occasion by Rev. Mr. Wight - man. , The first essay, Tattling, by Master Henry Caldwell, gave the gossip, the , small-talker and the scandal-lover some first-rate rasping. I D. W.

June is a pecular month of comn mencemflents all over this land of ours, 'Our Colleges, Academies and High Schools, all turn out a large number o1 young nmen- and women, to grapple with the rough, surging billowslof life. Some of these will outstrip their peer, and reach the very pinnacle of fame and honor. Some, alas! will tend downward and leave the world, as in. dividuais, worse than they found it. While these pleasant closing scenes oj the various institutions of learning have beeni, and are still going on, we have had a very successfnl closing o1 Prosperity High School in our midst. I must say right here, that in a lettei of this character, I cannot do justice tc to the.se closing exercises. My repori must necessarily be0 brief and con. densed. As Thursday evenling was throwing her dark mantle over our peopl numerous groups could be seen wend ing their way along the various avenue: leading to the Academy building. A an early hour the polite ushers w~er< unable to fine more vacant seats, and quite a large crowd could not gain en trance at all. The stage and window these about weore most4 beautifully ani tastefully decorated with rare speci mens of flowers and evergreens. Thi exercises of the evening were by th< Cinean Literary Society. The President Mr. Sidney D)uncan in a happy mannier, and in a few wel chosen remarks openei1d thle exercises and introduced his mnemblers, several o wom deserve special mention, but we forbear. The whole programme wa well rendered. Th'le music by the Pros perity strinig bandu was5 most excellen ad added greatly to the interest u the occasion. A t the close of the even ig exercises, refreshments in the w~ai of ice cream and eu cke were largely piar taken of. On Friday morning a largze crowd as sembled at and early hlour arid the' certainly enjoyed an exceedingly rari treat from the little ones of the school On Friday evening camne the closin; exercises of the school. The Academ3 was dlensely packed and agiain had t< remain on the outside. The exercises of the evening conisisted of an exhibi tion of a class of young ladios-and girl in calesthenicis under the tutorship o Miss Lillian Luther, one of tho faculty Tie" diff-icult evoluitionis were well per formed. 'We were somewhat rein idet of our old soldier days, when on thi drill we were commflandeId to "'Load ir nine timhes, Loaid ;"* This exercisi was followed by th~e reading of th< essays by the two graduates.

The principal of the school soon announced to the great relief of the audience that Mr. Cromer was not seriously ill. Rev. A. J. Bowers, Principal, then proceeded to close Prosperity High School in a formal manner. The string band again discoursed sweet strains of music throughout the even ing. Refreshments were again served, and thus' closed another scholaristic year in the history of Prosperity High School. Tfhe exercises throughout commended themselves to overy one, and reflected mxuch credit, not only on the st udents, but on the untiring and devoted faculty. Another Attempt at Robbery.

Ewart on a Saturday night when it wast thought he was at the store. This time it is in the same neigh borhood. Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Moody were at the Opera House on Saturday practicing singing leaving at home the servant girl and the children. About half p)ast nine o'clock the girl heard a noise in the house and when she in vestigatea she found it was a man in the store-room in the back part of the house. She gave the alarm and sent for Mr. Moody but the party or parties escaped leaving behind only a hat. Several articles had been thrown out the window but nothing had been taken away. The same night some one got into Mrs. Brown's pantry and succeeded in carrying away all her Sunday dinner and some edibles This thing is getting to be too fre quent.
