An investigation by experts has proven that the work on the state house in Columbia, done in recent years. was a botch. The state hi lost a great deal of money.

I -- Seven Young Ladies Receive Diplomas. Addrss by lion. 0. B. Martin. Music Recital. Seven young ladies .n Tuesday,inight received their diplomas flom the plros perity Graded School. The commencement exercises of this institution, Which began on Monday night with interesting exercises by the primary and grammar grades, mark the close of a very successful session. The enrolment, ha. been one hundred and lifty. and the students show the excel lent training given by Prof. Counts and his assistant teachers, all of whom have been re-elected for another session. The exercises by the graduating class were held on Tuesday night in the new eity hall, and were attended by an audi onee numbering probably seven hundred persons. The building was tilled to its capacity, and many could not ohain seats and were standing inside and out side. The address of the evening was dolivered by Hlon. 0. It. Martin. State Superintendent of Education. The young lady graduates are: Misses Anna Geiger, Efie Hawkins. lena .es ter. Addie Werts, Ellen Werts. L.uey Wheeler. 'lucile Wise, and Isohne Wyche. Each of these spoke upxn a subject assigned by the school. The papers were all good, and diderndt Aith to the young ladies and their teabers and each of the young ladies. at the conclusion of her part in the prgram. was heaped with beautiful tiow esr generous applause. THY' ADVIRFSS OF THI' FVF'NN6. I Ion 0 B Mart in spoke upon The R e'a ti ofEducation toImvsperity. He tkI of recent trips throughout South Cartlima. saying that wherever he had been the hammer and the saw and the piles of brick gradually cianging into lvautiful structures had impressed upon him one word Prosperit. and it wa.s all the more impressed on this occasion. The prosperity of our State, and the prosperity and advancement of any State depend upon the education of the children of the State. True it is a ques tion whether proverity promotes edu eation or education produces prosperity. said the speaker. but he believed that education always precedes prosperity. The work for education of those who have gone before measures the pros perity we enjoy and the W-ork for edu cation which we do now shall measure the prosperity of the future. Prof. Martin cited as an instance go ing to prove the truth of this statement the present material prosperity of New Eigland. a section vith far less natural advantages than the South. The New England fathers put their money into the brains of their children. The speaker said he was glad to no tice in many se :ions of South Carolina new structures going up for educational pur poses. As a simple business ;rop sition. from a purely financial stand point, those at the head of these enter prises are displaying good business judgment not taking into account the far greater end- -the education of the children. It is a sad state of atairs that in South Garolina six out of seven of the inhabitants are without an edu cat ion. This wvouldl not be so bad could lie other six read and write, but about three out of this six have only the least smatte-ing of the rudiments of an edu eat ion. He believed it a fair statement that over :ifty per cent. of the people of South Carolina have not enough edlu cation successfully to engage in any business piursuit. The speaker severely condIemned the sentiment of the older peple which says that what was good enough for us is good enough for our children. The schools have not done enough for the masses. They had tended too much towar-ds the professional, lie had no ticedl during t.he commencement season a woeflul lack of boys on the platform. The schools ought to train these boys. If they are not suited for literary pur suits they should be trained along in dutstrial lines-fitted for the superin tendlency or presidency of a cotton mill or sonme such position. The schools need to have a wider scopeC, to include the training of the hand as well as the head. Education is rnot only the training of the mind. Our schools should (develop more ingenuity. lHe was troubled by the statement that only one man in South Carolina out of 23,000 invents some(t hing, while in Connecticutt one moan out of every 930 invents some thing. On the other hand, our peop)le should support home talent. The spe-aker referred to the wonder fuil dle'elopmewnt and resources of the roith what will1 all these amount to unesour schoojls go forward? Our future proAperity depends upon our pr.o-nt efforts along educational lines.

Miartin's adldres.s, Mr. A. J1. D)ominick announced that the scholarship given the Prosper it.y sechool by Elizabeth College had been wonl by Miiss Isoline Wyche. Thisschol arThip, through the generosity of Eliza heth, is awarded to that young lady of the graduating class who makes tho highest average. It entitles student to free tuition, and tg enter college with out examinations. The diplomas were awarded by D)r. C. T. Wyche Dr. Wyce naddressed the class In a few appropriate words, saying that he knew in their course they had encountered difficulties, but he had not the least doubt that the samo eyes which had filled with tears at the approach of those difficulties, had filled with tears again that this occasion severed their school ties. Dr. Wyche then in a happy talk, -,n behalf of the graduating class, ))re sented a beautiful silver-mounted cane to Mr. E. 0. Counts, principal of the school. Prof. Counts feelingly responded. During the exercises music was fur nished by Miss Annie Helle Wise and Mrs. Maggie Russell Wheeler at the piano. PRIMARY ANI) GitAMMAR GIADES.
