The Closing Exercises of Miss Par.

[Rejmrted for Tiik News.]
On Friday evening last, June
24, The News reporter was
present by invitation at the
closing exercises of Miss Leila Thursday and h riday nights,
Parrott’s school, at Swift Creek, and performed wonderful feats.

CONFEDERATE VETERANS.
An Appeal to the Old Soldiers to Or
ganize in Camps.
The United Confederate
Veterans will hold their annual
I reunion at Birmingham, Ala.,
on July 19 and 20. A f ter the
reunion the veterans will go to
the World's Fair to witness the
is. We do not know how they unveiling at Chicago of the first

the skilful hands of Miss Laurie things which others directed j ''ave been added,
Law, which is saying that it
was as pretty as hands could
make it.
The programme was long and
varied, indeed, so long that it
will be impossible to mention
one-half of the good things pre
sented, nor would there be
space for the article The first
number was the song, “My
country, ’tis of thee,” sung by
the whole school with organ ac
companiment. Each singer
wore some appropriate patriotic
device, and the audience was
unanimous in saying that the
selection was eminently proper.
An address of welcome was
made by little Miss Virginia
Parrott, which was followed by
many others by very small chil
dren, each one doing his or her
part with great credit. One lit
tle girl, not more than four
years old made quite a hit by
her beautiful recitation. “Mary
had a William Goat,” by Mas
ter Jimmie Early, brought
down the house; so also did a
recitation in character, “Stole
dom breeches.” The recitation,
“Red, white and blue,” in
which Misses Odom, Caldwell
and Blackwell and Master
Claude Parrott took part, was
one of the best of the evening.
A discussion on the rights of
boys, by Master Claude Parrott,
was very amusing.
During the evening Prof.
Moot!, who presided at the or
gan, gave some fine musical se
lections. He was assisted by a
first and second violin, their
music adding greatly to the suc
cess of the evening.
Towards the close of the en
tertainment the curtain rose on
a scene which must have been
very impressive to those present
who had followed the fortunes
of the “Southern Cross.” At
the right of the stage stood a
soldier in the historic gray of
the Confederate army, holding
the battle flag; near by stood a
little girl, Miss Bessie Early,
who recited Father Ryan’s
beautiful poem, “The Conquer
ed Banner,” and as she recited
the well known lines the flag
was slowly furled, making a
very impressive and realistic
scene.
A little boy, Master C. E. Ear
ly, made a very happy good
night speech and the successful
entertainment was at an end.
Mr. C. D. Evans, of Darlington,
sang several solos.
After the exercises were over
ice cream and cake were sold in
aid of an organ fund and the
young people spent some time
in chatting. Altogether, the
entertainment was a most decid
ed success, and those present
will, no doubt, heartily join
with us in thanking Miss Par
rott for giving so much pleas
ure. The care taken in training
so many children and the quiet
and orderly way in which every
thing was conducted do credit
to both teacher and pupils and
make the school one of which
the community may well be
proud. When the next enter
tainment is given in Early's
hall this reporter (if invited)

a blackboard. Here he did not
hold anyone’s hand but held
the end of a long wire while
seven men held the other end.
He read each letter of the word
as the seven men concentrated
their thoughts upon it. The
whole performance was wonder
ful and the Professor has left
our people deeply interested in
“mind reading” and wondering
how it is done.
Before leav ing Darlington
Prof. Goshaun engaged the ser
vices of Mr. Geo. H. McKee, of
this place, as his business man

a year and Mr. McKee left on

Beaufort, June 23.—Yester
day while Mrs. Leonard Phini
zy, of Augusta, and her little
son were bathing in the river,
directly in front of the Sea Is
land Hotel, of Beaufort, they
got beyond their depth and
would have been drowned, for
they had gone under the second
time, had not Miss Mamie Ba-
cot, a girl of sixteen, daughter
of Mr G. Cuthbert Bacot, gone
to their rescue. Mamie had
just commenced disrobing for a
bath when she heard Mrs. Phin-
izy gasping for breath. With
out waiting for anything she
sprang into the river with her
clothes on and came very near
going under too, for her dress
skirt, which she had previously
unfastened, became entangled
round her feet and it was only
by a desperate effort that she
got rid of it and swam out and
rescued Mrs. Phinizy
child. It was a noble

in for papers and information
from enough to organize at least
75 more Camps.
The general Commanding,
and all veterans are extremely
anxious that all of our comrades
in the South, shall be united
with our grand Association, and
that as large a representation
as possible can be had at the
Birmingham Reunion on July
19th and 20th next.
We hope you will publish the
above, and call upon veterans
to organize and send to these
Headquarters for necessary
papers to form Camps, as they
can join up to date of the Re
union.
Very truly,
Geo. Moorman,
Adjutant General & Chief of
Staff.
There is Great Excitement
Among Rheumatic sufferers
over the new remedy that is
being put up in New York City.
It is claimed there has never
been a case where it has failed
to cure. It is called Dr. Drum-
mond’s Lightning Remtdy for
Rheumatism and is sold for $5
a bottle. The remedy is cer
tainly making for itself a world
wide reputation as the country
is full of Rheumatism. The
manufacturers sell it on an ab
solute guarantee, and offer to
refund the money in any case
where it does not work a per
fect cure. Sent by express pre

It seems the owners of Dr.
Drummond's Lightning Remedy
for Rheumatism have a Bo
nanza as their remedy has never
known to fail in a single case.
There is certainly room in the
market for a medicine that will
do what they claim for this
wonderful preparation. A 1 -
