Class-Day and Graduating Exercisesal Bnck Hill Three score and five "sweet girl graduates" were seated on the stage at Winthrop Tuesday morning when the hour arrived for the class day ex. ercises. The graduating class was in control of the situation and the pretty exercises entertained the large gathering of friends from the city and from different sections of the State: for the parents of many of the young ladies were present to rejoice with their daughters in this the close of a busy but happy school life.

Miss Mary Elizabeth Smith of Anderson read the class history, a history of which each of the 65 is proud, and the saddest page in which is the last. Miss Inez Fullenwider Folder of Clarendon read the class poem, a comnosition which is creditable to her na tive talents well trained. Miss Jeanie D. Sprunt rendered a 1 piano solo in a delightfully easy and intelligent manner, its sprigi.*.?ness adding to the effect of the last will and testiament of the class of 1900. This instrument was not so doleful after all. as it merely disposed of the whims and oddities and other chattels of the seniors, bestowing them upon those succeeding to the dignity of the graduating class. This was devised by the class lawyer, Miss Alice McRae of Marion. The class prophecy followed, and each of the sweet graduates blushed, moved uneasily in her chair and fanned vigorously as the prophet. Miss Rosa Lee Melton, drew aside the curtain of futurity and pictured the fancied destiny in this life of each of her associates.' Miss Scaife then feelingly bade the class adieu and dismissed the audience South Carolina New?. Gov.

While a man named Glover and Nathan Brown, plowmen or.-the farm of Mr. G. H. Cornelson, near Orangeburg, were riding to the field a dispute arose over some trivial matter. Hot words ensued and without stopping the mules they were riding it is supposed an altercation occurred when Glover whipped out his pistol and shot Brown, inflicting a mortal wound, of which Brown died soon after. The officers were at once notified and the coroner with the sheriff repaired to the place of the homicide and found that the slayer of Brown had fled. Sheriff Dukes, however, lost no time in getting upon his trail and finally arretted Glover after a lively chasa. THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY The South.
