S. C. College Centennial.
1 The South Carolina college
has set apart the eighth, ninth
* and tenth of January, 1903, for
her centenial celebration. The
. general assembly chartered the
South Carolina college in 1801,
and her doors were thrown open
. to the youth of the State on
* January 10, 1805.
* It has continued in successful
operation until the present, ex,
cept during the two last years
of the war, during which time
its buildings were used by the
Confederate Government as a
hospital.
. As the aim of the college is to
train a body of gentlemen in
. knowledge, virtue, religion and
refinement it is run entirely on
the honor system and the
awards and punishment of the
institution are addressed to the
students' sense of duty and
principles of honor and shame.
For this reason her educational
work of one hundred years has
been steadily wafting man}' of
South Carolina's noblest young
men to the pinnacle of success.
The South Carolina college is
proud of every one of her alumni
and every living alumnus should
1 consider it a privilege to visit
: the old college at the celebration
of her one hundredth birthday.
s Williamsburg has always been
j famous for her educational advancement
and has played a
conspicuous part in the workings
of this college. In the first
class of only a few members she
furnished one, Mr James Posteli.
She furnishes one of the members
of our faculty at present,
Prof. George McCutchen,and for
j the last few years she has surpassed
many other counties in
the numoer of students which
she has sent to the different colleges
of the State, giving Carolina
a fair proportion.
It is sincerely hoped that
every alumnus in Williamsburg
county will avail himself of the .
opportunity of being- present at
the centennial exercises of their
beloved alma mater.
The following is a list of
Williamsburg's alumni:

The Lyceum.
Tne second lyceum attraction
at the school auditorium Tuesday
night was high class in
every respect. Both Mr Seigel
and Mr Myer are artists and are
masters of their work. Rag

cue iJLUi iix men xepeiiuiy tiuu
those who went out expecting
this kind were disappointed.
Those, however, who wanted to
hear the productions of artists
got what they expected and
were delighted with the performance.
The work of Mr Seigel on the
on the mandolin was pronounced
by those who are capable of
judging as masterly and Mr
Meyer immensely pleased the
lovers of music with his original
work on the piano.
The attendance was not what
it should have been. The weather
was not the best but was not
sufficiently inclement to preclude
attendance. The local management
went to considerable expense
without hope of reward
other than giving Kingstree
amusement, and for our people
not to patronize shows a lack of
the right spirit. A very good
crowd, however, was present,
and quite a number from out of
town. All in all, everything
passed off-to the satisfaction of v
the management.
? The
next attraction will be
Mrs Alice Dole on December
22nd.
