We return thanks to Dr Carl B Epps. who graduates this year with the degrees of B S and Ph G, for a very handsome invitation to the eighty-third commencement exercises of the Medical College of South Carolina, to be held at the Academy of Music, Charleston, May . 28-dl. Others on the class roll from this section are: Samuel Liston McKnight, Scran ton, and Charlie Darn Smith, Lake City. We thank President D B Johnson for an invitation to the commencement exercises of Winthrop Normal and Industrial College Jnne 4-6, Rock Hill,S C. The invitation is very pretty anc! elaborate and we have only one word of criticism: with two or three first class engraving houses in this State why have this work done in Richmond, Virginia? When columns of commencement reports are to be published, strange to say, the State colleges don't go to Richmond, but deem the Carolina printers good enough. "It's a poor rule that doesn't work both ways." It always pleases us to know that the boys and girls of Williamsburg at home or abroad are achieving distinction in anv field of endeavor,and it is especially gratifying to hear of honors won by them at school or college. Therefore, it is with pride and pleasure that we note by the Columbia papers that Mr Arthur Brockinton, of this county, has been elected president of the Euphradian [literary society-of the State University,and Miss Grace Cooper,a daughter of our friend,Capt William Cooper, won third honors on scholarship at Columbia High school, Columbia. Miss Cooper is a member of the graduating class, comprising twentyfive members. five ladies were present, each of whom made a silver offering for missions. A handsome amount was realized. Delightful refreshments j were served and the occasion was highly enjoyed by all. Thi3 week, the paper being given; largely over to school commencements, there is not room for much local matter. We feel sure that our readers will not object to giving a plenty of space to the school closings. We snail be pleased to publish reports of the commencement exercises of any school in the county, if it comes in net later than Tuesday morning. i Miss Agnes Georgia Stackley has our sincere thanks for an invitation to the commencement exercises of Florence High school to be held Thursday evening.June 1, in the city auditorium.

U The moet striking method ever devised to stop a vessel's leak was t that which originated in the fertile a brain of a iSorwegian master 01 a t bark flying the Norwegian flag. This vessel, the Flora, bound for r Cape Town, experienced such ter- a rifle weather in the bay of Biscay g that she was obliged to lie to for t fix days. In the buffeting that the r bark received she sprang a leak and j began to take in water at the rate of six inches an hour. All hands 9 were kent at the pumps day and * night without intermission. As the s ernie r.Vvil, the l>ark drove before j it into calmer seas. s Tlie ee.e ain found that the leak ^ was ge'tiivjr worse, so he set his brains to work. lie constructed a * great waterproof canvas bag, six- s teen feet long, six feet in circum- s ference and two feet in diameter, j This he kept distended bv means j of hoops. A window of glass was . let into the side, five feet from the 1 bottom. The captain stepped into ( this bag, and by means of tackle i was drawn under the water so that j he could see the leak. The other , end of the bag being open and ^ above water, he had plenty of air and could communicate with his men. Two sleeves had been made in the bag, and were tied tightly about his wrists, so that he could work freely. j In this way, observing the leak j through the inserted window, the captain worked steadily while the phip was hove to. The vessel rolled ' in a heavy swell, and sometimes the < master found himself from 6even to j ten feet below the surface. At on*,j time the chafing of his feet against tio irnocnPfl culp wofp a hole in the beg and the water entered and covered him.

The verdict of the ury was: ' That the deceased, Nahaniel Cooper, came to his death >y a gun-shot wound inflicted by Johnnie Cooper.'' It being reported hat Johnnie Cooper had confessed he deed to several people, Sheriff Iraham arrested him on Sunday ,nd placed him in jail, where he rill await trial at the next term of ourt. Since his arrest, the negro lenies his guilt, we understand. From what can be learned, this eems to be a case of "Cherchez la emme" and the "unwritten law." Nathaniel Cooper, the dead man, is aid to have been tampering with he affections of Johnnie Cooper's awful spouse, and the latter, out of evenge, slew his rival. That is the dew taken by those most familiar vith the circumstances of the case. Saturday night, according to the estimony adduced,Johnnie Cooper, iter having made deadly threats hrents against some unnamed eneny, arnietl himself with a shotgun ind in company with another ne;ro, Mordecai McFadden, proceeded o Nathaniel Cooper's house. Ariving there, McFadden entered the I 'fi louse, where he found Nathaniel itting in the midst of his house- ^?v lold mending one of the children's hoes. The visitor informed Nathanel that Johnnie Cooper was outside tnd wanted to see him. He did not ell Nathaniel that Johnnie had his jun,but the former was slow to reipond to the messenger's Summons, i tnyway.so Johnnie slipped around o a convenient window,unlimbered 0 v; lis shooting iron and filled Nathanel Cooper's body with small shot at dose range, wounding him so severely that after lingering in great jain from 10 o'clock.Saturday night mtil 2 p. m.
