THE END OF THE WEEKLY
GRIND, then Monday morning,
and nothing saved means YOU
ARE IN A RUT. GET OUT OF
THE RUT.
NERO FIDDLED WHILE
ROME WAS BURNING and this
was criminal indifference. Are
you "fiddling" with every dollar
that comes to your hand? Think
it over right now-start a Bank
investment, which, added to from
?me to time, will give you an in*
W pendent old age.
IF YOU CAN'T $TOP spending
your loose change, let us help
you rid yourself of this habit,
which will bring a blight upon
your old age.
THE LAW OF FINANCIAL
SUCCESS is to start and never
stop starting. Save $5 this week
and get it working somewhere?
k get a bunch of 5's working?by
fc, and by you can sit in the rocking
chair and watch 'em all work.

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.

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. Dr S C Mitchell, President
of the State university, will
deliver the literary address. Miss
Stackley is a member of the graduating
class of twenty-five members
and is "Historian" of the class.

At the commencement exercises at
the State Medical College, Charleston,

About a month or so."

And growing softer yet.

STOPPED THE LEAK. |i
Daring and Ingonioua Work by a Nor* jV
wogian Skipper. 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. But he was drawn up
in good time, the bag was repaired,
the wortf continued, and the leak
topped.?Harper's.

UNWRITTEN LAW INVOKED.
lohnnle Cooper la Jail Clurgei
with Murder of Nathaniel Cooper
Coroner Gamble held an inquest
Monday over the remains of Nahaniel
Cooper, colored, who was
tilled at his home near Cades Sattrday
night. 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. Sunday, he succumbed
jo his wounds.
