CLOSING EXERCISES UNION HIGH SCHOOL BELATED BUT INTERESTING ACCOUNT OF COMMENCEMENT OF A MODEL RURAL SCHOOL. * ? Rome, June 8:?The exercises of the eighth annual commencement of Union High school began Fridayevening,May 26,with the graduating recital of Misses Emily Brockinton, Florence Julia Hemingway, Emmie Snow and Louise Wilson. These four young ladies had completed the five years' course in piano ottered Dy the school and were awarded a certificate from this department. They had been under the direction of Miss Nettie Huff for the session and reflected credit upon all of their teachers in the music department. The sermon was preached by Rev E S Jones of Georgetown, who also preached Sunday night. Both sermons were excellent and exceedingly appropriate. Mr Jones speaks with ease and grace. As judges in the oratorical contest held Monday evening,an account of which has already appeared in The Record, we were pleased to have A C Hinds, Esq, and Mr R N Speigner of Kingstree and Prof Ritter of Andrews. Mr Hinds made an appropriate talk in delivering the medal *" ???"? man orha won the UriZe. w uic j MI?M ?? ?? ?? ?? ~ c Prof Ritter delivered the medal to the successful young lady in a graceful manner, accentuated by several - well-chosen thoughts.

Lena Keed, Nettie Huff, Kate Eichelberger and Tattie Caughman. All the teachers return except Miss Mildred Cunningham.whodid not apply. of her own choice preferring work elsewhere. We are very sorry to give Miss Cunningham up; she is a model teacher and young woman? a great addition to any community which secures her services. Thus closed what has been, perhaps,the most successful year of the j school,taking everything into consideration. The enrollment is 158, with with 3U in the high school. Much permanent improvement has been made and several new ideas are being developed during the summer. More than twelve units work was accomplished, which places this school in the rank with 28 schools in the State which made twelve or more and leaves this the only rural school in South Carolina making this record. The patrons and trustees are pleased with the record and are giving their support as loyally as ever. Watch Union grow! FARMERS* UNION MEETINGS. "In 3CBCUIUC VI n|*|>vwiw*.a???

Presentation of Scholarship Medal ?Hon B B Chandler. More than five hundred people were present, overflowing the large auditorium. The literary address by Hon F B Gary was strongly practical and encouragirg. Pity 'tis that there are not more such citizens as he. We need such nobility and strength of character to-day manifold. The graduates were: Misses Florence Emily Brockinton, Amy Louise Eaddy, Annie Belle Moyd, Florence Julia Hemingway, Emmie Snow, Louise Wilson and Mr A H Haddock. Hon B B Chandler made an excellent talk preparatory to awarding scholarship medal. He is chairman of the board of trustees and the best in the State, we are sure. No trustee is more interested in his school than is Mr Chandler. The excess of the school is largely due tonis personal supervision. Miss Willie Snow, eighth grade, made an average of 98.739 and was awarded the scholarship medal. In three hieh school grades the fol lowing made marks deserving special mention: Eighth Grade. Miss Willie Snow 98.739 Marie Eaddy 98.738 " Annie Wilson 98.7 Ninth Grade. Charlie Thomas 97.91 J Miss Lillie Johnson 96.61 " Laura Rhem 9^.89 " Alice Chandler 94.85 Tenth Grade. Miss Louise Wilson 98.707 " Amy Eaddy 98.26 " Florence Hemingway 97.81 V. m# BENSON BREEZES. Capricious Rain-tall- Bad Luck with S\vine--"Ti jers" Abroad. Benson. .June 12?The rain has come and gone. l>ut the down-fall was not evenly distributed over the country. Not infrequently neighbors living within t vo miles of each i other, the one got enough to thoroughly wet theearta; the other just enough to lay the dust. However, the moisture was si fficient to bring up the cotton that had been planted. Cotton that got up early in the spring is clear of grass and is growing nicely. With 35,000,000 acres planted what about the price of the fleecy staple next fall?' (and South Carolina's average about the smallest?Ed The Record). Messrs R S Tisdale and W T Phillips had some very fine hogs of the Essex blood feeding in a field where wheat and oats had been planted. After the grain was harvested the swine were free to glean where they would, but a calamity befell those belonging to Mr Tisdale and seven head died without warning. The very next day Mr Phillips also had the same number, seven, to die. Mr Tisdale's hogs stole away from home and went into Mr Phillips's field to eat wheat and died, but the peculiar co-incidence is that seven of each man's herd should die, leaving the others apparently doing well. The question arises, is wheat a good diet for hogs? The first symptom of the sickness was to heave several times and then vomit, when they would become perfectly helpless and soon die. They were dosed with Epsom salts and black-draught (stock medicine) to relieve them,but it failed. Some one thought perhaps it was an attack of acute indigestion. This might or might not have been the case; yet it forces a smile when one tries to conceive of a hog's having indigestion, acute or otherwise. Mr and Mrs W S Grayson have Koon iricifintr rplntivps hprp for a short time. "Mrs Sallie" hadn't been here in five years. She says the development in this section, her old home, is simply marvelous. She returned last week to her daughter's home in Charleston, where they are now living.
