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.

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.

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.

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.
We hear it rumored that the
"blind tigers" are becoming a little
m:>re venturesome stalking through
the country some distance from
their dens. W E S.
