The New York World's tribute
to "Stonewall'' Jackson has been
reproduced by a number of Southern
newspapers, but none of
them seem to have noticed the
error The World fell into in saying
that "Lee'' pointed to him
(Jackson) "standing like a stone
wall." As a matter of history,
it was Bee,- of South Carolina,
who pointing hfs sword exclaimed:
"There is Jackson standing
like a stone wall." And thenceforth
Thomas Jonathan Jackson,
sometime professor in a military
college, was known to fame and
to immortality as "Stonewall
Jackson."

In this connection it is but fair to 11

their thanks for the prizes they will

My motto for making the year
1913 the banner year of my life is as
follows: I propose to be a kind and
obedient son, an energetic,affectionate
and worthy brother, an energetic
and obedient pupil. I must attend
all religious services I possibly
can with a desire of deriving all the
good I can. I further resolve that
I will be kind and affectionate to my
nlavrmaioe anH nrnnnintanops. and
will try to follow the golden rule,
"Do unto others as you would have ,
them do unto you." ,
I am a pupil of Cades school.
Bethea McElveen.
I have made up my mind to try to j
be more helpful both to myself and <
others in 1913 than I have been in |
the past. I have made some new rules
that I am going to try to follow.
I am going to obey my parents ]
better than I have in the past.
I am going to study harder and ,
trv and recite better lessons. ,
I am going to be more patient and <

also to my playmates; to be more ]
agreeable and cheerful and try and ]
bring more happiness to others if I
can. i
I will try to attend church and |
Sunday-school as often as I can and <
remember what the preacher says. ]
I will not waste any time to play
until I have learned my lessons and
done any work at home that 1 am
told to do.
I am going to read as many good
books as I can.
I will try to be a better pupil, a
better sister and a better playmate
than I have ever been before.
I am a pupil in the 4th grade of
Kingstree Graded school.

Closing of the Boyd School. I
The closing exercises of the Boyd
school,near Salters.were held Friday
afternoon, May 9, in the grove of
pine and oak in front of the ideally
situated school house near the an
A?1 1 Tk? T XT \XT C
cesirai nuuie ui uta i r* ouu t? o
Boyd. The joy of the occasion was
shadowed by the departure of the
much loved teacher, Miss Minnie
McFadden, and we all hope she will
return to us when school starts
again. The grounds were tastefully i
decorated with moss, ferns and
palms, and a rustic little house help- 1
ed to make the scene attractive.
The principal feature of the festivities
was the May-pole,dancing around i
which sixteen little boys and girls
joined. The latter.all in white.added 1
much to the picturesqueness of the
scene.
As the guests began to assemble,
band pieces were played, and at 6
o'clock sharp the May Queen, Miss
Carrie Blackwell, came forward and i
gracefully took her seat upon the l
throne, which was embowered in I
roses. Ivey Hall welcomed the pretty
queen and crowned her. The rest
of her subjects came forward in the
following order and presented her ]
with emblems of love: Miss Lottie 1
Guess handed her the scepter, Clarence
Boyd the cross of faith, Laura 1
Rnvrl tVio onnhnr r?f Vinnp Rnh#?rt
Brunson the rose of innocence, Sue j,
Blackwell the flowers of spring,
Laird Montgomery summer wheat,
Glennie Brunson basket of autumn
fruit,Eliphalet Brunson winter ever- (
green, Grace Blackwell bright eyes, \
Fempie Guess ivy green, Dorothy <
Boyd as sunshine,Eddy Montgomery ]
as page, Tom Blackwell as mischief
and William Boyd as gallantry. ]
When all the loyal subjects had made ,
their bows the queen led them to 1
the May-pole and danced, each with 1
a streamer of red, blue and yellow j
in his or her hand. As they danced ]
they sang the "Mountain Maid's Invitation".
The festivities were con-11
eluded with the song, "Annie Lau- j J
rie", in pantomime. Refreshments j
were then served,and as the sun was |
slowly sinking from view the guests I
bade each other good-bye.
Besides the patrons of the school
the following were among the visitors:
Mrs Frank Montgomery, Mary
Lena Montgomery and Mrs Bert
Blackwell of Greelyville, Mrs M McMillan
and Mrs Habenicht,from near
Greelyville, Mrs W N Clarkson and
i
;hildren of Heinemann, Mrs B Doar

The Government's investigation of

declares the results of the public
health service observations so far
"do not justify the confidence in th?
remedy which has been inspired by
wide-spread publicity."

Wilmot L Harris, who had been
postmaster at Charleston for a number
of years, died last Tuesday on
the Clyde Steamship Mohawk,on his
way to New York for medical treatment.
Mr Harris,although a Republican
in politics,was highly esteemed
by all classes of the people whom he
had served and his passing is generally
deplored.

Barnard B Evans, several times
candidate for Attorney General, has
been disbarred from the practice of
law by unanimous opinion of the
State supreme court, the basis of
disbarment being misappropriation
of funds and other abuses of privileges
of the bar. Mr Evans has the
privilege,at the end of two years, of
applying for re-instatement upon
satisfactory proof that he has abstained
from intoxicating liquors
within that length of time.

by Speaker Clark for violating
the privileges of the House.
When brought in by the sergeant-atarms
Glover read an apology, saying
his act was committed under great
stress of feeling and that he did not
know that he was affronting t^be
House.
