I find so much of goodness still;
In men whom men pronounce divine.
I find so much of sin and blot?
I hesitate to draw the line
Between the two?where God has not."

pronouncement, "The gamblers

After all, the question of whether
or not the Democratic party should
fulfill its platform pledge as to free
tolls resolves itself into the worldold
maxim: "Make a bad bargain,
stick to it." The Democratic platform
was promulgated as a declaration
of its policies and the free tolls
was one plank thereof. If no chain
is stronger than the weakest link,
how can a political platform he
.stronger than its weakest plank?

ed?The Interest
The Kingstree High and Graded
school closed its 1913-14 session with
appropriate exercises at the school
auditorium Monday night before a
capacity audience.
So far as actual class work was
concerned, faculty and pupils laid
aside text-books Friday morning,
when the final examinations were
brought to a finish, and immediately
launched into the exercises that
were to mark the closing of another
successful session.
An interesting and instructive
programme had been arranged and
each teacher and pupil who had been
j selected to contribute to the entertainment
of the public was ready
for the work and seemed to go into
' it with a whole-heartedness that

ently there was not a hitch in the
programme of exercises from start
; to finish, and to say that every recital,
s?mg or piano selection was not
heartily enjoyed and appreciated
would be to call down upon ourselves
the just and severest criticism of
all who took part or attended and
! listened with such profound interest
i that at the close it elicited an expression
of appreciative thanks from
| the superintendent, Prof Switten-1
berg. We believe that the patrons j
of the school, the board of trustees !
and the community at large have
just experienced another occasion in
the history of their school wherein
they have the right to feel a keener
sense of interest and pride than ever

WEE NEE LITERARY SOCIETY.
There can be no more useful or
beneficial factor in a school than its,
literary society. The Wee Nee Literary
society of the Kingstree High ,
school was organized during the fall j
term in 1906 and ever since has i
largely contributed to the high moral |
and intellectual status of the school.
The officers of the society during the
session just closed were: Miss Rubie j
Thorn, president; McBride McFad- j
den,vice president; Miss Leora Gam-1
ble, treasurer; Miss Fannie Vause, j
secretary; Miss Emma Brockinton,;
literary editor; Heyward Brockin- j
ton, critic. Throughout the session '
the society has been in a flourishing
condition, as is well evidenced by the
j excellent papers read and the able
arguments in debate at its eighth
annual public meeting last Friday
evening. It has provided the members
with a wider scope of useful information
and given themavalua-i
ble insight into many important
problems as they arose from time to ;
time during the past nine months.
The following is the programme of
the exercises as carried out at the
society's public meeting in the school
auditorium Friday night:

The musie.the papers read and the '
debate were all well rendered. There i
was some difficulty experienced by
the judges in reaching a decision as
to whether the honor belonged to ;
1 the affirmative or the negative side, j
! and.perhaps, only for the almost fixled
conviction of one of the judges
that education takes precedence over
'every other power in the world, the
decision would have l>een awarded in ;
i favor of the affirmative, for the arguments
presented by Miss Gamble
and Hillis Phillips were well pre-;
; pared and set forth strong points in
( favor of their contention.
THE BACCALAUREATE SERMON.
At 10 o'clock Sunday morning be-!
gan an interesting programme of
j closing exercises of the Kingstree
High school,when Rev W E Thayer,
ja Baptist minister of Chester,preach-_

ed the baccalaureate sermon. The
spacious auditorium was filled to its
capacity with an interested audience,
and all present seemed to have been
delighted with the message from the
gifted divine.
The services were opened by the
singing of the Doxology, after
which Rev D A Phillips offered an
appropriate prayer. Following this
Rev W E Hurt read the Scriptural
lesson from the 11th and 12th chapters
of Hebrews, which formed the
nucleus of the sermon that followed
the singing of a hymn by the audience.
Special music, under the direction
of the accomplished teacher, Miss
Estelle Campbell, was beautifully
rendered by a choir composed of
Misses Selma and Rubie Thorn,
Elma Hinds and Mrs L W Gilland;
u d XT o?: u..~u VT
iuesaia i\ opciguci, uugu Hitvukchen,
P H Stoll and Percy Hutson.
A violin solo by Mr David Silverman,
with piano accompaniment by
Miss Campbell, was sweetly rendered
and especially enjoyed by all
music lovers present.
Mr Thayer's sermon was an able
exposition and perhaps one of the
most appropriate discourses of its
kind ever heard in Kingstree.
The preacher's subject was "The
Successful Race," and he took his
'text from Herews, Chapter 12,
verse 1: "Wherefore seeing we also
are compassed about with so great
a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside
every weight, and the sin which
doth so easily beset us. and let us
run with patience the race that is
set before us."
With a flow of beautiful rhetoric,
so simple that the least school child
could easily understand, the speaker
held his hearers spell-bound, as he
applied the words of his text to the
Atrnrvrlou nrnKlDmc ujKl'nh hpQpf
young men and young women
ofttimes, when they go out into the
world to take up the responsibilities
of life.
The speaker illustrated his discourse
by likening the young graduates
to the great athletes of ancient
times, when it was customary for
them to practice for their running
and jumping events with weights in
their hands or cumbersome robes
about their bodies.which thev would
throw off when they entered the
arena for the great prize contest,
that their bodies might be lightened
and their agility increased.
Mr Thayer sub-divided his subject
into three headings: "Inspiration,"
"Preparation", and "Aspiration,"
which were essentials to success in
the great race of life. "And make
straight paths for your feet lest
that which is lame be turned out of
the way; follow peace with all men
and holiness, without which no man
shall see the Lord," he said in closing.
At 8:30 o'clock Sunday evening
Mr Thayer preached to a large audience
in the Baptist church, taking
his text from the sixth chapter of
St Luke. Again his hearers listened
with the closest interest to a
powerful discourse of the truths set
forth in the text.
MUSIC RECITAL MONDAY MORNING.
For some time it was expected
that Congressman Lever would address
the school Monday mormng,
but at a late hour word was received
from the Congressman stating
that he would be unable to keep
his engagement, so the faculty arranged
for a music recital by the
pupils at 10 o'clock Monday morning,
and a highly enjoyable programme
was carried out.
GRADUATING EXERCISES.
The one time in each of their lives
that had been looked forward to
with anxious hearts, through a period
of ten long, weary years had at
last arrived, and on this beautiful
Monday night in May ten pupils,
splendid looking specimens of Kingstree's
youth, sat upon the rostrum
facing an audience of six hundred or
more people, who had gathered in
