The Easter Spirit. The following beautiful poem b) the principal of Kingstree High anc Graded school appeared in the las issue of the Charleston Sunday News It is the old, old story Of suffering, death and life, Of love o'ercoming hatred. And perseverance, strife. The world's great sin of doubting, The Saviour's agony. To us each day are given, In everything we see. The planting of the flower? 'Tis such a simple thing; Yet to each one a semblance Of Easter it must bring. The 8injnng of the birdhngs Recalls the burs ted shells; The budding of the oak tree Alone the story tells. Bright sunshine after shadow, A rainbow in the sky, Reminds us of God's promise: "Alan shall not surely die." The waning moon assures us There follows close a new; And after night's brief darkness A glorious mom we view. The balmy breath of springtime Dispels the winter's gloom; We know 'twas then our Savior Arose from out the tomb. 'Tis then our hearts are fullest With love for all mankind; Somehow it seems more easy True happiness to find. It is the old, old story Of love so great and true Impressed upon us daily As only God can do. ?Miss Laura Cramer SOUTH CAROLINA GOVERNORS list of Chief Executives of Pal metto State from 1670 to 1915.

It has been a custom at the Presbyterian college for the past few vears to n )ld an annual high school I declaimers' contest under tne auspicies of the college, to which every high school in the State is entitled to send a representative. There were about forty represented last year and this year individual invitations] have been sent to quite a number of schools, but not near so many have been thus invited as we desire to have present. Previous to this year there has been only one schoc; represented from Williamsburg, but it is the hope of the boys who are here from the home county to have several others represented this year. The contest this spring will be held April 16. Each speaker may use either a speech written by himself, or that of another person, the object of the contest being the encouragement of correct delivery rather than the composition of an oration. Three medals are offered by the faculty and students jointly, = first prize being worth $15, second $10 and third $5. As guests of the B college the representatives are ac- | corded free entertainment, and everyone tries to make their visit an ( enjoyable occasion for all, 1 On account of the number of representatives usually present a 1 preliminary contest is held the even- || ing before, at which time ten are J ^ chosen to enter the finals the next | evening. The preliminary contest | will therefore be held this year | Thursday evening before the finals [11 Friday evening. 1 We might mention here that the I ^ only representative from Williams- I burg last year won first place in the 11 preliminary, although he did not do I so well in the finals. However, we IS want to see someone do better this afl year, and carry off first, honor at W the finals. Thanking you for your 1 kindness, M we are, m.
