KINGSTREE SCHOOL
CLOSED THIS WEEK
VERY INTERESTING EXERCISES ATTRACT
LARGE AUDIENCES FROM
BEGINNING TO END.
With the distribution of promotion
caids to the pupils Tuesday
morning, the 1916-17 session of the
Kingstree High and Graded school
was concluded, and with the usual
regrets (?) teachers and scholars laid
aside their tasks at this temple of
learning until September next.
The exercises throughout were
admirably rendered, and the large
audiences derived mucn pleasure and
profit therefrom. The first number
on the programme, which was carried
out as published in the last issue
of The Record, was held Friday
night, being an expression contest
among the girls and an oratorical
contest among the boys. The prizes
in each case were a blue ribbon for
the best paper and a white ribbon
for the second best. Both in matter!
and delivery, all the papers were excellent,and
the judges,J D O'Bryan,
Esq, Mr Sam P Stackley and Mrs T
S Hemingway, awarded "the blue
ribbon among the girls to Maud Allene
Kinder,whose article was, "Uncle
Remus at the Telephone." Annie
Frierson won the white ribbon on
"Uncle Remus'Church Experience."
Among the boys. Ruskin McConnell
was given the blue ribbon on "The
High Water Mark of the Civil War"
and the white ribbon went to Hubert
Speigner, whose subject was, "Excerpts
from President Wilson's
Speech to Congress." Mr O'Bryan
delivered the decision of the judges.
At 11 o'clock Sunday morning the
auditorium was crowded, many coming
from a distance. The sermon
was preached by Rev J H Graves of
Camden and pleased all his hearers.
Speaking from the words, "Buy the
truth and sell it not," he vigorously
attacked certain popular fallacies,
u?i. :? n*:?
ursi. umiiuiK ssupcrsLiLiuu, nmcu uc
showed to be utterly inconsistent
with belief in Providence. He then
demolished the theory that education
alone promotes morality, showing J
that at one time South Carolina, j
with 42 per cent of illiteracy, had
23 criminals to every 100,000 inhabitants,
while Massachusetts, with 12
per cent of illiteracy, had 123 criminals
to every 100,000 of population.
He made a stirring plea for reading
the Bible in all public schools. He
referred to Gen Robert E Lee's refusal
to accept $50,000 for the use
of his name as president of a New
?ork insurance company, saying,"A
man who accepts that for which he
renders no justequivalentisa thief."
He urged his hearers to follow the
same high standard. Mr Graves expressed
deep appreciation of the numerous
attentions the Kipgstree people
are showing the Camden troops
guarding the railroad bridge below
town.
Rev A E Riemer made the invocation
and read a selection from the
fifth chapter of St Matthew, Rev D
A Phillips offered prayer and Mr

A selected choir from the various
churches of the town rendered sweet
music.
Monday evening the people of the
community enjoyed an intellectual
feast they will long remember. This
was the address of Dr W S Currell,
president of the University of South
Carolina. He possesses a delightful
voice and charming personality and
held the undivided attention of his
auditors to the end. Remarkably
adaptable.he was listened to with interest
and profit by the youngest
child and the oldest adult and all in
between. His sparkling wit added
greatly to the effectiveness ol the
solid truths so well presented. Dr
Currell's return to Kingstree at any
time will be warmly welcomed.
The other features of the evening
were also very interesting, especially
the drills by the little ones, wnose
proficiency reflected the highest credit
upon themselves and their faithful
teachers.
The faculty and pupils of this
school have finished a year of good
work but hope to make 1917-18 the
best ever known.
The following pupils have been
present and on time every day for
the year just ended:
Grade 1?Margaret Burgess,Steele
Singleton, Mildred Miller.
Grade 3?Elizabeth Swails, W E
Nesmith.
Grade 4?Dick Blakely.

Raising More Grain in Williamsburg.
Mr W H Carr, of the Kingstree
Hdwe Co,tells us that ne nas aireaay
sold and put up for farmers in this
section three big binders, which the
purchasers will operate in harvesting
their wheat and oats crop this season.
Heretofore this type of harvesting
J machinery was in very little demand
because so few of our farmers planted
enough small grain to justify the
purchase of binders.
We are heartily in favor of more
grain raising; first, more wheat, second,more
oats, and third,more rye,
because the food and commercial value
of the rye straw is much lower
than that of wheat and oats. There
is nothing much better than a rousing
big wheat straw stack to turn
your cattle to in the winter when
there is nothing in the pastures for
them to feed upon.
