THE INSTITUTE COMMENCEMENT.
? Ciosing Exercises of a Successful Year's
Work-Young Ladies Receive Diplo?
mas.
The Annual Commencement and
graduating exercises of the Sumter
Institute were held in the Institute
hall, June 3d. S p. m., and a successful
year's work was brought to a close, i
The hall was filled with the friends j
and patrons of the school, many of
whom had come from other counties !
to be present and participate in this j
pleasant and enjoyable occasion, to
which they look forward each year as
a meeting place of old friends and
schoolmates.
The exercises were not less pleasant
and profitable than in former years
and the graduates were as sweet and j
channing to look upon as any who
have heretofore received diplomas
from this institution.
Kev W. F. Gregg, of Manning, who
delivered the literary . address,
not only held the attention of
the large and intelligent audience
but won their sympathy in the line
of thought he followed in the develop?
ment of his theme.
The diplomas were delivered to the
graduates by Maj. H. F. Wilson who
made a happy and pleasant address.
The following young ladies compos?
ed the graduating class :
Misses Bessie Hughson, Virginia
Cooper, Mary Cooper, Jennie Richards
Minnie Scarborough, and Hattie
Hussey.
The programme of the evening was
as follows :

GRADED SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT.
The closing exercises of the Wash- j
ington Street Graded School were
held in the Opera House last Thurs?
day night.
This year has been the most success?
ful in point of attendance that the
city schools have ever had, and the
standard of scholarship required has
been higher than heretofore. Each
year there is an advance and the
schools are now the equal in standard
and thoroughness of any in the State
and the point has been reached where
a graduate of the city schools is pre?
pared either to take up his or her life
work equipped with a thorough com?
mon school education, or to enter col?
lege fully prepared to successfully pur?
sue the course of study leading to a
college degree.
The exercises last evening were of
marked interest to all present, and the
very large audience, that filled the
Opera House until standing room
could scarcely be obtained by the late
arrivals, showed that the schools hold
a high place in the esteem of the com?
munity.
The essays by the members of the
graduating class were excellent-the
style was gxxxi and the delivery evi?
denced careful preparation and train?
ing. There was no declaimers' con?
test for a medal this year because
there was but one boy-Ladson Boyle
-in the graduating class, but his de?
clamation was spirited und well wor?
thy of a medal, which he would doubt?
less have won had there been a con?
test
The singing by the school showed a
decided improvement over previous
years, and this was the result of the
systematic course of study and train
. ing in vocal music that the school has
pursued during the past year under
the direction of Mr. Rambo.
The music which was furnished by
the Second Regiment Band and the
male quartette contributed largely to?
ward the entertainment of the audi?
ence and made a pleasant occasion
more enjoyable.

LINCOLN SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT.
The closing exercises of the Lincoln
i Graded School, colored, were held in
the Opera House Friday night with a
large audience, composed of both
white and colored people, present.
The exercises were well arranged
and successfully carried ont under the
direction of Principal W. T. Andrews,
under whose management the school
has had a very successful year.
The colored people are displaying
more and more interest each year in
the cause of education and the work
that is done in the class room is more
thorough each year and the pupils
seem to have a fuller and better ap
preciaitcn of the advantage of obtain?
ing an eduction, and they are more
di?ignt in pursuing their studies and
more regular in attendance. The ex?
ercises last night show that good work
is being done in the Lincoln School

present failed to enjoy the entertain?
ment. The programme was as follows :

A TOUCHING INCIDENT OF THE
CHATTANOOGA EXERCISES.
The following description of a touch?
ing incident of the Chattanooga cere?
monies, was written by Col. Blanding
to one of bis grand-daughters who
kindly sent it to us for publication :
One of the most appropriate and
pathetic incidents at Chickamauga
happened at the beginning of the cere?
mony of unveiling the monument. It
was truly typical of the two leading
thoughts of the occasion-war, peace.
General Capers, a noble speimen of
the South Carolina soldier of 1863,
still full of the fire of patriotism, had
reached the last clause of his address ;
up to this moment he was the repre?
sentative of war and carnage, of
"man's inhumanity to man." But
one thing more was to be said or
done. He called for the four little girls
who were to unveil the monument.
The second brought forward was little
Ethel, granddaughter of General
Walker in command of the South Car?
olina U. C. Veterans, who had been
in battles from Gettysburg to Galves?
ton. She was as bright as one of the
gay flowers which bedecked the bat?
tlefield. Her childish timidity made
her shrink back till she was hidden
by two of her compeers : and as she
could not be seen, Colonel Holmes
A. A. G. pulled a chair to stand her
on it, when Bishop Capers, prompted
by his big but tender heart, picked
her up in his stalwart arms and held
her aloft, the perfect type of peace
and purity ; and he himself, now con?
verted from the stern warrior to the
man of God, proclaimed by actions
stronger than words, "Peace'on earth
good will toward men," "Of such is
the kingdom of heaven."
. The contrast was so impressive that
tears flowed freely down the brozed
cheeks of many old veterans. Would
that some poet had been present to
pen a companion picture to that, in
"The Peri at the Gates of Paradise,"
of the rough warrior, a prostrate peni?
tent, and the Peri flying to the Heaven's
Chancery with the muttered prayer
and demanding admittance as bearing
the gift most acceptable to the Goa
of mercy. Those of us who have fol?
lowed wars, now that the fires of
youth have burnt out, do most hate
bloodshed and love the peaceful fire?
side.
Standing, as we were, under the
shadow of a magnificent monument
to so many of the Confederate dead of
South Carolina and in view of grander
monuments to many more of the gal?
lant dead of our former Federal foes,
with the Stars and Bars and the
Stars and Stripes floating alx>ve our
heads, Gen. Capers representative
of the one and Gen Boynton of the
other, grasping hands, with the little
girl, the dove of peace, unconsciously
chanting the reclaim in words inaudi?
ble, but louder than could fall from
her cherub lips, "I come, I come! the
Angel of Peace to cement this bond
of brotherly love between former
foes. ' '
May the incident be truly typical of
the future of this great republic. I
sincerely hope that Col. Henderson
may prove as true a prophet as he is a
great orator, when in capping the
climax of soul-stirring thoughts, which
crowded each other so closely thrungli
his address, he declared, this mighty
reunited people can never again be
divided into hostile ranks the great
republic of States shall never again be
separated one from the other never?
more: nevermore!" J. I), li. j
Chattanooga, May -27, 1901.
Florence, June 6. "Not guilty"
was the verdict the jury on the Wilkes j
arson case reached this afternoon after j
remaining in ? hfi r room 20 minutes.
Judge Buchanan and the oilier court '<
officials wen.- summoned from their;
dinner to hear the verdict.
THE HORSE WAS ALL RIGHT.
What Was the Matter With the Firemen ?
The Greenville News gives the fol?
lowing as the official report of the
horse hose wagon race in Newberry,
shewing that the Delgar team made
the fastest run to the hydrant by 1*4
seconds and then lost the first ymze:
The distance run was 200 yards to
the hydrant, unreel not less than 28S
feet of hose and throw water within 50
feet of the 28S foot line, the butt or
pipe blowing off ruling out competi?
tors.
The record reads : Anderson 211?
seconds to the hydrant, 42i'? to water:
Palmetto of Columbia to hydrant 20
seconds, water 37^: Camden to hy?
drant 19 seconds, water 35: Sumter
l~}-2 seconds to hydrant, water 36 : Co?
lumbia Nos. 2 and; 3 shared the same
fate as Greenville, missing connection.
It seems that the horse did his part,
jerking the farm wagon to the hydrant
in prize winning time. What was the
matter with the boys that they could
not win with a margin of l^ seconds
in their favor?
Rail Substitute for Canals.
"Quietly, but with much energy,
there is being pushed along by some
English capitalists in southern Mex?
ico an enterprise with which they
hope, at least to a certain extent,
to forestall all the interoceanic canal
schemes," declares the Baltimore Sun
in a recently published editorial.
"The project, which is well under
wav?" according to our contemporary,
"involves the rebuilding, in the
most thorough and expensive manner,
of an old railway which shall connect
two Mexican ports, one on the Gulf
of Mexico and the other on the Pacific,
which are less than 200 miles apart,
At Salina Cruz and Coazacoalcos, the
respective termini, immense harbors,
with anchorage acommodations for the
largest vessels, are to be constructed.
The road has been leased for a pe?
riod of fifty years from the Mexican
government, which also has granted a
concession for ajjspecial line of steam?
ers in connection with the railway.
The London financiers, who are at the
head of the enterprise, have 2,000 men
now at work. The road, while only
192 miles in length, crosses 920
bridges, but those in charge claim
that its construction as well as that
of the harbors will be finished and
ready for business in from two to
three years. . On this basis the Lon?
don Mail undertakes to make it ap?
pear that this project for connecting
the gulf by rail with the Pacific is apt
to knok the likelihood for profit out
of any of the cancl schemes as a com?
mercial investment. The statement as
given is to the effect that the enter?
prise, on an estimated expenditure of
825,000,000, will represent an outlay
only one-eighth as great as either of
the talked-of canals can be built
for, and that their rail route will be
the shorter way from the gulf to the
Pacific port by more than 1,000
miles. "
London, June 5.-William C. Whit?
ney's Volodyovski won the derby to?
day in the record time of 2 minutes
and 40 4-5 seconds but came near los?
ing it. Volodyovski seemed to have
the race well in hand and the immense
crowd, which almost to a man had
backed the horse, joyfully yelled
"Volodyovski wins," when Morny
Cannon, on William III. came on with
a rush, challenged, and for a moment,
seemed to be in front, but Reiff, by
the vigorous use of his whip managed
to regain the lead and won by a quar?
ter of a length. William III. was
second and Veronese third.
Senator McLaurin, who pretends to
be so ready and anxious to avoid a
joint debate between himself and
Senator Tillman because of the turmoil
and distraction it would cause the
people, says he will make as many
speeches during the year as his health
will permit. It was not consideration
for the people that caused McLaurin
to back out, but he is afraid of Till?
man's pitch fork.-Orangeburg Times
and Democrat.
"I Killed Your Brother."
The late Edwin Booth and Lawrence
Barrett, says Success, were close per?
sonal friends of Stuart Robson. Dur?
ing the "off" season of affairs theatri?
cal Robson often entertained his dis?
tinguished colleagues at his summer
home on Long Island. On one such
occasion the trio after dinner took
their seats on the piazza, when Booth,
as usual, lapsed into silent reverie,
while the others began to relate stories
anent professional experiences. Final?
ly the conversation turned on "dead
heads." Robson had just finished an
especially funny tale about one of
these managerial bete noirs, when the
voice of Booth was heard, thus:
"I think, gentlemen,, that I'can
give you an anecdote about one of the
tribe that is probably unique."
"Let's hear it, Edwin, by all
means." said Barrett.
Booth fixed his somber eyes on the
sunset and began : "It was during the
first visit that I made to the south
after the close of the enrii war. We
were playing in a little town in Ala?
bama, ?n my mail one morning I
found a letter which ran something
like this:
"Dear Sir: My wife and self have
always been great admjjers of you.
We want to see you play very much,
but cannot afford to buy our tickets.
Will you please send us a couple of
seats? I am sure you will not refuse
this request when I tell you that I am
the United States soldier that shot
and killed your brother, who assassi?
nate President Lincoln.
"I investigated and found that the
man's statement was correct.**
Booth's auditors gasped as his tragic
tones boomed out the unexpected
sequel to the tale. There was a dead
silence for a full minute. Then Rob?
son managed to ask:
"What did you do. Edwin?"
"I sent him the tickets,"' answered
the actor, his eyes still fixed on the
glowing western horizon.'
Thegrewsome recital had been made
without a trace of emotion save for
a deepening of the gloom which mark?
ed Booth's facial expression from the
day of the tragedy. Robson told thc
writer that the actor unquestionably
realized that if his brother had reach?
ed Washington alive he would have
met a tt-rrible fate at the hands of j
a mob, and, hence he felt grateful to j
th?- man who, with a rifle ball, averted
this possibility l? j
SEABORG AIR LINE IN TROUBLE.
South Bound Division Piaced in
Hands of Receiver.
Columbia. June 6.-Mr. Wm B.
Melton yesterday afternoon qualified
as receiver for the South Bound Rail?
road. This action was unexpected and
the announcement will be a surprise
to the general public. The order of
Judge G. W. Gage appointing Mr.
Melton receiver was issued June 1st.
Mr. Melton at once took out a bond
for 820,000 and yesterday appeared be?
fore clerk of court. Mr. J. Frost
Walker, and assumed the duties^of the
receivership.
The attorneys for the South Bound
had made an appeal from Judge
Gage's former ruling in which he or?
dered that a receiver should be ap?
pointed. The appeal could not work
stay, as the lawyers say, unless the
court below agrees to the stay of the
order.
Mr. Melton immediately issued an
order in which he takes charge of the
entire South Bound road between
Camden and the Georgia line. This
order was dispatched to all agents
along the line as well as to the general
offices of the South Bound and Sea?
board.
Mr. Melton is one of the most prom?
inent lawyers in this city and has ac?
quired standing in business circles
through strict application to his prac?
tice.
London, June 7.-Andrew Carnegie
signed a deed todav transferring 810,

corporation bonds to trustees for the
benefit of the universities of Scotland.
The amount becomes immediately
available. The next installment of in?
terest can be used for the October
term.
Jamestown, X. D., June 6.-Snow
fell heavily today throughout the cen?
tral and northern portions of North
Dakota. A similar state of affairs is
reported in towns on the Jamestown
Northern railroad. The snow quickly
melted. The oldest inhabitants can?
not recall a similar occurrence in Jnne.
