The singing was as magnificent as any aver heard In this city and the choir of the church, augmented by the voices of many sweet singers of other churches of this city and of other eitlen, was one of the best which has aver been gathered In this city. An on if the singers were several from Protestant churches. Mr. Peter Dsvlneau of Charleston had also been secured to strengthen the choir, his tame as a tenor being well known throughout the 8tate. The singing waa favorbly commented upon by many of thoae present, at the close of the services. Bishop Monaghan made his address short, but In It he told of much hich was Interesting in connection with St. Joseph's Academy. "The growth of Sumter is Indlssoiuhly con? nected with the growth of St. Joseph's Academy and the educational work of the Institution among the people of the city" said the speaker. He told his sudlence that there were among them grandmother* who had received their education at the academy, whose grandchildren ware attending the In? stitution at the present time. He told of the coming of the little band of staters from Charleston, which place thay left during the bombardment to avoid the shells which were being thrown Into the city. Thsy had come to.Bumter and aettled down In ths lit? tle building, now used as a kitchen. ? round which the present well known assgltutlon had been built, using the drat little house as a nucleus. Me complimented the Academy in glowing terms for the fine work which K had done and expressed a wish that it mlaht long continue to live In ths he.irta of the people and work among them. He told of the growth of Humur snce the coming of St Joseph's Acsdemy In 1863 and how It had helped the town in Its growth ami how the people of Sumter. of ev? ery faith and creed had nupportcd and aided the Inntltutton which had be? come so dear to them. Hm referred to the fact that Suni ter had not been burned by the fed? eral troo;>? under <?* n Potter, when thsy passed here, aa they had horned Columbia This was due to the fact that members of the sisterhood had been tn Gen Potter and with tears in their eyes begged his leniency, which st their entreaty he had granted Bishop Monaghan ? uldresg was listened to with the most profound sttentlon by his large audh n< e and seemed to strike a responsive chord In the breast of each one present.

It la seldom that a city of the size of Sumter has the pleasure of listen? ing to einging of mo high an order and of auch great variety as that which wa? heard at the Academy of Music Tuesday evening when St. Joseph's Academy celebrated its lii tleth anniversary in a Golden Ju? bilee Concert. The concert was large? ly attended by people of Sumter and the surrounding country and there were many visitors present from other points in the State who had come for this event. The chorus was not a large one. There were only fourteen female voices and seven male voices, but the music rendered was of high order of excellence and many were the fav? orable comments and excalamations of delight from members of the au? dience at the close of the concert. The appreciation of the audience was attested time and time again in the liberal applause which was rendered, many of the singers being called back by the encores of the lovers of music. The chorus waa trained by Mias A. E. Hanley, who had done her work thoroughly. Mias Hanley also rendered a solo near the close of the concert and was encored? again and again. Miss Carmel Hanley played the accompaniment to the singer on the pisno. The music from violins waa a feature which was also com? mented upon and which received many word hoquets. Mr. Devineau showed himself an artist of wonderful ability and the people of Sumter will always in future hail his coming here with the greatest delight. a welcome visitor. Sister Rone, One of the Founders of St. Joseph's Academy, Here to At? tend the Golden Jubilee. The presence of Sister Rose in at? tendance upon the Jubilee exercises of St. Joseph's Academy is a source of pleasure to hundreds of Sumter people and the alumnae of that Aca? demy. She was one of tho original founders of this institution coming to Sumter in the early sixties and re? maining through the administration of Slaters Mary Agatha, Mary Joseph, and Mary Loretta during eighteen years. Sister Rose was in charge of the culinary department all of those years. On Friday a number of the alumnae were heard to speak In loving terms of this kind hearted sister, and not a few introduced themselves after years of absence by approaching Sis? ter Rose and requesting her to give them a piece of her famous ginger bread and a cup of tea. Sister Host today expressed the great pleasure it affords her to be again In Sumter and with the good people of 8umter and her old "children". She is now retired from active service. Hundreda of Sumter people will be delighted to know that this well loved and kind hearted Sister of Mercy is here, and the best wishes of this community go out to her for a continuation of her long and useful career in the service of tho Lord, and in the interest of hu? manity.

Wednesday in the presence of a large audience of enthusiastic friends and j relatives of the pupils of the school. | The operetta "Cinderella in Flower land," beautifully staged, with elabor? ate decorations and costumes and excellently produced, was the chief feature of the evening on the pupila' part to entertain their friends. An address by Bishop Northrop was a Pleasing feature. His remarks were compliment* ry to the school and the pupils and were more in the nature of a bouquet of pleasant words for the audience than a set address. He closed his remarks by saying that I i he would reepat what Bishop Mon? aghan had said the day before in his sermon: "May Sumter grow, and !grow, and grow and grow?and may St. Joseph's grow, and grow, and grow and grow." Two graduute3 were presented di? plomas and crowns, Miss Margaret N'immcr of Manning and Miss Edna Jenkins of Oswego.

She paid a beautiful tri? bute to Bishop Northrop and Bishop Monaghan for the unflagging interest which they had shown in the institu? tion. She closed with a wish that her alma mater would live long to carry on the good work which it was now doing.

Wednesday evening. It was the story of Cinderella" and conveyed the moral which that story has had for many centuries. It was told in a new and pleasing way by the young ladles and little girls who had been well trained in their parts.

The decorations were elaborate and In good taste, the whole pre? senting a Com pig tn OSS and beauty of appearance such as is seldom seen.

Specialists Will Study Feasibility of Proposals lor Benefit of Agricultur? al Interest*. Washington, Juno 20.?A market news service for farmers and truck gardeners who raise perishable prod? ucts may be established by the re- j cently created office of markets of the department of agriculture. The feasl- j bility of such a service is to be studied by a specialist of the office who also will take up the best way of making statistics of demand and supply use? ful to the farmer. The prices received by producers, the cost of transporta- j tion and storage, profits and other useful elements will be investigated I in this connection. The service would be invaluable to truck producers of the Atlantic coast States. Other specialists, it was announced today, are to give attention to co operative organisations of producers and consumers and will assist in the j formation of new cooperative enter? prises. An expert in cooperative ac? counting will assist such organizations j to keep their books and records ef i fective, to establish cost systems and follow-up methods of handling goods. Specialists in transportation will as? sist producers to secure equitable freight rates and will discuss quest'ons of extending facilities, determination, i of rates, routing and other matters concerned with the speedy and cheap | 'moving of produce. The milling, mar keting and utilization of cotton seed ' will be given special attention. A Prediction of Prosperity and a Bid for Some Benefits. Cincinnati Enquirer. News from tho Southern States is all confirmatory of the continuance of their great growth; population in? creasing largely by additions from tho Northern and Western States, and also through the immigration from other countries. Business In every one of them is at a record, but none of those best in? formed as to conditions which affect trade have any idea that the maximum has nearly been attained. From Maryland all along the line ;>f the South until California Is reach? ed there are larger acreages now un? der cultivation than ever before in (Iiis country's history, and cotton and wheat crops never looked better for the time of the year than they do at ; this present hour. Manufacturing in the South spreads I with every season, and the develop? ments of Southern industries in cot ! ton and tobacco manufacturing, cot? ton seed and its various products, in kaolin, talc ami coal, in quarries, in machinery, shipbuilding. iron, steel and coke, sulphur, salt and in timber, lumber and various workings of wood, all go to increase in numbers the In? dustrial classes of the South. Thes3 give to that section the profits ac? cruing to the labor which turns nat ! ral resources and raw materials into the accumulating wealth of thut sec? tion. The fertility of tho soil assures of long continued production and laigc crops, while the mildness of the cli? mate of the region south of the To tomac frees the people, not only of I much of the rigors of the more North? ern States, but of heavy costs for fuel i during the winter months. Working people can live at less ox j pensc in the South than is possible in the majority of the Northern States, and now, when work is plenty, both North and South, thousands of arti? sans from the North spend their win? ters in the South, busy at their va nous occupations, earning good wages jand enjoying the balmy climate from Virginia to the Itio Grande. It Is when the Panama canal opens and permits the South to use the ad j vantages of location, as well as those lit possesses in waterways, ports and natural productions that will begin j the era of agricultural, commercial, industrial and financial development of that section of the Union, which will augment the prosperity of all tho other sections of the country. Ohio and Cincinnati will secure a full share of that prosperity, and will be represented in the exports and im? ports of every Southern port from ; Baltimore to Qalveston. The late Henry W. Glady s pride in Atlanta was such that when the town was emerging from its swaddling clothes into the habiliments of tiie I city, it was an unpardonable offense for a reporter to mention anything i< bout an ordinary runaway on the Streets and a crime to even hint 'about the depredations of a back lot cow. lb- wanted it to appear that At* lanta was such :? real city that it couldn't possibl) be interested In what would make the cross-roads sit up and take notice.- -Wilmington star.

Special Intereat Scnatora Make Hani right on Free Sugar ami 1-Yee Wool imt Majority of flrnalow arc Loyal to Tarty Pledge. Washington, June 155.?Free sugar In 1911 an<i free raw wool are now established In the tariff revision bill, having been approved late today by the Democratic caucus of the senate, after a two days' tight. The sugar schedule as reported by the majority members of the finance committee and practically as it passed the house was approved by a vote of 4 0 to 6. Free raw wool as submitted by tho majority, and just as It passed the house, swept the senate caucus by a vote of 41 to 6. This ratification of President Wit son's policy, he having insisted upon the wool and sugar propositions be? fore the ways and means committee in the beginning, came after a long series of developments since the tariff bill passed the house, in which the president was an active participant. When the light of the anti-free sugar ana anti-free wool Democrats was getting hot the president issued a public statement declaring that any suggestion of compromise on the wool and sugar schedule Ideas was abso? lutely out of the question and later he stirred anti-administration leaders to action when he made his charge about the existence in Washington of an "insidious" lobby, investigation of which has brought results regard? ed as favorable to the tariff bill. Th six Democratic senators who voted against free sugar on the final vote approving the schedule were Hitchcock, Nebraska; Newlands, Ne? vada; Ransdell and Thornton, Louis? iana; Shafroth, Colorado, and Walsh of Montana. The six who opposed free raw wool to the end were Chamberle.in of Ore? gon, Newlands, Nevada; Ransdell and Thornton, Louisiana, and Shafroth and Walsh. No attempt was made in the caucus today to bind the members to the ac? tion of the caucus. The question will come up when the entire bill has been passed upon. Some members fought it, but administration leaders said tonight they believed only the two Louisiana senators would ask to be released from the caucus pledge if one is submitted. j The general opinion is that a bind? ing resolution will be offered. I Approval the sugar schedule > came after prolonged discussion and after amendments had been vo*ed down. On some of the amendments the opposition showed more strength, the maximum being ten votes for Senator Shafroth's amendment to the sugar schedule. This would have eliminated free sugar and substituted a duty of approximately one-half cent a pound on refined sugar. This amend? ment was lost by a vote of 37 to 10, Senators Thompson, ChamberlaOi, Hitchcock, Newlands, Shafroth. Lane. Hansdell, Thornton, Tilltvan and Walsh voting for it. When this had been lost Senator Thompson of Kansas off ere I an amendment to retain the Underwood rate for three years, reducing it 50 per cent in l*l? and 2f per cent each succeeding year until it reached the free list. Senator Chamberlain. Fletcher, Hitchcock, Newlands Shaf? roth, Thompson, Tillman and Walsh [supported this amendment. The amendment offered by Senator Thornton to eliminate the free sugar provision and mainU In the Under? wood rates indefinitely was supported only by Senators Ransdell and Thorn tun. Senator Walsh offered the amend? ment to the wool schedule proposing a duty of 15 per cent ad valorem on llr.st class wools and that wools of the second and third classes, such as carpet and clothing wool, be free. This WSSI defeated. 39 to 7, senators voting for it being Chamberlain, New - lands. Hansdell. Shafroth, Thompson. Thornton and Walsh. Three senators were absent Culberson Owen and Hew is.
