The valedictory, a beautiful rhet- ' orical composition was most graceful- j ly rendered by Miss Dorothy Hood j Howie", who compared St. Joseph's j HjKAcademy to j. majestic vessel on the lofty decks of which had been learn- ) ed the first and most important les son, necessary for navigating their little barks?"Xon Xobis Solum". the art of living not for self alone, but j using for others to the best advantage j the gifts God has bestowed. In the j ? sheltered water the majestic vessel -had glided on, but after the fare- ! ; wells of to^ay different courses would he pursued by the seven little barks." Confidently will these little barks be handled for the crew of seven will 1 ' ever carry the chart and compass giv- i en by their loved alma mater. Following the graduation exercises the students of the Academy enter tained the audience with a very pieas ing program . Danz's beautiful chorus 4*Funiculi-Funicu!a" was rendered by one hunderd voices. Miss Marie L. Bultman read an in- i teresting historic account of out flag and made an appropriate com memoration of the 144th 'birthday of our flag, June 14th, 1021. j . Miss Mildred DeLorme explained in a most interesting manner the seal of South Carolina calling especial at tention to the figure in the seal of a woman walking along the seashore, representing "Hope" and to the high esteem in which the knights, warriors j and gallant gentlemen of South Caro- ? 2ina have ever held "fair women" as : as this is the only state in the union $hat does not allow the divorce law. A beautiful pageant portrayed our country'3 victories from 1873 to 1018. Liberty raised aloft on a pedestal was represented by Miss Pearl Barry. Be fore Liberty's shrine bowed England personified in 1783 France personified in 1800. Tripoli personified in 1805. England personified in 1814. Mexico personified in 184s:. Confederate States of America per sonified in IS65. Spain personified in 1 898. Germany personified in 191S. When England personified had granted Liberty's demands of the year 1814, the students of the Junior department sang that well known chorus of sixteenth cent my origin "O Dear, What Can the Marter Be", and when the strains of music and chil dren's voices burst forth into "?Dixie" following the narration of the events of the year 1865?there was many a ire-., cheer Miss Ammie Tiecher accompan :"r" ied the students on the piano and her masterful touch and perfect technique - ' inspired the students with additional spirit A piano Trio. ?'The Celebrated " Spanish Maren'' followed the an nouncement of the events of the year 1898. during whieh the students ? grouped about Liberty's pedestal to sing with enthusiastic young Ann-ri ?can hearts. their loved anrhem. "America" following the announ'-e ment Of the events of the year 1 '.Ms. The students of the High School .department clothed in beautiful flow ing white robes and carving tall green stemmed white lilies, portrayed in an ??Rt*5tic manner the beauty and sym- j bology of the lily. Eight students of the High School department eost umed in colonial Sft^Ie danced in a most becoming and graceful manner the beautiful colon ial fiance Of Washington's tine-"The Minuet". This dam e of our southern ancestors as represented last evening 'by- the students exhibited grace, dig nity and intelligence. They darned j it with all the elegance of grace and manner as becoming to it when The Minuet was the favorite social past v. time of the stately southern home. The program of the evening was brought to a close )>y ao address by Rt. Rev. W. T. Russell. Bishop of (Charleston, who congratulated the sisters and children upon the enter tainsnent and especially thanked the young ladies who danced The Minuet and expressed the hope that soon the modern dances would dissappear and we wouid return to something more graceful more dignitied and would have some pedantry. In speaking of I {the beautiful panarama of the [victories of our country, he j brought out in a most forecful and j masterly manor that we were not an I Anglo-Saxon nation, not Irish, not jFrench. not Italian. not German. From all parts of the world, we may say. we have drawn the raw material and we have built up a nation that is not Anglo-Saxon but American. Bish op Russell went on further to say in his address, "I would rather stand by Washington, Marshall, Jefferson and the leading men who founded this re public than by any modern ideas of experimentalists; I believe in the principle that Washington and others annoueed "We will have friendship for all nations, alliance with none." He also referred to the passage in Washington,^ Farewell Address: "We must remember that if we have not a moral sense, we shall never reach our destination and that morality i witohut religion is impossible" and to the fact that in the late war this na tion showed a cultivated and a relig ious spirit. He went on further to say that it was not the call of Eng land that brought us into the war. not ;the call of Germany nor the prohibi |tion of Germany, but what brought us into thewar was the sense this country that we were called by God to go and protect a nation that : h?d been unjustly downtrodden?Bel jgium?not to gain anything that we j entered the war?but a sense of jus i tice?a high ideal?and since the time j j of the crusades the first instance that ! was solely and entirely for that pur I pose. He also urged that, the women I of South Carolina stand together in j spite of force, for higher ideals, to j protect the purity of their fireside las this is the only state in the union ; that does not grant divorce-- What j God hath joined together, let no man put asunder." Plans to Remove .Shaft Erected to Lincoln's Assassin. [ Birmingham. Ala.. June 14.?A ' movement looking to the removal of j a statute erected at Troy. Ala.. 1 jsi j after the civil war to John Wilkes ! Booth, slayer of Abraham Lincoln, ! has been launched by Mrs. Cal I> J Brooks, president of the Woman's League of Republican Voters of Ala bama. I Mrs. Brooks declares that protest < asrainst the statue have come to the j league fro..a many sections of the ; country and she believes the timr has come when such acts as placing I the shaft will be frowned upon b> all good citizens of the south regard less of party affiliation." An injury has been done the south as a whole, she says, and a wrong impression created north, east and west. In order that there may be "one harmonious union of inter est, north east, west, south." Mrs. Brooks has called upon all political faiths of the south to join the league in plans to remove the Booth shaft. The statue was erected by funds gathered by semi-public subscrip tion at a time when partisanship was keen and when Booth was looked upon by some as a benefactor and hero. I The league claims that this was not the sentiment of the south at that time and that the surviving few who had a hand in he eretcion of the shaft will not object to its removal. Unemployment in Cuba. I _ j Havana. May 21?Unemployment j is a grave problem facing Cuba, ac I cording to the Havana Port, which estimates that the closing of the su gar refineries will increase those out of work to more than 300.000. There are more than 75.000 unemployed in Havana at present, the paper states it has been informed, with the num ! ber increasing as a result of the in flux of others from the country dis tricts. Unless the government takes action it is asserted there will be no relief until the agricultural districts again offer employment next September. The Oldest Fireman.

For a couple <d" dollars seed enough can be purchased and plants grown to till a border that would necessitate a hun dred dollars were the plants to be purchased next spring to be installed. No seedsman or nurseyman can af ford to sell even the commonest of perennials for much less than a quar ter per plant unless ordered in quan tity, but they can be raised at home for almost nothing. In preparing plans for a hardy border next year, there should be plans for a cold frame of some sort, for they are easily made contraptions, being merely boxes with slanting tops upon which window sash may be ! placed and, regular sash may be I utilized, if at hand, for small frames, instead of the specially prepared sash with overlapping glass A frame .is necessary for two of the most popular of the border plants, both biennials. ! that is. they must be raised every I year from seed and bloom the second i year after planting, and then die. These are foxgloves and Canterbury i Bells, which while hardy so far as ex j tremes of temperature are concerned, rarely will come through in the open ground owing to the rotting of the crowns in spells of wet weather. With a cold frame they come through with hardly the loss of a leaf. Of the two plants the foxglove or digitalis is the more enduring, and if the bloom spikes are cut off as soon as the seed pods start to form. the plant may be retained for several sea i sons', forming big clumps with a won derful display of bloom. There is nothing that produces the same effect of floral spires in the gar den as the foxglove and no plant that I gives the luxuriant wealth of bloom of the Canterbury Bell for a month. The seed is the cheapest of all the perennials and hundreds of plan's may be raised from a single packet of seed. Transplant a foot apart as soon as they have made true leaves, and at fali they will be strong plants. .Set a box or cold frame over them and a gorgeous display is guaranteed for next summer. But there are a score or so of per ennials which need no fussing. Just plant the seed, transplant them the proper distance apart and let them [grow. Of these the most decorative of all perennials is the easiest grown, the hollyhock. Nothing is more beau tiful in double lines along a house, a porch, a fence or in double rows along walks. The single varieties are the more artistic and the double give a longer I season of bloom. There is now a won derful variety of color, and for the j back of the hardy border they are in dispensable. They may bo planted up to July 1 with reasonable certainty of bloom another year, and even later if I given room to develop, j In yellow flowers no border is com plete without the yellow perennial.! coreopsis, with its long stems, ideal| for cutting and with its long period of bloom if it is not allowed to go to seed. The yellow marguerite, anthemis tinctoria. makes a gorgeous mass of i yellow daisies above a closely matted j ferny foilage. always beautiful and effective. However. the anthemis should not he allowed to seed or there will be anthemis all over the place. It reproduces from self-sown seed by the thousand and will have to be hoed up if allowed to scatter about the bor der. Fludbeckia Newmani, a cultivated form of tin- brown-eyed susan of the meadows, gives a wonderful effect massed in a border, particularly if adjacent to a mass of its usual com panion in the wild, the butterfly w*>ed or Asclepias tuberosa with its : flaming masses of orange, scatter or tawny bloom. Gallardias in ail-summer display of red and yellow flowers are one of the standbys of the hardy border, but they should have good drainage and should mi no account be transplanted in the fields, a process they will not stand. In blue Mowers, tin- peach-leaved bellflower will furnish an admirable j substitute for Canterbury Bells if one i has not a cold frame and doesn't want j to take tin- trouble to build or buy j one. The peach bells are as hardy j as rocks, and while not as robust in j growth as the Canterbury Bells and j limited :<? blue and white, they give a lavish displav of their handsome I 1 hells in June. Another member of the belltlower tribe with bigger and j handsomer liells is the balloon flower '< "\ platycodon. easily raised from seed and blooming in August. Tin- queen of bine flowers, how- : ever, is the perennial delphinium ori larkspur, in all shades from the palest to the deepest, with man;.' in-, terniediate shades', ami growing to a \ height of six feet in some varieties. ?' i Sown in June, these plants will be ? ready :<> send up their towering spikes I ?>;' bloom rifXI .lute-.

A packet of seeds will give more plants than any one gar den can well accommodate. They should be moved in August very carefully, as they are hard to trans plant, and invariably lose their leaves after removal but they are not dead and will appear again It is best to sow the seed where they are to re main and thin them out to two feet apart. The poppy entirely disappears af ter its blooming season so its location should be marked so its roots will not t ? destroyed in hoeing.

A Snbstitue for Kgg Plant I Gardeners, partic'ularly in the more , northern states often find eggplants a disappointing crop, as they have to ; plant so many plants to secure a rea sonable crop. If an eggplant pro | duces three or four good-sized "eggs" j n a season, it is about all that can J he expected of it, but often with the average gardener it docs not do even i that well. j A rival of the eggplant will be found in the vegetable marrows when Jthey become better known. Cooked lin precisely the same way as fried ieggplant, they are delicious, and many people consider them even more del j icate. The marrows furnish more food per plan*, than do the eggplants, I and are easier to grow if they get a sfart. It is not necessary to start them in the house or hotbed as it is j with eggplants. They are members of the squash family, closely related to the Miramer squash. They have olng been popu lar abroad, and only in the last year j or two, '?Italian squashes" have been ja curiosity in some of the vegetable markets in the larger cities in the ; very early spring. The Italian Squash is a form of vegetable marrow. These marrows will grow with pre [cisely the same treatment that will I grow good cueumbers or melons, j Th'w want warm soil, plenty of fer tility and moisture, the same condi I lions exactly as the melons. There are a number of varieties I now offered and anyone of the stan dard varieties will prove excellent. |It is well worth a trial, as it grows in bush form if desired, and is excel lent for a small garden. Parliament for South Ireland. Dublin. May 10?Kins George may have te appoint a Parliament from the south of Ireland. He is author ized by the Home Knie Act to do so if the members fail to take oath of office within 14 days after the date fixed for assemblage of the new Par liament. This fact is important in view of the announcement that the Sinn Fein ers nominated without opposition for the new Parliament, and thus virtual ly elected, have been accepted by the Irish leaders as constituting the new members of the Pail Eireann; sug gesting the probability that they will refuse to constitute Parliament for j wheih they were chosen. In that event. King George is au thorized by tin- Home Rule Act to apoint ;l committee consisting of I members of the Irish Privy Council and stu h other persons as he may j choose and constitute these persons a legislative and executive assembly! to exercise the functions of the Par- | liament. This provision is described by the! opponents of the act as the establish- j men! of Crown Colony government, j It is evident that it makes it easy for ! the government at once to take meats ures for setting up the Southern Par- : liament at or near the same time i as the Northern. Under this method | Southern Ireland would be governed by a comittee of nominated Irishmen instead of at present by nominated Britisfi officials. London.

A Big Lumber Plant Alderman Rebuilding Mill on Most Modern Lines ! j Harvin. June 14.?D. W. Alder man and Sons company of Alcolu. the progressive lumber corporation of that name that has been doing busi ness at Alcolu for nearly 35 years, which lost its immense planing mill plant nearly nine months ago, have broken ground for the rebuilding ot! a modern planing mill factory, that will he larger than the original one, and will cover an area 520x1,000 feet. The foundation will be steel and con crete, and will be equipped with the most modern machinery, and appli ances for the economical and rapid handling of all material, the latest automatic machinery will be used, all at a cost of approximately $150,000.00. In addition to this reconstruction of the planing mill portion of this immense plant, there will be install ed ten new boilers at the saw mill proper in five units, two boilers to the unit, which will give greater power for the increased capacity of the planing mill and other features of this great enterprise which now in cludes a modern ginnery, and it is thought by some will also have in I connection therewith a modern oil mill, and possibly a fertilizer mixing plant, all of which will add to the ad vantage of Alcolu and the surround ing farming section, which ha% so much developed within the past ten years. The county-national highway now under construction between Turbe ville. via Sardinia to Manning and from the Clarendon-Sumter county line via Harvin. Alcolu. and into the new road west of the Atlantic Coast Line railway, greatly shortening the distance between Manning. Sumter and Georgetown and on to the new road across Santee to Charleston, is nearing completion. It is at least wider than the old road, and will shorten the distance between Sumter and Manning, via Britton, Brogdon. Harvin and Alcolu. It is reported the section between Manning and the Williamsburg line has been complet ed. Ji<>st GoJd Mine of Mexico. Bisbee, Ariz.. June 14.?For three hundred years, according to reliable records, the Sierra Madre mountains of Sonora and Chihuahua Mexico have held the secret of a gold mine of fabulous richness and a vast treas ure store of gold, mined and hidden away in an inaccessible tunnel. The romance of the gold hunter is written in the history of man's ef forts through the centuries to reach and bring back to civilization this wealth of the Old Tyopa mines. Mur ders and violence have marked many of these efforts and still in many hardy breasts of this mining coun try today there still stirs the spirit which has promoted many to brave the dangers of starvation, thirst and death at the hands of Indian bands and outlaws in the search for gold. Mexico City contains records of the old mine and several prospectors, one of thorn Jack Dunn, accredited dis covered of Warren district, have re ported seeing ruins of the old mine, but none ever reached there. According to records at the Mexi I can capital, in the latter part of the seventeenth century the isolated vil lage of Old Tyopa was raided by In dians, who destroyed the town and killed all the inhabitants except a priest. After wandering for several weeks, the priest arrived at a little town call ed Auga Fria, on the Faqui river, where he was received and cared for by a Mexican family. His hardships caused his death, but before he died he gave to the family a description and map of the mining camp. He also reported that the gold obtained from seven years of mining had been stored in an old tunnel because of! the impossibility of shipment to civ ilization. The story and map. it is said, have been handed down from family to family for generations. Those who attempted to reach the camp lost their outfits and many did not return. The Indians for years menaced all prospectors and this condition still exists, augmented by bands of out laws. ! Max Co vita, for several years Mex ican consul at Xaco. is said to have been the latest, possessor of the priest's map. He declared he twice succeeded in getting as far as Casa Bianca, from which the ruins of Old Tyopa are visible and it was reported he had not given up hopes of reach ing the place at his death several j years ago. Bert Grover, a local man, twice J started with two companions to make the perilous journey, but was forced back because of insufficient equip ment. Indians and outlaws. Some remarkable gold specimens have been brought back from the vi cinity of the Old Tyopa. but so far as known no one ever has reached the mines siin-e the old town was destroy- j ed centuries ago. NATIONAL GUARD ELECTIONS j Columbia. June 15.?All votes for officers of the National Guard's First Regiment have not been received as yet. but it appears that for the office! of colonel. T. E. Marchant, of Colum bia, will be elected, and for the office; of lieutenant colonel. J. B. Keith, of! Timmonsville. will be elected. It al- j so appears that Capt. A. M. McLeod. of Camden. and Capt.

Printers Remain Out Boston Compositors Refuse To Return Boston. June 14.?Newspaper com positors who walked out of the morn ing- and evening newspaper offices here last night and today voted at a meeting tonight not to return to work until their demands for a wage increase were granted. This action was taken after Sylvester J. McBride, president of Boston Typographical union. No. 13, had told the men they had made a mistake in going out ami urged them to return to work. Michael Walker who presided at the meeting, said a wage scale de sired had been presented to the pub lishers by a committee of the men this afternoon but that the publishers had declined to treat with them. The scale, he said, called for $1.22 an hour for day workers, $1.29 for night workers and $1.36 for the "lobster shift." All evening newspapers were pub lished today, but most of them had fewer pages than usual. Prepara-' tions were made for the publication of all morning papers tomorrow. HEALTH AHTECLE. (Ey L. A. Riser, M. D., in charge Department Rural Sanitation and County Health Work, S. C Board of Health). The Care of the Baby. This article is written for the moth ers and fathers, and ?or the boys and girls, too, for the latter are' often the ones who have a great deal of the j care of their small sisters and broth ' ers, and it is very necessary that they know something of how to keep the ' baby well and happy. A well baby ! is always a happy baby and most of I the sickness of babies is entirely un necessary for it is too often due to improper care, improper food and improper clothing. The baby is very sensitive to heat and cold. In our bot summer weath er we very often keep the baby too hot. As the hot days come on we should think not of how much heat we can keep in, but how much we can lot out, and we let outt his heat by light thin clothes. Bad colds come on more often after the baby has been made too hot than after it has gotten too cold: ' During Baby Week, which was re j cently observed by one of our coun | ty health departments, the doctor in I charge wrote me of a baby which was brought to the clinic clad in three heavy flannel skirta made long bo they could fold bacK and thus double the amount of wrappings, over this was put the infant's dress and then it was wrapped in a heavy woolen shawl. This was in May in one of our southern counties. Every baby should have a bath once a day. It should be put in a tub of water, neither too hot nor too cold, only the head being kept out of the water. Le the baby have plenty of fresh air, keep all the doors and windows open and be sure they are screened to keep out flies and mosquitoes. It seldom gets too cold in South Carolina to take the baby out in the fresh air. wrap it up and keep strong sun light out of its eyes. Baby should have plenty of sleep and should not be disturbed Let the baby sleep by itself. Everybody is en titled to two things: his own tooth brush and his own bed. If you haven't a small crib, take a clothes basket. This makes a dandy bed and you have no idea bow baby will enjoy it until you try it. Please don't give the baby a pacifier or soothing syrup. I know you are sorely tempt ed at times. The baby is not a toy? don't handle it like one?be gentle with it. The best food in the world'for a baby is mother's milk. Sometimes artificial feeding is absolutely neces sary. Great care is needed in hot weather when a baby is bottle fed. Ten bottle fed babies die to every one breast fed baby. If cows milk is fed it should be pastuerized. Pastueriz ers can be had for a few dollars, but if you can't get one milk may be pastuerized by putting the proper number of feedings for: twenty-four hours each in a separate bottle, put ; some absorbent cotton in the bottles for stoppers. Then put them in warm I water in a deep covered vessel, brir ?; it to the boiling point, then take off the fire and let the bottles remain in the water thirty minutes. This is better than boiling. After three months of age a rouge juice should be given to bottle fed babies, a tablespoonful or more may be taken once a day. Don't forget to give the baby wa ter. Boil the water and then cool it. Babies suffer for a drink of water in hot weather just as grown folks do. If you have a cough or cold keep away from the baby, and even if you are well, don't kiss the baby on the mouth. Contagious disease is often given the baby in this way. If the baby gets sick send for the doctor? don't put it off. ? Sale or Old Manuscript. London.
