Clifford Female Seminary
Commencement. '
Tl.o Clifford Femulo Seminary 1
commencement exercises were begun J
Sunday morning at the First Frew- f
byterian church, when Rev. J. L. t
McLees preached the baccalaureate i
sermon. lie read several selections '
and -chose for his text Psalm 02, ^
Verse 12. "The righteous shall flour- f,
ish like the palm tree; he shall grow e
like a cedar in Lebanon." His f
theme was, Life, its growth and de- *
velopment. With telling eloquerce, t
he depicted life in all its phases, tho ?
controlling thought and ruling idea, ?
that the inner life must be kept pure
in obedience to tho laws of nature, and f|
God would take cure of the outer life, C
being dependent upon God alone for !'
that very existence. The entire dis- ^
course was a master piece of logical d
reasoning and greatly enjoyed by all tl
who heard it. The house was filled b
with appreciative hearers, there being
no services in nny of the other {
churches, as is the usual custom on p
such occasions. Monday night at ei
the Seminary, Mi68 Thomson's ^
music class entertained a few friends p
at a private concert. Solos and \
duets pet formed by the class and
some of the invited guests. The j
evening was delightfully spenU atuid
the melody of sweet sounds. w
At 8:30 p. m., Tuesday, the o
chapel doors were thrown open to the
invited guests and a most interest- n,
ing program given, as follows: h
Invocation, by Rev. D. M. Mc- vv
Leod. e<

llev. A. G. Wardlaw made the n
address to the graduating class, ti
theme "womanliness." The address

Music by Miss Lena Amos. I]
Dr. B. G. Clifford gave a short, (
characteristic talk to the class, delived
the diplomas, conferring upon f,
each member the degree of A. B. w
Music by Miss May Miller. ?j
Dr. Clifford then presented the g
Nicholson Medal to Miss Mary Hen- n,
rietta Ligon. To Miss Cornelia hi

Soldier.. Title of the essay by Miss ^
Greer was "The Soldier In Gray." ^

The graduating class received 0|
many very beautiful flowers and il
handsome presents. H
Clifford Female Seminary grtnL ^
uated the largest class at the close of l(<
this term than for the past several p
years, and closed its most successful ?<1
and satisfactory session. This institution
has established a very high 'S(
standard, and the increased popular- h
ity bespeaks a moie prosperous fu^ 01
ture career than has possibly hereto- j?
f;re been enjoyed.
Labor and Cotton. ?]
t,
At the recent convention of cotton c
manufacturers at Washington, the j?
admission was made that the advance j'j
of cotton was not duo so much to n
speculation as to the increasing dc? ir
mand, while thero has been no ma ??
terial increase in the crop. The ai
Philadelphia Record, discussing the
situation as develoned at the eonven
tion, says:
"Southern cotton men at the convention
in Washington are corn; lain- t
ing of thte scarcity of labor. The ,i
negroes are flocking to the cities, e
and better l-?hor n? well as more of it 11
is desired, ac.d must be had if the *
cotton crop is to be increased much. \\
But the law will not allow the grow- U
era to go to Europe and get laborers, !l
and Senator Lodge would not admit ,,
European laborers who come of their j.
own accord unless they be intelligent N
enough to .discuss constitutional law. <1
South Carolina has appointed a com "
missioner to urge immigration from
the North and from Northern Eu- (
rope, but if any Germans should "
come here because the South CarolL f''
na commissioner told them they could j!
get plenty of employment at trowd v
wages in his state, the New York ^
immigration officials would report | ^
them as contract laborers." ^

Contract Let.
I)
We have ju3t been informed this n
(Tuesday) morning by Mr. A. P. r
Abrams, architect and builder, that ii
he, with his partner, Mr. Ingram, si
had today been given the contract <'

Ohnrch edifice. Mr. Abrams has i'
also gotten the contract for the erection
of a large and handsome reeldeuce
for Dr. Crown Torrence on *
Main street, on the lot between Mr.
L. G. Young and the H. L. Goes p
house. Mr, Abrams is now engaged ]
in building Mayor Macbeth Young's j
house on Main street next to the v
Clifford Seminary, and 'that of Mr. 8l
Joseph H. Gault on South street, v
All of these houses when completed S
will be models of modern elegance, a
^ oomforb and oonvenlsnoe. i
