Tie Greenville Ne,ps, of Sunday says
''The closing exercises of the Pelzer
academy were held in the town hall at
Pelzer on Friday evening. Miss Carpen-
tor, the efficient principal OF the school,
was unable to be present, but the exer.
cises were in charge of her assistants,
Misses Hard and McLees, and consisted
of recitations, dialogues, plays, broom and
fan drills, songs and calisthenics. The
entire program was successfully carried
out and reflected great credit on both
teachers aud scholars, and was equally
gratifying to the parents of the children
and patrons of the school. After the close
of the exercises twelve books, prizes for
different classes, were presented to the
successful contestants by Capt. A. e.
Smythe, and the usual money prizes for
the children who were regular in their at
tendance was handed them by Mr.. W. E'
Owens. The school, one Of the best insti.
tutions Of Pelzer, is run by the Pelzer man
ufacturing company and is kept open reg
ularly ten months in the year. 1t now
