Mr.. S. Phillips Werner.
The Columbia Record says that, at the
recent commencement of the South Caro-
lima college, the student graduating with
highest distinction was Mr.. 5. Phillips
Werner, of Oconee.
The Clariosophic society of the college
held it's usual annual celebration. The
Record says:
"The announcement by Rev. Ellison
Capers that Mr.. S. P. Werner had won
the 'Carolinian' medal may not have
been a surprise, but it was the first knowl-
edge any one had of its award. The
announcement was received with an
applause that was most %f1attering. DR..
Capers said that there had been three OF
the seven essays which were considered
pre-eminent by the committee. They
were on character, written by Mr.. Yer
ner. and :The Philosophy Of Ideas and
Our Great Southern Literature He
said that the essay was not only a good
one. but peculiarly timely, fori f there
was anything which was needed in South
Carolina to-day it was men of character.
Never in the history of the State has
there been felt a greater want of charac-
ter in our citizenship.
Mr.. S. P. Werner, as valedictorian OF
the class, introduced quite a surprise and
touching innovation when, with 3 sose in
his hand, he arose to present it to the
president in the name of the Oldest living

After the conclusion of the evening SER
vices in the Methodist church OF Sunday
evening last, the pastor, Rev. n. G. Bal
lenger, announced to his congregation
that owing to the giving way of his health
he was reluctantly compelled to sever his
connection with his people as their pas
tor, and chat he had, or would SO notify
the proper church. authorities. We have
heard but one expression by our entire
community about the move that Mr.. BAL
lenger has been compelled to make, and
that is of universal regret. The Reverend
