The Georgia sensation OF last week was the
difference between the Trustees and the Fac.
ulty OF the Georgia State Normal and Indus
trial School in the matter Of granting diplo-
ma TO one Of the young lady graduates.
The Faculty charged the young lady with
cheating in one Of her examinations. The al
legged cheating was done after the diploma had
been awarded.
II the statement of the Faculty is true, that
the young lady is unworthy Of Il diploma
from the college in which she had so long re-
mained, 1t would seem that this fact would
be a two-edged sword, and might raise in the
public mind, q question as TO the efficiency Of
the the Faculty or the excellence of the gen.
eral management of the institution.
The college that would keep young lady
within its walls until the day OF graduation
and then publicly declare her unworthy, we
submit, is guilty of inconsistency, and vir-
tually makes reflection on ITSELF A college
cannot disgrace graduate without casting
shadow over itself.
According to our way OF thinking, any Fac
ulty that would solemnly adopt and publish
resolutions in reference to one Of their pupils
as was done in this instance should resign,
and in case they did not resign, then we think
the Trustees would err. and did err, in re-
electing Faculty that committed so grave
an offence, or inflicted SO severe penalty on
an orphan girl to whose care and training
they had been entrusted.
In our way of thinking the Faculty has
acted most cruelty In inficting punishment
which mnst reflect and react on the college
itself.

COKESBURY SCHOOL.
Interes ting Account of the Close of the
Scholastic Year.

Cokesbury, S. G., June 7th. 1895.
The commencement exercises OF the Cox es-
bury Conference High School began Sunday
morning June = A large crowd assembled In
the Methodist church to listen TO a sermon by
Rev. H. W. Bays, u. d., OF Abbeville The
singing Sunday morning. which was very
fine indeed was rendered by choir composed
oi Mrs. BENJAMIN Frapklin, Miss CorTie and
Hodges and Brunlley Hart with Miss Florence
Tucker at the organ. Seats in the front OF
the church were reserved for the pupils OF the
school who marched from the college hall TO
the church preceded by the teachers, Prof.
Rice and Miss Tucker.
The sermon by DIR. Bays was q magnificent
one-one of the finest ever delivered In Cokes-
bury.
Sunday evening at half past eight o'clock
Rev. j. B. Campbell, OF Greenwood, was ex-
pected preach, but could not come, so DIR.
Bays occupied the pulpit and preached very
fine sermon.
Monday evening at O'Clock large and APP
preciative audience assembled In the college
hall to hear the literary address OF Rev. w.
NJ, Grler, ID. d., President OF Erskine College,
Before the address Miss Macle smith render
ed the recitation, "Brer Rose" beautifully.
The address of DR.. Grier was very able one
and conceded to be one Of The finest ever de-
livered In old Cokesbury.
Tuesday morning at IL o'clock In the college
hall, we had six declamations from rs many
Young men. namely: Grimke Graham, Robt.
McCord, Charlie SIN ith. Jr., William McCord,
Geo Smith and John Moore.
These deolamatiOns reflected much credit
upon Prof. Rice. The solo sung by Mrs. j. s..
Aiken was highly complimented, and the
uuartette tyrolese chorus WAS sweety render
ed by Mrs, j. $. Aiken, Miss Currie and Miss
Clara Hart and Prof. Rice
The exercises OF the morning closed with
an able address by Rev. E. G. Price, of Cokes-
bury.
Tuesday evening at half past eight o'clock
came the crowd we did not have standing
room. The ipstrum tai duet by Miss Alice
Connor and Miss Carrie Price, ages eight and
six respectively. was very beautiful and gave
evidence of much faithful work on the part
Of their teacher Miss Tucker. Music by Miss
Laura Nickles, Miss Louise Franklin, Miss
Mary Ellen Norris and Parker Connor was
exceedingly good. Among the prominent
features Of the entertainment was, the story
OF Joseph by the boys Of the school In tissue
paper costumes.
The Gypsy Festival by the school was a
mnrke success elcting rounds OF applause.
The exercises closed with four beautiful tab
leauxs. namely: Loves. Ritornella and the
Rose Bush. The commencement of the
school was a grand success from the begin
ming to the end; old okesbury has never Wit
messed such time In many years.
The splendid success OF the past school
term Is due TO the untIring energy and faith
iulness OF Prof Rice and Miss Tucker. They
have given entire satisfaction in every way,
and we hope 10 be able to secure their SER
vices for another year &. l.. Smith,

Attorney General Barber has Just received

1t sometimes occurs that negroes gain some

that all their rejoicings over Gotr's recent de-
cison has been for naught in so far as any
good to themselves is concerned.
No matter what the trouble. there are al

profit by the prejudices of the negro. and the
hat is always handed around for the benefi!
OF the latest and slicllest of the patriots.
The negro in his poverty has contributed
large sums Of mouey TO be given as fees 10 the
men who go careering over the country with
q great long tongue, and great professions OF
love for the negro. The negro in his blind
ness does not seem 10 realize that the patriots
who are working for them are more anxious
about receiving their dimes than securing
personal liberty for the ignorant voter.

Although it had been known to US
for some time that Prof. and Mrs. w.
H. Wallace had resigned their chairs
in the Columbia Female College facul-
ty, we withheld publication of the fact
until last week, hoping that they
might consent to accept reelection.
But as they declined to serve longer,
and as Prof. Wallace has since accept
ed the Superintendency of the New
berry Is. C.) Graded Schools, we CAN
now but express our deep regret at
their departure from the College and
from Columbia. Their superiors as
high-toned Christians and as COM
petent, pains-taking and conscientious
instructors are not to be found, we be-
lieve,-and their equals are few. With
no intentional disparagement Of their
possible successors, we feel that the
College has sustained serious loss by
their departure. AS an educator and
as q citizen Prof. Wallace is held in
the highest esteem here. The Colum-
bia State, June I, has this to say edi-
tolially. which We, of course, heartily
endorse
1.-THE people of Newberry will hearth
ly approve the action of the trustees in
placing Mr.. w. H. Wallace in charge
of that city's graded schools. There
are few men so well fitted for such
post, in character, experience and at
tainments, as is Mr.. Wallace. Under
bis management the schools of New
berry will surely flourish"

was "Plagiarisms.'' Among other incidents
mentioned where alleged plagiarism had oc.
cured was In the case Of that beautiful piece
OF poetry, my Life is Like the Summer Rose, ="
by Hon. r. II. Wilde, of Augusta. Ga. which
was first published in 1915 or 1916 In 1884
Greek scholars-friends of the author-trans-
lated IT into the Greek language, and thinking
TO play joke on friends showed II 10
others. The hoax was so cleverIy performed
that 1t gave rise TO the charge of plagiarism
on the part Of the big hearted author. The
lines are as follows:
My life Is like the Summer Rose.
That opens TO the morning sky;
But, ere the shades Of evening close,
Is scattered on the ground-to die.
But, on the roses humble bed
The sweetest dewS OF Night are shed
AS II she wept such waste TO see;
But none shall weep tear for me.
My life is like the autumn leaf,
That trelnbles on the moons pale ray:
Its hold Is frall, It's date Is brief,
Restless, and soon 10 pass away.
Yet, ere that leaf shall fall aud fade,
The parent tree shall mourn its shade;
The winds bewail the leaf1ess tree;
But none shall breathe sigh for me.
My life Is like the print, which feet
Have left on Tampa's desert strand;
Soon as the rising tide shall beat.
This track will vanish from the sand.
Yet sill, as grieving to efface
All vestige of the human race,
On that lone shore loud means the sea;
But none shall e'er lament for me.
This poetry Is favorite piece with Judge
MCGOWAN. The author gave him manu-
script copy Of the poem at Edgefield when he
was young man, and he has ever treasured
1t.
The meeting was most pleasant one.
