HThe Hcat7len Chfnce."

Says the London Daily News: "In
the course Of a conversation which a
correspondent of The Daily News had
not so long ago with the departing
American ambassador, Mr.. Hay told
him an interesting anecdote of the origin
of The Heather Chinee. He and Bret
Harte especially delighted in the fol-
lowing lines from chorus in 'Atalanta
In Calydon:'
Who shall seek, who shall bring
And restore thee tie day
When the dove dipped hcr wing
And the oars won their way
Where the narrowing Symplegades whiten
the straits Of Propontis with spray?
The melody of that poem,' said
Mr.. Hay to the correspondent, rang IN
Bret Harte's ears and mind till he
wrote, 1.-The Heathen Chinee" in that
measure -

Opening Exercises Of Palmetto
Classical Institute.
To the Editor of tho Dispatch:

To the Editor of tho Dispatch:
On Wednesday morning of last
week many OF the citizens of Lexipg-
ton and surrounding community as
sembled in the school building to wit
ness the opening exercises Of tho
Palmetto Collegiate Institute.
Rev. W. NJ. Harden, the beloved
pastor of the Methodist church, was
present, and opened the exercises by
reading a chapter and Offering
prayer. The highly respected pas
tor of the Lutheran church, the Rev.
J. G.. Gtaichep, then cane forward
and made an excellent address cn
the value of an education. I think
all who were so fortunate as to near
these remarks went away stimulated
with a greater desire to give that
priceless gift-education--to their
children. He said educated people
were better enabled to see things in
proportion-to take broad, liberal
view of things, and hence better pre-
pared to live in harmony aud fellow
ship with his fellow man.
A splendid paper, full of deep
thought, was read by Rev. Mr. Har-
den. He clearly demonstrated to all
considerate persons that it is highly
profitable to the young to have their
minds trained. He showed how any
man was better equipped for all the
pursuits of life when be has been
properly educated. These eloquent
words were gladly received by the
audience.
The Principal, Mr.. O. D. Seay,
made few remarks concerning the
Opening and the outlook for a good
school. He said be felt extremely
grateful to the good people of Lex
iogton and the surrounding commu-
nifty for any and everything they had
done for the uplifting of this noble
institute.
Everybody can do something to
make the school more prosperous in
the future than in the past. If every
family in Lexington village would
secure just one boarding student
the school building would have to be
enlarged to accommodate the stu
dents. I honestly believe it can be
done. Let every one do something
for our school. Let US say some.
thing for it. Ok! A Citizen.

News from Around the Star.
To the E iitor Of the Dispatch:

To the E iitor Of the Dispatch:
Farmers are quite busy gathering
their 3 cents cotton and some are
not through pulling fodder.
We are glad to note that the
trustees of the Star have reelected
Miss May Haltiwapger to teach their
school this winter. She won the
confidence Of all this summer, and
her pupils are very glad to 60 to her
again this winter.
The health of the community, since
my last, is on q stand still. There
are still few cases of fever.
We regret to learn of Mrs. l.. A.
Sease's illness. This is sad thing
to befall this happy couple in the
big nnipg Of their married life. We
hope that she will be we'll in a few
more days.
The young people of this commu-
nifty have taken an early start on
entering the holy bonds of matri-
mony this fall, and from what we
can see there will be another before
long, won't it Babel" We heard of
one young man getting his bride and
putting her in the cotton patch as
soon as possible. He meant busi-
ness.
We wonder what girls have so
attracted Bub and Bub that they
turn over their cart in trying to
reach their home before sundown.
Look for stumps the next time boys,
as you will save more time than by
falling out.
We miss our trusty young friend,
Miss Esse Lindler," who entered
college at Leesville Wednesday last.
Our best wishes go along with her.
The protracted meeting at Beulah
was put off another month on &C
count of the people being so busy.
{ We think the pastor did a wise
thing in so doing as he will have
more hearers and We hope the meet
ing will be a success.
1t is believed the Sunday school
at this place will go into winter
quarters on next meeting. Some
think it best.
We have had the sad experience OF
standing over another of our friends
AMI schoolmate's open grave and
seeing her body put out Of sight
Miss Daisy Lapgford, the daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. L. J. Langford, died
Sunday, September 1S.b, and was
quietly laid to rest in the cemetery
of Old Lexington church. But we
are very glad to say that she left be-
| hind her sweet assurances that she
was going to heaven.
Success to our Dispatch.
