On the morning of March 18th,
three or four hundred persons gath
cred at Liberty Hill, to witness the
closing exercises of the school.
OF the sixty pupils enrolled dur
ing the session fifty five were present
cheerfully ready to take their parts.
An attractive feature of the enter

ed most excellent music during the

After the music on the organ by
MI. Miller and singing by several
ladies, the curtain was drawn aside
and the exercise opened with prayer
by Rev. S. P. Shumpert.
Then followed a recitation by seven
little misses who formed WELCOME,
and a welcome address by one of the
young men. Till noon the audience
was delightfully."- entertained by the
younger pupils, the larger ones Join
ing them occasionally, with amusing
dialogues, funny recitations, songs,
marching, etc. The little folk did
extremely we'll which showed their
careful training and preparation.
An hours intermission was taken
during which time dinner was served
in picnic style. The long table pre-
pared by the patrons was we'll filed
with many nice things which all
enjoyed. Rev. Mr.. Shealy Of Saluda,
asked the blessing.
On re-assemblipg Hon. W. H.
Sharpe addressed the people on the
subject of Public Schools in Our
County and State. His was an able
and eloquent speech.
Then for two or more hours the
older students displayed their talent.
They delivered their recitations,
declarations, dialogues, charade and
plays in an admirable manner They
touched the hearts of the hearers
with the patriotic song, Our Flag"
and also pleased the audience with
the Spring Garland Drill.
Each pupil Of the school acted
we'll his or her part, much to the
credit Of pupils, patrons and teacher.
In a few words Miss Sue Corley
returned sincere thanks to the audi
ence for their kind attention, to her
patrons for the many kindnesses
shown her, and to the young men of
the band for highly appreciated
favor in playing.
The audience then listened very at
tentively to a special piece gotten up
for the close.
All went to their respective homes

Ruined New England.

a MIR. Simpson has contributed
to one of the reviews an article or
"New England Statesmanship," in
which he points q rather gloomy pic.
ture for that section. He says:
"Ten years hence there will not be
II mill operated in New England and
the South will have entered upon her
contest with Old England. Here
she will stand on equal grounds with
England in regard to the proximity
of her coal and iron, and yet possess
all the advantages over her that she
now holds over New England. The
contest can only end in one way, in
The tliumph of the South. The de-
struction Of the New England cotton
industries is only the beginning; the
South is fighting for the supremacy
of the world. What has been the
result of the war upon the South ?
1t has made her moro powerful and
stronger than she ever was before.
What has been the result as to New
England2 The destruction of her
great carrying trade at a blow, the
death of her greatest industry, and
the steady decent of her status in
rank and Importance"
There is much truth in what Mr..
Simpson says, but he overdraws the
picture in our judgment. We be-
iicve in time the South will become
the great cotton manufacturing CEN
tire of the world, but it will take
longer than ten years to accomplish
this great revolution. Mr.. Simpson
is right when he says the result of
the civil war was to benefit the South
and harm New England. With the
slaves the South was content to be
an agricultural people, but with
slavery swept away necessity COM
PEELED her to take up manufacturing,
which brings her into sharp compc-
tition with New England.-Orange-
burg Times.
