WAS drunk when he entered Mr.. SeaseS

and Sheriff Hunter had Mr.. W. H. W right
and Deputy Sheriff }. Fielder Huntef u
| call on our citizens for contributors u
buy Jetfcoat 4 hat and pay his railroad

COMMENCEMENT SERMON.
The annual sermon to the students ot
the Carlisle Fitting School WAS delivered
in the Methodist church on Sunday morn
ing at II o'clock by Rev. ". ". Daniel,
D. D., president of Columbia College.
The church was crowded until there was
not an available seat unoccupied. and
some were forced to stand through the
entire service. Dr. Daniel took for his
text the 10Th verse of the Goth chapter or
Acts, and, using Paul rs an example.
showed, in the most beautiful and force
full language, that prompt obedience to
the attractions of the cross of Christ Is
the way and the only way to 4 successful
life. The students We're cNhorted to make
Christ their ideal, and were assured that
every life, however seemingly beautiful
and successful, is a failure which does not
conform to the doctrines of Christ.
At night he took for his text the 9TH
verse of the 18th Psalm. From thlStcM
he urged the young people to be dlll=cnt
students of the Bible, which is the only
rule and the sufficient rule for our faith
and practice. 1t may he truthfully said
that the preaching was of high order
and truly inspiring, and if those whose
,nod fortme it was to hear it will only
take heed to it their lives will be useful
and happy. -,
DIR. Daniel made a most favorable I'M
preston upon his hearers, both for him.
self as preacher and for the college OF
which he is president.
The next session of the Fitting School
will commence Tuesday, September "3th,
and the attendance will no doubt be
larger than ever before.

Picnic mt st. Johns.

Last Saturday We had the pleasure OF
attending the annual Sunday school pic
mic at St. Johns church. in the lower part
of the county. 1t was an event to which
We had looked forward with pleasure, fol
to spend even day among the honest
generous, and hospitable people of that
section of the county gives one better
opinion OF human nature and makes us
believe that there is such a thing existing
as the brotherhood of man.
St. Johns is an ideal place for picnic
the grounds are large, level, and we'll
shaded-a beautiful location in fact-and
the people who annually gather here are
ideal hosts.
The gathering was successful one IN
every respect. The crowd was large, at
least five hundred people being present,
and not an unpleasant incident occurred
to mar the pleasure of the day. Lots OF
candidates were there, but. they didn't
discuss politics. At II o'clock exercises
were held in the church. The choir rem
dered some delightful music, the Sunday
school superintendent, Mr.. H. ". Carter,
read a portion of scripture, and Rev. ).
H. Wilson offered prayer. Then the
pastor. Rev E. W. Peoples, in pleasing
manner welcomed the guests. Mr.. -
Brabham then made an address. He was
followed by Rev. j. H. Wilson, who made
a capital talk, entertaining and instruc-
tive. Mr. Carter also made a few re-
marks, and Rev. Mr.. Peoples dismissed
the congregation and announced that
dinner would be served immediately.
Soon the good ladies had the tables
spread, and truly bountiful repast was
served. Those who have attended SINH
lar gatherings in that section know what
kind of dinner we had. This is the
land of good cooks, and the good, kind
ladies saw that no one wanted for any,
thing.
After dinner the crowd mingled in
pleasant social intercourse and lemonade
was served to all who We're thirsty. The
sincerity and open-heartedness of this
people makes it genuine pleasure to be
among them, and W. spent most de,
lightful day The Bamberg people pres

The following is clipped from the Car
olina, published at Spartanhurg, and we
heartily endorse every word of it: u. J.
McMalan is candidate for election as
State Superintendent of Education. The
fact that he has held it one term is no
reason why he should have it 4 second
time. But because he has made 4 most
efficient officer is good reason for his
reelection. He has been faithful, cner-
retic, abounding in good suggestions, in.
tensely interested in the schools. and
ALWAYS ready to make any improvements
possible. Last summer he gave the teach
ers the best summer school they have ever
had. This year it will be better. The
readers of the Spartan will be doing the
State good service by casting stheir votes
for John J. McMahan."
