The children of the Primary De-

any mode of entertainment. They
furnished their own music at this
part of the program in an instru-
mental solo by Miss Mary Little
Fisher. A recitation followed by

MONDAY MORNING.

MONDAY MORNING.
The brass banl of the South
Carolina Co-Educational Institute,
though 80 young in years, has yet
become so advanced in musical ex-
perience and skill, that it is an
absolutely necessary accompani-
ment to all the exercises of the
commencement season. The Mon
day mornings entertainment was
opened with the delightful privi-
lege of listening to the heart stir
ring music of the band, which was
followed by piano duet by Mrs
F. N. K. Bailey AID Miss Zana
Zimmerman.
The elocution class at this time
contested for the L. R. Gwaltney
medal and was composed of the
following young ladies: Miss Lii

"Bennie's Reprieve;" Miss Mary
Holstop, "Poor House Man." Miss
Matte Entzminger, "Tom's Little
STAR" Miss Carrie Morgan, "Heze-
kiah Bedot;;" Miss McCracken,
"Bill, the Engineer" Miss Mary
Busby, Brought Back" Miss
Ruby Penn. g
The recitation, "Bennie's Re-
prieve," by Miss Julia Anderson
was difficult one, but was given
with exceeding grace and ease of
manner, indicating unusual talent
carefully cultivated. Miss Mary
Holston also manifested marked
gift for elocution in reciting "Poor
House Man." very pathetic and
tedious selection. But this ls a
dull old world. of ours, and the
saying that
:sLaugh snd the world laughs withyou,
Weep and you weep alone"
is very often true, true at least this
once, for Miss Carrie Morgan in
the humorous dialect selection
"Hezekiah Bedot" gained great
applause from the audience, and
by the decision of the judges won
the medal, delivered by Rev. Mr..
Owens, of Johnston.
The program was interspersed
with music. A chorus lively and
Inspiring, and a dt,ett by Misses
Mamie and Ivey Sanders A vocal
treat was a gift to the audience, as
sang by Misses Eloise Anderson
and Minnie Rambe.
The young men of the sopho-
more class next competed for the
]. C. Sheppard medal. Mr.. B. D.
Thames with his accustomed zeal
and enthusiasm delivered the
"Addrees to the Romans" Mr..
w. D. Roberts in his speech on
"Our Future and Our Response
bility" displayed a promise of
early development as an orator.
Mr.. L. D. White in delivering
Lees Surrender" impressed his
hearers with his gift for public
speaking. Robert Entzminger fol-
lowed and almost convinced the
audience that he would receive the
medal, but not so. The judges saw
fit to present this reward of honor
to Mr.. w. D. Roberts, which was
delivered by DR.. G. c. Brown,
whose presentation address to the
young men was full of wit, and
wholesome encouragement.

Another foodgate of delightful

The old adage that children
should be seen and not heard, is
like a great many old sayings of
the days that are gone. not always

boys of the kindergarten beirg

The little doll drill, the marches

years of golden opportunities
which can never be restored.
The Kindergal ten, in the edu-

which has taken foot-hold in this
advanced age, the prop educa-
ton of the physical, social, intel

training of the giant oak in its in
fancy or the proper attention to a
young vine in it's incipient growth
is more important than all the
trimming, cutting, and pruning OF
all successive years.

We find that for some reason the far
mers in the valley have not as yet begun
to deliver their beets in any considerable
quantity.
Under our agreement with them we
ordered in the beets this year at the
earliest possible moment starting about
the 10th of September and up to this
date, the 18TH OF October, we have only
received about 1900 tons OF beets
We feel that it is necessary to urge
upon the farmers the fact that they are
injuring themselves and also the Sugar
Company by not making every effort to
hurry in the beets when ordered.
We hoped to open the factory about
the 5th Of October, but find it will be
the 18th before we can possibly get
started When we do start every farm
mer should be actually at work in order
to avoid the necessity OF closing down
This is doubly serious matter to us as
the Ditch Company desires to close
down on the water before it will be pos
sble for US to work up the beets when
they are 30 slow in coming in s4
On reading this notice we want to ask
every farmer to put ,orth every effort TO
deliver their beets to US without delay

Jury Consumed Sixteen Days Reach
ing Verdict.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, May 17.-At 4
o'clock this afternoon the jury in the Lutz
murder case, which has been out sixteen
days, reached verdict of murder in the
first degree. Thejury was promptly brought
into court, and when asked by the Clerk
if they had agreed upon verdict, F. A.
B. Koons, the foreman, said 81 signed the
the verdict, believing the man not respon-
sible, and" The Court interrupted
him, and said ''What is your verdict?'
"Murder in the first degree, he said :.
The verdict was then recorded and the
jury discharged. Lutz hung bis head, but
said nothing.
The jury went out on May 2 at noon,
and on the first ballot the vote stood 10
for first degree murder and 2 for acquittal,
on the ground of insanity. On May 7
one of the two went over to the majority,
and since then one man has held out.
This man was F. A. B. Rooms, of Hunt
ingdon Mills. On Tuesday Judge Halsey
sent for the jury, and suggested, in Judicial
language, that if they could compromise,
on a verdict of second degree or man,
slaughter, it would, under the law, be con-
sidered justifable.

The Dead Sea.

from CoillerS weekly.
Some long current illusions concerning
the Dead Sea are dispelled by Henry Dex-
ter, of the American News Company, who
went to see its reputed wonders with his
own eyes. In his opinion the bed of the
sea is of volcanic formation 81 took a

The water is, | should say, bituminous
salt brine. was careful not to get the
water in my eyes or on my hair 1 had
been told that nothing could sink in the
Dead Sea, but l found that was untrue,
for the reason that if 1 did not make an
effort to keep on top l would go down.
The water is of character that if any one
had a cutaneous disease it would make the
flesh smart iercely. It was exceptionally
refreshing, however, on account of the heat.
The water was wonderfully clear, and you
could see down to depth of twenty feet
The water was perhaps little more buoyant
than ordinary salt water, but it would not
hold me up. 1t was not sticky, but washed
off as freely as any salt water. One thing
I noticed, and of which l have never been
able to get an explanation, was small is
land about 500 feet from the shore. This
had on it large square blocks of stone. 1
have never been able to ascertain where
these blocks came from. The theory that
birds cannot fly over the water is untrue,
as saw lots of birds flying over it.

The Horse Holds Its Own.

From the New York Sun,
That horseless age is at hand has been
the cry for several years both in America
and Europe. The frequent and confident
statements of academic military men that
cavalry could no longer be counted useful
arm in war, owing to the great power of
modern artillery, hardly less than the sue
cess of the electric street car, the extensive
use of the cycle and the boom of the auto
mobile, have made this cry seem plausible.
But as yet the cry is not justified by the
facts. 1t is true that electricity is rapidly
monopolizing the urban transportation Of
passengers and that pleasure carriages
moved by motors are every day becoming
more popular, but nevertheless the horse
less age is still long way in the future.
The military sharps, whose beliefs were
based on theory instead of practice, have
discovered, through the bitter experience
of the British in South Africa, that cavalry
is by no means an obsolete branch of the
army. Indeed, lack of horses has been by
all odds the most serious drawback Lord
Roberts and the other British Generals
have had to encounter At this moment
British agents are securing the world for
remounts, and often paying exorbitant prices
for the same, simply because the cry of a
coming horseless age was taken too seriously
few years back by the breeders. But
while the current military demand for
horses has much to do with present stiffen-
ing prices, it is only one of the causes re-
sponsible therefor The passing of the de-
mand for car horses, which caused the ruth
less slaughter of tens of thousands of animals
of that grade, inaugurated permanent con-
dition, but today in New York, Chicago
and other big cities of the United States,
there is a more pressing call for horses of
the better grades than has been known fer
years. General prosperity is responsible
for this, and its influence on the horse
market is two6old. Unprecedented bust.
ness activity calls for great numbers Of
draft horses, and an abundance of money,
well distributed, naturally increases riding
and driving for pleasure, and the demand
for harness and saddle horses. The bicycle
and the automobile have their places and
are certain to remain in favor, but, never
theless, there is large and growing ele-
ment that cannot be satisfied with steeds Of
steel

The Live Stock Industry.



1t is difficult to realize the enormous
proportions of the live stock business now
being done at the great centres of this trade
in the West That at the Chicago stock
yards, from which we get large part of
our meats and meat products, was never
larger than it is now According to the
Chicago Tribune's record, last month
combined receipts of cattle at the four
leading Western markets were 467, 682,
or 55, $50 more than year ago. Chica-
go is credited with 80, O79 of the increase.
Receipts for the first four months of 1900
were l, no, 423 or 137. 27S more than a
year ago Chicago alone increased 95,
1927, compared with year ago. In the
first four months of 1900 Chicago, Kansas
City, Omaha and St. Louis received 5, 420,
900 hogs, being the largest receipts on re-
cord, as compared with the first four months
of any previous year, and two-thirds of
these were received at Chicago alone.
The receipts of calves and sheep are cor
respondingly enormous in their totals,
showing marked degree of prosperity in
the meat packing industry, as well as in
that of raising live stock for the market.

An Investigation Needed.
From York (Pa.) Gazette.

The Cuban postoilice scandal is good
advertisement of imperialism and is calcu-
lated to make President McKinley's gen.
eraI policy popular. 1t is true that we do
not claim sovereignty over Cuba, but we
have been treating the Cubans precisely as
though we did, and what has happened is
only fair sample of what is likely to
happen anywhere else under mixture of
imperialism and rotten politics.
There does not seem to be disposition
on the part of Governor General Wood to
spare any effort to unearth the frauds. But
there are indications that the administration
at Washington is not anxious to push the
matter any further than it must. The
Republican party leaders want to and they
do not want to; and they do not seem to
be sure which plan will do them the least
political injury.
Senator Bacon on Wednesday in the
Senate strongly urged that the whole man
agement of the Cuban affairs be investi-
gated, and urged that the nations honor
demands such an inquiry. He pointed out
that necessarily an investigation made by
the Postoffice department itself, the de-
partment through whose neglect the frauds
were perpetrated, is hardly such an inves-
tigation as will satisfy the people. What
ever it may do the department would al
ways be open to the suspicion of having
done some whitewashing, of having shielded
some culprits and having saved itself from
open besmirching.
Among other things the senator called
attention to the unlimited power placed in
the hands of Rathbone, who is at the head
of the Cuban Postal Department. Hi.
reading of the official order enumeratine
Rathbone' powers drew from Senator Hale
(Republican) the statement that no Roman
consul ever had more power. 1t is to
be hoped that congress will take up the in
vestigation recommended by Senator Bacon
And while it is about it it would not b.
admiss to inquire whether or no the alier
or imperialistic form of government has no
been productive of other frauds

The Care of the Eyes.

On arising in the morning the eyes
should be bathed gently in cold water
twenty 'spasses' are said to be decidedly
strengthening, says Harper Bazaar. While
using them closely they should be rested at
intervals of an hour or two, for the strain
of constant reading or sewing is like that of
extending the arms at certain height i'm
movable. Imagine then the taxing of the
eyes, which cannot complain save after
years of irreparable neglect. When dust
settles in the eyes warm water will soothe
them of any Inflammation; rose water is
extremely refreshing, but it should be
bought in small quantities, as it keeps but
short time Five cents worth will give
daily eye bath for several weeks. Tea
leaves and alum water were the eye tonics
which our grandfathers used, but in these
modern days of absolutely hygienic and an
tiseptic simplicity water, especially in a dis
titled form, is considered powerful enough.
