The recent decision and conviction
of a whiskey drummer in the United
States Court in Charleston as seen in
another column, charging the indi-
vidual with soliciting orders and send
ing off for whiskey for other parties,
it seems will apply as well to others
engaged in this same business in other
counties in this State. If it is unlaw-
full and it seems right then in every
instant the whiskey should be seized
and confscated according to law, and
the parties soliciting Or obtaining Or
ders for liquor should be indicted in
the United States Court, and punished
accordingly. It should apply to those
engaged in the blind tiger business
also.

burg, received certificates in English
and Art.
Two gold medals were awarded:
One to Miss frankie Herlong for dis
tinction in the elocution department,
the other to Miss Birdie Bryant, for
greatest improvement in penmanship.
The exhibit of the work of the art
students this year was unusually good.
The walls of the chapel were beautl-
fully decorated with over a hundred
most excellent oil, water-color and
pastel paintings, and drawings in
charcoal, crayon and pen and ink
done by the art class of this year.
The work was that of well advanced
students carefully and beautifully
done. Especial mention should be
made of life-size head of a girl IN
pastel by Jose Shuler, which attracted
great deal of attention because OF
it's good poise and beautiful coloring.
A water color piece of special merit
was large study of apple blossoms
and sheet music done by Miss Cecil
Mitchell of Leesville. A most delight
full piece of work because of it's airy
composition and it's delicate tints.
This scholastic year has by far been
the most prosperous of any of the 20
successful years of this institutions
existence. The enrolment this year
was 267, and the discipline and appi-
cation for students have been ex-
ceptionally good. This school is do
ing a great work and President Hay
mes is already busily engaged arrang-
ing for greatly enlarging the capacity
of the school for next year."

mandatory injunction.
The express company refused to re-

great losses it had been subjected to
on account of handling such stuff in
prohibition districts, the state law be-

Leesville College Commence
meut,

The commencement exercises OF
Leesville college came to close on
Tuesday evening the 9th, with lee
ture delivered by DR.. A. B. Cook, OF
Wofford college, on the VISIONS Of
life. He showed the value of visions
their necessary precedence of the
practical and their power to material
progress.
On the whole this has been one of
Leesville's most delightful commence
ments. The exercises began on Sun
dy, morning with sermon by Rev.
L. A. Cooper of Johnston. Mr.. Cooper
has reputation as minister of much
force and beauty of diction and his
effort upon this occasion was generally
conceded to have, been one of the
strongest sermons ever delivered in
Leesyille. His theme was an urgent
admonition for a high life actuated
by high ideal. He is gifted in the
art of fitting and forceful Illustrations.
The service of the morning were
followed in the evening by master
full sermon by Rev. A. j. Bowers D.
D. of Newbery College. DR.. Bow
ers had large and appreciative audi
ence among whom were great num-
Der of his old students at Newberry.
His sermon was On life and it's mean
ing and the way to bring it to mean
the most.
On Monday morning the meeting Of
the graduates was held. Mr.. j. Ancel
Caughman class '05 being the orator
of the occasion. The meeting was
most enjoyable one. Misses Riser
and Bateman furnished the music for
the occasion which consisted of
vocal solo by Miss Riser and two
piano solos by Miss Bateman.
The annual address was delivered
on Monday evening by DR.. S. r. Belk
of Augusta Georgia. DR.. Belk is
quite noted as a speaker, but he far
exceeded the expectations Of his audi
ence in this address.
The exercises of Tuesday were given
over to the music department and
special mention should be made of
the high class of music rendered.
Professor Brockman has charge of
this department of the college and
the exercises clearly showed that he
is musical trainer of rare ability. 1t
is impossible to give full account OF
these exercises, for each part was
well rendered, but special mention
should be made of the trio, 'Hearts
Feel That Love Thee" (Mendelssohn)
by Misses Bladon, Able and Padgett.
Also song, forbidden Music" by
Miss Dora Roof. The musical pro
gram ended with a beautiful col
lege chorus, after which Pres. l.. B.
Haynes presented diplomas to the
graduates, Misses Mamie Padgett,

going on a picnic let it be thoroughly

from what place how much it will
cost each person for car fare or steam

set out for home.
If possible always on such occasions
have the company of a teacher, a moth

Sesame and Lilies" Mr.. Ruslxin de-

among other things that a girls work,
her mission in life, is to please people
and to feed them in dainty ways.

One of the most delightful picnics in
my experience was OH the Long Island
shore at a point where the waves of the
great South bay comes rolling and
tumbling in. We started on the picnic

ready for the feast yourselves? A
school spread need not be very elabo-
rate, but you will want plenty of what
ever you decide to offer.
Sandwiches in variety and abundance,

sandwich may be q coarse make-shift

Of anybody who is refined and fastid-
ious. To make sandwiches properly for
a spread, you should have a sharp
knife and a steady hand. Bread one
day old is better than bread freshly
baked. Carefully remove the crust and
first buttering each slice before cutting
it, spread it with minced ham or chick
en-, or with nuts finely chopped, or
with a paste of hard boiled egg, or with
leaves of lettuce, crisp and green and
favored with a mayonnaise dressing.

cook admirably and to waste no good
material is a real feminine accomplish
ment.

likewise excel when she tries manual

To do this successfully you should
have a spread of some sort and your

Ceremonials and Weddings
Tradition Pretty Story Christening
Beautiful Mrs. Tyler Bride of the White House."

Quincy, Jr., was married at the White
House, to his cousin, Miss Johnson.
Mrs. Andrew Jackson was buried in
the dress she had meant to wear at
her husbands Inauguration, and the
general came to the White House wild
over. During Jackson's term of office
there are fewer tales of brilliant enter
tainments. twas expected they would
be restored by Martin Van Buren,; but
they were not to the old degree, though
the presence the second winter of his
sons beautiful young southern bride,
Angelica Singleton Van Buren, Ca cous-
in, by the way, of Dolly Madison),
made for considerably gayety.
President Tyler was the first of the
presidents to wed while in office. His
first wife died shortly after he succeed
ed Harrison, and for some time he lived
in retirement. The story of his second
marriage is tinged with sadness, as a
tragedy was cause of his early init
macy with the lady whom he eventual
ly married, who became famous as ''the
bride of the white house." The lady,
Miss Julia Gardiner, of New York, and
her father, were members of the presi-
Dental party that met with such disas-
ter on the sloop-of-war Princeton,
when great gun burst, and six of the
guests were killed. Mr.. Gardiner was
one of the victims. The president tried
to comfort the heart-broken daughter,
they fell in love and were united at
quiet wedding at the Church of the As
cension, New York. Miss Gardiner was
descendant of the lords of Gardiner
island, and very beautiful woman.
President Buchanan's niece, Miss
Harriet Lane, has gone down to his
