Graded Schs0l Department.
W L B.


The members of the tenth grade,
as you know, write the items for
the paper; but as our teacher has
given the eighth grade the task of
writing them this week, We shall
do our best aud beg the people to
tly to endure the change.
Miss Erckmann, our much be-
loved primary teacher who spent
several days in Charleston, her home,
last week, attending the marriage
of her sister, Miss Dorothy Erck
mann, has returned and reports a
very pleasant visit. This was a
well-earne1 vacation and, although
We missed Miss Erckmann a great
deal, yet We are glad that sac was
given the enjoyment of visit home.
Two good things came eff Mon
day night, the lyceum attraction
and the storm. We were aware of
the attraction about y week before
hand, but the storm took US by sur
prise. The storm came first. but
after that the school auditorium was
filed with the people of Kingstree
who stood the storm to hear "the oest
of the season."
Rev E E Erwin paid us a visit
Friday morning and conducted
chapel exercises. We are always
glad to have our town friends, es-
pecially the preachers, visit us and
only wish they would come oftener.
The eighth grade is not writing
essays, as our tenth grade friends
are doing, but We are having almost
as difficult time in getting Ulys-
ses back to his home otter the siege
of Troy as he himself experienced.
The Wee Nee Literary Society held
its meeting Friday afternoon. 1t
was a very interesting one, as new
officers were elected. They are as
follows: Mary Swami, president;
John Ross, vice president; Mamie
Montgomery, critic; Clara Mont
gomery, secretary; Ruth Hlnnaat,
treasurer; Elma Kinds, censor.
Our society is prosperlng in spite
of all pesslmistic predictions and
we hope that the public meeting we
expect to have next month will be
a:tenued and enjoyed by all.
The society is delighted to learn
that Mr. Louis Gilland. of the Kings
tree bar, has accepted the invitation
to make the address at the public
meeting of the society, which will
be on the Friday evening before
school closes. Besides Mr. Gilland's
address there will be a prayer, mus
ic and d debate. The query select.
ed for the evening is: Resolved,
That the immigration of foreign pee.
pie TO the United States is desirable.
Mary Swami and Mamie Montgom-
cry, from the ninth grade, are the
debaters IN the affirm .tlre, and
Clara Montgomery and David
Scott, from the eigth grade, are on
the negative side.

At midday Sunday the last rites
were held ut the Methodist church,
conducted by DR. Jno D Wilson,
president of Lander college. Then
silently the body was borne to the
Baptist churchyard where in its little
bed all that is earthly of this tender
maiden sleeps that sleep that will

With sad faces they appear.
But what profits are they gaining for
the sadness taat they showt
see the foolish people 'rowning As
they hurry on their ways.
They have neither time for smiling
nor for giving others praise;
They are thinking OF their sorrows,
which arc always multiplied.
They arc bearing wees that ever In

They are hurry!Dg along,
Thinking all that {, is wrong;
But what profits are they sainiag tor

They decline to search Tor gladncss

sues Nebraska Governor.

Lincoln. Neb., Feb. 9.--Attorney
General Thompson Friday began suit
in the supreme court against Cover
nor Sheldon to collect on behalf Of
the state Of Nebraska, 500 house rent
for use Of the executive mansion for
the month Of January. The suit is
begun at Governor Sheldon's request
to settle the question Of the validity
of law passed fourteen years ago
providing an official residence for the
governor. The law Is seemingly in
violation of the constitution, which
says the governor shall accept no en-
oluments other than his salary. Four
preceding governors have occupied
the mansion without the question be-
ing raised.
