Mr.. Swearingen Last Hight-Suc.
cessfuI Term.

SCoStVl lVtWs
The commencement exercises OF the
Palmetto Collegiate Institute began
on Sunday morning with strong SER
mon by the Rev. J. Percy 1nabnit, of
Cottageville, 8. c., and closed last
night with the literary address by the
Hon. John E. swearingen, the brill
liant State Superintendent of Educa-
tion of South Carolina.
The Rev Mr.. Inabnit took for his
text portion of the 18th verse of the
18th chapter of Matthew: "How much
then. is man better than a sheep"
This:was one of the most powerful
sermons ever delivered at a COM
mencement here. For forty-fiye min
utes the speaker held the rapt atten-
tion of the mighty throng which filled
Roofs Hall to standing room.
f The commencement proper opened
on Monday morning with exercises by
theismaller children. This is always
one of the most interesting programs,
and the program Monday was no ex-
ception. The exercises consisted of
dialogues, recitations, piano solos and
DUETS. Each number was well rem
dered, the children rejecting much
credit upon their instructors.
The exercises on Monday evening
were of a very high order. Especially
interesting was the dialogue entitled
''The Singles Family" by nine girls.
The programme was perfectly rem
dered and was witnessed by a very
large audience.
A very attractive program, with
many pleasing features, was rendered
yesterday morning.
Last night the commencement came
to a close with the literary address by
State Superintendent of Education J..
E. Swearingen and an interesting and
entertaining program by the school.
Itwas indeed fitting that Mr.. Swear.
iugen was introduced by Hon. s. J.
Leaphart, his old friend and college
mate. Mr.. Leaphart told how Mr..
swearingen had overcome the many
obstacles in life, and paid q glowing
tribute to the true worth of the man.
Mr.. Swearjngen made strong plea
for the improvement of the educa-
tional system of the State. His ad-
dress was an able one and furnished
\ much food for thought. There is no
more popular State official with the
people of Lexington than Mr.. Swear
ingen. He received a very large vote
in this county in his race last sum-
mer, and made many new friends by
his visit last night.
The exercises by the school were
excellent. The debate, 'sResolved

A very interesting program has been
arranged and a good time is in store
for all who attend.

lar superintendent of the Lexington

Sheriff Corley's many friends will
be glad to learn that he is recovering

expected.
