poLIrE oovEaNMENT LAwyEas:

ArbuckIe Brothers have made resti-
tuition to the Government, swelling the
conscience fund to the extent Of over
half million. to. the end that they
may head on the discovery Of further
sugar frauds. This Is probably only
very small part Of the stealings, but
attorneys for the Government always
appear willing to take anything they
can get, especially when an investiga-
tion promises to lead to gentlemen
higher up. II has been estimated that
the stealings Of the American Sugar
Refining Company reached the inn
pressive total Of thirty million. but
we believe It was only a couple Of
million that the Government got out
Of It,
Messrs. Stimson and Dennison, spe-
cial counsel for the Government, gave
cut statement in part as follows:
I'm June last, we commenced an
investigation as to the weights on
which duties we're paid on sugar land
cd on the docks Of the sugar REIN
cry OF Mcssrs. Arbuckle Brothers in
the port OF New York. The members
OF that firm voluntarily gave US ac-
cess TO their books. and a thorough
investigation was made Of those books
and Of the customs house record.
eAs a result a shortage was report
ed TO the members OF the firm and as
soon as they had verified the Govern
ment figures they voluntarily offered
to pay this sum without suit, into the
treasury Of the United States Gov
eminent
Naive, is II not? When the short
age was reported to members Of the
firm, and they were shown by the
bookseller own books--that their
stealings were known to Government
officials, they voluntarily offered to
give the Government a check covering
part OF the rake-off they had en-
loved for a period Of several years
In other words, when the Arbuckles
were shown where they were caught
with the goods on. they were willing
to pay what these captains OF indus
try regard as a comparatively small
amount TO have the noise stopped.
We take II that Messrs. stimson and
Dennison apologized properly for the
annoyance they may have caused the
offending importers. and that they adj
mirristered to them a very thorough

PROSPERITY COMMENCEMENT.
Highly Creditable Essays by the
Three Graduates s-Address By
Prof. Derrick.

Prosperity, May 6.-The commence
ment exercises on Friday evening
were very successful. The three grad
uates. Misses Jane Russell and Mary
Wheeler and Mr.. Vernon Wheeler,
delivered their essays very creditably
indeed.
Miss Russell's theme was "Don It
Give Up the Ship She cited such
men as Alexander, Washington, Law
renee, ct al, and how they held on to
the ship and conquered through try
ing situations.
Miss Wheeler's paraphrase of
"Thanatopsis" was a very happy
one. She showed the effect Of ma
ture upon human nature and pictured
death, not as an Imprisonment, but
a wrapping of the drapery Of ones
couch around him and laying down
to pleasant dreams.
Mr.. Vernon Wheeler gave a vivid
picture of Louis court and extrava-
gances, and the condition leading up
to the utterance of the reckless SEN
tence, "After us the deluge.' He
recounted past events and predicted
another deluge as the result Of the
amassing of fortunes like Roekefel-
ler's ,Harriman's and others Of count
less wealth.
The diplomas we're presented by
Supt. Wheeler in the usual felicitous
way he has Of weaving their own
words and thoughts into his personal
remarks to each graduate.
The address by Prof. Derrick was
practical, pithy and graceful. Every
one was delighted with his remarks.
He held the audience throughout the
discourse. His subject was :"The
Proper Function Of the Present: Day
Schools He showed the various
things all schools should stand Tor,
and other phases Of the all impor-
tant school question, with here there
a flash of wit or humor.

1 note that in the record the South
Carolina College association among
the graduates that were killed during
the war between the States is the
name of Captain W. L. Lang, but not
when and where he was killed. Cap
tain Lang and I belong to the same
brigade, the to the 5th and I to the 4th
Texas cavalry. A comrade, writing
to me, says of him, "He was brave
to a fault, and one of the most ac-
complished gentlemen I ever knew" "
Before the war The represented Falls
county in the Texas legislature and
was member thereof when killed.
He raised and equipped a company
of cavalry and joined the 5th Texas
regiment. At his own expense he
equipped and armed his company and
furnished them with horses; he armed
his company with lances and SIX
shooters. At the battle of Val Verde,
New Mexico, on the 21st of Feb,
1862, he made cavalry charge where
he was killed. I saw the charge and
at the same time my 1st lieut., David
Reid Mccormick, nephew of David
Reid, of Newberry, was killed.
When good men are mentioned, the
names of Drs. P. B. Ruff and Thos.
W. Thompson should never be omit
ted. They were well known for their
professional skill, intelligence, enthus-
iasm, humanity, courage and science.
DR.. Rufus articles in the annals
are specially interesting. DR.. Thomp-
son and were at the same time Or
dained elders in Thompson Street A.

Writing of 50 many old people in
Newberry, I thought of the following
lines in Holmes poem, "The Last
Leaf.'
"But now the walks the streets,
And he looks at all he meets,
Sad and wan;
And he shakes his feeble head,
That it seems as if he said,
'They are gone
"The messy marbles rest
On the lips that he has pressed
In their bloom;
And the names he loved to hear
Have been carved for many year
On the tomb!'
