An automobile owner of Sumter
he took stage fright when he realized

moreover that the tournament is

can help in this advertisement. Here
are some of his notions.
In an hours time six Of seven hun

pie.
Have a parade, the rear Of each

COKER COLLEGE COMMENCE.

dent Badly Resigns.

Hartsville, May 24.-The second
session of Coker College came to a
close today with the graduating ex-
ercises at noon. On Sunday the COM
the Rev. Robert w. Lide, Of Darling
ton, to an audience which crowded
the large Baptist church. His theme
was: 1.-The Way of Success and
Achievement is the Straight Way; the
Way of Eternal Life Involves the
Spirit of Self-denial and Self-sacri-
fice." The music at this service was
especially fine.
On Monday the art reception was
held at the College at $3.50 o'clock in
the afternoon, under the direction of
Miss Thomas, the teacher. The dis
play at this reception was a delight
and revelation to the many who at
tended. Immediately after the pres
ident's levee was held on the college
campus, at which were gathered the
friends and patrons of the school.
At o'clock Monday night the coll
lege concert was given in the audi
torium and participated in by the en-
tire student body. The numbers were
rendered in most excellent manner
and it was, on the whole one Of the
best concerts given in this place.
Today at 10 o'clock the commence
ment exercises proper were held at
the auditorium and the following
were given certificates in the business
department: Misses Odessa Wall,
Bessie Carter and Lola King. The
president made short address to the
assembly and then introduced the
Hon. Il. B. Fraser of Sumter, the or
ator of the occasion Mr.. Fraser's
address dealt with the denomination
al college and pointed out the value
Of the denomination school as con-
trasted with the State and independ-
ent college. He paid high tribute to
the State institution, but emphasized
the fact that there was a place for
the denominational college which it
only could fill. The address was
most thoughtful and enjoyable one.
Major j. l.. Coker addressed the
audience after this, congratulating the
faculty and pupils on the high class
Of work done during the mast session
and expressing confidence in the fu-
ture of the college.
DR.. Baldy, who has been president
for the last two years and who has
labored most faithfully for it's up
building and has beyond doubt laid
splendid foundation for it's future
growth, has resigned, to devote all of
his time to the ministry.

Lewisburg, w. Va, May 2i.-Faced
with a division amongst leaders that
seemed well-neigh irr econcilable, the
General Assembly of the Southern
Presbyterian Church today postponed
for one year action on the question
Of the attitude Of the Church toward
marriage and divorce. The resolution
for postponemert was based on the
fact there is not sufficient time for
thorough deliberation on such an i'm
portant subject"
The same committee which has had
the subject under consideration for q
year was continued. That committee
had been unable to agree on a report,
two Of it's members being in favor OF
the Assembly keeping hands off the
matter, two in favor Of RECOGNIZING
only adultery as a ground for divorce,
but allowing the guilty party" to
remarry when the Church was con-
vinced Of his reptenance. and two had
not made up their minds on the SUBJ
ject.
To remedy this condition, DR.. r. A.
Webb, Of Louisville, KY; DR.. w. T.
Hall, of Columbia, S. c., and T. r.
Sampson, Of Austin, Texas, were ad-
ded to the committee.
During the day Louisville, KY, was
chosen for the next place Of meet
ing.
The commission to pass on the COM
plaint of the Rev. w. J. Sinnott,
against the Northern Presbytery Of
Alabama, decided adversely to the
minister. The Presbytery had declar-
ed in favor of the prohibition amend
ment in Alabama, after the complain
ant, the commission was told, had ex-
pressed views publicly against prohi-
bition.
The minority of the commission are
fighting against a report that might
have the appearance Of giving appro-
val to the Church sanctioning an issue
in political campaign.
The first clash on the floor in re-
gard to women in the Church occur
red when DR.. E. P. Davis, Of Green
vile, S. c., chairman of the commit
tee on women's societies reported in
favor of the organization of Synodi-
cal societies for women. DR.. w. e.
