No Early Adjournment.

Washington, May 22.-Shivers
have been chasing themselves up and
down the spinal columns of members
who must face serious contests In
their States or districts If they come
back to the next Congress, ever since
John Dwight, the Republican whip Of
the House of Representatives, issued
his prediction that the present ses.
sion would not adjourn before July
Is.
Even the most pessimistic members
had thought there would be little
difficulty in getting away by the end
of June, but a week has passed since
Mr.. Dwight made his forecast, and in
that time little progress has been
made. That the prediction was made
as a bluff for the purpose of impell-
ing both branches of Congress to be-
stir themselves was believed by the
Congressional leaders, but there is
danger now that the session will run
well into July.

ACCUSED OF STEALING WATCH
o. P. Sasser, of Branchville, Arrested
by Express Company Detective.

Branchville, May 19.-Yesterday
morning o. P. Sasser was arrested
and taken in charge by a detective
for the Southern Express company
and carried to st. George, where he
was arraigned in the court Of Magis-
trste Moorer, on the charge of steal
ing a gold watch from the Southern
Express company on or about Decem-
Der %, 1909. It is reported that
Sasser, on being arraigned in the
magistrates court, entered plea OF
guilty and that the magistrate i'm
mediately fixed bail in the sum Of
$1,000. Sasser could not give the
bond and was committed to the coun-
ty jail, there to await trial at the next
session of the criminal court for
Dorchester county.
Sasser held the position as lineman
for the Western Union Telegraph
company and has been boarding at
one place here for the past three
years.
It is reported that the theft was
committed while Sasser was riding
on the car of the express company as
the train was going to Charleston on
the 23rd of last December and while
the train was running through the
county of Dorchester. The package
was missed on arrival of the express
train in Charleston and suspicion at
once pointed to Sasser, who was con-
stantly watched from that time to the
evening of the 18th, when the detec-
tive for the express company came
here and had a talk with Sasser in
his room at the hotel and afterwards
took him to an officer here. It is re-
ported that Sasser made statement
under oath that he stole the watch
and that his reason for so doing was
that he was in a state Of intoxica-
ton.
Sasser is from a good family of
people, who live in. North Carolina.
It is reported that Sasser was seen
by one of his friends here, who went
to the county Jail to's see him and who
said that he seemed quite Indifferent
and did not seem to realize the Sc
rious condition in which he was in.

GRADED SCHOOL CLOSING
CLASS DAY EXERCISES HELD
LAST FRIDAY MORNING.
Essays Read by the Graduates-Ad
dress by Hon. S. G. Mayfield.
Diplomas Presented.

The class day exercises Of the
Bamberg graded school took place in
the large auditorium last Friday
morning at 1890 o'clock, and
promptly on time there had assembl-
ed large crowd of the fathers and
mothers of the pupils as well as
other friends of the school, the au-
ditorium being well filled.
The exercises were opened with
prayer by Rev. o. J. Frier, pastor Of
the Bamberg Baptist church, after
which the salutatory was read by
Miss Nettie Sandifer. Then came a
song by a chorus.
Superintendent E. Paul Allen also
spoke a few words Of welcome and
explained that the diplomas which
would be presented to the gradu-
ating class were given by the State
high school board and were signed
by the governor, State superintend-
ent of education, and the high school
inspector. These diplomas were
awarded to the graduates Of such
high schools as made certain per-
centage of units in the course OF
study mapped out for high schools,
and it is gratifying to note in this
connection that Bamberg stood fifth
among the high schools Of the State.
The class history was read by
Miss Dot Adams, the class prophecy
was assigned to Miss Elewellyn Zeig-
Ter, the class poem by Miss Pearle
Rice, and the class will by Mr..
Marion Cooner, the lone boy in the
class.
Then an instrumental solo was
rendered by Miss Leonard Folk, af-
ter which Superintendent Allen in
troduced Hon. S. G. Mayfeld, who
delivered strong, sensible address
to the graduating class. Mr.. May
fields remarks were most timely, and
he was warmly applauded.
An instrumental duet was rem
dered by Misses Annie Lou Byrd and
| Leonard Folk, and then Superinten-
dent Allen delivered the diplomas
to the graduating class. In doing
so he gave the members Of the class
some good advice.
Prizes were then presented to pu-
pills in Mrs. Murdaugh's room. Each
year Mrs. Murdaugh gives a medal
for the best average in scholarship,
and for three years this medal has
been won by Miss Edith Rice, a
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. G. A. Rice,
her record being from 95 to 81. Mrs.
Murdaugh also gives prize for
punctuality and attendance, and for
three years this prize has been won
by Miss Nell Black, daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Thos. Black. During
all this time she has not missed a
day or been late a single morning,
truly a remarkable record. The
medal presented Miss Rice was OF
gold and beautiful design, suitably
engraved, and the prize to Miss Black
was lovely gold locket.
The exercises closed with the vale
dictory by Miss Julien Easterling,
and a. farewell chorus. The papers
of the graduating class were very
creditable and showed much thought
and care in their preparation.
