All the teachers return except Miss
Mildred Cunningham, ,whodid not ap-

to give Miss Cunningham up; she is
model teacher and young woman
a great addition to any community
which secures her services.
Thus closed what has been, per-
haps, the most successful year of the
school, taking everything into consid-
eration. The enrolment is 15S, with
with 80 in the high school. Much
permanent improvement has been
made and several new ideas are be-
ing developed during the summer.
More than twelve units work was
accomplished, which places this
school in the rank with 2S schools in
the State which made twelve or
more and leaves this the only rural
school in South Carolina making this
record. The patrons and trustees are
pleased with the record and are CIV
ing their support as Loyalty as ever.

Benson. June l2;-The rain has
come and gone. but the downfall
was not evenly distributed over the
country. Not infrequently neigh
bors living within two miles of each
other, the one got enough to thor
oughly wet the earth; the other just
enough to lay the dust. However,
the moisture was sufficient to bring

Messrs R S Tisdale and w T Phil
lips had some very fine hogs of the
Essex blood feeding in q field where
wheat and oats had been planted.
After the grain was harvested the
swine were free to CLEAN where they
would, but a calamity befell those
belonging to Mr. Tisdale and seven
head died without warning. The
very next day Mr. Phillips also had
the same number, seven, to die.
Mr. Tisdale's hogs stole away from
home and went into Mr. Phillips's
field to eat wheat and died, but the
peculiar coincidence is that seven
of each mans herd should die, leav-
ing the others apparently doing
well. The question arises. is wheat q
good diet for hogs? The first symp-
tom of the sickness was to heave
several times and then vomit, when
they would become perfectly helpless
and soon die. They were dosed
with EPSON salts and black-draught
(stock medicine) to relieve them, but
it failed. Some one thought per-
haps it was an attack of acute in
digestion. This might or might
not have been the case; yet it forces
a smile when one tries to conceive
of hogs having indigestion, acute
or otherwise.

recital of Misses Emily Brockinton,

four young ladies had completed the
five years course in piano offered by
the school and were awarded a GER
tifcate from this department. They
had been under the direction OF Miss
Nettie Huff for the session and re-
fected credit upon all of their teach
ers in the music department.
The sermon was preached by Rev
ES Jones of Georgetown, who also
preached Sunday night. Both SER
mons were excellent and exceedingly
appropriate. Mr. Jones speaks with
ease and grace.
AS Judges in the oratorical con-
test held Monday evening, an account
of which has already appeared IN

A C Kinds, ESQ, and Mr. R N Speig-
ner of Kingstree and Prof Ritter OF

pirate talk in delivering the medal
to the young man whs won the prize.
Prof Ritter delivered the medal to
the successful younglady in a grace
full manner. aoeentuated by several

More than five hundred people

The literary address by Hon F B
Gary was strongly practical and en-
couragirg. Pity tits that there are
not more such citizens as he. We
need such nobility and strength of
character to-day manifold.
The graduates were: Misses Flor
enee Emily Brockinton, Amy Louise
Eaddy, Annie Belle Moyd, Florence
Julia Hemingway, Emmie Snow,
Louise Wilson and Mr. A H Haddock.
Hon B B Chandler made an excel
lent talk preparatory to awarding
the scholarship medal. He is chair
man of the board of trustees and the
best in the State, we are sure. No
trustee is more interested in his
school than is Mr. Chandler. The
success of the school is largely due
to his personal supervision.
Miss Willie Snow, eighth grade,
made an average of 9S.739 and was
awarded the scholarship medal. In
