growth Of Sumter In indissolubly con-
nected with the growth OF st. Joseph's
Academy and the educational work
Of the institution among the people OF
the city" said the speaker. He told
his audience that there were among
them grandmothers who had received
their education at the academy, whose
grandchildren were attending the in
stitution at the present time. He told
Of the coming OF the little band OF
sisters from Charleston. which place
they left during the bombardment to
avoid the shells which were being
thrown into the city. They had come
to Sumter and settled down In the lit
tie building. now used as a kitchen.
around which the present well known
institution had been built. using the
nrsk little house as a nucleus.
He complimented the Academy In
glowing terms for the fine work which
had done and expressed a wish
that II might long continue to live In
~ s"~s~s' v" VI NhV PtOpit
among them. He told OF the growth
OF Sumter snce the coming of ST.
Joseph's Academy In 1859 and how
u. had helped the town In It's growth
and how the people OF Sumter. Of ev-
cry faith and creed had supported and
aided the institution which had be-
come so dear to them.
He referred TO the fact that Sum
ter. had not been burned by the fed
ersi troops under Gen. Potter. when
they passed here. as they had burned
Columbia. This was due to the fact
that members OF the sisterhood had
been TO Gen. Potter and with tears In
their eyes begged his leniency which
nj their entreaty he had granted.
