FJELE DAY WINNERS.
Large Crowds attended Events, Not
withStanding Rain.

BamberS county ScnOOlS was neiu
here Thursday evening and Friday,
and proved a great success in every
particular. Owing to the unfavor-
able conditions in the early morn
ing and throughout the forenoon
the crowd was somewhat smaller
than was expected to attend; but not
withstanding the unfavorable wealth
er conditions, the large school build
ing and yards were taxed to their
capacity, with the representatives of
the various schools of the county. At
every part of the programme, the
school spirit ran high and the differ
ent schools yells were heard on every
side.
At the high school defamation and
recitation contest, Thursday evening,
there were four schools represented
by seven three boys and
four girls. each high school being al
lowed to enter one boy and one girl.
All these did great credit to their re-
spective schools, and it was a diff
cult matter to Judge just who had
won the handsome gold medals. But
after some lengthy deliberation it
was decided that Miss Laura Ray, Of
Denmark school, had won the girls
recitation medal and Samuel Mace, Of
the Ehrhardt school, the boys de-
clainer's medal, with Miss Mamie
Faust, of the Bamberg school, Sec
ond for the recitation medal, and
Jan es Virgins second for the boys.
In addition to the gold medal, Miss
Ray was awarded the five dollars in
gold given by the Peoples bank, of
Bam5erg, for the best recitation by
a high school girl of any of the
schools of the county.
On Friday morning the schools OF
the county assembled at the graded
school building, and after a most
hearty welcome by Hon. B. D. Car
ter, the graded school defamation
and recitation and other mental con-
tests were entered into. In the audi
torium the defamation and recita-
ton contests were held while in the
class rooms the other mental contests
were held. In the defamation and
recitation contest, klugh Faust, CT
the Bamberg school, won first place,
and Louise Copeland, of the Ehr-
