HARBISON BOOTH TAKES j FIRST PLACE AT SOUTH CAROLINA STATE FAIR It will be interesting to our readers to learn of the fine rec ord Harbson’s Booth made at the State Fair. Almost every thing took first premium, so much so until the booth as a whole received the first place of recognition. This booth con tained our farm products, grain, livestock and many other things, such as class room work, along with a typical boys’ room, all of which made a most excellent showing. Prof. J. M. Jones is due much credit for the splendid work accomplished during the summer months. President Porter was on the job and spared no pains in making everything attractive. Dr. I. P. Pogue, of Sumter, S. C., addressed the faculty and student body on the morn ing of October 29th. This ad dress will long be remembered by all who heard him. Dr. and Mrs. G. W. Long and Prof. Henry Marshall, of Che raw, were on the campus a few days ago on their way to Cor dele, Ga., to attend the Synod. They were joined by Mrs. D. T. Murray, who also attended the Synod. The play given by the 3rd year High School class last Monday night in the Institute Chape1, under the direction of Prof. Roy Cunningham, reflect ed much credit upon the class. This play is entitled “Peggy’s Love.” Rev. D. Talmage Murray preached for Rev. Porter the first Sabbath in November. His choir from Little Mountain church furnished the music. REPORTER.
