well may it be so, for Mt. Pleasant, .
ber people and institutions fssl a
pardonable pride in tbs excellence of
these occasions, and extend a wide- .
open door welcome to all friends to
come and enjoy these days. -
It is not our purpose to have "the
best commencement in the history
of the institutions," but the young la- :
dies snd the young men together with '
invited speakers of note will furnish
a most intensely interesting program. -We
do think more thorough prepara
tion has ever been made thaa that
put on the work this year. This mora
ing at ten o'clock the Mt. Pleasant
Cornet Band will play the' opening
overture followed by the Deelaimers'
Contest. At three o'clock this after
noon, President Mitchell, of South
Carolina University will deliver tha
Literary Address before the Ludwig
and Gerhardt Societies. At eight
o'clock tonight the curtain will rise
on the one really big feature, "Ingo

It will be good, the best testimonial wo
have to offer, and deserves a big house
which we doubt not will ' be easily
forthcoming.
