Capt. Hobson, the Orator 0}
the Occasion Pays High Tri
bute to Rev. Dr. Stagg—Dr.
and Mrs, Stagg Received at
Commencement Reception.
To Mr. John W. Stagg, jr.. The News
Is Indebted for an invitation to the
commencement exercises at the Ala
bama Presbyterian College. Captain
Richmond I’earson Hobson waa the
commencement orator. The Age-Her-
ald’s si>ecial from Anniston says;
“Captain Hobson paid a striking
tribute to the work acomplished at the
Alabama Presbyterian College for Men
Tuesday afternoon, when he arose to
deliver the annual commencement ad
dress.
•‘He said that in his opinion, the
small college and Ihe rural elementary
schools are the best mediums of educa
tional efficiency. He said that less
than 1 per cent of the population of
the United States is college bred, but
that over 7.000 of the 10,000 leaders
arc college men, most of whom have
bctn trained up in the small coilege3.
“Captain Hobson also paid a marked
tribute' to Dr. J. W. Sta^g and vrif;
work he is doing as head of the local
college.
"Dr. Stagg presided at the exercises
which were held at the Now' Xobla
theatre, and delivered the dii)lo:nas to
C. r. Leach. E. H. C’areton, B. i^. Al
ien, \V. D. i?ankey and R. K. Ellioti,
the members of the senior class.
“Captain Hobson’s address w'as
along his usual lines, he having held
up the dream of world-wide peace
throuph the maintenance of a large
navy. World peace will come, how’ever,
he argued, only through international
co-operation, and that will be contin
gent largely upon armament.
"As Captain Hobson entered f.pon
his address he created some amuse
ment by allowing his big mvy enthus
iasm to cau?e him to undertake to
refute the arguments of Mr. Elliott,
who had drawn a roseate picture of dia-
armamcni and international amity. He
had dwelt particularly on the great
financial burden of war. Captain Hob-
son said .thai in several instances big
..avies would have averted wars, and
th'-’.s obvinted the big pensions, w'bich
have ag?:rrccn'^eed $6,000,000 in the
I'nited States.
“So enthui^Iastic did Cat tain Hobson
become that the perspiratioii began to
i;otn* off him. and l:ogf,ing the pardon
of the ladies present ho shucked his
cort. speaking for two hours alon"
the lines of his hoboy.’’
Reception at College.
FoUowmg the commencement was a
reception, described by the Anniston
paper as a ‘Notable Aftair.’’ and noted
thi'.s:
“The Anriston College for Men pro
sented a scene full of charm and bril
liancy on Saturday evening, when tl;e
recrption for the senior class was h^^ld
from 8:30 to 11:?0 o’clock.
“In the reception w’ere Dr. and Mrs.
.7ohn \V. Stagg. the genial and honor
ed president of the college, and his his
wife.

evening was enjoyed after the guesis

Boll Weevil
By Associated Press.
Tallulah. La., June 5.—The torrid
weather of the past week has been ef
fective in putting a big per cent of the
dreaded cotton boll weevils out of bu
siness. The tests conducted by the
Delta Boll Weevil Laboratory, under
the direction of G. D. Smith, of the
United States Bureau of Entomology,
indicates that the bug has 'sustained
ita most serious setback since its in
vasion of this territory. Of the wee
vils placed in hibernating cages last
fall, half of 1 per cent only have
emerged against 1 1-2 per cent last
season, showing that the per cent sur
viving is considerably smaller.
