ANOTHER YEAR'S WORK ENDED.
Turlington Institute Commencement
Largely Attended?Exercises In
teresting?Winston's Address.
Turlington Institute Com
mencement was a complete suc
cess. Despite the heavy rains
and high water great crowds at
tended each exercise.
The exercises began Thursday
night and consisted in recitations
by the little folks, drills and
marches. The children perlormed
their parts very well indeed and
were greeted with much applause.
The drills and marches added
I much to the program and were
greatly enjoyed bv the large au
dience present. This is the first
commencement in which the little
folks have been permitted to take
a part. They acquitted them
selves with credit to the institu
tion and all concerned and it is
not saying too much to state
that Thursday evening's exercises
was one of the most pleasing
features of the entire commence
ment proceedings.
Friday morning's exercises be
gan with the annual debate on
the following query:
"Resolved, That the Policy of
Expansion is not for the best In
terest of the United States."
The affirmative was ably repre
sented by Messrs. W. H. Pitt
man and G. D. Peele, of the Eu
phemian Society. The Philo
mathic Society's representatives,
Messrs. It. S. Stevens and L. II.
, Champion defended the negative
vvnn strong; speecnes. i ne com
mittee decided that the negative
won?a verdict for expansion.
In the contest in oratory there
were two speakers, Mr. B. A.
Hocutt, of tlie Phi. Society, and
Mr. A. A. Avcock, of the Eu. So
ciety. Mr. Hocutt's subject was
"The Mission of Our Country in
theProgressof Civilization." Mr.
Aycock spoke on "The Past, the
Present and the Future of the
South." Both were splendid
speeches and were well delivered.
At 3:30 o'clock the Alumni
meeting was held, quite a large
crowd of the former students and
friends of the institution being
present.
The meeting was called to order
by Mr. W. \V. Cole, the President
of the Alumni Association, in a
short address.
Mr. L>. L. Godwin,of Kenly, was
then elected President for the
next year and Prof. Wingate
Underbill, Principal of Castalia
High School was chosen Alumni
speaker for next commencement.
After Mr. Godwin had been
escorted to the rostrum and taken
charge of the meeting, Mr. W. W.
Cole in a few well chosen words j
introduced the Alumni orator,
James A. Wellons, Esq. Mr.
Wellons made a short but able
speech on the Problems of the
Twentwieth Century and their
Solution.
At 4:15 I)r. George T. Winston, |
President of the A. & M. College,
the commencement orator en- j
tered the hall and was escorted
to the rostrum.
He was introduced to the large
audience by our townsman, Con- j
gressman E. W. Pou.
Dr. Winston spoke on the sub
ject of Industrial Education. His
address was an able one and
showed the great possibilities of
agriculture and kindred subjects
in North Carolina. He showed
by his address that he had studied
the conditions in this State and
gave many practical suggestions
how those conditions could be
improved. At the close of his
address recess was taken till 8:30
p. m.
