Watauga Democrat Robert C. Rivers, Editor and PnoPimsT on Thursday, Jump 15, 1899. ' Mrs. M. V. Moore, who w ill be rememnered ni i ' 'Betsy j Ha mil ton en't ertu ined a n appreciative audience at tlie Y. M.U. A Hall in Gaatonia on last Friday ' niKht. The Gazette say's she is a sweet, modest, southern gentlewo man and in genuine sj mpa thy with the people whom -she portrnj s so vividly and truly. She is now the only perfect delineator of the old time Southern darkey. She rendered five original recita tions, much to the delight of the audience. The much needed rain com raemed falling on last Satur day night, and continued to fall slowly and gently for two days on the parched and withered earth. How unself ishly it fell on the just and un just alike, and giving n e w life and vigor to the vegeta tion. The humid air, whiVh had been almost unbearable for several days is now cool and refreshing and all nature seems revived. It seems that it would be an encouraging thought for poor boys, striving to make something of themselves that Lieut. Governor Miles Mc Sweeny who will now fill the chair of Gov. Ellerbe of S. C, who died a few days since, was once a printer boy in Charleston, and has succeed ed in working himself into the highest position his state is able to give him. The seventh annual com mencement at the A. & M College on the 7th, nineteen young tren were graduated from this excellent institu tion, and five members of the senior Has delivered ora tions. President Holiday was presented with a handsome gold watch bv the members of the faculty. The North Carolina Car Company, of Raleigh, h a 8 gone into bankruptcy. The liabilities approximate $50, 000, of which $36,000 is in the shape of a mortgage to cover an issue of bonds for that amount. The owners of the plant elaim that the as sets will equal the liabilities. The payment of insurgent soldiers in Havana goes on slowly. It was reported Sat urday that 176 men received . the $75 allotted to each sol dier, turning in their arms, and 44 applicants vere rejec ted for various causes. Senator Hanna has left tor Europe to try to getielief Horn rheumatism. An ex change remarks that if he would take his influence for evil with him and remain o- ver there, our country would be better off. Mr. A. C. Scott, of New berry, S. C", who died recent ly, bequeathed 500 to' the Thomasville Orphanage. I is truly gratifying the "lifts" our public institutions are getting in this, the close o this wonderful centurv. Friendly relations again ex 1st between the United States and Spain. The new minister has arrived from that . conn try and has been given a cor dial reception at the White House. His name is Duke D Arcos. , .' .:.'V:- .- The Sunday School Institute. , Editor Democrat. lV'rsuant, toannouncement the Sunday School Institute came off at Cove Creek on the 6th and 7th inst. and I. believe ihat every one pres ent will say that it was a very pleasant, and it is hop ed, profitable session, espec- laity lor tnose interested in Sunday School work. Rev.U. W. Spillman, .who conducted the Institute, is a young' man who is devoting his time, under direction of the Baptist State, Board of Missions and Sunuay Schools to the special work of train ing and preparing teachers a ltd Sunday School workers, arid to assist in establishing Sundoy Schools in isolated places. To show the impor tance and magnitude of this work, statistics tell us that theie nre in North Carolina near 400,000 children, and a great raanv adults, who do not attend Sunday School. Quite a good crowd was in attendance on Tuesday, and the exercises consisted main ly of lectures and practical illustrations how to study the Bible to the best advan tage, demonstrating the fact that when intelligently stud ied, instead of being a very dry book, as some think, al most every page becomes in tensely interesting. On Wednesday a still larg er crowd was on the grounds and Mr. Spillman gave a prac tical illustration of the best methods of teaching, bv or ganizing a class of grown peo pie nun studying a lesson as if in Sunday School.' After this a bountiful dinner was spread, to which the large crowd did ample justice. In Tthe afternoon how to teach the Bible to children was discussed and shown in a very interesting way by Mr. Spillman taking a class of bright little girls and stud ying a rsalm with them. Al- hongh using a subject o n which they nan no prepara- t . k ion. the class did themselves and their parents and teach rs great credit, showing TO Cough You have used all sorts of cough reme dies but it does not yield; it is too deep seated It may wear itself out in time, but it is more liable to produce la grippe, pneumonia or a seri ous throat affection. You need something that vill give you strength and build up the body. SCOTT'S EMULSION j will do this when evcrylhinrj I else fails. There is no doubt about it It nourishes, strengthens, builds up and mskes the body strong and healthy, not only to throw off this hard cough, but to fortiry the system against further attacks. If you are run down or emaciated you should certainly take this nourishing food medicine. y a.id ' l rx bI druci SCO.TT ii UOWNK. i'h,j 1 rv York. that they had been carefully trained aril instructed. On the whole I think that all will say that this was a very enjoyable occasion, and it is hoped that the Sunday School work has been mate rially encouraged arid ad vanced by Mr. Spillman's.vis it. People were present from all f sections ,of. the county, and the good people of Cove Creek entertained them sp'.en didly, and only seemed disap pointed in nptbaving more guests to take into their homes. J..- r Mr Spillman goes f r o m here to Ashe ahd Wilkes coun tieB to hold institutes, and we hope to have him with us again next year. J.C. Houton. Horton, luue 8. Examination of Teacberi in Watauga.
