rrr&m Stye igl)arlotte (Dbgerger THURSDAY, JUNE 26. 1879. . KING'S HIGII SCHOOL. Report of tbe Commencement Exer cises Iast Week. Correspondence of The Observer. . What were life without its seasons of recreation and enjoyment? without an occasional change from the very-day treadmill of stern realities we have to encounter in a world of toil and strife t Such a season has just thrown its light across the threshold of this community in the commencement exercises of the King's Mountain High School. The an nual visitation of this event has become to be a gala day in our midst, not only to the student, who perhaps has been counting the days when the session would end, in anticipation of his or her return to the loved ones at home, but even the aged matron and the grey bearded farmer convert it into a day of recreation. It is a day we prepare for here. By a little earnest effort before hand, the crop is pronounced to be in condition to justify laying aside the im plements of toil ; the stores are closed, that clerks and proprietors may alike participate in the occasion ; the doctor looks uneasy, lest some urgent call should demand his presence elsewhere, and thus all classes and ages join in de voting one day to the interest they feel in education. The exercises were introduced by a concert on Friday night, the 19th of June, under the management of the musical instructress, Miss Katie Pat ton, of South Carolina. With no desire to natter, I can but award great praise to this accomplished lady in her man agement of the entertainment. It was what might be termed a starlight con cert, aided by lesser lights of man's con struction in the shape of lamps and wax candles. A large platform had been erected in front of the academy building, which was carpeted and a por tion of it enclosed with curtains, in which enclosure were enacted the tab leaux scenes, which were splendid, and among the most admired I will men tion " The Divorce of Josephine," " The Wreath of Beauty," and " The Baptism of Pocahontas." The instrument upon which the young ladies of the school performed occupied a prominent posi tion upon the platform, and the exer cises in this respect certainly indicated tutelage by a skilful hand. As I listen ed the thought of the poet possessed me, that music hath charms to soothe the savage breast" disowning, however, to being a savage myself. MissPatton has a fine voice, and when she led her pupils to the front of the platform, nearly all of them dressed in white, and mingled their voices in singing the anthem. " Great is the Lord," my thoughts went upward, and in imagination could see the angels upon the battlements of Heaven, repeating the same chorus for the hearing of a sinful world. The con cert closed with a scene of representa tion of wax figures, under the control of Mis Rebecca Bayer, alias Mrs. Jar ley, which exceedingly amused the au dience. I would not omit mentioning one of the concert pieces, " Mortgaging the Farmland while the whole selec tion was fine, this piece ierhaps caused more merriment than any other. The head of the family was represented by Prof. R. S. Collins, of penmanship noto riety, and the old gentleman (for old he looked to be) seemed greatly distressed at the idea of having to mortgage his farm to satisfy the extravagancies of the daughters, and so plaintively did he pour forth this fact into theirs of his assumed better half, that a feeling of sympathy was aroused in our hearts for the aged couple. Saturday, June 21st, was commence ment day, and at an early hour our streets were thronged with visitors from afar and near. At 8 o'clock the cadets of the school, under the command of their principal, Capt W. T. R. Bell, formed into ranks ana marched to the suburbs of the vil lage to escort in the Cleaveland Guards from Shelby When these two military bodies formed together and marched to , the martial strain of the Dallas brass band, in their yet unsoiled uniforms, the days of 1861 were recalled, when war was in it3 infancy, and untried pa triotism the occupant of every Southern breast The exercises of the day were opened by a trial drill in the manual of arms by six of the best drilled cadets of the school, consisting of the following young gentlemen: W. W. Boyce, W. D. Montgomery, W. A. Thomason, L. 11. AVeeks, of South Carolina; J.Xee Love, C. Q. Petty, Jr., of North Carolina! This was a very interesting feature in tne days exercises. The test for championship was to be determined in this way : The six were brought to the front of the stage and placed under command of Lieut. O. G. Falls, whose duty it became to conduct the drill. When a . false command was given (which was done purposely to mislead) any one of the contesting six who obey ed or attempted to obey the said com mand was to leave the contest, as also when a proper command was given any failing to execute it properly was to, step aside. When the contestants were reduced to two, viz : W. W. Bovce and C. Q. Petty, the interest became quit exciting, not from preference, hut Jjotbr had displayed such skill in the manual of arms, an anxiety naturally pervaded the audience to know who would be the victor. After a contest of considerable time Boyce failed in one command and victory crowned Petty's laurels amidst the cheers of the crowd. The same cheers would have accompanied victory w wo unuci. xu aiiuw wits uiseipnne or. the well-drilled, soldier, amidst the cheers and congratulations at the ter mination of the contest, Lieut. Falls thinking it perhaps unnecessary to give any further commands, Petty knowing the duty of the true soldier, still re mained with his gun in position to fire his face wearing the smile of victory this being the position the last com mand had placed him in. He was the mcture of the well-drilled soldier in deed. The next .on. the programme came the orations by a number of the young gen tlemen of the school. These were well deliverecUhowing an acquaintance with history and depth of thought The hour appointed for the Rev. W. M. Robey, who had been selected by the Delta Society to deliver an address on the occasion, had now arrived. I feel incomMtent'tn rieniria tinnn !: tnoifii- ouuiosa.

Its success has been remarkable when we take into consideration that three years ago it had a beginning. Capt Bell, the principal, is wide-awake in his line Hf understands the system: of school gov ernment He relies more upon a boy s honor and pride than upon' written rules. Disturbances seldom nat the harmony of his school government; and he informs me that not an instance has noma to his knowledge duruurthe last ten months when one of his pupils has drank ardent spirits. The next session will open the litn or August. Respectfully, Rob Roy. STATE NEWS. Statesville is about to have a debat ing society. Five hundred people attended the ! open air meeting in y umingion ljtst Sunday. The Wilkesboro Witness has suspen ded. It was a cross between a Greene- backer and a Radical. i Wilmington's German citizens have organized a gymnasium club, with Jno. G. Oldenbuttel president Mr, Henry Biggs, of Robeson county, was fired upon from the road side as he rode along, but fortunately escaped unhurt Mr. LaFayette Weaver, an aged and respected citizen of the Snow Creek neighborhood, Iredell county, died on the 13th. The last regatta of the season, before the annual regatta on the 4th of July, at Wilmington, was had Monday. The race was won by the yacht Rosa. The Salisbury District Conference, M. E. Church, South, will be held at Statesville, embracing the first Sunday in August; beginning on Wednesday evening before. A negro named Paschall Lunsford was committed to Ilillsboro jail last Monday, charged with having been found secreted under the bed of a Mrs. Lea. on Flat river, in Orange county, with felonious purpose. The Durham Recorder gives the sto ry of five burglaries, attempts at burg lary, attempt at highway robbery, &c all committed within the past two weeks in Orange county, three of them in and immediately around Ilillsboro. The Robesonian says that on Tuesday night of last week Mr. J. F. McKay, of Robeson county, had the misfortune to have his dwelling and a large part of its contents destroyed by fire. Carelessness of a servant, who left a box of ashes in the cook room, was the cause of the fire. Bishop Atkinson has abandoned Ui.s purpose of going to Europe. After ta king passage and arranging his ex change, he found that Mrs. Atkinson's health was too precarious to justify the fatigue of a sea voyage, and so he has gone to Saratoga for perhaps a fort night. Wilmington Star: Fifteen persons joined the Front Street M. E. church, Sunday morning, and nine were bap tised, being some of the fruits of the great revival still in progress there. This makes sixty-three that have con nected themselves with the church within the past ten days. Under the caption, "A Normal School Pedestrian "the Raleigh News says that last Monday morning a teacher made his appearance at the University, hav ing journeyed on foot one hundred and thirty-six miles, from his home in one of the eastern counties. He expects to walk back after the school closes. Lumberton Robesonian : Mr. Joseph Regan, of Howellsville township, who was in town last Friday, reports snow at his house last Thursday afternoon. He says it continued to fall for some length of time, very fine at first, but in creasing to very large flakes. Others report frost in this vicinity last Friday morning, and indeed it seemed almost cold enough for frost. Durham Recorder : On Thursday a week ago Sheriff Hughes Sent his grandson, Jesse Hughes, to the western pait of the county to make some collec tions. On his return he was stopped af ter nightfall by some one who demand ed his money. Young Hughes, though unarmed, made a demonstration to draw a pistol, upon which,-the robber told him he was not the man he was after, and Hughes then put spurs to his horse and dashed off. The robber was evidently, from his language, , a negra Statesville' Landmark : The colored people or btatesville, have organized a memorial association: They celebrated Saturday as memorial day. A large pro Cession, composed of probably three hundred, paraded through the streets in the afternoon, headed by the States ville colored cornet band.

There was a great bond fire at the treasury department yesterday. The Governor, the Attorney General, Capt Dudley, principal clerk in the Secretary of fState's office, Mr. Partin, chief ulerk in ithe auditor's i department, Donald Bain, chief clerk of the treasury, and I few bystanders, witnessed the crema tion of the Old bonds to make way for the new, The bonds were called ofL checked' and piled up," and Governor jarya applied the match.
