At 8 o'clock he convention was called to or- cr again and the balloting was egun with the same result as in the afternoon. All nfohvtontr he Lallots were - taken without any material change. A GOOD-NATURED CROWD. Aside from 1 the child-likeness of the proceedings, it was inter esting, especially ; the vote of Granville arid "Alamance, which was divided the three candidates each receiving a fraction of vote, and the delegate became so used to calling it out that he almost made a song of it. Amid all the contest, the best tpti feeling fpre vailed and the whole crowd seem ed in the best of humor." At noon today( . Tuesday, the convention was still in session and no change in the vote. After adjournment for dinner, ; the meeting Vas palled to' order, at 2 o'clock to resume the voting. The end is not yet id sight! I ' Fran loison tsstt Ra. L " Mr. andMrs, J. ' F. Yearns spent lastSaturdayTiight with his mother Mrs. Ida Beams,' and a tended the union, meeting at Flat River on the 5th Sunday. ' i Most of the farmers have gone over their corn and tobacco .the first time arid some have started over the second time1 The crop is cow looking very, promising. I had the. pleasure .of attend ing the union' meeting at Flat River Primitive Baptist Church on the 6th Sunday, and the crowd was estimated to be T about 2000 people. Some one asked Mr. R. A. Allen how old the church house was and he ' said that it was about 200 years old,' and the chimney that stands at the west end of the house is something like 30 feet high and is the only church that we know of that has a chimney for its beating capaci ty. It is said that Elders Monk, Pead and Hall, -who did ' the preaebing, ware - at theirs b?st, aril" the good old "saints had their spiritual strength renewed as . there was much old time shouting in the camp, and every want of roan was supplied in the eating line. On last Tuesday an unknown negro broke into the house of Mr. Thomas Gentry and stole $25.00, all the money that Mr. Gentry had, and the thief has not been captured up to this writing. Mr. and Mrs. Hubert Pearce, of Durham, spent last Saturday night and Sunday with home folks , and returned to Durham on Monday following. I will give you a very amusing incident of the recent election concerning a wet and dry voter. A church member who wanted to vote a wet ticket and was ashamed to do so for fear of erit cism offered a dry man 21 bush els of corn to exchange votes with him and the dry man told the wet man that if he would give him $2.50 that he would ac cept his proposition, so the wet mnn voted a dry ticket and the dry man for $2.50 voted a wet ticket. So in this election trans action the wet man lost $2.50 and his vote and the dry man saved $2.50 and his vote. On last Monday the company dug their mill race deeper at Barton's Mill by using dynamite ana made some other repairs which will be quite an improve ment on the mill. The water will be conveyed to the wheels more freely and the capacity of power and speed will be greater. P. L Tapp has put in his 'phone and is now ready to talk to his friends. Roper.

Park School Closed Last Night. 55 Members In High School Class. .G. Shepherd Wins In Dec lamatloa , Contest. -Largest i - Nambcro! Graduates Col - lege Has Sent Out J . The address or Dr. J. C Kllgo to this baccalaureates Sunday nlfit was characteristic utterance of Trinity's president, sweeping In .its declamation against the Infirmities of modern so ciety, tremendous In Its word work, conrulslpg in Its occasional sal ies and of coarse delivered with all ot the arts of the orator. ." vif, ,.'. 5-v Forty-six seniors sat under his voice for an hour, the largel graduating class that ever left the college. Of these, thirteen were young women of more than ordinary good looks, bright. Intelligent co-eds who ornament the college community and have spurred their brothers to fine endeavor. Theae forty-six graduates were always ad dressed as "young gentlemen," per baps from the force of scholastic hab it, perhaps again because the young gentle-women need little preaching to throughout the year. At any rate, young gentlemen were constantly ad- jnonlshed to avoid the artificialities of our social structure, (be cbeap glid ing and showy lacquer of its life, the Infiinltude of its goose-speech and "Isten to the ever-pealing tones of ol 1 eternity. The address was preceded by a mu z'cal programme In wtpch an ele is-aot'y dressed, finely (rained choir gave the programme as published in Hhe Herald Sunday morning. The commencement choir was composed of Mesdamea G. W. Bryant. T. E. Cheek. T. D. Jones, Msry Yancey, 0. A. Carr, J. M. Manning, Jfedora Smith Le, Mines Rosa Green, AnnleWhit fiMtli' Br Markham. Messrs; A. E. Lloyd, R-'E. Piper, A. W. Wilson, T. C- Newman, W. P. Byrd, Preston Eppes, Wi H. Overton, W. A. Sal mon and Dr. O. A. Carr. The choir was directed by Mr. T. E. Cheek anl Miss Alice Hundley played the ac companiments The beautiful soprano voice of Mrs. Yancey and Mrs. Bry ant reached the utmoBt corner of the great auditorium. Commencement visitor are always as much entertain ed as much by the music as by the speakers anl one reca led the tribute of "or. Lyman Abbott to Mrs. T. E. Cheek's voice years ago when he said that he bad rarely heard such sing ing in New York city. And hearing both, the preacher and the slnaer, one hciUated In the choice of their gifts. One of the most strikingly inspiring numbers of the programme was "O Trinity," written for the class of 1908 and set to glorious music by MU Alice Hundley. Immediately following the first part of the programme Dr. Kilgo walked to the pulpit and without announcing any specific subject began the narrative which the memorial of Prince Albert Consort In South Kensington Garden Londo teachers. He described It from the sculptor's dream, ilhistratel its broadness of spirit, the who'e ma terlal structure standing for something aesthetic, something catholic, memor ializing a man of broad mind and great heart These he said were the mot Impressive things about the stone though each line and feature of it stooj for perfection in art "The un Iversal spirit seems to celebrate and Interpret the man It personifies, he was not a small-minded, narrow souled man." the preacher said. He thought this stone-ideal shou!d typify what a college man should be. "It ha come," he declared with ear- nestness, "to us from a I quarters of the earth, that w6 are living no long er, neighborhood, community, state, national, or even race lives, but would lives. The tendency everywhere is toward segregation and Itwlat'on. Everything running to specialization looms up In our lives and takes on Immeasurable proportions In destroy ing that broadness of spirit so needed In our work among men. We have come to regard the specla'lst as the Ideal man and every tendency of our civilization has been to concentrate his energies at one point as though that could possibly Increase his pow er and worth as a man." Dr. Kllgo spoke of that spirit of segregation that pervades the com mercial wor d and showel what ma chines men are made ho fall under Its Influence. He recited the many phase of Industrial life dominated by Its b'lghtlng misconception of thing and burt Into this notable derlara !' """terr rorc t:on Is n wct'd o lte'f ntd f!l out siders are aliens and foreigners, una ble, to think its thoughts, to speak Its languages or to harmonize with Its traditions. It is even so In the social wor'd, our. differences of tastes have made thousands of warring eements in our economy and we are building a wall higher than that around China, more impenetrable than the rocks that Ibeat back J he waves at Gibraltar.-, -it woui seem tnat education would escape this narrow tendency towards specialization, but hot so. Here we find that same spirit, of segregation. It has , fallen to the cataogues ot Teat universities to find ,, peculiar spheres of' learning to Isolate and in timidate, and In this sphere of higher learning we find men who have won their degrees by speculating upon the life of a tadpo'e or digging Into Greek roots. So pronounced is this tendency that we need not be surpris ed v yet to, find a chair set , apart for' the contemplation of the left wing of a Mississippi mosquito., (Laugh ter.) .

The orator added that to this man be'ongs the task of drawing these disjoined ; elements together. "Education, ; he continued, "youn gentlemen,' does most for you when It gives you that broad spirit It ob ject I no furnishing you Information alone nor endowing you mentally, It la ot'itsv0roriace to open TOuf wind 'in one line but to open your soul In i many way. It Is not to open one field but a thousand fields, to bring about an indestructible kinship to every field of thought The unedu cated man drinks from one spring, Uhe educated man from a thousand ' springs.

You can's get music from one note, 'but harmony anl melody from man I notes. The Indian makes music by i beating monotonously upon a drum 'with one thick. The civilized man I wants a thousand chords. And out of 'this very antagonism, he lures hi sweetest notes. I feel sorry tor the man of on 'idea. If he Is a lawyer, he wants to ' talk of the last decision of the su preme court If a banker, be dis- cusses money. If a doctor in these (times, he talks of appendicitis (laugh ter) and a blo ogist regales you with the study of bugs. Oh. for the man fwho can talk of two things, of many things, who can finally spak the dia lect of every thought." The doctor's tory of the northwest- erner rummaging about Europe on a "pleasure" trip, wutch was not a pleasure at all, was amusing. This thrifty American took his daughters abroad and spent a time there going through the places of Instruction sought so eagerly by the American mind. "What a torture and a misery he suffered, the preacher went on, "He could not hear from the markets the netlghborhood gossip. He ha I seen no mal? In three weeks and he feared that the markets were all off. All that he could do -was to put on a dress suit and go out and listen to slng'ng until midnight. He was mis erable because he could not stand where Napoleon stood and batterei down the. despotism that stood in the way of hi people.
