GOLDSBORO. N. C. THURSDAY, MAY 30, 1895. NO. 8 a Si THE OLD CONFEDERATES. FIFTH ANNUAL SESSION OF THEIR ASSOCIATION. Drizzling Rain and Raw Atmosphere Does Not Dampen the Enthusiasm of the Old Soldiers. The Immense Meeting: Gen. Gordon's Address. Miss 'Winnie Davis' Enthusiastic Reception on the State. JL Houston, Tex., May 22. This morning opened up with a drizzling rain and a disagreeable rawness in the atmosphere There was not a moment's cessa tion of the penetrating mist and the streets were muddy and slip pery. There are fully thirty thousand visitors in the city this morning. The banners bearing the names of the States strung across Main street in the order of secession of the several States are wet and dripping, and the myriad flags that are staffed everywhere flutter heavily. Gen. Gordon, who arrived last night, has been overwhelmed with visitors this morning, crowding around him in infor mal enthusiasm to shake the hand which led them in many a stormy conflict. Nine o'clock was the hour in which the convention was to be opened, but it was nearer 11 o'clock when President Cleve land, of the United Confederate Veterans' Relief Association op ened the meeting. The vast au ditorium, holding 7,000 people was crowded to its utmost capac ity, the seats as they receded from the huge platform rising in amp hi-theatre style, the dele gates of each locality having their locality designated by a banner. Around three sides of .the building ran a spacious bal Vony. The entire interior was elaborately decorated with flags and bunting. Behind the stage four large American flags were draped around the effigy of the eagle, painted in brilliant colors while on each side were hung the Confederate colors in a half- rosette. Along the edge of the platform was a row of palmet toes. While the crowd was waiting Herbert's Houston Light Guards band rendered familiar war mel odies, as -uixie or ine "Bonnie Blue Flag" rose suc cessively through the vastbuild- .. iner the hum of the great audi- ence burst in deafening crescen dos of cheers and applause. It was 10.50 when Gen. John B. Gordon mounted the platform He was looking the picture of health and bowed a graceful acknowledgement as the crowd Erreeted him with loud and long continued applause. Chaplain General J. W. Jones opened the meeting with prayer, He called upon the God of Abra ham. Isaac and Jacob, the God of Jefferson Davis, to be with them in their deliberations; to bless every section of our com mon ccountry: to bless the -( maimed Confederates here and at home and raise up friends to care for them in days to come. President Cleveland followed in a brief address. Under the conquered flag, he said, they had come together to honor the cause for which it- waved. They had met to-day under the blessing of peace in cheerful acceptance of their heritage of defeat, without criticism, Applause. He wel comed the the delegates to the hearts and homes of Texas, the realization of their brightesl dreams. In closing he presented Gov ernor Charles Culberson, who made an address of welcome. He paid a high tribute to the ' Great f'"' leader, whose daughter honors us with her presence, to-day," and eulogized the glory of the Southern cause. It was the proudest act of his official life to welcome the veterans of that cause. At the conclusion of the Gov ernor's speech the band played "The Bonnie Blue Flag" and the crowd burst forth in loud ap plause. Mavor Browne then rose and extended to the visitors the hos pitality of the city. When Gen. Gordon was intro- duced the crowd went wild and it X was some time before the speaker " could proceed. Gen. Gordon said it was a pleasant duty to re- pond to the characteristic hos pitalities of to-day. Continuing he said: "Around the name of this State are gathered glorious and hallowed memories and high hopes of the rich contributions to the future of the republic. She has a erenial climate and a rich soil. In history she has, the memories of the Alamo Golind and San Jacinto The deeds of Houston, of Austin, of Travis arate nationality, but Texas victories were not more glorious and grand than were these brave men around him in their over whelming defeat. Applause. I rejoice in the privilege of bearing to you fraternal greet- from the great body of brave men who confronted you in battle. Be assured that the overwhelming majority of the Grand Army of the Republic, composed of soldiers who were THE GRADED SCHOOL. IT COMPLETES ANOTHER YEAR OF SUCCESSFUL WORK IN OUR MIDST. Yesterday's Exercises: The Papers Read By the Graduating Class: Dr. Bassett's Address Last Nlght:Miss Gertrude Weil's Generous Act of Self-Denial: The Weil Prizes Awarded: The Diplomas And rtai-Mficates Conferred: The Chapel Hill Scholarship Won by Edgar Broadhurst.

Applause.1 In the presence of your con tinued conservatism and before the higher and nobler sentiment of our country these will vanish like vapors before the sun." Applause.! Gen. Gordon concluded by re assuring the people of Texas of the appreciation of their bound less hospitality. The band played Dixie and the crowd burst into cheers. The our splendid Graded School, that dav in and dav out. yer in and vear out, is a "map of busy life"- of mind culture of brain building of education: education in its hroad. fundamental sense; not of book learning alone, but of in dividual development of all the rising powers of the mind as they un- I -i - fold and open up unaer the experienced tutorage and watchful training and ready re cognition of the faithful teachers who compose the faculty of this peerless institution of popular education in our midst, v rom crowd called for Ross, Wheeler its halls have gone forth some of and other prominent men, but the regular order was proceeded with. A committee on credentials, composed of a delegate from each State, was then agreed upon. While the chair was selecting them the next business was taken up, the question being to appoint a committee on resolutions one from each State carried. There being much confusion at this point a sergeant-at-arms from each State was appointed to keep order. (jren. b. D. Lee, chairman of the committee on history, read his report. At this juncture Miss Winnie Davis, with her escort, including many ladies, appeared on the platform. The enthusiasm of the convention as the delegates caught sight of the "Daughter of the Confederacy" was beyond all bounds. It was not a succes sion of cheers, but one continued thunderous roar. Such a scene has never been witnessed in the South in years. Miss Davis, dressed in a dark brown costume, with a Confeder ate badge on her breast and a bunch of flowers in her belt, ad vanced to the side of Gen. Gor don near the edge of the platform and made bow after bow to the enthusiastic crowd, which seemed intoxicated by her smile. Complete order could never be restored after her advent, and it was not until Gen. Gordon had said, after a reasonable inter mission, that he would clear the hall unless the convention came to order, so that Gen. Lee could proceed. He then finished read ing his report, which recommends beginning at the bottom by stim ulating public sentiment in favor of histories which are just to the South, by teaching them in the universities. It renews the rec ommendations of previous re ports and urges in the future that each camp have prepared a correct list of the enrollment from every county, the number killed and in what battle; it asks each State organization to urge upon its respective Legislature to make an application lor carry ing into effect these recommenda tions: endorses the Confederate Veteran publication; censures the Encyclopaedia Britannica for misrepresent! nj the the brightest minds in the na tion, who at the higher institu tions of learning have achieved distinctions that have brought them world-wide reputation who, but for their early training here and the opportunity of such training would doubtless have been as the gems in the dark caves of ocean that lack but the sunshine to determine their priceless value. And so it has gone on from year to year since the school was foundeu, until its excellent faculty of teachers have become, by experience and the comparison of mind with mind, almost infallible in their powers of divining latent talent in the chil4 and developing it to the fullest acquisition possible to effort. This is a great blessing to the school, to the community to the children one that cannot be over estimated, and as these faithful teachers enter upon their wellearned vacation rest may it be to them as a benediction, with healing in its wings, and may they return with renewed vigor of mind and body, in the "crisp Fall days," to resume their noble work, that has become to them a second nature a religion. It was our pleasure, as it is our custom, to be present at the graduating class exercises at the school yesterday morning, which were attended by a full audience of the relatives and friends of the graduating pupils. The exer cises showed the -scope of study covered by the class during the vear. while the innate merit of the individual papers read, their conception, compass, thought, language, style and finish, manifested the degree of painstaking care that had been expended by the teachers and the eminent success achieved by the pupils during the year It were useless to attempt to single out any one of these pa pers for special mention, for they were all, each one on its peculiar subject, par excellence. But that our readers may know of their nature, as well as learn the names of the graduating class who received diplomas, we give them as follows: Sir Walter Raleigh Miss Sunan Ful ehum.

After the address Superintend ent Howell announced the two prizes of 20 gold pieces for best scholarship, given every year by Mr. Henry Weil, and heretofore awarded one to the girl and one to the boy holding the highest scholarship in the class, would this year be awarded to two girJs, owing to the fact that the girls had so far out-distanced the boys that they were entitled to both prizes. He stated further, that three of the girls, Misses Gertrude Weil, Louisia Hicks aud Susie Fulgham, were so nearly together on schol arship that it took the most ac curate calculation of marks in all their studies for the entire year to decide which was ahead, and this calculation resulted in a fraction in favor of Miss Ger trude Weil; but as her father gave the prizes, she, though clearly entitled to it, generously declined to receive it, and this ac tion on her part was received with unbounded applause by the audience. The prizes were, there fore, awarded to Misses Louisa Hicks and Susie Fulghum. , Mr. W. C. Munroe then, on be half of the trustees of the school, in a few graceful and well-chosen words, presented the diplomas to the graduates above named. In addition to these, Miss Lena Bassett and Master Theodore Ginn were given certificates on studies completed. Mr. Edgar Broadhurst was awarded the Chapel Hill scholarship, and Master John Gardner was award ed a prize for proficiency in writ ing in Mrs. M. O. Humphrey's grade. STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. PROF. BUTLER SPEAKS ON THE GRAVE PROBLEMS CONFRONTING THE PEOPLE. The Presentation of Diplomas. State Su perintendent Scarborough's Opening Address. President Mclver's Speech to the Clasff Greensboro, N. C, May 23. The exercises or to-day were in no particular inferior to those of yesterday. Those who went to hear something that will in struct, uplift and bring mankind nearer to perfection, were not disappointed in the splendid ad dress by that learned young man, Dr. Murray Butler, of Columbia College. The exercises of the morning were opened with a song by the school. State Superintendent Scarborough introduced the orator of the day in a short and appropriate talk, telling some thing about the improvements in our own btate m the line or education, referring to the re- it act of the Legislature crip pling the schools as a "turning back of the hands." He then paid a high tribute to the learn- ag, ability and wort a or the speaker whom he was introduc- lcigh South; strongly endorses Dr. J. L. Curry and his history, "The Constitu tion and Reunion," and asks that he be invited to address the vet erans at the next reunion on the subject of slavery and secession; it asks that the committee be en larged to one member from each State. The report was adopted and ordered published. When txen. Liee finished the veterans were invited to pass in review before Miss Davis, after adjournment, which was then taken from 1 to 7 o clock. The crush and confusion was so great that there was actual danger of fatalities. Miss Davis advanced to the front of the platform, and smilingly raising her .hands, said she knew she could rely on the members "as men and Texans to follow the rules and make the re view as easily as possibly," add ing, "Now, won't you?" with an appealing smile. This was par tially effective, but not wholly so, and for nearly two hours she was buried among the mass of veter ans, who scrambled over the re- 1- UV J VUV. www y.v . - lortn. ii wouia oe impossiDie t "mi. . .-a a -wneio TITO C3 .

That regarding the ques tion of the resumption of the free and unlimited coinage of silver as the overshadowing one in American pontics, we urge that such action be taken by the various bimetalic league as will open the way to a union of the friends of silver coinage in their support of a candidate for the the Presidency and candidates for Congress who can be relied upon to standby the people in their great struggles for finan cial emancipation from the evils of the single gold standard. " 7th. That while we concede the right of every citizen of the State to go as a delegate to the so-called sound-money conven tion, to be held in Memphis this week, or to be represented by delegates thereto, we at the same time protest that in so do ing they do not represent the Democratic sentiment of this State. ' The speaker began his able discourse with a reference to the grave proqlems and dangers that confront the people of theUnited States. No country having a Ke publican form of government has so long held together without serious trouble, and we -should not think ourselves secure. Something is necessary to pre vent the people from revolt aud anarchy, Here Uutier referred to the time when Prussia was over thrown, and it was predicted that this proud nation would sink in to oblivion, but in humble and dimly, lighted rooms all over the and, the voice of the faithful school master was heard, and from an humble beginning have arisen the most magnificent un iversities in the world; so in this country, if we wish to continue to be a great nation and avoid the dangers that threaten ' us on every side, we must educate, not only the mind, but the character of our people. As Dr. Butler had no manu script or notes your correspond ent is unable to give even an at tempt at a report of this excel lent speech. So pleased were the audience with the splendid treat that it only needed the sug- estion of Major Finger that we pass a rising vote of thanks to our distinguished visitor, wnen every person in the vast audi ence arose simultaneously. At the close of this address the treble cleff rendered delightfully the cuckoo song, but it was not the peactical cuckoo. Diplomas of proficiency iu stenography and typewriting were presented to those young women who had reached a speed of eighty words to the minute. One young lady, Miss Harriet Hammond, of Mecklenburg, hav ing reached a speed of 120 words per minute, aud Miss Buie, of Robeson, a speed of 135 Dr. Chas. D. Mclver presented the diplomas to the graduating class and made a feeling speech of several minutes. He referred to the first day of the arrival of the members of the class, of their hardships at first owing to the incomplete condition of the building he said that not one of the class had ever given him a moments trouble or anxiety. He told them -that in the future they would receive a warm welcome on their return to their old alma mater. He gave them excellent advice as 1o how they should conduct themselves in after life, closing with warm words of good wishes to all. Chief Justice Faircloth made the speech on presenting the class with a copv each of the Constitution, and Dr. J. W. Car ter, of Raleigh, presented the Bibles, both making very sensi ble talks. After a sons: bv the school the audience was dismissed by Rev. Dr. Carter, of Raleigh, and the third annual commencement of the Normal and Industrial School was a thing of the past. The Alumnae Association of the Normal and Industrial Col lege elected the following offi cers: Miss Rachel Brown, of Newbern, president; Miss Zella McCulloch, vice-president; Miss Marv Applewhite, of Scotland Neck, secretary. Mr. and Mrs. Josephus Daniels, of Raleigh, have given one hun dred dollars to be used as a loan fund to young women who are unable to pay their expenses in the Industrial and Normal School to be loaned by President Me Iver. It will be known as the Adelaide Worth Daniels fund in memory of their little girl who died two years ago. Goldsboro Colored School Closing. The closing exercises of the Colored Graded School in the Messenger Opera House Thurs day eveniug were by far the most meritorious in the history of the school, and all the grades reflected credit upon their re spective teachers and them selves. The singing, recitations, dialogues, acting, drilling and bearing of the pupils evidenced painstaking care on the part of the teachers and aptitude on the part of the scholars that could not fail to prove gratifying to the friends of the school. The audience was large and appre ciative and the entertainment passed off without a hitch. We would like to make special mention of several features of the entertainment that were of exceeding merit, but we fear to discriminate especially where it was so evident that all did the best their circumstance allowed. The faculty of the school, which consists of Rev. C. Dillard.princi pal;Miss Julia A. Amee, assistant, Miss Nannie R. Lee, Airs. E. E. Smith and Miss Lucy Smith, have proytd by Thursday evening's performance that they deserve the "well done" of the commun ity, and are competent to fill to the fullest requirement the re sponsible positions with which they have been entrusted the past year. The Akgus takes pleasure in endorsing and com mending their work and hopes that this excellent faculty will be preserved intact by the trus tees of the school for the coming year. The musical culture manifest ed by these pupils, which was under the supervision of Miss Amee, and their general training and bearing, under Miss Lee, were peculiarly pleasing and reflected much credit upon these teachers, for it must have been an arduous task to bring them up to such a degree of exact time and modula tion of voice and expression of sentiment as characterized their appearance Thursday night, SOME INTERESTING STATISTICS- At the meeting of the Graded School Trustees yesterday Superintendent Howell presented soire very interesting statistics showing for each class, and for the whole school, (white) the total amount spent hy the pupils for text books last yeai-, and the average amount spent by each pupil. The figures are given in the following table, which shows also the total value of the books usedf and what the cost would have been to each pupil, if all had bought every book used last year, and the value of the books furnished to each grade by the Superin tendent dui ing the year. These figures show commendable economv in the School administration, when the pupils have had to bu-" " cent, of the text books used, and when the Superintendent has funished without cost to pupils or tax payers, books worth 22 per cent, of the amount the children have spent. The nuitber of children, 576, does not represent all who atten led school last year. These facts were gotten this Spring after many pupils had left school, but the figures are accurate for this number of pupils First Grade, boys, First Grade girls, Advanced first, Low second, Advanced second, Low third Advanced third, Low Fourth, Advanced fourth.

From causes entirely beyond the control of the pres ent administration there was se rious financial and industrial re vulsion, and he has contributed largely to the general distress of the people. The partisan howler who has spoken through the col umns of nearly every partisan organ, has systematically and persistently played upon public distrust, and greatly - aggravated the sorrows which fell upon the people, not only of this country but of every civilized country of the world, because of the gen eral industrial depression. The United States was the last to feel the general revulsion in industry and trade that prevailed thro jghout other countries, and it is the first to recover from the blow7. Our vast and varied re sources with the wonderful adap tability of our people, have has tened the return of prosperity; and to-day nearly every leading industry of the land has restored the reduced wages of panic times, aud industry is vastly better re warded than it was under the monopoly McKinley tariff that axed the necessaries of hie with out increasing the pay of work- mgmen. The general depression that prevailed during the last two years was the result or causes which are graduallv becoming understood. Our financial com plications were the origin of the trouble, and every finaucial measure that added in producing the financial revulsion was en- acted under the political author ity that turned into organized calamity howlers when it was defeated in 1892. Every depres sion of industry and trade was imputed to the prospective re peal of the McKinley tariff, and now with the best tariff the coun try has ever had since the war, j the calamity howlers are com-! pelled to confess its wisdom and restore wages to labor. Under the McKinley bill there was not a single industrial es tablishment that we can recall whose labor received increased wages, while hundreds of em ployers reduced the wages of labor under that tariff. To-day signs of prosperity are visible on every side; general confidence in finance, industry and trade is rapidly being restored, and be fore another year shall have passed, all industries will be more prosperous than they have ever been since the war, unless there shall be fresh disturbance by the destruction of national credit and the success of the free silver craze. One of the grandest results of the overthrow of the calamity howler in industrial and trade circles is.in the fact that as pros-; perity is diffused amongst the ( people the free silver fanatics will be speedily lessened in num-1 ber, and made utterly impotent j if one year of prosperity can be i attained. The calamity howler has been sent to the rear; the free silver demagogues must fol low, and in a little time we shall have established honest money, absolute credit and general prosperity.
