The day was ideal in every respect, and the large crowd of happy and con tented people that gathered in the pretty and progressive village enjoyed the exercises tcMhe utmost. The stu dents rendered a very attractive pro gram in a most creditable manner. The literary address was delivered by Hon. Locke Craiz, of Asheville, who delighted every one who heard him. ' Commencement was ushered in Sun day, with the annual sermon, which was delivered by Rev. H. M. Blair, of this city, editor of the North Carolina Christian Advocate. Monday night the students of the primary and inter na ediatedepartments gave an entertain ment which waa attended and enjoyed by a large crowd. The exercises came to a close last night with a concert by the students of the high school de partment. COMMENCEMENT DAY PROPER. Owiug to the size of the crowd, the exercises yesterday were held out in the open, seats being arranged under the shade of the beautiful oak trees u front of the school bu lid lug. Shortly before 11 o'clock the exercises were opened with a stirring selection by the James town band. The remainder of the program, was as follows: ChorusIn the Good OJd United States.

V. presented by Mr. Beall to Miss Elsie Woosley, principal of the school, pre- sented the orator of the day, Hon. Locke Craig, who spoke earnestly, elo quently and forcefully. Mr. Craig be gan his address by declaring that the kchoolboys and schoolgirls are the hope debating was1 -presented by County of the country, adding that anything Superintendent Foust to Walter Bow done for the welfare of the young is man, of Brown Summit: Two books done for the welfare of the country.

Woosley, principal of the guarantees to all people equality of op- school, announced that the following portuuity. All that any state can do lx students had achieved distinction is to guarantee to its children an op- by having been on time every school rjortnnitv. and I belleve-I know the day during the- eight months' term: people of Nerth -Carolina mean to do this. The command, 'Thou sbalt love their neighbor as thyself means also that we should love our neighbor's children as we love our own children, and upon this proposition Is based our public school system. "Every man admires the public spirited man the man who not only wants a good road running by his own house, "but who is willing to build a road by his neighbor's house; the man who not only does something for him self, but wants to fee bis neighbor pros per at the same time. The culmina tion of public spirit is the establish- ment and maintenance of good public schools. It is the prime duty of every community to guarantee to every in dividual an opportunity for attaining to the highest development, morally, mentally and physically." Speaking of the advantages of schools and' the environment of cul ture, Mr. Craig said: "I have seen this thing you call book-learning transform the very physical appearance of peo ple, for it goes down into the bone and sinew of our make-up. In ages t( come, when we build a monument to the men vho laid the foundation for the greatness of North Carolina, there will be inscribed upon it thr names of the great educators whose lives have blessed this state. I appeal to every parent and every citizen that his high- dinner as one could expect to enjoy est duty to society is Jo help guarantee only In such a prosperous and hospit to every child an opportunity to attain able community.

"Our ereatest inheritance! la the responsibility of the - present," de clared Mr. Craig. We admire the man who can make money and bring things to pass, but unless our material devel opment has for its ultimate end the development of human character, it is a mockery and a sham. I rejoice thai the day is coming when our great ma- terlaI 1 development will mean the moral and intellectual development of all our people." J Air. Craig asserted that no man is en titled to a living in this world unless be does some useful work. The man who doesn't work is a hobo, whether he tides the brake beams of a freight car or is clothed in purple and fine linen.; . . . Mr. Craig referred to the business de pression throughout the country and reminded his hearers that North Caro lina has seen hard times before. He grew eloquent in describing the hard ships through which the people of this state paesed after the civil war. "The men who walked from Appomattox came with a smile upon their faces and with a stern resolution in their hearts to build upon the ruins of the old South a new South with a greater destluy. We came through military despotism and a period of starvation, and at this late day North Carolina is not going to take a backward step. There is too much energyandjdeterini nation in our people. In potential possibilities North Carolina is the greatest state in the union. I believe we have about 300 cotton mills in North Carolina, but we ought to have 3,000. But we do not love our natuial resources, great as they are, as we love the boys and girls of North Carolina.'1 Mr. Craig's peroration, a tribute to the womanhood and manhood of North Carolina, was truly eloquent and elic ited great applause. MEDALS AND PRIZES AWARDED. After Mr. Craig had concluded his speech, several medals and prizes were awarded to students who had won dis tinction in various departments during the term. The scholarship medal, given by Dr. Wesley Cqble to the stu dent making the best grade in the high school department, was presented by Mr. Thomas 8. Beall, of the Greens- bor bar. ll a veiT graceful little speech, McUuIlocn, of tne intermediate aepan- ment, and Willie Weatherly, or me primary department. The Cravenian Literary Society medal for the greatest Improvement in Lita Hodgin, Annie Scott, Lystra Kirkman, J. C. Ross, Amelia Ross and Basil Ross. Mr. L. W. White, a popular resident of the community and a strong friend of the school, was called on to make a few remarks before the exercises closed He responded in a very pleasing vein, referring to the many friendships he bad made during his residence in the community and speaking in terms of the highest praise of the high school and its capable young principal. At his suggestion, the crowd gave a vote of thanks of its appreciation or tne ettorts of Prof. Woosley. The crowd particularly enjoyed a humorous rhyme Mr. White had prepared lor the occasion and which he read. In the verses he made a play on the names of a number of his friends in the, com munity, the reading of which wastbe occasion of much merriment. The commencement marshals, who attended to seating the crowd and other details, were: John Woosley, chief; Jlnnle Gorrell, Maggie Cole, Stacy Kirkman and William Stover. This report would be incomplete without a reference to the elegant and bountiful dinner which was spread for the crowd after the formal exercises nad come to an end. The dinner was served in picnic style and It was a dinner fit for the gods. It was such a there was more than a sufficiency of the rich and tempting viands' prepared by the good women of the community, and everybody was Invited to share the bountiful hospitality. In the next Issue of the Patriot we hope to have something more to say of the high school and the enterprising community of Pleasant Garden. MUSIC FESTIVAL., Splendid Programs Rendered at Four Concerts Largely Attended.

' Curtis, of Sherman, Texas, a noted temperance lecturer, spoke to a crowd of about 200 men and women in the county court house yes terday. She fully sustained her repu tation as a prohibition speaker of force and eloquence. Mrs. Curtis criticized the political parties for their stand on the question and maintained that the sale of liquor is contrary to the spirit of American institutions and unconstitutional. The speaker drew fearful pictures of the evils of drunkenness and appealed powerfully to the emotions of her hear ers, at times moving many of them to tears. She said that the present con test was one between the babies and the tKDttles, and that the women would always stand by : their rchildren, and that the men ought to give their assist- ance She scored churchmen who drink and said that men who line up with breweries and. saloons in an election would ehame the very devils in hell. Cotton 11111 Situation. At a meeting of cotton manufactur ers in Spartanburg, S. C, Saturday, it was resolved that the mills of North and South Carolina will accept no fur ther orders for cloth at present prices and that the mills will shut down in definitely not later than July 1st: The closing down of the mills will throw many thousands of people out of em ployment. The people of Guilford county will be glad to learn that the action of the Spartanburg meeting does not aflect the cotton mills in Greensboro. Mr. Ceasar Cone; president of the Proxim ity and White Oak mills, and largely interested in the Revolution mills, an nounces that bis mills will continue to run as long as it is possible to do so, although it is realized that this doubt less means the piling up of a large stock of goods. v Attention, Confederate Veterans.
