Greensboro is celebrating this week
the one hundredth anniversary of the

gates of the city have been thrown
wide open and a most cordial wel

North Carolina dispersed abroad are
here in 'large numbers, among them
being many who went out from Guil
ford and other counties many years
ago to seek their fortunes far from
kindred and amid new surroundings.
It is not exaggerating to say that
the event is decidedly the biggest
civic celebrauon ever undertaken in
North Carolina. It is greater than the
people of Greensboro had any idea
it would be, and the success of the
occasion in every particular is al
that could be desired.

The celebration of Greensboro's one
hundreth anniversary was opened Sun
day with special services in the city
churches. The pulpits were occupied
I by distinguished sons of North Caro
lina. All the choirs had prepared
special music for the occasion and
the congregations were unusually
large. In fact, it is doubtful if so
many people ever before attended di
vine services in Greensboro in one
day.
The congregation at West Marke
Street Methodist churcu was address
ed by Rev. Wilbur F. iillet, D, D.
dean of the theological depart
ment of Vanderbilt University. Nash
ville, Tenn., who chose for his
theme. "The Place of Religion in the
Making and the Mission of a Chris
tian Nation." He discussed the con
nection between a nation's prosperity
and its recognition of God and laid
down the proposition that perfec
prosperity is possible only when al
the people praise God. The speaker
discussed in a most learned and in
teresting manner the influence o
the Christian religion in the civiliza
tion of the world, saying that In no
country has the relation between
church and state been adjusted so
happily as in the United States.
The sermon at the First Presby
terian church was delivered by Rev-
Samuel M. Smith, D. D., pastor of
the First Presbyterian church of Co
lumbia, S. C, who spoke with great
eloquence and power from the pas
sage of Scripture reading: "Except
the Lord build a house, they labor in
vain that keep it; except the Lord
keen a city, the watchmen waketh
in vain." Dr. Smith spoke of the
wonderful progress of Greensboro,
with special reference to the esprit
de corps exniuiiecl Dy tne ciuzen&nip
in religion, business and society.
Dr. Smith went out from the First
church, havine been the eldest son
of the late Rev. Jacob Henry amun,
D. D., for nearly half a century pas
tor nf the congregation, and he was
heard by one of the largest congrega
tions that ever filled a church in
Greensboro. Many of his hearers pro
nounce the sermon the greatest er
fort of his life.
Dr. William Louis Poeat, president
f vvoiro Forest College, delivered a
learned and instructive address from
the pulpit of the First Baptist church
and in the same edifice at night an
able sermon was preached by Rev.
J. B. Hawthorne, D. D., of Richmond,
Va.. one of the most eminent divines
of the Baptist denomination.
Among others who preached In tne
morning were: Rev. Shuford Peeler,
at the First Reformed cnurch; , Rev.
C A. Weiss, at the Lutheran church;
Rev. Joseph a . Watts, at Forest
Avenue Baptist church; Rev. William
A. Barr, D. D., at St. Barnabas Epis
copal church; Rev. William G. Hud-

THE ATTRACTIONS MONDAY.
Big Parade by School Pupils Centen
nial Oration by Dr. Winston.
The formal exercises of the centen
nial Monday were held in the audi
torium, following a mammoth parade
of the pupils of the colleges and
schools of Guilford county. The au
ditorium was crowded as on Sun
day afternoon, thousands of people
being turned away.
The educational parade began to
move from the campus of Greensboro
Female College shortly after. 10
o'clock, passing along West Market
street to court square; thence down
South Elm to Washington; thence
along East Washington and Forbis
streets to the auditorium. The pro
cession, numbering more than 7,000
school boys and girls, presented
most imposing spectacle and elicited
frequent and prolonged applause from
the many thousands of people who
lined the sidewalks and occupied
every point of vantage along the line
The procession moved in the follow
ing order: Mounted police officers
and marshals, followed by the White
Oak band, the musicians being attir
ed in natty uniforms of white duck;
students of Greensboro Female Col
lege, wearing white dresses and
white hats with light green bands, th
combination forming the college col
ors; students or tne state isorma
and Industrial College., dressed in
pure white and carrying tiny North
Carolina flags and the Normal col
ors, white and yellow; pupils of the
Jamestown High School, in maroon
and black; Pleasant Garden High
School, in orange and black and
wearing jaunty caps; the Mill Point
school, in white; the Brightwood

black, the girls wearing yellow sashe
and the boys attired in Continental
uniforms; the Davie street school, in
blue and white; the Lindsay street
school and the Greensboro High
Sschool, in orange and purple.
All the schools received liberal ap
plause, perhaps the most vociferous
beine accorded the pupils of the
Asheboro street school and the graded
schools at Proximity, Revolution and
British tand American Forces Meet at
Guilford Court House.
The military feature was the cL-ef
attraction of the centennial yester
day, theevent of principal interest
being a reproduction of the battle of
Guilford Court House. The sham bat
tie, participated in by the regulars
of the infantry and cavalry branches
of the United States government and
eight companies of the North Carolina
National Guard, was witnessed by one
of the largest crowds that ever as
sembled on this historic spot. It is
estimated that the crowd of specta
tors numbered 15,000 or more people.
The companies participating in the
sham battle were: Company L of the
Seventeenth Infantry, Troop L of the
Twelfth cavalry and the following
companies of the North Carolina Na
tional Guard: Greensboro, Reidsville,
Winston-Salem, High Point, Burling
ton, Mt. Airy, Lexington and Concord.
