ROBES COMMENCEMENT OF HIGH SCHOOL Closing Exercises at Barkers lew Yerj Inc. Eoloyei CONTESTS WERE INTERESTING Medals Were Awarded to Misses Pauline Osborne. Gray M' Wblte, Juliette Lovlno and Lottie Power Mnsle Recitals Were ol Hlgti Order. The commencement exercises of Barker's High School, held Thursday and Friday of last week, marked the close of a most successful year's work. The program was one well worthy of the occasion, and the manner in which it was rendered reflected great credit upon both the faculty and student body. Tho atten dance during the past year has been fair, the work done very satisfactory. The first, and by no means the least enjoyable event ofcommen ment week, was, the piano and locution recital on Thursday evening at 8 o'clock. A number of students participated in the entertainment and a well pleased audience was profuse in compli ments to the pupils. In the contest for the Mocu tion Medal Friday morning, v'iss Pauline Osborne, of Lumberton, was the winner. The other con testants were Misses Pearl In man,Eva Powers, Ruth Britt,Lt . tie Powers, Ida Brisson, Phonnie Britt, and Messrs. J. Walter Daniel and lorn Gluyas. The, judges in the contest were Rev. A. E. Baker, Prof. J. R. Poole and Mr. Abner Barker, all of Lumberton. The recitations were of a high order and the con test for the medal was quite close between several reciters. The Rev. A. E. Baker pastor of Lumberton Presbyterian Church, addressed the student body and friends present Friday afternoon. Mr. Baker chose for his subject "The Life That Counts," and he handled in such m UlttUItt?! Cl tu Iiuivt tile wuaco attention of his audiedce. The address was a splendid effort and one of the very' best features of the commencement exercises. At 4 p. m. the Art Reception was held and quite a number of peo ple took occasion to see the fine exhibit made by this department of the school. The final exercises were held in the auditorium of the schcol on Friday evening. A large au dience was in - attendance, and with the exception of a few, whose conduct showed that they were out of their proper element, they gave marked attention to the entire program, every num ber of which was well rendered. The program was as follows: 1. Instrumental Solo La Bal adine. Pauline Osborne. 2. Recitation The Bugle Song. Elocution Class. 8. Cantata A Trip to Europe. 4. Duet Mendelssohn's Wed ding March.

Another number not on the program, but which was ren dered by special request, was "Long Ago," by little Miss Clyde Brisson. She did splendidly, and her work would have done civ.lit to one of maturer ye irs. ' At the conclusion of the exer cises, Prof. W. B. Loving, in a . lew weu cnosen remants, pre sented the medals. The English composition meda', giv. n the scht ol by Mr. W. E. Humi-ii rey, who is one of its strongest friends and most .enthusiastic supporters, was awarded. to iss Gray -M 'White.

C, Rev. Dr. Bunyan McLiHd united in mar riage Miss Virginia McCall, of Bennettsville. a. C, and Mr, John Chesley McCaskill, Jr., of Maxton, N. C. This union of two popular and highly esteemed young people, both of prominent families, in the Spring time of their lives as in the Spring time of the year, has been of much interest to people on the borders of both the Carolinas. Extensive prepa ration had been made and with every feature and detail planned and worked out in good taste and elegant style, the wedding was a model in harmony of design and successful execution. Without going into details, suffice it to say that the members of the bridal party were richly and ele gantly aitired, the church deco rations were magnificent, the music excellent and the cere mony most impressive. The attendants were, Miss An nie McCall, sister of the bride, maid of honor; Mr: J. Dickson McLean, Max ton, best man; the maids of honor were Misses Cam mie McCaskill, Maxton, sister of the groom; Ethel Johnson, Red Springs; Elizabeth Newton, Ben nettsville; Anna McQueen, Row land; Eunice Ford, Elizabeth town; Bessie Rogers, Bennetts-, ville; Groomsmen, Dr. L R. Kirkpatrick, M, L McLean, Dr. J. D. Croom, Jr., Maxton. N. C; Angus D. McEachin and Hinton James, Laurinburg, N. C; and Roscoe McMillan, Red Springs, N. C. Miss Ellen Lytch, ofLytch, N.

Red Sorines April 23. Presi dent C. C. Moore, of the North Carolina Division of the Southern Cotton Association, spoke here last Thursday night. The use of the college auditorium was tendered the managers of his campaign and accepted. Ihus he had ' the more and better lnnldncr hearers. Moreover the young ladies of the college bright fined the hour with noDular mu sic. Miss Beatrice Mcnacnern saner sweetlv a striking song, the chorus class sang America and The Old North State and Miss Rnnnn nlnved Dixie on the violin Mr. R. W. Livermore, president aided with grace and introduced the speaker. The speech stated historically and fully the claims nf the Association to the honor and benefaction of increasing the price ol cotton toward its real worth against great combina tions as a plea for its loyal and hearty support by not only every Southern farmer, but everybody who lives in Dixie. The increase in the price of the raw cotton sold as a finished product was illustrated bv an exhibition of cotton sold by the farmer at fifty dollars a oaie ana Dougnt uacK hv him as r.loth at a cost increased according to the grade of cloth from f 125 tol,5UO a bale. He ftro-ned the farmer ought to have more of the profits of these mid dle handlers, it was a tain along tho T-iorht. line. While in no cruise a professional speaker, his mind works readily anxLbe tens cieariy what he has to say. The good sense that. ever shines in the notable family to which he be longs is apparent.. Without any of the tricks of the orator and with little of the graces of the rhetorician he delivers his mes sace in a straight-forward, con versational and winsome way. He is older and wiser than his clothes or his general appear ance might suggest. The audi ence heard him gladly and every body is in sympathy, be it said, with the cause this Mecklenburg farmer represents.

WlRK IP FIRE IN SAN FRANCISCO Gmttf Damage Dona by This Element Than bj Earthqmi). CITY IS TO BE REBUILT Many ol Best Business Houses and Finest Residences arc Complete loss Asslstsuce Given by Cities all Over the United States. San Francisco, April 10. San Francisco tonight is the city deso late. It seemed that the acme of its misery was reached at dusk, when flames burst from all sides of the beautiful Hotel Fairmount. tho structure that above every other was apparently most strongly entrenched against the attack of all-consuming tire. and surrounding that lofty pin nacle of flame, as far as the eyes could see to the south, to the east and far out to the west lay in cruel, fantastic heaps, charred and smoking, all that remained of a prosperous city, lhe me tropolis of the Pacific coast was in ashes. All efforts to check the spread of the flames at Van Ness avenue by blowing up a mile of buildings on the East side of Van .Ness avenue proved fruitless. The lire has spread across the broad throughfare and from present indications the entire western ad ditions, which contains the homes of San Francisco's wealthiest class, is now doomed. The de- struction ol the western aaonion of the city completes the work of the ravaging flames and mams the devastation of the entire city. From the water front, the burn ed city can be seen today in all its smoky nakedness, r rom tne Pacific Mail dock to Vallejo street on the west side, a distance oi two miles, wreckage and ruin is the rule. Although the fire did not jump East street, the damage has been enormous. The filled- in land facing the ferry building is a succession of little valleys, some four, others six feet deep. The ferry tower itself is out oi plumb, and the big Duiiamg is much twisted by the earthquake. Looking up Market street,! rom the ferry building, the city is a smouldering mass of ruins. Great manufactories, mercantile houses.banks and office buildings are now here to be seen.and only in snots is there so much as a tower, a monument of the burned structure. Today was bright and warm. The sun boat down on the tired workers and res cuers. There is scarcely any water to relieve the thirst of the suffering. The dead, m many instances, are lying in the streets and the ruins. Trie autnoruies are uuiur all in their power to remove the bodies in order that a pestilence mav be Drevented. It has been necessary repeatedly to move the injured from places where they had sought reruge, ior tne nre kept increasing with alarming rapidity. Water is the incessant cry of the firemen, and the peo- Die: one wants it to ngnx, ine other to drink, but there is only a scant drinking supply. The committee of safety, con sisting of fifty prominent ciu Bens, met with Mayor Schmitz this morning and organized a finance committe, composed of James N. Phelan, F. W. Hellman, Claus Sprekels, J. Downey Har vey, Thomas McGee, J. L Flood, Wm. T. BabcocK, w. r . nerrinK, M. F. De Young and Robert J. Tobin.
