Eloquent Presbyterian Dlvise Spoke to the Association oa "Wise Resdisf." : : Maslcsl Proiramme Aasoal : Election of Officers, Elc. " The annual meetlnar of the Alumni Association of the Wilmington High School, a very elegant- banquet to the High School graduates of 1903 and a scholarly literary address by the Bev. J. M. Wells, Ph, D., pastor of the First Presbyterian church, were de lightful features last night of the ex ercises incident to the first evening of commencement week at the popular institution indicated above. The exercises took place in the chapel of the High School building and were attended by a most represen tative and appreciative audience. In cluding Mr. Samuel Northrop, chair man of School Committee No. 2, Su perintendent Jno. J. Blair, Prof. B. D. W. Connor, principal of the school; Mr. B. G. Worth, Miss NelHe;CooV, supervising principal of Union"' and other schools in the system, and many other friends of education. Seated upon the platform which was beauti fully decorated with evergreens, potted plants and cut flowers, were the speaker of the evening, Miss Lucy Mcintosh, president. Miss Emma Morton, vice president, and Miss May Walsh, sec retary of the Alumni Association. The exercises opened with "The Cradle Song" (Choplo), charmingly rendered by Miss Bena Morton. That was followed by a beautiful vocal solo, "Sweetest Flower That Blooms" (Hawley), by Miss Mildred Davis, after which the president, Miss Lucy Mc intosh, presented, in pretty language, the speaker of the evening. Dr. Wells had for his sub ject, "Wise Beading." He said that he had originally intended to speak to the alumni of the loyalty they should bear toward their alma mater, but after a pleasant association with members of the student body of the High school, he was convinced that advice along that line is unnecessary. He analyzed his subject by making three subdivisions, "Why, How and What to. Bead," and spoke eloquently and with profit. People ahoud read, he said, because it gives them In telligence and a knowledge of the past that is not obtainable otherwise; it Is an inspiration to the youth and a comfort In old age. . Instances . were cited where persons made themselves famous and an agency for great good by the reading of a single book. Under the subdivision of "How to Bead," Dr. Wells made a splendid ap peal for systematic and careful read ing, laying stress upon the Inadvlsa bility of desultory and casual reading. What to read was answered by the laying down of negative propositions, closing with a forcible plea for the Bible, the book of books, not only for its intrinsic value, but because it was the standard from a literary, practical and every other point of view. . : Dr. Wells closed his splendid address in the midst of enthusiastic applause after which the' retiring president, Miss Lucv Mcintosh gave a brief but interesting sketch of the Alumni As sociation and members of the same who have achieved distinction In the musical, literary ana dusihom wuiiu. She also thanked those present 'for their attendance and gracefully dis missed the audience. - . The annual banquet to the graduat ing class was an - elegant and charm lag affair and lasted until nearly he midnight hour. The-menu was it tempting one and as honored guests were Dr. Wells and other of the promt nent personage In attendance.' The annual business meeting of the Association had previously been held at 7:80 o'clock In the cbapeL"; In grate ful recognition of her efficient services as actinglpresldent during the absence of her sister Miss Annette Morton was unanimously chosen president; Miss Mildred Davis was chosen vice President; Miss Carolyn Bale Hard wicke. secretary; and Miss Helen Fill yaw, treasurer, Miss Bessie Hanktns was elected to serve with the officers as an executive committee.

The celebration of the Twentieth of May, in honor of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence, was not so pronounced in Wilmington yesterr day as in former years, yet there were sufficient evidences of a holidav to warrant the assertion that local in terest Is still alive in our Kevoln- tionary history aad the people are not unmindful of the honor that Carolina won In the inclpiency, at least, of that great struggle. . - i As a rule all public offices were closed for the day and there was -a partial suspension of business on the floors of the Chamber of Commerce. Flags floated In the breezes from many buildings and a few of the harbor craft, and one or two salutes were fired during the day, the Jatter giving rise among l&e unobservant to wild re ports of an explosion, it may be said in passing. ' The greatest outward sign of the celebration was in the excursions by the Wilmington Light Infantry to Lake Waecamaw, " and the Boja' Brigade to Carolina Beach, the first nsmed In honor of theoompany's semi-centennial and the Brigade ex cursion ioonor of the Twentieth io' May itself.
