- i i t f - t 17 I : ' r i RuX-E IG-H, 1ST- O- WEDNESDAY . .JUNE 17, 1885. THE B0YSAND GIRLS. PLACE lBnR CIosIdk Exercie of Salem Female Aeldf myfthe Vimr of the Soutta A Brilliant Occasion. Salem, N. C, June 12, 1885. The quiet town of Salem-the elder Bister of Winston, the Twin City is a scene of un usual life and interest this week, in view of the Commencement Exercises of Salem Female Academy, the oldest institution of learning in the Southern States., Parents and friends are gathered from near and far to grace the occasion with their pres ence; and well are they repaid by the brilliant and attractive features of an un usually acceptable programme of exercises, so well rendered as to fully satisfy even the most exacting critic. The Academy was founded by the Mo ravian Church in 1802, and opened for the receptioiFoT pupils May 16th, 1804. Un interruptedly through this long period of time have its sessions opened and closed until over 5,000 graduates from this Alma Mater have been scattered through every Southern State, well fitted in every par ticular to grace the home and become bright ornaments in the social circles of their respective communities. Time has only served to elevate the character of the Academy by the introduction of every improved facility and method of instruc tion which the progress of the present day has developed. This institution is now under the direc tion of Dr. E. Rondthaler, Principal, with Rev. J. H. Clewell, Assistant, with a large and efficient corps of teachers in every department. The course of education is thorough, and no pupil leaves the graduating class without a well-earned and merited di ploma. Well may our towns, section, State, and the whole South look with pride upon an institution from whose walls such an army of our fair daughters have gone forth whose characters were formed and whose lives were prepared in every way to enter upon the many useful spheres of life al lotted to woman in this God-blessed Southern land of ours. Years ago, before the introduction of railroads, the arrival of conveyances freighted with patrons and visitors from all, even the most remote portions of the South, heralded the advent of comm encement day prior to its arrival, but the iron horse has served to change this feat ure, and a few days of fitful fever, of gayety andlife, and all is over. Commencement week was formally opened June 7th, at 10.30 o'clock a. m., with an able sermon to the graduating class by Dr. A. W. Miller, of the First Presbyterian Church in Charlotte, N. C. His text was Genesis ii. 18v. "And the Lord God said, it is not good for man to be alone." This subject was handled with marked ability, and a large, attentive and appreciative audience filled the church. The choir on the occasion rendered several selections of sacred music from the best composers in excellent style. 8ENIOR ESSAYS. Tuesday evening in the beautiful Acad emy chapel came the reading of the Se nior essays, interspersed with .music. Charming music likewise preceded the in troductory address by Dr. Rondthaler.

The essays were well written" and well delivered. They gave evidence of a marked proficiency in original thought and composition, and did not evince the assistance of teachers and professors usu ally so noticeable a feature with such ef forts at college commencements generally. The young ladies read with clear, distinct voices, and with such modulations in their utterances as to give proof of a very su perior elocutionary training. The programme, though long, was by no means tedious, the youth and beauty of the performers tending not a little to ren der unnoticed the flight of time by the au dience. 1 he musical renditions interspersed among the essays, were very creditably given, and especially did the rich contralto voice of Miss Swift, in her song, the "Three Fishers," entrance the audience ; Owing to sickness, Misses Broadaway ana Brown, oi Winston, were omitted from the programme. The hall was plainly decorated with ev ergreens, the scarcity of flowers being a Ycrj lurmuBMj omission, in view of the numerous floral tributes that were present- ea to eacn participant, converting the stage into a perfect sea of buds and bios soma and sweet innocent young face. 1 We accord special praise to Misses Riggs, Bitting, Williams and Jones, for happy selection of subjects, for excellence in composition and clear pronunciation in . reading, while Miss Miller of smiles by her humorous mention of the 4nnilw v. u ART RECEPTION. inis department of the school consti tutes a very interesting feature and the ex hibits were m. every way highly satisfac iv Miss G d"IY"dle WOrk, taught y Miss Q.

The event of the occasion was the unex ceptionably brilliant concert given on Wednesday night, at 7 :45, under the di rection of that master musician, Prof. Fred. Agthe. We append the programme : PROGRAMME PART ,1. 1. Chorus " Hark againthe thrilling horn." Cinderella (Rossini). Singing Class. ' 2. Piano Rippling Waves (Bendel). Miss E. Bitting. 3.

The stage was occupied by over one hundred performers, the exercises begin ning with the opening chorus, which was brilliant and sparkling, and gave token to the audience of other rich treats soon to follow. The duets, songs and instrumental ren ditions were given in a manner that won applause from the most austere musical connoisseur. We cannot refrain from com menting on Miss Bitting's "Rippling Waves; " Miss Rose's song, " The Future still Shines Brightly;" $rio, "Waking Birds," Misses Jones, Swann and Spencer; Miss Rondthaler's song, " Bliss Un bounded;'" and Miss Swift's charming " 0 why. alas! " closing part first with a very fascinating quartette, to which the male voices added greatly. The laurels for Prima Donna of the even ing were closely contested for by the so prano voices of Misses Rondthaler and Rose ; the alto voices by Misses Carmichael and Swift. In part first, and especially the oration, "Athalie," which is one of the finest pro ductions of Mendelssohn, closed the even ing programme. With scarcely an exception, the thoughts oi tne composer were given clearly and definitely, and great credit is reflected upon Prof. Agthe and the performers, the first for thorough instruction, and the lat ter for close and careful study, which en- aoitd tnem to nil their respective parts so creditably in the oratorio. COMMENCEMENT DAY. Thursday morning opened bright and clear, with a cool and bracing atmosphere. As on tne preceding evening tha .chapel was filled to overflowing. The rostrum contained Gov. Scales and family, the President and Assistant Principal of the College, local and visiting clergy, the board of trustees, the senior class of '85 and the incoming class of '86 24" of the former and 36 of the latter.

The first selection was grand and the instrumental accompaniment quite a pleas ing feature ia point of variety. Rev. R. P. Linebach read a Psalm and Rev. C. L. Rights, President of the Board of Trustees, ottered a fervent prayer. The salutatory address and prize essays were acceptably given and were acknowledged by the au dience with applause, and a profusion of flowers showered upon the stage. Miss Rondthaler sang " My Abode " in her ac customed pleasing style, and Dr. Bagwell, of the M. E. Church, Winston, introduced as speaker, Dr. Carlisle, of 8.C, the pre viously announced orator, owing to ill health, having been compelled to cancel his engagement. Dr. Bagwell's remarks were well timed and instructive and repleteiWith good ad vice to the scholars, teachers and audience. Dr. Rondthaler next: made a few brief re marks upon the occasion, the institution its past and present history. ' He closed by introducing His Excellen cy, Got . Scales, who in his usual graceful and felicitous style and polished manner, addressecV &. seoloTyelassand awarded the diplomat to 24 young graduate; likewise) presenting the awards i: music. The Govern spoke of the school in pleas ant terms, of its honored age, and bow for geVeralioa- member : of bis family had Men instructed within its walls of the many noble wdtnen the wives and moth ers throughout the State and the South who were indebted for their domestic qualifications and social standing to the training given them in Salem Female Academy. He dwelt with eloquent pathos on .the fact that our honored dead must not be forgotten, and to the ladies of the State was entrusted the duty of cherishing their memories. He counselled them to keep the Bible as their guide; and how the ladies and gentlemen of the State leav ing our colleges each year to fill important trusts and be our successors, were truly the "jewels" of North Carolina. The valedictory by Miss Adams was tenderly and affectingly read, and brought tears from the eyes of both old and young. Thus closed the entertainment and 81st session, and a truly brilliant occasion has it been throughout. To the departing young ladies we can but wish a safe jour ney home, and a fong and happy life of usefulness ; To those returning and to the teachers a pleasant vacation, and to the Academy continued years of prosperity without limit. NOTES. His Excellency, Gov. Scales, and the graduating class dined? at the Academy Thursday noon. Eight of the Southern States were rep resented at the Commencement this year. The halls of the Academy were beauti fully decorated with shrubbery and trail ing vines, presenting a very cool and at tractive appearance. Miss Dora Adams, of Georgia, the youngest member of the graduating class, has spent seven successive years at the Academy, the greater portion of her fresh young life. A stroll through the spacious pleasure grounds in the rear of the building is a delight to the eye. Flowers, arbors, springs and babbling brooks abound and chosen spots for pleasant and healthful out-door games are to be seen upon every side. The Park comprises several acres. The Salem Cornet Band tendered Gov. Scales a serenade at the Belo House Wed nesday evening. His Excellency responded in pleasant terms regarding Winston-Salem, their people, prosperity and excellent educational institutions; closing his re marks by saying that the concert just given, in the Academy was one of the most brilliant he had ever attended. One hundred and eighty-seven names are enrolled on the catalogue of the session just closed. The next session is announced to open September 3d. 1885. His Excellency Gov. Scales and Mrs. Scales, with Misses Katie and Jennie Scales, arrived Wednesday noon, and were received at the depot , by Mayor Smith, of Winston, Dr. Rondthaler, of the Academy, and the Forsyth Riflemen, the latter escorting the distinguished guests to the Belo House. A reception was tendered Gov. Scales and party in the handsome rooms of the Twin City Club Thursday evening, from 9 to 12 p. m. A ball, complimentary to Miss Katie and the graduating class, was an attractive feature of the occasion. The wealth and beauty of the sister towns were truly gathered there. Thirty six young ladies have entered the Senior Class of 1886, the largest on the record of the Academy. Rights. AFTER THE GIRLS Come Trinity's Bright Bora. Trinity College, N. C-, June 12, 1885. I have just finished a good breakfast; had some of the best fried chicken a man ever put down his throat, and biscuit and coffee good enough for an editor. I am at the Parker House, as you may see from the heading of this paper, and everything about me is so nice and clean and fresh. I ought to write you a first-rate account of the Trinity commencement. I'm afrHTA-l I'll not though, for pretty eyes kept me up nearly all night, and I'm kinder stupid. 1 ne exercises began on f nday evening. Juce 5, with declamations by members of the preparatory classes. The classes were presented by Prof. N. C. English. On Saturday evening the Freshman class was presented and the announcement made that a gold medal, given by Mr. J. C. Pin- nix, Pclham, N. C, would be awarded the best declaimer. Mr. Ed. L. Ragan, Bush Hill, N. C. carried off the gold. Sunday morning at 11 o'clock the ser- i mi i mon oeiore me ineoiogicai class was pleached by Rev. Paul J. Carraway. It was an impressive sermon and calcu lated to do good. Monday evening, Prof. Gannaway pre sented the "Sophs," who tried their hands, rather their tongues, at declaiming, and the prize medal was carried off by Mr. R. L. Smith, Norwood, N. C. ; subject, "Robt. E. Lee." Mr. Smith is a tall, strong, fine-looking young man, and looks like he will be able to go through the retraining two years, of his course without impairing his health. He is a close stud ent, I hear. Tuesday evening, Prof. Bandy present ed the Junior class. The Bodie medal was the prize to be contended for, and, of course, each young man came prepared to do his best. But Mr. L. P. Skeen, Mt. Gilead, N. C, did best of all so the com mittee said, and you know what it said was what counted for a prize. If I were contesting I'd rather have three, of a com mittee of five, say he's the man, than all the world besides. This is not the first time Mr. Skeen has distinguished himself ; he carried off a medal last year. I am sorry to say the young man has more brain than body. He had better look to his health; three hours per day in the gymna sium would do him good. Wednesday, June 10, at 11 a.m., Prof. Heitman, Chairman of the Faculty, intro duced Rev. R. A. Young, D.D., Nashville, Tenn., who preached THE ANNUAL SERMON before the graduating class. The Doctor is a giant in size. He must be six feet six in stocking feet; and from the quan tity and quality of his sermon and its eiiect on nis nearers, l m constrained to think he's a big man all over. I don't much like the D.D. he has got hitched to his name he'd be a bigger man without it, ana tne uoctor seems to think so too, or I misinterpreted the flash of his ftvp Ann the tone of his voice when in the outset of nis sermon he asked to be allowed to imi tate Martin Luther for once in hislifp and spoke of seeing before him forty doc tors of divinity. And, Tight here, allow me to say that 1 am glad to say that the laeuity ana irusiees oi Trinity have good sense enougn to see that the D.D.'s and LL. D.'s are getting to be a host that no man Can number (far more numerous than Dr. 'Blacknall's colonels), and have refused to make any more of thSm.

I shallattempt no synopsis of it. Twonld be dojng the great preach tjr;a wrong:.;; It ia enough s to. Bajfali who heard were wise! for having heard. He watpreaching to the boys, and the great truth he, tried to impress was, it is BETTER TO BE GOOD THAN TO BE GREAT. And, I think, before he finished, we all were of that mind. By request of Dr. Young the choir sang, "What a friend we have in Jesus." The services were closed with prayer by Rev. W. C. Wilson. At 3 p.m., came the lit erary address by 8ENATOR M. W. HANSOM. The Senator was introduced by Hon. James W. Reid The Senator said that he had had no time for preparation, but had come to keep his promise. He asked how many students were at Trinity, and, being told about one hundred, he dwelt upon the good they could do for North Carolina, and their country. And even the good that one might do could not be cal culated. He referred to Gladstone (the very mention of the name called forth great applause) standing serenely, while the storm of abuse raged about his head, that he might save Europe from woes such as have not been experienced since 1815. He spoke oi the great good Dr. B. Craven had accomplished for North Carolina, and bore touching tribute to his charac ter. He was proud of his friendship. He charged the young men to be virtuous, for without it there was no happiness; to love their country, for there is no good with out love of country ; to love and honor the good women of the country, this being the highest and greatest of all duties next to love of country. The address was well received and appreciated by both students and visitors. At 8:30 p. m. was the annual MEETING OF THE ALUMNI, and the address by F. M. Simmons, Esq., of Newbern, N. C. Mr. Simmons was in troduced to the audience by Rev. N. M. Jurney, president of the association. The address was fine and showed deep thought.' Many were the congratulations given the young Athenian, borne did not hesitate to say it was the big thing of the Com mencement, and that some was composed of men who think. The association elected as its officers for the ensuing year, President, N. M. Jurney ; Secretary and Treasurer, B. C. Beckwith, of Raleigh ; Orator, J. M. Brown, of Mont gomery; Alternate, G. 8. Bradshaw. THURSDAY, COMMENCEMENT DAY, came clear and cool, and I tell you, Mr. Register, if I bad had the muking of the weather, it could not have been made more to my liking. By 10:30 o'clock the large chapel was packed, at least three thousand people being present. The ex ercises were begun with prayer by Rev. F. L. Reid, of tbe Raleigh Chrtitian Adto cate. The Greensboro band followed the prayer with music, "Stephanie," Gavotte, and at intervals during the exercises it gave us some fine music. Prof. Pegram presented the members of the Senior Class, who spoke in the follow ing order: Subject: "Breaking Ground" James Monroe Downum, Concord, N. C. Mr. Downuin had given his subject thought, and made a good impression. "The Ideal" Archibald Cheatham, Henderson, N. C. Mr. Cheatham is quite youthful in appearance, bnt I think he has good control of his nerves. "Chromos" Frank Pierce Wyche, Lau rinburg, N. C. Excused from speaking on account of sickness. "Governmental Knowledge Necessary" Jesse York Fitzgerald, Liuwood, N. C. Excused on account of hoarseness, "Moral Sublimity" Paul Jones, Tar boro, N. C. This young man's speech was an adroit compilation of beautiful passages from the poets and orafors, and was well suited to a display of elocution, in which the young man excels. His fine elocution gave him the Wiley Gray medal, the prize most coveted by a Trinity stu dent. "Immorality in Politics" John David Ezzell, Goldsboro, N. C. Mr. Ezzell has rather an effeminate voice and is not very striking in appearance, being rather under size, but the subject matter of his speech was of the best. "The Cavalier in England and Amer ica" William Jordan Exum, Stanton- burg, N. C. Mr. Exum's speech, for gen eral excellence, was much the Best speech of the day. He had his subject well in hand, and impressed the audience with the fact that they listened to no ordinary y. By general opiniou he should have had the medal, but it seems the committee understood the medal was given fordecla mation, the subject matter and general excellence not being considered. "Ihe Scientific Movement" James Alexander Elliott, Thomasville, N. C. Mr Elliott has a fine open face and is a first- rate speaker. The Valedictory Addresses were deliv ered by J. M. Downum. This young man deserves much credit. While acting ai janitor to pay his tuition fees, he 60 man aged last year as to secure the Braxton Craven medal, given for best general aver age in a. A. course, and at last the Vale dictory of his class. I pull off my hat to mm. DEGREES CONFERRED The degree of A. B. was conferred J. M. Downum, Monroe, N. C. ; F. on P Wyche, Launnburg, N.

Mr. Reid's reputation for oratory suffered nothing on Luai occasion. 1 he benediction was pronounced ' by xvev. v. a. iJODDitt, ana the Uommence ment of '85 was a thing of the past. The general verdict is, " It was a decided sac cess." i0. trinity's obtmok. C Cnder the supervisorship of Messrs. James A. Gray, Julian 8.rCrT aad J. W.

ALL THE CROPS ARE GOOD in this section, except wheat and oats. The people here make no complaint of hard times. They raise all they consume, and some to spare. A big crop of tobacco has been planted, and it is growing well. B. C. B. WAKE FOREST. The BaptUts' Prospering College. It is unnecessary to tell the Register's readers that the Commencement of Wake Forest College was a success they are al ways successes. But as the institution in creases in years and prosperity, the good effects are shown at the Commencements. The Baptists all over the State are aroused and in sympathy with the college and its management. On Monday the vis itors came on every train, and at the com petitive declamation in the evening many faces from a distance were seen in the aud ience. Six young gentlemen were selected from each society to speak. All did well, but Mr. W. P. Stradley's effort was adjudged the best by the committee, and he was awarded the medal. THE COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES, PROPER, began Tuesday, 8 p. m. An appreciative audience was assembled, and after music by Kessnich's excellent band, Mr. JohnE. Ray, presidBl of the Alumni Association, introduced tn'ator of the occasion, Rev. Geo. W. SandWin, who delivered the Alumni address. Mr. Sanderlin announced his subject: "The Suggestions, Inspira tions and Experiences of Farming, and a Farmer's Life the Antidote to Many of the Evil or Injurious Tendencies of the Present Times.' He discussed it in an elaborate and interesting manner. Farm ing, he said, (1) in its inspirations and suggestions, supplies the antidote to super ficiality and sham which is a pernicious tendency of the present times, (a) rarm- ng furnishes the antidote to the thattectd lives and decrease of longevity, from over work and other worry, so prevalent in these times. (3) Farming is an antidote to the dissipation and excesses so prevalent in these times. (4) In farming and a farmer s life we have suggested the antidote to chronic inertia, commonly called laziness, which is, with some, a noticeable tendency of the present times. (5) There is a tendency among all classes in these times to " make haste to get rich." Farming, if it does not fully correct this tendency, does, in fact, greatly discourage it. In general it is at least an antidote to plttiorU poclets. (6) There is an equally noticeable tenden cy in these times to make haste toQet povr, and here is where the larger number of us are the most seriously affected. Farming is an antidote to impecunious pockets, or, at least, makes the disease endurable, and. properly applied, will cure the disease al together. (7) To rise to higher ground, farming and a farmer's life inspire patriot ism and a tore tor twertu, and so it resists the tendency of these times to centraliza tion of power and subversion of the liberties of the people. (8) The suggestions and in spirations of farming furnish an antidote to the tendency towards Atheism so pain fully apparent in these times. (9) In farm ing, that is, in a garden and with two gar deners, were first found the secret of a happy marrietl life, and thus is supplied the anti dote to domestic infelicity and divorce, so prevalent in these times. In conclusion, he said, let farmers magnify their high calling. A thorough education is as im portant in this as in other professions. The greatest amount of education is not amiss. The time has passed for taking the fool son to make a farmer out of him. After this admirable address, the mem bers of the Alumni-Association retired to the reading room, where a banquet had been spread.1 Here the time was most pleasantly spent in refreshing the "inner man " and speech-making: till one o'clock. WEDNESDAY. The interest that the people of the State take in Wake Forest College is always manifested by the large attendance at the Commencement exercises. Anions the prominent men who had seats on the ros trum were Chief Justice W. N. H. i&mith and Judge A. S. Merrimon, of the Supreme Court of the State; Hon. S. M. Fifieer. State Superintendent of Public Instruc tion; Rev. Dr. F. M. Ellis, of Baltimore; Geo. R. French, Esq., Noah Biggs, Esq., H. C. Dockery, Esq., and Col. J. M. Heck. A large and appreciative audience had assembled to hear one of North Carolina's favorite sons, Hon. R. F. Armfield,. who delivered the address before the Literary Societies his subject: "Education in North Carolina." In the census this State is put down as one of the most illiterate States in the Union., This is not true. It is due to our extreme modesty. When a census-taker goes to. a Yankee and asks him what he knows, the Yankee tells him that he knows nearly everything; the North Carolinian tells him, when he comes to him, that he does not know anything, when in reality he can read and write. The census-taker does not take time to cross-examine him, and puts down what he is told. North Carolina is not so far behind the other States as some would have you believe. The duty of every State, and North Carolina especially, is clearly marked out. I shall speak of North Car olina. It is the duty of the State to put in the reach of every child a erood English education. I do not think that the State should go farther than that. I do not think the State should provide a free class ical education for any one. Give to one an English education, and if he desires to prosecute his studies farther he can find a way to do so. They appreciate an educa tion they work for themselves, more than they do one which they have to make no effort to obtain. Do not try to force an education on one who does not wish it and is not willing to make sacrifices to obtain it. No one is so poor that he cannot ob tain an education. With proper applica tion you can master anything. Everything gooa ana great tnat nas ever been accom plished has been accomplished by appli cation. All the knowledge you get that will be of any benefit to you, you must get it yourself. A teacher is only useful as a signboard to point the way to the road of knowledge and keep you from leaving the way, MEDAL AWARDS. After music the medals were awarded as follows: Mr. W. P. Stradley, Declamation medal; Mr. w . U. Alien, Wajce forest Student Es say medal ;, Mr, , G. C, Thompson, Whit field Latin medal ; Mr. R. H. Whitehead, Silcox Greek medal; Mr. A. T. Robertson, Montague French medal. The above medals were presented by uon. a. a. Merrimon. Hon. S. M. Finger presented the medals awarded by the Phitomathesian Society as ioiiows : ' The medal for the best essay to Mr. J. B. Pruitt, and the medal for improvement in oratory to Mr. W. S. Thompson. The Euzelian Society medals were pre sented by Hon. W. N.. H. Smith as fol lows: - ' The medal for, Jhe best essay to Mr. J. W. Hendren, and the medal for improve ment in oratory to Mr. W. C. Corbett. A WEDNESDAY SVKNING. P The class ofVSS are to be congratulated " on their good fortune in securing let. J!V it EfllsD. D.i pastor ofthe Eataw Place .Baptist church, Baltimore, to preach 'the Baccalaureate sermon Dr. Ellis de livered one of the grandest,, most . logical, and most eloquent sermons that it has ever been our privilege of hearing. His word pai ntingl, was magnificent, his ideli very pleasing, and his gestures always graceful and appropriate. It may truly be said of him that his whole person was eloquent. His' sermon will probably appear in the Biblical Recorder in about two weeks. His subject was ' Whole-heartedness in Chris tian work." Text Col. 3 : 23 and last clause of 24. THURSDAY COMMENCEMENT DAY. President Taylor advanced to the stand and spoke as follows". We welcome you to the 50th Commence ment. The clouds have cleared away and we have the bright sunshine to help us in this compliment to the graduating class. We will now be led .in prayer by Dr. F. M. Ellis, of Baltimore. SPEECHES OF THE GRADUATES. Mr. W. W. Holding, of Wake Forest, delivered the Salutatory Address. It was fresh and well delivered. This is the third son that that staunch Baptist, Willis Hold ing, has had to share the first honors of his class since 1880. The success of the other two is an earnest of his. "Act, act in the Living Present," was discussed by Mr. H. B. Conrad, of For syth county. He showed that the success of the great men of the world was the out come of a true appreciation of the present. "Clogs to National Progress," Mr. E. Edding, Wake Forest. He attacked pro miscuous and wholesale immigration, the hoarding up of great wealth, idleness, self ishness, intemperance, confinement of ed ucation to a favored few. "Triumphs of Electricity," Mr. J. A. Beam, Cleveland county. He made elec tricity the king of forces, the greatest dis covery. In an interesting way he recounted the uses of this wonderful agency in the past, and the possibilities before it as the most useful servant of man. It was Ben Franklin that caught the horse that was harnessed by Prof. Morse. "Hero Worship," Mr. W. C. Allen, Halifax county. From the worship of heroes of the past he argued up to the present and showed how even in this age people submit to inferior men about whom they revolve as satellites. Cross-road and ward politicians fared badly at this young gentleman's hands. "The Reformation," Mr. J. R. Hunter, Wake county. He reviewed the history of the causes, means, and the main actors of the great era in the different countries of Europe. Theses were presented by the following graduates, who were excused from speak ing: "Change," J. B. Harrell, Gates county; "An Apology for State Pride," J. J. Hendren, Alexander county; "De votion to Principle," J. W. Hendren, Alexander county ; "Fixed Purpose," A. T. Hord, Cleveland county ; "Things Ma terial and Immaterial," J. M. Lucas, Marl boro county, S. C. ; " Literary Tastes," J. B. Pruitt, Franklin county; "The English (Question, ti. Warn, Kobeson county. Valedictory Address, " llac olim trtetni nisse jutabit," Mr. A. T. Robertson, Cataw ba county. This young gentleman attained the highest marks of any of the members of his class. Mr. Robertson is a ministerial student, and will attend the Seminary at Louisville in October. He is very promis ing maeea. mere was one improvement to be no ticed in this class. Heretofore, the audi ences have experienced great difficulty in hearing most of the speeches. It gratified us to see that the young men spoke out clearly and loud enough to be heard. This improvement may probably be laid to the account of the new President. After the speeches President Taylor de live red a short Baccalaureate address and conferred degrees. The substance of his address was as follows : For three, four, five years, young gentlemen, you have been laboring for these diplomas. Do you think they are worth your toil. "Diplo ma" means primarily "doubling" doub ling the letter. But I do think it does represent the idea of doubling your power. If you go forth into life with this power, I shall be gratified. Your true work in life is before you. Your alma mater has been a true mother to you. Go forth in life to be true men. Head off the gold-plated, sugar-coated lies of the world. Be sensi tive lor trutn. lie brute men. To be vic tors you must be fearless. Be workers. You have to be workers. You remember the great Corliss engine of the Exposition of 7b. lou do not hear much about it now, but it is making 100 cars every day. Your mother expects you to do valiant ser vice, fahe will expect you, the youngest of her alumni, to work for God through your college. He loyal then. .Farewell, and may uoa s ricnest blessings ever more abide with you THE BUSINESS SITUATION. Dr. Skinner, in behalf of the Board of Trustees, said : I want to say in behalf of the Trustees that we have had a very profitable and short session. Every dollar of our endowment is safe, and we intend to keep it so. I believe that we could re alize the whole sum in thirty days if nec essary. We will be asking you for another f 100,000 before long, and you will give it to us because we take such good care of this. The Trustees did not make any D jj.'s, L.Li. u.e, etc. we knew this was the "locust year," and therefore not i good year for them. One thing the Trus tees did you will be glad to hear. They offered free tuition to the sons of ministers. Dr. Skinner's address was witty and greatly rested the large audience. One of the most interesting meetings of tne commencement was that of the STUDENTS' AID ASSOCIATION. At 9 a. m. the North Carolina Bap tist students' Aid Association met in the college chapel. In the absence of Prof. Simmons, the president, Prof. C E Taylor, the Vice-President, called the Association to order, and J. W. Denmark was requested to act as. secretary pro tern After prayer bv Rev. C. Durham. Prof Taylor explained this as in his judgment the most imnortant nroier.t now nn fnnt hv the Baptists of the State, and read from the constitution the following: "Section 2. The object of this association shall be to afford pecuniary assistance by loan to such indicent vounf men desirincr to nn sue a course of instruction at Wake Forest College, as shall apply for and be deemed worthy of such aid, provided such appli cation be made in accordance with the laws of the association." Then he announced that annual mem bernhip was one dollar, and life member ship was ten dollars, and a long list of both life and annual members then inineri The association then elected the board of directors as follows: W. C. Powell. Rev. R. T. Vann, Prof. W. G. Simmons, w. 11. Pace, J. N. Holding, Prof. L. R. Mills, Prof. C. E. Taylor, N. Biggs. Rev. R. H. Marsh, Prof. Poteat, Rev, R. R. Overby, Jno. E. Ray, Rev. C. T. Bailey. N. B. Broughton, Rev. A. G. McMana- way; and the following officers were elect ed for the association : Rev. R. T. Vann president; W. H. Pace, vice-president; W x-u wen, treasurer; j. is. Holding, re cording secretary; Prof. W. L. Poteat. corresponding secretary ; Rev. Q. T.Bailey, auuuor. On motion of Rev. C. T. Bailey it was resolved that the funds of the association be loaned only to students who! have at least two studies in the collegiate depart ment. The, report of the committee to formulate conditions upon which the funds can be most safely secured, .was referred to the board of directors. ' ' Prof. Taylor says the association' iriust have $10,000 by the opening of next fall term, -and from the enthusiasm displayed at thi meeting, we feel sure the cash will come, and that it will be judiciously in vested, and that every one wno aias tnis cause now will not have to live long to see the fruits of this work. I The Question as to what plan should govern the management of the finances f the association was referred to the di rectors. ABOUT. EDITORS. 1 "This must be the dull time of the year," says the New York Sun, "for we see in the newspapers the usual talk about the establishment of a professorship of journ alism in some college. The . best profes sorship of journalism is to be found in any first rate newspaper office. The late Dr. Greeley used to say that no man could be come a first-rate editor who had not eaten printer's ink and slept on newspapers.!" Somewhat to the same effect, an editor ial friend of our's in North Carolina some time since remarked that "the severest fool that ever waltzed into a printing office is the college bred gosling stuffed to thie wag of his ears on Latin and Greek. Nof. The best and only school for the editor is the printing-office, and human nature is hjs book and the world his schoolmaster." ; It may be that a college-bred fool is thie worst of all fools, for a man who is a "fool " in spite of the training and knowl edge acquired at college and at school preparatory to 'going there, is a fool in deed; but it was not being "college-bred!' that made him so. We appreciate most highly the capabilities of a printing office as a school for an editor; we know too that there is very much to be learned in the book of human nature, much indeed that can be learned nowhere else. And we know too that the world is a good schoolmaster as well as a hard one; but we deny that these are the only places fitted to give the mental training and to lay up the store of knowledge so necessary for an' editor. It is idle at this late day to assert that, other things being equal, the man with access to good libraries, the benefit of good instructors, and generally the mental training to be had at first-clas? schools and 'colleges, has no advantage over one who has no such benefits. j Certainly, the Register is very free to admit that the knowledge acquired in the composing room and by the actual handling of the types is very important, if not abso lutely essential, to the making of the genu ine editor, and especially is this true in the South, where it seldom or never happens that a paper is able to separate the busi ness of printing into its proper depart-t ments. But there is no royal road to learni ing, and neither a brief nor a long stay in a printing-office or anywhere else will make a man an editor, unless while there he shall have become a student, and a close one too, of books as well as of men and of the world. t In no profession is there so much need for so much and such varied learning, aDt learning, too, that can be acquired only from books, as in the profession of journal-; ism. The doctor may be learned in med4 icine only and succeed admirably, and so the lawyer may understand nothing save about the processes of the law, and yet get along. The preacher, too, may take his text, and if he stick to it, do well. But, not a day passes that an editor is not called upon to form and express an opinion in re-j gard to law, morals, medicine, and politics too. If then he learns nothing ofj these things from the books, a blind leader of the blind he must bel And if a man must learn from books, what better placer is there for him to learn at than first at a good school, and then at a good college; under good instructors ? We have very! great confidence in labor, and but very little in genius, and going to school and going to college are but other names for labor. The Register has felt called upon to. say this much because it is opposed td everything that lowers the standard of journalism, either in fact or in popular es-J teem. The education of the composing room is an admirable thing in the making; of an editor, but the education of the school room is no less so. Do not let us disparage either the one or the other. RACE PROBLEMS. At the late session of the Presbyterian General Assembly (North) the Rev. Dr. R H. Allen, Secretary of the Freedmen's Aid Society, made some very startling statements, apparently based upon census returns, in regard to the future relative positions of white folk and black folk in America. There is a general notion that "figures cannot lie,'rand the good North era Presbyterians received as entirely accu rate the statements of Dr. Allen that by the year 1985 the white people will be; very small potatoes and few in the hill, while the colored man and brother and sister combined for the purpose will have multiplied and increased until the face of the sun may probably be ob scured by a number of black faces so great that its statement in figures takes one's breath away. They were printed in the. Register a few weeks ago, and the errors! made plain in an article reprinted with them from the New York Times. Mean time, they have occasioned much discus-1 sion, and some errors almost as great are put in print by some of our people of the South, notably by General Toombs, whose wonderful brain is matched by an equally wonderful capacity for extravagance of speech. Our friend of the Wilmington Star, too, has tried his hand on the mat ter at . issue and has worked out some rather peculiar results. The Star con eludes one of its leaders thus : "A few days since we gave the facts of tbe census, and tbey snowed unmistakably that the increase of the whites is much greater than the increase of the blacks In 1790 the blacks were 19.27 per cent, of the whole population. In 1880. ninety years afterwards, they were but 13.12 per cent. In the same time the whites have increased from 80.73 per cent, to 85.54 per cent. If the same thing should con tinue for a hundred years to come the ne groes would show only about 7 per cent, of the whole, whilst the whites would show about 92 per cent, of the whole ; the Indians furnishing the remainder. Be tween 1860 and 1880 the whites increased 13 per cent, more than the negroes in creased. ' "So, if the law that has Operated for ninety years shall continue for two centu ries to come, the negro race in the South will"be Tery nearly extinct' Our" friend's'cohcrpsion is rather a non ftwtr, that is W say, to speak after the fashion of the vulgar, it Won-t , , water. The facts of the census arc t),n!, . The black population was 757,20 in r 1,002,037 in 1800; 1,377,808 in Isi,,' , ' 777,656 in 1820; 2,328,642 in 18:J0- o 64,8 in 1840; 3.638,808 in 1850- 4 lu'Z in 1860; 4,880,009 in 1870; 6.. o 1880. In North Carolina the blacks um bered 105,547 in 1790, and in 1hn u.v were counted as 531,277. This looks very little like "extinction If there be no greater increase from G,T,sfi 793 people in 1880, than from 757.-um j'n 1790, there will be in, this country n,n, tv years nence 12,404,378 negroes- at the, -mi another ninety years, 18,227.96:! ;,, the end of the .Stor' two centnri..' more than 20,000,000.

Many times before this we have written about our college, but we have never felt, more like congratulating its friends thai) now. Undoubtedly the new administra tion is a success. President Taylor, every one feels, was born to be a college presi dent. He has satisfied his friends. The results of his sagacity, his prudence, his executive power, his energy, are seen on every hand. He has taken hold of the helm with a strong hand.- Iih. AVcn-. Col. John A. Young has been appoint ed postmaster at Charlotte in place of Mr. W. W. Jenkins, as wilWbc seen from our noon dispatches. Col. Young is an old and highly respected citizen of Charlotte, and is a true Democrat. He was appoint ed Lieutenant Colonel of the 4th X. (' Regiment by Gov. Ellis, and of which the brave Geo. B.
