To beheld at Asheboro July !7tE ' and I8th The Executive Committee of the County Sunday School Association . met in the Presbyterian Church la Asheboro last Monday morning, to make plans for the annual Conven tion of the Association. An invitation having been extend ed for the convt-ntion to be held in Asheboro, that place was de cided on and the 17ih and lli'.h of August fixed as the dates for holding it. The growth' of this work has been such that it wis thought btBt to follow the example set by the State Association and plate a limit to the delegation. The officers of the Association will be delegates by virtue of their office, as well as the President and Secretary of each township, and the superintendent'of each Br.hool. In addition to these,, the citizens cf Asheboro will enter- . iiia one delegate from each school. Credentials will be mailed to the superintendents of the school and these must be properly filled in and sent several days before the Uonven- to Miss Berta Ellison, Franklinville,. N. 0., who will communicate with the local committee on entertain ment. Each delegate, when assigned a home will be expected to pay a registration fee of twenty five cents, the money thus receivea to be usecL. iu defraying the expenses, of the speakers attending the Convention, printing of programs, and any other expenses incidtntal to the holding of the Convention. Heretofore the expenses of the County Conventions have been paid almost entirely by the towns in which they were held, and the committee, following the example of the State Association in" this alao, have adopted this plan,, in order that this expense may be borne by the. Sunday School workers, all over the county. Steps were taken . to secure some . of tbe most prominent speakers in the State for the occasion, and their - name3 will be announced later. Guilford College Commencement The readers of The Courier will be interested in a report of the announcements made at Guilford College commencement, which oc curred on the 31st ult. The scholarships awarded by Haverford College, Pa., and Bryn Mawr College, Pa., both went to students of Randolph county, the former to Mr. William Herbert Howard of Meohanic, and tne latter to Miss Lillie Elliotte Bulla of Sophia. ' These scholarships are awarded annually to students in the senior claBS who make the best record, Haverford College giving $360,00 towards the expenses of one year in that institution, and Bryn Mawr College $400.00 for a like pur pose. The commencement exercises were of an unusual interest both on ac count of the large number in the graduating class and also because of a donation of $15,000.00 made by Jeremiah S. Cox of Greensboro towards the building of a dormitory for boys. There were twenty-two members who received the bachelor's degree eleven young men and eleven young women. It was also announced that the Friends of North Carolina will in the near future erect a yearly meet, ing house on the college campus.
