Long before the appointed hour for tbe beginning of tbe exercis es, a great concourse of people had gathered from several coun ties and two etatea to join the good people of WilUamaon town ship In this worthy enterprise, aad by the hour for the first number on the elaborate pro gram, the whole section about the school building was filled to its etaoet capacity with hun dreds aad hundreds of the rep resentative people of this section of the State, and mingling with them were hundreds from the Palmetto state. At the appointed hour, the spe riooa assembly room and two class rooms on the second flow, which opened into one large room by folding dobra, were, comforta bly filled with the waiting ea se mb ly. Tbe first number on the pro gram was America, this being followed by prayer by Rev, 0. W. Dowd. Then came the words of welcome spoken by Mr. L. M. Blue, one of Gibson's moot prom inent dtiseoa. and Scotland's next representative to the Gen eral Assembly. Mr. Blue’s worts of welcome were of tbe choicest language and conveyed to the hearts of his bearers a genuine Ir.osgof ihe real welcome, that ihaon extended through him. I? cueing hie address of welcome, Mr. Blue introduced Mr. 'P. C. Whitlock, a prominent attornsy of Charlotte. Mr. Whitlock delivered a moat foroefnl and interesting address and held hi a hearer* dose to him throughout his speech with his masterful reasoning and graceful delivery. Ha said in the outset that he had been requested by the committee to name his sub ject in advance, but had pot done am apd he feared that ere he fin ished the audience would coo elude be had no subject, but if fin speech had to be named, he ^would caU it “Enlightened Citl f sen ah Ip.” There was no highly flavored outburst of oratory ip hto address, bat whan unfolded and left with his hsarars it gave •videnoa that a master mind had pseparadit The reasoning and Mttfsstfcma by Mr. Whitlock as ta what constituted an enligfat aaad dtisauahip were fine and to tbs point He said that it all rested with the eburehes and the school houses, that the two went hand in hand sad no community COQIQ IT0T lOoUM QilQ tO DOOOflM its dthen.

Jnyaar keowe how to talk •*B!*.K to Is bra jf, V r school building that he wss help ing to dedicate, seemed to give him additional inspiration, which be readily and easily diffused among his bearers. He told them bow to run a suc cessful school and upon what this depended. He outlined the child'e doty, which was mainly that of being prompt and regular in at tendance and told them that the shirker in school would make a shirker in the business world, and warned them that the great commercial world bad no pleas for such men and women. He also told the parents of their du ty to the child and wnat tbs school and the young days of the child meant to it in after life, and laid special stress on the par ent's duty between the child and the teacher, and warned them that one of the unfortunate cir cumstances that often arises is the misunderstandings between j pupil and teacher and the danger of taJring the side of the child in these occurences, which he said .was so often the case, and which always tended to destroy the use-1 fulness of the teacher and spoiled the child. Dr. Joyner, ee is always the csss, delivered an interesting and moat helpful address and im pressed bis bearers with the fact that be js thoroughly in love with his work and that the edosatioo al advancement of North Caroli na is hts only job.
