RICHARD RAZOR
At HnntersTille High School.
I will attempt to give only the
outline of the third annual commence
ment of the above school.
In the first place if I should tell all
it would the eight pages of the Times.
Id the second place the editor and two
or three printers have already worn
the hair off the tops of their heads
reading .my letters
The exeic'ses run through four days
and five nights, and were opened Sun
day night, the, 14th. A large crowd
assembled in the hall to hear the bac
calaureate sermon by Dr. A. G. Mc
Manaway, of Charlotte. Ha read the
15th Psalm and the 12th chapter of
Ecclesiastes and then preached from
the 27th and 28th chapters ot the
Acts of the Apostles, where we have
a full account of Paul's trip to Rome
as a prisoner. He compared human
life to a voyage, showing us that all
is not smooth sailing in life; that we
may expect storms and often ship
wrecks as Paul had. It wjs a grand
theme grandly conceived, thoughtful
and scholarly throughout, and deliv
ered in that dignified and impressive
manner that characterises all tho ut
terances of that learned divine, and
received the unqualified commenda
tion of all who heard it.
Monday night, the 15th, the anunal
celebration of the Catalian Literary
Society took place.
Tuesday night a contest between
the Agorean and Castalian Literary
societies in debate. Declamations and
original compositions in which three
young men from ea(h society took
part. B. R. Hunter, essay, "The
great demand for more and better edu
cation;" J. E. M. Bell, essay, "Some
of the chief elements of success. " T.
W. Hays, oration, "Intemperance'
R. J. Orr, oration, "Mission of wo
man." The subject for debate,
Should'the President of the United
States be eligible to a second term,"
E. J. McCain, of South Carolinas for
the affirmative and J. W. Douglass,
of Soutb Carolina, for the negative.
The boys contested every foot of
grojand; long before tbej had closed I
had mad up my mind never to offer
for the President's chair.
WeaiayT June 17th, a contest
in declamation for a gold medal be
tween the young men of class No. 2;
ten of this class were in the ring: P.
E. Barron, of Soutb Carolina, "Be
faithful to voar country;" .T. W.
, w
Brice, 'the loss of national character;"
S W. Douglass, of South Carolina,
"South Carolina against the Lsdge
Bill;" E J. McCain, of South Caro
lina, "Judgment Day;" T. M Mc
Coy. North Carolina, "Liberty a sol
emn responsibility;" R. J. Orr, of
Tennesse, "Foes united in death;" E.
A. Ranson, of North Carolina, "In
vective against- Cataliue;" E. M.
Williams, of South Carolina, "Politi
cal conservatism;" J. I. Wilson, of
North Carolina, "Our duties to the
Republic;" B. B. Wright, of South
Carolina, "British Refugees." 11 J.
Orr, of Belfast, Tennessee, carried off
the medal in tnis contest. Honorable
mention was made of J. W. Douglass,
E. J. McCain and E. M. Williams.
Twenty-six young ladies contested
for a prize, in reading and composi
tion. Miss Alice Macaulay won the
prize in composition, and Mabel Hel
ler on reading. Honorable mention
was made of Miss Carrie McKay on
reading.
The audience was treated Wednes
day evening to a public drill by ihe
military department: a prize was also
offered to the best drilled cadet. That
was one by E. M. Williams, of South
Carolina. Honorable mention of T.
W. Hayes. '
. Wednesday night exercises consist
ed. of speeches by the junior class, re
citation, tableaux, dialogues and mu
sic and was very interesting through
out. Ernest Orr won the orator's
medal in the small boys' class. The
medal offered by the musical depart
ment was won by Jose Sixto Rodri
guez, of Las Palmas, Mexico. The
medal offered by Prof Brown, of the
business department, to the student
who had made the greatest progress in
penmanship during the last session
was won by master Lattimore Alex
ander, of Aiexandriana, a ten-year old
boy.
Thursday, June 18. Early in the
morning the grove in front of the
school building wag filled with ugly
men and pretty women. The closing
day at this school never fails to draw
large crowds
At 10:30 the exercises were opened
with prayer by the rresiaent, ier
W. W. Orr.
The program for th day was
speeches by fourteen young men of
the senior class: E. L. Alexander, of
North Carolina, "Stars .and Stripes;"
J. E. M. Bell, of North Carolina,
"Our Fallen Heroes;" T. S. Harris,
of North Carol ina, "The South once
more in the Union;" T. W. Hayes, of

Mexico, "Brutujj on Csesar's death;"
M. W. Vanpelt, of North Carolina,
"Burning of Washington." M. W.
Venpelt won the gold medal offered
to the best orator in the senior class.
3. R. Hunter was given honorablo
mention. It was hard for the com
mittee to decide between several of
the contestants, many of the boys did
well.
The music was varied and artistic
in its merits displaying the accom
plishments of the young ladies, and
the skill of the teacher, Miss Minnie
Pressley.
The works of the art exhibit proved
that Miss Sallie Patrick had not been
idle.
The progress the primary depart
ment has made proved beyond a doubt
that Miss Minnie Pope had been at
work.
At 2:30 p. m., Hon. L. T Pad-
gett, of Columbia, Tenn., was intro
duced and made one of the most prac
tical literary addresses that has ever
been delivered in the High School
building. It was delivered without
notes, in a plain manner, so that all
could understand. He alleged that
the country was getting better every
day, morally. His talk on Female
Education was well received; he hoped
God would speed the day when our
sisters and daughters would have the
same advantages in education that our
sons and brothers have. Is life worth
living? He said that was owing, to the
road we selected when we started out.
We can give so little of tho speech we
wilt not attempt toive any.
Thursday night was the annual
concert. The first thing was the 26
young ladies who were contestants for
the medal, seated on the rostrum.
They selected two of their number to
deliver the salutatory and valedictory.
Mi."8 Mahel Holler and Miss Alice
Macaulay. This was done in fine
style. The appearance of the young
ladies very handsomely attired in their
snow white commencement dresses
elicited universal praiseworthy re
marks. Their elegant manners before
the public was in keeping with their
attire
The next session of this school will
open Sept. 29th. 1ST students were
on the roll the past year, North Crro
lina, South Carolina, Georgia, Ten
nessee and Mexico were represented.
I forgot to say that the Steel Creek
band furnished the music for the com
mencement proper; we can't get along
without them when there is good brass
music needed. It. R.
