pn. Commencement week at
Bain' Academy has come and
gone; many youths will nowturtf
their energies into channels oth
er than mental. Five medals
were .awarded by this, school.
The silver medal was won by
Master Hal DeArmond, in the
little peoples' elocutionary con
test Tuesday night. On Wednes
day night was held a debate by
members of the Philomathean
Society, on the subject, "Re
solved, That the United States
Should Prohibit Foreign Immi
gration." The aQirmative side
wo the question.
Mr. Cyrus- McCombs- received
the medal for best speech.
The Euphemean Society held
its content Thursday night, sub
ject, "Resolved, That Labor of j
Children Under Twelve Years of
of Age, in Cotton Mills, Should
be Prohibited by Law " The
, question was won by the affirm
ative, the medal for best speech
being awarded to Mr. D M Mann.
A large audience was present
at.each of these contests. The
art of debate is a most excellent
acquisition for a young man. It
not only helps him in business,
but in later years, when Cupid
throws a halo of beauty around
every tint of nature, it will ena

After intermission the audi
ence was entertained by a pert!
v nent addess by Mr. J F Newell,
of Charjotte. His speech fairly
bristled with forcible argument
and amusing "anec-tales".
In the presentation of medals
many good remarks were made
by Messrs. Stevens, of Monroe,
and McCall and Dowd, of Char-

lotte. Sallies and jokes were
freely indulged in.
Most excellent music was ex
tracted from brass instruments
by the Steel Creek Band and the
small boy was in all his glory.
At night a most excellent ren
dition of a drama, entitled, "The
Deacon," was given by students
to a packed house. It was a
financial success. This time an
hfrnoVbftion was sprung du thjb
sporting ytuth. It is cusfcmary
to admit girls fiee as an 'attrac
tion, like 'spreading honey for
flies. This time, however, the
girls had to pay as much as the
boys, it being considered that a
girl is capable of seeing as much
and having as good time as any
body. .
The students' social followed
the play as a finale of the com
mencement activities. .Daeih.

forth last Friday night by the
Club itself, which was to estab

the club and in the beginning
asked for the co-operation of the
'business interests of the town.
A few brief talks were made but
nonbusiness whatever transacted
except that it was moved that
Mr. H L Parks, the president of
the Club, appoint a committee of
three consisting of men not mem
bers of the club to confer with
the Club's committee as to a plan
of organization. A meeting will
be called whenever the commit
