35,000 VISITORiEXPECTED
In the ssemblnigof the Shriners
- wry
of North America, the Georgia
City Expects the greatest Conven
tion in Her History.;
Atlanta is pluming herself for the
biggest convention ever within her
.gates. Ec;;':n:g :iay 12, the im
perial council of the Shrine vdll be
held in that city. The festivities
will last a week.
Thousands of visitors are coming,
from all quarters of the North Ameri
can continent, from every state in
the Union, from Canada, some from
Mexico. , The estimate is that 35.000
will attend. Not all of these will be
Shriners. The low i-a:iroad rates
from every point have attracted mul
titudes who know nothing of the
"high sign" but who do know a" good
travel opportunity when they see it.
For over a year tne preparations
have been under way for this horde
of visitors. Even before the Dallas
meeting of the Shriners, in May,
1913, the Atlanta hotels signed con
tracts to Taarab temple for over two
thirds of their accommodations. The
meeting will be the biggest the Shrin
ers ever have held anywhere.
It will be a week of carnival, of
music and dancing and feasting and
parading. For seven days Atlanta
will be awake constantly.

Like the great drbof rmn that
sometimes precedethe snowers, the
entertainments giyen by the Column
bian and Erosophian laocieties on
Friday and Saturday wenings of
last week gave warning that; the
commencement season ' was near.
These two evenings iWerev truly de
lightfuL The large audience; gave

of the young people. ' Medals for
excellence in society; work were
awarded to Mr. Roy Bird, Mr. B. C
Jones, Mr. Raymond Howell. Mr. C
C Bennett, Miss ; Bessie Harwood
and Miss Bettie Snider.
Sunday evening, ReV. R. P. Elling
ton, of Sylva. spoke to the Y. MC.
A. and the Y. W. C. A. Mr. Elling
ton's address was enjoyed greatly,
as was evidenced by the apprecia
tion expressed.
Monday morning Rev. Rodney R.
Swope, rector of All Souls' Church,

Bi.tmore, preached the annual ser
mon. His discburse was clear, log

Tuesday morning came the grad
uating exercises. Mr. B. C. Jones,
the class orator, delivered in a force
ful manner an excellent original
oration entitled "The Unsceptred
Man." . Miss Euphremia Collins,
valedictorian, captivated the entire
audience by her splendid manner
of delivery and with the unusual
and most excellent character of her
valedictory.
Following these exercises came
the' annual address by Rev. W. . E
Abernethy, of Shelby, N. C. Mr.
Abernethy is a scholarly man and
pleased the audience with his im
pressive utterances.
At 8:30 P. M. perhaps the largest
audience that ever crowded into
the school auditorium on a "pay
night" assembled to witness the
annual concert.
The institution has had a success
ful year. Very few students have
enrolled who came for anything
else than business. The work done
by many of them is equal to that
of higher institutions. The school
has also succeeded in completing
the splendid new administration
building, one of the best owned by.
the State in Western North Carolina.
The summer school will open
June 16 and continue six weeks. , A
large attendance is expected.-even
at thisfirst session. ; l-
The people of this section : of the
