t Commencement Opens at the State Normal Sermon to the Graduating Glass a Fine Effort-Many t Alumnae and Form- er Students in Attendance Greensboro, N. C, May -25: Special. The! baccalaureate swmon to the grad uates class by Rev. Samuel M. Smith, Jj.'t)., of Columbia, S. C, opened the eleventh annual commencement exer- . cises of the State Normal and' Indus trial College yesterday at 11 o'clock. The spacious college assembly hall was Tilled to overflowing, and numbers of people were turned away for want of ' even standing room. Preceding the sermon the congregation sang the dox ology. Rev. E. TV. Smith, D. IX, made the j opening invocation, - Miss Mary Snuggs gave a beautiful vocal selec tion, "The Peace of God," ; from Gou nod, Rev. L. TV. Crawford led in pray er and the college glee club, directed by ; Prof. Clarence R, Brown, sang a ibeautiful chorus, "Oh, Thou That Tellest," from Handel's Messiah, with Miss Minnie Jamison as contralto so loist. Dr. Smith took for his text Ex ouds 33:15, "And he paid unto him, if thr presence go not with me carry us "not up hence," and Luke 24:15, "And - it came to pass thatvhile they com muned together' antfiireasoned, Jesus " himself drew near and went with them." The theme of the sermon was foiiowship with God, and in developing ' this theme the eloquent divine preach ed a beautiful and scholarly discourse. Dr. Smith is a magnetic speaker, and it is not exaggerating to say that he n pde a very fine impression upon the audience, representing the very best element of the state's citizenship. The sermon was eloquent and forceful Throughout, and easily one of the best commencement sernfeffs ever delivered at the State Normal College. The les tons taught were such as to reach the v heart, and their fruition must be for - a better life. No one heard it without a realization of the great truths it con- - t fined. The" meeting of the Adelphian and Cornelian Literary Societies took place this afternoon, and the Alumnae As sociation held a meeting tonight. The following graduates of the State Normal and Industrial College are in attendance tipen the commencement exercises.

President Dudley gave a short sketch of the progress of the school work during the past year, which he pronounced very gratifying. He then introduced Rev. A. J. McKelway of Charlotte, who preached one of the l?st sermons that has ever been, deliv ered to the graduates of that institu tion. He based his discourse upon two portions of scripture, the one taaken from the book of Kings and the other from St. Matthew. His theme was "Manhood and Service." He then con trasted in a very practical way; man hood and childishness, service and pre ferment. The next exercise of com mencement will be- the anniversary of the Y. M. C. A. tonight. The Southern Loan and Trust; Com pany has awarded the contract to A. F. Brooks for the construction of the company's new branch bank building in South Greensboro. The building will be of brick, two stories high, with pressed brick and granite front, and the interior bill be modern in every par ticular. Excavating for the founda tion began today. The building will be completed in nicety days. A. & M. COLLEGE COMMENCEMENT ed demand for our contemporary lan guages. We need to know what is pe ing done by science workers in other lands. Since the thinking people of the world are not likely to unite soon in one language, there is but one alterna tive, a more universal knowledge of ex isting languages. Outside of the value to science workers of what their con temporaries are doing under any . cir cumstances, this is of special impor tance today in view of the fact that by means of cables under the sea and lightning flashes above, by rapid trans it steamers, frequent travel and by the wholesale exchange of printed matter with these countries we are .coming to be their veritable neighbors. Other and larger institutions have long since seen the importance of mod ern languages in science work, and our graduates are now seriously hampered in taking up university work oh ac count of their deficiencies in this re spect. This question was once brought up before the alumni association, and motion was passed that the association instruct the alumni members of the board to use their influence to adjd a chair of French, German and Spanish. It seems that this has heretofore met with the objection that there are not enough science students to justify the c hair. This objection can be no longer maintained, as there are. now over 200 students taking science. Popular rank is in a way a term rela tive to the time of a.ction of the deed upon which this rank is based. The ranking man of any time needs primar ily but to be ahead of his contempories; put him a hundred years further on and his greatness would likely cease to be. The world honors and calls great that which is- ahead of its sur roundings. The few little electrical discoveries of Franklin a long time ago have redounded as greatly to his honor as has to Marconi the wireless message flashed across the sea. When a man or a nation grasps and applies a truth far ahead of their contemporaries, then the world bows down and renders homage; on the other hand, just as a man, a nation or an institution fails in progress to keep up with their fellows, just so do they fall short of the world's ideals, and sink toward ' oblivion. ARGUMENT IN WILCOX CASE TODAY The special appeal to the supreme court in the case of James Wilcox for the killing of Miss Nellie Cropsey at Elizabeth City will come up for argu ment before the supreme "court today. The case, for the appellant will be ?,r- I gued by Mr. EI F. Aydlett of Elizabeth City and TV. M. Bond of.

L GVBROOKS -AND THE LOAN FUND Anxious for District Officers to Get Money in Time for BuildingThis Summer Prof. E. C. Brooks returned yesterday from Monroe, where he spent the past week on business connected with the closing of the graded schools there, he being the retiring superintendent of the schools. While away he finally closed up his connection with the schools and will now devote his entire time to the. duties of his position in the office of the state superintendent of public In structionthe direction of the summer educational campaign and the manage ment of the state public school-house loan fund. Professor Brooks' successor as superintendent of the Monroe schools is Professor Rast, late of the Darling ton (S. C.) schools. Professor Brooks says there are now a great number of applications from many counties for loans from the pub lic school-house loan fund, but owing to difficulties in getting reports from the various county superintendents as to districts that will want to borrow from this fund, it will necessarily be some time before reports will be suffi ciently in hand to warrant fhe' depart ment in proceeding with the distribu tion of loans. The circular , letter mentioned some days ago as being prepared for the county superintendents of schools, re questing them to make report as to what loans they need from the school house loan fund, has not yet come from the state printers, nor has the copy been sent to them yet. The fact is, the state printing is so very much behind that it is probable that these letters will be gotten up on typewriter by use of carbon sheets. Professor Brooks will use every pos sible means of facilitating the prelimi nary work, so that the officers 'of- the school districts for which money is bor rowed may have the money for build ing the school houses during the sum mer.

OLDS RETURNS Brings Fresh News of the Wrecked Portuguese Barque Col. .Fred A. 'Olds returned Sunday afternoon from Beaufort, where he has spent the past three weeks recuper ating. The colonel is greatly improved and is as brown as a hickory nut. lie spent his time rowing, fishing and romping. He attended a big pony pen ning on the banks and gives a most interesting account of it. Colonel Olds says that the - latest news there about the Portuguese barque T era Cruz VII, wrecked at Ocracoke, is that the captain, who Was supposed to have fled, is one and the same as the mate. The collector of customs of New Bern has gone to Ocracoke to examine the wrecked Portuguese barque, since it is reported that . quantities of rum and whiskey were concealed under a false deck.
