ADDRESS BY DR. SMITH
Distinguished University Pro
fessor Speaks to Young
Graduates
Never In the history of Raleigh was
a commencement so well attended
and so appred.ited by the patrons as
the commencement exercises of the
Raleigh high school, which closed to
day In the Academy of Music. Aside
lrom the magnificent address hv Dr.
C. Alphonso Smith, professor of the
English language in the University
of North Carolina, and the presenta
tion of medals and diplomas, a sur-
; prise came to one lady and hundreds
in the audience, when a lifo-sizod
painting of Mrs. J. M. Bnrbee was
unveiled.
For fully five minutes after Mr.
Jack Harris had unveiled the portrait
the audience gave itself up to tumult
uous handolapping mid applause.
Mrs. Narbee was in the audience and
was completely surprised: For
weeks and weeks patrons of the
school, headed by the students, had
been preparing for this occasion, and
so well was the secret kept that Mrs.
Hiti-bee had not the remotest idea of
what was to come. Since 1881 Mrs
.Bnrbee has been connected with the
Raleigh schools. She now teaches
mathematics In the high school.
"I am now teaching the second
generation," said Mrs. Barbee to the
reporter this afternoon, when the ex
ercises were concluded. A host of
friends had gathered around to con
gratulate her, among the number be
ing Dr. Smith, the speaker of the day.
The painting was made bv Mr.
Jacques Busbce, of this city. It is a
good likeness and will adorn the au
ditorium of the high school building.
Mayor .lames I. Johnson accepted the
.portrait in behalf or the school com
mittee Address by Dr. Smith.
After a short praver by Dr. W.
McC. White, pastor of the Presbv
terlan church. Dr. Smith delivered as
magnificent an address as was ever
heard In llalelgh. His subject whs
"The Making of a Stepping-stone Out
of a Stumbling-block."
For over a half hour the orator, In
his polished and pure style, held the
undivided attention of the large au
dience, closing with an appeal to the
young graduates to hold before them
selves a high Ideal so that the institu
tion, with whose history they are now
linked, may ever be proud of theni.
The idea presented by Dr. Smith
was not new, but was original.
He treated It as a master and there
was none In the audience who did not
leave with the realization that he
had heard something worth while.
Out of stumbling blocks, through
overcoming difficulties, we make
stepping stones to success, was the
keynote of Dr. Smith's message to
the young people, and he illustrated
by means of Helen Keller, the blind
girl; Audubon, the naturalist; Hen
ry Fawcett. the English economist,

Dakota Desperado is Dead

Ambrose, N. D., May 29 "Dutch",

he would. He shot up the town once

Creighton Got Mad and This
May Have Inspired Triple
Murder in Canada
Ottawa, Ont May 2!). A strange
Incident developed at the inquest on
the triple murder of Mrs. James
Creighton and her two daughters,
native Americans, and, until a year
ago residents of Port. Huron, Mich.,
by the husband and father, James
Creighton, at Owen Sound.
On Victoria day, May 2, the fam
ily went to church as usual, but the
women refused to Join In singing
"God Save the King." Creighton
asked why. They replied that they
were citizens of the United States
and would not sing the British an
them. Creighton repliod with an
oath that he would have no one
around his house who was not loyal
to the British flag. It is thought
this may have some bearing on the
cause of the tragedy.
he plunged the spurs into the steed
and, with a brace of pistols flourish
ing, rode straight through the door
of a "blind pig.' He fired several
shots and ordered booze for himself
and animal. Then he started down
the main thoroughfare, shooting
right and left as he rode. J. A. Lip
pard, an editor, was slow in getting
out of the way and a bullet put hie
pencil hand out of business for a
time. About this time a citizens'
posse of 40 was ready with revolvers
and rifles and a bullet sent Dutch
tumbling from his horse, dead, as, he
had hoped, "with his boots on."

TEN ARE NOT GRANTED
Reasons of Governor for Gran
ting and Refusing Appli
cations Governor Glenn today granted par
dons to five persons and refused ap
plications m the case of ten others.
He changed the term of sentence in
the case of one man, on account of
ill health, from the roads to the Jail.
Many of the prisoners are well known
to readers of newspapers, most of the
cases being of recent date. In one in
stance it would seem that an inno
cent, man has been doing time for a
crime. The pardons and refusals,
with the reasons of the governor for
his actions, follow:
Pardons Granted.
State vs. Amzie Helms. The de
fendant was convicted of manslaugh
ter in superior court of Mecklenburg
county, -December term, 1907, a I
was sentenced to 12 mouths on public
roads. The deceased and the defend
ant were lovers, and in my judgment
the lulling was an entire accident.
The pudge must also have thought
this, or lie wou'4 not, hve given, such
a light sentence. The mother of the
dectr-sed, all the county officers, and
many leading citizens of Mecklenburg
county join in asking that this young
man be pardoned. He has borne a
fine character, and according to my
conclusion was guilty of no inten
tional wrong. I therefore grant, par
don, conditioned on his remaining of
good behavior, sober and industrious.
Stato vs. Joseph Dudlev Defend
ant was convicted April term, 1907,
ol Bertie superior court, of carnal
knowledge of a child, and sentenced
to two years on Bertie county farm.1
From the evidence submitted to me
in this case and from the strong
recommendation of the solicitor, and
also upon newly discovered testimony
which has been obtained since the
trial, I do not. believe the defendant
was guilty, and so upon request of
the solicitor, and in order that no
injustice be done, r grant pardon,
conditioned on defendant remaining
nt good behavior, sober and indus
trious. State vs, G, W. Hyams Defendant
was convicted December term, 1907,
Mecklenburg superior court, of lar
ceny, and sentenced to 12 months on
the public roads. Prior to his con
viction the defendant bore a good
.character, and was once a professor
in the A. & M. College, but while
under w influence of some drug he
got into bad habits and was guilty
ol laking books from lawyers. The
principal prosecutor, solicitor, trial
ludge, and a great many leading citi
zens ot Mecklenburg und other coun
ties beg me to give this man a chance,
and so on account of his previous
good character 1 have determined to
grunt, pardon, conditioned on his re
maining of good behavior, sober and
industrious.
State vs. Jack Palmer Defendant
