Ruskin's Message to the Twentieth
Century" and every one who heard

message for him. He discussed the

ciples for which he stood, his art
reiorm and literary and spiritual
message to this century.

Lust
XiKht.
The baccalaureate , sermon last
night was a masterpiece in fiterary
production. The subject was "The
America of Today and Tomorrow."
The speaker discussed the subject
from the standpoint of the educa
tional, industrial, political and in
dustrial democracy that exists in
..merica today and dealt with the
difusion of knowledge, property and
liberty and of morals in the coun
try. Throughout the address the
speaker viewed everything from a
viewpoint of optimism.

STATESVILLE FEMALE COLLEGE
Has Most Interesting ', Exercises-
School Doing Fine Work Cosmo
politan Institute.
Statesville, May 16.- The finals of
Statesviile Female College com
mencement were interesting and 'en
tertaining exercises, which were at
tended by an audience which filled
the large auditorium, Shearer mu
sic hall. The spacious rostrum was
occupied by the graduates, their lit
tle mascot, Winifred Pegram, mem
bers of the board of trustees, Presi
dent Scott, the speaker of the occa
sion, and others. With its decora
tions of class colors and flowers it
presented a pleasing appearance.
The exercises opened with the sing
ing of a hymn, followed by prayer
by Rev. W. T. Walker, of Barium.
The salutatory was by Miss Jane
Witherspoon Ervin, and was fitting
and cordial welcome to the audience.
The orator of the occasion. Rev.
C'has. T. Squires, of Lenoir, a mem
ber of the board of trustees of the
college, was introduced by President
Scott, and made a most excellent
address, though rather unique in
character and delivery. Holding a
Bible before the audience Mr.
Squires called attention to the oft-
repeated statement that the Scrip
tpres constitute a library of every
form of thought and expression, and
declared that he was convinced thai
this statement is words of soberness
and truth. His avowed purpose ol
the address was to engender into tin-
lives of the young ladies a love of
the study of the Scripture as litera
ture and to let the Scriptures speak
for themselves; he read passages
from the old books of the Bible
least read by the majority of peo
ple. So well were, they read by Hie
young minister, that Ins line ex
planations were hardly necessary to
prove their value as literature. After
analyzing what he had read and
showing its superiority as literature,
he directed his remarks to the
graduates and urged that they study
the Word of God throughout and
for the time of trouble the Scrip
tures were recommended as the best
comforter and the man of counsel.
President Twelve Years.
The session just closed is the
twelfth under the administration of
Dr. J. A. Scott, and was on'e of the
best in the history of the institu
tion. Stateville Female College is
no longer a school attended by only
the young ladies of the community.
Through the efforts of Dr. Scott the
dormitory-v'. - accommodations have
been increased from year to year,
enabling him to take care of a larg
er number of boarders, and this
year there were 68 boarding stu
dents, coming from several states,
besides the large number of local
students. Greater things are ex
pected next year. There will be
practically little change in the facul
ty; Miss Mary McKeehan, of Indi
ana, will Succeed .Miss Margaret
Williams, of Illinois.
Mr. Morehead Alone Saved!

chairman, Hon. Zeb. Vance valser,
had great difficulty in preserving
order under the circumstances, hut
those who are familiar with the
working of conventions would not
call the meeting yesterday an un
usually disorderly one.
Where Fight Started..-'
The real light began when the
committee on credentials made its
report. It seated the Morehead-But-ler
contestants in Buncombe, Car
terest, Franklin, Xash, Vance and
Wake counties. The first work of
the convention was to place Hon.
Thomas Settle in the ice boxand
this was done decisively, the Duncan
strength being exerted in this direc
tion. The vote against Mr. Settle
was 606 to 432.
Mr. Duncan Wins.
The next question was the adop
tion of the committee's report un
seating the Duncan forces in Car
teret county. Another roll call vote,
after Dr. Cyrus Thompson had
spoken against bad treatment for his
friend. Carl Duncan, resulted in an
overwhelming victory for the Ral
eigh man, the vote being 70 to 354.
At this point former Congressman
Charles H. Cowles, of VVIIkesboro.
moved that the report of the com
mittee on the remaining counties be
voted on as a whole, and this was
done. The Duncan forces in Wake,
Vance, Franklin and Nash were
therefore seated and the Hon. W. .1.
Andrews, W. G. Briggs, Charles J.
Wildes and Col. J. C. L. Harris and
others, their cups running over,
marched over to the section re
served for the Wake delegation and
thenceforth cast all votes for Wake
county. Mr. Lester F. Butler and
others of his following removed
their ribbons and became spectators.
The Steam Roller.
The steam roller had. In the words
of a Butler man the day before,
"squelched" the opposition. Editor
Butler and his friends had all the
fun at the county aad district con
ventions, but the Joy was short-lived.
Today W. J. Andrews is the recog
nlzed leader of the Wake county re
publicans and in consequence Col. J.
C. L. Harris Is chairman of the Wake
convention. He has very kindly ex
tended an Invitation to the Butler
and Morehead forces to Join him,
however, and It may be that the de
feated hosts will gather with him in
the Interest of party harmony.
Permanent Organization;
With the settlement of all eon
tests. Chairman Walser announced
that the convention was ready for
business. Then the temporary or
ganization was made permanent, Mr.
J. T. Hedrlck being elected secre
tary and Mr. Grissom assistant.
Delegates and Alternates.
The following delegates at large
were elected to the Chicago conven
tion: Thomas E. Owen, of Sampson;
Dr. Cyrus Thompson, of Onslow;
Richmond Pearson, of Buncombe,

Tied 1'iist for Roosevelt.
There was no need of tying up the
delegation lor Theodore Uoosevelt,
but that was a Roosevelt convention
and it took everything. So Hon.
Thos. S. Rollins, of Buncombe,
moved that the four delegates at
large be instructed .to' vole for the
Colonel' first, last and all the time
so long as his name, was '.before' the
convention. This was done.
The Resolutions.
At this point Richmond Pearson
and his committee came in with
some carefully prepared resolutions:
"Resolved, that the delegates from
this convention are hereby instruct
ed to vote for the nomination of
Theodore Roosevelt as long as his
name shall be before the convention
and to vole on all motions and
measures in .such way as best to
promote -his candidacy."'
"Whereas, President Taft did on
the 17th day of March, by a single
order withdraw from the senate the
nominations of ten citizens of North
Carolina without assigning any rea
son therefor and without and charges
against the character or qualifica
tions of said nominees; it being un
derstood that the fate of the nomi
nees, is to await the action of this
convention the appointments to be
awarded to the factional leader who
shall deliver Hie largest number of
delegates to Mr. Taft.
"We therefore resolve and de
clare that this action of the presi
dent is Ill-advised, Indefensible, sub
versive of good government and good
morals and in flagrant violation or
the statutes governing the civil ser
vice. :
"We therefore declare that Presi
dent Taft has underestimated the
pride and self-respect of the republi
cans of North Carolina In supposing
that we would participate in a politi

Ingly repudiate, resent and rebuke
the whole proceedings and all par

Mr. Pearson made these recom
mendalions as to changes:
"The national committeeman shall
be elected every four years by the
convention which elects delegates to
the national presidential convention
"It shall be no part of his func
tions or proper sphere of action to
dictate, endorse or Interfere with
local appointments. It shall be his
aim and duty to promote the poli
cies of the party in the state and in
the nation, rather than to assert his
personal preferences in matters of
local patronage.
"It shall be the duty of the state
committee to -give the republican
voters the largest possible power and
weight in making local appoint
ments and the wishes of the people
in their several localities evidenced
by the endorsement of precinct iand
county committees in seconding ap
pointments in all cases where the
fitness and character of 'the .appli
cants are established, shall be bind
ing upon the state committee and its
chairman."
National Committeeman.
Richmond Pearson, of Buncombe,
is the new national committeeman
for North Carolina. His election
was assured from the start. He was
put in nomination by Mr. T. S. Rol
lins, after Judge Robinson had
nominated ex-Senator Butler, and
the rollcall showed n victory for -the
Buncombe man by a vote of 774 to
-.V.'.Z.
Mr. Moreliend Saved.
The only thing that prevented the
election of Col. Virgil S. I.iisk, as
stale chairman, was the desire of
most id' the delegates to present:
parly Harmony. The call for the
convention did not include the elec
tion of a chairman, and the majori
ty of delegates took the view that
i) override everytning would be to
split the county organizations and
thus weaken the party materially
neverai rollcall votes were had on
the question-of going into the elec
tion of a chairman and adjourning,
but the last vote on the question of
the chairmanship was won by Mr.
Morehead by 22 majority.
Out of the Debris.
From the ruins of the old organi
zation, as was said in the beginning,
only Chairman Morehead was saved.
There was a well-directed effort at
Senator Butler, led by some of his
skillful enemies, and he was placed
in the icebox, neatly packed. What
Mr. Morehead will do with his or
ganization no one seems to know.
They are nearly aU against him, and
his is an empty honor. The conven
tion.' had previously voted that the
executive committee and chairman
should no longer settle disputes as
to which faction controlled the or
ganization, the convention being the
supreme court in all such matters.
