EVIDENCES ON EVEIT BANE OP EXCELLENT WORE Large Crowds Attend—Literary Address Friday By Capt. R. L. Durham—ProL Stewart Sac* eeeded By ProL D. C. Jshnaea —Random Notas. It wsa the good fortune of the editor of Tub Gaxbttth to be among those who had the pleas ure of spending Friday at the commencement of Stanley Creek Iustitute. Iu company with Capt. K. L. Durham, who delivered the literary’ address in the afternoon, we were driven over in the dewy morning time in a pretty rig furnished by Messrs. Anders and Floyd that howled along delightfully over the smooth macadam road. It was a fine May morning. The dear fresh air was laden with spring-time fragrance and "shot through and through" with gold en sunshine. The steady roll of the grating wheels and the measured strokes of the willing hoofs made a music; pleasant to hear, while the sparkle of shin ing dawdrops on leaf and flour by the wayside, destroyed by the light which glorifiea them, the sight ol growing crops on ♦very hand, and the widening landscape now and then, were enough of themselves to make the journey short even had its miles been many times mul tiplied. When we arrived at the splendid new Institute building tie exercises were in full swing. A large audience of intelligent and intellectual men, fair women, and' bright boys and girls were giving rapt attention to an im prebalve declamation by Master Cland West, the eloquent young son of Rev. j. H. West, the popular and consecrated Meth ods pastor at 8tanley. The exercises of the Primary Department taught by . Mias Alice Daniel and musical concert iu charge of Miss Peart Little were held Thursday evening a brief musical concert preceded the eery «maxing play entitled "The Deestrick Skule," which never fails to throw aa audience Into convulsions of mirthfulaeas. Wa give herewith the several programs rendered. • 1 * Mmij lertaiil Mi Cmcort. THURSDAY. MAY IS. IMP. S P. M. Cnoioi— Before tb» Sun Aw.krt Rbcitatiom—My M> SR« FRIDAY. MAY. 16. 190V 1030 A. M.

MAY IF.M. . 9 AWT The eMfciMt Thursday morn ing con silted of competitive declamation* and recitationa by the young men and young ladles, who acquitted themselves with gnat credit. Their work evinced careful and competent training upon part of their teachers, and n*e cause for eminent satis faction upon p«gt of parents and patoona of the achool. At tkt'doM of the morning exercises Rev. W. H. Wilson, the earnest and very compan ionable pastor of the Presby terian church at Stanley, took the rostrum and asked the attention of the andience for a few moments. He held two hand some volumes in bis hands— Bderslieim’s Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah "Two years ago," said he, ''Prof. Stewart came to us with his ideals, his talents, and his energies. He now feels that duty calls him elsewhere. We lose a friend. There has been no good work accomplished among ns since he came here in which he waa not a helper. He waa interested In our little ones, a gentlemau in the home, a leader in school snd church, known and felt in every good work. As a token of esteem from frienhs these volumes (handing them to Prof. Stewart) arc presented to you. Take them and follow their teaching, for they, tell of the life of tlie Great Teacher.” rrofessor Stewart accepted the gift in graceful and feeling term*. "I thank you, "said he,” more _ than words can express for this gift which I am agreeably surprised in receiving. It is a token of your love, appreciation and sympathy whicn I shall treasure highly. As an added testimonial to my good record and good name among you, I would rather show these vol umes than my college diploma. I prise these books because yon gave them and because they point me to the greatest, best, and wisest Model the world has ever known.” Rev. J. H. West in a few happy remarks presented to Mias Daniel, tne Primary Teacher, a year's subscription to Mnnsey’s Magazine es a testimonial from her admiring friends. "All that has just .been said about the Principal of the school applies with equal force,” declared Mr. West, "to the very faithful Primary teacher. Ac cept this magazine os a token of our appreciation of your thorough aud faithful work.” During the iutermissiou which followed, the writer was the happy guest of Dr. and Mrs. George Atkins and of Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Sherrill. Noth ing else need be said to establish the fact that we were most hospitably entertained. At lialf-paat two the large audience re-assembled and heard a beautiful chorns "When the Roses Blow,” followed by a well prepared oration by Mr. Howard Reedy Thompson and a practical well-composed, and exrcllently read essay by Miss Maggie Har mon. Wc wish we had room to print entire the address of Capt. R. L,. Durham. He chose a subject close at band, the very an nouncement of which would have assured an attentive hear ing, even if the speaker’s style and matter had not compelled it —Onr Present Condition and Outlook in Gaston. A prosy sound In that subject, said the speaker, but all the. poetry that is in our collective lives ia bdund up in that very condition and outlook. "Our most vital inter ests, our dearest dreams, wheth er of material attainment or of high endeavor, are rooted in that condition, ana mast fruit and flower in that prospect.” The speaker then aptly de scribed the soil, the climate, the people, tbelr ancestry, qualities and traits. By inherited vigor and well ordered lives, our men reached a ripe old age: by "liv ing at home” many have ac cumulated comfortable prop erties. True children of their land and atmosphere, they were healthy .true, steady-going, even tempered. independent. In the last decade conditions have changed rapidly—it ia no longer an agricultural people. Manufacturing enterprises have grown into over-shadowing prominence. Towns have grown up with marvelous rapidity. Al most without notice we are cal led upon to readjust many of our ideas and habits of life. Here followed an interesting analytical contrast of agricultural with manufacturing me, with a discussion of the problems con fronting us in the latter. We wish we had room for a minute synopsis or even a complete reproduction of the address, but we must content ourselves with a few more or less dislocated quotations which appear to us quite worth repeating. Money, much money is a necessity. We will get money. • • • The fever lb in our blood and it Is epidemic In the county. It Is enough to make the heart sick to sac the large number of boys and girls in the County that belong to the two claasea: thoae that are directed and en couraged to pnraue the dollar from infancy as the only thing worth while and to the neglect of all cultaral processes, and those others who are drive* in pursuit of the same dollar that it may jingle in the father's pocket * * , * boys and girl*, hundreds of them, from 10 to 20 yean of age are supporters of families, bearing upon their backs the burdens that nature meant for the broad and mature should ers of men. * * * They have been shoved forward to manhood's work before their time * * * and if by force of will they ever cultivate their powers of mind or graces of character, they will come up to well-rounded manhood or womanhood through great trib ulation. Nothing but perfect equip ment will stand the stress of this problem-packed and con tending age. If there b any weakness * * * the hammer ing of this intense day will discover it. And woe to him who must stop for repairs; be will never overtake the race. No scheme or force will ever lift the people np in mass. We mnst discard wholesale ideas and go to work on the individual. And the only force that will ever lift any individual np b within that individual * * * so tfi«t the only thing that we as a people can do in Gaston to prepare ourselves to meet and solve the problems that crowd upon us is to insist that every individual shall develop his powers. Education is not a luxury, it is 4 necessity. We often hear men sneer, as if regretting having sent their sons to college, "Oh, yes, he’s come home k no win’ more than I do.” Well, at the present average of our culture, that b generally a fact, snd there is no need for offense. Oh, now, if the young jackanapes has politely given yon to understand in words more or less explicit that he is smarter than hb daddy, that'js sjdifferent matter. That b not hb college training speaking. That b in herited impudence, which yon failed to properly "thrash’* out of him when you were bringing him •np; I advise you to proceed to eradicate it at once in the good old-fashioned way. It seema tome that some of the projectors of these so-called "colleges’* gave them that high sounding title under no other inspiration than that which im pels a nigger to call a retiring hound pnppy "Tige,” I hope that sympathy will widen sod deepen, here and elsewhere until you touch shoulders and join hands with all like-thinking men and women; and that, break ing two of the habits of your lives, yon will form a perpetual and enthusiastic alliance for forging a resistless sentiment for universal education in the County. The address was heard throughout with a closeness of attention that marked the in terest of the audience in its senti ments, and was loudly applauded at its dose. The judges awarded the declamation medal to Mr. Oscar Carpenter, the handsome and eloquent son of Mr. B. P. Car penter, and the recitation medal to Miss Beulah, the gifted little daughter of Mr. A. wT Howell. The*e prises, which were beauti ful gold medals, were presented by the writer to the successful contestants. The prises for spelling, which were beautiful books, were awarded to Miss Clara Thomp son and Mr. Latte Qillelaad, and were presented by County Superintendent P. B. Rankin in a brief but witty speech. The new principal, Prof. D. C. Johnson, was introduced by Prof. Stewart as his newly elected successor in the work. Prof. Johnson responded feel ingly tad eloquently. "These kind speeches and your noble faces", said he, "aMUta me glad. Am a stranger only to the people here, I am not a stranger to the work. I want your co-opera tion. I want ron to be in terested, pledged with me to lift up the people who dwell in luitetacy. Talk education, think on education, meditate on education, and 1st its work to es? in the greet cause ws Prof. Johnson is a young teacher of scholarly attainments, enthusiasm, energy, and exper ience. His home is at (old) Trinity College, but be is a graduate of Trinity College, Dwham, of the clam of UM. Last year be taught in a school near his own home, but prior to that filled with distinction the position of instructor 11 at* anA T^rtti |g School. We welcome hisul to a place among the energies at work in county and hope that Us work may be both hippy and success ful. There is general regret felt that Prof. Stewart is to leave Stanley. He has been elected Tutor in Trinity Park High School, Durham, and will enter upon his new duties after vaca tion in over. With his able assistant, Mr. O. J. Jones, hi* Primary Teacher, Mi*# Daniel, and Musical In structor. Mis* Pearl Little, he ha* built up u fine institution of learning, and commit* it to hi* successor with fair seas and full sails. Yean only add to tha hand some bearing aad musical abili ty of Gaston county’s great band master. Capt W. P. Holland. It was a great pleasure to Ids old friends to see and hear him again. Gaston's musical fame is secure so long as Mt Holly's Sousa leads the band aad is supported by bis handsome, sad haadsoafe ly uniformed Bnterpesa Inoeses. A card from Prof. Johnson ad vises ns that the Pall term of this school will open August 4. The people were hind to t*s in the matter of renewals and new i subscriptions. Among them were Prof. O. J. Jones, who goes to his Mountain Island home for vacation, and Mr, L. S. Clemmer, who, like others of his family aamc, is a good carpenter. He is now at work in Dallas adding a new ell, making a new hall, and building other Improvements to the houae occupied by Mayor J. M. Shuford.
