munity at the Arlington Mills
on Wednesday, June flth. This
appointment was inadvertently
omitted from the list published
a few weeks ago.
—A young copper-head snake
in Mr. J. H. Gorman’s show
window attracted some atten
tion Saturday afternoon. It was
captured by Mr. Clinton Green
and placed in a bottle. His
snakeship, by hook, or crook,
managed to crawl through a rib
bon tied tightly around its neck.
—At a mass meeting of the
citizens of Gastouia Monday
night it was definitely decided
to observe in gala style July 4th.
Two years ago Gastouia had a
most creditable celebration. It
is determined that the celebra
tion this year shall eclipse any
thing in former yean—-Gaffney
Ledger.
—If yon receive a copy of this
paper and are not a subscriber
it is an invitation to yon to be
come one, not "one of these first
days" bnt right to-day. Why
not send us a dollar, or 50 cents,
or 25 cents at once, and be among
the hundred or more who will
add themselves to onr well
pleased family of readers during
the month of June?
—After the response was
made to the fire alarm sent out
from Sheriff Shuford’s Friday
night, a light against the aky

circulation that the residence of

—The disjointing of connec
tion* between tne Narrow

create loud complaint until it is
remedied. Yesterday morning
there were three passengers, we
understand, on the .Narrow
Gauge to make connections
with the Southern’s east bemad
passenger. A request by wire
that the Southern wait for them
had no effect, and the passenger*
had to suffer the consequences
of disjointed schedules for which
they letatofall are to be blamed.

The eloee of the first annual
session of the Gastonia graded
schools was celebrated Friday
morning. About 500 school
children inarching along tbc
sidewalk and into the Opera
House, grade by grade, and
school by school, made an im*
preaslve spectacle. These with
the large audience gathered
filled the hall.
The program already pub
lished was observed as the order
of exercises.
In his brief address Prof.
Wray said: The only treasures
you have that are worth more
than their weight In gold are
these boys snd girls before me,
whose training you have com
mitted to others. More meetings
like this would inspire us all.
It is the duty of every parent
to educate bia children, lu this
great work we should all be as a
Band of brothers, working and
aspiring together. We want
your help and sympathy in our
efforts to point and lead your
children to higher life. Let me
mention some ways in which you
can help.
1. A lady gave us an excel
lent steel engraving of Washing
ton which sne had in her home.
It was not orach to her, it meant
mneb to ns and was a token of
her lively interest in the school.
By the help of these snd the
teachers our school rooms have
ifccu ucauuacu.
2. Yon have buildings that
are a credit to the town. We
want to beautify the grounds.
Give ns your surplus plants and
flowers and help os to make
Oakland Heights a garden spot
of beauty.
3. Do what you can to get
and to keep all the children in
school. Tnls is a great problem
at the mill schools. Do you
know that in one seasion 135 at
these schools have moved oat ?
There are some who do not
send. My teachers say "1 have
just been begging the parents to
send.” It is our ambition not to
turn pupils away but to draw
them in and lead them higher.
Help ns and the work will go on;
it most not fail.
Wasting no time in intro
ductory remarks, Dr. G. H.
Dctwiler entered quickly upon
his subject. Master of a fluent
and fascinating style. Dr. Dct
wilcr was easy, earnest, thought
ful and eloquent. The speaker
viewed popular education as a
revolutionary force. Passing
with a few masterly strokes
over the conditions of recon
struction days, he brought his
hearers face to face with the new
order of things—the oncoming
rush of industrial life, of rail
road*, factories, spindles, looms,
and the new problems this rush
ing life brings with it, the
greatest of which is before os at
this hour—the education and
culture of a homogeneous people.
What does this great educa
tional revival mean? I want to
say two things for you to think
out for yourselves.
<1) It means something for
the politician. People are
going to think for themselves.
Ring rule and bossism are at an
end. Leadership will be more
difficult. Politicians and caucus
managers, take notice, if yon
do not want your planks and
platforms knocked awry, set
yourselves in array against this
educational revival.
U) it means something for
the church. The power of
dictation and dogma will be de
feated. Men will not ait iu
chnrch and accept onr creed be
cause they are of onr sect. We
most give a reason for it or get off
thia platform and set ourselves in
array against this educational
revival, for they will read the
Bible and demand an in
terpretation according to reason
and conscience.
Something else. Too much
has been said about onr ignor
ance; it can’t be helped by re
proach. This revival is not of
yesterday; It was born long ago.
It was brought not by politicians
nor ministers, nor conflict of
church and state schools. Wheth
er we will it or not we are to be
a democracy, wise or unwise as
the people ore wise or unwise
and pure or Impure as the peo
ple are pure or impure. It means
the rule of the people: whether
that role be of law and order or
of the mob depends on whether
yon strike reason and con
science from the education of
the people.
We are all one together; co-op
eration is the watchword of tfia
hour. We can eliminate sect
and cratd bat not Ood sod His
book. [Amen! Amen!] An in
telligent people with an open
Bible will not go astray. (Amen I
Amen f].
The material aide of thia edu
cational question tends to a sol
idarity of tho people. Let politi
cians train themselves in intelli
geace and respectability. Let
ministers acknowledge the creed
of a Chriat-lika civilisation. It
-i-'
needs no rc-tnaking. lengthen
the cords sad strengthen the
stakes of an applied Christianity.
At the conclusion of this ad
dress, of which the above it the
barest outline, Dr. Detwiler was
loudly applauded, and after the
close of the exercises he was
surrounded by those eager to
shake his hand and exchange
greetings in friendship’s name.
Superintendent Wray an
nounced that the honor roll
would be published in the papers
and we are pleased to give it
