' . ,", I'- ''-;- Correspondence of The Gazette, r " WEST GA8T0NIA, June 8. Mr. And Mrs. 8.' Settlemyer returned home this 1 week after spending a month with friends and relatives In the far West. They report a most delightful time and had the unusual experience of getting mixed up with . a small cyclone out in. Kansas - that ; turned over a few bouses, picked up - a two-horse wagon and set it out In the middle of a field, lifted the roof v off of several barns and twisted, off telegraph poles for a mile or two, besides doing a" few other funny tunts that looked queer to one that had not been In a cyclone before. In speaking of the country Mr. Settlemyer says that the 'West is a " sreat place and that the farmers out there with an unlimited amount bt fertile soli, plenty of the best horses and cattle, and with their modern . methods of 'cultivation, have the ' farmers of this section skinned a block. ' The country -is divided into sec tlons one mile square and the streets are laid off sixty feet wide. Some farmers own whole sections while others have only a part of a section. While staying with thefr brother, I who has a whole section in Kansas, Mrs. Settlemyer says that she went out to help gather up the eggs and came back with only one hundred and twenty-Ave. All the farmers have from one to five hundred chick ens and when asked what' they did "with them all replied that they ate them, a large number being required 1 during the harvest season. The grain crop la exceptionally good this year , and one can gate on the yellow ri pening fields of wheat as far as the eye can see. The farmers are all in good circumstances and have plenty of money.- They also' live at home and enjoy the fruits of their labor. The crops are cultivated almost en tirely with the riding cultivators, a ' man being able to finish two rows at a time. ,. - - ;. : , ' That section of the country Is also suffering from- dry weather. The streams are drying up and the peo ple are having to haul water quite a distance for their cattle. The fruit ' crop Is nearly, as short as in this seo tlon. Mr. and Mrs. Settle, niyer spent several day! at Hot Springs, Ark., and enjoyed their stay very 'much, . but whew they returned home travel . stained and weary like a good many others who 'have gone out to - the West, they summed up their opinion in these words, f'that after all the Old North State Is mighty hard , to - "beat." -. ' We have been enjoying' a week's vacation on account of the Southern Power Company's not being able to put the juice to us.

Magnificent ' Address "Wednesday Night by Justice Wendell Phillips : Stafford, of Washington Dr. ? J. '?. C. Galloway Delivers Address : at .' Woman's College. Correspondence of The Gazette..' ; DUE WEST, S. C, June 9. The exercises of the present commence ment of the' colleges f Due West were concluded last evening. In Ers kine College auditorium with a magnificent address by Justice Wen dell Phillips Stafford, of Washington, and this morning the. hundreds of visitors are leaving for. their, homes. The opinion is that this is by far the most pleasant commencement the col leges have ever had.. '-r; ' Wednesday, morning at 10 o'clock the celebration of the fiftieth anni- versary of the founding of the Wo man's College of Due West was held in the auditorium this being an un usually attractive feature of the fes tivities here. Two excellent duets, a splendid double quartet, and some piano selections added much to. the program. , The principal- addresses on this occasion were made by. Dr. J. C. Galloway, of Gastonia, N. C. and Rev. T. P. Pressiy, of Troy, Tenn. Dr. Galloway gave a highly original and Interesting historical sketch of the Woman's College from its found ing Cill the present day. His theme sliowed the results of painstaking and laborious research, every nook and cranny In the church having been lokeed into for material bear- ab-Contractors for . Stewart A Jones 'Have Several Forces at : Work: on Internrban RaUway Line tletween Gastonia and Mount Hol lyInteresting Details About the "Work.'- - ;-:: ; . Wednesday afternoon a Gazette man went over the whole proposed route of the Interurban from the cut at Ragan's store to a point some dis tance below the Flint Mill where the force -of John T. Bennett, ot Dan ville, Va., a sub-contractor under Stewart ft Jones, is preparing to ex cavate for another big cut. . ' - Inquiry from an old negro plowing In a near-by field as to the exact whereabouts of the nearest construc tion gang elicited the following in formation: "Ldrdy, boss,' dey Is scattered all along, plum fum de Mo dena ter Mount Holly." This seems to be exactly the case, : for with the main offices of Stewart & Jones In Gastonia and Mount Holly, several sub-contractors have the job well in hand along the intermediate points. Nearly all of the heavy grading such a the making of fills and cuts has been finished near Gastonia and only the re-surfacing and leveling needs to be done. However, the main force of Stew art as Jones is moving its base of op erations from where It has been for the past several months to a section of the .road near Mr. Rbyne's, just this side of Lowell. This is ocasion ed by the fact that until suitable right-of-way arrangements can be perfected with the Southern in re gard to the excavation to be made under their tracks near Ragan's store, further activities are held up at this end of the line. , In conversation with Mr. Sollers and Mr. Watkins it was learned that ev erything Is expected to besettled satisfactorily and that the main force after a stay of frOm three weeks to a month will be back. Some exca vating is to be done at Lowell, there being at least three big cuts to foe made. The big steam shovel was being moved Wednesday. By means of an improvised car-track, the big shovel mounted on trucks would .negotiate a small distance while the rails and ties thus left to the rear were, torn up and moved around for additional tracking. From the big cut to the rear of the Ozark Mill the shovel was being slowly moved up Modena street to the Southern Railway track which is to be used in the further convey ance. Anyone who has never visited the scene of operations of the Interur bait will be amply repaid for his trou bley taking a trip- along the route. Thlnlu are being done and the work Is being carried forward In a gigan tic way. With their own commis saries, blacksmith shops, watjbr- i tanks, shovels, dump-carts antr en gines, backed by an entire company oKmen and mules, overseers and subordinates, the scene resembles In some aspects that of a small army in the field. Property of Mr. William E. Worth, a leading citizen of Wilmington, was seized Wednesday under execution issued from the United States Court to satisfy judgment for $30,000 ob tained at a recent term of Federal Court by the Knickerbocker Trust Company, of New York. This Is the amount alleged to be due by Mr. Worth under a contract he signed for stock In the Rockingham Power Company which failed and which was financed by the trust company. 'Rev. F, Melchlor, O. S. B., ; of Belmont, was' a visitor In town Wed nesday. Ing on the college. The document ot Dr. Galloway will prove very valua ble to those who wish to know the career of the institution In Its fifty years of working. , , -Rev. Mr. Pressly delivered an ex cellent address on "Our Debt to the Woman's College." The Alumnae luncheon," held at the Carnegie dormitory yesterday af ternoon at 1 o'clock, was most Inter esting.

Brice, of Chester, the toast mistress, ' was Introduced by Mrs. W. K. Douglas, of the college. Mrs. Brice made a most desirable presiding officer. The following re sponded to toasts. Mesdames W. K.

An excellent musical program was rendered oy the faculty In piano . instruction, Misses Clayton and Sewell. Essays were read by Misses Leila Nance and Agnes Devlin. The Alumnae essay, which was read by Miss Mattle Wil liams, teacher in art, was truly a masterpiece, and came in for a full round of applause. The address - of Judge Wendell Phillips Stafford, of Washington, was the supreme event of the evening and probably the most delightful event of the entire commencement. Judge Stafford took for his theme 'The Gospel of Poetry." 'It was not as versification and rhythm, but the poetry, there Is in life, the poetry that comes from" making the ideal the real. No more scholary, polish ed, thoughtful, and captivating ad dress has ever been delivered in Due West than this one by Judge Staf ford. ;. 1 ' - ; '..' . THE EVENTS OF A WEKK.
