' The school board and teachers occu
pied seats directljr in front of the ros.
trum.
The girls in their pretty graduating
dresses or white Swiss ana organdie
and the boys in their "broadcloth'
challenged the admiration of the im
mense audience which assembled to do
honor to the occasion.
After an invocation by Dr. Bays, the
graduating class sang "Welcome to
Summer," in which they had been care
fully drilled by Miss Jennie Freeman.
The class historian, Miss Mary An
drews, next engaged the attention of
the audience. Her history would have
been "adopted ' by any board of critics,
even the - board of commissioners of
Mecklenburg, who are in an adopting
frame of mind, as being true to facts
and figures of school life.
Mr. Parks M. Asbury, orator of the
class, was next heard. His subject was
"Our Greatest Need." He spoke wisely
and well and was heartily applauded.
The class prophet this year was Miss
Pearl Clarkson. The choice was a
good one, for Miss Clarkson has a gen
ius for looking ahead' which made her
particularly happy in her prophecies of
last evening.
The recitation by that gifted young
elocutionist. Miss Edna Hirshinger, fol
lowed. She added fresh laurels to her
brow in her rendition of her selectionof
last evening
The vocal duet by Misses Alice Jones
and Mary Andrews, which followed, was
one of the best features of the pro
gramme. Both have sweet voices and
they were heard to advantage last even
ing. "The Tyranny of Fashion" was the
subject chosen by Miss Minnie F. Gray
for her essay. She handled it well, her
ideas being original and her language
and style excellent.
After Miss Gray came Miss Mary C.
Darsey, with her valedictory, an ex
ceedingly well written paper, the
construction of which gave evidence of a
.first honor graduate's thought and im
press. THE ADDRESS.
Rev. B. D. Sinclair, who so kindly
consented to act as substitute for Prof.
E. A. Alderman, who was prevented
from delivering the closing address by
the death of his wife, was introduced
and spoke for an hour or more on "The
Conservation of North Carolina's Great
ness." He began by saying that some
one had remarked that North Carolina
had made herself famous by importing
horses and hogs and shipping men.
Granted that of all the States the OldJ
. . . 1 - . . 1 1 .
norm oiaie nas oeen most proline or
good men and women, and out of her
necessity has exported her surplus.
God sifted the best blood of Europe
in the flail of his Providence in order to
plant our fair Carolina with that Scotch
and Scotch-Irish blood which has left
its indelible impress upon all peoples.
Mr. Sinclair gave the history of
the establishment here in Charlotte of
the Queen's Museum, the first charter
ed institution of learning in North Car
olina. The integrity of the State, the
preservation of those characteristics
whicn are her peculiar possessions, de
pend under God on the maintenance, ex
tension and nurture of public education.
Popular intelligence is essential to
successful popular government and
popular morality is not less a political
necessity than popular intelligence.
. The speaker referred in graphic pic
tures to the great deeds of North Caro
lina's great men, her glorious history
in the past and present. If we would
proclaim that liberty was first born in
America within pistol shot of this very
spot; if we would maintain and success
fully defend to generations yet unborn
the fact that there was a Mecklenburg
Declaration of Independence on May
20th, 1775, it must be done through the
medium of a widely extended public
school system. I want to see the names
of the signers of the Mecklenburg
Declaration of Independence as familiar
to every school boy in North Carolina
as the names of the participants in the
battle of Lexington are to every North
ern lad. Let the Star Spangled Banner
.float over every public school in North
Carolina, but let there be a Hornets'
Nest at the top of it.
The address, which the above only
outlines.was a masterpiece of oratory in
thought, phrasing and delivery. Mr.
Sinclair is a man of unusual intellectu
ality. He-is a delightful speaker and
his audienoe of last evening was carried
away with him.
After the .address every man, woman
and child lifted their voices in "The Old
North State." The welkin rang with
the grand old song, an inspiration to
every true North Carolinian's heart.
Rev. C. L Hoffmann read the roll of
honor for the year, and awarded diplo
mas and scholarships as follows:

of last night's proceedings, closing then
as the present historian does now, with
the comment that they were "well
done."

muscle in good condition to pull fur
Charlotte in any service, military or
civic. At present he is exercising him
self pulline for the encampment of the
Fourth Regiment to be here this sum
mer. The matter is in the hands if
Col. Armfleld and as he is always kind
ly disposed to Charlotte, she stands a
show of getting it. Dilworth offers at
tractions to the boys all that any
other place has except salt water.
Shnt the Books Tooth Takes a Vacation.
The closioe exercise's of the school at
Seversville took place last night. The
crowd was large and everything passed
off smoothly and with satisfaction to
teacher and scholars.
Prof. McCutchen's school at Shopton
had its grand finale last night. After
the speeches, recitations and muiic
were over, pupils, teacher and company
adjourned to Mrs. Robinson's lawn, op
posite the school house, where a iawn
party was enjoyed for several hour's.
Missionary Day.
Miss Mary Wiley has been assisting
Supt. Wearn, of the Second Presbyte
rian Sunday school, in preparing a
programme of exercises appropriate to
Missionary Days to-day a week. As a
number who are to take part will be ab
sent at that time, it has been decided
to have the exercises to-morrow. The
kesat will not be opened until next Sun
day. Cbarlott'a CUasata Salts Hian Hotter.
Mr. C. H. Goodrich, of Asheville.was
here yesterday and was shown over the
city by Mr. W. S. Alexander. Mr.
Goodrich has only lately moved to
Asheville, but the climate is too severe
for his son, who has throat trouble, and
he is thinking of coming to Charlotte
to live. If he does tfis son will establish
himself here in the photography busi
ness. Another "Trade" for Miss fisssls Oates.
While Mr." S. Wittkowsky waa North
recently he met a lady who d attend
ed one ef Miss Lillie Berg's musicals,
and heard Miss Bonnie Oates sifrg.
Without knowing that Mr. Wittkowsky
was from the same town as Hfas Oates
she remarked to him: "I heard a young
lady si nr. who is destined to make tier
mark Miss Eloise Oates."
ATHLIIIO,
Taooa Waa Will Be la the Arena .agaiaat
Davidson.
The members of the association who
are to take part in the athletic contests
with the team from Davidson on the
12th are putting in some good work.
The association team Will be made up
from the following men: Hanna, Har
rill, Adams, Graham, Merchant, Don
nelly, Shannonhouse, Rollins, Osborne,
Andrews, Irwin, Rodlger, Steele, Latta,
Calder and Maban.
The games wilV probably take place
at Latta Park and should be witnessed
by a large number of people. Davidson
will probably send down a strong dele
gation to witness the contest. The
games will be something of a novelty to
most people and it is hoped that suf
ficient enconragement will be offered to
make the event an annual feature. In
course of time it would become an
easy matter to manage a State meet.
The Garibaldi medal will be worn by
the Charlotte man making the greatest
number of points for his team 'till the
next members' contest occurs.
One of tbo Flet Iobobttaato of tbo Water
Mr. W. P. Campbell, proprietor of the
Atlantic Hotel, Morebead City, sent the
Observer, by Wednesday's express, a
sbeep8head which, baked exactly right,
made a dish fit for the gods and proved
quite enoughno satisfy the appetite for
fish of a half dozen persons at dinner
Thursday. The sheepshead is one of
the most luscious of the things that
come out of the water and this was one
of the 3nest specimens of its variety.
Mr. Campbell writes that they are plen
tiful at Morehead now, that numbers
are being caught with rod and reel, and
that the sport Is great. The statement
is easy of belief.
Mr. Tillett Next.
A large audience of men heard Mr
Wilson at the association on Sunday
last. Mr. Chas. W. Tillett will deliver
the second number of the series of Bi
ble law talks to-morrow at 5:30 o'clock.
His subject is "A Judge On Trial." Ii
is probable that the audiences will in
crease each Sunday, as able speakers
have been chosen. Mr. Wilson's ad
dress was highly complimented last
Sunday and Mr. Tillett's reputation is
sufficiently well known to guarantee a
talk that would edify any audience
The association rooms are as cool and
pleasant as one could wish. Ice water
and fans also abound.
Charlotte Veisus Shelby.
One of the attractive features of the
Methodist Episcopal Sunday school ex
cursion will be a game of ball between
the above named teams. Mr. Chase
Adams has the matter in charge. The
Charlotte team will probably consist of
Merchant and Hsrrill, battery, and
Messrs. Adams, Robertson, Shannon
house, Moore, Torrence, Todd and Bon
ney. players.
Gastonia and Rutherfordton have a
series of games in prospect and have
been invited to play one of them in
