Interesting Exercises of Commencement
—Eloquent Address by Hon. Locke
Craig—Medals and frizes Awarded.
Yesterday was a gala day at Pleasant
Garden, t e o casion being the celebra-tion
of Hie commencement exercises of
the excellent high school at that place.
The day was Ideal in every respect,
aud tbe large crowd of happy and con-tented
people that gathered in the
pretty aud progressive village enjoyed
the exercises to the utmost. The stu-dents
rendered a very attractive pro-gram
in a most creditable manner.
Tbe literary address was delivered by
Hon. Locke Craig, of Asheville, who
delighted every one who heard him.
Commencement was ushered in Sun-day,
with the annual sermon, which
was delivered by Rev. H. M. Blair, of
this city, editor of the North Carolina
Christian Advocate. Monday night
the students of tbe primary and inter-mediate
departments crave an entertain-ment
which was attended and enjoyed
by a large crowd. The exercises came
to a close last night with a concert by
the students of the high school de-partment.
COMMENCEMENT DAY PKOPEB.
Owiug to the size of tbe crowd, the
exercises yesterday were held out in tbe
open, seats being arranged under the
shade of the beautiful oak trees jn front
of the school building. Shortly before
11 o'clock the exercises were opened
with a stirring selection by tbe James-town
band. Tbe remainder of the
program,was as follows:
Chorus—In the Good Old Uuited
States.
Essay—The Pawing of a Great Curse
—Ola Whiteiy.
Oration—A Great American Under-taking—
William Stover.
Overture—Misses Feutress and Wil-lie
Kockett.
Essay—Tbe American Nation Inter-ested
iu Alieus to the Neglect of Her
Own People—Mary Neeiley.
Quartet—Ching-O-Ljng—Henderson,
Woosley, Dexter and Fentreaa.
Oration—The Trust as a Factor in
Our Industrial Development—John
Woosley.
Essay—The Appalachian Park Re-serve—
Annie Scott.
Vocal Solo—Hearts aud Flowers-
William Henderson.
Music—By Hand.
Space forbids individual mention of
those who participated in rendering
the program, but it should be said that
all acquitted themselves handsomely.
The music, the essays aud tbe orations
showed much thought and careful
traiuiug.
When the students bad completed
tbeir part of the program, Prof. O. V.
Woosley, principal of the school, pre-sented
the orator of the day, Hou.
L icke Craig, who spoke earnestly, elo-quently
aud forcefully. Mr. Craig be-gan
bis address by declaring that the
schoolboys aud schoolgirls are tbe hope
of the country, addiug that anything
done for tbe welfare of the young is
done for tbe welfare of the country.
Statecraft, said tbe speaker, means, in
Its essence, tbe giving of an opportun-ity
to tbe young people. "Tbe highest
civilization exists in that society which
guarantees to all people equality of op-portunity.
All that any state can do
Is to guarantee to its children an op-portunity,
and I believe—I know—the
people of Nerth Carolina mean to do
this. The command, 'Thou sbalt love
their neighbor as thyself means also
that we should love our neighbor's
children as we love our owu children,
and upon this proposition is based our
public school system.
"Every man admires the public-spirited
man—tbe man who not only
wants a good road running by his own
house, hut who is willing to build a
road by his neighbor's house; the man
who not only does something for him-self,
but wants to tee his neighbor pros-per
at the same time. The culmina-tion
of public spirit Is tbe establish-ment
and maintenance of good public
schools. It is the prime duty of every
community to guarantee to every in-dividual
an opportunity for attaining
to the highest development, morally,
mentally and physically."
Speaking of the advantages of
schools and the environment of cul-ture,
Mr. Craig said: "I have seen this
thing you call book-learning transform
tbe very physical appearance of peo-ple,
for it goes down into tbe bone and
sinew of our make-up. In ages to'
come, when we build a monument to
tbe men who laid the foundation for
the greatness of North Carolina, there
will be inscribed upou it tbr names of
the great educators whose lives have
blessed tbis state. I appeal to every
parent and every citizen that his high-est
duty to society is to help guarantee
to every child an opportunity to attain
I to tbe highest development."
The speaker stressed the point that
there is no limitation to the possibility
of tbe human Intellect, and illustrating
tbe point, told how the discoveries and
inventions or James Watt, Benjamin
Franklin, Thomas Edison and others
have blessed and transformed the
world. "Our greatest inheritance is
the responsibility of the present," de-clared
Mr. Craig. We admire tbe man
who can make money and bring things
to pass, but unless our material devel-opment
has for its ultimate end the
development of human character, it is
a mockery and a sham. I rejoice thai
the day is coming when our great ma-terial
development will mean the
moral and intellectual development of
all our people."
Mr. Craig asserted that no man is en-titled
to a living in tbis world unless
be does some useful work. The man
who doesn't work is a hobo, whether
be lidea the brake beams of a freight
car or is clothed In purple and fine
linen.
Mr. Craig referred to tbe business de-pression
throughout the country and
reminded his hearers that North Caro-lina
has seeu hard times before. He
grew eloquent in describing the hard-ships
through which the people of this
state passed after the civil war. "The
men who walked from Appomattox
came with a smile upon their faces
and with a stern resolution in their
hearts to build upon the ruins of the
Old South a new South with a gieater
destiny. We came through military
despotism and a period of starvation,
aud at this late day North Carolina is
not going to take a backward step.
There is too much energy and#determi-nation
in our people. In potential
possibilities North Carolina is tbe
greatest state in tbe union. I believe
we have about 300 cotton mills in
North Carolina, but we ought te have
3,000. But we do not love our natuial
resources, great as they are, as we love
the boys and girls of North Carolina."
Mr. Craig'e peroration, a tribute to tbe
womanhood and manhood of North
Carolina, was truly eloquent and elic-ited
great applause.
MEDALS AND PHIZES AWARDED.
After Mr. Craig had concluded his
speech, several medals and prizes were
awarded to students who had won dis-tinction
in various departments during
the term. Tbe scholarship medal,
given by Dr. Wesley Coble to the stu-dent
making the best grade in the
high school department, was presented
by Mr. Thomas 8. Beall, of the Greeus-boro
bar. in a very graceful little speech,
to Miss Mary Neeiley. Dr. Coble also
gave two medals for the greatest im-provement
iu tbe iutermediate and
primary departments, and these were
presented by Mr. Beail to Miss Elsie
McCullocb, of the iutermediate depart-ment,
and Willie Weatherly, of the
primary department.
Tbe Cravenian Literary Society
medal for the greatest improvement in
debating was presented by County
(Superintendent Foust to Walter Bow-man,
of Brown Summit. Two books
as second prizes In tbe intermediate
and primary departments were pre-sented
by Prof. Foust to Misses Agnes
Neeiley and Ethel Neeiley.
Prof. O. V. Woosley, principal of the
school, announced that the following
six students bad achieved distinction
by having been on time every school
day during the-eight months' term:
Lita Hodgin, Annie Scott, Lystra
Kirkman, J. C. Ross, Amelia Ross and
Basil Ross.
Mr. L. W. White, a popular resident
of the community and a strong friend
of the school, was called on to make a
few remarks before the exercises closed
He responded in a very pleasing vein,
referring to the many friendships be
had made during yis residence in the
community and sp*akiug in terms of
tbe highest praise of the high school
and its capable young principal. At
his suggestion, the crowd gave a vote
Of thanks of its appreciation of tbe
efiorU of Prof. Woosley. The crowd
particularly enjoyed a humorous
rhyme Mr. White had prepared for the
occasion and which he read. In tbe
verses he made a play on the names of
number of bis friends in the,com-munity,
the reading of which was/the
occasion of much merriment.
The commencement marshals, who
ttended to seating the crowd and
other details, were: John Woosley,
chief; Jinnie Gorrell, Maggie Cole,
Stacy Kirkman and William Stover.
This report would be incomplete
without a reference to tbe elegant and
bountiful dinner which was spread for
tbe crowd after the formal exercises
had come to an end. Tbe dinner was
served - In picnic style—and it was a
dlnnerJit for the gods. It waa such a
dinner as one could expect to enjoy
only In such a prosperous and hospit-able
community. If any one went
there waa more than a sufficiency of
the rich and tempting vianda prepared
by the good women of the community,
and everybody was invited to share
tbe bountiful hospitality.
In tbe next issue of tbe PATRIOT we
hope to have something more to say of
the high school and tbe enterprising
community of Pleasant Garden.
MUSIC FESTIVAL.
Splendid Programs Rendered at Four
Concerts—Largely Attended.
Tbe sixth annual music festival of
the Greensboro Musical Association,

Paul," Reed Miller singing tbe tenor
solos. The remainder of the pro-gramme
was a memorial to the great
Norwegian composer, Edward Greig,
whose recent death is still in mind.
The festival came to a close last night,
with a grand orchestral concert by tbe
New York Symphony orchestra, with
Mr. Walter Damroecb, one of tbe lead-ing

WOMAN TEMPERANCE LECTURER.
Mrs. Nannie E. Curtis, of Texas, Speaks
In Greensboro.
Mrs. Nannie E. Curtis, of Sherman,
Texas, a noted temperance lecturer,
spoke to a crowd of about 200 meu and
women iu tbe county court bouse yes-terday.
She fully sustained her repu-tation
as a prohibition speaker of force
aud eloquence.
Mrs. Curtis criticized the political
parties for tbeir stand on the question
aud maintaiued that tbe sale of liquor
is contrary to the spirit of American
institutions and unconstitutional.
The speaker drew fearful pictures of
the evils of drunkenness and appealed
powerfully to the emotions of her bear-ers,
at times moving many of them to
tears. She said that tbe present con-test
was one between tbe babies and
tbe liottles, aud that the women would
always stand by their [children, and
that the meu ought to give their assist-ance,
She scored churchmen who drink
and said that men who line up with
breweries aud saloons in an election
would shame the very devils in hell.

Cotton Hill Situation.
At a meeting of cotton manufactur-ers
in Spartanburg, 8. C, Saturday, it
was resolved that the mills of North
and South Carolina will accept no fur-ther
orders for cloth at present prices
and that the mills will shut down in-definitely
not later than July 1st: The
closing down of the mills will throw
many thousands of people out of em-ployment.
The people of Guilford couuty will
be glad to learn that the action of the
Spartanburg [meeting does not a fleet
tbe cotton mills in Greensboro. Mr.
Ceasar Cone, president of the Proxim-ity
and White Oak mills, aud largely
interested in the Revolution mills, an-nounces
that bis mills will continue to
run as long as it is possible to do so,
although it is realized that this doubt-lees
means tbe piling up of a large
stock of goods.
