in g School and its Work.
Harbison Agricultural College
commencement took pince last
week. Owing to the lack of time
I witnessed a part of thc com
mencement only.
Thc Junior prize contest, was
an interesting scene. Several
young men figured in the combat
anti made things lively. The
speeches were not perfect, hut
they were thought out well and
delivered in a spirited manner.
Some of the young men were
eloquent and took the audience
with them "by violence."
The committee appointed to
award the prize to thc best
speaker had no easy task on its
hands. Three of the young men
l aced so near each other that noth
ing hut the most watchful eye
and critical faculty could detect
who the superior man was. It
was neck and neck.
While I sat and followed the
contest I was convinced that a
Junior prize contest in schools of
higher grade than Harbison Col
lege would have to work very
hard to excel this one. This is ail
tlie more remarkable when it is
remembered that these Harbison
boys are in the rough, just from
the sticks, so to speak.
There was just one graduate for
the year. The address of this
man was thoughtful and attrac
tive. The outlook for him is fair.
I predict for him a future of use
fulness in whatever sphere of ac
tivity his lot may l>c cast.
Another year the graduating
class will he much larger. The
music was a noteworthy item.
Bright coi*.ge stings and others
made the welkin ring. All
students of Harbison are required
lo sing. It is a part of their work,
just like any other lesson, which
must be studied and recited. The
band of songsters at Harbison can
interest and arouse the dullest,
soul ever. While some of the best
numbers were being sung I
noticed many of the old people
present looking on with their
mouths wide open and amazed.
XTliey were 'delighted with the
miisic. . ... 7 '. - - ;
I It wa$5 n. real- qoy to . see t)\#
the commencement and to note
how happy they were. Harbison I
has spent only two or three years
at Inno. S. C., and Inno is a very
I small town. But see how the folks
leonie out and enjoy themselves
.and praise Harbison! Look at
their clothing! Did you ever see
such dresses? Did you ever see
such wealth of colors? Believe
me.
Harbison commencement of
j 1014 was the best for years. Old
and young will cherish its memory
for years.
In closing, let me say that Har
bison College is planted right in
the midst of a dense Negro popu
lation. The school owns some
thing like 1.500 acres of land,
which is being sold in lots on easy
terms to colored people. The plan
is to surround the college with an
ideal Negro settlement which will
help the college and which the
college will benefit.
This is a splendid school for
boys. Parents desiring a good,
safe school for their boys will find
Harbison the place to send them.
President Young told me that no
matter how poor a. boy might be,
if he was willing to work and
study he would not be turned
away from Harbison College.
The course of study covers a
large field. While the science of
agriculture is the principal sub
ject, it is hy no means the only
thing taught. Many other things
which a hoy will need to make
himself efficient, c^tc, are taught.
Dr. C. M. Young, President of
the school, would be glad to give
nil necessary information.

at-large are proud of the honor
conferred upon them through the
faculty ()f this good school by
having Dr. Burroughs serve on
this occasion. The church and
church grounds were well crowd
ed.
At 9 p. m., the alumni associa
tion conducted its annual banquet
in the spacious and well ordered
dining hall of the academy. Af
ter the general reception of
guests in the drawing room, the
party was conducted to the beau
tiful tables and served with well
prepared delicacies. The music
was grand at all times. The
next feature was the toast speech
es, most of which were very
good. The toast orators were :
Dr. J. P. Pickett, Dr. J. H.
Thomas, Prof. C. C. Lowerr, Rev
J. W. Boykin, Messrs I- B. Eng
lish, W. E. Boykin, Fred Aaron,
and Mrs. Julia Douglass. Miss
Rachel C. Brown, the senior alum
nus read a grand essay to the de
light of all. The closing address
was delivered by the president of
the association, Mrs. D. C. Bulk
ley. Much credit is due her for
the successful evening.
Too many thanks cannot be
given Miss Frances V. Russell
snd her interesting faculty for
the great work they are doing in
behalf of our people. This school
has a fine $20,000 class room
building and excellent girl dormi
tories The school had its largest
enrolment this season, but did
not need to occupy the dormitory
for little girls ; this shows that
jpwards of 50 more girls can be
accommodated easily, and Miss
Russell wants them. Long live

while we have had some sick-;
ness and a few deaths the health
of the people in our cjommunity
is generally good, and they all
seem to have good appetites.
The graded school ,of our city
has closed, and also the two col
leges, thus considerably reducing
our city's population, for most of
the students have gone to their
various homes to see friends and
loving ones and to prepare to re
turn again when school opens.
Dr. N. C. Nix, pastor in charge
of the Mt. Pisgah Baptist church
of this city, is running a glorious
revival in which he is assisted by
the Rev. Dr. T. L. Jones, of Voor
hees Institute, of Denmark.
The wife of Mr. Robert Cottrell,
who several years ago, moved
from this city to Birmingham,
Alabama, with her husband, died
last week in that city. The body
was brought here for burial and
the same was interred last Sun
day afternoon in River-side cem
etery in the presence of a large
concourse of relatives and friends
The funeral services were con
ducted from Trinity M. E, church
by the pastor, Rev. Dr. Hickson.
Mrs. Susan Cottrell for a number
of years, was a faithful and con
sistent member of the above
named church, and has left a
host of friends and loved ones to
mourn her departure.
Dr. A. P. Dunbar, bf Columbia,
who is general msnager of the
Mutual Relief and Benevolent
Association, was in the city last
Saturday and Sunday looking af
ter the interest of his company
which has a large membership in
this city and is in charge of Mrs.
Laura Daniels, widow of our iate
friend and brother, H. B. Daniels,
who represented this company
previous to his death, a few
months ago. We commend this
?ood and reliable company to the
favorable consideration of all
vvhose duty it is to patronize race
enterprises.
Picnics are now in season and
/ou may judge the balance.
