Rev. Oliver Johnson to Students of
Oldest College In United States.
Williamsburg, Va., June 19.?The
closing exercises of the 211th session of
"William and Mary college began today
with the baccalaureate sermon preached
by the Rev. Olver Johnson of South
Carolina from tbe words, "Accordiug
to your faith be it unto you."
i The sermon set forth faith as a divine
; r>owerto human life?faith in yourself.
faith in your fellow man, faith in Jesi:s
Christ being the three manifestations
r. of it which, taken together and working
together, determine our lives.
The two literary societies, the Phoenix
and the Pnilomathean, will hold
their annual celebrations on Monday
and Tuesday respectively. The anniversary
address before the students of
the college, as also tbe alumni celebration
aud banquet, will be ou Wednesday;
tbe award of diplomas, medals
and scholarships on Thursday,

j& Another iconiclast is arisen.
I The favorite doctrine of campaign
and "fourt^ of July orators is attacked,
and wbaWwany of us have believed to
be a rnytn, one man bas tbecourage to
| so declare.
Dr. Frank W. Gunzaulus, in delivering,
in delivering the baccalaurate
address to tbe graduating clasp-of the
Armour Institute, Chicago, said:
"There was never a more interesting
falsehood than 'all men are created free
j$ and equal.'" "The Declaration of In1
dependence was the work of 1T1 hour
I of intense excitement and on every
national anniversary this phase is misquoted
because when it is taken from
its context it is false. Freedom is some|
thing to be won. Men are not born
free. Every power into whose control
a man comes is a conquered freedom.
There are no equals in this universe of
God's. God is no socialist.
"The problem of problems is to get a
humanity that is energetic and mili&
tant?that is restful. The world needs
men that can observe tbe approach of
tremendous coming events as tbe engineer
does tbe engine and still remain
placid in the face of this force. Get
the utmost efficiency into life with the
$ lean waste, just as in the principles of
- physics. Put your methods into life
\ so as to make the engine of life go
3 ahead accurately and with power.

I_ a |T'^A/I1 lv/ UID
raent of commerce and labor from
United States Council Boyle of Liverpool,
England, will be of interest to
people wherever cotton is grown. He
sends tbe following extract from tbe
London Daily Mail.
"With regard to the statement that
a Rochdale engineer and weaver have
sold for $973,000 a secret process for
the manufacture of rhe fiber ramie?a
wild grass of the nettle species?Mr.
J. W. Lodge of Sowerby Brid e writes
to say that tbe manufacture of this
vegetable flbre.is now well understood
and the initial and original difficulty
of degumming has long since been
overcoma. Today I have slieves and
tops ready for spinning of the most
perfect and beautiful character, and
which we can produce in unlimited
quantities at about 4 l-2d [9 cents] per
pound?considerably less than the
price of raw cotton. Its purity and
intensity of silky whiteness, its softt
ness and tenacity, exceed anything
that can be obtained, in my opinion,
from the best American or Egyptian
cotton."
Mr. Lodge states that he has manufactured
the grass into cloth, dress
I goods, ropes for lifting or driving purposes,
and other articles. The material,
he says, Is capaple of being
made up into the finest plush fabrics
on account of the length and tenacity
of its staple.

WHERE IS THE STATE LINE ?
Where is the line between Geor
and South Carolina ?
, This question is being very mi
discussed in Elberton now, on accoi
of the local bills being introduced
1 the Georgia legislature asking pern
sion to construct dams across the
vannah river.
The generally accepted idea is t
low water mark on the Carolina ?
ot the Savannah river is the line
t Ho t mr* ututaj
But lawyers who are inveetigat
! the matter hold that the middle of
river is the dividing line.
The code says that the river is
line, conforming as near as possible
the treaty of Beaufort.
The treaty of Beaufort says the
of the river is the line.
A lawyer who has investigated
matter says a supreme court decis
! makes the middle of the run of
main stream the line.
The treaty of Beaufort gives al]
the islands to Georgia. Some of
" islands are beyond the middle of

The Tribune doesn't know where I

a- The development of the great power i
ld on Savannah river which is going to 1
waste between Abbeville and Elberton <
county has been a dream for many^i
n. years, and as no great movement ever j
q. goes backward we may confidently I
in expect to see something done on these f
at shoals at an early date.
^ ? The Savannah Valley Railroad was
ly talked of for many years; a great Iron
? highway between Charleston and the
16 west was for fifty years the hope of our ]
y' forefathers; the development of the
great water power on the Savannah,
like the other enterprises, has been in J
the minds of the people ever sinoe this
3d editor was a little boy. j
d* The railroads have come, and the 1
&r i
people everywhere along their lines i
is have realized the resultant advantages. (
in Commerce and agriculture have re- <
ut ceived an awakening inspiration, and i
j?g life and activity is more apparent than j
a ever before. '
?- The development of the great water i
power on the Savannah will give em- |
' ploy men t to honest labor, and this emn,

te ing them the opportunity of earning
money. In furnishing this opportu- 1
nity the greatest good will be done. i
Carnegie may well boast of bis 11P"
braries for the rich people and the idle ]
set of the great cities, but he would do
5. a thousand times more good if he in- 1
is- vested his money in industrial enter- ]
n" prises, where honest labor may become i
^ independent without the forfeit self- J
ir- respecl. The recipient of charity and
or he receiver of gifts, when he is able to
ir" help himself, cannot be as indepen- ,
dent as the man with his proud spirit
and his willing hands?find work to
do.

That Sobered He.
A gentleman high in commercial v * %
circles in a Western city was relating J
some of bis experiences to a group of ' J
frienda.
" I think/' said he, "the mostsingu- ."'a
lar thing that ever happened to me .'-.wB
was in Hawaii. My father was a mis- :|j
sionary in thoee islands, and I was
born there. I came away at an early
age, however, and most of my life has
been spent in this country; but when I
was a young man?and a rather tough ;?|
young man, too, I may say?I went
back there once on a visit. The first 'H
thing I did was to drink, more than I ygg
should have done. While I was in .
this condition an old man?a native '.vtjM
?persuaded me to go home with him.
He took me into his bouse bathed my
head, gave me some strong coffee, and
talked soothingly and kindly to me.
" 'Old man,' I said, 'what are you doing
all this to me for?
" 'Well,' he answered, 'I'll tell you. fcS
The best friend I ever had was a white
man and an American. I was a poor .
drunkard. He made a man of me,
and, I hope, a Christian. All I am or
ever hope to be I owe to him. Whenever
I see an American in yoitr condition
I feel like doing all I can for him,
on account of what that man did for
me.' .
"This is a little better English than
be used, but it is tbe substance of it
" 'What was the name of the man ?
I asked him.
" 'Mr. Blank, a missionary.'
14 'God of mercy!' I cried. 'He was
my father.'
"Gentlemen, that sobered me, and,
I hope, made a man of me. It is certain
that whatever I am to-day I own
to that poor old Sandwich Islander."?
