The con vention was largely attended, and interesting from beginning to end. li was thought to he the most Inter esting we hav(. e\er had. There were twenty-two schools represented by eighty-five delegates. The program was successfully car ried out by tho following speakers: T. M. Biroo, J. D. Stonecypher, J, W. Shelor, Rev. S. A.

SKMl.WAI,HALLA CHILDREN Make Splendid Records In the Schools of North.; Carolina. From the Concord (N. C.) Times we copy the following extract from the report of the commencement ex ercises of the graded schools of that city: "The chairman of the schoql board, B. E. Harris, then in a few most ap-' propriate ?vords presented the cer tificates of -graduation to the large clasB, after which Superintendent Lentz awarded the scholarships ns follows: "Trinity College - Alfred Smith B rower. "Elizabeth College-Miss Margaret Hendrix. "Unlv?r8lty of North Carolina Clarence Edward Norman. This scholarship was awarded to the boy who made the highest average in his studies. Mr. Lentz stated that Mr. Norman had not only made the high est ".verage this year, but the high est in the history of the school since his connection with it. "The annual literary address was delivered by Hon. Geoi'ge B. Cromer, LL. D., of Newberry, a former Presi dent ot Newberry College. Dr. Cro mer's address was the product of a master mind. He spoke on the subject, "Ideals for Our Boys and Girls," and pleaded with them to have high Ideals in life. He said that in this day too much was made .of money-getting and not enough of the higher things of life. Education ts the liberation of power in every department of the world's life, but this alone saves nobody. It is the education ot the heart and charac ter that has an eternal value, be cause character endures and nothing can take it away. Dr. Cromer im pressed on his bearers the great Im portance of Christian character, ann said the greatest in America was a Christian gentleman." Coincident with the statement that Maggie Hendrix and Clarence Norman won the scholarships at Elizabeth College and the North Car olina University, respectively, is the fact that tho fathers of these two young people, John M. Hendrix and V. L. Norman, were for a long time prominent residents of Walhalla, and Clarence Norman got his early train ing in the splendid schools of our town. We add our congratulations to them for their success In wresting these honors from such a large class of graduates, numbering 27, the larg est in the history of the school. Ttie Best Pills Ever Sold. "After doctoring fifteen years for chronic indigestion, and spending over two hundred dollars, nothing has done me as much good as Dr. King's New Life Pills.
