A Groat Meeting.
Tho Sunday School Convention of
Beaverdam Association met with Re
turn church on May 30th. 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. McDaniel, E. P.
Wood, Rev. J. R. Moore, C. R. D.
Burns, Rev. L. T. Weldon, S. C.

F. M. Cary, Rev. W. W. Keys, Rev.
J. H. Stone, A. P. Marett, Wm. M.
Brown, J. W. Duncai , W. N. Bruce.
We think the large delegation that
attended tho convention will carry
back to their schools new life and
much good will be accomplished.
? Tho parting prayer was led by
Rev. J. H. Stone, and we all returned
to our homeH feeling we had attended
a groat meeting, and had been boun
tifully entertained by a good and
generous people.

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. I consider
them the best pills.ever sold," writes
B. F. Ayscue, of Ingleside, N. C. Sold
