FURMAN'S LITERARY A1HJRKSS. In the history of ihe Institution there are many notable occasions when brilliant orators have responded to the invitations of the literary societies, but we doubt a bother any of them have ever given more complete satisfaction to an audience than did liev.Garter Helm Jones, of Louisville, Ky., as he spoke on ‘'Individuality.” The chapel was crowded on Wednes day morning when the exercises began, and the speaker was pleasantly intro duced by the presiding officer, M. (J. Barton, of Oconee County. Dr. Jones soon caught the close attention of his audience, and be kept an undlvidcu interest tor an hour, with aparkUng wit, solid facts and pleasing fancies, and stirring Incentives to a niarkeu and distinctive Individuality as a wor thy ambition of every yuueg man It ■ as not a-i argument so much as an appeal and It eas ao* an effort l p.rnss so much ns It ■ ns an earnest protest against tbs toads arise of the times whirb ts to erwad hsmssity into ■isseee and deal eiih every prwn ism sf ills fwse the sgg-vgnwd risad gatnt The saatirt Sstsssn Ds» d nad Ototath • as um Masts ef a*s r» m^wns and ts# saadasn W the snap hang toy • va at* swag aad isaaasmmh stsmss nas ptasad <a marhsd ssmarass s.to the 11»toMss aha ssssst a astsas tanmaas aas .amvarss ta the swsasasa Tha A gta# mag Dm* ft* Ms aa addiiMmai ntag to fL iV afttwft am nmtaia a ftai ft TMR ANMt'AL HAM^tKT One of the moat sajoyabis faatsras of ooramrnosmrnt waak is Um joiat banquet of tba alumom and alumni of the U. K. C. and Furman, which was given in Beattie'* Hall on Wndnesday aight. The htteadnnen was vo-y large, and the occasion w:is most delightrul. The banquet was prepared by the “ Willing Workers,” a society of young ladles connected with the First Baptist Churcn, and the tables were served by the members of the society. The menu wk« excellent, and the praises of the young ladies as well as the de licious viands were in everybody's mouth. President Moseley was the toast master, and the following toasts and responses Oiled an hour of unal loyed pleasure: • • “Our Alumni"— Lives of great men oft' remind us, We msy make our lives sublime.” — H.

The words were writ ten by that gifted Greenville poetess, Mr*. M. H. Cleveland. The graduates were' Luva E. Ag- new, of Doflald's : Clifford B. Jordan, of Greenville; Nina W.

Sloan, of Green ville; Marguerite A. Tindal, of Felder. The address of Dr. Ramftey upon the “Art of Living Together*" was a schol arly production, and was received with much favor by^the large audience, who despite the beat sadured the discom forts of a crowded chapel with much equanimity. Tbe following summary gives a fair Idea of the the literafy ad- “II seems presumptious for a man to talk to women, who are considered to be tbe world's talkers, on tbe subject with wblob they are most familiar, in* art of living together But It may be said la justiflcsilloa of tba speaker that while tea ladies are talkers by be le was by "The yoesg Jy alia sat ‘•ai ante «■— # • ft . t# WP0 ft ■* \ ► • •r’SrS I daa t favor tftisgv tftst I naa t Ao mjmM I floa t like to ha left behind One of oar Softool board rnfnsao to vote for oar BUporlstoadent. bvllsva be l« the bast man of nil,” ha «ald, “but ha rtdaa a blcyo'a.” I was la South Carolina last week and found them ev erywhere. There were eighty S'ivea registered in the town of glackvllln and nearly half of them were used hy girls and matrons. It* beautiful town, as level as a 11 >or and the streets look like they have been fore planed and sand papered. The light, sandy surface is not much in the way of the wheels and the pretty girls wheel to school and to the poet office and the stores and go visiting and take their evening excursions They ride with grace and modesty and nobody obj cts O" is surprised^ There is a first-class repair shop there, where every broken or damaged part is mended and even plating in silver and brass is done. From this skilled mechanic 1 learned that It cost a man about 15 a year to keep bis wheel in order and cost a wo man about $1.50 “You see," said he, “tbe young men take more risks and ride over the cross ties os the railroad track, but the girls are more prudent and careful. Oh. no, It does not cost one-t-nth as much to keep a wheel la order as It does le feed a horse Wito careful usage a good wheel ought to last teu years, hut the Impro*rmeats ooms so thick rad f that the old stylo sour broumee a s ued-baad aad is sotfl for half price aad a aaa eas (anight.

Then one of the most ancient of these matrons said that kind of riding w&i all right and ladylike, but as for her, she never intended to ride a bicycle, qq, InoeeJ—not unless they invent a side saddle arrangement, said an other. i' ll was a goodly company and no rude asan need apply. Ttidy discussed no gossip and had kind words for every body and closed the happy communion with prayer—a good, humble, grateful prayer by one of their number. My wife says it was a day to he remember ed, and she has invited them all to meet at our house on her next birthday and spend another centennial. Amen and amen, say 1, and may the good Lord take none of them away. Bill Arp. MtfiM ** • a* «S • ' Mi •to —f Stoves to M ll.l.KK M AND Alt L VBOK ACHOOL.

There was a largg amount of busi ness before the board oi trustees, which was in session at every oppor tunity for thres days. About twenty members were present, and the work ings of both Institutions, the G. F. C. and Furman University, were examin ed into with earnestness and minute ness. The affairs of the G. F.

Williams, Jr., both of whom had done so well that the judges agreed that the young men should draw for the medal. Capt. J. A. Mooney was the spokesman for the judges, and he asked the young men tochooee between two matches, one of them shorter than the other, for tbe privilege of making a selection between two paper boxes on the stand, one of which contained the medal. Mr. Jordan drew the short est straw, and then selected the box which bad tbe p|-i/.o within, showing that be was born under a lucky star. Capt. Mooney presented the medal in a brief and happy speech, wherein he was quite complimentary to Mr. Wil liams for his admirable gifts in decla mation. Tbe piano duo by Miss Annie Manly and Chev.

If you know how to take life and what to do with it, I think it is truly a noble thing to live. W-e must bring the life of angels into this present world. The knowledge of how to live this life aright is toilsomely acquired at the accustomed places, namely, the oratory at the fooj of the Cross and the cave under the hill of duty. There are some principles which may be laid down for our guidance in the art of living together.

All of the JU0 pupils are required to do their share of tbe work. Tue hoys work on the farm or in the garden, m tho wood and iron shops, and in the foundry, wait on tbe table, learn printing, telegraphy, type-writing, etc. The girls wait in the dining room, learn to cook, learn drees making, boontt making, embroidery, house cleaning, the art of the laundry, drawing, painting, music, etc. None are excused from these duties, and when one develops special talent for a particular department special op portunity is given for perfection in that. The result is that although the school has been in operation only eigh teen years, it has sent out men and women who are doing excellent work in various positions of honor and use fulness. “Miller school hoys" are now profes sors in Cl’-mson College, S C., the Uni versity of New Mexico, the A. end M College of New Mexico.
