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

and stirring Incentives to a niarkeu

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: • •

Lives of great men oft' remind us,
We msy make our lives sublime.”
— H. J. Baynsworlb, Greenville. .

Then name thft great musical ell
of tba wank, the chorus for female
volosa, oompuead for tbs occasion and
dedicated to the graduating class of
1HV7 by Giulsappe Ferrata Cavaliore,
musical lastructor of the Greenville
Female College. 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. Riser, of Green
ville; Rubble P. Wakefield, of Septus;
Neil S. Welters, of Hooea Path; M.
Amelia Norris, of Vance’s; Cora C.
Parker, of Grecnvil e; Janie E Strawn,
of Greenville; Kate H. 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*

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

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

are more prudent and careful. Oh. no,
It does not cost one-t-nth as much to

with prayer—a good, humble, grateful
prayer by one of their number. My

T. 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

“My last word is one of encourage
ment. 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. Tb^re is the law of
caution which says .that every human

But 1 must not go Into tbs delbit of
tbe history of IbUeuhool, bod will oely
•ey that tbe ‘ manual labor' feature
has worked admirably, and the results
have been most gratifying. 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.
