Ehrhardt, June 3.?The school e<
commencements are on at nearly "
every college and school in the State.
Some of them came home with hon- tl
ors, others have made scarcely class w
advancement, showing how they have ^
worked. They have spent the gol:
den moments at work or meditating, tr
not realizing what they have gained sc
or lost. They can never make up the P;
y moments that have been lost, no mat- fc
ter how hard they try. How to make ^
these young hopefuls realize that 01
these golden moments so lost are &l
eternally lost. If this could be done, ?1
think better work would be given to n<
their various studies another ses- G
* sion.
The citizens of Ehrhardt can keep w
, cool this summer. There are eight
cold drink places in town and two
ice houses. Y
Dr. Ariail is now in Dr. J. H. Roberts's
drug store and ready to mix
* medicines and serve them to wanting
customers. : b<
Farmers are getting plenty of rain -D(
to keep the grass growing. Crops jjare
small; some are talking of bring- vj
ing in a cotton blossom in the near b<
future. All of them complain about 0f
stands on lower lands and bottoms, ia
where the best portions of their crops w
are made in other years. rc

The meeting at the Baptist church bj
that had been in progress more than q
two weeks, closed last Friday night.
fy* There was a goodly number of acces- sa
5^ sions; some being received on a pro- m
fession of faith and others by letter vj
from other churches. in
Christians of all resident denominations
were faithful in attendance, Vj
and the entire town and community s
has been greatly benefitted by the
meeting. The new Baptist church, tc
commodious in construction and iD
4
tasteful in its furnishings, lent itself C?
easily to the accommodation of the al
large crowds that daily attended the cr
meetings. A very helpful and attractive
feature was the music, directed
by Mrs. McDowell, whose
sweet solo singing was likewise p]
greatly enjoyed. Mr. Cooper is a c<
good preacher and teacher and made st
for himself a warm place in the ti
hearts of the Ehrhardt people. The te
purse of $107.00 presented him at h{
close of meeting but modestly ex- fr
pressed their gratitude for his faith- st
ful and efficient services. Wherever h<
he goes their best wishes will attend cr
him, and it will be a long time be- ai
fore he is forgotten. in

$20,000 FIRE AT BLACKSBURG. p|
Almost Entire Business Section Wiped
Out. A
Blacksburg, May 21.?A disastrous
fire broke out here this morning at An
2 o'clock and burned a whole block of
wooden store buildings. The fire was
discovered in.a grocery store occupied
by J. M. Easterby, and owned by
O. A. Osborne. The flames soon the
spread to a store owned by A. H. gu
Pollock and on to another owned by kn
Allie Osborne. All of the buildings yoi
were made of wood and sheet iron and gli
were very inexpensive. The Allie Th
Osborne building was occupied by W. hoi
D. Duncan, who kept a small market, the
Easterby lost everything in his the
store, but Duncan got out all of his dei
goods except his large refrigerator. Gu
Pollock's building was not occupied. Ev
Although the wind was blowing foi
from the east the heat from the burn- of
ing buildings on the west side of the De
street set fire to the Iron City Hotel no1
on the east side of the street. It on<
was occupied by a barber shop and dr<
a pool room owned by W. S. Wil- tor
liams. 'He saved his entire lot of sei
fixtures. None of the store rooms un- tio
der the hotel were occupied. The
hotel was a three-story building and wii
about twenty-five years old. It was pia
unoccupied except the barber shop Ra
and pool room. It belonged to Dr. Kr
D. S. Ramseur and was insured for cec
$3,000. From the hotel the flames ac1
spread to Word's drug store and <
quickly consumed it and from there
to a grocery store occupied by H. P.
Goforth. The latter was owned by
Mr. Miller Sarratt. He had no insurance.
Goforth carried $1,500 <

goods. His loss is $3,000. Ward's Ke
drug store was well insured. His
loss will be about $4,000 less the in- Hi
surance.
One of the walls of the hotel build- i
ing fell on top of the Bank of Blacksburg
and demolished the entire roof.
The loss of the bank is fully covered !
by insurance. Easterby's loss will
be about $1,200 less his insurance gie
of $500. It is not known whether Wi
or not the Osbornes carried any insurance
on their buildings as they "V
live in Russelville, Ark. The entire rei
loss will amount to $20,000 less the dei
insurance on the different stocks of wa
goods and the buildings.
Practically the entire business "S
section of the town was wiped out. th<
Without fire fighting apparatus property
owners stood and watched their Me
buildings burn. The falling walls wa
of the Iron City Hotel, which was Da

own as students' night, and the 1
mg people presented an old En- l
sh morality play, "Everyman." v
e play was presented to a crowded J
use, and the audience seemed to t
)roughly appreciate the efforts of d
} young people. The stage setting, g
isgned by Headmaster and Mrs.
ilds, was especially beautiful. c
eryman sought many companions t
his long journey with Death, all a
whom deserted him save Good e
eds, the moral taught being that f
thing but righteousness availed s

s spoke their lines well, and de- s
ve much credit for their rendi- t
n of the play. t
The evening's, exercises opened c
th a chorus, "Greeting Song." A t
mo duet, "At full Tilt," by Avan s
alte, was played by Misses Mildred 1

On Sunday morning at Trinity I

arleston District, South Carolina a

sermon before the Young Peo- a

music for the two services ^
,s furnished by the schoool chorus
d added much to the enjoyment of
i occasion.

In the morning Dr. Daniel took for ^
> text; "In Him are all the treas38
of wisdom and knowledge," and ^
about an hour delighted the large ^
agregation which had assembled
hear him. He began by showing
3 difference between wisdom and ^
owledge, saying that knowledge }
s only valuable as it was applied ^
wisdom to the practical, every- ^
y affairs of life. The speaker c
.ted that possibly the greatest ^
resy of to-day is the fact that we ^
jarate religion from the affairs
everyday life, that we look upon
litics, and farming, and merchaning
as one thing and religion as
entirely different thing. And then
plead earnestly and eloquently
it we not separate our religious ^
perience from the experiences of
ily life. 0
The speaker then interestingly v

ia.t commercial and industrial D
rid. He used the striking a
istration that if the conti- t<
at of Africa had sunk instead of 1]
j Titanic the world would not a
ve been any more shocked. "Be- n
lse," he said, "the gospel has not t
[en hold of Africa in its transform- ?
h
; power." t(
In conclusion, he exhorted the stu- n
its to seek to know Christ, with- a
t whom there can be no knowl- ?
?e, and in whom "are all the treas- q
3S of wisdom and knowledge." t
Sunday evening Dr. Daniel read as
i lesson the parable of the talents e

leep feeling of the interest the school
irould have in their future. He
tated that this had been one of the
ciost successful years in the history
?f the school, not only in point of at- *
endance but in the standard of
cholarship maintained and the work
lone by the students.
Mr. Smith addressed the audience
n the subject of ''Patriotism," than
fhich he could have selected no more
imely subject at this time. True
patriotism does not consist in dying
n the battle field at the cannon's
aouth, but in living a life of peace
nd devoting one's talent and energy
o the upbuilding of society and the
aculcation of lofty ideals and living
In his opening remarks Mr. Smith
lluded to Napoleon and his statement
to his troops when assailed by
he Mamelukish forces at the battle
f the Nile. In closing he said that
e would not have the young people
o take the life of Napoleon as a
model, but he commended to them as
worthy example that grand man
rom whom the school took its name,
lis closing words were a most elouent
tribute to the life and characer
of Dr. James H. Carlisle.
Mr. Smith s address was a most
loquent one, and he sounded a
naming which should be heeded by
hinking people. Not a pessimist,
ut as a citizen who loves his counry
he laid bare the harmful tendenies
of the times, and there is no
oubt but that his address made a
rofound impression upon his hearrs.
