CLOSING EXERCISES GRADED SCHOOL DR. E. P. DAVIS DELIVERS COM MENCEMENT ADDRRESS. Address Well Received and Greatly Enjoyed—Sixteen Young Ladies Re- ceiv# their Diplomas. *. A (' The hundreds of pupils in the pub- schools of the city have finished their school term and have been re leased from what they maintain is Iheir term of martydom and are now enjoying a vacation and rest. Commencement exercises of the Central school 1fc>ok place Friday morning in the Star Theatre. The large auditorium was filled to over flowing with fond parents and friends of t> “sweet girl graduates” (there were no young men) who this year 6ompletp their public school «duca- tiOU. m r . The invocation by Rev. R. T. Lis ton. of the Presbyterian church, op ened the exercises, after which •■Oome. Thou Almighty King,” was dung by the school. The speaker for thp occasion was Dr. E. P• Davis, pas tor of the Second Presbyterian church of Greenville. Dr. Davis is a briliant and learned speaker, and Prof. W. C. McArthur, superintendent of the public schools, spoke very highly of him in a brief sneech of in troduction. Dr. Davis delighted his audience with his brief remarks, which are reproduced below. The delivery of the diplomas to the sixteen young ladies whK> compose the graduating class of 1906 was an interesting and beautiful feature of the exercises. The young ladies were seated in a circle on the stage, while In the middle rested a wheel draped with the class colors, the wheel containing sixteen spokess each spoke representing a member of the graduating class. The diplom as were gracefully presented by Rev. S. B. Harper, pastor of the Buford Street M. E. church. “Carolina” was rendered by the school, after which the benediction was pronounced. The following is the address delivered by Dr. Davis: - “There is only one statue of a wo man in Statuary Hall in the capitol at Washington. In that West Minister Abbey of America there are statues •f many men whose fame is more lasting than brass. Eminent jurists, noted statesmen and renowned -sol diers are there, whom all love to hon or. But only one woman is found in that Immortal city of the dead, and her name is Frances E, WlUaAL ‘‘the uncrowned queen of purity and tem perance.’' Her statue is as large as life and is made of Carrara rna^xle. ft Is said to represent the disting uishing characteristics of Miss Wil lard—rare intellectual and spiritual strength, nobility of nature, simplio tty, sweetness and an intense yearn ing to help others. On lie occasion »f its recent unveiling a procession of children brought roses and scatter ed them at the base of the statue, and each one received a mluature model of it. Now. we cannot all he Frances Willards, whose benign In fluence extends over two continents, but we can and should have high Ideals in life and Strive to reach them. We should even have higher Weals than we expect to realize. They are constant inspirations to ••esh endeavor. The Bible Is a book bf Ideals that nonp ever perfectly translated into their experience and conduct. Each of us shosld have an ideal, and In It should be Included Intellectual and spiritual strength, simplicity, sweetness and unselfish ness. None of us should be content with * litrie education or religion. Whole errors are frequently but half truths. “A little learning is a dan gerous thing.” A mere superficial knowledge of the Bible has made many men Infidels. One of the prime mirpoaen of churches And Institutions of learning is to develon and direct the mental and moral energies. True education strengthens the intellect ual faculties and teaches us to think and think clearly, fully an<f conclus ively. The principle object of educa tion is not to acquaint th e pupil with the fafcts of grammar, geography, mathematics or physical science. Thev are valuable, but they are not as valuable as the development of the mind. Thinking distinguishes us from the lower animals and enables ns to appropriate and use them. Newton saw an apple fall to the ground. He thought about It and an nounced the law of gravitation that governs the universe. Jenner notic ed that the milkmaid who had cow- pox did not take smallpox. He thought about It and informed the world of vaccination as a preventa tlve of the loathsome disease. Watt saw the steam coming out of a kettle. He thought about It. and the locomo tive, one of thp greatest civilizing agencies of modern times, was. the re suit These were educated men. Think ing produces stability of character and prevents us from being governed by mere whim, or circumstamce, or prejudice. In this connection I de sire to recommend three books for careful reading, the books of nature, providence and grace. Thev will fur nish ample food for thought and im- rnrt intellectual and spiritual •trength. fRmpllcitv Is another Im portant element In anv high stan flurd of Christian living. In this day of complex civilization, simplicity of dress, speech and life is essential, that “the life is more than meat and the body than raiment.” When some persons are “unadorned they are adorned the moet.” It requires all Archbishop Ussher’s learning to make things simple. And Ruskln says that the simplest form# In na ture are the most numerous. A smile often wins a fortune. Sweetaess of disposition, too. Is an integral part of every great man or woman. In one of the cemeteries of New York there Is a splendid monu ment erected to the memory of a sweet Christian character. The sim ple epitaph reads: “We are what w« love." The kind of objects we love most will determine our character. If we wish to be lovely, noble, pure and beautiful in heart and life, think on those things and we will become like them. Frances Willard once said that sympathy was one of the greatest needs of modern times and real suf fering with others was one of her most attract!v.j traits of character. Two men -i v e r e once walking through Tiffany’s store - Jn New York and ad miring the jewels tiiat adorned It. They studied a large, rare gem and wondered at Its richness APd lustre; but presently approached one that seemed to have nothing to recom mend it. One said to the other: “That stone has no value.” The other replied: “Yes It has;" and he took it in his hand, held It for a few moments and then opened his hafid, am’ behold! It shone with all the col ors of the rainbow. It was called the sympathetic jewel and contact with the human hand proved It* value. Genuine sympathy for others devel ops many a latent talent and mellows many a severe life. Strength, simplic ity, sweetness and sympathy are four of the indispensible pillars of char- ?"ter, and the storms of life will not destroy them. The Eddystone lighthouse was first built by the proud and eccentric Win- stanley. When he completed It he In scribed just under the light the words: “Blow winds; rise ocean: break forth ye elements and try my work.” One fearful stormy night the lighthouse and Its builder perished. Rudgard was the next builder, but as It was construeted of wood and stone it was consumed with fire. The Illus trious Smeaton was next called, and he laid the foundation In the solid rock and constructed the lighthouse of the same material. Ho wrote no pompous inscriptions under the light; but near the water’s edge h ft put the words of Scripture: “Except the Lord build the house they labor in vain that build ik” And It stands today to give light to the storm-tossea mariner. That character only Is per manent bliat, is built upon the eternal rocks of truth l purity and good ness.” ... - NEWS ITEMS OF LOCAL INTEREST. COLONEL STRAIN ON HIS TRAVELS Fourth of July Celebration.

Itae&s are being arranged for and negotiations ar ( . unde* way for a good baseball game on that day. All indications point to a general out pouring of all Cherokee to Gaffney on that dar, and the fourth of this year promises to eclipse anything pre viously attempted In the way of a celebration. Hon. Joseph McCullough, of Oreen- ville. one of the most gifted speakers in South Carolina, has been ftvited to deliver the oration of the day. and has signified his intention of being present. This insures a splendid or ation. Mr. McCullough Is well and fa vorably known here. He Is one of the best educated men In the State and a treat is in store for those wh/x hear him.

The trip was made In good time and not withstanding it was a little stormy In Spartanburg all In the party report an enjoyable time. Mlllican’s Minstrels will be the at traction In the city on Friday, June 8th. This Is a mammoth production under caavas and will doubtless re ceive a liberal patronage In Gaffney. Tfiils city has always been verv par tial to minstrel attractions and will hardly allow this to be an exception. The city board of aldermen met In their regular meeting In the city ball on Friday evening. Nothing’of a sen sational nature presented Itself for their attention, and routine* business only was disposed of. An action ef fecting the city police force was that they be required to wear their police badges and carry their "billies” while On duty. , George L. Mabry, a ifomlnent young man of Cherokee county, left yesterday for Camderf, where he is signed as catcher for the fast aggre gation representing that city in the South Carolina State league.

This announcement will be received with a good deal of pleas- use by the music lovers and theatre natrons of the city, as the initial performance of the music club, given a short while ago, was a pronounced success.

This ThriIJing Drama to be Played b/ Local Talent Under Direction of Mr. D’Oize, a Talented Actor. The story of “Damon and Pythias," which is to be presented at the Star Theatre on Tuesday night next under the auspices of thp local lodge of Knights of Pythias, Is of sich an cient origin that its source cannot be definitely traced, but It has been fa miliar to all lovers of romance for over 2,000 years, and no other exam ple of history or fiction Is so replete with the sentiment of true friend ship.

The regular monthly meeting of the Cherokee doiftitv Cotton Associa tion wa« held in the court house on Saturday. A large percentage of tho members were present and contribut ed to the success of the meeting. Tho meeting was thoroughly harmonious and productive of much good for the cause of the cotton association in Cherokee county. President Sarratt, In speaking of the meeting to a Ledger reporter, said it was the most enthirsiastic of any since the great meeting when Messrs. Smith and Jordon addressed nearly the whole of ffiierokee county on the siibject of cotton. When the reporter, who knew very little about cotton. Inquired If the farmers still held their cotton, he was laughed to scorn, as it seems that the price now Is one that requires holding. Nothing but routine business was disposed of in the meeting Saturday. A case arousng a considerable amount of interest was tried before Magistrate C. T. Bridges yesterday. One case seemed to have grown out of the other. TWo capes appeared om the docket, both, however, being strangely linked together. One case was one of William White against Rufus Ray on a charge of assault and battery. The olher was Rufus Ray against Winfam White on a charge of obstructing a stream. Capt. J. B. Bell represented Ray In both cases. Rav is charged with dranflfcg a rock on White while in a difficul ty about the alleged obstructing of the stream. Ray was discharged on the charge of assault and battery. The charge of obstructing the stream is one of some length and the mag istrate reserved his decision.

He has been confined to IS© room for some time and Is getting on slowly. We met with our enterprising mill man. Mr. W. H. Wright, of Thick- etv, at Cowpens. He is running a* up-to-date mill on little Thlckety creek and doing a good business. Mr. Wright is one of the best mill men In this county and his work Is in many pluces to show for iteslf. We expect to visit his plant soon and/ give a j^enerai write-up of what he has done and is doing . We attended the commencement exerciser of the Cowpens graded school on Thursday and FrMay nights and were highly entertaU»«d by the exercises, In which the child ren acquitted themselves admirably, reflecting credit on themselves and th»se whose office it Tfas to train them. The exercises were held in front of the graded school building. The large Eisseicblage which gathered to witness the proceedings was com fortably seated, the stage was beauti ful and tastefully decorated and all details were arranged for the occas ion with much care. The exercises opened by the school singing, “My Couatry, ’Tis of Thee.” Some of the children were very small but they did well . Not in a sini*e instance did we notice anything like failure^ At the conclusion of the exercises on Thursday night, Prof. Elmore, super intendent of education for Snartan- burg county, made an address, which was Rill of sound, deep, sensible logic and was well listened to by the scho< 1 and visitors. At the conclus ion of his address the school sang “Dixie,” and the congregation wag dismissed until Friday nigttt, when it was invited to come back to hear the other exercises, which closed the com mencement exercises for thie time.
