Graded School Closes.
The closing exercises of tho Union
Graded Schools took place Friday
morning iu the opera house at 10:80
a. m. The children were formed in
lino at the graded school building
and inarched up Main street to the
Opera House. It was a great company
of children. They marched by
twos, and there were over 400 in line.
Business was suspended during the
march and the sidewalk on the opposite
side was lined with business men
whilo balconies and every place of
vantage was filled by tho ladies,
watching the inarch of this great body
of children.
Tho oxercises opened with the song
"4.11 hail tho power of Jesus name."
This was followed by prayer by Rev.
F. II. Schuler. Prof. H. L. Scaife
then introduced the speaker of the
occasion I)r. Lee Davis Lodgo, President
of the Llmestono College, of
GafTney, S. C. In his remarks, Mr.
Soaifo referred to tho progress the
school had made, but regretted tha
fact that tho patrons of tho school
scpmed loth to take time to.call at
the building and see what was being
done during the session. Ho suggested
that there bo appointed a
board of lady visitors.
Dr. Lodgo advanced, and in a few
beautiful sentences, so fitting to the
occasion, and uttered in a tone of
voice that showed the born orator, he
soon had the attention of even tho
smallest children riveted upon his
words which flowed so heantifull v
and smoothly.
lie pictured the sunlit sea, in calm
and peaceful repose, not a billow
rolled over Its poaceful bosom, the
little boat on the water's edge, gently
rocked by the ripple of the tiny
waves, not a cloud to mar the beautiful
blue canopy overhead, everything
around calm, beautiful and
serene. No evidence in sight of the
storms to be encountered upon the
bosom of the fathomless deep. This
little boat, lie compared to the children
wo were watching. The ocean
he compared to the life in which the
child was entering, with all beautiful
and bright before it as the beautiful
sunlit sea. Such, said he, is the
sight upon which wo are gazing this
morning. These little boats are
pushing oat into the ocean of life
with their sails set to sea. Oh how
anxious are we watching, day by day,
the progress made by these frail little
oraft. Will they be able to successfully
encounter the terrible storms of
adversity and temptation that we
know so well they will encounter
upon their journey. Such a scene
can but inspire every heart.
Speaking of the closing of tho
school year he said that those who go
forth from these institutions of learning
naturally form into two claases. The
one to go out into life to pursue
his studies. The book of nature is
spread out before the student, it is
his privilege to profit thereby, it is a
book they need not cease to study all
their lives. This is somotimes called
the education of the self-made man.
He said that every successful man
was a self-made man. Self-reliance
and self-dependence is the condition
of success in every avocation of life.
No appreciable degree of success can
ever be attained either in education
or business without these prerequisites.
He urged the children to
strive to attain the ideals their teachers
had held up to them. He earnestly
entreated them never, under any
circumstances, no matter what the
difficulties to be surmounted, to surrender
their ideals. The harder the
attainment tho harder the work,
the harder the work the greater
the developments of the powers;
and the fruits of success will
amply reward the greatest effort
to attain. Ho said that some people
sneered at the theorist, he encouraged
it. The test of a theory is that it
will work. Theory is necessary to
progress, the wheels of which would,
without the help of the theorist
become paralized. It is the conception
of the greatest achievements.
It is the conception of liborty that
fires the patriots heart. It is duo to
this that a wise body of men took
hold of Union, and developed it to its
present proud place, a wonder, in the
matter of progress and rapid development,
to the eyes of the public at
large. We are now beginning to
practice the ideal of living.
He urged patience and perssverance,
illustrating by the artist in his studio,
who patieutly works or the sculptor who
chisels, with fa.th in the Haul results.
Faith is the main-spring to urge us on
to achievement ot' purpose. Achievement
is annihilated without faith, doubting
benumbs the energy, aud direful are
the consequences. We must have faith
in God as well as in our works, lie
compared the eclipse, to the opako body
of doubt that thrusts itself between
God and man and shuts out the light of
faith. Our life without faith in God is
a desert without an oasis. We should
keep in constant communion with God.
Take tiie plants and shut them away
from the sunlight aud its life will wane,
the leaves will droop and sicken, they
will loose their fresh green color. Walk
by the sea shore and you will recognize
the baud of God in the roaring and tern
pestuous waves, walk by the silvry river
or the babbling brook and see the hauil
of God. We see Ilis hand in all nature,
then why should our faith waver for a
moment? Try and 11 nd out 3*our part
la the great drama of life and then perform
it with abiding faith in llim who
gave you yuur being, that lie will
give you strength sutttcisnt for the task.

We should also have faith in our fellow
man. Never, oh, never let. any one
persuade you to loo'o your confidence in
your fellow m m It is true t hat the. e
are bad men and there are bad women,
but "I believe there is more wickedness
caused by weakne s thin by a corruptness
of heart. L -t us take a charitable
and sympathetic view. Let us make
allowance. When you pity you exhibit
the very spirit of Jesus Christ."
We cannot live unto ourselves I- is
impossible lo shut ourselves out from the
world and make a success in life, we are
dependent upon each other. There is
no independent man in the world except,
the hermit and the savage. Tin old
Greek philosopher, Atistotle was right
when he 3aid man is a social animal.
we are bound together by tin ties of
humanity. It is a chain of many links
that bind the whole of Christendom,,
there are the family ties tint bind, then
the social ties tint bind from family to
community, from communities to States,
from States to the United States, then
the intercourse with foreign nation*, we
are nothing by ourself. You cannot
live either socially, religiously or politically
apart. It is directly contrary to
the teaching of Chriit. Our religion
itself is a social religion. Everything in
the world is tending to the one tiual
great federation of mankind, it is yet
far a \ay in the distance, but the time
is drawing nearer.
Let us have no pessimists, he could
not sec liow a christian could hold that
the world was getting worse, when everything
in the word of progress proved to
the contrary. lie said that while Optimi
ra is the song of angels l'esremism is
lire dirge of demons lie begged the
hearers not to rush headlong into this
horrible mistake of becoming a pessimist,
but have a steadfast faitli in God and his
piomises, and confidence in your l'ellowman,
and that a'l tilings are ruled by the
Omuipotant hand of God; tint lie will
richly reward the child of faitli. Also
have conlidence and faith n yourselves.
a clear head, a strong arm, au 1 the iron
will, is what enables you to meet and
succefsfullv combat with the winds of
adversity, and causes you to stand like a
rock of adamant, while the battle rages,
or the billows roll, an', the artillery of
the enemy hurls forth its rage. Enables
you lo stand like a man no mutter
what the adverse circumstances.
Truth is the veiy basis of society. He
said that the man whoss word was not
as good as his bond, the man who was
unreliable, and whose word could not be
believed-, the man with two face3 was
the man who would prove a failure.
He could never make a success, could
never play his part in social life.
lie refered to It. E. Lee's standard of
true honor and glory "a duty well done. '
At the mention of the name of that
grand old hero, he was greeted with a
storm of applause, and he paid a glowing
tribute to tue memory, held so dear in
the hearts of the people of the South
land, of the grand old hero.
lie criticised the poet, Longfellow's
leterenco to the "foot prints upon the
sands of time, that the weary shipwrecked
sailor, seeing might follow." He
favored the use of the word "lighthouse,"
out in the stormy waves, that our lights
should so shine, as to obviate the catastrophe
of the shipwrecked sailor, and
instead of pointing this wrecked sailor
in the way. He should be saved from
shipwreck by the warning beacon of the
lighthouse. Our love for our fellow man
should incite us to acts of charity and
deeds of kindness toward our erring
brother to help him shun the breakers of
temptation, lie prayeth best who lovcth
best.
Every man is surrounded by golden
oppoitunities if he would embrace them.
Every man is entitled to the gem-eucircled
crown, if lie would but Jiit it to his
brow. Yours is ti e task to help him.
Toe greater your knowledge the greater
your responsibility. Let your seaich for
knowledge be of uuceasing growth.
1 le compared the lack of education in
ibis age to a child deaf, dumb and blind,
with every joy and pleasure of nature
shut out from its miud. Knowledge turns
on the light to the illiterate mind us ihs
recovery of the senses opens the llood
gates of the joys and beauties of nature
to t?"e child.
Our life is a struggle, it is one of the
neocossary essentials to success, it is only
another name of spirit. There is nothing
iu the world gamed without a straggle.
Aud we are all the more appreciative
on account of the struggle. Struggle
to attain your ideal, and never give
lip. Keuieinber the .iueage from which
you sprang. He then paid a glowing
tribute to the noble heroes of Union,
among whom he mentioned John lavage
as the man who tired the iirst shot at the
iKittle of Cowpeus, said that Union had
furnished one of the grandest bands of
patriots that ever marched upon this
planet, we have veterans here, sons of
those noble patriots. 13c true to the
blood or such noble sires. It is an honor
to have such blood in your veins.
lie closed with some pretty lines "we
pluck the roses from our youthful brow,
til weave a garland etc." * * * *
We have gone hurriedly over some of
the points of tiis speech, aud while we
realize that we cannot do justice to i1, we
give a syuopsis gathered from our notes.
rue speech was one of Hie best we.
have heard in the oi*ra house and the
Doctor's graceful and easy style aud
ready How of language made it a great
pleasure to listen to him.
At the close of the address the song
' we'll take our stand for the youth of
our land" was sung, after which Prof.
Jeffries, after a very appropriate speech
delivered the certificates to the class of
1900. Miss Initio Bailey, Mr. Walter
Smith aud Mr. George Perrin. He was
followed by Itev. Mr. Guignard, who
made a talk to the class and delivered
the Munro inedal to the one who stood
highest in the graduating class, Mr.
Walter Smith.
"Oh, say, can you see by the dawn's
early light" was tljen sang by the school
and the exercises closed with the benediction
by Itev. L. M. Hice.
