The exercises of the day were opened
1 ith prayer by Rev. J. B. Hawthorn,
i f Atlanta.,. The following is the pro-
j ramme of the m.rning exercises:

“Eulogy on Henry W. Grady.”

“Stars and Stripes.”
It is a noteworthy fact that Douglas-
■ville en masse turns out to the exercises
thereby showing their appreciation of
education, and their desire to build up
1 he noble institution of learning that
is located in her midst.
At the morning and afternoon hours
the business houses all close, and the
1 ntire town lends aid to the interesting
i xercises in progress.
Among the contestants for elocution"
fry honors was Rev. O. O. Williams.
He is a student of the college and" at
the same time he is pastor of several
Baptist churches in the surrounding
country. During the past term it was
rather a novel sight as Mr. Williams
and his three children, he and each
child with book under arm, wending
their way to the college building.
Mr. D. B. Sherman, of Humber, Ga.,
won the medal as the best orator,
TUESDAY, 3 P. M.
At 3 p. m. all Douglasville, and
many visitors from the county and ad
jacent towns, assembled in the College
hall to hear the eloquent Rev. Dr. J.
B. Hawthorne of Atlanta.
Introducing Dr. Hawthorne, Pro f .
Camp made an eloquent introductory.
He spoke of the great benefits growing

‘If there is atiyclass whose

tiah iMtrrms^r The Prof, said,
um to fntroduce a man who opposes
evil in every form. He is at once the
eloquent minister, the finished scholar
the loyal patriot, the Christian gentle
man.”
Dr. Hawthorne was heartily cheered
as he advanced to the front of the
platform
He began by advocating physical cut
ture. “Every male and female college
needs a department of physical culture
Glad to know that so many of our col
leges have gymnasiums. Boys and
girls who have good physical training
excel in their studies. But alas! these
features of physical training are wo.
fully debased. The modern baseball
mania is fruitful of more evil than
good. He also magnifies brute force
becomes brutish in all his thoughts MAUD
and ways. The ancient Kuight was
inspired by the presence of his sweet
heart. The ancieqt Knighthood was
greatly influenced by the charms of
womanhood. The Knight scaled the
heights, or walked the desert, orafflic
ted on himself some torture, to prove
the sincerity of his love for woman
We can respect a man who concen
trates all his affections on one woman
“There is no standard of female beau
ty. The Chinese cramped and deform
ed the foot, which we, in its natural
form, consider the perfection of beauty.
There is a people who have no concep
tion of a beautiful woman under three
hundred pounds.
“Some people admire red hair, and
my first sweetheart had rosy, beautiful
^1§trtfas-for beau I y. Bathing in milk
in France is extensively practiced, and
there Was a scarcity of milk for tea and
chocolate, as it took it all to adorn the
female complexion. There was a peri
od when woman at a certain age slept
at night With her face covered with a
kind of paste, to keep the wrinkles
back; when women going to bed bound
up the face in raw beef, to preserve
their beauty. Young man, think c.f
your sweetheart with her face sand
wiched and napkined. [Laughter.]
. “Let us thank. God that we live in
an age when these things are past for-,
ever. The best cosmetics are humility
and female grace. Woman exalted by
a cultivated mind and soul is
mart's angel—the very handwriting of
God.
“Let me invite your attention to the
elements of true manhood and true
womanhood. First, dignified labor is
essential to all true and noble success;
the rill, the river, tke ocean on which
white-winged commerce floats to pro-
mote the world’s civilization. The ant
toils, the silkworm in her leaf-carpeted
chamber, the little biid with songs of
melody gathering food all day long for
her young, and all God’s creatures are
at work, toiling, toiling. And what
shall we say of the man who opp ses
labor? Among all tribes men have
needed to be goaded to labor. Nothing
mean as a life of indolence. Teil is
honorable. We must work. There
was a time when wise men followed
the plan to teach the people that the
rudest of common labor was honor
able. The Word teaches us to be
“diligent iu busines .” The great
apostle was a tent-maker. Christ, the
Lord, toiled at a carpenter's bench.
Men have a native disinclination to
work. One said that man’s prominent
characteristic is laziness. None of us
work because we have an uncontrolla
ble passion for work. Give men all
they need of clothing and food and it
will never again be recorded, ‘He died
of overwork.’
“In my alma mater was a sober,
steady student. He never laughed.
He never, went fishing. It was study,
study with him all the time. He was
a model student. We called him Old
Reliable. He bid fair to outstrip us
all. But one day Old Reliable was
missing. No one knew his where
abouts, but- it was learned he had mar
ried a rich widow twenty-five years
his senior. He married an old woman
for her money, quit his studying, and
was the dainty darling of his motherly
wife. [Laughter.]
“The need of constant work grows
put of our necessities. A man who
marries for money and settles down on
his mother-in-law becomes a first-class
tramp. [Laughter.]
‘Dickens says indications of dry rot,
is looking for luck. I see men, idle
men, always going somewhere, but no
where in particular—doing something,
particular. The devil

Here the 'speaker gave a number} of
oilier instances of self-control, and the
want of it. He said, “Robert Burns
knew the value of self-control, but, was
weak of the weakest. He had no con
trol of his appetites, and disgusting vi
ces laid him low and disgraced him?
“Third, the element of courage is
necessary to success. I have no time or-
disposition to laud physical courage.
The fact that a man will fight, is saying
no more of him than can be said of
wildcats aiuf bulldogs. There was a
temptation, a great crisis, came to Al
exander Stephens, but he was the vic
tor, ana said, ‘There is nothing in the

be ground in diamond dust. Labor is
the price of all profit, and in all honest
labor there is profit. No man’s work
is done until the bony hand of death
rattles at his door. The hod-carrier or
ox-driver is a prince in the presence of
your idler. It would be a wise thing to
revise that ancient custom of publish
ing the idler as dead.
When I speak of industry I mean
useful industry. Sucking youi thumb
or ticking a doodle bug out of his hole
is industry, but what does it amount
to? Many are active, but what does
their activity accomplish? Nothing
but work can unlock the treasures of
this world. Nothing but work—con
stant, hard work—can Jift this country
out of its depressed condition. There
is a task for everyone. This world is
vast workshop in which God has
placed tools and a workbench for ev
eryone. All great achievements have
secret history of toil and patience.
Work is the order of the universe. We
honor most the man who serves most—
who makes the greatest sacrifice for
the greatest good. Second, self-control
is essential to success. Self-control is
the root of all virtue. In the mastery
of self is true freedom. Self-control is
the culminating element of education.
It is not true that we love because fate
decrees we shall. A girl falls iu love
with a no-account sort of fellow, and
when her father expostulates with her
she says it must be, it is her fate. A
irl who fallsiu love with and wants to
marry a gambler or a drunkard ought
to be sent to an institution for feeble
minded folks. She ought to control
her affections. George Washington
as a man of impulse and high temper,
and yet he had no trait more promi
nent than his self-control. Let me im
press you young men there is no greater
element of success in eloquence than
self-control. President Garfield was
once making a grand oration, but for
want of self-control by a little incident
was thrown off his balance and failed.
Not so with our own Henry Grady

of -opposition,- The ayoild’s greatest
heixei and heroines have been Those
who suffered martyrdom.”
Here the speaker gave a graphic de
scription of a beautiful giil suilering
martyrdom for the truth, and while
her body was being 1 icerated and torn,
she prayed for her persecutors, and
died with the song of victory on her
lips. Said the eloquent speaker, “John
Bunyan was told if he preached the
gospel again he should be hanged by
the neck. Bunyan’s reply was, ‘Turn
me out of jail today, I will preach the
gospel tomorrow.’ ”
The speaker nortrayed the evils of
the day—of nine hundred million dol
lars spent for whiskey, not half that for
tiplifting the people;- lour millions of
drunkards, two millions of gamblers.
Tnere arc political and social evils ap
palling throughout the land. If these

we will wave aloft the banner of tern

loved country of ours. It is a dark
night, but the morning cometh, Glory
to God in the highest, it shall be day!’
The speaker took his seat in the
midst of a roar of applause. Never
will Douglasville forget this wonderful
address, only a part of which is here
given.
TUESDAY 8 P. M.
“D-d ever anybody see the like?”
College hail crowded be ore dark.
Every nook and corner filled. The old
and the young, the children and grand
parents, from town and cpuntty, from
other towns, far and Bear, the profes
sional men and the plowmen, the stal
wart and the paralytic, the preachers
and parishoners, crowded mta the spa-
ciouscoliege IraTl. g j .}
Withal, this immense crowd showed
the interest in the recitations of the
young ladies. It was the contest in
elocution by the young ladies of the
college. Eleven beautiful girls iu fault
less attire were seated upon the plat
form. One of the girls seemed to re
alize the momentousness of the occa
sion, and whispered to those in tue
rear, and said: “Pray for me.”
The contest Was a lively one. Each
girl recited as though her life was at
stake.

I enjoyed this morning a? rich treat
in the speeches and essays of the
young men and ladies of the graduat
ing class. I heard essays equal to
any I beard at Vassar, Wesleyan
end other Colleges. I heard oratory
from these young men equal to
any I heard at Browne, Harvard, Yale
and other universities.
The time will come when these
young men will be heard all over this
land. These young men will be fitted
to adorn the pulpit and the bar, and.
our legislative halls. I am interested:
in the cultivation of the .young men
of today. We see before us the
prospect of what Georgia is to be in
the future. These colleges, the re
sult of toil and sacrifice, dotting
north and south Georgia are the cen
ters from
azrff-TrriTTimfWiro will direct
of this world.
The World’s Fair is now the won
der of the world. But with all its
splendor, with all its wonders drawn
from.the four corners of the globe—
.back- of all that exhibition is the
school house. These young men and
others like them will take up that
which seems to be finished today, and
show your still greater perfected
achievement. I bid you today to
take pride and eourage-from what you
have seen of these young nitm and
young women. There is a future erf
success before them.
The great question I present you
at this hour, is, as to ’whether our civ
ilization is a failure.
We feel that because we have a
great country with all its improve
ments and achievements we are safe
for time and eternity. Ii o il’ civili
zation a failure? I do nof blame you
if you say it is too early to discuss
this question. TV hen we look back
to other nations and then look at ours
we have reason to be proud of our
country. lk>ok back over the histo
ry (6f 'this counfEyA^TlTri^hejSidbl^t
of the world. Note the vast extent 1
of this land. God has given us—its
vact resources north and south. God
has set our boundry on the east and
on the west, but one of these days
we will carry our flag close uy under
the north star and take in Canada.
He will move down and take in Mex
ico and Central America. We will
be territorially the grandest nation of
the earth. Look back one hun
dred and sixteen years and see what it
is now, we have cause to be jubilant.

and in the manifest destiny of the
American people, and do not believe
this country is now on {he road to
ruin. Bob Ingersoll says this is not
a Christian country. He is lying un
der a mistake as to that matter.
The man. who discovered this coun
try had a prophetic name— ‘ ‘Christo
pher, ” Clirist-bearer. When he dis
covered this country he leaped upon
the soil and planted the cross of
Christ; he first acknowledged his al
legiance to God.
When Bob Ingersoll says this is
not-a.christian country he denies his
tory. This ura government as wisely
adjusted as a government can be. *
* * * * We must believe in God
and trust in God, and God will per
petuate us.
One of the golden things I would
have you remember is that all peo
ples who have disregarded the Holy
Sabbath have reaped a sad harvest.
When France fought the Sabbath God
drenched her in blood. When
America disregards the Sabbath she
will be turned over to the,mob and the
anarchist. - -ff-we-lforgeTth^ -Sab'usrth
God will give us over to destruction.
Some say the Sabbath ought to be a
day of recreation for the workingmen.
Go to the police court Monday morn
ing and see the men who get recrea
tion on the Sabbath—one with a nose
mashed in, another with ‘an ear bit
off, another with a swollen eye, one
with a knot on his head big enough
to hang a rake on—only see the re
sult of Sabbath recreation!
I trust the day will never come
when we will not teach our children
to sanctify the Sabbath. As sure as j
you take the Sunday away from God

Here the speaker made an eloquent
appeal for education.
.“Another great evil is the growing
intemperance of the day. I am
obliged to hit the temperance ques
tion a lick. Liquor is no inspector of
persons—it is non-partisan. I never
strike the civilization question, but I
feel the country is woefully affected
by the saloon. The saloon is the
curse of this nation. They have no
such word as ‘saloon’ in the east, so

REV. CLEMENT A. EVANS.
The same spirit that burnt in the
heart of William Tell; the same that
is burning in Ireland today; seeking
fbf freedom; the saine^ that burns in
the heart-iff-^^dst^e^o^hahtifully-
alluded to this morning; the same
that burned in the hearts of Patrick
Henry and Thomas Jefferson; the
same m the battles of Lexington and
Concord. .The king of .Spain sent his
armies against this continent; there
were seven long years of war, led by
George Washington. Cornwalis had
to send his sword, but said sarcastic
ally, ‘We give you tke victory—
hope it will do you much good.’
From that day we have grown to be
the grandest nation the world ever
saw. From thirteen small states we
have grown to be forty-four states.
From three millions we have grown
to seventy millions of people. Of
this country should build a wall ten
miles high and a mile wide we could
live a million of years independent of
all other nations^) not a single man,
womafi or child need to go hungry—
if they do it is because of laziness or
bad government. We grow enough
wool and cotton to clothe and cover
more than all the people of this coun
try. When we look upon our agri
culture, '©ur great cities, these mighty
railways—upon all that has been acJ
complished—it seems that God just
emptied out of an apron all the needs

But have we builded such a civi-
tion as we ought to build? We
think we are safe, but let us look
withal aq4 see if we are safe. Secu-
ar history corroborates scripture,

cough or cold, is
all that it needs
to develop it.
But just as it
depends upon the

the blood for its
cure. The surest
remedy for Scrof

the most effective
blood-cleanser,
flesb-ouilder, and strength- restorer
that’s known to medical science, is
Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis-
xsjyeryrWi’pp-
earlier stages, and for Weak Lungs,
Asthma, Severe Coughs, and all
Bronchial, Throat and Lung affec

unfailing that it can be guaranteed.
If it doesn’t benefit or cure, you
have your money back.
For a perfect and permanent
cure of Catarrh, take Doctor
Sage’s Catarrh Remedy. Its
proprietors offer $500 reward
for an incurable case of Ca
tarrh in the Head.
Costs only 50 cents.
