The Savannah Theater was packed last
night with the friends of the Georgia
State Industrial College, the‘occasion be
ing the literary exercises of the college
societies!. A small admission fee was
charged and the audience was represen
tative of the best element of the colored
people. The exercises were conducted In
a very creditable manner.
The feature of the evening was the ad
dress by Hon. George H. White, of North
Carolina, the only colored member of the
present Congress. The address was really
an able effort and one which would have
been enjoyed and approved of toy a white
audience. It was a good presentation in
brief, of what has already been accom
plished by the negroes of, the South and
filled with exhortation and good advice as
to how they might achieve much more.
It was 9 o’clock when the exercises be
gan and nearly midnight when they con
cluded, but the audience did not seem
to mind the length. The opening num
ber was an instrumental piece "The Col
lege Cadets,” by the college band and was
very well done. The Invocation was de
livered by Kev. J. J. Durham, of the
Second African Baptist Church. A cho
rus. "Song of the Vikings." was prettily
rendered by the college choir.
The first oration was "The Personality
of Lincoln," by Samuel A. Grant. Natur
ally this was given the place of honor, and
the speaker's encomiums upon the great
Unionist received the hearty Indorsement
of the audience. A solo, I'Unanswered,”
by Martha A. Goods, wns/ rendered In a
fine voice. In fact, the singing throughout
was one of the best features of the pro
gramme.
Essays were read by Ethel W. Bizzard
upon "Lessons from the Lives of Some
Noble Women,” and Mamie L. Whltemlre
ujion "The Proper Training of Girls the
Hope of the Race.” while an oration was
delivered by Edward A. Overstreet entitled
“Levers of Success," all of which were
well received. Avery laughable comic
song by a quartette amused the audience
greatly. Julian C. Few of Thomasv.Ue,
representing the Alumni Association, ac
quitted himself very creditably In an ad
dress upon "The Value of the G. S. I. C.”
President R. R. Wright, in introducing
Congressman White, I said that he repre
sented the largest constituency of any
member of the National Legislature, being
the only representative of the 9.000.000 of
his race In the United States. The speak
er, in his opening remark*, took care to
explain that he was not making a political
speech, and that he Intended to devote
himself to the graduates. His remarks to
them were well chosen, urgent, faithful,
honest, earnest efTort, not only for their
own benefit, but as the best means of help
ing their race. He urged that their first
duty was to chooee a life work and pursue
It with thorough systematic efTort, Next
they should learn to think for themselves,
not scorning the wisdom of others, but
learning to reach their own conclusions.
Third, he urged fixedness of purpose as an
absolute necessity to success In life.
Turning from (he graduates to questions
of the race the gpcaker referred to the
recent race conferences and the assertion
that the negro had made no proper use of
the advantages offered him by free < Iti
zenship and education. Thirty-five years
ago. he said, when the boon of freedom
was conferred upon the negro, he was en
tirely without property, utterlv Ignorant
and lr many Instances degraded ' and
vicious by reason of clrciimsmnees over
which he had no control. To-day the re’-
ord* show that the negroes of the country
own over half a billion of dollars of tax
able property In cash, mortgage*, lards
and other evidences of prosperity. Wi fl
out means to educate his children ard
with but little disposition nt first on the
part of his former masters to edu ate thi m
for him, to-day. by the aid of Men Is cf
other sections and through the generosity
of the people among whom he lives the
entire land Is dotted with srhoolh u e*
arvi seminaries, ehurehrs and eol cgrs
Although the negTO children do rot attend
the same schools with the whites, their
schools area pin of rile same ey-tem
under the supervision cT the same super
intendents, they study the same books and
they are Imbued with the same sent men s
as the white*.
“We only ask for a fair Irep ction of
what we have done." said the speaker.
“We esk for no special legislation. We
do not ask for forty acres and a mule.
We are past that. We can buy the land
and the mule now. We have ceased waii-

Ing like Mlcawber for something to turn

now and turn up something for
ourselves. We only ask the oppor
tunity to show the best that 1* in us.
As nn instance of what could be ac
complished by the devotion to duty and
purpose which he had enjoined upon the
graduates, the speaker related an Incident
of a "little school teacher," who had revo
lutionized an entire community', which she
found In alpiost a state of barbarism.
Then he told of "three little boys" whom
he had known over twenty years ago, and
whom he was still proud to know. It de
veloped In the course of the address that
the "three little boys" were Booker T.
Washington, W. H. Council and R. R.
Wright, ail of whom have established rep
utations for themselves as educators of
their race. There was another little boy,
of whom the speaker told, who was born
in the backwoods twenty miles from a
town, and who never saw a railroad train
until he was ten years old. He had to
work hard, but managed to get a little
schooling. Then he spent some time at a
normal school and afterwards graduated
at Howard University. He was admitted
to the bar, practiced law. went to the Leg
islature, then to the state Senate, was
commonwealth’s attorney for cate of the
largest districts In North Carolina for sev
eral years, and is now concluding his
fourth year in Congress. It was evident
that the speaker referred to himself, and
his audience so understood him.
In concluslrn the speaker exhorted his
audience ihat if they expected to accom
plish anything for themselves and to help
In the advancement of the race it must
toe by h.nest useful, earnest effort. To do
this they must economize and tn econo
mizing they' must cut off those pleasures
which degrade and demoralize the race.
Amcng these he ment oned excursions. He
c osed with a streng picture of the negro,
chmbing frem the depths of the tropical
Jungle, where he was b set by the deadly
miasma of degradatl n and ignorance to
the mountain top where he was privileged
to breathe the free air of heaven.
The exerc ses concluded with the sing
ing of thi and xology by the graduates and
the audience.
The comir.encemjnt exercises will be
held at the auditorium In the college
grounds to-day, H n, G. R. Glenn, State
S hool Commissioner, Is expected to be
present.

TALKING OF THEIR TRIP.
OGLETHORPES AND BLUES RELATE
MANY EXPERIENCES.
Returned Members of the Command
Are Besieged for Stories of the
Incidents of the Lonisville Trip.
Savannah Helntivcs Are Shocked
IVhen T*l,ey Learn How Their Boys
XA'ere Hobaonlzed—■lTibluahingly,
Though, the Stories Arc Told.
OBleers Greatly Pleased With the
Conduct of Tlielr Men—Cnpt. Gor
don of the Ogletliorpes Presented
With n Testimonial of the Esteem
of. the Company.
The prevailing topic among the soldiers
returned from the Louisville reunion and
their friends yesterday was the trip anti
the general good time they had. Members
of the Oglethorpe Light Infantry and ot
the Republican Blues were besieged for
accounts of their visit to Kentucky, and
many pleasing incidents were related.
Some of the Impressions received by the
men were very amusing, and when one of
the choice raconteurs was encountered,
the questioner about the trip was sure
to find something interesting. Corpl.
Brady of the Oglethorpes and Private Mo
ran have found themselves even more pop
ular than before their trip, and they are
kept busy telling about the sights they
saw.
Brass buttons seemed to create quite a
furore In Louisville. The conquests muse
have been numerous, for nearly every
man has received gentle “Jollying” from
his comrades about "The Girl I Left Be
hind Me.” Unless it were that the story
la told in a purely impersonal sort of way,
as if it concerned only the other fellow,
one might be forgiven for regarding the
soldiers as Just a trifle puffed up with
vanity, for they certainly do not hesitate
to appropriate no little credit for the de
struction they wrought among the maid
ens of Louisville.
When the special train left Saturday
evening there were many girls at the de
lot to see them off. That they were re
luctant to have the soldie s go was quite
apparent, and the good-byes were very
affect onate. Their Savannah friends and
1 datives would be shocked, grieved, sur
pr sed and mortified to know Just what
happ ned to the boys when the train was
on the point of pftlllng out. Not a man
In the crowd was a Hotson, but that
seemed to make not the slightest differ
ence.
Last night tn their quart rs at the Reg
imental Armory, the Oglethorpes had a
meeting, ar.d before and after the men
gathered In knots to tell about the trip.
A number of those who had been unable
to go stood sorrowfu ly around, listening
to tho recountal of some of the experi
ences. Before the company left for Louis
ville there was an esprit de corps that
was highly commendable, but the hope
of the officers that this might be strength
ened t ents to have been realized, and It
Is believed that the command will be
greatly Improved as a result cf the trip.
Lieut. David C. Barrow and the other
officers have spoken In glowing terms of
the conduct of the men while on the trip,
nothing having occurred to mar it or de
tract from the good name of the com
pany. Lieut Barrow and Cant. Gordon
declare the men behavtd like regulars,
and that in every respect they showed
that the confidence that was reposed in
them was not misplaced. The discipline
was perfect. So exceptional was it. In
fact, that the officers were congratulated
by many upon the behavior of the com
pany. Badges, flowers and other unmtli
tary decorations were eschewed by the
company. Not a man was to be seen wear
ing them about, a common violation of
regulations by militiamen being thereby
avoided.
To the officers and men of the Ogle
thorpes and of the Blues, It was a mat
ter of no little regrst that the rain in
te'fer and so vastly with the programme as
it had been arranged by the committee.
The jtarade and the sham battle had to
be cal ei off, but this did not deter the
Oglethorpes from paradlrg cn their own
a c unt on Fr day, when they learned at
headquarters that there would be no gen
eral parade. The cimmand escorted the
Augusta Camp of Veterans to the audi
toilum. a band leading the column. Great
enthusiasm was created, and the crowd
was r sponslve to the •military spirit, for
they ch'frcd the troops to the echo. Miss
Mamie Morris of Atlanta, and Miss Bur
roughs and Miss Penniman of Brunswick
wore in- a carilnge In the parade, the
yourtg ladles being sponsors.

A Physician’s
LAST HOPE FOR

Mr* Katie Moor*. 1218 Vino St., Kansas City, Mo.,
writes -About three weeks a*<> Dr. CoOn, city health
physician of this city, was called to my home to treat
toy caao of catarrh. After making a complete diagno
sis of my case, ha said he could do nothing for me, but
tie irare me one of Dr. Gao. Leininger’s Formaldehyde
Inhaler*, saying ‘this Is the only thing there Is left for
me to prescribe.’ After the flret day's use of this In
haler I found relief, and 1 can say that out of all the
medlclnee I have usej this Inhaler gave me relief, and
cured my continual headache. 1 feel confident by using
same I will he entirely cured.”

thorpes formed for a parade, and the Sa
vannah commands were given an ovation.
The street* wete alive with people, and a 1
W’cre brimming over with good fee.ing for
the visitors. The companies showed up
well, the drilling through which they had
been put before their departure standing
them in good stead.
Capt. M. Ed Wilson and Lieut. J. M.
Dreyer of the Blues expressed themselves
ns portlcularly pleased by the gracious
ness of Miss Mamie Morris, who, as a
colonel of Gov. Candler’s staff, was In at
tendance upon the reunion In uniform. She
reviewed the Blues, nnd madq them a lit
tle address. Tb this Lieut. Dreyer re
sponded.
Copt. G. A. Gordon was handsomely re
membered by the Oglethorpes. On Sat
urday, on behalf of the company, Lieut.
Barrow presented him with a handsome
diamond locket. To both the officers there
was something ludicrous about the way
they stood before the company making ex
tremely polite and pleasing speeches to
each other, the one In presenting the gift
and the other in receiving It, for they had
been sharing the same room for several
days nnd to Indulge in so much formality
all of a sqdden made it difficult to remain
sober. Lieut. Barrow referred to th“ won
derful record of the Oglethorpes since the
time Capt. Gordon assumed command, for
he hag, in a short year, built It up from a
membership of fourteen to one of more
than seventy. In reply, Capt. Gordon
thanked the company for the kind words
of its representative, and expressed the
satisfaction. It had given him to find such
willing and able coadjutors in the building
up of the command.
On the whole, the trip of the militiry
was satisfactory. As Individual members,
the soldiers enjoyed It hugely. The draw
backs were the rain, which could not be
helped, and the utter unpreparedn'ess of
the Reunion Committee to render any sort
of a programme. Something was lacking
there, for nothing seemed to go off well,
and nobody appeared to know his busi
ness. What the companies d’d was upon
their own authority, nobody appearing In
a position to give orders as to general
parades or anything of that sort.
Both Savannah companies wer- given
very fair quarters, and the fare p-ovidel
them was excellent. Not a single c m
plalnt on that score was heard. For a'
long while the trip will be talked about
among the companies.

CONVICTIONS AT ORLANDO.
One While Van Sentenced Blind
Tigrt-r* Must Go.
Orlando, Fla., June 4.—Eight convictions
wer secured in the county crhr.lttt' court
last week, four for minor offenses for
which the offenders were sent to the
county road gang for periods ranging from
thirty to ninety days, and four whose of
fenses were of a more aggravated nature
were sent-to tha penitentiary for periods
running from one to three years.
Seven of the eight convicted ones were
negroes. The white man was Richard
Holloway. His offense was an assault
upon a little girl. He told the sheriff that
he was an escaped odnvlc't from North
Carolina, where he was serving a fifteen
years' sentence for e similar offense In
that state. He had served three years of
the fifteen w'hen he effected his escape.
He also claimed that he had been an in
mate of an insane asylum.
Orange county having again gone dry
for a period of two years, a movement Is
on foot to make this city dry, indeed. It
is claimed that since the saloons were
closed, blind tigers have flourished in dark
places until an accurate census of them
would show a surprising number. A meet
ing has been called for June 5 for the pur
pose of securing a united effort on the
part of the prohibitionists and those who
favor open saloons uniting in a enrnton
warfare upon the illicit sellers of intoxi
cants. If the two elements con be made
to amalgamate the man who has a stock
on hand had best dispose of it before the
mill begins to grind, for the combination
will be a powerful one.
