A Creditable Programme Rendered by the Imlnatrlal School Gradn atea— An Able AddrcNXN by Con- K, re hr init n George 11. White of North Carolina—What the Xegro ltan Done and XX hut He Mny Ae complinh by Earneat, Pernistent, Vaefnl Effort—The Coinnienceinent ExereineM to lie Held at the Col le*e Criinmls To-day. 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.

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- REFRESHING SLEEP.

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. THE WEATHER. Forecast for Tuesday and Wedne*day: Georgia: Partly cloudy, with showers in northern and eastern portions Tuesday.

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. The next day the Blues and the Ogle- A Physician’s LAST HOPE FOR CATARRH 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.

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. LOCAL PERSONAL. Mr. B. S. Fisher of Waycross Is among the visitors In the city. Mr. F. G.

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.
