Second Night of South Georgia College
Commencement.
A very large and appreciative au
dience assembled in the chapel of
.South Georgia College last night, to
hear the prize declamations and the
debate by the Ben Hill Literary
Soeiety.
The stage was handsomely festooned
with evergreens and in the center a
number of small flags were placed.
Tne Trustees of the College and a
few invited guests occupied seats on
the rostrum.
The programme of the evening was
opened with prayer by Chancellor
Boggs, of the .State University.
The chorus, “Moonlit Stream.” by
Misses Nettie Smith, Dora Deklc,
Rosa Neel, Birdie Woodson, Sarah
Woodson, Irene Davis, Carrie Chis
holm, Jessie Chisholm and Florrie
Pittman, was sung in a very sweet
manner. The voices came as a har
monious thrill of sweet sounds.
The first dcclaimer, Ralph Neel,
rendered Wirt’s superb piece of elo
quence, ‘There is no excellence with
out labor,” in a very effective way,
that showed he had a thorough appre
ciation of his subject.
The next dcclaimer, H. Roberts,
gave Col. Charles C. Jones’ “Confed
erate Reunion” in a manner that
brought sweet recollections to the old
soldiers present, and pleasure to all.
James Evans declaimed “Survivors
at Gettysburg” in a superior way that
brought him as a token of apprecia
tion, a handsome basket, ot flowers.
Robert Mitchell, Jr., gave that
portion of Henry Grady’s celebrated
speech before the New England Society
in New York, devoted to the New
South. It is a gam within itself and
it is high praise to say it lost none of
its charm in the mouth of Mr. Mitch
ell. Mr. James S. Roberts closed the
declamations with an extract from the
matchless orator, Ben Hill.
Tne speaker caught the inlc ition of
the eloquence of Georgia’s greatest
son and for the time was the liviug
impersonation of the lamented Hill.
The medal given to the best dc-
claimcr will he awarded Thursday
night by Hon. Alex It. Jones.
Succeeding the declamations came a
charming solo from Miss Rosa Neel,
which was received with applause.
The debate by four members of the
Ben Hill Literary Soeiety was the
feature of the evening.
B. F. Hawkins,Esq.,had been chosen
president of the debate and on his
shoulders rested the onus of the de
cision of the vexed question, whether
woman or money exerts the most in
fluence over lordly ranu.
The query was, ‘‘Resolved,'That
money excrcj-vis more influence than
woman.
affirmative:
C. W. Holloway, Quitmnn, Ga.
J. L. Roberts, McDonald, Go.
negative:
T. J. Winters, Dixie, Ga.
J. S. Roberts, McDonald, (ia.
Mr. Holloway opened the debate,
and made many good points, to show
that the love of money, and not the
love of the fair sex was the ruling
passion of man’s life.
Mr. T. J. Winters, who led the ar
gument on the negative, was equally
emphatic in his belief mid assertion
that the love of mother, wife and
sweetheart were more potent factors
in moulding man’s destiny tlmn the
love of filthy lucre.
Mr. J, Lr. Roberts who followed ou
the affirmative side made, what a
great many considered the speech of
the evening. It fairly sparkled with
alternate wit, humor and sarcasm.
While tho sympathies of the au
dience wero ngajust bis position, it was
generally allowed that he made a
masterly showing for his side.
Mr. J. S. Roberts concluded the
argument for the negative and made
a touching appeal for the softening
and refining iaflqepcc' of woman,
wj?ipb comes as the gentle sunshine.
At the conclusion of the arguments
tjie president, jn a most felicitous
manner, rendered the decision in favor
of the negative, which is to say that
from the arguments presented, woman
exerts morp influence ou man thau
money.
The Eclipse Band entertained the
audience between tho declamations
and the speeches in the debate, with
some nice music, which was thoroughly
appreciated and warmly applauded.
To-night the annual concert by the
young ladies of the college y.'ill be
jjjvpn, au ( { frpttj the programme
arranged, a rare treat may be expect-
LIKE THE CALL OF THE BUGLE*
Chanoellor Boggs on Higher Educa
tion.
Fully a hundred people gathered in
the Library Hall yesterday after-
to meet Chancellor Boggs and
hear his address on higher
education in Georgia. Perhaps the
highest compliment that we can pay
the splendid address is to say that if
the address were to lie repeated at any
future time, the largest hall in the
city would scarcely hold the crowd
that would gather to hear it.
On motion of Mr. Hauscll Merrill,
Col. A. T. MacIntyre was called to
the chair, who introduced the distin
guished speaker to the audience.
Col. MacIntyre said that since his
election to the chancellorship of the
University, Dr. Boggs had thrown
his whole soul into the work, and
that his efforts met the fullest appro
val of its Board of Trustees.
Dr. Boggs begun by saying that he
was pleased to meet those present for.
two reasons. Because it. was a per
sonal compliment to himself and be
cause it evidenced an increasing in
terest in tho cause of education in
the state.
This same feeling had been shown in
various parts of Georgia, aud it gave
promise of a hotter day for education.
Some interesting details were given
of the early history of the University
aud the foxteriiirj care the state has
exercised.
T'he Chancellor then gave the out
lines of the Felton Bill, which pro
poses to devote the .income arising
from the rental of the state road to
the cause of common schools and of
higher education through the medium
of the branch colleges, the Technolog
ical school and the University.
As emphasizing the need of increas
ed appropriation for the University,
Dr. Boggs gave the incomes enjoyed
by the leading universities of the
country. Harvard has an income
of 8781,000 annually, Irom bequests
and other sources. Yale college
comes next with an income
of between 8-3,00,000 and 8000,000.
The state of New York spent
8000,000 for tho buildings of Cornell
University, and it has an income of
8320,000. Wisconsin’s state univer
sity, though not a score of years old,
lias an iuenme of from 8145,000 to
8175,000. Georgia’s university lias
only 88,000 from the state proper, aud
810,900 from thu laid- scrip find,
824,000 in all.
The address was listened _ to
throughout with profound attention.
To-say that it made a deep impression
puts it mildly. Dr. Boggs is entitled
to tho thanks of all for liis masterly
presentation of the claims of higher
education.
Mr. Dan Forest and daughter, Miss
Hqsie, and Miss Jessie lRitto, arc in
town attendiug the commencement of
the South Georgia College,
_ Every one sympathizes with jo Fass
in his loss, True as steel to his
friends, honest ns the day is long, a
citizen who is ever ready to do his
share, no wonder the popular pulse
beats for him. Thoinnsvillc has no
truer sou.
The kayapnah, Florida and Western
have cut the hours down from lento
eight in its machine department here
and elsewhere. This is done instead
of suspending their men during the
summer, and will keep them all, but
will give shorter hours, with a deduct
ion of wages for hours taken off.
Connecticut Industrial School.
The public exercises of this school
were held at the colored Baptist church
at io a. ni., and were very interesting
in their character. The programme,
published in the Timf.s-Enterpri.se
Sunday was carried out, with sonic
additions. The singing wa^fme.show
ing that tire natural gifts of the African
race can be improved by cultivation.
The recitations were well delivered,
some ol them from the larger girl
particularly so. Their enunciation
was clear and distinct and the empha
sis p'aced on the right word or sylla
ble.
The closing recitation, “The Foun
dation ol the Beautiful City,” by twelve
girls, was very finely rendered by them,
closing with an appropriate song.
There was a large attendance of the
colored people, but only a few whites
were present. It is to be regretted
that so little interest is manifested in
these exercises by our people, Mrs.
Gordon and her faithful corps of teach
ers are doing a good and useful work
among the col .red children of our
pity,
The orderly deportment of the schol
ars was remarked upon. The exercises
of the school children lasted for two
hours.
First came the primaries, y^ih
recitations and sopjg.
Tho motion song, “The Clock,” by
several of the children, was a pleasing
feature of these exercises.
The cpngpft yeoitailon, i‘Tlic Coral
Insect,' 1 and the recitation, “A Little
Bird Tells,” arc to be commended, as
also is the declamation, “A (3ca for
Tcmpcrapce.”
The recitations by Maliio Aikinson,
Kiltie Hamilton and Roberta Mitchell,
were well rendered.
The recitation l<y Marian Few,“The
Soldier’s Song,” we mention as
being spoken with the best expression
of any.
Tite singing was all very good. The
chorus, “For the Truth and Right,”
and the song,“The old Oaken Bucket,”
were very good.
Rev. Mr, Brpadenex, »he pastor of
thp First Baptist church, offered the
opening prayer, and Kcv. Mr. Downs,
the Methodist minister, prayed at the
close ol the exercises.
The Melon Movemonf.
Up to June 24th, 1888, 1164 care
of melons had been shipped from the
line of the >S. F. & W. Ry. Up to
the sam • date Monday night, of this
year, tho shipments amounted to only
265 ears, a falling off of 81)9 ears,
The crop is considerably later than
last year, which accounts in part for
the falling oil, hut enough is now
known of the. probable to make it safe
to predict that the shipments for the
season will not exceed 2,060 cars,
against 3,000 cars last year. In the
melon belt east of Thomasvillc tho
crop was especially alftctcd by the
prolonged drouth ofj May. In the
belt between Thomasville and Albany
the prospect is something better and
the acreage shows • an increase over
last year.
By July 10th, tho bulk of tho crop
will have left. The prices realized so
far Imre been very satisfactory, rang
ing from 8125 to 8275.
George U’cilagc, who has been at
Quitman for the past two weeks, is in
the clutches of the law. Me was the
representative ol A. M. Emler, com
mission merchant, Louisville, Ky., and
had bought several cars ol melons,
for which he paid cither in cash or by
draft. The drafts were duly
honored. A week ago he bought a
car from Mr. II. Shiver and gave him
a draft on his house, which came back
protested Monday. Mr. Shiver then
had Weilagc arrested, and he was
placed under bond to answer the charge
ol cheat ng and swindling. When
No. 6, the night passenger train,reach
ed Quitman Monday night, he hoarded
it, and if vigilant eyes had not
been on die alert lie would have left
his bondsman in the lurch.
By a vigorous use of the wires he
was captured at Waycross, and yes
terday he was brought back to Quit
mnn.
In speaking ol the exercises of the
Connecticut Industrial school yesterday
Rev. G. G. N. Mcponcll, who attend
ed, expressed his surprise and regret
that so few of our people, of southern
extraction, attended these exhibitions.
He characterized the progress made
by the pupils as something remarka
ble and reflecting great credit upon
M rs. Gordon and her efficient^ assist
ants, who have, by their uniform cour
tesy and fine management ol the insti
tution, made many friends in our com
munity.
