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.
