JUNE FURNITURE SALE
Will Continue the Entire Month
A once in six months sale, when all furniture in the store is re
duced 10 to 33 1-3 per cent. A reduction of 10 to 33 1-3 per cent at
Andrews’ means much more than the same reduction elsewhere, because
our original price is much lower.
This is not a sale of odds and ends, it is not to close out dead stock,
because we have not $50.00 worth of dead stock in our entire stock.
It is a sale of our entire stock of up-to-date furniture, rugs and draper
ies. Our reason for this sale is to stimulate business in a month in which
people usually do not think of buying furniture. This is our sole and only
reason.

Mr. Evans’ Address.
Mr. Evans’ address was unquestion
ably one of the best, If not the best,
on education ever heard In Augusta.
Mr. Evans is a renowned lectureh,
and is possibly known even better in
this respect away from here, as for
tunately for towns away from Augus
ta he has spoken elsewhere more
than at home. Major Butler said
that he thought it his duty as well as
his privilege to ask Mr. Evans to de
liver an address in his own town and
took occasion to request 'him to make
the principal speech' at his commence
mtnt. In his effort at the Opera
House last night Mr. Evans exceeded
the anticipations of his most ardent
admirers.
Mr. Evans began his address by
saying that he looked into the faces
off these boys (looking at the grad
nates) he asked himself the question,
•‘What do they know? What can
they do and what Is the extent of

their usefulness In the world into
which they are about to enter?
Mr. Evans spoke for thirty min
utes or more, slowly and distinctly,
and profoundly Impressed every lis
tener, and everyone In the audience
was an attentive listener all the
’time. .
Class Speaker.
Preceding Mr. Evans' address, how
ever, the class oration was delivered
by Cadet Phillips Cohen, who spoke
well. His speech for What it con
tained and for the splendid manner
in which it was delivered was gen-
I trously encored.
I Succeeding Mr. Evans’ address the
diplomas and certificates were de
livered.
The class honors were then an
nounced by Mr. T. I. Hickman, chain
man of the high school committet of
the board.
A few remarks were made by lion
Boykin Wright, president of the Trus
tees of the Academy, iu which 'he
characterized Mr. Evans’ address as
coming from a man who devotes
much thought to education and who
besides Is one of the greatest orators
of this section.
Mr. Wright made the suggestion
and expressed his fitneerest hope that
an organlzaton be perfected at an
early date of the Academy Alumni.
He said that by all means there
should be an alumni assoclaton of the
academy.

problems in the United States was il
lustrated at a recent dinner by Dr. *>.

lated by Dr. James Clarke in his rern
lnlscenes of Oliver Wendell Holmes.
The two were at the time students in
Harvard when an argument arose
about metaphysics.
“I’ll tell you, James,” said Holmes,
"what I think metaphysics is like. It
Is like a man splitting a log. When it
is done he has two more to split"
