WITH ENTHUSIASM
Twenty-five Bright Young Men
and Women Receive
Their Diplomas.
ADDRESS HON. W. M. HOW
ARD WAS MASTERLY EFFORT
Miss Borchardt, Salutatorian
and Miss Helen Lissner Vale
dictorian, Receive Plaudits of
Classmates and Audience
Miss Carruthers Wins Medal.
The most eloquent and convincing
argument ever delivered in Brunswick
in the cause of higher education was
that to which Col. William M. How
ard gave utterance last night in his
splendid address to the graduating
class of the Glynn High school, and
in the presence of an audience that
taxed the capacity of the First Baptist
church auditorium, and annex. At the
conclusion of the gifted Georgian’s ad
dress he was the recipient of enthus
iastic applause.
The graduating class was greeted by
a representative audience as they filed
down the aisle, taking their places on
the platform, the galaxy of young
women presenting a scene of unusual
loveliness. Every feature o“ the pro
gram was admirably executed and the
audience was liberal in its applause
at the conclusion of the rendition of
each number, the delivery of which
was marked by thorough preparation.
The exercises opened with a fervent
invocation by Rev. O. P. Gilbert, fol
lowed by the introduction by Principal
Eadie, of the Glynn High, of Hon. B.
E. Mann, who gracefully introduced
the speaker of the evening, Hon. Wil
liam Howard, who, after the applause
With which he was greeted, delivered
his masterly address, which was pre
faced by a beautiful tribute to the
6ity of Brunswick, which he was visit
ing for the first time. He referred to
the beauty of the-city itself, and to the
culture and refinement lie had found
here, evidencing the pride of its citi
zens in their educational institutions.
Mr. Howard then began the delivery
of. his address, which held the large
audience enraptured throughout its de
livery. He declared that education
was the second most stupendous en
terprise in which the people are en
gaged, and that it was a cardinal doc
trine of this government that all the
people must lie educated, and educated
at the expense of the states.
A brief synopsis of Mr. Howard's
address would do it but scant justice.
He handled his subject profoundly and
convincingly, demonstrating the ad
vantages of the educated man over the
man who made his living by his mus
cle.
In the course of his yearks, Mr. How
ard asserted that no government has
ever s been better than the best people
in control. The grovernment was or
dained for the protection of life, lib
erty: and the property of the people.
"You should bear in mind.’ said the
speaker, ‘that you are being-' educated
vyith the people’s money, which 1 is an
investment for the betterment of the
government under" which we live.” He
said thatthere is a wide gulf between
the man who can make a competence
by other than his muscle and he who
ijas (o depend entirely upon his mus
cle. Education is the ’ greatest boon
we can bestow upon our children, and
we who are leaving the stage must
leave the solution of all great prob
lems to the coming generation.
Mr. ’Howard’s peroration was elo
quent and when he had concluded he
was accorded rounds of applause.
Following Mr. Howard’s address, the
class, sang “Bright is the Sunshine,”
their voices blending in exquisite har
mony. ’ v
Miss Tillie Borchardt, salutatorian,
captivating manner, saluted her
:*'ss mates and the audience with a
recital of the glories of her
*glass. Her effort was well received.

FARMERS MEET IS
POSIPORED UNTIL
FRIDAY 2 O'CLOCK
This Action Taken on Account
of the Big Barbecue at
Brookman.
GATHERING WAS TO HAVE
BEEN HELD TOMORROW
Letters Sent to Those Interest
ed in Agriculture, Live Stock,
etc., Sent Out by Chairman
Ferguson, of Committee Hav
ing Gathering in Charge.
On account of the fact that there
will be a big barbecue at Brookman
on Thursday, at which many farmers
of this and other counties will be pres
ent, it was decided to call the meet
ing, which was to have been held here
tomorrow until Friday at 2 o’clock in
the Board of Trade rooms and it is ex
pected that it will be attended by
scores interested in the subject which
will be handled at this meeting.
Chairman J. E. Ferguson, of the
committee having the meeting in
charge, has mailed hundreds of the
following letters:
"There is a general movement in
the counties of South Georgia toward
co-operative methods among the farm
ers for handling and disposing of their
products. This movement seems to
have been very successful in a num
ber of counties, and good prices have
been obtained through shipping pool
cars, etc.
“The Board of Trade is very anxious
to assist the farmers in any way pos
sible toward improved methods and it
has been thought advisable to call a
meeting for Friday, June 16th, at 2
p. m., in the Board of Trade rooms at
the Oglethorpe hotel, of all who are in
terested, to discuss the advisability
of forming some sort of a co-operative
association among the farmers.
“This association can cover a very j
wide field, and among other subjects I
which we would like to discuss are |
the following: Farm loans, co-opera-j
tive selling; methods of growing and:
handling; potato curing warehouses,l
and any other subjects 'which might be J
of Interest. j
“The present methods of disposing
of farm products in Glynn county
seems to be very inadequate, and if
progress is to be made toward develop
ing our county, improVed methods or
handling and disposing of our pro
ducts must be inaugurated.
“This is a matter of such vital impor
tance to the county that we trust you
will use every endeavor to attend the
meeting, and give us the benefit of
your experience and advice.
“Trusting to see you at 2 p. m., on
Friday.”
TOMORROW INCOME
TAX BECOMES DUE
Last Day in Which to Settle Sec
ond Installment for Year of
1921, and Unless Paid Easy
Plan Forfeited.
Tomorrow, June 15, is the last day
for making payment of the second in
stallment of income tax for the year
of 1921 and unless al liables pay they
will forfeit their installment privi
leges and the entire amount due the
goverment will be demanded without
. further delay.
Very few Brunswickians were dere
lict in this very important matter last
payment date and it is supposed that
the average person who comes under
the law will not subject himself or
herself to privileges enabling install
ment payments.
While Uncle Sam is a close collec
tor he is also an excellent paymaster
and tomorrow will pay interest on the
first Liberty-Victory bonds. Many of
! these are held here and the sum to
be paid out will run well into the thou
sands of dollars.
