THE success of the News and Cou-
rier in the prize story, "Ashurst," !"
encourages the proprietors to offer
further inducements to the literary
writer's of our State. This time
q handsome copy of Tennyson's Po-
ems is offered for the best original
Charade, sent in by the end OF June.
Such valuable offers cannot fail to
build up a literature Of which the
State, in the near and distant future
will be proud. Such an enterprising
public spirit will do as much and
perhaps more for the honor of the
South than successful military lead
er in time of war or statesman in
times of political trouble,

CIafin University.

Clafiin University.
The commencement exercises ol
this institution begap on last Sunday
evening with BaGcalaureate sermon
by the Rev. V. II. Bulkley. Monday
and Tuesday were devoted to the cx-
animation Of classes and Monday
evening to prize declamation. We
learn that these exercises were emil
nenuy satisfactory to the trustees
and Faculty and very creditable TO
the students. Imperative business
engagement prevented us from at
tending except upon Wednesday,
commencement day. We attended
the last commencement occasion and
were scarcely prepared for the yery
marked Improvement noticeable on
this. Each speaker was selfpossess-
ed and exhibited both in Ais manner
and execution q thorough drill and
great pains-taising to succeed. lhere
was not failure or the slight
est approach to one on the part of a
single student; whilst on the other
hand, every one Of the twenty-eight
speeches did the students great credit
and won for them the applause of the
audience. "o would like TO give a
personal notice of each speaker. but
space forbids it, yetwe deem it but
just to refer in vcey special manner
to the orations of Mcssrs. G. w.
Priolean. A. w. Whaley, A. H.
Black, 6. j. Davis, Miss II. Dickson,
d. II. Bowen, w. Bulkley, w. G..
White, and the valedictory address
by Miss S. f. Middleton as exhibit
ing proficiency and degree of talent
we did not expect to find in our COL
orcd youth 80 early in their course.
1t is certainly encouraging to the
founder Of the college and to the
State to witness such noble results
from their efforts to educate and ele-
vnte the colorcd people. A dozen
years from this time these educated
and refined young men and women
will exercise telling influence upon
their race. And if that influence be
properly directed, our colored people
will become not only intelligent citi-
zens but prosperous people, capa.
BILE OF both exercising the rights and
enjoying the privileges Of the govern
ment. The two RACES will then BE
prepared TO live together in harmony
without fears from those terrible
threatnings from Northern political
adventurers and Southern scalawsgs
which now hang both upon our
religious and political society like a
deadly incubus.
For these hopes to which this occa-
sion gave birth, our people arc in
dehted to DR.. Edward Cooke, the
president of this Institution and his
noble band Of co-laborers, Professor
Lawrence, Miss Merrill and Mr.. Mid
dleton from the North, and P.cfes-
sors DeTrevillc and LaRoche, young
men Of our own State. These gentle.
men have worked harmoniously to.
gether and the results Of their labors
prove what a wise provision it was to
combine the Agricultural College
with the University under one Facul.
ty. These gentlemen are the right
men in the right place, and we trust
the Trustees will ever be mindful oi
the interest of the College and keep
them there.

Mrs. Seth Clark.

Tnis aged matrOn who died at 1872 Congress

lei Thurston of Bradford, Mass, born there on
the 10Th OF Oct, 1897. From eight years of age,
she was reared in the family of her cousin,
John P. Thurston, an eminent merchant Of
Portland, who moved from here to New York
in 1919, and became one of the leading COM
mission merchants of that city. The niece was
several years a scholar at the Portland Acad-
