The Honen Path High School Commence
ment.
It was our privilege as well as our
pleas ure to attend the closing exercises of
Honea Path High School, which began
last Thursday night and ended last Friday.
And right here we desire TO state that it Is
Impossible to write up this OCCASION so as
to give the reader full idea Of what
genuine success it was, and how we'll
each one performed his or her part. Prof.
j. Il. Watkins and all his assistants have
good cause to lie proud of their success.
It reflects most favorably on them and
their work, and illustrates their ability to
train the young; but the most striking
feature of it all to lis was the fact that in
every thing the leading IDEA seemed to be
personal character.
The programme for Thursday night con-
sisted of declamations by Messrs. l.. L;
Ezel, of Woodruff, and J. G. Payne, of
Brushy Creek, this County, the annual
debate Of the Pierian Literary Society,
anGa the annual address by J. e. Garling-
ton, Esq, Of Laurens, S. G.
The declamations were very good and
we'll delivered The debate was on the
following: ,"Resolyed, that the Tariff is
disadvantage" The affirmative was
espoused by Messrs. T. o. kirkpatrick, Of
Honea Path, and B. Y. Culbertson, Of
Exon. S. Co., and the negative by Messfs.e :
J. E. Harper, of WoUdville, S. c., and j.
L. West, Of Warthen, s. c. Notwith-
standing the question WAS very weighty
one, these young men handled it brayely
X ,,oo,,r rt r,F f1,aI n ohofo
Messrs. T. II. Brock, II. S. Shumate and
Gliding committee, retired. and, after a
short STAY, rendered their decision in favor
of the negative
The subject of Mr.. Garlington's address
was citizenship The speaker treated
his subject from the standpoint of Amcri
can citizenship, in which each individual
is pro tanto responsible for the manage
nlent of the affairs of the State. A citi-
zsnship of free and equal rights. We
wish every citizen of Anderson County
could hnye heard this address. It was
brimming full Of good, solid matter that
our people would do we'll tc consider.
Let Jus be free American citizens. This
concluded the exercises of the evening.
The Honca Path String Band furnished
delightful music for the occasion.
On Friday morning after prayer by MIR.
Brown, of Due West, the first thing was
the welcome address by Mr.. c. K. Burts a
son or Rev. It. B. Burts, Of this County,
This was one of the best, most appropriate.
and in every. way admirable welcome ad-
dress we ever listened to. We might go
over the whole programme Of Friday and
speak truthfully in glowing terms of
each, but We shall only speak Of the ad-
dress of Rev. J. A. Mundy, D. D., which
was the last thing on the program ME
except the Valedictory by Mr.. Henry
Newton, of Garvin Township. DR.. Mum
dy's discourse was taken from the
phrase, "'Searching for q man." He said
be was satisfied the young ladies' of the
audience were engaged in the search for
man. If they are not they ought to be;
but he said he did not mean by the term
man those donlics that women hitch on
to to be drawn through life. He said |
mean man, real man, who is most like
Him in whose image he was made.
This address should be long remem-
bered by those who heard it, and the
young people should earnestly strive to
be men.
Honca Path cannot be surpassed for
educational facilities. No community
has better school, with better teachers,
and surrounded by a more favorable
society and climate. The people of Honea
Path are always ready to make their visl-
tors enjoy stay in their town. This we
did to the fullest extent.
