Especial Correspondent
The commencement exercises of
this institution closed on Friday, the
I'D instant. 1t was happy privi-
lege to be present and participate in
the enjoyment Of the occasion. The
program was arranged 70, the exer-
ciSes 20 begin at O'Clock Z. NJ, at
which hour the Young Mems Litera-
ry Society held forth. Mr.. Lewis
Royal was president and Mr.. Holmes
Fowle was secretary. The exercises
opened with declarations by MessrS.
II. Is. Howard, OF Huntley, n. c.,
Mr.. Z. +. Callihan, Of Kelly's, n.
g., and Mr. A. f. Cooper, of Hunt
ley, n. G.. Next came the second
semi-annual debate, subject: "Should
Nol tn Carolina have a Compulsory
Educational System" The affirma-
tive was represented by Messrs. w.
III. Fowle, Jr., of Roanoke, Va, and
II. I. Bowen, of BurgaW, NC. The
negative was represented by Messrs.
C. ID. Shipp, Of Clinton, and ID. j.
COrbett, Jr., of Keith, n. G. The
question was ably handled by these
young men. Their efforts showed
much thought and training and did
credit not only to themselves but to
school and society as we'll. The So
ciety offered gold medal each to
the be. declaimer and debater. The
committee awarded the declaimer's
medal to Mr.. A. F. Cooper, of HUNT
ley, n. G. The medal was presented
by Superintendent Isham Royal in a
few very appropriate remarks. The
committee on debate awarded the
debater's medal to Mr.. H. I. Bowen
of Burgaw, N. c., which was pre-
scented by Senator Marion Butler
The Senator's presentation of the
medal was very timely and original
lie thought the recipient should be
sufficiently gloritied by his meriteC
success and that his remarks should
be for the consolation of the less for
tunate ones, and 50 strikingly did hi
illustrate success in life by the glory
Of repeated and renewed effort, in
spired often by failure, that the un
successful almost congratulated
themselves in defeat.
BY request of the president Of thu
Society Miss Katie Williams kindly
! furnished music, which intersperseC
the exercises of the evening.
The concert at night was the mos
attractive part of the exercises. Thu
hall was crowded to overlooking.
The selections were unusually
good and were both amusing ard en-
tertaining. At the close Of the ex
ercises Mr.. Butler, the principal O
the school, announced that his schoo
would open again on the first Mon
day in August, and that he hoped t.
improve the school and increase it
capacity for students.
We understand that it is the pur
pose of the community, at an earl,
date, to prepare other buildings 70
the school. This certainly should b
done. The wide patronage and tn
reputation of the school demand
more and better buildings. No on
can properly estimate the advantage
and real benefit derived from goOt
school Ill community, and 1t shoul
have every impetus to greater sue
cess possible.

In conversation with prominent
farmer of the lower end of Bladen
comfy, on Black river, yesterday, be-
sides others of Sampson and Pender
counties, we learned that the prospect
for good crop this season is very
small indeed, and they, as couse-
quence. ARE very Responding. The un-
usua lily good harvests of last season
gave then much encouragement,
after several years Of failure, and
they began work this year hopefully
and were sanguine of another season
of good crops. In this however
they now fear they shall be greatly
disappointed. A larger acreage thai

The current terms of the Ramsey

the change will not create any hubbub
and turmoil in the court house. There
are but two offices in which any change
will occur, and but one in which there
is political change. The county at
tOrney's office changes from Judge Egan
to T. d. OBrien. without affecting the
politics of the Office Mr.. O. Brien is one
of the youngest of the county officers.
but he is bright attorney and comes
from noted firm. He will fill the office
to the satisfaction of all concerned. The
office of register of deeds changes from
Republican to Democrat and Gil. Haas
succeeds M. j. Bell. Mr.. Haas is too
we'll known, and his name has been in
the public mouth too frequently of late.
to require mention now. That he will
bring to his new Office the same bust
ness acumen that has distinguished
him in commercial life, goes without
saying. Mr.. Haas has announced no
appointments, and will doubtless thor
oughly familiariZe himself with the
duties of the Office before making any
changes.
The new board of county commission
erS will go into Office to-day, and the
changes are quite Numerous. The Or
ganiZation and possibly the announce
ment of committees will involve to-day'S
proceedings.

Pierce Butler, whose smiling cOunte-
nance will officially adorn the Office of
the county attorney this morning. is a
living example of the achievement pos
sible to the young man of to-day. Mr..
Butler'haS been appointed to the office
of assistant county attorney under the
new incumbent, Thomas d. O'Brien.
Mr.. Butler first saw the light of day Oh
the 18th of March, 1866, on farm in
the township of Waterford, Dakota
county, Minnesota. He is therefore
nearly twenty-five years of age.
He stands six feet high with
his shoes on and his hair
combed He is the proud sou of proud
and prosperous farmer. AT the age of
sixteen young Butler began the cutiva-
ton of his mental faculties at Carleton
college, Northtield. He devoted two
years to the preparatory course, and, en-
tering upon his collegiate term in 'S3,
he graduated on June l6, 1887, with the
degree of 3. s. When he had once
broken from the letters and drudge of
the unitarian. he made college howl
with his subtle and susceptible head
works, and the Carleton alumni are
still wont to praise the sturdy youth for
the aptness and brilliancy which marked
bis college career.
In July. 1887, Pierce Butter came to
st. Paul, where he entered the law
Office of Pinch q Twohy as a student.
In October, 1888, he was admitted to the
bar of this state. In 1889 he began the
practice Of his profession on his own ac-
count, attaining an unusual success for
so young an attorney. Young Butler
was always an active and consistent
Democrat, and the natural principles of
the great party which were inculcated
in his youth were fast marking him a
successful and effective exponent of the
party rule. During the last local cam
paign he exercised his powers political
in behalf of the county Democracy, and
with the result that his influence was
feltin the interest of the party generally
and especially to the success of the new
county attorney. An able lawyer, vlgor-
Gus and active in the prosecution of all
duties, popular advocate and an in
fuential Democrat, Pierce Butler was
certain Of reward fer the staunch 10y
ally and help he extended to his party.
County Attorney O'Brien has made an
excellent experimentation which meets
with the approval of all the friends of a
strong, earnest, Jealous and economical
administration of county government.

Church Duties and Ice Pastimes

A splendid day for skating tempted
several hundred to enjoy that sport yes

Many Others also ''spread the eagle"
and ''cut the figure eight" at various
points Oh the river. The air was de-
lightful-Just cool enough tie be brac-
ing, and at the same time clear and
pleasant. Sober-faced business men
stepped briskly through the streets
taking. evidently, their exercise in pc
destrianism. At White Bear and Min
netonka parties practiced curling and
skating Oh the lakes, and few ice-clad
hills gave the youngsters chance to try
tobogganing. The snow was not sufficient
to admit of much sleighing on the city
streets, but the country folks had some
chance to ride to the music of the jung
ling bells, and many OF them improved
the opportunity. The churches were
we'll attended. New Year penite is
were numerous. Hundreds crowded
the bridges to view the beautiful river,
which was almost entirely covered with
ice. The street cars were well filled,
and general appearance of prosperity
and activity was noticeable, excepting
in the business districts, which were
quiet, of course, for the day was Sun
day.

THOUSANDS OF TONS.
st. Paul Supplying Ice for South
ern Consumption.

Certain extensive products of dis
trict like this are overlooked by the
casual observer in showing the. metro
politan features of the cities. The ice
product is quite an important item,
reaching fully $250,oO0 in value from
the few miles south of st. Paul this win
ter. One concern puts up as much as
10000 tons of ice each winter, and that
concern shipped many tons of ice
from South st. Paul to Kansas
City last summer. That product went
from there by the train load The pure
spring water lakes near South st. Paul
furnish vast amount of clear, whole
some ice, and busy gangs were at work
last week gathering the huge crystal
lized blocks for use next summer. The
ice crop of the Twin Cities and their
vicinity will foot up to large value.
Many populous places receive their
main support in the winter from the ice
crop and IFS Importance is worthy of
note.
