HARRIS.
From Jones Seminary.

CAROLINA SPARTAN: Thinking per.
haps you. readers would not object to
few hints from this beautiful, roman .
tic and secluded spot, win sndsavor
to tell you something about It.
Is lie situated among the sunny hills
Of North Carolina, four miles east Of
Kings' Mountain and si1 miles west Of
Gastonis. II Ia . lovely place for .
school.
The Seminary consists Of four large
buildings. These buildings are stu
ated just at the foot Of. Crawder's
Mountain.
Even as early In the season - March,
1t was bright and warm, and often the
girls were seen climbing this mountain
! In search Of flowers, and coming back
from these walks with their arms full
Of the beautiful trailing arbutus, which
grows in great abundance over ell our
Southern mountains.
Tbere:are seventy pupils and three
teachers here now.
On the 1st day Of May the school
gave an entertainment, called tho "Aar
Pole Dance" Tventy.four beautiful
girls, dancing around the Nay Pole,
plated the ribbons beautifully. The
lovely Queen seated on her gorgeous
throne, made Of evergreens, ferns and
flowers, attended by four maids Of
Honor and q guard Of eight, was .
sight lovely to behold, while the rest Of
the school made the hills echo with
beautiful music, to which all kept time.
1t was q pleasant occasion and time
long TO be remembered by all who were
present.
On Saturday night, the 9Th inst, .
''Fsckey party" was given, which was
q grand success. Most Of the girls ex-
erted themselves to sec who could be
the tackiest, and some very ridiculous
costumes were presented. A prize Of
q transparent cake Of soap, tied with .
blue ribbon, was offered by Miss Flors
johnson and was won by Miss Louise
Colman, who was pronounced by the
Judges as the tackiest Of the crowd.
Three cheers for tho ''Taekey party"
Rev. Mr.. Hampton breaches to us Or
casionally. Twice every month We 60
to Pisgah, an L. r. p. church about
two miles from here, Of which Rev. Mr..
Galloway Is pastor. he ia . good
preacher and Q noble man.
We have q young ladies' prayer meet
ing in the Seminary which II condue-
ted by the girls. 1t has . good infiu-
erce over all.
There are several mineral springs bore
noted for their medicinal water.
The many springs, the lovely flowers,
the beautiful paths, tho dear good
teachers, and the mother and father
which we find in our Principal and his
wife, all make life pass very pleasantly
for us, although, Of course, We some
times long for our homes.
In the Seminary is q Library con-
sisting of 700 volumes to which the
girls have access and many weary
hours are made pleasant by reading
these volumes.
School closes June 14th, when We
will leave the lovely scenes for the
desrer ones at home.
With best wishes to the readers and
9 uecess to the SPARTAN, / am sincerely

studied law, medicine and theology.
Frequently in his hallucinations he

ers, and members Of other young peo-
ple,s societies, insugurated new cru
sade against the traffic in intoxicants.
1t arranged for q close alliance Of ali the
young peoples societies, Of the churches!
for organizing a definite "plan Of cam
paign" to promote first, total abstinence
for the individual, than local prohibi-
ton for village, town. and county, and
a. soon as possible for the whole Domin-
ion Of Canada. The county ct large,
yea, the whole world, has much TO hope
for and expect from this new movement
TO our mind II indicates more thsn al
LIT decade. Whenever we can get the
young people Of all the churches aroused
on this subject and united in the fight,
whiskey viii have to 60. There are no
obstacles that appear unsurmountable
to tho fiery zeal Of youth. The customs
Of the past, though hoary with age and
hedged about by legal phantasm Of
property considerations" and "inalien-
able rights" cannot obtain reverence
from our American youth when they
are linked with iniquity, as Is the case
with the liquor traffic. Give our boys
and girls a chance, get their conviction,
and faith, and courage firmly fired, aud
they will sweep the abominstion from
the land in short order.
In the fight with the whiskey evil
heretofore, two things have been lack
ing. All the Christian people have not
been equally determined in their oppo.
sition to the evil, and there has not been
that uniHcation of forces that would
bring success. This is rapidly changing.
Good people are growing more and more
earnest In the fight; and slowly, but
surely, they are coming to that place
where they can see eye to eye, and will
join forces for the final fight. The
young people will lead the way. We
hope this new crusade will not be con-
fined to Canada, but that 1t will spread
to the United States, and then leap
across the waters, and unity the youth
of Christendom for the war. We call
upon tho Epworth League Convention
at Cleveland, and the great Christian
Endeavor Convention at Montreal. to
take this q uestion under consideration
and formulate same plan by which all
the young peoples socities in the United
States can work together for the e1ter-
mination of the LIQUOR traffic.

strange collection had come tog, Their all the
way from the west and were bound for farm
a sh Drt distance from Laurel. The man said
that there was no sale for the stock and other
things in Iowa, so h cha 'red the car and
brought the whole OIL fit through at the expense
Of $I75.
