BETHANIA, May 3O.-The happy
commencement season has come,
Parents, children and friends have
not been so gay since the decorations
faded from the commencement of '93.
The day Of taking degrees in college
is one of the brightest in the history
OF any individual, and, too, the APP
preciative parents feel compensated
for the sacrifices they have made Mt
home for their dear child who this
day gives testimony of his or her de-
votion to duty.
How delightful is the social feature
of our great commencement occa-
sions! A establishment of old
and happy ties between classmates,
and friends. Let all who can, both
young and old, attend these most
enjoyable of all occasions and have
a gay good time, for verify,
'He that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet
sounds
Is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils."
A good many friends have been at
tending the exercises at the Salem

HARD TIMES IN STOKES.
CoxFy and His Men Should be Killing
Grass-CooI Weather and Politics

Ccxfy and His Men Should be Killing
Grass-CooI Weather and Politics.
Correspondence of the Sentinel
BILLIARD, June 4.-Crops in Stokes
are backward, but corn is looking
fairly well, and the tobacco crop has
nearly all been set, the acreage being
only about half as much as usual.
Oats are nearly a complete failure,
wheat Is sorry except the bearded
varieties. Rye is generally good.
Much complaint is heard of hard
times which has been caused amongst
farmers to some extent by "pride,
iazlness, tobacco and fertilizer" The
movements of Coxey's army is close
ly watched by. many who want to
see if Congress and the President will
not do something to give employ
ment to the idle, and ena Bile farmers
to get better prices for their products
, by restoring silver to it's proper
place AS a money metal, thereby
placing more of the needful in circu-
| latlon. Coxey and his men could do
more good killing "crap grass" now
than by getting on the grass in
| Washington If he don't quit we
will have to exclaim: "What a fish a
frog is?"
The cool weather has kept politics
back like every thing else. The Dem
ocrats have had their chance and
failed to restore prosperity and jeff
ersonian principles, and now the Re-
publicans say we are the fellows to
bring back honest government and
good times. The Populists say both
have had their chance and that the
country has been going from bad to
worse for quarter of a century; now
give reformers a "chance;;" but the
people have been imposed upon and
humbugged SO much they don't
know who to trust; but let us wait
and see their platforms and who they
will put up to guide the ''old ship OF
State" through the dark waters oil
unt ertainty.

Her Schools - Small Crops Grand
mother of Ellen Smith Dead
Correspondence OF the Sentinel.
MANA, June 4-The past week was
a very, cool one for all growing crops.
Corn is needing good warm rains and
plenty of sunshine. Harvest will be-
gin with US about the 18th but the
outlook for good yield is poor
The crop cannot he above two
thirds. Corn is smaller at this seas
on than ever seen here; but this is
owing to the cool nights. The farm
ers have it thoroughly cleaned out,
and the most of them have been
over their crops the second time.
The weather has been fine for the
commencement exercises of the many
flourishing schools in the county. It
is truly gratifying to know they were
all so we'll patronized. There is no
county in the State forging ahead
more earnestly in education than
Yadkin and judging from the many
speeches and essays by the scholars,
she has some exceedingly bright
young ladies and gentlemen. She is
wonderfully blessed in fine musical
talent. possessing as she does some
of the finest string bands to be iound
J in the State.
The tobacco crop here is certainly
the smallest ever put out. We know
of only three farmers having any in
and their crops are one and two
| barns.
Tax assessors are on their rounds
! and the sheriff is trying to collect
that which is already due.

KERNERsviLLE HIGH SCHOOL

Commencement Exercises in Progress
The Annual Sermon.
Correspondence ofThe Sentinel.I
KERNERsvILLE, May 31.-The COM
mencement exercises of the Kerners-
vile High School opened ats O'Clock
last night by a learned, logical and
instructive sermon by Rev. DR.. Hill
lard, of Greensboro. He first read
forcibly the first eight verses of the
10th chapter of l Kings and chose
for the basis of his discourse a part
of the Sth verse. 1t was a deep,
grand, powerful and mastery effort,
embodying both sermon, lecture and
literary address. He dwelt largely
upon the strength, force and mo
mentum the physical man should
gather in order to attain success
and too, it required strength and
momentum to develOpe the intellec-
tual capacities so as to reach high
standard in the requirement of
knowledge.
His Illustrations were patheti-
cally drawn, giving power and inter-
people to gather momentum iii their
earlier days that it might rush them
onward and upward in life-physictl-
ly, mentally and religiously. Ills
closing words were beautiful and Just.
Pro Willis is to be congra tulated
on being SO fortunate in securing
the presence OF a divine SO brilliant
and learned as DR.. Hilliard.
The exercises continue tonight and
tomorrow. The Literary address
will be delivered at 2 p. m Friday by
DR.. Frank L. Reid, President of
Greensboro Female College. K. V.

Rev. DIR. Reid's Address on The
Practical Part of Education"
Correspondence of The sentineLl
KERNERsvILLE, Jure Com
mencement day yesterday in Kerners-
vile from outward appearances was
all that could haye been anticipated,
or wished for as the joyous exercises
SO delightfully."- glided along. The
program of the day was taken up at
10 O'Clock which consisted in the
morning of declamations, recita-
tions, songs and piano music, by
young ladies and young men, Each
part was creditably rendered and
displayed an amount of talent, IL
tellectual training and will power, in
both oratory and elocution, which
would do high credit to more pre-
tentious institutions.
In the afternoon Rev. DIR. Reid, of
Greensboro, addressed an apprecia-
tive audience which will doubtless
prove beneficial to both teachers and
parents in the education and train
ing of their boys and girls. His
opening remarks were beautiful,
touching and tender and very feel
ingly delivered, describing bygone
!; days twenty-four years ago when he
too taught school here at the same
Academy.
The subject of his address was
"The Practical Part of Education"
i and he used it well. He showed the
Importance of home training in
! youth, and on to manhood. 1t was
indeed plain, practical, progressive
and impressive and we trust will re.
suit in much good to the community,
The commencement exercises were
concluded with a few appropriate
| remarks by the worthy principal
Prof. Willis, in which he stated that
the success of his program was due
largely to the kindly assistance and
| efficient management of Lille Har
| mon, Lura Beard and Mamie Peeler
The young people claim that the
social at night was the browning
glory of the occasion. Several gal
lants from the Twin City participant

in all this was one of the most sue
cessful commandments ever held ir

what are the facts? Women voted

term. In 1892 the women of the

SECRETARY MORTON in the June
Forum discusses the marvellous in-
crease of farm production. He says
that the acreage of our farms has
doubled since 1860, and yet the num-
Der of persons employed upon them
has decreased more than 1Oper cent,
and the machinery of the farm in
creased go per cent. Nevertheless,
American Agriculture is today feed
ing in the home market more than
double the population of 1905. When
the tariff shall be SO revised as to
give farm products foreign markets,
prosperity will come.
FROM every quarter continue to
come denunciations of traitorous
Democrats. The Pittsburg Post
(Democratic) says: Senator Hills
pronounced stand for free raw ma
terial, evidenced by his votes for free
ore and free lead, will deceive no
Democrat any more than they were
fooled by the recent speech of Sena-
tor German. These Senators, with
two or three other McKinleyized
Democrats as to their own particu-
lar local or political interests, are re-
eponsible for the delay of the Senate
Ii passing the Tariff bill, .
