Prize Contest Of the salisbury Academy.

i
We had the pleasure of attending
the gold medal prize declamatory
and recitation contests OF the Sails
bury academy last Tuesday even.
ing.
The large opera house was filed
to overfowing with an appreciative
and well-behavsd audience, that
kept patient and quiet from 7:3O Til
IL O'Clock, p. m, when the commit.
tes, composed OF Mrs. Trowbridge
and Rev. Mr.. Wilmer of Glasgow
and A. C.. vsndiver of Keytesville,
announced the award OF the prizes,
Rev. Wilmer making the presenta.
tion speech.
The contestants for the declama.
tory prize were five young gentle.
men, as follows:
John E. Taylor, Pour Scenes in ChiyaI,
rous Lifs.''
William s. Dracs. '"rhs March to Appo-
mattox."
John E. Perkins. "A vagabond Prince"
Robert B. Tudor, "The Siege of Calais
PRESLEY A. chrisman, "The Death-bed OF
Benedict Arnold"
1t is not going too far in saying
that all the young gentlemen did
well, and that this opinion was
shared in by both the COMMITTEES
and the audience, so far as we heard
an expression. All the others had
the advantage perhaps of Mr.. Tay-
lor in point OF age, but he pulled
near the winning mark in his at
tempt to win the prize. In fact, all
OF them had admirers among the
members OF the committee, and, we
believe, among the audience also.
Considering all the points when the
committee came to compare notes,
Mr.. Perkins had very slight eleva-
tion over his competitorsaon scale
of 100 and to him was awarded
the prize.
The contestants for the recitation
prize were composed of six beautiful
young ladies, who, taken.collrctively
or individually, wereshard to excel.
Their names and subjects were as
Miss Minnie Flanders, MARY Stuart
(from Italian) Act 8. Scene f."
Miss Mary A. Rutherford, tThe Ruggles
Dinner Party
Miss Pearle NJ. Davenport, "Elopement in
Miss Lillian T. Herndon, "Aunt Maria at
Eden Musee."
Miss Pensacola Dameron, "rhe. E ate Of the
Baltimore Grays."
Miss Ardsna Mason. "The Last Hmyn
with Musical Accompaniment.)'
Neither of the young ladies failed
to hold the attention of the entire
audience, and while all did admira-
bly,, it was the opinion OF the COM
mittee that Miss Dameron, in q
slight degree, excelled them all, and
to her was awarded the gold medal.
The committee made honorable
mention of Miss Flanders, and so
might they have done in reference to
all of them without doing violence to
their conscicnces. We took Miss Ma
son to be the junior Of the other con-
testants by from one to three years,
and quite nobly did she perform her
part for one 90 young. Mics Hern-
don, who impersonated .Aunt Maria
at the Eden Musee," was q success. J

BRLTISH GREED.

The one consuming ambition of Great
Britain is, and ever has been, TO own the
earth. Its boast is that the sun never
"scts" on one part OF it's possessions
without shining on some other part, and
it's evident desire is TO have il shine only
on British territory. It's organized greed
seems now more voracious than ever.
Whether by conquest, bluff or theft IL
can acquire new territory, ii makes no
difference; the end always iustilies the
means. This is The ruling passion in the
kingdom Of Great Britain, and IL will be
the death of her yet Some day other
mighty powers will rise and cut off her
tentacles. The spirit OF iorbearance has
about departed, says the Detroit Jour
nal, and in its place the spirit Of resent
ment is getting mighty strong. There
isn't civilized nation on the globe that
has not some old slugs saved up for
John Bull, and he'll get them in the neck
some day il he keeps on reaching out for
territory that hc has no right to even
look at.
IL has been said that there will be no
more war between English speaking
nations, but there may bc one in several
different languages before long il the
British government gets too aggressive
on this continent This nation wants
peace with all nations, but il doesn't
want il Mt theexpcnse OF national honor,
and won't have IL that way.
Uncle Sam has pretty fair sort OF a
navy now, and it is going TO keep right
on growing. The way TO insure peace is
to have navy strong enough to com
mand foreign respect.

free wool hung over this home industry
and discouraged il. IL had about the

the price Of wool as II the threat had
been put into execution at once. And
now that the actual blow has been

Sugar Stocks Regarded More

Government Report Shows Winter
Wheat and Oats Poor.
Special 10 The News

New YORK, June l0.-To quote the Boston
Commercial Bulletin: "sugar stocks are re-
garded more fayorably than before the panic.
People have seen how smoothly the trust
went through the panic and the ensuing de-
prossons. Investment holdings have conse-
quenty increased. and also the confidence Of
investors in their holdings. II Is gossip in
Wall street that when Sugar sold down to 50
last November. tho Havemeyer party lost a
cold million in trying % get 1t down further.
In spite Of all the alarming stories, the market
was taken from the bear eli sue. We do not
know what fluctuation suga- certificates may
have, but we predict that they Will cost l3O
before September 10. The trust never owned
so much raw Sugar which cost IL 50 low n
price as at present, and people familiar with
Sugar making and selling agree that the
present will be the biggest season IN the com
pany's history as regards profits"
There was not much in Saturdays market
of suggestive value. London houses bought
small amount Of stock in the last hour, but IL
was regarded as trading rather than the ex-
psctation Of any particular London demand.
Trade reports indicate returning confidence.
This with good crop reports should give ad-
vancing prices 10 stocks later on. Local intlu-
ences control at the moment, viz: The atti-
tude of the board room traders, who are short
Of the market, and demand from London.
Prices from there are strong, and higher, and
seem TO contradict the effect Of high sterling
rates.
The government report, due at ] p. m TO-
day, shows very poorly on winter Wheat and
Oats, and good on spring Wheat.
