THE HIGH SCHOOL.
HI. weinstock's Address on the Char
acter of Washington.


acter of Washington.
The pupils of the High School have
arrived at an age when they can fully
appreciate and understand the full sig
nificance of the occasion, and they
greatly enjoyed the exercises and the
able and interesting address delivered
by n. Weinstock.
The programme rendered by the pu-
pills ran as follows: Music, king Cot
ton March banjoes and guitars,
Messrs Blanchard, Birdsall. Woodburn,
Goddard, Hart and Black; recitation,

sey, accornpanist.
Among other things. Mr.. Weinstock
said as follows:
Ny Young Friends: have been hon
ored by an invitation to talk to you to-
day upon the life and character Of
whose natal day this assemblage is
now gathered.
When we remember that for over one
hundred years the character of this
most iIlustrious American has been
dwelt upon by a host of great writer's
and orators, who with inspired pen and
tongue have seemingly exhausted the
subject it can easily be understood that
=, ono44I5 xxroI1 fa fo tread
the ground worn down so smoothly by
many of the ablest among our authors
and thinkers.
Were 1t not that the character of
Washington is a many-sided one; a
character though sin pie, yet not unlike
a kaleidoscope in the variety of its
powers and achievements: a character
which thus presents new views to new
searchers after the many virtues which
it possessed-were it not for this un-
common quality in the embodiment of
Washington, it were unwise indeed for
any but the ablest to undertake the
task which have here assumed.
Keeping before us the thought that
Washington was intensely human, that
like other men he had his faults and
hss weaknesses; remembering still fur
ther, that his greatest glory and the
greatest value in his character, so far
as IT may influence the lives of others,
lies in the fact, not that he was fault
less. but rather, that being a man of
strong passion, of aristocratic tenden-
cies, of uncommon coldness of tempera-
ment, he could so completely master his
weaknesses as to thoroughly command
them Remembering all this, let US
hastily sketch his career and learn, if
we can, what it means and what il
teaches.
washington in his youth cultivated
methodicaI and correct habits and made
an heroic and successful effort to mas
ter high and ardent temperament. AT
an extremely early age he took a com

w. A. Gett Delivers a Most Patriotic
Address.
At the Harkness Grammar School
the room was crowded, and a large
number of parents and friends were
turned away.
The programme was rendered as pub
lished yesterday morning. w. A. Gett
delivered the address and spoke as fol-
lows:
In the eternal fitness of things it is
proper that the birthday of him to
whom we, as Americans, owe so much
should be commemorated in manner
such as to-day is manifested by this
assemblage Of the pupils of this school,
to bear witness of the love and regard
we, as a people, have for the Father of
our Country.
Much is said of Washington, and
has been aptly said by his historians,
that he was firsb in war, first in peace,
aud first in the hearts Of his country
men, and the name Of Washington has
become throughout the Americas
household name almost venerated. And
it is but fitting that the day of his
birth should be national holiday
George Washington came not of no.
BILE lineage; his boyhood was not passed
in the schoolhouse; his educational ad-
vantages were limited, but with yir-
tuous character and a temperament
marked with discretion. necessity sug-
gesting industry, the Great Architect
Of the Universe so shaped his being
that with the peculiar power of dis
cernment and his ability to marshal
afTairs and men he naturally became a
leader among men.
It is told of Washington that just be-
fore engaging upon any great or Inn
portant undertaking, ike battle, he
invariably held counsel with his Gen
erals; with an outline of his plans be-
fore him. he made himself clear and al
ways accepted such suggestions as were
offered by those familiar with the de-
tails of the duty about to be per-
for,,,aI
1t can truthfully be said, that it is
now impossible to find in the American
Republic a child of the age of 10 years
who is unable TO read and write the
English language, and intelIigently
comprehend and explain the history
and system of our Government, and this
has been brought about by the char
The record-union., 1896-02-22

The controlling power was the grace of
God. For Washington was a religious
man. When he was L eleven years old
his father died. His mother thence had
the sole care of him. He received a
strict godly training. He would not
tell a lie Through his life he was an
observer of the Sabbath. No business
was transacted on that day. He was
also man of prayer. While his army
was encamped near Valley Forge, he
was one day found in a thicket of trees
on bended knees, his face bedewed with
tears, in earnest prayer. The same
fountain of true life is at our command.
This is the reason for saying that each
person may have as good a character.
The God in whom he trusted marvel
ously protected him. He was in special
danger at Princeton, Germantown and
Monmouth. At Braddock' s defeat heWas
the target for many sharpshooters.
Sixty-four British officers were killed or
wounded He was the only mounted off,
Ger that escaped. An Indian chief said:
He cannot diein battle. The Great Spirit
cannot die in battle. The Great Spirit
protects him. He will yet be the chief
of nations"
Finally, he was admired by all peo-
pie. When he returned from the army
thousands focked to see him. The aged
told of his glory. Young men shouted
in his honor, and maidens strewed his
path with flowers. When elected Pres
ident not only did he receive the vote Of
every elector, but, as far as is known
he was the choice of every individual
voter in every State. When he died not
only was this nation in sorrow, but also
from every banner and standard of
France the emblems of mourning were
floating.
This meditation on this princely char
acter should inspire each of us to our
best endeavor for the attainment of
standard of life equally high.

The inception of gdecadence ofsagri.
culture in the South was begun when
the slave was SGT free, land made . com
petitor wife the farmer master and his
family. In the race of life it reduced
both to the same level. One .intoxicat.

to labor and reared for generations in
ease and cultivated in the social ameni-
ties oflife and with luxurious tastes.
Today he II the same as rule. The
negroes idea of freedom was eqempti
from laber and restraint, and in the
main he too today is in the same atti-
tude. The white man fhad his land

his former slave in as partner on
shares or rented to him which was

freedom with prodigal hand. Al the
same time all drew from the soil an

years after the slave was made to

operation of farm ia the cultivation

All other occupations call for work
every day in the year. On the farm
half the time is wasted. Dilapids-
ton, poverty Of person and evil and
ruin in the end is the logical sequence
of the present condition. No man can
sell cotton seed, sbuy provisions on

HON. CYRUS b. WATSON.

The Democratic State convention
made no mistake last night in nomi-
mating Cyrus b. Watson, of Forsyth
county, for Governor.
Mr. Watson had not sought the nous:-
nation. and accepted it only in response
to a demand upon his patriotism that
his devotion to duty and country would
not permit him to decline.
He is a man from and OF the people,
and he touched chord that brought
tears to many eyes last night when,
in accepting the nomination, he said
the first place he should visit when
he left the convention would be to
the country home of his mother, now
in her 92nd year, and tell her that the
great Democratic party had nominted
her son to be Governor of her State.
Mr.. Watson has ability of a high
order; courage that is not to be doub-
ted; and integrity of the most rug
ged type. He was a brave private sol
der, self educated, but educated in that
school of experience and great indus
try that makes the well rounded man.
Mr.. Watson is fighter. He never
runs. He is always in the thickest of
the fight, neither asking nor giving
quarter. He is q great desater--thc
equal of the best. 1911
Mr.. Watsons position upon public
questions is well known. He makes no
concealment of his opinions. His
heart is an open book. His love for
his fellows is so great that there is no
corner in his heart for anything ex-
cept the milk Of human kindness.
AZ Watson has been one OF the
strongest advocates OF the free coin
age of silver from the commencement
of the agitation. He stands true IN
Democratic hostility to all trusts and
combinations, and for the people in
their aspirations for bsttr conditions
and fair chance.
With his clean record; his upright
life; his ability as debater; his capa-
city; his patriotism, and his courage
will make him a worthy successor on
the hustings to the beloved Vance.
