exercises, and there was not mem
Der Of the class but who did their
part we'll. Before the class song Prof.
Bass called upon Rev. Quincy Ewing
to invoke divine blessing upon tn .
ceremony which he did in short and
impressive manner.
The papers and speeches were far
above the average heard from pupils
of their age, and showed the thor
oughness Of the training they received
at the school. Mr.. A. J. Rose, .
prominent attorney Of the city and
one of the sch ,ol trustees, delivered
the diplomas to the graduates and in
his talk he spoke Of the needs Of q
larger and more comfortable school
building and also for building east
of the railroad. He said the trustees
had figured out that both could be
built and furnished at a cost Of $50,
900 and urged upon the ladies present
that this was the KIND Of politics in
which they could play an important
part and win the fight. Before pre-
senting the diplomas Mr.. Rose paid
the graduates high compliment on
the excellence Of their work and
hoped the continued success would
follow them throgh life.
At the close of the exercises Prof.
Bass addressed feeling and touching
remarks to the graduates, reviewing
their work and complimenting them
ON their excellent work and high
standings, and impresing upon each
one the fact that they have just now
started iout in life and, that they

The entertainment 81 the opera

pleased with the performance from

replete with the latest ID musical line

nm x SAD TRAGEDY q ~
! Last Monday morning at HIS home
on Kinds street Mr. J. II. Moore re-
csived bullet in his head. from
which he died an hour afterwards.
There has been quite mystery eel
70 how he was shot, for ct the time
there was no one In the ro0m. all
the family being at breakfast. and
when they reached his bedside be was
unconacious and remained 30 until
his death.
We are told that he always slept
with pistol beneath his pillow.
The suggestion that he may have COM
mitted suicide is dispelled BY the fact
that he had no canse to commit the
act for II he had trouble no one knew
IL and in business way be was suc-
ceeding as we'll Is one could expect.
The affair was sad ono and 81
true feeling Of sympathy goes out To-
the heart broken family Of the de-
ceased. Mr.. Moore has been resi-
dent Of Greenyille for the past al
years, coming here from Brandon,
Miss. At the time Of his death he|
was member Of the X. Of P. and !.
o. O. #. lodges Of this city.
His funeral took place ct the home
Wednesday afternoon and was largely
attended, and followed to the ceme-
terry whore the remains were laid t0|
rest.

SENATOR MONEY.
His Life and Power Reviewed by 1
Writer in the Washington Post.

One Of the features Of the extra ses.
sion OF the senate was the speech Of
Senator fernando d. Money ON the
race question, and it has created q
great deal Of discussion in politics and
social circles. It was plain, can
did, even blunt, statement Of the
Southern views Of an old question,
which recent events have made new /,
and which 80 far as the cotton States
are concerned, must even be vital.
Mr.. Money does not pose as an orator.
He does not deal in rhetoric. He
never resorts to defamation. There
is nothing furious in his speech. He ID
calm, dispassionate, and earnest, and
commands the respect Of both
sides Of the chamber.
There are twelve senators from the
New England States, and Of these six
have combined service Of 1888 years.
Five Of them have served in the
House Of Representatives, in which
their combined service was thirty six
years. Thus the average service Of
these six individuals in the national
councils is twenty mine years. Is it
q matter Of wonder that New England
exercises so great influence in nat ion-
al politics?
This is lesson for the South to
learn. A man with the genius Of the
late Senator Lamar, and the industry
Of the present Senator Morgan, would
have to serve q novitiate in the senate.
Take the case Of Senator German. he
was six years in the senate before the
country heard Of him. yet the other
day he became leader Of the minority
for the reason that he was eighteen
years q senator. The South should
not persist in changing her represen-
tatives in the senate SO frequently,
thus depriving herself Of the advant-
ages that must ever. attend experience.
What discipline is to the soldier ex-
perience is to the statesman.
IN HIS INTELLECTUAL PRIME.
Senator Money is now in his intel
lectual prime. He is n native Missis'
sippian, 10 Southern to the marrow,
was educated in q Southern school,
has the habits Of Southern gentle
man; his mind FORCES Southern
thoughts, and his heart is pregnant
with Southern sentiments. He Loves
that land that was his fathers; il
waters, its trees, its flowers. He lovel
the Southern sun that makes the
Southern chimes. He was Confed'
crate soldier and gave his services fol
the Southern cause.
In 1874 Mr.. Money was the editol
of country newspaper in the third
congressional district. It was in TIN
dark days Of reconstruction, wher
government was conflsication and pol
| itics was nightmare.
It was in 1876 that q Democratic
party was organized in the third dis
trict and a Democratic convention
was held to nominate candidate fol
congress. It assembled at West Point,
Clay county, and was representative Of
the intelligence, the property, and
the excellence ofthe State.
After the organization OF the body
and the adoption Of a Democratic plat
form, nominations for congress were
in order. 1t appeared a hopeless ven
ture and all the older men declined
At last Judge Jarnigan, a venerable
and veteran lawyer, suggested that
it was a young mans fight, and ne
asked why not draft young man in
to the service.

The Cotton Markets.

New York, July 13.-The cotton
market opened weak at decline Of
9a2O points and for time showed con-
siderable activity and great weakness
as result Of the sensational break in
Liverpool, the excellent crop weather
report over Sunday and renewed re-
ports OF mills closing in various sec
tions. September was the most active
position and at one time showed net
loss from the close Of Saturday Of 20
points. Later, however, Liverpool
showed steadier tone and recovered
part of the early loss, closing net 8 to
II points lower. This rallied the local
market and while trading became less
active, during the balance of the sea-
son, prices displayed a generally up
ward tendency, recovering to 32 points
of the early loss. But while at the
close the tone was steady, prices still
showed net loss for the day of lal2
points. Sales estimaed at 200,
bales.
e.The decline in the English market
was variously attributed, some claim
ing that it was the result of tenders
On contract, while other private cables
stated that it was due to selling from
this side.
Spot cotton closed quiet 10 points
decline: middling uplands II. 40; mid
ding gulf ~. 65; sales 616 bales.

NEGROES IN INDIANAPOLIS.

Indianapolis, Ind. July 12.-Negro
leaders in Indianapolis are taking
steps to avert race war. Tie Evans
vile riots and conflicts between the
races in other cities have made them
appreheRsige of similar outbreak
here. An organization that is known
as Tie Negro Busines League. has
lust been formed to rid the city Of
what the better element of the race
calls the Jim Crow" negro. The
prime movers Of this league are J. 81.
Lott, DE- I3. j. Morgan and A. 3.
Manning, Gurley Brewer, editor OF
the World, the negro organ, who is
supporting the movement, said today. :
ss It is very easy to determine who
the shiftaess, worthless negroes are.
Agents Of the Negro Business League
viii make inqairy concerning them,
and those how will not work will be
reported to The authorities with re-
Quest that they be drivsz out of town.
This scheme OF ridding the city OF
worthless negres is both practical and
sensible.

Another shop litter was arrested for
stealing goods in the Minor Store
Saturday night. The prosecution will
be pushed against everyone of the
women against whom sufficient evi-
dence to convict has been secured and
it is to be hoped that sufficient punish
ment viii be meted out to them to
serve as an efecSual warning to others
who have been appropriating to their
own use goods belonging to the mer-
chats. The police deserve full credit
for following up these cases and
Chief Bradford is especially to be
commended for his determination
to push every case and not permit
any to be compromised even though the
parties from whom the goods were
Stolen are willing to drop the cases. Ev
cry time compromise is made with q
confessed thief other thieves are en-
couraged and emboldened to continue
their depredations, for they can easily
steal more than it costs them to pay
up and compromise when detected
once in while. The way to stop this
wholesale shop lifting is to put the
maximum punishment on every thief
that is captured.

HEeRo RIO7 IN NEN YORK.

New York. July u "A riot, which
required the reserves of three police
precincts to snppress, broke out to
night In the negro quarter in West
Sixty-secand street. The trouble was
precipitated By the attempt OF po-
iiceman to arrest Wm. Johnston, the
leader of gang of negroes who were
making disturbance in the street.
The policeman secured his prisoner
after a sharp fight and was dragging
him to the station house when he was
assailed by mob and Foi2eys of
bricks and stones were hurled at him
from the roofs of adjacent tenements.
On the arrival of 20 other police
men, Connor opposed fire on a negro
roof and the shots were returned from
windows of the house. The reserves
cleared the streets and chased the
rioters over the roofs, making several
arrests and finally restoring order.
