EAGLE ROCK SCHOOL CLOSES.
Sermon by Rev. II. j. Bateman, and
Address by State Treasurer
IL. X. Lacy.

The closing exercises of the school
at Eagle Rock, twelve miles east ~
Raleigh, took place yesterday after
noon. The school is well-equipped,
with Miss Annie Abernethy principal
and her sister assistant.
a Raleigh gentleman who was
among the number of people that
went out from here to attend the eX-
ercises, says that the debate was the
very best he has heard in many
day, and especial mention should re
made of the two ScarborOs, Robinson
and Debnam, but all six were as good
as he ever heard. The music, too, he
said was unusually good.
The sermon was by Rev. r. j. Bate
man, pastor of the Fayetteville Street
Baptist church, of this city, and it
was admirably appropriate. The text
was from the first chapter, Sth verse
of Daniel, But Daniel purposed in his
heart that he would not defile him.
self" The first idea was that every
man, woman and child ought to have
a purpose in life and not drift. The
second thought was that, after having
a purpose, it ought to be an honor
able, high and worthy one. The third
idea was that under no circumstances
should a person defile himself, but
should keep himself clean, body mind
and soul.
Inc mouse was over " itH
people. Some had to stand up, and
good many could not get in at all A
basket dinner followed the sermon
and the greatest profusion of all KINDS
of good things to eat was on hand
and everybody had a fine time.
After dinner there was some excel
lent music by the girls, and then
Can't. Frank Ferrall introduced Hon.
r. r.. Lacy, State Treasurer OF North
Carolina, in a very graceful little
speech. which he wound up by saying
that the people in Wake county loved
to call him Ben Lacy. Mr.. Lacy spoke
on the three different natures OF man,
the animal. the mental and the spirit
uaI, and the necessity of cultiVatlng
each one. He quoted Henry Grady S
account of the funeral in North Geor-
gia and said it was perfectly applica-
BILE to North Carolina as We'll He

and said the great trouble With the
state was that we had too many peo-
ple walking around that were dead to
all progress and advancement. Mr..
T.acy spoke of cotton manufacturing,
saving that we had more knowledge
than the Indians in the matter of Gull
tivation. but not as much as the yam
KEGS or the Frenchmen in the making
of it into fabrics and garments.
Mr.. Lacy was in splendid form, and
probably never made a better speech
in his life, and received something like
an ovation as he concluded. The ver-
dict of the visitors was that Eagle
Rock is one of the best spots in North
Carolina

A PUBLIC OFFER.
To All Persons i'm Raleigh Who Wish
to Gain Flesh.


Some people do not need to gain
flesh, but many must before health
can be restored to a normal condition.
Are you thin? Do you require more
flesh to be really well and strong? If
you do we want you to commence a
course of treatment now with VinOl
and we will agree that if after you
have taken what we consider should
be enough to restore your normal
weight, and it has not succeeded, we
will pay for all the medicine you
have taken ourselves.
Now you will agree that we would
ruin ourselves financially if we should
make such bold offer on an article
of no merit, and we must know what
we are talking about, or we would
not guarantee the action of any me-
dicine like that.
A prominent physician recently
said: 1.-THE best way to gain good,
solid, firm flesh is to take Vinol, for
in it you get all the curative flesh

dy, cod liver oil, without the nause
ating oil itself, and the weakest
stomach can retain it. Thin people

writes 'VinOl has restored my lost
weight, and | have gained 20 pounds.

stomach, but Ninol made me We'll.

TWO SETS OF DELEGATES.
The Second the Result OF a Rump
Convention.

Washington, May 12.-The Demo-
cratic convention of the District of Co.
lumbia today elected six delegates to
the National convention at st. Louis
They were instructed as to choice
for Presidential and Vice-Presidential
nominees. Every mention of Senator
Germans name was loudly cheered by
the delegates.
Almost at the beginning of the pro-
ceedings of the convention there was
a split following d determined but un-
successful effort on the part of follow
ers of Hon. William r. Hearst to en-
force a certain rule of the election
commission which the chairman stated
had been altered after the recent pri-
maries had been held. The entire
Hearst contingent thereupon bolted
and held a rump convention, at which
six delegates and alternates to the St.
Louis convention were elected and
instructed for Mr. Hearst.
