Stringed Instrument Recital.
The audience on Thursday
evening enjoyed unique enter
tainment, one of different kind
from any previously given et COM
mencement season. Miss Couch
has gone beyond the ex-
pectatlons which her splendid
recommendation gave promise of,
and in this concert of stringed in
struments surprised and pleased d
all of Edgefeid. The students who
participated in this program were
Misses Lille May Bailey, Rosalee
Parker, Man Mellett, William
Colvin, Clarence Black and Hoyt
Cook, assisted by Prof. J.F. Entz-
minger on the cornet and Miss
Couch on the piano. Special praise
was bestowed on the soloists, Cadet
Clarence Black and Hoyt Cook.
Art Levee.
The attendance and interest
manifested in the art levee on
Thursday afternoon Twas even
greater than usual. The large
paintings, drawings and beauti-
full array of china painting re-
ceived much favorable and appre-
ciative comment. Mas Eliza Minis
than whom there is no greater
artist in the state, was the central
and foremost figure i'll the studio,
to whom all she praise for tho
growing table of Edge6eld in mat
ters of art must be credited.
School of Expression.

expression under the direction of
Miss Tisdale, gave a play, Gre

Crawford Makes Speech

The Washington correspondent
of the Charlotte Observer re cen
thy sent that paper the following
interesting matter:
One of the best speeches made
in Congress this year by a North
Carolinian was that of Represen-
tative era wford, of the tenth dist
riot, the House being in commi-
ttee of the whole on the state of
the Union and having under con-
sideration the bill making appro-
priations for the Department of
Agriculture for the fiscal year
ending June Both, 1909. Among
other things he said:
1.-THE language proposed to be
stricken out by my amendment
reads as follows:
That no part of this appropria-
ton shall be executed for the rent
or purchase of road-making mach
inery.
Il do not know what influence
of reasoning controlled the COM
mittee on agriculture in placing
this limitation on the appropriat-
ton bill, No preceding Congress
has put such limitation on the
power of the Secretary of agricul-
ture to use the money appropriate
ed for the support and mainten-
ance of the bureau of public roads.
| am at a lost to know what has
over the spirito of the dreams
of this committee. | know there
has been no demand coming from
the farmers and the country peop-
lie generally for this new policy.
| undertook the other day to elicit
from the chairman of the COM
mitiee in his opening speech the
reasons which controlled his COM
mittee in undertaking to impose
this limitation upon the approp-
ration. The information which
the gentleman gave was not sat
isfactory to me, and | am of the
opinion it is not satisfactory to
this House, and | am confident
that it will not be satisfactory to
the agricultural people of this
country. But no doubt those who
are in favor of prohibiting the
of Agriculture and the
director of public roads from
renting or buying mach
ines for the purpose of construct
sections of object-lesson roads
macadam, sand, clay,
or the ordinary dirt road, will say
that they have done it in the
interest and for the beueft
of the farmers, and in their
name they propose to stop educat-
ional work so we'll planned by the
Secretary of Agriculture; in order
to save this splendid scheme with
all of its resulting benfts, they
propose to destroy it. That is the
logic of their contention"
Again:
I'm my judgment, the great
value in constructing sections of
road as object lessons lies in the
fact that it builds road sentiment
and does it more effectually than

called upon the same God for
guidance and direction. To say
that | thank you for your earn
est and efficient work, your
consumate friendship and your
sincere affection the cause for
which | am entirely at a loss to
understand, would be formal
and common indeed; To exp
ress my appreciation of your
real, genuine worth and helpful
ness, | will say that / shall be
ready and willing to serve you
and reciprocate your kindness
though from out our bourn of
time and place the flood may
bear me far"
Members OF the graduating
class, it is with great pleasure
that I present each of you to-
night with a diploma. In doing
so, | bid you remember that
this is your Commencement"
Some of you will continue your
work in other schools. / hope
you all will; but if you do not,
you are in a position to study
for your selves. 1t would grieve
me beyond expression if from
this night you should not contin-
ue to study the best literature
and to make a practical applica-
ton of what you have learned
in the High School. The school
is the workshop w here you get
ready for earnest, conscientious
study, so that you may, work
out your own salvation with
and trembling; for it is God
who worketh in you to will and
to do of his good pleasure"
to know what is right,
is true, what is noble. Be
not negatively good.
Do not do to others what you
would not have others do unto
you; but be positively good.
"As We would that men should
do to you, do We also likewise"
Learn what is right and then
say: II will" Kant says, There
is nothing in the world out of it
Internationally good, a good
will alone excepted" Oh, the
mighty inert force of the human
will. We are never so closely
akin to Jehova as when we can
use our wills in this world for
causes that are factors for good.
In the years to come when
'"Judson' Meminisse invabit,"
remember also that tried to
from day TO day, that
the fear of the Lord is the be-
ginning of wisdom. and that is
of prime Importance that you be
noble and good in the days of
your youth; not the so-called
that winks at evil; but that which
ssues from the heart that has
oeen touched by the sweet and
influence of Gods love
FOR the sinner. Do not SOW your
Wild oats, for if you do, the
chances are that you will never
'eap any thing but sorrow and
disappointment. Comparatively

all the speaking that can be done
by all the employees of the gov
erment unit doomsday. In my
judgement, if Congress adopts
this committee Recommendation
it means the death of the public
road spirit as far as the govern
ment is concerned. and / confess
that | SIN sorry to see it."
Locally speaking declared
Mr.. Crawford. Buncombe and
Mecklenburg counties in North
Carolina have built more maca-
dam road than any other two
counties in the state, and these
counties are at the head of the
list in the way of progress and
enterprise. They did not wait to
become able to build roads, but,
with a large faith in the wisdom
of other people who have invested
in good roads, they built, and
fonnd themselves able while build
ing. 1t is only a question of a
short time when every commun-
ity of these counties will have a
well-graded macadam road to
their respective county towns.
| desire to say that the Depart
ment of Agriculture gave these
counties object lessons in road
building a number of years ago.
In conclusion he said:
II hope to see the day come
when this Department shall be
sufficiently equipped to enable it
to construct sections of road in
every county of every State in
the Union; then the people will
fully appreciate the value of first
class roads, and the problem will
be soled. Thomas Jeffernon said:
"Iti is more remunerative, splen-
did, and noble to spend money in
canals and roads that will build
and promote social intercourse
and commercial facilities than to
expend it in armies and navies.
Il desire to say in this connec-
ton that the farmers have had
less consideration in appropria-
ton than any other class. There
are II, 600, 90 people and directly
and Indirectly connected with
the farm, and the value of their
property, real and personal, is
estimated by the Census Bureau
at $50, 600, 600, 900; and they pro-
81, 600, 600, 900 of farm anG
lumber products last year, and
the balance of trade in favor OF
the United States on account OF
exports of various farm products
was $444, 600, 900! Here lies the
of our prosperity. yet in
the annual appropriations of a
thousand million dollars we are
to this great Department
of Agriculture, which is willing
and capable of putting the farm
ing interests on a higher plane if
fully equipped, the pitiable sum
Of $11, 600, 600, Congress should
be more liberal in it's dealings
with these wealth producers and
nome builders on the farms. It'll
be remembered that in
The millions of farm homes in
his country lies the nation's
security through all the years to
come"
