fit to his countrymen in facilitating
and commerce. What /
had he to gain when, we'll in middle |

telegraph system which remains to-
day the growing monument of his
sagacity and determination OF great
er riches he had no need; for fame
he never cared That his great ul-
dertaking was philanthropic in the
common meaning of the word, him
self would have been the first to deny,
There was no cautiously reasoned
motive in his endeavor. 1t was no
more or less than the instinct of Il
FESTIVE, rustless mind to utilize the
store of energy within him in con-
sonance with the spirit of progress
which he had breathed into his lungs
from the very air in which he had
lived. And SO he worked on and on,
untiring, overcoming obstacles, sue
ceeding from sheer force of invincibil-
ity and laying down the burden final
ly in the happy consciousness not only
that his work had not been in vain,
but that it had been carried to COM
: pletion by him to whom he had con-
, fided his trust and consigned his OBJ
legation.
Others here are far better qualified
than | to speak of John w. Mackay
in a personal way. / know him only
as a type-a type of what l conceive
to be the best of creative, producing
| Americans. Regarding him as such,
we may we'll inquire why it is that n
| these days, when it has become =
common practice of the unsuccessful
and envious to decry acquisition, if
not indeed achievement, no voice ha;
been raised against this man. The
answer / believe to be plain. John
| w. Mackay had character. He never
| lied or cheated or, under any subtle
pretence of any kind, deprived anoth-
er of what was rightfully his. OF his
generosity and personal kindness
mention need hardly be made. But,
in duty to the youths of today no less
than in justice to the man, too great
emphasis cannot be placed upon the
fact that the bases of John w. Mac
kay's success while living and of his
unsullied reputation, may be summe
up in a single word-recognized in
tegrity.
1t is fitting that this beautiful
memorial should be such as il is, and
that 1t should be here. In honorin,,
such a man this State and UniversIt,
honor themselves. In paying loving
tribute to a memory so well worth
cherishing, wife and son fifty unite
In keeping this dedication free FROM
ostentation not uncommon, those re
, sponsible aptly recognize that sim
plicity which is ever the chief char
acteristic of strength, sincerity ant
truth. We may well believe and re
:, joice in the certainty that upon thi
ceremony, memorable in the annals
of the State and University, memor
able TO those whose hearts are still
knit close to the great heart that ha
; ceased to beat, memorable to all o
us whose privilege it is to participate
there rests today the blessing of thu
manly spirit long since passed away
but never to be forgotten.

The three honor students in order
of their scholarship, were Albert R.
Bishop Blanche Chisholm and Davis
H. Elliott. Mr.. Bishop voluntarily de-
clined the honor of giving the vale
dictory, so that honor went to Miss
Chisholm. Mr.. Elliott gave the sal
utatory. Both the salutatorian and
the valedictorian acquitted themselves
with credit, one pleasing feature of
their addresses being their brevity.
This is mentioned here for the rea-
son that prolixity is crying evil on
occasions of this kind, and hence the
opposite is a welcome innovation.
The class made fine appearance.
They sat in semi-circle ON the
stage, thanked ON their right by Supt
VIM. Angus and the Revs. F. H.
Oehler and J. S. Kingan. At the
rear part of the stage sat the men,
bers of the Board of Education and
the teachers in the high school.
The front part of the stage was a
bower of beauty. The juniors spent
large amount of time in decorating
the hall and their efforts produced a
very pleasing result. In front of
the boxes or either side of the stage
stood young trees with their fresh
spring leaves, while in front of them
were many Towering, and foliage
plants and cut flowers. Suspended
from the proscenium arch was the
class shield composed of the class
colors-old rose and nile green
bearing the figures 'OS and the names
of the class; also the class motto
mon Modo Nobis" done in white and
green. Festoons of the class colors
hung from the ceiling at intervals.
The junior class acted as ushers
and performed their duties faultless-
ly. Sharply at eight o'clock the
piano, at which sat Misses De Meules
and Dahl of the teachers, struck up
march and the seniors led by the
valedictorian marched slowly in sin
gle file down the centre aisle, on to
the stage and took their seats. Each
young lady in the class carried a
fine bunch of roses or carnations
Each young man wore carnation on
his coat label. These five young men
are all members of the Baraca Bible
Class, and were each the recipient
of a dozen fine carnations from the
class.
The program opened with a short
prayer by Rev. J. S. Kingan, after
which the high school chorus, as
sisted by the seniors rendered a vocal
selection "Gondolier Song, Miss De
Meules at the piano, Miss Ackerson
directing. Mr.. Elliott then gave the
salutatory. Following this was a
May Day" song by the seniors. Prof.
+. t. Reed of the Moorhead normal
school then gave the commencement
address.
Mr.. Reed was here last year and
made so fine an impression that an
invitation was extended to him for
this year and he accepted. Mr..
Reeds second appearance, while sat
isfactory, did not quite equal his first.
His subject was "Queen Vicoria" and
he handled it we'll. But the speak
er gave the impression, at least to
some, that he was somewhat embar-
rassed by the fact that it was his
second visit here. The address was
excellent but gave some evidences of
that lack of polish and full working
out that comes only from long con-

TOM WATSON CLUB ORGANIZED
TUESDAY.

The Tom Watson Club Of Frank
lin county was organized at Carnes-
vile last Tuesday.
Hon. Oscar Parker, Of Fairburn, ad-
dressed the gathering, it being inn
possible for Jay W. Forrest, of New
York, national chairman of the Pop
ulist party, to be present.
Mr.. Parker, in splendid address,
set forth the reasons why the voters
of Georgia should cast their ballots
for Tom Watson. He made a great
speech and was followed closely by
his hearers. There was not much ap-
plause, but the speaker was listened
to with the closest attention.
Col. I. g. borough was made chair
man Of the club and w. Fl. Smith Of
Ashland was made secretary. Col.
Borough introduced Mr.. Parker in
short but pointed speech.
After the speaking all who intend
ed to support Mr.. Watson for presi-
dent were invited to enroll their
names on the roster of the club. Num-
bers came forward but it was impos-
sible for all to be accommodated. Sew
