During the high state of enthusi-
asm incident to a foot race and
basket ball both being pulled off at
the same time, a section of the
elevated seats gave way with a por-
tion OF the audience on the west
side Of the park. causing good
deal of alarm and excitement for a
few minutes. Fortunately, and re-
markable to state, the only harm to
any one aside from the fright, was
the bruising Of foot sustained by
Miss Boyd Mackenzie, one Of the
young lady teachers of the county.
During the fall some man in the
audience got suspended on piece
Of scantling which caught in a
strong pair of trousers he had
bought at McGraths, which would
not tear, and he was suspended for
several seconds in the air, exposing
some of the witnesses said, a pint
flask of whiskey in his hip pocket.
and others pistol, which he
sought in vain to hide from view
during his embarrassing predica-
ment.
It is worthy Of gratifying mem
tion in this connection, that though
this was one of the largest crowds
ever seen in Brookhaven, there was
never one here at any time that
was more sober, good humored or
eIl-behayed. Two Leader report
|ers who were on the grounds the
whole day never observed one sin
gle individual under the influence
of liquor or guilty Of any disorder
" or unbecoming conduct.
The annual graduating exercises
took place at Heuck's Opera House
last night in the presence Of q
large and interested audience, rep
resenting every section Of the coun-
ty, with the program under the
direction of Supt. Claude Bennett.
The audience WAS treated to an
artistic piano solo by Miss Annie
Blue and delightful vocal solo by
Miss Olive Lipscomb.
DR.. /. w. Cooper, president Of
Whitworth College, was then intro
duced and delivered the annual adj
dress. DR.. Cooper in opening paid
a warm and deserved tribute to the
wonderful educational development
and progress Of Lincoln county
which he rightly credited mainly to
former Supt. Edgar Green. Supt.
Claude Bennett, Prof. T. r Scott,
Prot, Al. B. Schauber and the corps
Of able and faithful teachers who
have seconded their efforts. The
address, as was to be expected, was
ali able and scholarly effort, the
main thought stressed through it
all being that knowledge, education

vain and worse than vain unless
fortified and sustained BY the
leaven Of Christianity and the
sound morality Of the decalogue.
