entertaining. Gifts from
Class.
FOR MEMORIAL BUILDING.

One of the most interesting and
pleasing commencement exercises
ever held in the history of the Grad
ed School which has reputatioMn
among the High Schools of I'D
Carolina for efficiency was held IN
evening when the spacious auditor
ium was filled to overf1owing to witt
ness the program which was publish
ed in the Times last evening.
Divine Invocation was offered by
Rev. J. e. Stuart Pastor Of the
Christian church, and following thi
came the chorus "Carmens' by the
class.
Then came the splendid address
of Prof. M. C. S. Mobiles of Chapel
Hill. He was introduced by Prof.
Coon, who explained that Mr.. Mob
les was the Dean of the department
of Education at the University and
he would endeavor to make his
speech for him, because he knew
hear the noted educator and gifted
speaker.
The address of Prof. Mobiles was
pleasing in the extreme. He kept
his audience in a roar all the while.
and yet there was nc Effort on his
part to be funny. The witticims were
perfectly natural, and the more in
| teresting because he dealt with hu-
man nature. The children were,
pleased because he talked of the.
goat on the farm, and peculiar ideas
of impressing his opinion upona
others.
/ He won the ladies by telling them of
an instance where he found himself
when boy listening to a conversa-
tion upon the subject of matrimony
a subject which he said would en-
gage the earnest attention of the
young ladies of the graduating class
when they reached the age of those
he was about to describe
| He said it was notable fact that
a woman would never describe the
kind of man she wanted to marry,
| but always the one she would not
marry. In this gathering of ladies'
has been passed around that she
would not marry a man who chewed
tobacco, a widower or a preacher.
A short time afterwards the usual
| invitations were issued to Miss Liz
zie's wedding. and she managed to
get all three in one. His conclusion
was that the supreme court had re-
versed itself, and this was the sub
ject of his address. and thes gfst of it
was at public opinion would reverse
sentiment were stronger than pub
lie opinion and played its part in
the shaping and moulding of public
opinion.
The thought upon which his SUBJ
Ject was originated in a description
of his early home, when his father
so different from some of the faith
ers of the present day were obey
ed and respected by children
was reading his pay one night,
| Gnu iOOhiAS up OVcY us glasses re-
marked, tsThe supre court has re-
versed ITSELF
For years this revoIved in his
mind without knowing what it meant
until Miss Lfzzie's change of front,
and then he knew what his father
meant when he said 1.-The supreme
Court has reversed ITSELF
: From one end of his speech to
the other were apt and witty truism
proving his assertion He closed by
congratulating the Senior class ON
the fine showing it had made, and
tadmonished it to stand by the old
I--orth State with its wonderful pos
sibilities and opportunities, and now
in its initial state of deveIopment
Then came the presentation of the
