Literary Address Before Sum-
mer Schools Students

MACON, August 3d. Twenty
one students were graduated from
the Mercer university summer school
Friday night, DR.. Rufus w. Weaver,
president OF the university, deliver
ing the literary address.
DR.. Weaver reviewed incidents OF
the past rs years and admonished
the graduates to watch for ever
more important changes in the next
Is than ever before. "To my
thinking" he said, ''the most signifi-
cant change has been the disappear
ance of the open saloon, the livery
stable and the odors which charac-
terize these two institutions.
"a generation is coming on that
has never seen a saloon. l have
travelled this month over 1000
miles and | did not see anywhere q
drunken man. Twenty-Five years
ago l could not have gone down
the street without witnessing this
spectacle. A finer social spirit
characterizes our day.
1t will be more difficult for you
TO make a success of life than il
was for the men and women who
graduated 25 years ago. The con
test will be harder, the competition
more intense and the rewards OF
success more remote call yor
to hard and unremitting labor" he
added.
