President Winston, in his address to the graduates, gave a num ber of interestins facts. He said that the graduating class, 52 in number, were the survivors of 250 who had en tered the college four years ago and that the college course was a great test of the capacity and endurance of a boy. The average age of the grad uating class is 22 1-2 zers and , the average age of all the students in the college is 20 1-3 years. He regards this as probably the highest average in the south. Dr. Winston stated that this had been the best year in the college history, that not a death or a serious illness had occurred among the stu dents, teachers or employees, totaling nearly COO. Orations were delivered by three of the 52 graduates, these being C. L. Garner, of Beaufort; J. E. Tur lington, of Johnston county, and W. B. Truitt.

Your correspondent furnishes the Memphis Commercial-Appeal, the great paper of the 'Mississippi valley with cotton reports covering North Carolina each week.

Strong" mineral medicines iike mercury and potash are often given to cure Conta gious Blood Poison, but years of failure have proven that such treatment cannot cure the trouble. These medicines can only mask or shut the disease up in the system for awhile; as soon as they are left oft the symptoms return in all their hideousuess, and the sufferer finds he has wasted valuable time, and, in addition, ruined his health with these harmful drugs. S. S. S. is the antidote for Contagious Blood Poison the only remedy that is able to get at the root of the disease and force out every particle of the poison, so that there are never any signs of its" return.

Sufferers from this disease can be their own doctors, and the forty years of cures made by this remedy assures them that the treatment is in every respect' the proper one, and that its use, together with any suggestions as to local treatment, which will be furnished by our physicians free of charge, will cure the trouble perma nently and privately.

Voting, coloied, of this city, and contaiued much excellent advice to the members of the colored race. Thi' speaker said among other things: "The- negro's prestige in the south is greater than anywhere else on earth. The thing for us to do as a race is to make good the opportunity and let down our buckets where we are. Go North and see who you will find laying bricks on the so-ca'.led skyscraping building, will you see colored men? Never; will you find them in the west? No. But look 'arounj in this beauti ful south and what dj you see? You will see negro i&sn laying brick on the finest buildings in the south. The ne gro's greatest privilege is in the south, because his best friends are in the south I repeat that the truest friend the negroes have in this coun try is in the south. 'Our privileges in thn south are the greatest for several reasons. One is because here we haw every oppor- tunity to till the sOi''. and even work on the public works uTd make money, whereas at the north .n the cheap res taurants, saloons, tliatres, and other places of amusemeat you have the privilege only to spend what you have made.

Evils of South Carolina Marriage Law The unrestricted marriage laws of South Carolina have resulted in blight ing the hopes of huudreds of parents in North Carolina who have seen the opportunities of life closed to a son or daughter, who at an early age, under a c razewhich they called "love," hur ried to South Carolina and got married when they knew no more about the re sponsibilities of married life than six-months-old yearling. Our Home. Now that the National Civic Federa tion has united in a child labor com mission, representatives of the govern ment, the American Federation of La bor, the manufacturers and the wom en's clubs, we expect to see practical results such as sectional sensational ists could never have rchieved.

Iieef prices may soar unless the "beef trust" recalls the announcement that payment on certain live stoci: purchases will be dfiayed til' after the movement for a postmortem examina tion. Packers have notified the ecni mfssion firms that beginning today they will no longer stand the loss on condemned catt?e. The commission men promptly advised their customers to withhold shipment of cattle till the difficulty is adjusted and this action it is expected will result in a big short age of the meat supply before the veek ends.
