Is what 5 cents will purchase If you
will call for a Episure. But It isn't
the quanity alone that makes ■ it
worth more than the price.
There is also a quality that Is be
yond criticism. A flavor that couldn't
. be imjroved upon if you paid twice
the price of the Episure. Treat your
self to a Episure and a good smoke.

been running out there, the number in
attendance would have been counted
by the thousands.
The first thing on the program was
a violin selection, faultlessly rendered
by Miss Dansb>, accompanied by Miss
Hooge on the piano.
The next to follow was the Intro
duction of the distinguished annual
orator by President W. I. Thames.
He stated the gentleman, President J.
C. Hardy, of the A. & M. College, be
gan life In Newton County. Twenty
years ago a young man began teach
ing in the schools of Newton County
to procure the education he needed for
this work, he worked all day .and
studied at night. He tauight school
during the summer months and went
to school during the winter. Hq An
ally graduated with honors and secured
a school at Carrollton, Miss.- From
there he went to Jackson and was
made city superintendent of the pub
lic schools. Anally being selected as
president of the A. & M. College at
Starkville, * in which posttton such
men as Gen. S. D. Lee and John M.
Stone had served. He had wrought
for good and by the magic of his In
fluence he had accomplished great
things. He said "I now introduce a
man, a Christian man, a perfect gen
tleman and a scholar."
Prof. Hardy thanked Prof. Thames
for his neat introduction and spoke
for about an hour, holding the closest
attention of his audience from his first
to his last word.
President Hardy said, he had heard
much of -the wonderful growth of
South Mississippi College and al
though his own commencement was
dose at hand, he determined to see
this splendid Institution for himself

found that the place had grown so !
much that he hardly knew it or him
Belf. He paid a glowing tribute to
the Magic City of Hattiesburg.
He said that this wonderful college
had sprung up In nearly a day to bless
the wolld. He took for his subject:
"Aim and- Power, the Two Factors
of Life."
He said that his cubject, properly
adjusted, were the two halves of, life.
There must be aim; there must be
purpose.
■The aim must be In a certain di
rection—the purpose- nust* lft V good
one. Dr. Holmes had said "it Is not
where you are, it's where you are go
ing." He referred to the bright and
pretty faces in the audience. But the
ugliest boj* or girl in the country if
going In the right direction, would be
come beautiful. Faces should be
turned toward truth, righteousness
and honor.
If a young man started out to court
(wo girls at the same time, his aun
was not definite. He cannot win An
nie Smith by courting Nellie Jones.
He paid a high compliment to the
young ladies. He said that It was a
sad condition that sixteen girls to
one boy were being educated. He slat
ed this as a fact. Turning to Prof.
Thames he asked, "How many grad
uates have you this session?"
"Five," replied Prof. Thames.
"H^w many young men In the
class?"
"One," replied Prof Thames.
"Well, that Is better than usual," re
plied the speaker.
The speaker said it was open secret
that girls sometimes thought of mar
riage. He expected some in the audi
ence thought of sweethearts some
times. These girls should have edu
cated men for husbands. He believed
in the old-fashioned Idea of the hus
band being the'head o^ the house.
Have an aim—be sure you have an
aim, but don't aim too high. Every
body cannot be a president or a gov
ernor. Make the aim according to
your ability, but make It high enough
to require all your energy in accom
plishment. Power can't be trans
formed, but it can bq adjusted and
the adjustment must be between the
thing desired and thing tuat con be
achieved. Let your tims be such as
you can and will accomplish. Aim to

there are two—getting and giving. He
spoke of the pleasure of giving. He
said some people would declare "the
world owes me a living and I am going
to have it." The world did not owe
him anything—he owed the world to
make of himself the best man possi
ble.
Prof. Hardj 4 ,heartily endorsed all
methods of forestry preservation; that
it was a duty people owed to future
posterity. ' .
The greatest men of all are the
servants of all. Not the big pay roll,
but he who is serving all. The Mas
ter, at the last supper, bathed his dis
ciples feet and this was to show them
trat He was the servant of all.
He spoke of piany other important
matters and said he hoped the day
would soon dawn when every twelfth
white man and woman could read
and write. He did believe in evolution
as held by some. He did not believe
man evoluted from tadpoles. God
never created man in this way, but he
believed in evoluting the best that was
in us. The acorn evoluted to a giant
tree, the grain of corn to the full
grown stalk, the cotton seed to the
cotton stalk; boyB and girls to noble
manhood and womanhood. Be the best
and all for God.
Prof. Hardy was greeted with a
great deal of applause. It was a great
speech that fell from the lips of a
great orator.

The Banquet.
After the conclusion of Prof. Hardv's
speech, the alumni of the college and
a few invited guests repaired to the
Hotel Hattiesburg where the ban
quetters v^ere entertained with a violin
solo by Miss Dansby, accompanied on
the piano by Miss Hooge.
A pretty song was sung by Miss
Hyde.
A six-course luncheon then followed
after which the toasts, all good, were
had, Herbert Glllis being tqpst master:
