this excellent school had opened on
Thursday night with a concert, of a
enjoyable nature, and at which
we learned the participants acquitted
themselves in a manner most credit-
able.
When the speaker's party had
rived within two miles of Grifton it
was met by a cavalcade of strong,
also a carriage Prof. James
and his faculty, and several buggies
occupied by gentlemen and ladies.
Mr. E. S. rode to the
front and in behalf of the school and
the people of Grifton welcomed Go v.
Jarvis to the His remarks
were appropriate, and
highly complimentary to our
townsman. The line of
march was formed, the cavalcade act-
as escort to and through the
town to the academy where a vast
concourse of people from several
rounding counties had assembled.
Arriving at the academy lawn the
pupils were seen standing in line on
each side of the approach and as
Gov. Jarvis was escorted through the
pathway before him was with

He referred to the record of
Gov. Jarvis, his administration as
Governor of our State, his career as
representative of our nation at a
foreign court, and his walk as a
citizen among us, speaking
bis whole life that of a man which
could be pointed at with pride.
After some preliminary remarks in
which Gov. Jarvis expressed his

and welcome to Grifton, and
returned thanks for the kind intro-
given him before the

would like to make lengthy comment
upon his speech, bat time and space
forbid at this writing. Our readers
generally know what an earnest ad-
of education Gov. Jarvis is,
and what a staunch friend he is to
the schools, especially the public
schools. The greater part of his
speech was taken up in showing the
need of more schools and better
schools. He said with the assistance
of the County Superintendent he had
the day before searched some records
in the Court House and he was going
to give the audience some of the
figures he had found. There are in
county white children of
the school ace. Of this number not
to exceed attended private
schools which left dependent
upon the public schools of the county
tor what education they get And
he wanted to bring out a point here
for the Farmers The
schools were located chiefly in
the towns so that children living in
the towns had the benefit of them,
and the children of the farmers living
out in the rural districts were the
ones mainly dependent upon the
public schools. This being so, the
more than any other class,
should be in favor of more and bet-
public schools. He had nothing
to say against private schools and
wished a good one was located in
every hamlet in the State.
Now he to go a little fur-
with his figures and show one
way in which there could be better
schools. There were also in the
county colored children of the
school age, which added to the whites

here was less whiskey. How much
do you suppose is spent Tor whiskey
in a year in Pitt county He then
told of how he had looked over some
other records in the Court House to
ascertain this, and he read out the
name of every dealer in the county
who had given in his liquor
chases for the six months ending
January 1st and the amount each
returned, the whole being summed
up at over paid
by the dealers in six months, which
doubled makes for the year.
It is sale to say that the dealers who
pay that for the whiskey they
bring here sell it for at least twice as
much as they give for it, so it can be
said that the people of county
pay as much as annually for
the whiskey they drink. Think of
this spent for whiskey for every
spent for public schools In Pitt
county What a change it would
make in our schools if people would
stop throwing away money for
whiskey, something that brings them
and degradation, and would
use it educating their children
and bringing happiness and pros-
to their homes.
At the close of his speech Dr. P.
B. arose in behalf of the
school and the citizens of Grifton,
and thanked Gov. Jarvis in
and poetic words for his able ad-
dress.
After the
were made for the remainder of
day, and an elegant dinner was
spread on a long table prepared on
the Academy lawn. The dinner was
bounteous and no one was turned
away empty.
At p. ii. a musical entertain-
was given by the pupils of the
school, in which a number of de-
vocal and instrumental
were rendered.
At o'clock a base ball game was
called between the Greenville and
Grifton boys, but the latter were by
no means a match for the former and
the game closed with the third in-
when the score stood to
in favor of Greenville-
It was not our pleasure to remain
to the evening concert, but those who
did remain, as well as many of those
who went down from here on the
o'clock train, told us it was one of
the best they had ever attended. In
fact the whole commencement was a
perfect success and did credit to the
principal and faculty and also to the
school.
Grifton is a prosperous little. town
and there are some of the best people
down there that can be found in all
our land. They give all comers a
hearty welcome and make their stay
pleasant. A strong point with those
people is their deep interest in
cation. They have a handsome
academy building and furnished it
well. We that during the
commencement exercises several of
the business were closed up
so that proprietor and clerk, might
attend.
Later the will have
more to say about Grifton and the
business of the town. Enough to
say this time that our brief stay was
crowded with much enjoyment

White's Sunday School Picnic.
The sixth anniversary of White's
Sunday School was celebrated
Friday by a picnic occasion. Early
in the morning buggies and wagons
began rolling in from different
and by noon a large crowd of
handsome men and -pretty women
had assembled themselves together
in Mrs. Caroline beautiful,
refreshing, shady grove, the scene of
the occasion. Shortly after o'clock
Mr. White announced that after a
selection from the choir, the exercise
would be opened by Mr. O. L. Joy-
who would deliver the
of the community since the
organization of the school. Mr.
Joyner spoke about twenty minutes,
drawing a contrast between the past
and present, and showing the good
that had been accomplished through
the school work.
After another song the Rev. R. F.
Taylor addressed the audience on the
necessity of Sunday Schools in every
community. Els talk was very en-
to all school workers and
very much appreciated.
Rev. A. D. Hunter next came for-
ward and in plain yet forcible
style characteristic only to himself,
gave us a most excellent lecture. Mr.
Hunter said that if every community
in our county had such a Sunday
school as this one, our court of
would be shorter in session, the
jail doors might be thrown open and
the state penitentiary would know
us less in the number of our convicts.
Mr. White then made a talk on the
school, spoke of and his
present in that community, of some
of the discouragements with which
he had contended and of the en-
that had strengthened
him. He truly is in love with
people.
The public speaking part of the
program being finished we were next
invited to the table where all feasted
sumptuously to their appetite's
deepest content. Then the remainder
of the day was devoted to private
playing and as water
was inconvenient for the horses some
took partners and to ride among
the neighboring streams where the
thirst of the horses could be quench-

Sixth Annual
Last Wednesday was a most

commencement of Greenville
tote, and the people took advantage
of the weather to turn out in large
numbers. The Opera House, at
which place the annual address was
delivered, was filled with s large and
intelligent audience to bear Henry
Blount.
The orator was introduced by our
young townsman, Mr. F. C. Harding,
a former pupil of the Institute, who

The Reflector will not begin
to try to follow through his ad-
dross, as such an effort would be
possible on our part as well as fail
to do him justice. At times the
speaker grew purely eloquent and
soared into such flights of fancy as
to lift the imagination of his hearers
above the sordid things of earth to
bask amid the harmonious colors of
the rainbow or wander with
through some Eden of bliss. At no
time was he more eloquent than
when paying a tribute to woman. It

seems to admire more than another
is a perfect type of pure, noble
woman, and some of the specimens
before him on this occasion inspired
him with greater fervor and devotion
and helped him to paint the picture

stances that he related in speaking
of woman's worth and devotion to
duty brought rounds of applause
from the audience.

and it became the principal amusement
of the neighbors to see the doctor speed-

favor. It was Mrs. opinion that
the doctor would need a long winded
horse and a good goer for the flourishing
practice she anticipated for him through

and many outlying places, where there
were believers in the little pill theory
who would yet rise up and call him

The scattering calls the doctor re-

whole house palpitate with sympathetic
excitement. If the sharp, snappy little
door bell rang at meal time they all
started and looked at the young man at
