Prizes For Graham School County
Commencement Day.
Graham Graded School is not al
lowed to compete, with the County
Schools for prizes on County Com
mencement Day, but the loyal citi
zens of Graham did not want to let
the occasion pass without some rec
ognition of our excellent school,
and hence made up some special
prices, as follows;
There were four special prizes of
fered to the grades in the Graham
Graded School Saturday. A W.OO
prize given by some patrons of the
school for the grade which did the
best marching was won by the
Third Grade. A KW.SO prize given
by the Woman's Club for the best
primary drawing: was won by the
Second Grade. A picture given by
Green & McClure for the best
Grammar Grade drawing exhibit
was won by the Fourth Grade. The
second prize for the Grammar
Grades, a dictionary, was won by
the Seventh Grade. The First
Grade was awarded second honor
14 the primary department.
By Way of Apology.
Our readers are interested in every
thing that pertains to Alamance
county and our people. Latelv the
events have come thick and last—
events which place Alamance in the
very forefront of the galaxy of grand
countfes which compose the great
commonwealth of North Carolina.
We wanted to devote more space to
these than we have, but space and
time, both, forbade. For this issue
we had more material than we could
use, but we will take another "shot"
at it next week, even if some of it
shall appear to be "ancient liter
ature."

District Meeting of die Daughters of
the Confederacy. »
The meeting of the 6th District of
United Daughters of the Confed
eracy was held In Graham April
20th, 1916, at the residence of Mrs.
J. A. Long.
The delegates and visitors from
other ' Chapters were as follows:
Mesdames J. T. Lowe, W. 'H. Men
denhall and C. W. Trice of Lexing
ton; Mesdames E. R. Michaux ana
Sterling Jones and Miss Lizzie Lind
say of Greensboro; Mesdames J. W.
Page and Ernest Sellars and Miss
Ruth Thurston of Burlington.
Of special interest were the re
ports from the Chapters compris
ing the District. For the benefit
of absent members of Grahm
Chapter and all who are interested
the report of the Chapter for the
past; year is given for publication,
as follows:
Report of Graham Chapter So. 944.
Immediately after the last Dis
trict Meeting Graham Chapter put
the finishing touches to the mon
ument. The plat was turfed and
other necessary work was done to
complete the decorative effect. The
Daughters viewed the finished
work with pride, and Jusrly so, for
it meant the reward of hard work
and honest effort.
May the 10th, Memorial Day, was
fittingly observed with an ad
dress by Dr. W. 8. Long of' Chapel
Hill and appropriate exercises in
the Court House. Crosses of Hon
or were bestowed on six veterans.
Following these exercise the graves
of soldiers in both cemeteries were
decorated with flowers.
On July 4th the Chapter served
dinner to the veterans of the coun
ty. This dinner is served annually
and is very much enjoyed by all
the veterans.
At the Chautauqua in Burlington
in July, the Chapter gave beautiful
1- >*es to Mrs. Pickett, wife of Gen .
George Pickett, attended her lec
ture In a body and afterwards as
sisted at a reception given her by
the Clubs of Burlington.
Not much actual work was done
in the hot weather but with the
September greeting plana were
launched for more educational ef
forts and it was also decided to
adopt a monthly historical pro
gram. A committee arranged the
programs following to an exttent
the questions prepared by Miss
Rutherford, Historian General on
her address "Wrongs of History
Righted." These programs have
been a source of inspiration thru
the winter months and have kept
up a lively interest in the meet
ings. The attendance haa improved
and the fact that there is some
thing definite to expect each time
has ke t up the interest. The
Chapter truly feels these programs
tiave meant much to us ana we rec
ommend a special History pro
gram to our visitors.
The Chapter is especially Inter
ested in educational work and it
has been our pleasure to aid in the
education of the granddaughter of
an Alamance Confederate veteran.
A prize of $2.50 each for the best
essay on the subjects, "General Lee
in Confederate History" and "Gen
eral Jackson in Confederate His
tory" were offered to the Public
Schools of the county. These prizes
were delivered on Lee-Jackson Day
and at the same time appropriate
exercises were held at the Gradea
School in Graham. Pour pictures of
of Gen. Lee have been presented to
four schools.
The Chapter ha* lost one member
by demit and gained one member.
We have 30 members.
To replenish our treasury during
the year we have given, a Muslcale
and Spelling Match, received part
of the proceed* from Moving Pic
ture Show on one occasion and
lastly have given a Sock Social.
The Chapter has sent $6.00 to the
Soldiers' Home; $S to Shiloh; $lO
to Confederate Home for Women;
SIO.OO to the State Norma 1 Educa
tional Fund; paid taxes; aided vet
erans at Christmas, also needy
daughter of a veteran; sent bos
of apples to Confederate Home for
Women at Christmas; aent flowers
to three funerals and to a sick
daughter while in hospital.
Receipts from Monument Fund
150.00; disbursements for Monument
fund $69.72. Received from other
sources $132.11; disbursements
$111.99.
Respectfully submitted,
MRS. J. DOLPH LONG,

Times announced that with its issue
of this week it would "suspend pub
lication indefinitely," but the editor
hopes to get someone else to take
up the work.
The Times has been all along a
good local paper and the town should
not allow it to stop. No town, these
days, can keep itself before the
world without a newspaper, but
often the people of a town get so ac
customed to having a newsnaper
that they really forget to give it the
support and patronage it must have
to'exist; and tluy forget, too, but for
the newspaper, the rest of the world
would scarcely know the town was
on the map.
The editor, Mr. L. T. Barber, we
suspect, has done tho work and re
ceived little .remuneration for the
time devotsd to the pa|>er, but that
is not t >e reason he is giving it up
