) LOUISBURG COLLEGE.
MANY YOUNG LADIES PRESENT
* ON OPENING DAT
This Institution Calibrated the
Opening of lis* 126th Session
On bast Wednesday Morning:
With Suitable Ceremonies.
Loulsburg College began its one hundred
and twenty sixth year Wednesday
morning, under most auspicious circumstances.
On almost every train
since Friday, girls have 'been coining
in and when they assembled for the
opening, quite the largest number that
lias eyer been known to begin with,
were present.
Rev. A J. Parker, and Mr. F. B.
McKinne, were present to represent
the trustees. Mr. Parker, after a few
happy well chosen words of greeting
ssked fo. impromptu words of welcome
from Rev. R. W. Bailey, pastor of the
Methodist church, from Rev. L. W.
Swope, pastor of the Baptist church,
from Rev W. C Barrett, and Prof.
Wilson, of Durham; all of whom made
most excellent speeches, foil of wit
and humor, login and sense. Mr.
Bailey was especially pleasing in hiB
remarks to the yotgig. ladies; telling
them how, when ha was a boy and
had to help provide the fuel for tbe
winters Area, the continued lifting of
the wood on his'shoulder Anally became
painful, and how to prevent the irritation
and make the work eaaier, his
- mother made a soft cotton pad for him
to wear on bis shoulder. So he promised
the girls that if there should be
friction between them and the faculty
and they should inform him of the
fact, be would endeavor to provide a
pad to relieve the situation. ?
Mr. Swope told the girls that he did
not approve of Mtp. Bailey's remedy
for relieving her son's trouble, but
though if she had only lubricated his
shoulder with a good sized dose of
. hickory oil it might have Droved more
v. efficacious. Doubtless the young ladiea
more heartily inclined to the remedy
of Mrs. Bailey and Mr. Bailey may find
himself provided with a much larger
task than he anticipated.
The regular work of .organization
was gone into and every energy is being
bent, towards getting the organization
completed and |he years work entirely
underway at once.

W. C. Barrett, of Durham, will

meets with the approval of his many

show-going public are ever wanting
something new or some new departure

Haag Shows, this season will inaugurate
one grand amusement feast combining
Circus, Hippodrome Wild West,
and Far East, together with an army of
clowns, making more varied amusement
under one tent for one price than ever
attempted by any amusement purveyor.
On Sept. 18 The Mighty Haag Shows
will exhibit at Louisburg.
SIMMONS RANKS NEXT.

Retirement of Bailey Would
Mean Mueh to North Carolina
Senator.
Washington, D. C., 8-pt. 6,?Should
the Senate become Democratic in 191i.
Senator F. M. Simmons, of North Carolina,
will be chairman of the most I
powerful committee in the Senate, the
Committee on Finance. This was made
certain when the news was received
here today that Senator Toseph W.
Bailey would not again be a candidate
for the United Statee Senate.
With Bailey out, Mr. Simmons is
now the ranking Democrat of the committee
and upon the ground of seniority,
will be the chairman. But seniority is
not {he only asset Senator Simmons
baa. He is considered one of the brightset,
brainiest and fairest man in that
august body and there is not the slightest
doubt about the senior Senator
landing the Job, if the Senate has a
majority in 1912 and everybody believes
they will.
