The coimumnjBiueut eieroUoo of Louisburg College opened with a re cital by the Junior pupils of Mioses Adams, Stanbury and Hall In the de partment of piano, of Miss Petty In voice and of Miss Rent! in expression. First on the program was a quar tet "Awahsnlnff nf thr nii-ftr" render ed by four of the yoiingest pupils, Misses Mary Munden, Virginia Beck, Olivia McKinne and Hattie Williams. These little girls did well and their performance was received with hearty apijjause by the audience. " V? V u; tu u/ Misses Blanche Hatton, Virginia Beck Hattie Williams, Mary Munden, Louise Reavis, Lois Crawley. Goldle Morri sette and Temple Williams. Bach soloist rendered Jier selection entirely from memory and the accu racy and correctness with which these little classics were presented bespeaks careful training on the part of the teachers and faithful work by the pu pils. Two vocal solos held place on the program -1Lullaby Low" sung by Miss Ivolie Hunt and "Wait for the Roses" ? y Miss Elizabeth Kittrell. The ac companiments were played by Miss Ccowell, one of the' piano grad ual^ who also took part in a piano duct with Miss Edyth Guffy. Twa other piano duets were played, a Galop from Hoist by Misses Goldle Morriaette and Lois Guffy; and Plz zacatl from Sylvia by Misses Pauline Eason and Josephine Bandy. Further variety and charm were ad ded to the afternoon's entertainment by the introduction of several humor ens readings. Eugene Field's poem ? "Seeln' Things at Night" was well ren dered by Miss Lucille Jennings. Miss Louise Egerton entertained the com pany by her rendition of "Jimmie Brown's Sister's Wedding." "Uncle WilUe's Cannibals" recited by Miss Pauline Pearson was also greatly ap preciated. The exercises closed with a chorus from Santa Lucia by the Glee Club. At the close of the Junior Recital everyone was Invited to Inspect the art exhibit which was tastefully dls-' played in the library on the first floor. The art class is under the direction of Miss Burdette Joyner. The Art Exhibit has always been an important feature of commencement, but the dis play this year surpasses all former ex hlbits both In number of pieces exhib ited, the variety of subjects and the excellence of the work . The center of the room wr.a occu pied by long tables on which were arranged th^" exhibits of Misses Susie Benton, Margaret Morgan and Alma Scull in Kindergarten work of the Prang Course. A little kitchen made by Miss Scull was especially attrac tive. were played by The work of the two graduates in the department of art, Mlaa Prances Smithwlck and Ellis Credle were es pecially meritorious. A stiudy from nature of the college well with a back ground of blossoming peach treeB made by Miss Credle attracted a good deal of attention. So also did two portraits from life made by the same young lady. These were really re markable portraits for a student so young and with no more experience than Miss Credle has had. Many favorable comments were passed on the large screens painted by Misses Rhoda Winstead, Sara Towe and Frances Smithwlck. A Japanese scene by MIbs Nolle Hunt and an In dian picture by Miss Katherine Pleas ants deserve especial mention. Other pictures which seemed especially to delight the observers were Miss Poy's Windmill, Miss Harwell's Stag; a pas toral scene by Mlsa Qradie Parker and marine pieces by Misses Lola Ouffy and Margaret Ledbetter. Limited time and space forbid that every lnd vidual picture receive particular men tion but there were many others which gave much pleasure to the eyes of the beholders. The climax of the whole exhibit, however was In the large and beauti ful array of hand-painted china. This was arranged to the best advantage and was really wonderful. Especially beautiful wero the pink Bet painfed by Miss Franooa Smith wlck, also one In gold with the initial in gold by the same hand; a breakfast set by Mrs. Stuart Davis; a salad set by Miss Llisle Stuart, a gold Acldetch ed set by Mlsa Waddell; a set done In blue by Miss Stan bury; a breakfast set by Miss Olandora Mardlson; a set striped with blue by Miss Lolp Ouffy and a pink set by Miss Nell Jones, a tea set by Max Allen; and many beau tiful odd pieces besides. Much faithful work was shown in the scrap-books made by the gradu ates Mlsaes Credle and Smithwlck. > These gave some of the greatest ar tists of all Vges with many beautiful copies of their masterpieces, A unique feature or the 1922 Com mencement was the luncheon glvsn by the senior, clean teachers, Misses Lane and Harwell Tuesday afternoon. The luncheon w-a? served at the Franklin Hotel and covers were laid tor twenty nine. The decorations., were snap dragons aadew??t-pea? . ? The Ualutj UniiJ-palntefl plana e?rda In booklet forln on being opened dis closed the program of toasts and the menu. The menu was served In coarBes and was a* follows ; Fruit cocktaiir-ejiery, queen olives, spring chicken broTTSll, uuished potatoes, peas In patties, asparagus on toast, toma toes, hearts of lettuce, and strawber ries. ? Miss Harwell acted as toast mistress Miss Lane proposed a toast to the class of 1922, to which response was made by Miss Sara Towe, class pres ident. Miss Mary. Towe proposed an Im promptu toast to "Our Trial and Trib ulations" responded to by Miss Janie Bolton. In response to the tpaat "Alma Ma ter" proposed by Ml?? Fronrp.i T.eri better, class and teachers sang the college song "Alma Mater." Tuesday overling May sixteenth a tremendous down pour of rain at 7:30 the hour appointed for out of door class day exercises caused a deviation from the published schedule and the annual commencement concert in the college chapel was given first. As opening number .the Glee Club sang a chorus from Dvorak, "The Vil bet." The Glee Clob also rendered the closing number on the program "Merry June" by "Vincent. The voices which were well blended gave distinct pleasure to the large ^audience which had braved the bad wealher In order to be present. A duo "Vaise Caprtcs" playetl -by Misses Julia Daniels and Susie Crow ell was meritorious throughout. An other duo further on in the program Moszowski's "Serenata" was played by Misses Nellie Newbern and Oma Bliss Lewis with delicacy and beauty. | Low's "Brlllante Walzer" also a duo, was rendered In a vigorous and virile style by Misses Sara Towe and Ellis ! Credle. A double duet, vocal, "Merry Zinga rellas" by Misses Maude Ashley, Janle Bolton, Bettle Holden and Willie Pleas ants was especially pleasing. A monologue, "Daisy's Music Prac tice Hour" by Miss Anna Gtay Watson was received with enthusiastic ap plause by - the audience. The piece was originally scheduled for the jun-^ ior concert Saturday afternoon, but as little Miss Watson was ill at that time one of the'nibre advanced pupils ex changed places- with her. Two other humorous readings dur ing the evening afforded much amuse, ment; "Aunt Jane's Visit to the City" by Miss Sara Johnson and "A Chris tian Soldier" by Miss Rhoda Winstead. iThe latter was a monologue of a very bad little boy at Sunday School. A piano duet "Marche-Militaire" was ably presented by Misses Ana Woods and Clara Greene; another "Po lonaise" by Dvorak was played with style and good judgment by Misses Oma Bliss Lewis and Pauline Bason. Miss Josephine Bandy gave a Voice solo "Jean" which was exquisite In tonal quality and vocal control. Miss Lucille Holden contributed an instrumental solo 'ILa Polka de la Reine" with rare finish and artlatlc understanding. The entire program Revealed much excellent work and demonstrated the high standard In music that Loulsburg College Is maintaining among its stu dents. At the close of the concert Mr. Mas sey announced th&t "the first should be last and the last should be flrat" and Invited theaudlenco down to the front of the building to yritnesB the class day exercises which would be presented from the front steps. The exercises were introduced with a torch light procession in which the seniors alternating with their sister Sophomores who each bore a lighted torch marched In two long lines from each side of the building arouild the heart passing each other *t the lower end and back on opposite sides, sing ing all the while the college song "Alma Mater." On their return from the march the Seniors, taking their places on the stepa sang their class song "The class of nineteen twenty-two." Miss Prances Ledbetter welcomed the audience In the salutatory ad dress. After the salutatory the class sang "Just a Song at Parting." The Claas history was read by Miss Janle Bolton; poena by Mis* Ellis Credle; and Class prophecy by Miss Mary Towe. The prophecy and the Illustrations were especially enjoyed. As the prophetess read the future of leach class member an undergraduate student came out on the porch at the rear of the class, costumed to repr?N sent the future thus presented. Ac cording to Miss Towe's prophecy the fnture of the claas Includes every call Ing In life, teachers, doctors, lawyers,' circus riders, waitress!*, scrub wo men, etc. Miss Eugenia Pittman read "The Last Will and Testament of the Claas of 1922." After many humorous be quests to varjous members of the fac ulty and student body Miss Pittman presented the claas gift, a handsome hall suite for the front nail. Miss Oma Bliss Lewis In the vale dictory address officially bade fare well to all in the name of ho class of 1922. The class followed the valedictory with the song "Ooodbye Qlrls." The president of the Senior Class taking off her cap and gown bestowed it upon the Junior class president and (Continued on Page Four) ** A STRANGEB IN HIS DISTRICT" SAYS KB. Uk MIL. Hlf a Speech to (Jalte it Big Nnaifcer *T People Here Monday ? Speaker In troduced bj Mr. W. W Holacs. To a Court House full of people here on Monday at the noon recess of Court Hon. W. M. Person ma.le first speech to our people In hi* Con gressional race against_Hoa.- & W. Pou, the present representative from the fourth Congressional District. The speaker was Introduced Dy Mr. Wiley W. Holmes who characterized him"** one of North Carolina's biggest m<n. Addresslng__hlmi?plf in liln Inmr? an felTow citizen, fellow taxpayer* and visiting candidates from adtota&g counties, Mr. Person entered upon ? speech that was well taken by thoae who heard him from the repeating oW breaks of applause. He said (he question of taztti^n was the greatMt question con!r}ntlng the pejplo of North Carolina, from an economical c.i'i educational standpoint us well as political, tie sa d the laws passed by i le legislature p. .iced the burden up on the land owners in both country and town and beseeched the most careful selection of the men to repre sent the^countles and districts in tie coming 'legislature. He referred to Mr. Pou by stating that "My opponent made the Keynote speech at the Stale Democratic Convention in which he said taxes would be greater and ad vised any man in North Carolina who is not in favor of high taxes to go to the republican party." The speaker said he would not accept the invlta I tlon that he was a Democrat long be ] fore Mr . Pou, that he had nefter ! scratched a ticket and exJJeoted to re Imain a Democrat. He charged that | his opponent was in favor of Cornora I lions. Ttie speaker stated that he | wanted to see every dollar In North [Carolina pay the the same tax by lift ing the burden from the home owifer and placing a part of the tax on the corporations, stocks and bonds. Re ferring to his investigations before [starting his suit against the Tax Com mission lib said he found 4,500 c6r I porations that were almost tax free. ; He read advertisement from the News ! Observer of tax free securities advi^-, ling the purchase before May first t? | escape taxes. "I am not speaking of | this to complain but as a matter of i justice to you" said the speaker. He stated that there was two class jes of people in North Carolina ? the tax payer and the tax spender, and that one man out of every ten was supported by the taxpayers all of the latter being opposed to him because he believed In reducing salaries, and that when a man had served twenty two years in office he had completed his usefulness. He said that his op i ponents holding office bad become a | national joke, and that he was treat? ! ing his office as a private snap rath ler than a public trust. Mr. Person ] said he had been reliably Informed ithat Mr. Pou had put every member I of his family on the public pay roll ] and that he bad educated his four [children at the public expense. He characterized Mr. Pou as a cliff dwelU 'er_ in Washington, a stranger in Ills own district who returns like the prodigal Bon every two yearB to ask for his re-election, after which he is not heard from until a few flower and gar den seeds begin to flow before anoth er campaign. He said Mr. Pou was sollcltbr of the Raleigh district for twelve years before going to Congress making thirty-tour years he has been maintained by the public treasury. "Wb6 stands for Pou'- asked the speak er to answer It in the next voice by saying It was the big Moneyed inter ests, corporations and office holders, who had B#ta "they would beat me It It costs 150,000.00." He said they were better organised than le Ktt Klux. If elected to succeed Mr. Pott he would unmask the extravagance ot the United States. He stated tbat cor porations owned 55 per cent of the property of North Carolina which a mount contributed absolutely nothing to schools, roads and local improve ments. He said there was $500.000, 000 worth of stocks In North Carolina that were on the tax books at $17,000,000. Bringing his Illustrations nearer home he read a letter from the State Audi tor stating that there was ll.OOO.OOO of stock listed for taxation upon which $15,000 tax was levied, while In Frank lin County there was $16,000,000 worth of real and personal property that was assessed $286,000 .00. He stated that the people of North Carolina demanded relief or thera would be rebellion from the rule of the pin headed politicians. Referring to local matters hi' *ald the postofflce at Loulsburg had l'0?n divided Into three parts with l oo's consent and one of the parts was re publican. Referring again to his tax suit he said the people of tho Stat* would watch tho Supreme Court la Its decision of the tax question, and would watch the lower court next week. "No man In Franklin who votes for Kd Pou can ever haw a light to complain of high ta*a?,'* said Mr. Person. Mr. Person concluded his by saying that all who believed In low taxes, equalisation of the burden of taxation and equal rights to ell ' "Id vote for him whether they liked him or no*. His speech was filled vrith bnraOf KENTUCKY FARM EES satisfied! MTTlVfcft FOKMEB PKICE8 Opposition Rapidly Malting Aw wj Were Among The tfuj Presented Th?* Far ni^rs Tuesday by Mr, Mor rill, The meeting of the Tobacco grow ers in the Court House Tuesday at the noon recess of Court, proved to be most interesting and enthhsiastic. Mr. L. V. Merrill, Jr., F*ield Manager for this district for' the Association, af ter being introduced by Representa tive J. B. King, made a most inter esting xaiE to the many present where i in he stated that the Association in Kentucky had met with the greatest I success. He said the Association was selling tobacco for 27 cents average and expected to rajse the price in the near future due to the shortness of the crop. That the farmers received 9 cents a pound average on delivery would receive 9 cents more on May 20th, and still more when the crop was sold. He said that the farmer in Kentucky sold his 1920 crop for an average of 10 1-2 cents which shows the advantage of the Association and that upon the strength of its success 9000 growers had voluntarily joined the Association since the market open ed. He stated that 98 per cent of the | banks in Kentucky were endorsing I Co-operative Marketing. Referring to : Wilson he said the opposition was weakening to such an extent that one of the biggest banks there, headed by some of the biggest tobacco men were I seeking the business of the Associa tion. That the Association had 75 to SO per cent of the Warehousemen of I the State and the Association was j headed with the biggest, soundest and ,best business men in the South. Hf .introduced Mr. E. D. McDowell, a former member of Monk Adams & Co. Tobacco speculators Of Wilson, wiio has gone with the Cooperat've Mar keting. Mr. McDowell stated that he was born a farmer, had lived on the farm until he had found he could .not. make a living on account of not [being treated fairly in the sale of bW I produce and left to enter tobacco bus iness. He had been with the biggest tobacco cortflpdntea , had run warehous es and bad been a member of a big Speculating Companx^_. Jie realized the farmer wag not getting a square deal and saw that the principles of the Associattion were right and he de cided to cast his lot with the farmer as he knew there was no power that could hinder their success. He told his hearers that no wonder the big Warehousemen who had grown enor mously rich at the expense of the far mer didn't want to give up his foun tain of wealth. Mr. W. M. Person responded to an invitation to speak and said that the man who stands in the way of this great movement, whether he be an in dependent warehouseman or' farmer, would hot only be overwhelmed nut would be drowned in the great wave3 of success. He said the farmers now have two trusts ? one in God and on6 in Cooperative Marketing. The meeting was a most enthusias tic one and much enjoyed by all pres ent, and will, no doubt, mean much In the filial drive for a 90 per cent sign up in Franklin County which is now on. XU KM X VISITS LOUSBCBti Quite a lot of excitement was cre ated on the streets of Loulsburg Sat urday night at about 11 o"clock when an automobile containing several men passed through the streets at a rapid pace and was shot at by Messrs . C. rC. Hudson and "J. C. Tucker, the oc cupants returning the Ore. No in Jury or damage was done that has been ascertained. It seems that (be trouble grew out of a car, resembling this one, passed through town earlier i In the night and stopped at Mr. R. W. Hudson's garage grabbing him, putting him in the car and driving off with him. It wan said they were members of the Ku Klux, and the car that was shot at was supposed to be the same car and accupants. Mr. Hudson came back to town a little la ter and' said that he was treated very nice by the party. Another part of the excitement was when Mr. C. T. Hudson, brother of Mr. R. W. Hudson, who was, so we learn on his way to run down the par ty, ran Into an embankment and tree near Mr. J. W. King's while escap ing a car, on his way In town and do in* much damage to his car. Everything quieted down soon after and the town Is quiet after the excite ment. except for the fact that It Is supposed that it was a visit from the K. K. K. KILLS KAULE Information reaching Loulsburfc the pant week says that Mr. J. Peyton Oupton of near Red Bud, killed an eagle on Saturday, May 6th, that meaa ured over seven feet from tip to tip. land wjt properly mtxed to keep his hearers In floe spirts for the hour that he told them of hla effo?is In their bo half and why they should support hira for Connress, and his speech was en joyed by quite a largo number.

Origin Thomrht to Be Incrndlar) _ Possibly one of the largest certainly from the standpoint of 1 time was when the Cheatham Stem mo ry and some adjoining buildings were burned Saturday night, The lire was discovered about*ll:30 o'alock and soon spread to where It was ~f*? poialble to control atflM and mad* It difficult for the fire department with, ell their heroic work and that of many citizens to save the nearby buildtngB. The Stemmery was possibly the larg est wooden wmirf lire in this part of the State. It is estimated that th? loss of the building a ad machinery, which was total, would amount to around 175,000 to $85,000 a. id a lot of toDacco estimated at about 100,000 pounds was lost. In addition the hogshead shfcp and a lot of material was lost. All of thia except the hogs head material was insured. A bis lot of feed that bad been cut on the lot adjoining and which was on the ground for curing was cousumed by the flames. This property belonged to the J. P. Taylor Co., of Henderson. In addition the Allen Machine Go., suffered a damage to building of about $1,500 with insurance of $1,000, and to machinery about $1,000 Insured. Alex McKnight, a blacksmith suf fered a loss ot about $100 with no in surance . The Town of Louisbnrg had a line damage to electric plant of about $500. The Home Telephone Co., lost a piece of cable by melting. Although the fire was one ot the largest we have had and was seen afar off, the firemen and assistants de serve much commendation for their* efforts in saving the spread, whietl would have been fatal, if the flames had been allowed to reach nearby property .
