Those who [heard Mies Russo, feel confident that she is destined to become recognized as one of the World's groat singers. Sunday night, April 27, we were most fortunate in having to preach the ser mon to the high school graduates, Dr. A. Paul Bagby, pastor of Wake Forest curch.

State College Starting his second game in three days against the Tar Heels, on last Monday, Captain Jimmle Allen went the route without relief. He gave up a brace of blow's in the first inning and two in the ninth, but in between these frames the Louisburg boy wa; steady and refused to allow the Tar Heels any openings. State College won by the score of 7 to 2, thereby winning the champion ship of the State. They have a record this year to be proud of, having lost only one College game In the State, that being the first game with the strong Trinity College team. They play their last game of the sea son with Wake Forest College at Wake Forest Saturday, and no doubt a large number of our fans will journey over to see the game.

Before an au dience of approximately one hundred and fifty people in the county court house in Nashville, Ex-Senator Willie M. Person, of Louisburg and who as pires to the seat of Congressman Ed ward W. Pou, of this the fourth Con gressional district, spoke about thirty, five minutes on the question. "The Damnation of Taxation." the speak er was introduced by J. W. Keel. Esq.' prominent member of the Roclty Mount bar and while Mr. Keel did not make any attempt at elo quence. he spoke very complimentary of the gentleman who he was to pre. sent as the speaker of the occasion. In the outset of the speech Sena tor Person referred to the close re lations existing between his county of Franklin and N'ash; that the peo_ pie generally were very much alike, oven at times their breath Lad 1o same aroma, however those days were rapidly growing extinct. He deplored the fact that the audience was small, this he a 'ributed to the fact that just at the hour the Sheriff of the County was sur rounded by a large crowd of men In front of the court house where more th. n eleven hundred parcels of land In Nash were being sold for tax es. The same condition said the speak er, were more or less the same in various other counties of the state and. unless there was some means provided or some other system to take the place o fplllng up taxes on 'the property owners they had fee come Intolerable, he had dread fore bodings of what the fntare held tn store.
