.'I r A PROGRESSrVE NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE UPBUILDING OF AMERICAN HOMES AND AMERICAN INDUSTRIES. }L. V. BURLINGTON. N. C., MAY 28. 1913. m.m ifibers of tbc Gra^aatisg Class; A e are aware of the fact that :: impassibJe task for us with- -.he space of a few minutes to ke perfect men and perfect men out of you. So far as r personal and direct instruc ts and directions go, they are , at an end. If we have made ailure of our directions it is us to mourn our failure, r lives new now to a great :ent lie within your own hands i it is for you to say whether net you shall anrjount to some- ng in this world. It is for : t'j say whether or not you Jl Climb higher or go forward, go downward the way is easy :i requires no effort at all;but to nb higher the way is long, rd and steep and it does reuire ■real deal of energy. A dead f: can go down stream, but it .es a very live one to go up ’earn. Make the application r yourselves. As the plastic ;y in the hands of an artist as- mes a most beautiful figure, vre hope that your lives within ur own hands shall grow :o noble and useful chareters. You have had yoia' -trials and sks in school and they were rd ones too. There were times examinations than you ever had to stand in school here, and if you are to pass these tests you will have to measure up to the mark. You wi51 have to fight to keep the wolf from the door. And as you meet the problems of life you are going to begin to think, and you think ^you aie going to come to the conclusion that those old teachers who re quired the most of you were after all your best friends. We want you to prepare your selves to meet the problems of the world. We want you to con tinue your work of preparation. It is possible for every one of you to go through college. And why not do it? However, if you do not, still there is an avenue by which you may become high ly educated people. If you will keep your eyes and ears open to see and hear those things that ought to be heard and seen; if you will observe those things that are taking place around you each day that ought to be observ ed; if you will read and study good books, magazines and pa pers, then some day you shall be come highly educated men and women and will be of infiuence in the community in 'which you iiive. If you do not do these Ar?est for Stipp&sed Robbery. John Synider of Grahajta was arrested Sunday morning and placed under $^0 bond for his appearance at trial Tuesday in the Mayors Hall at this place for the supposed robbery of J. H. Kirk of Hillsboro. As rumor has it Kirk was looking for blind tiger liquor, meeting a gentle man who introduced him to his friend who told him if he would accompany him he would get him some of the much longed for blind tiger liquor. Mr. Kirk accompanied the unknown gen tleman to the sewing room _ and refused to go any farther sitting down there to await until his friends returned with the “boose/' After awhile his friends pounced on him taking his money $17.50 away from him and not even leaving him a drink of “good boose.” The offence was immediately repor ted to police Patillo who from the descripti on given by Kirk made the above arrest. ^ Program of The Elon College Com- EDiencemeiii, DistiBgiiilsbeJ Speak- erSjjQteresfing Exercises.

With the passage of the recent Underwood tariff bill in the House by a vote of 281 to 13§, the second stage of its legislative consideration commences. In the Senate, the bill will face a greatly different situation from that in the HouseV There is no limitation upon the time which a' Senator may consume in discu ssion of any phase of the bill except the limitation which I Nat\^re puts upon his physical ihe baecalaarate sermon will jj. will therefore be be delivered on Sunday mornmg at 11:30 o'clock by Dr. Warren impossible to shut off Senators who are asking information from fi. pension, Norfolk, Va., jsdiose advocates of the measure by Resolutions Of ^tespect. subject is to be Life’s Great Rule President Harper of the Col lege will deliver the baccalaure ate address that evening, using as his theme Life's Essential.

This means that, while the bill is in the Senate, there will at least be opportunity for the country to become acquaihted with tho. provisions of the bill, even if Senators are not able to arrive at sound conclusion-as to your school life when you were things, then that which you now on the very.point of discourage- -nt; there were times in your nool life when the future seem- . to be dark and gloomy; there -:’e times in your school life .-.cTi your tasks seemed to be : .-I if not quite; insurmount- But something within you Mj to fight on, and you did ,5.na lo-nig'ht you stand con- You have wandered •r ;.ne face of Europe with you have convicted Cata- A irh Cicero, and you have T-'cended to the lowest depths : iiades with Vergil.

A few days ago we were looking over a mag azine and we came upon a picture that struck us forcibly. The pic ture was that of a man who had entered the office of. his employ er. The employer was out and he was gazing at the vacant chair beside the desk. There was writ ten on the face of the man des pair and regret and at the bot tom of the picture these, words;" “I wish I were capable of hold- th0~ cffsct of som© 01* d.11 of On Wednesday morning May jsion.- The meeting of the build-1 these provisions It is hardly to Committee of the Board, be hoped, however, that' the which hp had charge of the erec- Senate debate will elicit much tion 01 tne new gymnasmm, will occur .

Then, lest you some day regret now prepare yourselves for whatever may- come. One of the chief things that discourages so many young peo ple is this: In order to master anything that is worth master ing; in order to attain unto any place of prominence, or anything that is worth attaining unto, there must be a great deal of energy expended and the process of preparation is a long one. But this is a fact too.

The great day of the entire season will be the final day next Wednesday, when the graduat ing class will have its final ex ercises at 10;00 o’clock. At this time fifty two persons will re ceive degrees, diplomas, and certificates, the largest ‘ nuniber to be so honored at any com mencement up to this time. The Art Exhibit will be given able to extract much of it from members of the Finance Commit tee. Present indlQatiori^s .point strongly to the passage of the bill in the Senate without material change of any provision regarded as important by the President and Mr: Underwood. There willl be a considerable number of minor changes, however, depending more or less upon the temper and complacency of the Democratic miembers of the Finance Committee. There is already much private com plaint among these Senators over the refusal of Mr. Under wood and his colleagues on the Ways and Means Committee to adopt certain obvious amend- in the West Dormitory Annex on ; while the bill was in the the afternoon of this day and | jjouse.

The college will be located over the Holt-Cates Co. on the corner of Main and Davis Streets. The building is now being altered and arranged for the eonege, which is in a very convnient location as well.
