The County Commencement,
l^e 'Alamance County Coiiiimence-
ment whicK wa$ held in Grafaam last
Saturday is conceded to be a crown
ing success. What'was clouijed skies
in tte early inormng became clear
ikies in a few hours and the weather
was ideal. The people began early
and kept coming till almost noon.
At 10:30 o’clock the school bell was
rung and the program was started.
Hundreds of bright-faced children
gathered around their respective
tbwiidiip banners and formed into
lines ready for the parade. “Uncle
Saih" and “Aunt Columbia"—Mr.
Coy Williams and Miss Inta Tinnin—
on two large white horses took their
places at the head of the column
and rode with stately dignity, lead
ing the iohg procession down the
street. The Oneida Band in bright
uniform followed first. Then came
the graduates of 1914, with badges
.and colors; next the Tomata Club
Girls and the Corn Club Boys cam*
dressed in uniforms wearing signs
that bespoke clearly the ocupation
that they follow. After these came
the children in school groups, each
group bearing it.s name aloft on a
banner. The procession was long a”, i
beautiful. It inarched to the Court
House and through the large Court
t House aisle from west to east and
back to the school grounds.
A large out-door auditorium had
ijeen buUt on the ochoo! grounds.
Here the people were seated and the
address of the day was made by Mr.
«£tisr
"owe 'entertaining manner. H-e
dealt largely with country life and
its possibilities and told how the
^gountrv is now turising^ to it.": own.
The address was most practical and
was illustrated with a humor that
was greatly enjoyed.
After the address fifty-five gradu-
avas—thirty girls and twenty-five
boy.*>—received certificates. The fol
lowing is a complete list of the grad
uates:

No parr, of the day’s exhibition gave
clearer insight to the real work o/ the
school.^ than the exhibition of school
products. These products lined halls
of the school building and filled sev
eral tables. £ntch school part v/as ar
ranged in a group and each ?r>ecimcin
was fipecially maiked. Special i*ea-
lures were pictures r± s hool houses
and churches and other objects of
local interest The pictures of the
monument en the Alamance Battle
Field and of our President showed
special talent. The panned products
were of the first order. The cooking
and sewing bespoke a splendid I>egin-
r.ing in these useful lines of industrial
trrdning.
Many pictures were mavie during
the day of different scenes and groups
and all rejoiced in the spiendil exhi
bition. Tlie crowning success of the
day is due to the interest ant! cooper

Over 200 Perished.
EccleSi W. Va.» April 28,—Four
miners are known to be dead, 59 w'ere
rescued and many of tliem severely
burned and 203 others are entomb«id
in two burning mines, with small
chance it is feared for their lives, as
the result of an explosion of gas in
Mines Nos. 5 and 6, of the New Kiver
Collieries Company here late today.
The dead and rescued were taken
from mine No. 0 and it is said all but
13 who entered this shaft early to-'
day have been accounted for.
One hundred and ninety of the tm-
tombed men are in shaft No. 5, not a
man having e5caped since the explo
sion. The mine toright was burniag
fiercely, with government, state and
volunteer rescuers working desperate
ly to subdue the Samcs.
The depth of the two main -shafts
is 600 Yeet, and the mines are con-
nc-cted undergrou: d. There are two
other shafts into the mines, but the
explosion totally wrecked three out
of the four. The lone entrance leads,
into Mine No. b’. and by means of it
the rescues were made.
No. 5 Mine apparently ic= complete
ly shut off from the surface and res
cuers hold littl? hope of reaching
the iargs huniber of men in time
to i-ave them.
The ex.plo.'^ior- occurred in Mine No.
5. It believed the explosion travel
ed through into No. (i One shaft of
the latter mine was v/recked, but the
other remains intact and was the sal
vation of at 69 of the work
men. .

rapicljy a.s po.=;sible and each time
i>hiciit*ued aiid burned miners were
hoisted to the surface until men
had been brought up, four of them
dead. The injured were assisted to
learby houses, where physieiai s wait
ed to care for them.
The rescued men expressed doubt
ihat any of the thirteen miners still
in the No. 6 t:haft would be taken out
alive. Some of the men said por
tions of No. 5 mino were badly uTeck-
?d and they believed that the entrance
eonjiccting v.ith No. had been en
tirely destroyed.
Of the bodies recovered two are
Aui?ricar.s, one a foreigners and the
fourth a negi*o. Many of the miners
are Americans.
A United States Government res
cue car reached the mines from Blue-
field W. Va., at 5 o'clock and another
will arrive here from Pittsburgs, Pa„
nt noon tomorrow.
The New River Collieries Company
is connected with the Guggenheim in
terests.
The rescue parties worked through
out the evening. Their combined ef
forts were directed toward Mine No.
5, where the 190 men are entombed.
Notwithstanding the feverish haste
of the rescuers they made little prog*
ress from shaft 6 into shaft e be
cause of the intense heat and gasses.
