HEAR NORTH CAROLINA'S NEXT GOVERNOR AT THE COURTHOUSE TONIGHT WEATHER Probably fair tonight and Saturday If It'i Newt You'll See It First In The Daily Advance VOL. FIVE ELIZABETH CITY, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 28, 1920 NO. 127 CROWD HEARS 4 DRLIAMS Who Speaks of the Need of Growing Real Men In North Carolina Diplomas And Honor1 Cards Presented a large lating ex - ''Contrary to precedent, crowd attended the graii ercises at tho high school Thursday night. , , Dr. no. ace .u.un.s , ,ue i.mver,c. Jom,s of Kliza belli City became the sity ot .no. in iauM.,1,. mine ine aa- j dress and was introduced ny one or his old boys, J. other University band to welcome many friends win . Wilson. Many fellows were on b in. as well as knew him either directly or indirectly. The exercises opened with two musical numbers and the invocation by Rev. It. II. Willis. Dr. Williams' subject was "Grow ing a Man" and he said in part: "A number of regularly elected members of the New York legis'aure recently were denied ti.ei.' seats not bcause of anything which they had done hut because of opinions which i hey held. They were social ist s. 'in another state in the Union turty four people are in jail who do not know why they are there. "in the Imprisonment of forty-four and in denying of the ousted mem bers of the New York legislature their seats the majority has in each case acted according to what to my mind is the basic principle of social ism: The individual has no right which the social is bound to respect. "And yet the New York legisla tors were unseated because they were socialists. These arse instances that seem to me profoundly significant. The world is in confusion. President Wilson suggests one remedy. Members of Congress suggest another What are we plain people to do when doc tors differ? '"A man some years ago said from the. rostrum at the University that he bad in his pocket an order for ten ten thousand dollar a yiar men. We didn't have them. "One of my old boys came back to Chapel Hill the other day and told me that he needed two six thousand dol lar a vear men. I didn't have them for him. "We have been very busy. We have piled up wealth. We have added to our material prosperity. We have made a wonderful record and one o.f which we have a right to be proud. But t here is a shortage of men. Our State cries for men. 'Give me men to match my mountains, Give nie men to match my plains.' "I am not an alarmist. I am not a pessimist. Hut I ask you if there has been a change for the better in the average type of individual excel lency in the last sixty years. 1 an swer that question in the negative. I want to see an increase, not material, but spiritual. Why havn't we gone forward? Why don't we go forward? "Our churches are largely respon sible. They have largely ceased to function in their biggest duty. They have raised great sums of money. They have not failed to send the Gos-, pel to the heathen. They have been busy on the material side of things, f But they have forgotten us. "We look backward for inspiration to our men of fifty and sixty years ago. Let's grow some more men like we did before the war. "I see about us men of four types. First, there is the factory made man, the man built by a carpenter process. Second there is the cradle type, the man who goes nowhere without a nurse, who cannot act without direc tion. Are you a moral infant and a physical giant? Are you an intellec tual infant and a business giant? Third, there is the type that always looks at the reward. What's in it ' me," is his question. If a man is Miod in order to get to heaven, what's going to happen when he gets h - reward? If that sort of men (nil! I get to heaven, there would be ano' in r theme for a Milton. 'hat is a full grown man? A man Is full crown in proportion as his daily life illustrates truth, goodness, and hca t "North Carolina expects every boy to do his duty." The diploma- were presented by E- P. Aydlett, chairman of the school board. At the close of the graduating ex ercises, the following pupils in the high school who were on the honor roll every month of the past session, received honor cards: Senior Class: Ina Mae LeRoy, Maade Leigh, Elizabeth Kramer, Oracle Davis, Margie Bell Carr, Francis Seylert, George Modlln, Elizabeth Nash, Helen Williams, Junior Class: Claude Ward Sophomore CUm: Anna Belle WOODLEY-JONES Beautiful Marriage In Christ Church Thursday After noon at Five O'Clock A beautiful marriage and one that was of unusual interest to Elizabeth City people on on account k the I prominence of the families of che 1 1,,-jjp an(j Krom ttU8 Holom lized ,.,.

Immediately after the marriage, the bridal pary attended an informal supper at the home of the bride's parents.
