Literary Address to Largest Graduating
Class in History of Normal;
Senior Play Aids Loan Fund
Marking the close of the 25th
year of the Appalachian State Normal
College. Judge Thomas C.
Bowie of West Jefferson delivered a
"trong address at 'he commencement
exercises en last Friday when almost i
100 students received diplomas?the'
largest ciass in the history of the in- i
stituticn. A few of those included
in this number were forced to aban-1
don their school Work on account of ;
illness and their diplomas will be
presented at the end of the summer
term.
The subicet of the fnrmnr .
address was "Contribution of the
i Hebrew Race." In a brief but im-j
pressive manner he reviewed the vise
and fall of the more powerful of the !
j ancient governments and the subse-1
j quent loss of their influence. Ho J
| attributed the loss of their power to j
moral decadence, brought about by!
heathen religions, while the lasting!
| influence of the Hebrew nation was I
I cited as a result of the worship of j
| the true Cod. In closing he warned i
! his hearers against the danger of j
i those conditions which would tend to j
bring about a Weakening of our gen- j
eral moral fabric.
On Thursday evening preceding j
the commencement the seniors pro- j
vided the cast for a splendid play.?
A largo audience was present and a j
goodly sum for the student loan fund .
was realized from this, the only |
event of the college year fof which
an admission fee is charged.

IS WHAT IT CAN ]
By SMITH II AG A MAN, Com
We had last year 4,005 cows.
We ought to have 1,000 more.
This would add ?8-1,000 of
wealth in milk production. We
had 1.605 other cattle. We ought
to have at least 4*605 more. This
would add ?115,000 through the
sale of beef and stock cattle each
year. This is only 800 more than
ut- ii?u 3cVcn ysar;
We had last year 9,014 sheep.
We ought to have had 20,000.
This would add in sale of lambs
about ?80,000, plus additional
wool, about ?25,000.
This additional income from
cattle and sheep could easily be
?.*>00,000 annually for the county.
This alone would nut the comitv

Spainhours' Declare
Opening Successful
Perhaps the largest crowd ever
assembled in Boone for the opening
ot a mercanule establishment was in
Boone last Friday and Saturday
when Spainhours', Incorporated;
opened the doors of their fine new
store in the Horton building and
were hosts to visitors from oyer this
entire section of the state. A number
of young iudics of the town assisted
the management in entertaining
the visitors and a desk was provided
near the entrance, where the
guests were registered, after which
they were shown through the fine
establishment-?the main floor, the
ready-to-wear department on the
mezzanine and then to the attractive
furniture department in the basement
which is operated by the
Rhodes-Day Company. There, when
the tour of inspection was ended, roirc.->initeivc
were served and a ireucral
good time enjoyed.
On the main floor extra sales people
were employed, including an expert.
shoe stylist, while three factory
representatives were with the furni
lulv department ler tnfc occasion.
The stove V. as open until late at
night both liavN i-.i.-! Manager R. K
51'inade, from Hie records available,
deduces thatscarcely * - than t-.rr
thousand people came to inspect the
modern new store. They were two
reel letter days in tiie history of
Spainhours' and the management is
delighted with the whole-hearted
spirit shown during the opening,
the attendance and the amount of
business transacted having been
beyond expectations.

MR. THOMAS SELLS FARM
The Bel Air Times of Bel Aire,
Md., has this to say of our friend
and former county man, \V. N.
Thomas, Esq., who recently soid cut
then.- at.u idnte to Mountain City,
Tenn.. and located temporarily. This
only expresses the sentiment of all
our peoplpe who knew and admired
the splendid citizen before his leaving
for Maryland several years ago:
"Tilley Bros, and Irwin and Grayheal,
real estate dealers, report the
sale of the 154-acre farm of Mr.
wniiam in. inonias on me oynuwingo
Road, near Hickory, known as
the "Giu ?rritor. property" to
Charles H. Harrell and W. SI. Kinzie
of Patrick county, Va.. for the
sum of $21,000, this price including
II stock and farming implements.
The purchaser will take possession
about October 1st.
"Mr. Thomas, since coming here
{rom the south, has developed this
farm into one of the best paying
agricultural propositions in the county,
and it is frequently pointed to as
one of the prize farms of Hartford,
and a deal of credit is due to Mr.
Thomas for bringing it up to its present
shape. Mr. Thomas- is one of
Harford's most prominent citizens,
and probably no man in the community
has endeared himself to his
neighbors more than he for his
square dealing, unassuming manner,
and ior his interest in the
nity. Some years ago he was
ehosen by the Republican party as
a candidate for county commissioner,
and although defeated, made s
most excellen race."

1 You say this is too high. Not
at all. This would be only getting
i us back to what we were in cattle
production. Of course this will

but not more than we ought to
have. We have nlentv of feed I

! BREAK BETWEEN PRESIDENT
AN DEISHOP CANNON SEEN
Washington. May 1J.? Bishop
James Cannon, Jr., particular antithesis
of Governor Smith during the
last presidential Campaign and chairman
of the board of temperance of
the Methodist Episcopal church.
" SGuthr it :r.a';is5 toward a break,
with President Hoover. Washington,
tibcr* - nut believe that
i the president is going to name a
] law enforcement commission that
iWin be satisfactory Bishop Can!
hon and to other militant drys.
i For example, it is not believed
i that the president, has any intention
I of naming Mrs. Willebrandt nor that
he will include in the personnel of
the commission any person who has
! been connected actively with wet or
dry organizations, just the course
favored by Bishop Cannon.
The bishop does not think so well
i of the proposal to have George W.
j Wickersham serve on the commission.
In view of press reports that Mr.
; Wickersham would probably be apj
pointed as a member of the prop^s-^
, ed law enforcement commission and
of the further fact that Mr. Wickersham
had expressed open criticism
[ of the Jones law in an address at
j Williamsburg, Va., Bishop Cannon
\ was asked his opinion concerning
: Mr. Wickersham's appointment, and
! also concerning the scope of the
work and the personnel of the procd
m. While the bishop
i declined to make any .specific com'
ment upon the proposed appointment
i pi/Mr. Wickersham, he did make the
j following general statement:
; "I am certainly in most hearty
I agreement with the presidents that
viie aununistrauon 01 justice in our
country needs tonin? xnv including
jury service and court procedure.
Furthermore, I think the president
threw into the scrap heap where it
properly belonged much loose and
blameless assertion when he declared
i that the present day lavvl cSSuCSS - IS
j ool fairly attributable in the adopi
tion of the 18th amendment. Any
proper study of conditions will show
tha for he ias 40 years here has
been a steady increase in general
lawlessness, arising largely from
laxity in the administration of justice?court
delay technicalities, continued
appeals and new trials, and
especially the difficulty of securing
convictions. . . .
"While in fullest sympathy with
the broader purpose of thg president
to secure betterment in all the
. activities of the department of justice,
I think that the country has understood
that there will be special investigation,
consideration and rec
ommendations concerning the efficient
enforcement of the 18 th
amendment and the wisest course to
| follow to secure the best results. I
; adhere to the view expressed in my
i cablegram from Cairo that at least
one member of the commission
! should be recognized a? thoroughly
i conversant with every phase of the
> j development of the prohibition
j movement for the past 25 years. I
