' VESUVIUS LAVA GOES ONWARD TO POMPELI Naples, June 4.?-Two walls of molten lava six feet high tonight streamed from Vesuvius toward its ancient -prey Pompeii, destroying ' woods and vineyards and threatening several towns. The inhabitants had evacuated d Barre and part of Terzigr.o and fled ^ panic stricken burdened by their household and personal effects to the Gulf of Naples. The glowing iifinifl rrirt fnniirht wnc nnlv > fn? yards from the abandone tihomcs in 3arre and destruction of the village seemed inevitable within a few honrs. The eruption began yesterday. . Predictions of experts that it wodld gradually wear itself out without causing serious damage Were contradicted this morning by a sudden bursting forth of the molten mass at the tremendous velocity of ten feet a second. The eruptic cone was brok^ji and the smoking strea mpoured through -the "Valley of Hell." It then divided into two branches, one making directly for the gulf in ths direction of iioseotrecase ami int other bearing down on the towns along the railroad skirting the eastern base of the volcano. The chief of police in a Kansas town was let out the other day or a charge of discourtesy.

The old soldiers set, out to prove < the fallacy of the statement that i ; they are not old at all. but rather < j the personification of youth. All up and down the tented slopes j of Independence Park, which is the bivouac of the veterans, re-echoed i and reverberated the shouts and :! laughter of the young* oldsters, punctuated here and there with the now almost forgotten rebel yell. The old boys congregated in! groups and reminisced of the g!o] rious days of the sixties. Old aej quaintances were renewed and the i44Johnny Reb" who left a leg* on : the field at Gettysburg told a com' lade who had an arm torn off on ithe bloody field at Manassas about,1 j the suffering that is now only aj ! memory. j i Tales of daring at Seven Pines j and stories of the tragic day at Ap| j pomattox were related in realistic j fashion by those who were there. j Over in a sunny nook back of the j hew Armory a snail group semhled and one or two of their j number produced from some hidden source a fiddle or so. A well waxed bow brought forth tunes and melodies that were dear to the hearts of the men who had duddled around the campfires in the army of Lee when the now old and bent figures were young and stalwart men battling with their backs to the wall for J their beloved south.

( "We 01 the south must never per- ( . mit southern glories to be forgotten . in the maelstrom of industrial ' strife," said the senator. "We must ( i not allow those principles for which ( our fathers sacrificed to be stip- 1 planted by yielding to the commer. j cial exigencies of the hour. j "Slavery was not the cause of the j | war," he said.

No education is complete without a knowl-! edge of the literature of the Bible. " It has the greatest popularity. It; is written in more different langu- j ages than any other book. It is read j )y more people than any other book, j It is surpassed by no other hook un influence or. the individual, the wme, society and on the world. It jas held this place for three thousand years amid storm and strife.." Mr. Prof fit's closing remarks to :he young people were, "Own the Bible, know the Bible, live the Bible, ;he greatest of all Books." At the close of the program announcement was made to the effect that Lees-McRae would next year ipen a junior college. Mr. Edgar rufts announced that, "For a long ,ime it has been the expectation of Lees-McRae to extend its program to that of junior college work. Only this time, beginning next September, has the management felt justi-j fied in projecting this program. This! is made possible by friends through I whose generosity the present plant I and equipment, is in evidence today. | It is the expectation of the college! to fulfill the requirements for stan-1 dardizing and we are sure that all I of you who have been students lm*i year, friends and parents, will rejoice that tnis new step is being; taken." i11 YE C ilN I A Y I MEMORIAL DAY I ATk?r^i\iT?n*\ m T* TT* ft UKM^HVLlj MJ1NDA1 Watauga County Pays Tribute to World War Dead in Beautiful Service at Methodist Church; Rev.

This eleventh chapter of Hebrews has been called the " Westminster Abbey of the Testament." -XiWs i a chapter in which the lives of he- t roic men and women are described, the very type of lives whish shall bring: about the final consummation of the universal dream contained in the fourth verse of the second chapter of Isaiah. In tins quiet sanctuary this morning, so replete with holy and peaceful memories, we come to think about war and to mourn for those who have been its victims. There is not a single individual present this morning who dooa not regret profoundly that we have met today in such a capacity. We would thank God from the bottom of our hearts if such wholesale butchery had never occurred that maxes n imperative that We meet and mourn for those who (rave their lives for us. But such has been true in the history of the world. We fain would forget the horrors of that pitiless carnage when the blood of nations poured freelv to satisfy the ambitious lust and greed of a tyrant of an imperial empire. Willingly would we banish forever from memory tHnip cruel, dark, bloody days: yet we would not, if possible, forget | those heroes who paid the supreme penalty, a?d by ?(,?? made possible the dawning of a new day in human history. j So I repeat, we look back and re(Continued on Page Eight) . . gfj SfeV .
