The Drexel school closed last Fri
day with the biggest commencement
exercises that have been held there
since the opening of the school. The
graduation exercises were held
Thursday afternoon with Messrs. Er-
win Berry and Everette Propst, the
only two seniors, graduating. Friday
the real commencement began. It
Was estimated that the crowd packed
in the school auditorium' was between
four and five hundred, and there were
still some on the outside who did not
attempt an entrance.
- The day opened with the singing of
several patriotic songs and then the
contest for the best recitation start
ed. All the children had splendid
recitations, but the prize was given
to Miss Margaret Cox, of Drexel.
Next came the declamation contest.
This was won by Phil Poovey of Drex
el. The prize for the best map of
North Carolina was won by Miss
Mary Settlemyre, of Drexel, and the
best map of Burke county was won
by Miss Pearle Shuping of Drexel.
The prize for the Eight Great Laws
of Health was also won by Miss Shu
ping. The best cake prize was
awarded to Miss Henrietta Propst,
the best biscuits to Miss Elbe Brit
ton, both of Drexel. The prize for
the best pie was given to Miss Alma
McCall of Amherst.
Everybody then went ,out into the
yards where dinner wasl spread, and
after, this the athletic contest took
place. The 100-yard dash was won
by Miles Adderholdt of Hildebran.
Everette Propst of Drexel was elim
inated from this, having won it once
before in Hildebrand. The second
prize was given to Nolen Benfield, of
Amherst. The crowd then flocked
around the ropes for the high jump.
This was a hotly, contested event, but
was won by Erwin Berry of Drexel.
The broad jump was won by Lenoir
Setzer of Amherst, and the cracker
eating race was given- to Jay Setzer,
also of Amherst. Conley Stamey, of
Drexel was successful in climbing the
greasy pole, and Edward Rector, of
Drexel won the prize and consider
able fame as a sack racer.
Confederate Memorial Day was
fittingly observed here Tuesday, the
exercises being planned and directed
by the Daughters of the Confederacy.
At the regular time for the opening
of school the children gathered in the
auditorium. Joining them there were
many interested citizens. After the
singing of songs appropriate to the
occasion and hearing an excellent
and timely address by Rev. E. N.
Joyner the entire school marched to
the Confederate monument on the
court square and banked its base
with garlands and flowers. It was
most fitting that Mr. Joyner, himself
a Confederate veteran, should have
been the speaker of the day and that
he should have been introduced by
Capt.L. A. Bristol, Burke's youngest
captain in the Confederacy.
Everything combined to make it a
very beautiful celebration of the
beautiful custom of thus honoring
our Confederate dead. ,

Morganton's annual "Dollar "Jay"
on Tuesday of this week was again
a decided success. All the merchants

I'LAY TO BE REPEATED AT
RUTHERFORD COLLEGE
So successful was the play "Better
than Gold," presented last Saturday
night by the music class of Ruther
ford College under the direction of
liss Louise Little that, in response
to numerous requests, it has been de
cided to repeat it tonight (Thursday).
It will be given as before at the col
auditorium, beginning at 8:30
o'clock.
Mrs. E. McK. Goodwin is attending

Germany has accepted the allied ultimatum.
The Reichstag Tuesday night by a
vote of 221 to 175, yielded to the
final demands of the allied powers,
and, in so doing, agreed to fulfill the
terms of the treaty of Versailles,
"to the capacity" of the nation to do
so.
Dr. Wirth, the centrist ' leader,
finally succeeded in forming a coal
ition cabinet composed of centrists,
majority socialists and democrats,
which, confronted by grave necessity,
speedily decided that acceptance of
the ultimatum was the only course.'
In making this announcement to
the Reichstasr the new chancellor
asked for an immediate decision by
that body, and in the voting which
followed, the government was sustained.
The allied ultimatum requested a
definite reply on "yes" or "no." No
conditional reply, would be entertain
ed, and the' ultimatum was formulat
ed to expire on the night of May 12.
The total sum which Germany is
called upon to pav is G,7o0,000,(X)0
pound sterling; disarmament must
be carried out by Germany in ac
cordance with the provisions of the
treaty, and the trial of war criminals
must be nut into effect. Numerous
other important terms, in which Ger
many has been in default, will be
enforced.
Non - compliance with the allied
ultimatum would have . subjected
Germanv to the occunation by the
allies of the Ruhr ' valley and what
ever other military and naval mea
sures were deemed advisable.
The new 'cabinet is generally re
garded as a make-shift, largely un
but erood enough to
. m ' 1 1 J
accept the entente uiumaium anu
thus avoid a irencn advance mio
the Ruhr.
While the cabinet obtained a com
fortable majority in the Reichstag,
it has the undivided support of only
the majority socialists and clericals.
The members of the other parties, it
is declared, have given it support as
a makeshift and are not pledged to
give it parliamentary support.
WRITES FROM TURKEY
Wm. P. Simpson, of Glen Alpine,
whose delightful letter describing his
visit to Jerusalem gave News-Herald
readers interesting reading a few
months ago, has written us from Con
stantinople, Turkey, a note that is
much appreciated. He says:
"I have received several editions of
The Herald in these distant waters. I
learn from its columns local happen
ings about my home, Glen Alpine, and
vicinity, which ordinarily I don't hear
of in letters rfom home. I only have
to regret that I didn't become a sub
scriber earlier. I .look forward
weekly to the receipt of The Herald.
To receive an edition of The Herald
means almost as much to me as to
receive a letter from home."
