MAY DAI FETE AT STATE NOR
MAL COLLEGE.
Greatest Event ot the College Year
to Be Given Daring the
CoanMnccment
One of the biggest things that
ia before us at the State Normal
and Industrial College of North
Carolina, in the year 1916. ia the
presentation of our May Da>
Fete at commencement. This
Pageant will take place on the
twentieth of May, on which day
we will roll back the centuries and
lire again in the good old days of
"merrie England. Led by Sir
Walter Raleigh. there will pass
before "Good Queen Bess" and
her assembled, a s|>ectacular array
of character come together from
history and fable. There will be
Robin Hood and his band. King
Arthur and his knights, the spirits
of the seatons with their attend
ants, shepherds shepherdesses,
players, milkmaids, chimney
sweeps, May uole dancers, and
peasants. Even Mother Goose
and the Old Woman Who Lived
in a Shoe will be present. The
line of march will |?ass to Curry
Court where the Queen of the
Mav is to be orowned.
During the afternoon, plivs
will be given at approoiate spots
oa our beautiful campus, arranged
so that each visitor may have the
opportunity of seeing each one.
At six o,clock, the whole company
will reassemble on the court for
the rustic dances, and just at the
end of the gsla day, with faces
turned toward the West, they will
sing the old. old English evening
hymn, sung for the first time in
America at our pageant four years
ego. v
A pageant similar totlnawas
presented by our College in 1912
and witnessed by about three
thousand spectators. This year we
expect at least ten thousand. On
the day following that pageant,
the newspapers voiced the senti
ment <ff all who saw it "by railing
the event a "glorious success",
"without a flaw" and "an enter
tainment which for beauty and
immenaity has never been equalled
in the Southern States". This
pageant of four years ago was
without question a decided success;
and we are now given a chance to
display our College spirit by mak
ing this an even greater success.
Everg student in our College, in
Icuding the students from our
Training School will take part in
some feature of the day's pro
gramme. It is to be a great day
for all: and I want to urge every
body who possibly can to make it
convenient to be in Greensboro on
that particular day. Take advan
tage of this opportunity while
you can; for you may never again
have the chance to witr.esa such an
intellectual, elevating, and enter
taining performance , as this will
be. *
Yon people of Hertford County,
and whom else it may concern, re
member that you have three girls
at this College; fortunately tl.ey
are from Ahoskie, the "Metro
polis." Also there are girls here
from Bertie and Northampton
Counties. Can you afford to miss
such a chancel Of course you
can't; and we are expecting to see
on that day crowds of folks from
"home." Don't disappoint us.

STATE CONVICTS FOE PUBLIC
ROADS.
AiheviUe Board of Trade Urfes the
Demi ad of Candidate! Declara
, tion on Thia Matter.
The A sell vi lie Board of Trade
again strongly urges the working
of all state convicts on the public
roads of the state, except such
number as may be requited for
the proper maintenance of the
State Prison at Kaleigb, and for
the farms, an equal division of the
Soviets to be made between the
isstal Region, aud Central and
Piedmont Regions, and the West
ern or Mountainous Region of the
state, taking into consideration, of
course, the greater difficulty of
building roads in the mountains
t^ian in the level country.
The people are also urged to call
on the candidates for the legisla
ture and senate to declare them
selves on this important subject
before the election in November,
and demand that such legisla
tion be bo enacted.
Georgia has been building roads
with her state convicts for nearly
three years, and the talk of mot
orists coming thru Georgia to.
isheville indicates the enormous
value of this policy of roadbuiling.
Motorists state that they can drive
from forty to sixty miles thru
Georgiu without changing the
gears on their machines.
Everyone admits that good
roads attracts uiuch capital.
Virginia is now adopting the
system of working state convicts
on their public roads. North Car
olina should not be behind in this
important movement.

CHEERFULNESS '
Learn to laugh. A good laugh
is better than medicine. Learn
bow to tell a atorv. A well told
gtory ig as welcome aa a sunbeam
in a sick room. Learn to keep
your troubles tb yourself. The
world is too buiey to care for your
ills and sorrows.
Learn to stop croaking. If you
caunot see any good in the world,
keek the bad to yourself. Learn
to hide your pains and aches
under pleasant smiles. No one
cares to hear whether you have
the earache, headache or rheuma
tism. ^
Ddn'tcry. Tears do well enough
in novels, but are out of pluce in
real life. Learn to paeet your
friends with a smile. A good
humored man or woman is always
welcome, but the dyspeptic hypo
chondriac is not wanted, and is a
nuisance as well.
Above all, give pleasure. Lose
no chance of giving pleasure.
You will pass through this world
but once, anv good thing, there
fore,{that you can do, or any kind
ness that you can show to any
hum^n being; you had better do it
now; do not defer or neglect it,
for you will not pass this way
again.?Selected.

On March 17. Mr. William Cale
died vary suildaaily, lie arose
very early, went$>ut to feed his
horses, and when returning
seemed to gim away in his left
side. After gjming liiin to bed,
he remarked that he had had a
slight stroke of paralysis. Dr. L.
A. Nowel was summoned, und
made every effort to revive him.
but^he was unconscious when thq
doctors arrived, and died in thirty
minutes from Apoplexy. Mr.
Cale was a good nurse in sickness,
and was always ready and willing
to aid bis friends.
Two weeks ago little Sophia
Sewell was bitten by her father's
dog. Fearing that Jl>e dog was
mad; the dog's bead was sent to
Raleigh to be examined, and it
was found to contain hydrenhobic
germs. Dr. J. A. Powell left
last week for Raleigh, where he
took her for treatment. We hope
for her a sueedy recovery and an
early return.
On March 2nd, Mrs, Willie
Rfeale died after an illness of two
months, having lived to a ripe old
age. Her last days were spent In
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Perry
Peele, who, with the assistance of
neighbors, did all they could to re
store her to health. Although
Mrs. fieale had no relutivesto care
for her, she found ajhome, and she
was useful both in her home und
to others in the community.
Mr. William_Lassiterand wife,
Emma Holloman. Bruce
Rogers, of South Norfolk, came
to attend the burial of Air. Cale.
The Graded School teachers
