COHMENCEHENT PROGRAM OF[
AHOSKIE HIGH SCHOOL.
Rev. Sparlu Melton of Norfolk, to
Deliver Address?Exercises in
Baptist Church, Msy 5. *?
The closing exercises of the
Ahoskie High School will take
place at the Baptist Church on
Friday night. May 6. The pro
gram was published in this neper
?n its issue of April 21. Owing to
tlie work done by the teachers in
this school preparing for the Coun
ty Commencement the program
will cover only one night. The
exercises are as follows: ' ?
Invocation.
Song.
Introductory Speech, by one of
the trustees.
Address by Kev. Dr. Sparks
W. Melton, of the Fremason Bap
tist Church, Nurfolk, V*.
Essays by Misses Doris Jenkins
and Nancie Lear.v, members olthe
Graduating Class.

the Ahoskie High School.
I lie address by Key. sparks
Melton will be the chief attraction,
a* he ia a forceful speaker, and a
until of wide distinction as a sneak
er of ability, fie occupies the
pulpit of the 'Fremsson Baptist
Church, of Norfolk. Va.
It is with a great degree of re
luctance that we give up those
who have labored so hard during
the past months to make tl.is clos
ing session the most successful and
by far the most fruitful of any in
the history of the Ahoskie High
School. Tlhire are none who are
at all acquainted with the progress
made in this school, in all of its.
departments, but what will join
with Uie Editor of this napes- in
reiterating that this has been the
beet year in the history of the
school. And the trustees realizing
this have long ago re-elected every
memtjer of the present faculty, all
of whom are expecting to return
and resume their duties during the
next aetsion. One among this
number. Miss Mina Holloman,
will spend the suminei vacation
with her father in Ahoskie. All
of the others are expected to leave '
some time next week for their re
spective home*.
And before closing, mighjb we 1
not mention the one thing needed
to make the coming term, wliich ?
begins next September, even moie
successful! Almost from the very
first year that the present building
was erected there has been an
overcrowding of pupils. This
state of affairs has increased each 1
vear, until there is no one who is 1
at all familiar with the necessary
room .?nd equipment for tiie most 1
successful leaching but what reali
zes that the present building is not
at all capable <>f holding the almost '
three hundred students who have
been.attending during the session
just now closing. Our pride and
our interest in the best education
of our boys and girls should; and
we believe is, such that demands
more room and increased teaching
facilities for those who have these
boys and girls in charge. The
corps of teachers have shown their
worth; the students have faithfully
done their very best work;
but have we, we whose duty
it is to provide for both teachers'
and pupil, done our part?
This is in no Uegree a criticism
of the present. Board of Trustees
or of the Boards that preceded
them, but a plea, for a better and
larger building. It is a certainty
that something must be done ' be
fore another session, and the pre
sent members of.the Board realize
this as much as anybody. Some
thing is going to be done, and
while we are providing let's do it
like it ought to be done. The town
deserves a better and larger build
ing, and we believe tfe are to have
one before the opening of the next
session.

FORCBCFUL HEALTH WORKER
W. C. Crosby Stir* the People ou the
Subject of the Fly.
"Word cornea from the Vari/ius
organized rural communities
throughout the State that tlieir
organizer, Mr. W. C. Croeby, is
as much an effective health work
er as he is a good community buil
der," says the Stale Board of
Health. "He makes health work
or disease prevention one of the
nrinciiml features uf his program
and puts the matter so wiuarely
before his people they dare not
hear him if they will remain in
active and indifferent to bis sub
ject.
"At present, Mr. Crosby is stir
ring uu his peoule on the subject
of the flv a* a filthy disease carry
ing insect, and advises how bv
destroying this pest, especially
their breeding places, that typhoid
diarrhoeal disease^ of babies and
oilier germ diseases incident to
country life in the summer can be
greatly reduced. Mr. Crosby evi
dently does not mince matters
when it comes to the fly story,
for it is said one of his hearers
accosted him recently with the
remark-; 'I like to hear you talk on
fitunr uiiiik, uul excuse me irom
the subject of the fl.v. 1 heard you
ou tliat subject the other day and
I just naturally had to spit all the
wa.v home and could eat no dinner
on getting there so sick whs I for
thinking of that nasty flv.' 'What
are you going to dot about it?"
asked Mr. Crosby. 'Fight like fire,'
said he, 'for never again can I be
comfortable with them around.'
"Another argument Mr. Crosby
uses in driving home the necessity
for fighting flies as a means of
preventing sickness and death
from typhoid and baby diseases, is
that if it,is God's will, as so many
people believe and as many of our
preachers use to say at funerals,
to take young men and young
women by means of tythoid fever,
what use has He for so many of
them in the summer time? And.
if it is His will to take babies by
means of diarrhoea, why does He
want more babies during the
months of June, July and August
ilian du- ing other months of the
year?"
To The Farmers ol Hertford
Bertie, and Adjoining
Counties.
As it will soon be time for you
to begin planting your tobaoco
crop, I feel that you will . apnreci
t'e some little information'regard
ing the tobacco situation at pre
sent. 1 have taken the trouble to
inquire into the situation tho
roughly, in order that I might be
ui some help to the tobscco raisers
in our section, and, from all that
I can gather, I find that the deal
i _ ij .: ii- .ii .i
era iibvc buiu i>ia*.utnii.y nit tue
tobacco that they 1iad on hand,
leaving leas on hand at present
than they have had for several
years, It is the general opinion of
well-posted tobacco men that next
year's crop will bring a much bet
ter price than that of the past sea
son. They are forming their
onimon from the fact that practi
call.v all of the old stock is being
worked up. and the reports from
South Carolina indicate there will
be only fifty per cent of the crop
raised in that State. This means
that the manufacturers will have
to depend upon North Carolina toj
supply the required amount of
bright tobacco.
My personal opinion is that you
will not go wrong in planting as
large a crop as vou c|n possibly
house.
I wish to let you know that 1
have made arrangements to sell
your tobacco?ungraded as well as
the graded; so if you are hesita
ting about increasing your acreage
on account of having to grade it,
1 am sure this information will re
lieve you. I feel that I can safely
advise .Vou to plant as large an ac
reage as possible the coming sea
son, as I am sure it will pay you
well.
Hemamber that the Raanight.
Warehouse will he able to handle
your tobacco for you, graded or
not graded.
Yourr very truly,
