DR. R. T. YANN SPEAKER
Sixty Eighth Annual Corner -
mcnt Largest and Beat ia.His
tory ?T. W. Bicket speak*
to Graduating Class
The Sixty eighth Commence
ment of Chowan College began on
Saturday, May ISth, at 3:S0 P. M.
This waa Class Evening. The
Class exercises this year were very
unique and original, and kept the
audieocethat packed the Hall inter
esting from start to finish. The
many witty prophecies, both in
song and story, were quite out of
ordinary and very interesting. The
exercises weie completed on the
Cauipus where, in a bun fire they
burned up their hates, and in a
suitable place planted a beautiful
rosebuab, in which each member
of the clssa, and President of the
College, took part. Then assem
bling in the "Crows," one mem
ber of their class paid a beautiful
tribute to Dr. L. A, Xowell, who
had generously donated this
"Crpws Nest" to this and the sue
ceeding Senior Classes, and the
entire student-body joined in sing- <
ing a College Song, which closed
their'exercises for the day.
At night, the usual reception
was given the Senior Class. A large
number of visiting friends were
present to join in thie happy occa
sion, and in toe receiving line,
headed by President Lineberry
and Mrs. Lineberry, were mem
bers of the faculty and graduating
class.
On Sunday morning, the Bacca
laureate sermon was nreached by
Dr. R. T. Vann, a native of this
section, who once taught in the
school. The auditorium was filled
to its capacity, as he is greatly
loved.and honored in this section,
as well as all over the state. Splen
did music was rendeied by the
Chorus Club, which reflects great
credit upon training received in
the Voice Department under the
guidance of Miss Rose Goodwin".
The sermon was one of the best
we erpr head on an occasion like
this, and received the closest at
tention from start to finish.
At night, Dr. Vano preached a
Mission Sermon, laying special
stress upon missions in our homes
and communities, and very tender
ly brought home the message with
illustrations and touching inci
dents.
On Monday evening, from four
to six, the Art Exhibits Attracted
attention of a large number of
friends. This was held in the Art
Hall. Many were the oomphments
passed upon the work done in this
department this year, and upon
the many improvements made in
Hall and the equipment of that de
partment.?part of the latter be
a large new china kiln. The ex
hibits were unusually fine, which
reflect much credit upon Miss Mid
dleton, the teacher in charge of
that daparment.
The usual Annual Concert was
given Monday night. This is un
der the direction of the Piano,
voice and expression departments.
For lack of room nearly half the
crowd had to be turned away that
night, but the large number who
were fortunate enough to get seats
gave perfect attention to the ex
cellent programme rendered, and
were very high in their praise of
the entire programme.
Tuesday was Graduation Day.
After some excellent musical
members, Mr. Midgette, of Jack
son, one of the leading attorneys
of this section, very beautifully
presented the orator of the day
Attorney General T. W. Bickett.
Mr. Biokett selected for his speech,
the "Woman Beautiful", and for
an hour and fifteen minutes deliv
ered a beatifu! and telling message
of the po'ver of the "Woman
Beautiful", the qualities entering
into this, and how every woman
InPHOID VACCINATION'
FOUND EFFECTIVf
Found by New York Health Depart
ment to give Protection in Direct
Exposure to tbe Disease.
The efficacy 'of typhoid vaccina
tion hm i means of rendering im
munization to typhoid fever hat
again been tested. This time it
was by the health department oi
New York City. According to
figures given nut dy that depart
ment, 8,101 persons had been dir
ectly exposed to this disease and
only 534 of the number accepted
the immunizing treatment, receiv
ing two or three doses. This left
a remainder of 7,567 who either
refused to become immunized or
received the first dose only. Of
the 534 who took the immunizing
treatment. Dot one contracted ty
phoid fever, but of the 7,567 who
did not take tne treatment, 161, or
ovea 2 per cent, took fever.
"These figures," says the State
Board of Health, "reveal several
interesting facts concerning anti
typhoid vaccination. In the first
place, they strikingly show to what
degreee vaccination?three com
plete doee?is a protection in case
of direct exposure to typhoid.
Not one of the exposed who took
tbe three treatments took the dis
ease. In the second place, it shows
to what extent vaccination may
prevent institutional outbreaks, or
epidemics, of typhoid; and again, it
all the more emphasizes the im
portant fact that if vaccination will
protect where infection is known
to exist, bow much more it will
protect from insidious carriers and
where infection is not known to
exisit.
. ...'.'JflFhile it is exceedingly advis
able," says tbe Board, "to be vac
cinated against this disease on
having been exposed to it or on
going where the infection is likely
to be met. as on vacation tours or
outing expositions, it is all the
more advisable to be vaccinated as
a general precaution and as anoth
er form of life insurance. Tbe num
ber of the typhoid carriers have
proved to be many and no man can
spot them till after they have done
their work."

might possess them. Our people
had been looking torward to the
time they would be allowed to
hear this distinguished son. and
were greatly delighted with the
speech.
Announcement was made that
the Graduating Class had adopted
Woman Suffrage, and unanimous*
iy elected next Governor, and re
quested Mr. Bickett to present
them with buttons, which be very
gracefully did.
Hon. Francis D. Winston, of
Windsor, U S. District Attorney,
presented medals in a beautiful and
timely speech, expressing his great
love for the Institution, and tell
ing his friends some things they
should do, and do at once. Judge
Winston is a'waya happy in his ex
pressions, is a groat friend of the
College, and greatlv loved bv all
its friends.
The Anuie S. Bail.v English
Medal, given by Hon. J. W. Bail
ey, of Raleigh, was presented to
Mis9 Frances Benthall. The med
al for improvement in voice, giv
en by Mrs. Herman H, Home, of
New York City, was presented to
Miss Helen Wiliiams. This coni
test, however, was so close that
Miss Goodwin requested that the
announcement be made that she
would give, also, a voice medal to
Miss Maude Sawyer, as her work
had been unusually fine, and the
contest very close.
The piano medal, given by the
Theodore Presser Music Company,
was presented to Miss Inex Mat
thews. He then announced
that a medal would be given for
the best work in Domestic Science
Department the oomlng year.
While he did not "ay so, this is
from Judge Winston himself.
Following this, 66 seals, given
by the Sunday 9chool Board,
were presented with very timely

FARM LIFE INSURANCE
SUMMER PROTECTION
? State Board of Health Adviaea
Rural' Dwellers to Seek Protec
tion Afainat Summer Diseases
The beat life insurance the farm
? ei or rural dweller cud take out
i this summer, advises the State
. Board of Health, is that that will
' insure him and his family protec
i tion against three of the most com
mon and serious of summer dis
eases? typhoid fever, diarrheoai
diseases and bookworm. This in
surance may be had by any one
who desires this protection and is
willing to pay the price. The rates
are fixed according to the resi
dence and the degree of protection
desired. The premiums remaiu at
home and declare unusual big div
idends annually.
This particular kind of life in
surance, probably better termed
health insurance, as explained by
the Board," is based upon three
home conditions?the home water
supply, the borne method of dis
posing of sewage and the protec
tion of the home against flies.
The water supply must be free
from pollution. It should re
ceive no surface drainage and
should be on higher ground than
anv stables, out houses or privies.
The bands should never come in
contact bucket or chain. For this
reason pumps and wells having
closed tope are much safer than
open wells. The farm home privy,
to be safe, must be flyproof and so
constructed as not to pollute the
surrounding soil. Vhe pit type of
privy with a closed back has been
recommended to meet these needs.
The farm home, furthermore,
must be screened. Where it is
impractical on the farm and else
where to keep flies from breeding
altogether, it is practical to screen
all doors and windows of the house,
the back porch included, and be
free from flies.
"In conclusion," says the Board,
"the three things needed for a
farmer to have freedom from filth
diseases this cummee is to look
well to his water supply, to the
safe disposal of human waste, and ,
to thoroughty screening his home."
Life Without Love.
What is life without love? But
whv need we ask it.
For we know that can't be, yet
some try to mask it.
Life without love cannot be called
life.
For how lives a husband without i
a loving wife) i
No one to comfort him in'times of
woe.
No one to soothe his care furrow
brow,
A life with no love in it! Yet
how i
Could she bear the dear name of i
wife
And not shed love within his life? i
Without a doubt'this world could
not stand
If no love existed between woman
and man, i
For God in his wisdom has said 1
that love , I
Was the only way to a home above i
Love one another for God loves
you.
Why ignore such beautiful words
that are true
A friend that is friend indeed.
If all were such there would be no
need
Of sorrows, and cires, and griefs,
and pains,
For our hearts would embolden
with love that remains.
How lives the child with no one
to love.
And guide, and direct to the Light
above)
Such a one is inspired with love
from above.
For it can not be that there's life
without love.
The sun shines brighter, the days
and the nights,
Always seeme clearer with love
for a light.
A gift bestowed, or a pleasure
given,
Leads us not nearer, but farther
from Heaven, *
If devoid of love, and no reward
Will be received in that great
Day of God. E. D. B.

SPEAKS !N VAUDEVILLE TENT
? - - - ? - i
Dr. Sikea in connection with John
eon stages concert after regular
performance ?? Coast
Line interferes
Dr. Sikea, in an effort to address
the voters of this section last Fri
day bight, was forced to combat
and vie with the noise of several
puffing locomotives that persisted
in shifting alongside the vaude
ville tent in which the spanking
was held. The aforementioned en
gines seemed to care not tor the
lateness of the hour, tout on the
contrary they seemed m care not
for the lateness of the hour, but
on the contrary* they seemingly
puffed and snorted with all of their
vehemence. But you can't down a
good man, and the noise availed
little against the high powered
luiigs' and lusty voice of Dr. Sikea.
Owing to the presence of a
vaudeville in town, as a matter of
diplomacy, Dr. Sikes bided the
time of the regular performance,
and according to the usual pro
gram, staged a concert. Dr. Sikes
himself was the leading character
but he was ably'assisted by that
portly comedian, Hon. W. R.
Johnson, a local celebrity. Mr.
Johnson presented the speaker,
who began his speech at about
10:30.
It was the first opportunity the
people of this town have had to
listen to a real political speech
during the present campaign for
nomination, and to many (we num
ber ourselves one among this
group) it was a delight and sought
for privelege to hear the arguments
for and against the two candidates
for Oovernor of North Carolina in
the Democratic Party. We people
claim the right, and the privelege
to exercise (his right, to know
something of the men we expect
to represent us in the State's highest
executive office.
Dr. Sikes, as slated in these col
umns last week, was advocating
the candidacy of Hon. T. W. Bick
ett, and tins latter name gentle
man is fortunate in having such a
man to present his case to the peo
ple of North Carolina. The speech
was a strong plea for the support
of Bickett as a measure of appre
ciation for what he has done for
the State through the of
fice that he now holds, and as a
strong public speaker, useful and
forceful at all times. He fuither
stated that it was a question of
"grey matter" and of leadership
that must be decided by the voter
in casting his ballot for Bick
ett or Daughtrige. And the speak
er showed these two qualities as
possessed by Bicket in such way as
to gain votes for that gentleman.
The address was thoroughly en
joyed, and the audience was not
wearied by a long discourse of mud
slinging. It was just a twenty
minute earnest plea to voters for j
their supptortof Bickett, whose fit
ness and qualifications were breif
ly and effectively portrayed by the
speaker.
Avoid Sprint! Cold*.
