ROBT. M. PHILLIPS.
The sudden death of Robert M.
Phillips, associate editor of the
Qreensboro News, comes as a
distinct shock to his numerous
friends throughout the State.
When the Legislature, of which he
was reading clerk of the Senate,
adjourned he went to the home of
his aged father near Carthage for
a few dayk' rest, and there he
died suddenly yesterday afternoon
at six o'clock from heart failure
He lacked 19 days of being 48
years of age.
As a newspaper writer he had
few equals in the State. Among
his newspaper brethren, and
among all who knew him, he was
held In high fsteem. He was
cordial and genial and considerate.
THE FLOOD SITUATION.

Gulf, great apprehension I* felt.
Ohio auffered more severely than
any othp* State, in which a doz
en town* and cities were swept
by the yellow torrent. It is now
said the death list will not ex
ceed 500. First reports put the
number at 2,000 and more,, this
because towns were flooded and
no connection could be had. It
will bo a while yet before any
thing like an accurate list, of the
dead is known, as bodies arc con
tinually being recovereed, The
property loss, too, is something
that will never be accurately
known. It is simply eitimated
by million*. Then, too, thousands
of thrilling acts of real heroism
will never be told of on. the print

Late reports say hundreds of
of dollar* are needed at once to
relieve the distress of the flood

THE SECOND ANNUAL
Alamance Coooty Commencement
TO BE HELD
April 26th, 1913.
GRAHAM GRADED SCHOOL GROUNDS
• FOREWORD.
Since the State, through the Legislature of 1907, made
provision for High School education at public expense for all
those students who complete the Public School course, it is
now a necessity in our educational system to examine and
graduate students from the Public Schools. In obedience to
this demand the County Superintendent of schools has set
apart Saturday, April 26, 1913, as the day for the second an
nual County Commencement for the Public Schools. (Should
April 26 be a rainy day, the commencement will be postponed
*>ne week to Saturday, May 3.)
It is intended to make this a day of commencement, exhi
bition, contest in public speaking and athletics and general
rally. ' Every committeeman, teacher, patron, pupil aftd
friend of the cause in the county is heartily invited to co
operate in one grand united effort to make this a great lny
in general educational uplift. i

MARSHALS
One mnrshal is appointed for each township. He is to have
the general oversight in securing attendance from his town
ship and a general supervision of his part of the parade. But
the township marshal is not expected to do this work alone.
The committees should see that the children of their respec
tive schools have a way to go and are cared for in line and
during the whole trip. The larger boys of every School, if
n>t already appointed by the teacher, may consider them
selves appointed school marshals to see to it that their school
has conveyance and are in line in order at the proper time.'
Every township marshal will be provided with an appro
priate badge by the Superintendent.
THE PARADE.
What should be an inspiring sight-to every one is the pa
rade. To see so many united in one great demonstration for
a common cause should inspire new hope. 'Every child of'
every white school, both city and rural, is wanted in the
parade. Also the committees and teachers are asked to head#
their schools and march with them in line. To arrange for *
the parade the school bell will ring at 10:30 for ten minutes,
and during this time the school* of each township will gather
around their township bannera in school groups. The ban
ners will bo arranged on the Oraded School grounds in regu
lar rows. The parade will proceed by townships and by
schools in the townships by number as given in the School
Directory just published. The Brass Band will head the en
tire procession. Then will come a large county banner fol
lowed by the graduates wearing ribbon streamars of red,
white, and blue. Next will follow the Tomato Club girls and
the Corn Club boys. If a boy or girl belongs in of these clubs
and also is a graduate he or she will march with the grad
uates. After the graduates and these clubs will come the
schools by townships, headed by township banners, with each
school headed by a pennant bearing the name of the school.
These banners and pennants are now made and will be furn
ished every township and every school by the Superintendent
on commencement day. Schools are asked to provide them
selves with such other flags, pennant* and school colon as
they may have or care to use.
LITERARY ADDRESS.
The literary address will be made under the large oaks on
the Graded School gronnd in an open air auditorium by the
State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Dr. J. T. Joyner.
Dr. Joyner is a school man of breadth and experience and a
speaker that is pleasing and powerful. There is a rich treat
in store in the literary address.
EXAMINATION AND CERTIFICATES.
The examination questions will be sent to the teacher of
every school who has students who have completed the seventh
S-aue or all the Public School studies. These Questions will
i sent at the close of the school on request of the teacher.
If the school docs not close before April 16, then that teacher
is asked to hold her examination on the 14th and the lfith so
the graduates may be known in time for all necessary ar
rangements to be made for commencement day, April 86.
Each teacher grades her own papers and sends or brings the
grades and papers to the Superintendent subject to his criti
cism. An average of 7ft per cent, with no marie lower than
Ho per cent is the minimum for graduation.
All graduates will receive a beautiful certificate of gradua
tion on commencement day. This certificate entitles the
graduate to go to one of the State High Schools free of
tuition. The certificates of graduation will be presented from
the rostrum.
Those students who have been neither absent nor tardy for
the entire school session wtll receive each a certificate of honor
on commoncement day from the Superipttbdent's office and
not from the rostrum.
DINNER AND PLACES TO HITCH.
. Dinner will not be served from one united table, as the
crowd may be too large to make this plan convenient. But
it is suggested that each school arrange a picnic dinner to
gether. This can easily be made a success and a pleasant
feature.
Have a starting place from home—the school house or some
more convenient center or cross roads. Have a time to start.
AH be there with wagons and baskets. Put np your colon
and all come together.
No hitching will be allowed on the school grounds, but va
cant lots and groves can be secured elsewhere in town. Belect
one of these places and then it will be easy for all to retire to
that place for your school picnic dinner.
The Street Car Corapaßy very kindly divides proceeds of
the day with the enterprise. Any schools copiing from Bur
lington or Haw River by the car line will contribute both to
the company arid to the commencement and may easily ar
range to serve their dinner on the school grounds after pic
nic fashion.
CONTEST IN RECITATION AND DEQLAMATION.
All graduates who care to do so may contest in recitation
or declamation if they send their names to the Superintendent
on or before April 15th. If the number sent is too many for
two contests, then a preliminary contest will be held on the
evening of the 25th to reduce the number. The prizes offer
ed will be Histories of American Literature. It is hoped that
we will have contestants enough for two contests at the same
time—one in the Opera House and one in the Court House.
THE FIELD DAY PROGRAM.
The field day program will be given on the school grounds
by the home Bchool and the three State High Schools—Sylvan,
Friendship and Hawfields. The fetes that will be performed
are foot races, high jump, broad jump, shot putting and pole
vaulting.
THE EXHIBITION.
The exhibition will be shown in the Graded School build
ing through the day and will consist of drawiqg work, com
position work, number work by Primary grades, honor roll
of attendance for the year, donated i mprovement reports by
schools, school pictures, school house pictures, and tomato
products. Anything else out of the list mentioned may be
exhibited that shows special talent or worth. All exhibits
should be brought in before commencement day that they
may be arranged for display. Uniform paper has already
been sent to the schools for use in preparing exhibits. If
needed, more paper may be had from the Superintendent's
office.
FLOAT PARADE.
As has already been suggested that a large wagon deco
rated with colors will make a nice and convenient means for
coming to the commencement. This can be done easily, and
we want to make it an attractive feature of the commence
ment. Hence a special time for the display or parade. As
the people arrange to start home, after the floats have been
filled again with children at the Court. House Square, a pa
rade of floats will be made. It is hoped to make this the
climax of the day's demonstrations. A train of decorated
coaches drawn by ribboned horses and filled wijth school chil
dren, is the scene intended. Last year one Vagon with a
capacity for 100 children brought to the commencement more
than 80 students from the Ossipee school. It alone, while
filled with children, was a beautiful sight. What would a
whole procession be ? Prepare one for your school.
A FEW FINAL WQfIDS
Several songs will be sung during the day. We would
call your attention to and ask you to prepare "All Hail the
Power of Jesus' Name,"' "Alamance," "Ho for Carolina,"
"The Old North State," "Dixie" and "America."
If the weather will permit, we ask that the girls all wear
white for the sake of uniformity.
The parade will be made by all on foot except the Chief
Marshal. '
We trust several graduates will take part in the speaking
contests. The prizes are treasures of literary knowledge, and
there never was a time when public speaking was without
value.
We ask that all pictures and school products be brought to
the office before commencement day that they may be ar
ranged in time for the exhibition.

and yet they tell us that people are often deceived in
the looks of a thing, and fool themselves by baying the larger
looking mushy package of the imitator, even in some instance
after the druggist—who knows—has explained that GOWANS
is the ORIGINAL fur Croup, Colds and Pneumonia and.that
better results can be obtained by the use of an ounce of GOWANS
PREPARATION tflan from a hogshead full, separate or com
bined, of all the imitations of it on the market. Quality, not
quantity, to get results, is what you want in baying medicine,
and the GOWAN bottle contains it without deception in size of
package. The game of the imitator is to deceive. He has it to
do, or tries least. When you allow yourself to be fooled by
letting him "hand you a package" of his "just as good as
GOWANS" and a life pays the penalty, you have only yourself
to blame for your weakness, for there is no imitation on the
market "just as good as GOWANS." Druggists, Doctors, Nurses
and others who have used it will tell yoa it has no equal. This
is a funny old world anyhow, isn't it? And, too, how some
