News End Observer Burned Out
Last Thursday evening a dis
astrous 'fire sw.ept the News and
Observer's handsome home in Ral
eigh, almost completely destroy
ing it and the splendid equipment
of the paper. It was the most de
structive fire that ever visited a
printing plant in North Carolina.
The building and plant repre-:
sented the life work of Secretary
of the Navy Josephus Daniels. The
loss cannot be estimated in dol
lara and cents on account of the
burning of many .valuable records.
If was insured for only about $28,-
000.00, but the material loss is al
most three times that much. Mr,
Daniels has the sympathy of
friends far and near.
With characteristic enterprise
the paper appeared next morn
ing and has not missed an issue.
At once plans were set on foot
for rebuilding and reequipping.
It will rise from the ashes.

An UMJ Day—Throne* •' •eheol Chil
dren and CltlMna Present—An Inspir
ing Occasion.
Early last Saturday morning by
country railroad and by
street cars, school children, teach
ers, committeemen, women and
men began to gather in Graham
for the County Commencement.
They came and came until the
town was full to overflowing.
Wheq at the appointed hour the
procession 'Was formed and
stretched out over a half mile in
lenght, the sight was inspiring.
For the excellent account which
follows, somewhat abridged by us,
we acknowledge our Indebtedness
to Miss Pforine Robertson. The
account says :
At eleven o'clock the parade
formed at the graded school
building, headed by the Oneida
Band. A large Alamance banner
lead, and this was followed by the
schools under their respective
township banners. Each school
had its own banner and was ac
companied by its" teachers. There
were 1,500 children in the parade,
representing 50 schools, and it was
.a most inspiring sight. The
graduates headed the pupils, and
were followed by the Tomato Club
girls in their charming costumes,
the Corn Club boys and the Do
mestic Science girls in their dain
ty caps.. The line of march was
to the court house, around it,
and back to the graded school
grove where the exercises were
held.
County Supt. J, B. Robertson
made a short speech, introducing
State Bupt, J. Y. Joyner, 'who
made the address of the day. Mr.
Joyner's address lasted an hour
and a half and was intensely in
teresting throughout. He said that
this is his seventh'commencement
this year, and nowhere had he
seen a larger, more Inspiring at
tendance,
This was followed by the pre
sentation of diplomas to the 70
graduates from the various pub
lic schools of the county and the
certificates of honor to • the 180
pupils who have made a perfect
record of attendance for' the year.
Altamahaw school led In this, re
ceiving 18 certificates, Oreen com
ing second with 15.
Dinner was eaten in picnic style
on the ground. Immediately af
ter two contests in recitation were
held by the graduates, one in the
court house and the other in the
opera house. The prices, his
tories of American and English
Literature, were presented to the
winners, Elsie Hadley and Loraine
Greene, of the Center and Byivan
schools respectively. .After this
Vield Day exerciaes were held by
boys from three high schools on
the graded school campus. These
were especially good and result
ed as follows:
One-hundred yard dash, Perry,
Oraham, Ist; Iseley, Friendship
2nd.
Mile run, Moser, Friendship Ist •
Homewood, Friendship, 2nd.
220-yard dash, Coy Williams,
Oraham.
Shot put, L. Iseley, Friendship,

Friendship, Ist; Perry, Oraham, 2d.
In points, the schools were as

Following this the president of
the senior class of the state Uni
versity, Mr. Stokes, presented the
the cups and medals to the win
ners of the team at the State dis
trict Athletic meeting held at
Chapel Hill recently at which
Friendship won first place. Sev
eral were given to Alamance boys
and the formal presentation pro
duced great applause.
The exhibit of school float*

final event of the day. These
showed originality and individual'-

There are many features that
might be elaborated on with prof
it—they will be noticed later. That
these occasions mean great thlnga
for popular educalon no one will
gainsay.
The preparing and arranging for
the occaalon entailed much work
on Superintendent J. B. -Robert
son, but with the ideal day and
the overflow of people a big
measure of recompense came back
to him. We congratulate him
and thoee allied with the school
work in whatever capacity on
the splendid success of the day.

Waahington Dispatch,. 24th.
Comment apoe the substitution
of uafermented grape Juice for
wine usually served on such oc
casions at a dinner given to di
plomats Monday night by Secreta
ry and Mrs. Bryan in honor of
Ambaeaador Bryce caused the Sec
retary to issue a statement to
day explaining the incident. In
It Mr. Bryan made public for the
first time the fact that the ques
tion of how the "teetotaler" cus
toms of his house would be re
ceived la official society was die
cussed with President Wilson be
fore he accepted hie portfolio.
The statement follows:
We did sot Intend to msgnify
by mentioning it the importance
of the non-use of wines at the
dinner given to Ambaeaador Bryce
Monday night, but as the papera
have inade soma inaccurate ref
erences to the matter the facts
might as well be known.
"This was the first dinner we
have given to the members of the
diplomatic corps, and therefore,
the first time we came into con
flict with the social custom of
serving wine at dinner. The sev
en other Ambassadors then in the
city and their ladies were invited
to ¥ meet Ambassador and Mrs.
Bryce, and as ail the gentlemen
guests present were from foreign
countries I thought it proper to
explain to them the reason for our
failure to conform to what seems
to have been cuatomary in this
matter. Believing that the issue
should be met frankly in the be
ginning, I told them when we sat
down to the table that Mrs. Bry
an and I had been teetotalers
from our youth as had been our
parents before us and had never
served liquor at our table; that
when the President was kind
enough io tender me the portfolio
of State I asked him whether our
failure to serve wine would bring
any embarraasment to the Admin
istration and he generously .left
the matter to our discretion. I
suggested that t thought it un
fair to assume that thoae coming
to us from abroad would Judge ua
harshly or be unwilling to toler
ate the maintenance of a tradl-
tional custom and expressed the
hope that our friendship would be
made so apparsnt to them and
our hoepitallty so cordial that
they would overlook this weak
ness, My remarks were applaud
ed by the company and we never
apent a more enjoyable evening.
That la all there la to the mat
ter and we can consider the Inci
dent closed and the custom estab
lished so far as we are concerned."
