London, May 4.?The Russians .have had at least a partial revenge tor their defeat In Western GaJtcla by badly beating the Turks who had In vaded Persia. The Turkish defeat took place in a three days battle near the frontier and Petrograd reports that the Rus sians Inflicted heavy losses. If the success has been followed up, military observers declare that Persia' now should be free of her uninvited guesis. The battle, however, was 1a small afTair compared -with what Germany and Austria claim to have done to the Russians In Qallcia. Their reports to night state that some 30.000 Russians were captured. There was no mention, however, of any towns, such as Gor lice and Tarnow, which were close to the front, being captured, which leads British military critics to the conclu sion that while the Germanic adlles have won important local successes, they have not driven the Russians far back. Should they do this, however, j it Is assured that a general retreat of I the Russians would be Imperative and that the whole Carpathian offen sive, on which the Muscovites have I spent so much time and so"Tnany lives would be nullified. The Russian side of the story is anxiously awaited, for a big success in the Kast, it is believed here, would mean an immediate commencement of operations on a large scale in the West, for which the Germans already are preparing. In Belgium thus far the fighting has been confined to the Ypres region, where the Germans claim to. have captured some villages, which the British say they evacuated in the process of readjusting their line. Rumors concerning operations against the Dardanelles were con firmed tonight when the British war office that after beating Turkish attacks the allied forces li&d taken the offensive on the Gallipoll' Panln-' sula and now were advancing ihto the Interior. The Turks ,on their side, continue to report the defeat of land ing parties and damage done to allied warships, which are keeping up a lively bombardment of the Turkish forts, both in the Dardanelles Straits and at Smyrna. It Was reported today that the Vail of Smyrna was negotiating with the allies for the surrender of his terrl 'tory. No confirmation of this report has been received. _ The Germans say they have made further progress with their raid into the Baltic provinces of Russia and that they have defeated the Russians there, as well as along the East Prussfan frontier. German submarine today sank the steamer Mlnterne and two trawlers. The U. D. C. The United Daughters of the Con federacy Iveld their regular monthly meeting on Tuesday afternoon. A change in the programme as planned for Thursday and Friday during the District Convention was made and it was decided to meet the vererans at dinner at Justice on Fri day instead of having dinner In Louis burg. At 8:30 on Thursday-evening the convention will assemble in the Col lege chapel for exercises. The address of welcome will be dell >^red by the Chapter's president Mrs. Roh-^Davts and be responded to In behalf otUie convention by the State president Mc^. Little. Mrs. C. M. Cbolje and Mrs. Rob Davis will then give ms^oricai papers of much worth and the^j^ose of the exercises a reception v.-ill top tendered the convention in the College^parlors. No Cause to Justify Removal. In the leaving of the case of State vs. Ellington, before Judge F\ A. Daniels In Raleigh Monday afternoon, where counsel for defense sought to have the case removed to another county for trial, the Judge held that he could see no cause to justify the removal. This was the case wherein Ellington was being tried for cutting Mr. D. F. McKlnne last fall. It was i tried in January, but resulted in a mistrial. T^he Judge .set the. case for ' trla> on Friday May 14th, 1916, for tfre benefit of the counsel for the defense. (iocs to Cohwibln, N.f. The tnany friends of Mr. C. D.

Southall, died a few minutes past 4 o'clock Monday afternoon at the family residence on Church street, after an illness of four months. Some weeks ago she was carried to Rex Hospital, Raleigh, but after some time, her condition being unimproved, she was brought back home. Pneumonia set in a few- hours before J her death and was the immediate caiisc of her death. She has always been a sweet qul*t child, a special favorite in her home, and loved by all who knew her. Bes ides her father and mother, three brdthers and one sister survive her.. The funeral service was held at 4 o'clock Tuesday afternoon in the Baptist church, of which she was a member of the Sunday^sctitfol, In the presence of a large company of sor rowing loved ones and friends. In hi3 lemarks the pastor. W. M. Gilmore. used the striking appropriate and beautiful text, "My beloved is gorio down into the garden to gather lilies." Song of Solomon 6:2. The casket was covered with beautiful lilies and the pulpit platform displayed a great wealth bt. sweet flowers, fitting em blem? of the little life that had winged its way back to its Creator.

Perry on Kenmore Avenue, while doing some painting for him and breaking his thigh and otherwise be in* -bruised up, and who was taken to the Rex Hospital in Raleigh that-af ternoon will be glad to know that he is doing nicely.

The school this year has been conducted by Miss Nan Hines and her work has been a source of pride to all who loved this little school and felt a personal fnterest in its fut Jtr,?n?,eJ?I?PmentL A 1Utle of the com-' munlty interest lh this section can be magined when It Is learned that it is the only one teacher school in the county that Is supported by a special At the appointed hour the crowd had gathered In the building and the exercises begun with a chorus bv the school, after which Miss Hines, the principal,' In Introducing Supt. E. L. Best, made a most beautiful little talk during -fclilch she expressed her appreciation to the patrons for their hearty co-operation, the past year Supt. Best took for his subject "more practical education," and did well in his explantion of the needs along th? line of practical ideas Instead of technical Ideas the more needed by our children of today, and who will furnish our citizenship of tomorrow. He had no criticism of the Acquirement of technical knowledge, rather com mended the Idea, but made it clear ?that we must meet todays problems with practical knowledge. "Therefore let practical knowledge be the first aim and then take the other time you may have for scientific research" was the, position taken by the speaker in hiS-plea for more practical education The exercises by the children the re mainder of the evening were of a most -plan win g ehimeter Qnd did ercdit tn both teacher and pupil alike. Maplerllle. With a most Ideal day and a large C,r?M ,the commencement- exercises at Mapleville begun shortly after II o olock Wednesday morning. Ije^ By Rev w m P,Vke- Dr' N Y- Gulley, S? ??; Gilmore and Prof, Beam, the children formed In a double line and marched into the building 1raylr was offered by Rev.'b. M. Duke after which a duet was splendld , ly rendered by Misses Nepple Wilson. I ?'p'U,^aai'a Al tne completion of the duet the young ladies were presented beautiful bouquets of flow ers. At this point Prof. O. M. Beam in a few well chosen and splendidly de livered remarks introduced the speaker for the day. Dr. N. Y. Gulley, Dean of the Law Department of Wake Forest College, who took for his theme "My father, his child and. Mine." It was the first time the writer had heard the speaker on an occasion like this and also the first time wp had heard the .subject used. It was fine, and masterly delivered. He began by pic turing the country, -the condition, es pecially as relating to economic con ditions and school advantages In his fathers life, showing lio^ things long since became especially antique to us, were more than wonderful to the citi zens of that time. He then brought a contrast with the many modern mechanical devices and scientific facts at present from which he made a pic ture of what our children would do In the future.- In the past he said even the religion was dlfferent.lt only Im posed a simple trust in God. In fact it was a contest between religion and science. Now we are separating tho two and giving each one Its place in life in which It is all Important.. In the future it will be so developed by our children that all matters of no matter how great a magnitude will be settled by a sense of right as viewed from a religious point Instead of by the sword and rifle. His description of the school so long ago was amusing to our people, but served as a forceful illustration to Impress us with the point he was making. In discussing the phase of hie- speech entitled "My Child" he said that it was all proba ble that our children would Bee the boundary line between the United States and Mexico moved below the Panama canal and that he did not feel that It was drawing too strong on imagination to say that they -would see the northern boundary moved be yond the Artie, giving to this grand and glorious republic the whole of the North American Continent." Ho offered an appeal to give to the boys and girls of this country all the op-" portunity to blossom into the most perfect man and woman. From his many interesting and instructive illustrations he easily proved that reli gion was not In conflict with science but they were each, others helpmeet, to assist man to attain the highest aim of God be able to take hold and develop the hidden secrets of His Universe." At the conclusion and amid loud applause beautiful bou quets were presented Dr. Gulley by little Arch Wilson. Prof. Beam, as Master of ceremonies, announced that Rev. W. M. Gllmore, of Loulsburg, would deliver several medals which he did In his usual easy and grace ful manner. He presented medals to Mr. Clyde Harris, Jr., for best com position, to Mr. Jno Wilson, Jr., for greatest improvement In writing, and to Miss Neppfe Wilson for greatest Jm-. provement In music. Rey. G. M. Duke, In behalf or tho Ladies' Aid Society presented to Prof. Beam a beautiful hand engraved Gold stick pin, as a token of +hetr apprecia tion for the assistance lie had render ed them and the school at Maplevllle. This was received with a beautiful little talk of acceptance from Qrof. Beam. In his remarks in this presenta tion Rev. Mr. Duke took occasion to.! make many commendatory references to the woi'l: and high character of this gentleman, whom he said "had been the artlve instrument who had put new life; n$w energy, and new zeal Into this school and community and has contributed towards making us what we are." This concluded the morning pro gramme and the entire audience was invited by Prof. Ream to remain and take dinner on the grounds. This was by na-ifi'eanB tho smaller part of the da^'B programme as to those who have enjoyed the hospitality of tho-p'eople of Maplevllle beforo know what a feast was spread beforo the multitude, and to those who have not we can only say you have missed a big portfon of life. In the afternoon the people again gathered in the large and commodious auditorium where It was their pleas ure- to hear a most flattering report made of the workings of the Woman's Betterment Association. The meeting was presided over by Miss Lola Jack son. the association's efficient presi dent. and the report was made by Prof. Beam. He called two little tapyR, Woodlief by name, to the stage and told'of how they had grown potatoes to assist the "school paying them a most high and worthy tribute. Ho then entered Into a very forceful dis cussion of the special tax feature upon which an election will be held soon. Before retiring he introduced 9upt. E. L. Best, who made a most telling address upon the special tax problem. His Illustrations were all humorous as well as Instructive. "But" he says "I do not feel that It's worth my while or your while to stand here rnul talk to you about a special tax extending my congratulations to you in advance -?ae I could not imagine any other than your endorsing a measr ure that your Intelligence tells you you so plainly need." It was shown with one or two exceptions that Maplevllle district had the lowest special rate In the county. n The president then introduced Rev. G. M. Duke, who delivered an address of eulogy to the Woman's Betterment Association. He wandered afar in his illustrations and took unto hlijuo most trtjfli tflsara Trat as h d said -there were Bone that would do to gfve tho credit doe to our Women." Hla Was a most flowery and Inspiring tribute (Continued on page four.)
