Twelve hundred feet from the mouth of qie slanting shaft Into the min-.; a handful of relief men work feverish ly with a mountain of crumbled state nnd timber. Beyond the wall of de bris a fire rages, and the thousands whft wait silently about the mouth of the phaft can only wonder what else goes on beneath the quiet earth be neath their feet. Six of the men are known to be dead: and their bodies were brought out at 8 o'clock tonight. Superintendent He ward Butler who rushed into the shaft immediately after the first ex plosion saw Them caught there be neath the tangled mass of slate and timber. A second explosion shook the mine and the. young superintend ent was scarcely able to light his way back before a third and final sletona ttol closed the throat of the shaft and hid the men from his sight. Tonight rescue workers are attack ing twenty tons of rock which block the shaft just beyond the point where the first bodies were recovered. While the bodies removed showed some signs of burns, it appears that they were killed by falling rock. The six men whose bodies were brought to the surface tonight and sent to a Sanford undertaking estab lishment were: White. A. L. Holland, W. E. Byerly, H< Ills Richardson and Zeff Rimer.

WICKER MAKES TINE ADDRESS Twenty Graduates Complete High School Last Friday Completed 30th Year For Loainhirg Graded School?Class Hay Exercises?Xasie Recital 5ame School William Rober. Hills High School. ? With the largest graduating class in its history and one of the best ad dresses that has been heard in Louis burg In some time Louisburg Graded School closed its 20th session on last Friday night amid most touching feel ings of interest. With Superintendent W. R. Mills, : whose silvery bead shown radiant from the satisfaction of a work well done, acting as Master of Ceremonies, the program was begun with a solo by Miss Gladys Taylor, after which invocation was made by Rev. J. D. Mil ler, rector of St. Paul's Episcopal church. Principal G. D. Underwood, with happy, but serious, references to his school days under the speaker for the occasion, introduced in a very ef fective manner. Dr. W. C. Wicker. Dr. Wicker spoke very complimen tary of the great victory recently won for education in the successful carry ing of the election for the additional tax, and also of the drive being made for enlarging Louisburg College. He spoke interestingly of the advance jment made in public school education the past twenty years. He. pointed out the difference between training and education by showing that train ink forms habits of higher activity on the part of the child while education prepares the life for a higher service to mankind. To produce the best re sults proper environment must be thrown about the children. He said that every individual has certain ca pacities, the limitations of which should be found and properly recog nised and appreciated by teacher and parent. The idea of some people that education can be completed in child hood is erroneous. Experience shows that the educational process continues through life. There is no such thing as a finished education. He said it is a crime to allow a boy or girl to feel that a high school education is com plete. He divided the necessary re quisites of education under five heads as follows: 1st. Mastery of the realm of the physical world in which we live. 2nd. Mastery of the languages. 3rd. Proper training that we may adjust ourselves to requirements. 4th. Mastery of the realm of aes thetic environments. 5th. Building of character. He spoke strongly for equal oppor tunities for high school education and Insisted that the graduates formulate some dormant purpose In their lives, and stressed the fact that no life is rich except that it is still growing. A song was rendered by the class, after which Principal O. D. Under wood delivered Seventh Grade Certif icates to the following: Felicia Allen, Kate Allen, Beatrice Bailey, Mary Jfalone Best, Louise Cooper, Helen Leigh Fleming, Louise Gattis, Ava Harris, Euseliah Hill, Josephine House, Mary Leigh Kear ney, Maxlne Matthsws, Elisabeth New ell, Lucile Person, Frances Turner, Emily Upchurch, Anna Gray Watson.

At this point the satire audience rose in applause and appreciation paying a tribute as is seldom seep given to one yet living. Supt.
