Broughton, of Raleigh delivered a most Interesting and force ful audress at the closing of the Mills High School on last Friday night al the auditorium to a large crowd whe thoroughly appreciated tfhe thought and conclusions he drew from hit subject. He took for his theme "Foun datlon" and showed how the schools were trying to lay the foundations for life. He said the true test ol society is the foundation upon which it rests. He said the home is the first foundation cf society and cha racter. He pointed out the sacrednesa of the home by showing that the law ~ recognized a man's home as his cas. tie and gave him the right to defend It. He said that theJivorce evil is the peril of the heme life. This the speaker thought was due largely to the lack of parental restraint in early training. He illustrated by telling of a trial of some little boys for bur galry and said society was asking the courts to do something the parents : /.;suld do. Mc- said the schools was one of the i r.tions of society and that the schcol was a most wonderful i ion where children of all c mingled and developed real lei- - ip. He pointed to the public echo - ? the greatest exemplifica i.t.n c.' - ? luocracy, and one of the institutions that makes America what it is. He spokd of the necessity to have teachers of ability and character to guide and Instruct the children in moulding the character that would go with them through life.. The church, he said, was another of the great foundations of society as without the proper regard and respect for the great Almighty no un dertaking would be a success. The speaker was fittingly introduc ed by Supt. Mills. Invocation was offered at the open ing cf the exercises by Rev. J. A.

The jokes by John Williamson were rich and filled with much fun and mirth. Miss Louise Fardner, as Olftorlan, with a wheelbarrow loaded with gifts possibly presented the most touching feature as in the presentation and acceptance of the gifts a certain real ization of - the separation of friends was suggested. In them was suggested both seriousness, love and comical. The class prophecy by Wlngate Un derbill presented quite a glorious fu ture for most of the class.

A Perry, was run over by an automo. bile driven by Butler Wiggins, colored ot Spring Hope, and instantly killed From the best information we have been able to get it seema that the lit tle girl had Just gotten out of an au tomobile and had gone around it tc the rear, that she had stopped to pull up her stocking and passed from be hind the car she had been riding ir ijust as Butler v;as passing. The ne gro attempted to drive around hei but she was caught by the fender ol his car and thrown under the moving automobile and to her death. The remains were taken to the home of her parents near by and the ne. gro went first to the father of the little girl and made amends and ex pressed his sorrow, and from there tc Spring Hope where he gave hlmsell up to Chief of Police Laughter, whe turned him over to officer Proctor who went with him again to the scent | and later took him to Nashville. Af ter finding that the accident occurred in Franklin county Sheriff Johnson of Nash county, notified the Sherlfi ot Franklin and Deputy Sheriff W. N Fuller accompanied by officers J. E Thomas and R. W. Alston went tc Nashville and brought Wiggins tc lV>uisburg and put him in jail tc await a hearing before J. L. Palmer J. P., on Friday, June 11th at 2 o' clock. The accident occurred on the Spring Hope to Raleigh Highway near the home of Mr. J. O. Williams. It is stated the negro was driving at a fast rate of speed and did not have the car under proper control. I The bereaved parents have the sym ; pathy of the entire community. TRUTH TABLETS Fur tile People of Loulsburg Circuit; Take One or More as >e<' ponent C R Sandling for the State i Senate and the contest for the House , I of Representatives was undecisive, .1 with Macon leading and Cooper fol. | lowing closely. Macon only lacked ;' 86 votes getting a majority over both i! his opponents. For Sheriff Frank W. [Justice defeated Lancaster by almost ; a thousand majority and Sidney C. . Holden defeated Brown foe,. Register of Deeds by a majority of 987. S. A. Newell lead in the race for Judge of the Recorders Court, with J. L. Palmer rt4nning second, and Pearce lead Parrish for Coroner by a plurality of only 59 votes, Harp fall ing right much behind. For Commissioners a completely new board was nominated with the [exception of Pace who defeated his ,1 opponent by a majority of two. In the second district Claude L. McGhee defeated J. R. Jones, and in the third i district. Speed defeated both his op ponents, Wilson and Kennedy. Sturdi vant defeated both his opponents, Dean and Griffin in the fourth district and Leonard won out over three oppon ents in the fifth. I All the contests for Constable were 'decided with the exception of Louis, 'burg township, which will have to be [ run over again by Thomas and Wlggs, the two highest. Therefore a study of the figures will reveal the tact, that If all the candidates avail themselves of their ' privileges the recent primary was only a medium of elimination in very [ nearly all the contests where more (than two participated. It is not only [possible but very probable that a sec jond primary will be held on July 3rd. [ 1926 to complete the nominations. The [second highest candidate in each case having five days from Monday to t$e a demand for a second primary. TMs [time will expire on Saturday, June 12th, 1926. E. L. Green was recommended for the member of the Board of Educa tion from District No. 2. without op position, receiving 643 votes. It was especially pleasing to see the conditions around the voting precincts improving so markedly. All day long at most places, an active interest was shown, but In all cases pleasantness and the best of feelings prevailed. ? Jno W Hinsdale of Raleigh, was be fore the Board of Elections Monday at the time of canvassing the vote and asked to be given until Tuesday morn ing at 11 o'clock to lodge a motion tor a recount of the votes for Solicitor, especially In Harris township, upon the grounds that whiskey was in evi dence about the polls that the light went out while the count was made, that the polls were not op until about 7:45 a. m., and that was a fight at the election place. Ba request for time was granted bat when the Board met Tuesday morning le came before it and withdrew hM request stating that he had ascertain sd that the reports he wn sto base his notion upon were unfounded and na me and that they were entirely aat sfled with the way the election wan ?rrled oat In Franklin county.
