Fill Mae Bartholomew and J. C. Buna.
On Friday night May 3, at Edward
Best High School Eula Mae Bartholo
mew and J- C. Bonn were winners ot
medals in contests. For the beat read,
lng interpretation Eula Mae was de.
cided by the judges as winner. Her
reading "In San Francisco" was a
story based on the World War. An
American soldier was answering the
call to France. The scene was in San
Francisco. On the ere of his depar
ture his sweetheart showed every sign
01 bravery as she boldly saw her lover
leave not knowing that he would re
tarn. "T?I ;
J. C. Bunn was decided winner in the
declamation contest "College Oil Can"
a'sfSry of pathos and retribution was
well interpreted by the declaimer. It
showed that rough pranks of college
days often bring better fruitage to la
ter years.
It was declared that every contest
ant rendered his and her part so well
that it was all but impossible to decide
winners.
The judges were Lawyer Lumpkin.

Seniors Graduating!
The graduating class at Edward
Best this year Is eleven strong. There
has not been a class In the county
that has worked harder and shown
more perseverance and determination.
There were timee when they like oth
er human beings found work in the |
l.'th grade hard, but they worked'
core vigorously when they would re.'
alize that the end was near.
They hare been a busy class with
outside activities. Margaret Stalling
i-Jveiyn Gardner have -' "? j
pedal talent in debating. They: with'
Jchephlne Ball, Alice Oupton and, Viv
ian Cook helped to wiap-at, Epsom
Track Meet. u ?
William Southall has shown that
he" Will make good in punctuality-'by
being one of the first drivers to jbrlng'
a bus of children every morning.
Mattie Lee with her modesty, was
always pleasant to have around. j
Birdie Tharrington, who during the
second semester, was Editor in.chief
o'. our school news, would never be,
out done it the class editors failed to
report. She would keep on after
them until the news was written. J
Glycerine Tunage, president of the
senior class, knew at all times thy re.
quirements of a gentleman.
We are glad Teresa Perry came
back from Spring Hope and Joined our
class. She seemed never to tire with
writing long themes.
Elizabeth Rawland Is our best evi
dence of "8ilence is Golden". Elisabeth
reminds us of the quiet sages who
showed wisdom.
Evelyn was captain of the basket
bell team which made an outstanding |
record during the basket-ball season.
\ irtan will make good at Greenville
tils fall. Evelyn, Alice, Margaret and
Josephine expect, to represent us well
N. C. C. W. in September.
Glycerine at business college At
Raleigh, will be fitted soon for any
vocation. Where-ever the others de
cide later to go they must represent
our school well.

Plans Per Vacation
The closing of school Is drawing j
near, so I'm planning what I'm going
to do during the fonr months vacation
we have before school starts again.
In two weeks froip the day school
cloeee my father Is going to Ashoville
to visit his niece. He says that I
may go with hint. My father is com
ing back In several days, but Is go.
log to let me stay awhile. I've never
been to Ashevtlle before so I'm look
lag forward to the time.
If I pass on all my examinations
I will enjoy my trip much better, for
if I think of them I can think of
them with a smile, knowing III never
be anotber freshman In high school.
After staying with her for awhllp,
she is coming back with me.

lore in the long run 1t is cheaper to
trade with our local merchants, it
ire trade with the chain store the im
mediate outcome may he satisfactory
but the tlnaj outcome is entirely un
gal two the civic duty of buying, seH
satisfactory. Edward Everett Hale
says, "believe that in the twentieth
century no Intelligent or decent man
will sneak out of his duties as t cltl
xcn". And we would be sneaking our
duty If we let the home merchants
business fall while we-belp prosper
corporation? that; hold no in
torest In our oommuntty hud wht> take
our money away as do the modern
chain Btores. The home merchant
pays all of his 1^? ,Ue ??,m
munlty In which he atikes his living
and therefore helps .a keeping Up our
local government Institutions, other
protective activities and convenien
ces, while the chair stare merchant
pays his taxes elsewhere. To show I
the lack of Interest that the officers I
In the chain stores ha .T in our com-1
munlty go to the Chamber of Com-1
merce roll In any town and 32.* if you I
find their names thereon. If there Is 1
a civic contribution to be made ih.atl
effects the community as a whole bow I
much Is given by these coipn-niions?!
How much do they pay-towarus tue
support of good streets, cued schools,!
and good churches? There can be
enly one answer to these questions be-1
cause these corporations have no In-1
iuterest in the community except that I
it puts dollars and cents in-their cof-j
fore. The civic, moral, financial life I
of any community means nothing to I
them except as it serves the above
purpose.
The danger and disaster in patron-1
izing outside industries and their ef-|
fects upon > a local community can bej
further Illustrated by the practice of I
some of our farmers In selling their I
cotton and tobacco In outside markets. I
In the first place there can be no real I
difference in price as the same com
panies the world over have -buyers inl
every market and the prices are fixed I
by the companies. Every load of'to-1
bi cco or bale cotton, therefore, that 1
Is marketed outside means that muchj
more of a drain on our local banks I
and merchants and an Increased rev-1
enue for the banks and the merchants I
elsewhere. If this practice continues J
to grow the small markets will even-1
tually have te be eliminated and to
my mind there la nothing that would!
mean a greater calamity to a local J
community than this. Just think fori
a moment what It means particularly
in the fall of the year to our town for 1
the cotton and tobacco market toj
open. Our bank surpluses are In. I
creased and money Is available. It is I
easier for an Individual, It matters not I
what his credit may be, to borrow a|
thousand dollars In October and Nov-1
ember than it tutor the same lmll.l- t
dual to borrow five hundred dollars I
lu Juno or July. I am Illustrating by
this what a strong cotton and tobacco I
market means to oar community. It 1
has heen estimated by business- men!
that the taxes of Franklin County I
could be reduced one-third if all the 1
tobacco and cotton raised In the coun-1
ty were marketed therein. Therefore!
when we take our products away from 1
home to market we are helping toj
reduce taxes In a community that has |
no Interest In us. In the welfare of our j
children and some, or our future pros.j
perity except as it adds to their bank]
gjfecwrot. At the same time we are]
lnci easing the burden at home, mak-|
lug it more difficult to maintain j
churches, run efficient schools, be. |
cause of a lack of revenue. Wej
should do everything in our power toj
bring this forcibly to the minds of|
our people for it will be too late when J
our local marksU have died and wej
will have to be at the mercies of thej
few large control markets. When
this comss about the many seeming]
courtesies of these outside markets |
will fade away as swiftly and as si-|
lontly as the morning mist on a, bright |
June day and then we will have toj
accept what ever pricee that may be
dlctatorially offered to us
I have attempted to show in this]
theme the civic duty of every cltlmnj
is buying and selling at home. Inj
performing this duty the cltlien
should ever keep in mlnA the thought |
expressed in the following statement: j
"A duty is Just "as essential as a|
right". This duty witl become a pri
vilege and a pleasure when we realixe j
that we are not only helping oursel-J
ves but are preparing a firm founds-1
tlon for our community which will,
mean prosperity and happiness toj
each Individual and the making of aj
happier and better place In which toj
live. This Ideal can be brought about j
orly thru a realisation of the real]
meaning of a community and a co-j
operative and sympathetic attitude onj
the part of its ;ctttsens. |
From then I guess I'll stay homel
with my parents and help them all II
can, from then 'till the time school |
starts next September.
