Col. W. T. Joyner, of Raleigh, began
iiis most unusual and interesting ad
dress yesterday at the meeting of the
Franklin County Memorial Associa
tion, held in the Mills High School
Auditorium at 2:30 P. M., by speak
ing of the monument to the unknown
soldier in Arlington Cemetery, Wash
ington, a beautiful edifice put there
by all the people and to which na
tions of every race, color and creed
oome to pay homage. He made spec
ial mention of the Inscription on this
monument, "Here rests in honored
-lory an American soldier known on
ly to God."
Memorial Day, said Col. Joyner, is
a day for hard thinking, not mourn
ing. The threo stages of thought
which he brought out were, reflection
of the days of 1917 and 1918, conclu
sion of the pride that exists today,
and hope for the 'iiture.
Conditions no- re more serious
than they were m 1917-18, yet this
mils for the same patriotic feeling
nnd aid. The soldiers went to France
to bring In light, he said. He ended
with this challenge, "Let's all go
home and wake up in the morning,
toce the rising sun and know that our
world still lives."
Col. Joyner, member of the First
F>eld Artillery Battery In North Car
olina, and who became the greatest
officer in It, was introduced with very
tilting words, by E. F. Griffin, who
spoke of him as a soldier, statesman,
and patriot.
The -program opened with the sing
ing of two verses of America by au
dience, and the invocation by Rev. D.
P. Harris, pastor of the Loulsburg
Baptist church.
The roll call of deceased soldiers
Mas read by Supt. G. B. Harris, of
Frankllntcn, following which Mr.
Fred U. Wolfe recited the poem,
Rouge Bouquet, taps being sounded
by Al. Hodges, Jr., bugler of the
Cconeechee Council of Boy Scouts.
This number, which was given In the
1931 meeting was repeated upon spec
ial request.
A quartette composed of Mrs. E. S.
Ford, Mrg. A. D. Wilcox, Dr. H. H.
Johnson, and Mr. Malcolm McKinne,
sang "Lest We Forget" and "Sleep
Comrades Sleep".
Judge J. E. Malone presented the
Jambes Post Cup and Medal to the
rohool and Individual winner, for hav
. ing submitted the best essay on "The
Protection and Development of Frank

School was accepted by Supt. T. H.
Sledge, and the medal by Miss Nell
Stallings, winner. Miss Lucille Hud
son, whose essay was judged second
best was presented a five dollar geld
I-iece.
After the announcements by the va
i lous committees -which were to hold
services and decorate graves all over
the county, and the singing of one
verse of the Star Spangled Banner,
the meeting was adjourned.
An exceptionally large crowd was
in attendance to take part in this me
morial service, which so far as can
be ascertained Is the only one of its
kind In the country. The flowers
were especially pretty, expressing in
a silent way the feeling for our
soldier dead.

mour David Wilcox, was re-elected
for another year and plans were

Mr. Powell sustained a broken
right leg and severe lacerations
about the left side of his face.
The condition of neither of the
injured prison officials is thought to
be dangerous, although both may
be tedious hospital cases.
Superintendent Pou and Mr. Pow
ell were en route to Washington
when, about two miles north of Hen
