V Mock, an Arcadia township negro
who had recently moved to Davie,
was drowned while in the Yadkin
river Saturday afternoon. Mock
was in swimming with a party of
negroes and they say he was seiz
d with cramp; that he managed
to reach a rock about , the middle
of the river and climbed out of
the water on the rock. The other
negroes say they hallooed at
Mock, telline him to hold fast
. until a boat could reach him.
The cramp must have been severe,
however, as the negroes claim
they saw Mockl draw up as if he
was in great pain and slide from
the rock into the river, where he
drowned before they could go to
: his rescue -The water was very
deep and the body was not recov
ered until sun down Saturday
afternoon. A gentleman from
Arcadia who was in town Monday
says relatives of the drowned ne
gro are alleging foul play on- the
part of the companions who were
with him on Saturday. These rela
tives ay that a watch and a sum
of money Mock was known to
have in his" possession when he
went to the' river, are missing.

the young man has a right to

arrival of the commencement
prior there come the annual pro

the tendency toward adopting a
profession already overcrowded,
the line of argument being based
on the point from which the situ

last few years there has been un
deniable tendenacy toward adopt
ing one of a half dozen professions.
Doctors and dentists, lawyers and
engineers have, been turned out in
wholesale numbers, and their
number increases in greater pro
portions annually. That this
tendency should be viewed with
alarm is not suprisinfalthough
much of the fear appears to be
unwarranted. ThiRr opportunities
