On July Fourth there gathered in the county cour^
house in Wilkesboro over one thousand citizens from all
sections of the county. These p^ple voluntarily came for
the purpose of engaging in singing. Singing clM^ from
all sections presented programs of songs that brougW
cheer to the hearts of the aged and inspiration to the
young.
Not jazz nor ritzy songs were sung, but ^eat hyn^
from the hymnology of our Holy Christian religion. The
different classes w^e not in contest, but were there te
sing the praises of eur God- The vrnter was uplifi^ by
the swelling volumns of song. One old man stated with
tears in his eyes that he was carried back to the days of
yore. A youth said that he was thnUed by that kind of
singing. It is not claimed that there were a^ Ponzelles,
Carusos, Schuman-Heinks, nor other great artists, put a
frr6uD oi go6a people from the movintain to^ and valleys of
ttdX-Ce coXty lo enjoy eaAott^pan^nd
the program of songs.
In that company were representd every type of people.

and worker, the lawyer, doctor, preacher, school teacher-
Mothers and fathers, young inSn and inalclehi, wise and
good people, babies and grandfathers, rich and poor, home

ple gathered spontaneously for a day together to sing,
talk and fraternize.
No sheriff, deputies, policemen, detectives, nor ^y
guardians of the law were necessary to keep order. The
vreat crowd was peaceful, quiet, happy and glad.
Let the state papers and the big city dailies copy this
and- editorialize it. Watch for my next article-

Vouchers for the balance of
the tax reduction fund due teach
ers of the county were mailed
out last week.
j Prof. C. B. Eller, superinten
dent of Wilkes county schools,
stated that in some instances the
vouchers did not pay all that is
■due the teachers. This was due
to the fact that some school dis
tricts have not met the require
ments in tax collections.
Under an act of the recent
general assembly, the tax reduc
tion fund was paid out by the
state without Vhe counties hav
ing matched the fund as was for
merly required.
Teachers who did not receive
their full pay are advised that
payment of the remainder of
their salaries cannot be made un
til local tax districts pay their
taxes to meet this oblfgation.
Dr. A. J. Eller and Mrs. Bertha
Bell will begin tomorrow a series
