said he knew their intent was good
and he firmly believed they, weri4
possessed with the business ability!
to carry the affairs of the county in 4
business like-way. He felt that they'
had a hard job before them and call-i
ed upon all people to take more in
terest in the government of the
county and to cooperate wherever
and whenever possible with the com-
1 mission prs. He called attention to
the lack of interest on the part of
the people all over the country when
it comes to choosing men to repre-
. imnmJinf. ,,. tllfl -nnt-v nvcr.
He did not, he said, question the
purpose and integrity of men either
in county, state or national affairs
but thflt t was a science
requiring a deal of inormation
and insight and the ability to judge
the consequences which follow their
actions. He thought that no one in
this county who helped to put in the 1
present officers would be sorry for
their support. He drew attention to
the fact that th ecommissioners had
the biggest job and the most impor
tant job in the county and that about
all' they would get out of it, or all
that any former Commissioner ever
got out of it, would be the approval
of the public if they made good,
which he sincerely believed they
would do. He closed his remarks by
again calling upon the people to co
operate with them and help them in
all the undertakings which they
would have on hand during their
term of office.
" At the close of his remarks Judge
C. M. Pace presented himself befare
the board and was sworn in. The
judge 'was asked for a few remarks
which he gave, although he was un
able to be on his feet He told
those present that he had served for
64 years and that. he thanked the
peoflle of the county for their sup
port from time to time; that he did
not think he would be here when his
term expired ' While the Judge could
hardly be heard, still there was su.
prem silence during his remarks and
everyone' felt that the county would
lose a valuable servant when he be
comes unable to transact the busi
ness of his office.
, Upon the Judge, completing .his re
marks Mr, Ewbank' requested to say
a few, words in appreciation of the

the whole day Monday, when a
d of matters were before it for
consideration One of the first matters-which
was disposed of was the
selection of attorneys to represent
the board in legal matters. They
were selected and are W. C. Rector
and J. Foy Justice. As The Times
goes to press the selection of these
men seems to meet the enthusiastic
approval of those who have com

STUDENTS RECITAL
Delightful indeed was the Recital
given at the home of Mrs. Brooks
Friday at three-thirty.
After the singing of "America"
by the whole class Mrs". Brooks stat
ed the "Purpose" of such meetings,
also the Honor Roll and method of
grading was explained.
The Class was then told an inter
esting story pf "How Music was Be
gan". The ancient instruments of
music the scale or tone ladder was
built so clearly and a simple quiz
followed. We are sure the scale will
be cherished more in the future.
There are fourteen in the Gram
mar Grade. Each child played by
memory and all did so well it was
hard to say who did best.
"The Bear Dance" by little Win
ona Magwood showed an unusual
sense of rhythm.
"The Birthday March" by Thomas
Stocks led one to a rea child's par
ty. 'v
' "The Boy Scouts on Parade" by
Marion Justus, full of martial spirit
was well executed.
"Invitation to the Dance" by Pau
line Gailliard was a very pleasing
number.
"Come to School" a duet by Eliza
jbeth and Eugenia Randolph showed
splendid training and demonstrated
clearly the joy these sisters' had in
their number.V
Sarah Sandifer and Mary Alice
Headrick showed a marked sense of
musical temperament in their num
ber. "

to keep a close watch on the Tar

There was great enthusiasm on the
