FOREST CITY COURIER ROUND HILL Twenty-Fourth Session Inaugu rated Tuesday in Presence of Large Crowd and With Bright Prospects. Union Mills, Aug-. 22. —What is believed will be the greatest year in many respects in the history of Round* Hill Academy began this morning when the opening exercises of the 24th session were held in the school auditorium. Not in recent years has such a large crowd of patrons and friends of the school from far and near been present at an opening as that which assembled here, for the oc casion today. Dr. M. A. Adams, pastor* Ruth erfordton Baptist church, and stalwart friend of the school, was the principal speaker at the open ing exercises today. "Training IO Serve" was the theme of his timely and forceful address. Other speakers on the program were Dr. J. T. Bowden. pastor of the First Baptist church of Marion, and Rev. D. J. Hunt, of Spindale, one of the founders of the institution. Following the interesting talk and announcements by the princi pal, Prof. M. L. Skaggs, which con cluded the exercises of the morn ing, a big picnic dinner was spread on the campus, to which everybody was invited, and greatly enjoyed by all. With the work of registration of students yet incomplete, it is not known tonight what the en rollment will be when class work begins, but the attendance will be larger than at any opening i:i recent years, especially in number of boarding students. The school has a faculty second to none in any similar institution, Prof. M. L. Skaggs, the principal, graduated from the JJnivertity oi Richmond with, high honors, be ing president of his class. He will be ably assisted by Prof. Rob ert B. Davis, of Pensacola, Fla., graduate of Columbia College and Southern Baptist Theologies 1 Sem inery; Miss Ethel Parker, of Kings Mountain, graduate of Meredith College; Miss Florence Reed, of Drexel, also graduate of Meredith College; Miss Josephine Lathrop, of Wilmington, graduate of Bessie Tift College, and Miss Ethel El more, of Eagleville, Tenri., instruc tor in music, who received her training at the Chicago Conserva tory of Music. Owing to a recent operation Miss Elmore will not fce able to enter upon her work with the school for a few days, much to the disappointment of her many friends here. The school is fortu nate in securing Mrs. W. C. Lo gan, of Lattimore, to t&ke charge of Miss Elmore's work while she is detained at home. Mrs. Logan was formerly a teacher :here. A large crowd witnessed tin first ball game played on the school's new athletic field, when Round Hill Academy defeated the fast Bostic team this afternoon 7 to 3. The fielding of Hemphill was a feature of the game. Bat teries: Bostic, Tonev and Ken drieks; Round Hill, Nash, Skaggs and Setzer. Rev. F. M. Huggins, of Boone, who was a member of the faculty of Round Hill Academy for a number of years was a visitor in Union Mills Saturday, coming down from McDowell county, where he was engaged in a re vival meeting. , "The Cabin Courtship," the splen did play given in the school au ditorium Saturday night by the Baraca and Philathea classes of the Baptist Sunday school, was at tended by an unusual large crowd, and a big success in every way. A small admission fee was charged and the proceeds amounted to 546.65. Rev. M. L. Buchanan returned Monday morning from Stanly county, where he was engaged in revival work. ' Rev.

I In the midst of a, great coal strike and the railroad strike, business has gone to one of those I hidden places that we sometimes call quiet. But the world had I not stopped moving. On and | after this, we will have normal business again and the men or I peoole who are prepared v.ill reap the reward. Now would be a good time to consider the county in which we live. Rutherford county has some wonderful resources that are not yet developed and people from other section are looking this way. Now the greatest thing to attract people and wealth to this section is to build goo I roads. It is the sentiment of some of the leading citizens of our county that we should begin now to la;/ plans for a bijg bond issue for our county to build substantial roads in every section. The only way to do this is to have a Road Com mission, patterned after our State Highway Commission, and get some of the best business men of the county to serve on same for the building of a real system, and thereby making a greater county. Now, if we, are to keep up with our neighboring counties, we will have to do this. We believe that when our people wake up to what old Rutherford county is to be, they will rush to the polls to vote for good roads. Our people are progressive, and at the same time are conservative, and are not slow to see the, right. Let us all talk and work for good roads and a greater eounty. SUBSCRIBER. MR.
