The commencement of 1916 is now history. - Tuesday evening, May the 2nd. was given to the primary grades, and all the chil dren acquitted themselves in a very screditable manner. Wed nesday morning was the recita tion contest, graduating exer cises and the literary address. Four young ladies contested for the medal, which was won by Miss Willie Maddrey. Three young ladies had prepared theses and these were read--' The sub jects being things receiving much thought in thai nation to day Miss Elbise. Stephenson's subject was "Woman Suffrage." Miss Bettie Starr Howell had for her subject "The Impress of Imj iu kb. a uvea uu nuivitv siuu 01109 Lillie Pruden wrote on "Pre paredness." These theses show ed that the young ladies had put much care and thought into their preparation. But to the old stu dents the feature of the morn ing was the address by Hon. Gil' bert T. Stephenson of Winston Salem. This was the school where he received his prepara tion for college and he was in troduced by Prof. J. W. Fleet wood, his former teacher. Of the class that graduated with Mr. Stephenson, 19 years ago, only one besides the speaker was present.

I supported Mr Kitchin with great pleasure be cause of the recognition and prestige in the nation that wou'd be accorded our state, having Senator Simmon!', recognized leader in the SemL- nud a North Carolina Congress man leailtr in the House of Reprsritative9 At that time no on saw tie world torflagraticn now ratting in Europe Looking backwards it would eeem that vVoodr; Wilson was called to th "King dom for such a time as this." With the Republican party going to pieces and the Democratic party under the leadership of Southern man by birth, exalted to the Presidency of the United States, intrusted with the desti nies of this country and the hope of the democracy of the world, it would seem that, of all times in the history of our country, de mocracy should present a solid front. Had Mr KUcbitt keptthe faith -and stood firmly by Preui dent Wilson there would have been no voice of opposition to his renomination. It is not a ques tion tf success or defeat with me, it is nut a quention of man in this supreme and momentous hour in our nation's life, but one of lov- alty and fidelity to the basic principles of popular government- Democracy is on trial and the question is being propounded, Can the Democratic party meas ure up to the demands of such a crisis as now confronts it I be lieve that it can with fidelity and united support given to oar Pres ident, without it it cannot. Two years ago, not knowing the posi tion that Congressman Kitchin would take, the voters of the recitation medal won by Miss WUlie Maddrey. the Deport ment medat won by Miss Flor ence Barkley and the Music med al won by Miss Claire Watson, The young ladies receiving di- ojnas have already been men tioned. At a:aO there was a baseball game between Severn and Rich Square which resulted in a victory for the borne team. The same teams played at Rich Square the day before and Sev ern - won that game also. On Wednesday evening the High School pupils yreaented the play ''The Only Girl," and thus pass ed into history one of the best commencements the school has ever enjoyed. Oft Thursday morning Prof. B. O. Myers left to atten1 the Wake Forest commencement be fore going on to his home near Thomasville. Miss Margaret Powell left Thursday afternoon for her home at Lynhaven, Va. To these young people we extend our best wishes Tor a nappy vacation.

I waited until the last day on which rotice could be given for filing with the Slate Board of Eicictioris my candidacy, hoping that some one else would become a candidate who would express the real sentiment of the voters of this district. As a citizen, realizing that I owe a duty to my country in such an hour, I feel that I cannot endorse the course of Congressman Kitchin. that I would ba doing violence to my sense of patriotism if I did so. Four years ago Mr. Kitchin bitterly assailed the democrats of his district for supporting a roan for the United States Senate, who, if electe d, would not stand by President Wilson. Now he atks the support of his constitu ents to reelect him when he has openly opposed the moBt vital is sues of the Democratic party. the success or defeatof which means tin- success or defeatof the party in November. A President is a success or a failure according to the success or failure of Ms leg islative programme. It is the on ly effice' in which all the people join in filling. The popular voice finds expression in his leadership. The Constitution makes it the President's duty to recommend legislation and gives him the right, to vetOv 1 We re facing the most ttomenjtnas rsisrnhsorjr of our country.

Pres ident Wilson recommends the passage of a Shipping Bill so as to enable the farmers and manu facturers of this country to pat the products of their farms and factories into such markets of the world as will give them best returns for; their labor. If r. Kitchin opposes. The President believes that the surest and best guarantee for peace with other nations is adequate preparedness. Mr. Kitchin opposes. The Pres ident advocates a tariff Commis sion. Mr. Kitchin looks with in difference upon thia recommen dation. To those democrats who feel as I have briefly outlined I sub mit my cause. To the friends of Mr. Kitchin who admire his many personal traits of character and unquestioned ability and fee) that these reasons should out weigh what I deem weightier and far more important ones, de cide to give him their support while their convictions of duty urge them to a different course, I shall entertain the most kindly, feelings. To all democrats who desire to r ise to the high sense of patriotic duty, as I view the present momentous crisis in our. . nation's history. I appeatior sup-, port, confident that the people of whom I form a part will vote their deepest convictions. 1 ' a W. Mitchell - Only On "BROMO QUININE to set th rnratiM, ctt lor fait mom, UXA.
