Burlington defeats High Point Highs
An over enthuiastie crowd,
naore than one thousand in num
ber was present at Harden’s Park'
Saturday agternoon to witness
the meet of the High Point and
Burlington High School Baseball
teams.
A special train from High Point
brought several hundred rooters

fate of theire teani^, the score be
ing six to two in' favor of the
home team.
The Burlington boys far out
classed the visitors, the pitching

seldom excelled by college pitch

of the season the other having
been played on : the High. Point

foyr to five in favor of High

teams, will-, decide the High

Total enrollment 859
From the above figures it will
be noted that the beginners of
this year are not so numerous as
the preceding year. This is
partly due to stricter requirment
as to the age limit. Several who
would have entered were not
permitted to do so because >of
their youthfulness. However,
this loss is overbalanced by the
gain of the next two grades. In
the Grammer School there was
a loss for which we do not know
how to account, unless it was be
cause no students were allowed
to enter any grade upon recom
mendation as many did the pre
ceding year. It is good to note
a healthy gain in the High School
over lasti
Last year the graduates from
the High School were only six,
this year there were twenty.
Next year’s Senior class gives
evidence of being a strong and
even larger class than the class
that graduated this year. Al
though the enrollment of .this
year's seventh grade is smaller
than that of last, still there was
a gain over last in the number
of graduates to th« High School
of five. Thirty-eight graduated
from the Grammar School this
year. This shows that the pu
pils are not dropping out so much
3S heretofore.
As a matter of interest we
might state that we have added
another teacher to the High
School department. This makes
the work in this department
much more satisfactory and
thorough. Also, in addition to
the boys’ literary society, two
societies for the girls have been
organized and successfully operat
ed. This year also vdtnessed the
first effort at the publication of
our High School Magazine which
we feel has been a success.
Several crying -needs: First
and most necessary is that of a
modern school building. If all
the school children within city
limits should come to school on
one day, there would be only a-
bout half seating capacity for
them in our present building.
We can’t grow further vwthout
more room. We need a physical
labratory, a domestic source de-
partmenj and other things that
would come with an up-to-date
building. Another need is that
of a good library, convenient to
the school. This, of course,
would not only be a direct aid ^o
the school, but also a direct
means of pleasure and benefit to
the whole town.

Sidna Allen is under a $5,000
bond to appear at the regulu^

court which convenes here next
Monday. Allen had been con

in connection with evidence in a
case in which he was charg^

convicted on the perjury charge
a year ago and sentenced by
Judge Boyd to serve a term in

A Fable Story
Hon. B. J. Justice of Greens
boro opened the Democratic
campaign in this county Wednes
day night when he spoke in be
half of the candidacy of “Our
Next President”, Woodrow Wil
son. His address was full of
what Washington and Jefferson
believed and did occasionally
throwing a bouquet of slur, or
slang expression at the feet of
our President and admonishing
our Ex-President. The kicks of
this speaker against these gr^t
men brought an old Fable to mind
of one of his hearers which illus
trates the "point to the Queen’s^
taste. The Fable is this: Once
upon a time a great circus came
to town and everybody full of
glee went out to see the clowns
a.nd the elephants unloaded.
After the platform had been ar
ranged from the cars for the ele
phants to come down, one old
measly, flabby jargo, flapping
his tail to and fro, started down.
When about half way down he
was attacked by a monsteroufe
ant about one eighth of an i»ch
in size, the ant began kicking,
snorting and raising a general
hallaluj ah, after many hard blows
the little ant decame exhausted
only to find the elephant.had not
realized his existance. Imagine
our friend Justice to be the ant
and Col. Roosevelt the elephant
and you havfe a typical scene of
the attack. And thats about all
there is to it.

tice of their profession.
The building which will be er
ected will be two stories with
basernent and if erected on lot
purchased will be 52 feet by
seventy feet.
In front of this building will
be an office and drug room with
‘ stalls on left side and machinery

table to be placed just in front.
On the second floor will be a
storage room and private room
for person who looks after hos
pital at night. Scr^n doors and
windows will be arranged to
keep all poisonous insects out.
Work on the new building will
be begun soon.
A thing rather out of the ordi
nary with the Doctors occurred
Friday May 17th when eight
specimens of the canine tribe
were treated on that day, most
of them for ptomaine poison.

to treat anything great or small

the office of Judge Frank P.

There they demolished a box of

ink later led to a report that the

Roosevelt today was given a re

shown by the men and women in
the manufacturing district yes
terday. As a result of the great
crowd everywhere and reports of
little interest in the past IaFoI-
lette meetings, the Roosevelt
leaders are now claiming the
state by more than two to one.
I joined the Roosevelt special
at Atlantic City where enthusi
astic crowds stopped him as he
passed through the streets and
where he addressed more than
12.000 at the Million Dollar pier.
, In Millville, Bridgeton, Glou

the crowds were unprecedented.

Indications based on incomplete
