A programme filled with in terest and rendered in a manner that drew great praise from the audience and .reflected enviable credit upon both institutions made the evening one of pleasure and profit to every one, i Prof. C. E. Boger presided oyer the debate. The exercises Were op ened with prayer by Rev. W. T. Al bright, at the close of which the chil dren of Winecoff school' sang' Caro lina," Miss K.

Two declaimers, Mr.' Ralph Black, " Lincoln's Gettys burg Address,' ' and John Earnhardt, "Character of Napoleon," and two recitations, "Polly 's Surprise Party" by Miss Evelyn Winecoff and "Feed ing the Children," by Miss Zula Bost, together with the debaters made the programme complete,- and all ac quitted themselves in a manner acquitted themselves in a manner that won the praises of their hearers and reflected credit upon their schools. The musical part of the pro gramme deserves special mention. The quartet, the song by five little boys and the songs by the school brought forth encore after encore. The following question was debat ed: "Resolved, That North Carolina is the Best State in the Union in Which to Live?" . ; From historic Rocky River were: Mr. Henry Bost and Mr.- Drayton Horton for the negative, and from progressive Winecoff. Mr. Richmond Stroud and Mr. Robert Litaker ap peared for the affirmative. Ably and .well did they do battle. For more than an hour the State of North Car olina Was on trial at their hands.

But the record Miows-that Roosevelt was mistaken. Tail couldn't be trusted to take up the burden of the Presidency to '.re pair his mistake. 'It wouldn't be fair to the people jt him to refuse the call and let them suffer another four years of special interest government under Taft." St.. Louis, March 28. Roosevelt' to day denied the published stories that he had indicated his intention to bolt the ticket in case he is not nomi nated by the Chicago convention and Taft is nominated. "Any statement like that is a fake," said he.; "Any time I have anything to say on such suhwt I'll sav it mvself. and'anv- iln!i. tmrnnrfcrno' to come from me hope for a Vance and a Ransom to iivlo I env if rnvaelf is: fl fnlrp " Ibriner her back as the one shininj?

At a meteing of the citv finance and strcet committe it was decided to make extensive, improvements on a' number pf streets. On account pf theH limited resources of the city s treas ury' a number of -improvements that have been considered for some time will have to be postponed but they agreed to go the extreme limit at present. The committee decided to macad amize Church street from. Depot to Corbin, Means and Barbrick streets, Buffalo from Locke mill to the Kan napolis road. Cement sidewalks will also be put down on Buffalo street provided the property owners agree to pay half tlie cost. The committee then took up the matter of putting asphalt on . the business section of the city, from the St. Cloud Hotel to the St. James Lutheran church. It was agreed to do this work provided the merchants and property, owners would eontril- ute tathe expense. The committee.' decided to use the Indian Refining Company's asphalt pavement, which is very similar to that now in use at the Corbin street corner, near the Lutheran church. Work will begin on these improvements ; at once. lUUHU llllill Ul LIU1U1U BY H K. Or P. RALLY To Take Place Togpnow Xufct Prosisest Prtfciait to S;tat.
