LEE-JA CKSON DAY IS FITTINGLY OBSERVED HERE \Young Men Injured SCHOOL BOARD In Auto Accident HOLDS SPECIAL DRY SEARCHERS Young People Meet At Baptist Church GIVEN WARNING NEW I ND USTR Y OPENS ITS DOORS Exercises Commemorating the Birth days of the South’s Two Hero Idols Held in High School Audi torium; Dinner Served to Veterans By U. D. C. Packing an hour full of music, drills and recitations, the United Daughters of the Confederacy cele brated Lee-Jackson Day here Tues day in a fitting manner. The exer cises for the birthday of America’s greatest military leader, Robert E. (ee, and his right arm, the hard- ghting, earnest-praying Stonewall ackson, were held in the high school uditorium at eleven in the morn- ig. iClass work in the school was dispensed with during the hours and the school children marched to the auditorium in a body to participate in the exercises. The following porgram was given: Opening prayer by Rev. C. T. Rogers ,of the Methodist church. ■Song, America, by the Assemblage. HR^dreiss of Welcome, by Supt. J. F Pugh, who also presided over the meeting. Song, Carolina, by the assemblage. Recitation, by Tommie McLean. Music, by a string quartet com posed of Mrs. W. B. Robeson, Mrs. W E Garrett, Miss Mary McEachern and Mr Rowland Brown, which ren dered several selections. Remarks by Veterans. Music, Dixie. Benediction by Rev. S. F .Hudson, of the Baptist church. Mrs. A. T. Parmelee of Lumber ton, was also on the program for a history of C,apt. Norment’s Flag and Company, but for some unknown rea son she failed to appear. Probably the most interesting and realistic part of the program were tha remarks by Mr. Andrew Currie, the only veteran who responded to the invitation to tell of their ex periences during the war. Mr. Cur rie gave a very vivid account of the events occurring during those stir ring aays from 1861-65, centering his remarks especially around Fort Fisher. Following the exercises in the au ditorium the veterans of all wars were served dinner in the Home Eco nomics room of the school by the Daughters of the Confederacy, at kshich four veterans of tha Civil War, ■gen. G. H. Hall, Mr. M. D. McNeill, , W. M. Owen and Mr Andrew ■ Currie, and two Spanish-American ■War veter,ans, Messrs J. D. Taylor ■ and J. R. McMillan, and a large ■ number of World War veterans were ■ present, as was also the Children’s ■ Chapter of the U. D. C. Owing to ■ sickness the two remaining Con- ■federate veterans of this section ■were unable to attend the exercises. ■These -were Mr. E C. Cope and Mr. ■e. C. Moody. Following the dinner, ■boxes bountifully filled were sent to ■the two absent veterans by the ■Daughters with messages of love and ■cheer. Ellis Turner and John Beddinger, both of Red Springs, were slightly injured Sunday morning about three o’clock, in an automobile accident which occurred as they were return ing from a trip to Maxton. Mr. Bed- dinger was driving a Ford tudor se- d,an owned by his father. The car which they collided with was a Chev rolet coupe driven by a stranger. The (accident occured at thia curve in front of Mr. Sandy McNeill’s home. When the cars met, Heddin ger’s car glided further and hit some cement piping by the side of the road and then the ditch and was complete ly demolished. Only the left rear wheel and the running board of the Chevrolet were torn off. The driver of the Chevrolet was not injured. The cause of the accident has not been determined, each party beaming the' other. 1 MEET MONDAY Meeting Called to Act Upon Peti tion From Flora Macdonald Col lege to Allow Practice Teaching by Seniors.

The plan as worked out by Superintendent Pugh was unani mously endorsed by the board. It provides for observation only by the college seniors. The observers will be required to make out a lesson plan ach day in advance. This plan will be gone over by the teacher re- guarly in charge of the class and criticised by him with the girl do ing the observing, but the real teach ing of the class will be done by the regular teacher and the plan used in the instruction will be that of th« regular teacher. Under this plan it is felt ths girl will get all the ex perience required by the state depart ment by having to mak-s out her own lesson plan and having it criticised by the teacher and observing the regular teachar conduct the class al though the girl does not actually put her own plan into operation.

It has been held by the supreme court of the United States that the constitution only pro vided against unreasonable searches and seizure and not all searcb.es and seizures. If a search is reasonable except probably in case of 3 dwell ing, it is not a violation of the con stitution provision. “The thought that you should have in mind at all times in reference to search warrants is that the rights of the person against whom tha war rant is directed are paramount to the success of the search. Do not unnecessarily resort to harsh means or tactics in the discharge of your duty in this regard. “You must remember that when a search warrant is being applied for and in its execution and return, you are handling one of the most technical instruments known to the law. It is one thing in the law that the courts have been inclined to dis miss on technical grounds, while the general tendency of the courts .is to do away with technicalities. “You are admonished at all times to keep in mind that a search war rant is an extraordinary writ, and should be dealt with accordingly.

The accident occurred as the result of a fainting spell on the part of young Callahan in the office of Dr. R. D. McMillan.

Young Callahan is still confined to Broadway” Coming Here Next Week A top-price Broadway revue and a New York play hit rolled into cne at the price of a motion picture— such is “Broadway,” the Universal super talking and singing production which is playing at the Red Springs Theatre next Monday and Tuesday. Bargain sales in entertainment are something new, but that is literally what such an all-sound production as “Broadway” gives to the theatre- goer.- After seeing the film, it is easy to believe that Carl Laemmle, Jr., spent $1,500,000 to make it. “Broadway,” to begin with, was a sensational play which kept New York itself on edge for almost two years. The action of tha play hag been faithfully reproduced, in tlye picture, not only with full dialogue, but with two outstanding characters of tha original production playing the paits which they made fan;o ua throughout the country. In addition, everything which could, not be shown on the stags has beep added to the picture; all the exterior scenes which so materially enhance the vivid drama of the story, and, notably still, the Paradise Night Club itself, around which re- more volved so much of the action but which could only be spoken of, not seen, on the stage.

The action, for the greater part, takes place in the up- ner circles of wealth and fashion in New York and the theme deals with the love romance of a society girl and a leader in the underworld—a romance as appealing as it proves to be tragic in its ultimate unfoldmis-nt.
