"America in the Making," concluded the event The annual commencement was held Friday night at 8:30, the Roanoke Rapids Band assist ing. The High School chorus sang "Santa Lucia", and Rev. E. C Few invoked a Divine Bles sing. The annual address was delivered by Dean Andrew H. Patterson, of the School of Lib eral Arts and Professor of Physics, University of North Carolina. His subject was "Lib erty" and so well was it handled that every pupil present could appreciate and appropriate his line of thought He began by stating that Liberty was not the rigni 10 uo as you please it was not license but it was playing the game of life just as we play a game on the athletic fields, by keeping the rules of the game and being true sportsmen by treating the other man as he should be treated. He asked the question, "How did we win Lib erty?" and answered it by trac ing the history of Liberty through the ancient Britons, Pictsand Scots, down through the Romans. Angles, Saxons, Danes, Normans, Vikings etc.. and showed that it was the blend ing of the charactericties of each race. Thus it came to us. It was not the right to do as one wanted. The kings didn't want to play the game according to the rules and their power was taken from them. England soon had her Parliament as a result which was to act as an Umpire but she wanted Liberty for her self and did not want to give it to her colonies. After the English line oi kings died out they went to Germany and got George III as their ruler. He would not grant us our liberty and we fought for our rights and secured them Having gained our liberty we have our Congress to make the rules of the game just as the National Athletic Association meets periodically and makes the rules of the game governing 8 ports. There is a perfect law of liberty given us by Saint James. It was this that the Christ observed and gave to us in the Golden Rule. He was a snnrtsmnn. in that H aiu,,! played the game fairly and ac cording to the rules. The elements of training needed to play the game of life according to the rules of life and thus be a true sportsman are found first and foremost in the Church, secondly in the Home, thirdly in the School and lastly in the Playground. "Eternal Vigil ance is the price of Liberty." Dean Patterson's address was unique in its simplicity of expres sion of masterly thoughts. Fol lowing the address the Superin tendent presented certificates of graduation to Misses Cecilie Hall, Geraldine Williams and Mr. Eu gene Lehman. Approximately a ' thousand pupils have been enrolled in tne white schools and one hundred and thirty seven in the colored school. The departmental plan of organization has proven suc cessful. An interesting fact to be noticed in regard to the year's work is that ninety-five per cent of the children were promoted to higher grades and in the high school every student was promoted who remained through out the session. Supt Proctor and his able corps of teachers have made an exceptionally splendid record this year in the face of many difficulties and the community feels justly proud of them. The public feels grateful to them for their untiring efforts. etttehaa In Thsre art Marly 2.000 tttaWle est St NEGROES USE AXE RAZOR AND KKIFE William Edwards Ood Th dayNithtby Fred Hayes Both Negro Fmploy at Roanoke Mills New 2 -Hayes Freed by Coroner's Jury only to be Arrested by Stat. William Edwards, a negro lab orer at Roanoke Mills No. 2. made a fatal mistake Thursday evening when he failed to throw out his dirty water after washing up for supper at the mill camp where several other negro lab orers eat and sleep. For this little breach of good manners started a row with one Fred Hayes, a co-worker and lodger of the camp which ended in a homi cide. The evidence as given to the coroner's jury is as follows: Ed wards was among the first of the men living in the camp to arrive for supper and failed to throw out nis water alter washing up. Hayes came in later and let loose some rather strong remarks about the guilty party, which said remarks were taken up by Edwards. However the water was dropped at the admonitions of other members of the crew and supper finished. Immediately after supper Ed wards went to his bunk and re turned with his razor to get satisfaction, Hayes upon seeing Edwards making for him grab bed an axe and let go at Ed wards, but was a poor marksman with the axe, and missed his man, a chase ensued, Edwards overtaking Hayes at the rear of the shanty where the cutting was done. Edwards using his razor and Haves his knife. In this mix up Edwards was fatally stabbed in his right breast by Hayes and Hayes was cut up pretty badly by Edwards. Hay es broke loose from Edwards and ran down the railroad with Ed wards pursuing, however Ed wards soon became faint from his wound and was forced to lie down on the track. Some of his co-workers remov ed him from the railroad to a more comfortable place several yards away where he died in a few minutes before medical aid could reach him. Hayes ran on to the hospital where his wounds were dressed I and he was placed under arrest Coroner H. G. Rowe was noti fied and came over and held an inquest over the dead body. His jury composed of J. W. Cates, W. B. McAllister, G.E. Williams. T. J. Sainteing, F. M. Shute and W. E. Collins, viewed the body with the coroner and returned to the Mayor's office to hear the witnesses of the affair. The jury's verdict was that Edward's death was caused by a wound inflicted with a sharp instrument in the hands of Fred Hayes, who was acting in self- defense, whereupon the coroner discharged Hayes. Hayes' freedom was not for long though for a State warrant had been sworn out against him and he was immediately placed under arrest again to be tried before a magistrate this morning. Prof. A. M.
