LEE THE SUBJECT Address Made Before Children of the High School and : Grammar School J. W. BAILEY SPEAKS Ijre's Birthday Celebrated in Schools Today- Splendid Address Miide By Mr. J. W. Riiiloy at the High School This Morning Superinten dent Harper at Thompson School Col. Olds Speaker ut Wiley Dr. Chas. bee Smith at Centen nial and Mr. R. 1). V. Connor at Caralelgh School An Inspiring Subject. It Is a great thins for the young people of today to have Robert E. Loo held up to them as an example of what a truly great life may be, especially a life that had for its lode star tho one word duty.' It ls'a commendable custom that is being observed in tho schools of the city, of having on Lee's birthday an ad dress' from some of the city's speak ers. ' At the High School this morning Mr. J. W. Bailey made a great ad dress on the life of Lee.' He had all needed inspiration in his subject and hoi was listened to with the deepest attention by the students and teach ers as well. The exorcises began with the sing ing of "Columbia the Oem of tho . Ocean," closing with "Dixie," which was sung with deeper spirit than over after the address. Mr. Bailey was becomingly intro duced by Supt. P. M. Harper. ' After twenty-four years, Mr. Balioy declared, he was glad to come back to tho graded schools, especial ly for such a purpose. Ho felt constrained to say some Ing for war today when all the world Is teaching a gospel of peace. It Is a great beneficial angeney in civilization. Wars have always marked the progress of the race. "We have met this morning," said Mr. Bailey, "to consider the charact er of a man who without the con flicts of war could not have been handed down to the ages as the priceless heritage ho is. As we pass along the street we are momentarily in the presence of great heroes. Our fathers and grandfathers know pri vations and hardships. What would the south do without them? "Tho war did great harm to both the south and the north, while U was going on, but who will say they could be the country they are with out tho conflict they went through. "The Civil war gave too colossal heroes as well as a generation of heroic men. Tlioso two outstanding heroes alone ore worth to tho nation all that tlio bloody struggle cost." One of these Mr. Bailey named as Abraham Lincoln, whose very namo Is an Inspiration. As for the other, though the Civil war bankrupted the south, tho name ' and fame of Leo remade the jouth. Mr. Bailey related what llttlo that Is known of his boyhood, his life at West Point and his later career, (Continued on Page Two.) THE PESIDEHT HAS STARTED ON TRIP Washington, Jan. 19.

Judge Cook yesterday afternoon granted the writ of habeas corpus asked by counsel for Ed. Hodg'tn and ordered the re lease of the prisoner upon a bond of $1,000. Hodgin has been in jail since December on a grand jury In dictment, for the murder of John Lovelt, an aged and eccentric white man, last October. All oT the wit nesses examined by the grand jury were called during yesterday's hear ing, and though the evidence was such as to throw a suspicion toward Hodgin there were so many missing links to the chain of circumstances that Judge Cook gave his decision without allowing counsel of Hodgin to produce any testimony. . Solicitor Gattis did not resist, stating at. tho conclusion of testimony that he was frank to admit that a bond should be allowed. The murder of John Lovett was one of the most brutal in the history of Guilford county. Thursday morning, October 19, his badly mutilated body was found on tho railroad track between Jamestown and High Point. Absence of blood stains caused immediate'- suspicion of foul play and neighborhood sus picion rested upon Hodgin. He was arrested and given a preliminary hearing in High Point, the magis trate releasing him. Relatives or. tho dead man continued their efforts to fasten the crime on Hodgin and the grand' jury in December found a true bill upon evidence of seven witnesses. Upon this same testimony Judge Cook yesterday held that there was no evidence of first de gree murder against. Hodgin and ordered his release upon a bond, which was easily made. It seems positive that Lovett was murdered, tho motive being robbery, but it Is equally positive that tho state is weak in its evidence against Hodgin. Mark Jones, a white man was brought here from Reldsvllle last night to face charges of burglariz ing the Pomona Mercantile company store a month ago, when valuablo merchandise was taken.
