SCHOLARSHIPS AWARDED (Continued From First Page) Nobles, I am opposed to bonds, and I have made it a rule of my life to pay as I go." After arguing the point with the old gentleman, Prof. Nobles said that it dawned on the man's mind that the nearest approach to paying as you go is that of settling bonds. The old gentleman saw the point and "the supreme court re versed itself." Prof. Nobles did not refer to local conditions, but he came dangerously near treading on the toes of some people near at hand. 'I was in a small town in this State some years ago, said the speaker, "and they were hav ing a hot ccntest as to putting in water works and paving the street. There was one old fellow in the town that opposed the building of a mod ern school house, the lighting plant and everything else that meant pro gress. Some years later I visited the same town and the old gentleman who opposed the water works, the light plant, the modern school build ing, the street paving and the other enterprises that brought thrift and progress in their train, was loud in his praise of his town." This is 'an other instance, said the speaker, wherein "the supreme court reversed itself." Prof. .Noble advises that you be careful as to how you argue a point with some men. "An infuriated man came to me one day in a small town, complaining of a recent ordinance that compelled him to move his hog pens out of town. "See here, Nobles," said the mad man, "my hogs have just as much right td roam the streets as I have." The speaker said that he looked the mad man in the face and replied with a smile, thoughtfully: "That's so." The gentle answer caused "the supreme court to reverse itself." We cannot recall that we ever heard a more impressive speech than the one delivered here by Prof. Noble. He has a wonderful faculty to amuse and enlighten as to fundamentals. The Marshals The Public Ledger desires to state that we heard many complimentary remarks in reference to the young people who handled the great throngs that crowded into the school building Thursday and Friday nights. Both evenings were very warm and op pressive, but the marshals met every one with a most gracious and cour teous bearing. Those serving were: Miss Nina Cooper, chief; Misses Lois Wood, Elizabeth Bryan, Francis Mitchell, and Messrs. Frances Brad stfer, William Webb, James Ballou, Marion Sneed. The Medals The Davis Scholarship Medal this year was won by Miss Ida Walters. The Independent Essay Medal was awarded to Miss Georgie Winston. Scholarship to Wake Forest was awarded to Mr. Henry Shaw. The Trinity Scholarship was award ed to Miss Elizabeth Floyd. Three girls won the three highest places in the following order: Misses Ida Walters, Elizabeth Floyd and Lucille Hunt.

James A. Hartness OF IREDELL for SECRETARY OF STATE A Card I wish to state that I was very busy on the 20th of May, the date on which the candidates must qualify to run, and I neglected to fill out the blank and turn it in on that date. It was purely negligence on my part, but I thank the many friends throughout the county who was working for my election to the Board of County Com missioners. Now that I will not make the run I would ask all my friends to vote for Luther Daniels who would serve them quite as well, if not bet ter, than myself. J. M. PHIPPS.
