The lad, well the size of kindergarten age, she evidently thought had been kidnapped. The mother missed him, searched frantically, and called the News and Observer. The papers carried the story. Tucked well inside the Eastern journal the next day, we see that the boy was found in a garage near home. The mother had forgotten to look there. Let us search with understanding and not with fear. ANOTHER CAPTURE At the dinner the other day given the Confederate veterans, one of near 80 was calling the roll of his old company. He was the only one who answered present. When he had gotten along about the letter H, they were passing the cigars. Never missing a name, he added another to the roster of that old company, "Take One." Maybe, it used to be applied to the Yankees, but it was nifty to hear it applied to cigars, and he never missed a name?"Harrell, Harrison, 'Take One', Henderson, etc.' His * escort tucked a cigar away, and later the veteran puffed contentedly the smoke of victory. I'll bet you one thing, he never was on 'kitchen police.' IT MAY BE TRUE Slip on the linotypists' keys may cause worry or tell the truth. But IP |LgJ] w,,|f The Copper-Clad rust out.

Governor Gardner had conferred with representatives of the cotton mill interests, seeking a solution of the deplorable affairs in the West. He had then refused, according to the story, to give an interview to representatives of the communists or to labor unions. "The settlement finally reached was a complete victory for the employers.

Of course, the reporter must have meant DESIGNATION. But, look up Brother Webster, there's a powerful difference in the meaning of the words, but only one letter | was changed. However, the d and the r are next door neighbors on the linotype keyboard. PAST AND PRESENT The other day just before adjournment of court, Judge Small had instructed the crowd to remain still while the sheriff said the final words for the day. A negro man started down the steps. The judge interrupted the adjournment proceedings and had the sheriff bring him back. He lectured him a little and let him go when the negro said that he had not heard the judge's order. "I'll take your word for it, and let you go," the jurist said. And this incident brings to mind a story of old here in old Warren, when a judge called upon the sheriff to bring 'that man' to the bar. The sheriff went where the law pointed and nabbed a county character, fetching him before His Honor. "What do you mean coming into my court drunk?" the judge asked. "I ain't drunk, judge." "Yes you are. You can't even walk down the aisles to the door." "No I ain't, judge.

The court instructed him to proceed. The county character wobbled down with reasonable dignity and dispatch. He made it fairly well, supported by the gazes of neighbors and friends. Reaching the door, he turned with an air of triumph to the inrftrp "Hnnrah for Hell. I knew I Jw"Ovl ' could make it." The sheriff gave him to the jailer for the night. rf~v?n rirm? iirrrir V1L W J Ul mil II null Six elephants, with muddy foreheads, standing near a line of cars on the highway between Weldon and Roanoke Rapids.

I was held up on the road 20 minutes as the melee was finally headed out right. The circus had started to pitch its tents on one lot, had gone about half way, when1 it bogged down. They were moving along the State highway to another location. Rain was falling gently, crowds were milling about, and the usually competent circus was in the slough of despond. A crowd of negroes gathered about a pile of cotton at the end of the rows. A young negro girl, all dessed-up in white and headed home from school. An approaching car, running rapidly.

During the year 1928-29 there were 43,339 white boys and 53,400 white girls enrolled in public high schools, or over 10,000 more girls than boys. Fifty-five per cent of the tojal white high school enrollment of 96,739, and 67 per cent of the total colored high school enrollment of 13,218, are girls. On the basis of rural and city schools this percentage distribution is practically the same?44 per cent of the rural white enrollment and 46 per cent of city high school enrollment are boys. These percentage distributions are approximately the same as they were five years ago, 1923-24, when 44.5 per cent of F 1 82 line type H We for l We our i L< sure for < Hu jk Bk UN1TI You 'h We sell GOOD service which y purpose always, that aim in vie\ We claim that \ so is on Boyce V j ? i + ton, North CaroOna FRID total white high school enrollment of 58,784 was boys. j Not only do more girls attend ] high school, but figures show that'? they also attend. - more regularly.

Figures also show that at the close of the school year 1928-29, there were 4,668 white boys and 7,477 white girls who graduated from the public high schools, 38 per cent boys and 62 per cent girls. The differences are greater for the colored race, 31 per cent boys and 69 per cent girls out of a total of 1,484 graduates. A slightly larger percentage of city boys graduate than do rural boys?37.5 per cent of the total rural graduates are boys, whereas 40.1 per cent of the city graduates are boys.
