By MRS. THKO. B. DAVIS
Now that young folk* are going
home from schools and colleges, l
am wondering how many parents will
be adjudged behind the times; how
many breaches of table etiquette and
how much faulty English will be
criticised with frankness, if not with
sympathy. The young folks are sin
cere. They want us to,.be our best and
politest selves that we may be a credit
to all concerned; if they didn’t love us
they’d not worry over our lapses. The.'
do not always realize that though the
strain of daily living may have worn
the fine edge off our polish, we really
are Vather a credit to our community—
if fm- nothing else than for having pro
duced such offspring. .
Let us he patient, remembering, it
we hold aught against our young crit
ics, that nothing is more certain than
that the next generation will feel to
ward- them as they towards us. And
above all. let us remember. Once upon
a time, we, too, were young and came
home from school.
Some of " cem to forget at times
that honesty is a great part oi tin
foundation in building a character
and to regard it as a fancy cornice or
cupola that may be left off if we fim
it will cost more than we want to pay
for it.

Campbell’s College
Commencement
As an educational institution, it i.-
known as Campbell College, But as a
community affair it is Campbell's col
lege. It* founding, its growth and pre
sent reputation are all centered in
and built around a man. The history
of J. A. Campbell from the day hi
opened a little country school down in
Harnett county a half century ago is
I that off Campbell College. It is fami
liar to most every household in this
section of the State. So. instead ot
reviewing the familiar and interesting
account of how a man struck the tin
| der an built a fire that sheds its.light
over this and many lands, I will try
to tell you what I saw in one day at u
Campbell College Commencement.
Starting a little after 8:00 o’clock
last Thursday morning, we traveled o
ver a fine road for 50 miles and reach
ed the college about 10:00 o’clock
Few visitors had arrived. A number of
students were busy on the tennis court
while others hastened from building
to building. Hre and there were tw*
or more seniors in caps and gowns
strolling across the campus.
We went over to the library build
j mg where Dr. Campbell has his office
| A half dozen men—trustees and old
j students were there. I introduced R
I Edd Horton to President Campbell
| telling him I had brought him a pros
j pective student. The way—his way—
j Dr. Campbell pulled that boy to him
j and what he sak' won him for C’amp-
I bell, both man and college. Though
very busy with new comers and a
j trustee meeting just ahead, he hai
time for a word to evervone and a ink
1 for ail.
At 11:00 o’clock everybody gather
|od in the auditorium of the I). Rich
; Memorial building. After he exercise?
j began, no one stayed outside except
j a number of community women who
(spread the table for the bountiful din
\ nei to follow. The college band anc!
j orchestra—and it is a good one—fur
nished music f'-r the gathering crowd
Dr. Campbell was master of every
thing. Matching him as he clipped
, here and everywhere, with a pat or
| the back for old friends, a warm ham
I clasp for the new ones, it wa? not hard
o understand he source of his powe.

deals.
Judge J. J. Parker of Charlotte
, wa.-- the i ommencement speaker. He
i< a U. S. Judge, i re-.ding ■ve a tei
| i'oiv covering five ,-ta : He spot.
■ Some t meets of th* W id ( ’is
He said that our na ion bad neglect
led *he spiritual values upon which ou>
civilization stands. Ihe solution r
n. t to lie found in ocial'sm, but in
what Cambell College w doing. A
i merica. he said, needs above all elst
the strengthening of the individual
| character. Get men to do things right
'just because they are right.
Bank failures and mod- i n conditions
..aid the judge, have been brought a
iiout because the right - >rt of train-
Img has not been done in building
! and strengthening character. Two oi
I the greatest needs of today are hon
| esty in men and chasity in women
! r t is a matter for teachers, parents
' and preachers.
( America needs vision- more met
i who can see through the external and
j -f-e spiritual values. This is the prae-
I tical work of the schools. America
I needs faith, probably, more than she
linos cha rater, morality, or vision. X<
nation has ever been built by t'm
I e'-nics or the doubters. Have faith
in M le fundementals, in your fellow
men. Twenty-five years from now Dr
I Campbell will have passed; 25 years!
from now seniors of l{>”.*( will he tea
/•hers and lawyers. It will depend up«i
them to build the sort of civilization
ye shall then have.
After the address, Dr. Campbell a
warded the diplomas and certificate?
along with a number of other awards I
and prizes. The class was one of th*
largest and brightest ever graduated
The year just closed was one of th;
most successful in the school’s life
Nearly 100 more students were en
rolled than the year before. Already
many have made reservations for next
year.
Dinner was served for everybody in
the beautiful grove on the campus
I>r. Campbell asked the students to*
ait till the visitors were served
which they did. The dinner was served
in an orderly manner, and everyone en
joyed it. It was an enjoyable, happy
occasion.
In the afternoon the alumni meeting
was held at which Prof. Tyner ot
Meredith College spoke. A ball game
followed. At night the Dramatu
Club gave a play. “Smilin’ Through.”
It. was a fine play and the best act
ing I ever saw. Dean Leslie Campbell
was especially stood, and all the othei
characters did well.
After spending a day at Campbell
College, and seeing Dr. Campbell “in
action” among his hoys and girls and
hearing his words of wisdom spoket |
with laughter and tears. I could n< I
longer wonder why his students lov<
him and why every father and mothei
who know the man would have theii
children -it at hi? feet.
Campbell College is Campbell's < "1
lege. If you like the man—and who
Po-sn't? You must also like the col
lege. So I close as I began: Campbell
College is an institution built around
a man on a foundation God himself
uncovered. —T. B. I*.

Southern Baptist
( (invention Meets
Tuesday the Southern Baptist Con
vention met in a joint session with the
Northern Baptist Convention in Wash
ington City, the first time since the de
nomination split over slavery 88 year?
ago. Dr. M. E. Dodd, president of th.
Southern, and Dr. C. C>. Johnson, pres
ident of the Northern Convention
shook hands after which the assembly
sang together “Blest be the tie that
binds” and the members clasped hand
together, thus figuraiively wiping out
the Mason and Dixon line.
The session of the Southern Baptis*
Convention just closing was well at
tended and matters of great impoi
tance were Considered. Among othe.
things, they went on record as op
posed to repeal of the 18th amend
ment and deplored the prominenci
given beer at the White House.

75-Gallon Still Seized
On last Friday within the city limits
of Raleigh officers seized a 75 gallon
still and arrested L. B. Kelly, in whose
home the still was found. Mrs. W. A
Barrett, 102 Neil Street, was alsi
arrested. The officers found 50 gallon?
of liquor in her car and in her home
Two weeks ago Mrs. Barrett was ar

were put under bond.
The Bank Situation
Bank Commissioner Hood ha* Ap
pointed S. J. Hinsdale conservator anil
liquidating agent for the Rage Ipust
Co. Mr Hinsdale has appointed G. T
Hobbs, cashier of the Zebulon branch
of the Trust Company, as liquidating
agent for the local bank.
It is understood that the plan out
lined by Mr. Hood requires this li
quidation set-up, hut that it will con
tinue only till reorganization is affect
ed. Unless one third of the depositors
I protest against the proposed plan of
reorganization, it will be perfected, and
all banks in the Page system will open
for business under the new arrange
ment about June 20.
Zebulon Business has been greatly
handicapped during the extended sus

rejoice greatly when unrestricted
banking facilities are restored.

cured to the bird, sprouted leaves and
grew to such an extent that it had to
be pruned twice a year. We first t-a

sensing his fall, rose from the quarte;
