Jl IVLUl 63 Four Nights Crowded With Interest ing Features That' Draw and Inspire Large Audiences For the past several days and sights, concluding tin Tuesday even ing, when the curtain vil rung down on the final chapters marking the Nashville Eigh School closing, local interest hat centered in these dally and nightly events, which have fur- . nished a great amount of pleasure nd instruction to the large audi ences who have filled the spacious ' new school building auditorium prac tically to iU capacity. , ,The first chapter was written on Friday evening last, when the pri mary students of the music depart ment gave a very creditable musical entertainment, ajr these young par ticipant in theevening's programme reflecting great credit upon them selves and their instructress,' Mrs. A. A. Ross. ' 4 , On this same evening the program was divided into three parts, the see- end being given over to the primary department, the student body pre senting a very pleasing musical fairy play, "Midsummer Eve," more than a score of young people being em ployed in the presentation. Their thorough training, fascinating drills, catchy songs and quaint costumes as they moved about upon the .dimly lighted stage representing a forest scene in which real trees and. shrub bery were used, the . "Queen's Throne" and many attendants made for a real enjoyable feature play. The third division of the program was taken up in the presentation of a four-act mythical play, "The Gold en Apple," rendered by the students of 4he Grammar Department About forty young people played well the parts assigned and when- the scenes of the play ended, the Wj-e audience "wo" fr--" - ci en even- oV.oek in tie Capiat' Church, the spacious auditorium and Sunday School department was filled almost to capacity to hear the able discourse of Rev. J. M. Ormond, of Trinity, Durham, who preached the baccalau reate sermon to the graduating class. The .discourse was indeed a gem and brimful - of deepest thought and abounding in eloquence. A special musical programme by a joint choir of the local "churches , greatly en fcnnred tha iffniresriveness and beau ty of a service of a highly inspira tional nature. Ceremonies were resumed on Mon day evening when the Class Day Ex ercises featured the entire evening's programme pnd in which the follow ing young ladies, ' members of the graduating class participated: .

The people are apt to overlook at the eoming June Primary the selec tion of a man to fill the most import ant position. . Agriculture is our most important industry a. great majority of our people are engaged in it and all the people' are depen dent and interested in its access. Our greatest problem today" is the "County Problem" bow to make better crops, get better prices and better homes, schools and so on. We stand fifth In the value of crops, but ' after we produce this wealth it largely goes to enrich other States. This condition must be changed and our people must prac tice a system of fanning that meant living at home and that will keep the thousands of dollars here that go to buy what we can and ought to pro duce on our own farms. ' We need at the bead of the Agri cultural Department able leadership a man of vision, of ability and above all a man who has himself act the example and pointed the way out of the wilderness and show how to do it If the next Commissioner is to have the influence and ' leadership that he onght t have be must have the confidence of the farmers. He must first be a success himself and he must know agricultural condition! and problems of the. various sections of the State."- ' V ",; I would like to believe that we have such a farmer in the State and I would like,so to speak, see the peo ple go out to the farm and take the next Con ! " r from behind the plow hanu.cjs, I want to' see a real live dirt farmer made Commissioner v ....... ... i i.ave been on . .in several times. He Is a success, grows crops of all kinds, raises live stock, lives at home and practices a system of farming that if more farmers of the State would follow would, in a few years, put North Carolina in the very first rank of ail the States. Mr. Latham is in the prime of life, full of energy end enthusiasm, a business man and farmer a man who is plain of speech and action, who says what he thinks and does what he thinkn. is right and best to be done, regard less of consequences. ' Mr. Latham has aleo had sufficient Legislative experience, having served his section in the State Senate. I have had opportunity, being a mem observe Mr. Latham's work on the Board -(he having been a member for thirteen years). He understands well the needs of the Department and he knows well the farm problms of he State. : Community life and co operation is an important factor in rural development, and Mr. Latl.am has been very til. ful in promoting all activities that would help and build up his eonir.i unity. v Another thing that impressed me 5.T,o,jt l'r.

Nebraska Newspaper Praises Congressman Edward W. Pou Praise of the highest kind is being heaped upon Congressman Pou in the matber of the speech he made on the adjusted compensation bill which 1( now the law. " Congressman Edgar Howard, Representative from Ne braska, is the president and editor of the Daily Telegram, of ' Columbus, Neb., and he frequently sends hi; newspaper an editorial letter. In his issue of May 22, Mr. Howard has one of these which he devotes to Con gressman Poo's speech, incorporating the entire speech as part of his letter, From that there Is quoted concerning Congressman Pou and his adjusted compensation speech the following - "There were several fine speechet in favor of passing the soldier bill over the. veto when it was laid be fore the House. " I rather believe the intense moments of the occasion ap peared while Congressman Pou of North Carolina - was . speaking. He lost a son in. battle in France. His fine face was tense while be talked. His lips were all a-tremble, and tears glistened on his cheeks. : And yet he spoke with, a quiet dignity . not to have been expected from one who was representing what he regarded as a Presidents insult to all the splen did ex-service men who were associat ed with his fine boyin the lata World War. Most of the member of the house knew that Pou would speak a message as if from the lips of his own sacrificed boy, and that ' knowledge appeared to have been mysteriously communicated to the multitudes in the galleries because when Pou arose to tpeak the silence in ball and gal leries was profound. ; Twice during hit brief talk a wave of applause swept over the floor and the .galleries, but quickly everybody appeared to regret interrupting a splendid father who was pleading for justice is be half of the millions of mate of bit own lost soldier boy. The speaker waa allowed only five brief minutes, but he made the most of that brief period. . ; ''.- : . 'The vast Hall of Representatives waa hushed when Pou finished, but it seemed the hush of preparation for the magnificent-tribute of. applause which followed. I saw tears on the faces of many members near me, and I (." v woitk i i i f r "'' ' v'r- One of my feow members, who is t very devout Methodist, feslingly anu audibly exclaimed, 'Amen' again and again. For my part, having been de nied a request for one short minute of itme in which to speak my own sentiment of protest against the veto message, all that remained fori. me was to breathe a silent prayer that the God of Justice would permit me to make the protest of the splendid Pou serve as my very own." ' Mr. Joe Privetto Meets Hor rible Death at Spring Hope. , People throughout Nash County especially in the vicinity of Spring Hope, were shocked on Saturday last when news reached ' them that Mr. Joseph B. Privette, prominent citizen und farmer) of Mannings township and one of the owners of the Spring Hodb Power Plant at Webb's Mill, had met a horrible death about noon on that day by, being , caught by a piece of shafting in the mill; his body hurled around the rapidly revolving shaft and torn in two within less time than it takes to tell it. ',' ' From what can be learned of the unfortunate accident it seems that Mr. Frivette was simply looking d'ver the plant and was standing near the whirling shaft. Mr. Gupton, the .foreman, had scarcely warned Mr. Privette of his danger in being too close to the shaft, when his clothing was suddenly caught by a coupling and the unfortunate man ias literal ly torn in pieces. As his body was hrown over the shaft his feet struck Mr. Gupton who was knocked down and narrowly escsped serious in jury. ' .

The Primary June 7th will settle certain questions of public policy questions of real importance. !...Tbo first of thooo Is tho oo. tioa of tax. . Iand taxes have been steadily ris ing in this State for ten years. The increase amounts to tlirty per cent a year every year for eleven years. And under the present system there is certainty that they will continue to rise.. I bold that . land i bearing more than its just share of the bur den of taxes, and that we must so change the system as to shift the bur den. My opponent frankly defends the present system. I am opposed to any taxes on land or property, for State purposes. I hold that when the State ex empted from taxation more than 1116,000,000 worth of stocks in for eign corporations it did a great Tong. On this subject my oppon ent says nothing. THIS ONE ACT ADDED MORS THAN A MILL:: : AND A HAIF CF DOLLARS TO TAXES ON LANDS. It took t t much from the taxes of the weaU" y and put it on pro; rty mainly kn.l. The election June 7;h will determ ine whether or not L.nd taxes will continue to increase. . - II. Tho socob4 ootioa U tho po V'.icml coatroL . So long as we have machine con r 1 hy and f - rrecially favored in- Te r-nple r i s t: ? nade was made in spite, of the rulijig lowers. Machines operate - in politics br neans of money; and they pay the money back at the public expense. Machines are maintained for the benefit of a few. ' They givs the people only what they dare not re fuse. ' ' ' ' , We must put an end to this sort of hing or the people will lose' confl dene in the Democratic Party. Office-holders have no right to 'ditate to voters of the State by secretly nominating candidates for office, for two, three and four terms in advance I am in favor of the Australian Ballot and of court review of elec tion returns. The Australian Ballot vU give the voters secrecy in voting md, will make the purchaser of voter iifncult and will tend to put an end -o the power of money in polities.
