PROF. STALVEY REPORTS A
MOST SUCCESSFUL YEAR.
Exercises Came to A Close Monday
Night With Splendid Address
By Hon. J. W. Bailey.
With the exercises Monday night
the Roxboro Graded School closet! one
of the 'most, if not. the .rpost. successful
year of its existencg. The graduating
class was composed of twelve,
seven young ladies and five young
men. The English medal - given by
the Research club and th'e Loving
cup given by the Womans' club both
went to Miss Katie Bioise Perkins.
The fallowing received diplomas:
BMisses Thelma Walton Clayton, Mathai
Sue Frederick, Mattie Elizabeth
Hatchett, Katie Eloisc Perkins, Annie
Belle Thaxton, Frances Thompson,
Nellie Wade, Mess. William Edwaid
Dowlas. Albert Winfrey Clay-,
ton, Jr., Paul Jacob Horn buckle,
Thomas Haywood Robbins, Jr., and
r.arl Graves oatterfield.
Hon. J. W. Bailey of Raleigh delivered
the address, his subject being,
".Life's Great Adjustments." Mr.
Bailey's reputation as a speaker preceded
him, as evidenced by the splendid
audience which greeted him, but
the half had not been told. Rarely
has it been-the pleasure of a Roxboro
audience to listen to a more timely
address. He has a beautiful flow of
language and his oratorical?flights
beggars description. He made his address
.largely to the young people,
the members of the graduating class,
and doubtless some of h'is A-ords of
wisdom will go with them through
tl'ieir journey of life. We wish we
were able to give a synopsis, of this
great speech, but cur word for it, it
was worth while.
The teachers for the coming year
have _all been secured and we are
proud to know the force next year
will be well up to the high standard
set by Prof. Stalvey.

TOBACCO GROWERS EVENTS.
ALTON*, VA? May 21, 1923.?Th.twenty-three

Saturday, May 12th to elect a
director for the Jobacco Growers'
Association, for the 1923 crop. Mr.;
T C. WntWinc In, wan rlrrini vi*h
out a single dissenting vote. I have
never seen a more enthusiastic meeting
and perfect harmony?truly, it
was a great day of uplift' for the
Co-Ops. We are, indeed* proud of our
director; few men could have met
and overcame the obstacles - he did
during the first year of our association.
Mr. Watkins, along with the other
officials of the association, have
paved the way for a new era for the
tobacco farmer. We can raise tobacco
now with the assurance of getting
a fair price for ourTabor. The Tobacco
Growers'-Association has put
thousands of dollars in the hands of
j the farmers they would have never
jscen. The Tobacco Growers Associaj
iion is here to stay until the end of
j time. It is a "righteous cause. It?.* is
I just as sure to win as the sun is to
rise every morning. It is deeply rootred
in the minds and hearts of thousands
of. the strongest and; loyal coift^
mon-sense farmers of Virginia and
I the Carolina?, and nothing can stop
j the cnward march. It cheers my heart

of the movement. I read the deJ

j While walking on tracks. 90 tresj
passers were killed and 62 injured
139 were killed and 91 injured while
j stealing rides or "hopping" trains

I accidents.
[ According" to a preliminary report
I of the Interstate Commerce Commis.
sion, 2,431 trespassers were killed
I and 2,845 injured on the railways oi
, the United States in 1922. Even this
heavy sacrifice of life and limb tc
carelessness is an improvement ovet
past- years. In the fifteen-year per
iod from 1901 to 1913,"deaths' and injuries
to trespassers cn Americar
railways averaged 10,736 per year.
As a part of its effort to discourl
age trespassing o'lt its property, the

teachers irf pointing out to childrer
the grave danger of this practice
A very large proportion of the tres
I passers killed and injured have hear
[school children. Wage earners, walk

Sorah Says Relief Measures Will Be
Introduced.
Idaho Senator Says These "Measures
Will be Denounced as Radical.
MANCHESTER, N. H? May 25.?
Measures looking to a solution of
the nation's domestic problems, and
more particularly the fuel and freight
-rate situations and profiteering in
the necessities of life, are in preparation
for introduction at the next session
of Congress, Senator Borah, re
oublican, Idaho, announced here tonight
in an address. *"
"It is Safe to say these measures
aril! be denounced as radical," Senator
Borah -"aid. "They may, or maynet
be found to constitute the solution
of the problem. But I venture
to say to those who may oppose them,
dtSCy -mould be ready to offer subetitute
remedies. The present conditions
are intolerable. They cannot be permitted
to continue."
Senator Borah asserted that if
-those who were excited over bolshevik
propaganda from abroad would
help remedy the situation at home,
"give the people an economic and
Juit government, and the necessities i
of .life at a price untainted by monopoiity
and extortion." there' need
not be any uneasiness about what
comes from abroad.
"It is onr Onset-tied and unsolved
domestic-problems which should give
us concern," he added, "and not the
teachings or preachings of people
5,000 miles away. Our difficulties involve
the interests and welfare of alL
We can only recover, we can only eht
cape, the dilemma by the common
i. effort and the cooperation of all ciassI
