AXHITCCT, RocKV htoUMT N.C THE GRADED SCHOOL OPENED MONDAY IN THE HANDSOME NEW BUILDING We present in the above view a very good picture of our handsome graded school building that has at last been completed (with the ex ception of the heating plant) and school opened Monday morning. We are not boasting when we say the building is one of the best ar ranged and prettiest in the State and vill do credit to a town much larger than Scotland Neck. The building complete and furnished cost around 24,000 The plan for the building was drawn by Mr. John C. Stout, of Rocky Mount, who surely knew what he was doing. The class rooms are well arranged, with plenty of light, ventilation and convenient cloak rooms. There are wide halls leading from the four entrances, with good stairsteps to the second story class rooms and the auditorium. The building is furnished through out with nsw desk and furniture. The heating plant is fitted up in the basement and this will be one of the best when eompleted, which will be j e 1 and rendered on that occasion, about two to three weeks. j We give below a full and complete The school auditorium is truly one , list of the teachers and the grades of the best in the State. It is seated ! they will teach: with opera chairs on an elevated floor and this gives a good view of the stage from any position in the hall. The seating capacity is be tween 500 and 600. Mr. J. J. Stroud, of Williamston, had the contract for the erection of the building and he has done his work well. It speaks for itself and shows that the building committee made no mistake when they awarded him the contract. Owing to the delay in opening school there were no formal open- j Prof. J. B.

All stories about the hardness of negroes' skulls were put into the background by two happenings yes terday. Following an altercation over a woman at a party given in the house of Henry Lewis, 36 years old, of 2402 North Alder street, Lewis, a negro, was shot four times in, the head at a range of less than five feet. After penetrating the flesh, the bullets flattened out and dropped to the floor. Lewis was taken to the Samaritan Hospital, but was soon permitted to go to his home. The man who shot him escaped. While harnessing a mule in the stable at 418 East Rittenhouse street, William Piffen, a negro, 33 years old, of the same address, was kicked in the head and knocked down. Getting to his feet, Piffen discovered the mule lying on the ground. Exami nation showed that the animal's leg was broken. Piffen was taken to the German town Hospital, where six stitches were taken in his head. The mule was shot. From North American ing or dedication of the building j by courses.

It has also in it the elements of assassination. Language is too weak tofitly characterize the prowl ing hyeanas who strike in the dark. There can be no circumstances justi fying the anonymous letter. If one is afraid to own what he writes he should not write. It is amazing to us that men (and sometimes women) will resort to this lowflung practice to gratify their spleen without ex posing their bones. No person who has been well bred vill write an an onymous letter. We make this state ment without reservation. It is im possible for a gentleman to think of such a thing and of course no lady will do what a gentleman wouid shrink from with horror. If ever under any circumstances you have been tempted to give a "piece of your mind" to anybody without signing your name to it, let us im plore you, good friend, to resist the devil, for it is a temptation that comes straight from the pit. A sober second thought will convince you of the infamy of such a proceeding, and if you have a spark of manhood, it will mantle your cheeks with shame that such a thought ever en tered your mind. Take this advice from one who would rejoice to see every young person who reads this paper make a worthy and honorable record; never write a'letter you are ashamed to sign.

It is said that eleven hundred years be- fore Christ a Chinese emperor de creed that all grape-vines be pulled up by the roots and burnt to ashes, and that China has been a sober na tion ever since. It is also a fact that Lycurgus did the same thing in Greece, that Draco in his laws made drunkenness a capital offence, and that the Carthaginians prohibited drinking in their army three hundred years before the Christian era. The testimony of history is that prohibi tion has made people more virtuous and nations more illustrious. From Biblical Recorder. TRY THIS. Overnight Cure For Cold in Head or Chest.
