According; to the returns from
Saturday’s primary, a second pri
mary will probably be necessary to
determine the nominee for two
places on the Democratic ticket.
The vote in the senatorial race
resulted in no one of the three
candidates having a majority, and
the two high men, C. C. Canaday
| and F. H. Brooks will doubtless go
into a second primary along with
| J. M. Turley and Chas. A. Creech,
I the two high men for sheriff. The
o cial returns are not complete as
we go to press, O’Neals township
not having filed with the board of
elections. The vote without O'Neals
stood as follows for senator: Can
aday 172f>; Brooks 1546; Grady
546.
Of the six candidates seeking
the nomination for sheriff, J. M.
Turley and Chas. A. Creech poll
ed the biggest vote which, without
the returns from O’Neals, stands
as follows: Turley 1,133; Creech,
958.
Considerable interest was mani
fested in the board of education,
four men coming out in opposition :
to the present board, which is
composed of seven members. The
opposition was shown to be of no
considerable strength, the mem
bers of the present board being
nominated by an overwhelming
majority. The men nominated are
Dr. J. J. Young, of Clayton; W.
H. Call, of Selma; B. B. Adams,
of Four Oaks; P. B. Charmblee, of
O’Neals; W. G. Wilson, of Wilson’s
Mills; C. G. Holt, of Princeton,
and J. W. Woodard, of Beulah.
Fourteen candidates for places
on the county board of commis
sioners were in the primary Sat
urday and the vote resulted in
three of the present members being
r-nominated and two new men.
The members of the old board re
nominated are: C. A. Fitzgerald,
of Micro, present chairman of the
board; R. U. Barbour, of Benson;
K. H. Richardson, of Wilders. The
new nominees are D. B. Oliver, of
Pine Level, who has served on the
board, and J. Rufus Creech, of
Smith-field, route 2.
Two new representatives in the
general assembly were nominated,
these being Sam T. Honycutt of
this city, and Preston Woodall of
Benson. There were five candi
dates for the house, H. R. Jones

Dr. Carver Preaches
To Young Graduates
Tells Them In His Baccalaur
eate Sermon To Make Place
In Their Lives For Prayer.
In spite of the heavy downpour
of rain Sunday evening the Meth
odist church was practically filled
to hear the baccaiarcate sermon
preached by Dr. W. O. Carver, in-; ;
stretor in Bible at the Baptist
Seminary at Louisville, Ky.
Dr. Carver spoke especially to
the young people of the gradua
tng class, and preached a spler.l
did sermon on Christian living. At
the beginning of his sermon he
paid a tribute to teachers, and told
the boys and girls that if they were
thinking of taking up teaching as
a vocation they must be prepar
ed to pay the price in servee. Dr.
Carver also spoke of the strides
North Carolina is making in edu
cation, stating that this state is
now leading all the rest in school
building and progress.
lhe speaker reviewed the life
of Chrst and' told of how he grew
into the strongest character the
world has ever known. Jesus’ re
sponsibility for the support of his
younger brothers and sisters help
ed him to develop a
dependable character, and his habit
of daily communication with his
heavenly Father through prayer
helped him to make right decisions
at every turn in his life. “.Wlh-at
are you going to do with your
life?” Dr. Carver asked the mem
bers of the graduatng class. “You
cannot build a great life without
the habit of prayer. If you will
take your problems to Jesus, just
as he took his to his heavenly
father, he will lead you into right
decisions.” He urged the young
people to make time for prayer in
their lives, and always seek God’s
counsel when problems confront
The speaker was introduced by
Rev. S. L. Morgan, pastor of the
Baptist church. Rev. D. H. Tuttle
offered prayer for the class and
1 Rev. Chester Alexander of the
Presbyterian church read the
Scripture lesson. Features of the
service were a violin solo, “Simple
j Aveu,” by Miss Agnes Johnson, a
i vocal solo, “Open the Gates of the
Temple,” by Mr. A. M. Calais, and
an anthem, “Recessional” by the
choir. The benediction was pro
nounced by Rev. D. E. Earnhardt

Kenly Senior Class
Urges Fifteen Seniors To Con

Higher Institutions; Sever

KENLY, June 4.—The com
mencement exercises of the Kenly
school came to a close on Friday
morning with the graduating ad
dress delivered by Dr. M. C. S.
Noble, Jr., of the State Department
of Education, and with the pre
sentation of the diplomas to the
following members of the gradu
ating class by Chairman Paul D.
Grady of the school board: Hazel

sie Warren Lawrence, Frederick
Grondincourt Kannan, Mildred Out

Robert Alvin Rowe, Frank LaFor
?st Skinner, Cretta Mae Sullivan,
Grace Olivia Watson, William Les
ter Wratson.
The Charles William Edgerton
memorial award went to Mary
Elizabeth Pittman for having rank
ed highest in scholarship during
the four years of high school. Miss
Mary E. Wells presented certifi
cates of admission into high school
to the members of the seventh
grade who had passed the county 1
examinations, and G. T. Whitley,
principal, read the scholarship j
honor roll for the grades. Alberta :
Radford and Mildred Howell were I
presented with prizes for having j
made the most improvement in
music during the year.
Dr. Noble was presented to the
audience by Mr. Grady, and spoke
on the opportunities of high school
graduates. “Every boy and girl on
this platform will be wasting real
resources if they can continue
their education and do not do so,”
said he, speaking of the members
of the graduating class. Dr. Noble
is engaged in doing research work
for the State Department of Edu
cation and gave some interesting
statistics showing the growth of
the state school system within re
recent years. The 5,000 white
teachers in 1900 have become in
1928, 19,000 in number. In 1928,
about 600,000 school children were
enrolled against 200,000 in 1900.
In this period of time school prop
erty has increased from one mil
lion dollars to over eight hundred
millions. In 1914-1915, five vehi
cles carried 130 pupils to consoli
dated schools, while today three
thousand auto trucks transport ap
proximately one hundred thousand
children to these schools.
As proof that high school grad
uates belong to a select group, he
stated that out of every one thous
and pupils entering school in the
United States only 634 finished the
elementary grades, and that only
139 graduate from hi£h school.
Continuing he said that only elev
en per cent go to college and only
two per cent finish college courses.

Featuring the comfmencement
program on Thursday evening were
the class night exercises presented
in play form. The popularity of
| this type of exercises in the com
| munity was attested by the fact
that long before the beginning of
the performance all standing room
was taken. The play entitled, 1
‘Youth’s Quest,” was written by |
Mrs. J. M. Woolard, Jr. She was
assisted in staging it by the mem
bers of the school faculty and by
Mrs. J. J. Edgerton, as accompan
ist. These exercises with their
beautiful stage effects, the rather
elaborate costumes, and the con
structive thought quite equalled if
they did not surpass similar pre
sentations in previous years.

a background of Spanish moss and

The death of Dr. Noguchi, a
courageous Japanese scientist, is
a great loss to the world.
Backed by the Rockefeller In
stitute, Noguchi was a leader in
the war against disease, and pov
erty and misery bom of disease.
Yellow fever killed him at last,
as he sought for more knowledge
in the African yellow fever reg
Some bronze bandit on horse
back should give his high place to
Noguchi, whose memory really de
serves honor.
America is the country of op
portunity, and Milwaukee is on©
of the best American cities. All
over America are opportunities,
visible to the majority when it is
too late to seize them. What every
body knows is not so valuable.
For instance, consider the baby
carriage business that C. J. Smith
managed in Milwaukee up to 1887.
Fifty thousand dollars would
have bought it. A. O. Smith
inherited it and made bicycle parts.
In 1904, the A. O. Smith Cor
poration was formed and L. R.
Smith, grandson of C. J., took
charge. His father put $>85,000 and
others put $95,000 more into the
corporation.
L. R. Smith did new things,
making frames for automobiles*
keeping up with the times, and
ahead of them.
Time passed, and in 1923 J. E.
Uihlein advised this writer and
other friends, “buy stock in the
A. O. Smith Corporation. A very
able man, with new' ideas is run
ning it.”
The stock sold then at $13 a
share. A little later it sold for
$525 a share, and five shares were
given for one.
The baby carriage business that
you could have bought in 1887 for
$50,000, or in 1923 for $1,300,000,
now sells on the Stock Exchange
at $40,000,000.
The ablest American manufac
turers could learn about mass pro
duction and labor saving in L. R.
Smith’s plants.
One of his mills, making 35,000
automobile frames a week for
Chevrolet, using marvelous auto
matic machinery, does with 200
