Eytretts High School cloJed one ot |
:j iti/Wst ycarii work last week with
,j an attractive program that included
... Thursday night, Friday a.-d Friday
" i night. One of the main fentures was
* the graduating exercises and picnic
i dinner on Friday. The graduating
class sang "Onward Christian Bol
dier.V and Rev. W. O. Bigg.s of Rob
ersonville led in prayer. Supt. C. L.
Daniels introduced Mr. K. J. Peel, who
made' a short speech on the housing
need of the Everetts School. He made
reference to the comparatively recent
• time when they only had one room
and many thought it extravagance to
build an extra room; yet the house has
grown to a four room house and still
it" is much too small now. Mr. Peel
used some startling figures in com
paring the expenditures, for education
■ t and for pleasures. He made the state
ment that the people of the United
States spent) more money last year
for the unnecessary things of life
than had been spent for public educa
tion since the United States has boen
discovered. Mr. Peel's speech was a
masterful appeal, a powerful effort to
_ arouse the people to the need of bet
ter educational facilities.
The Superintendent then introduced
Mr. A. V. Joyner of Williamston, who
made a fine address upon "The Mak
ing of Good Citizenship." He empha
sised the wisdom of training the boys
ami Rirls of today -who are to make
the men and women of tnniyrrow. The
prcaUest task of any people -is tb*
training of its IwyiT'aiul giiß, lie
showed how too often in the attempt
to raise better crops and improve our
-- stock the primary function of raising
better citizens was lost sight of. He
called attention to the wisdom of edu
cating body as well as mind. The fact
that when we make a careful inves
tigation of our young men from 21
to 30 years of age we find one third
of them unfit physically is-cause t'oi "
alarm. The fact that when the cull
for service cam eand the challenge te
'.he young manhood of America wa
tunded so many of our youth failed
pass a successful physical .exami
*n«tion shows the necessity of truin
iliyner especially emphasized the de
iAg the body as well as the mind. Mr.
, . sVructive influence of the moving pic
tut e show and its tendency to cheapen
morals. One of the greatest thing?
that should be taught children Is now
U> live among others, the gospel of
' give and take.
After the address the Superinten
dent called the graduating -class to
the platform ami Mr, A. J. Manning,
.' the County Superintendent, delievered

following: Mary Faulkner, Kuth Bur

The interest and cooperation of the
citizens in and around Everetts wa.'
shown in a splendid dinner which in
eluded barbecue, brunswick stew,
chicken, ham and everything known
in the broad and cake line. The day
proved to be one of great pleasure to
everyone present.

WILLIAMSTON WINS
FROM EVERETTS, 9-1
(By A. Scrub.)
It will be remembered that some
time ago our neighboring town of
Everetts sent a group of representa
tives down here and defeated the local
team at baseball, on our own grounds,
anil in ten innings to the tune of 14
to 11. Last Saturday afternoon quite
a different affair was staged in Everett
and after the game hat I dragged along
for seven sessions the Williamstonians
were leading, and the score was 9 to
1! The game did not start until five
o'clock and hence had to be called at
the end of the seventh on account of
darkness.
The feature of the day for William
ston was the all round fielding and
teamwork of the entire team. De
spite the roughs uneven ground, which
put "bad hops" on the old pill, only
P three errors were chalked up against
the locals anil one of these could lie
credited to tha umpire. George 1).
Wynne, pitched another good game,
[ letting Everett down with five hits,
three of which were scratches. Ray
mond Taylor led in the stickwork,
getting two doubles out of four trys.
Charles Biggs was a close second with
a double and a single and Harry Clin
ton James landed for a couple of
singles. Every man on the team
gat at least one hit. For Everett, the'
sole feature of the day was the um
' piling. Their lone run was presented
them by this official and the game was
p continually marred by protests on his
decisions. The Everett team nttflKoil
a good chance to score in the sixth,
when they had throe men on the paths
, with none out. However, a fast dou
ble play tind a lucky catch spoiled
everything. V' ,

ONE NEGRO KILLED;

Hood Edwards, local negro, is lying ]
at the point of death, George Smith,
another negro, was killed last night
at McConnelly's station on the Wash- i
ingtonintfton & V'andemere and an un- i
known negro was found in an un- i
conscious condition near Latham's |
Cross Bonds yesterday afternoon, as
the result v( three separate attacks 1
which occurred in and near Washing
ton over Sunday. 1
Hood Edwards, who runs al store |
near the outskirts of the city, was i
, entering his home Saturday night,
' when two negroes sprang upon him, >
one of them shooting him through the \
breast. The negroes made their es- ,
I cape. When neighbors rushed to the i
house Edwards was found lying on the ,
i floor, his clothing saturated with blood ,
A bad bruise had been inflicted on ,
his forehad, suggested the theory that 
' he had been struck before the bullet
had been fired; , The attackers made
, their escape.
George Smith was shot and killed |
by James McCoy at McConnelly's sta- ,
, tion last night as the result of a dis- |
pute over a gambling game. He died ;
almost instantly. McCoy made his ,
escape and is believed to have caught
the Norfolk Southern train at Choeo
i winity. The sheriff has wired the- po
' lice of neighboring towns to be on the
lookout fcr him.
I An unknown negro was found un
. conscious near Latham's Cross Roads
yesterday. It is believed that he had
I been struck violently over the head
, with a brick. His skull was crushed

he will recover. Robbery is believe^

THE BURDEN OF ARMY
AND NAVY MORE THAN
fi NATIONAL EDUCATION
Seveu hundred, cixty-two million dol
lars in what elementary, high school,
and junior college education— public
and private, church and state—cost
the people i> fthe United States in
1918, the date of the last authorita
tive information.
Seven hundred twenty-seven mil
lion dollars is what Congress is now
proposing to spend on our army and
navy during the ensuing year.
Nearly four hundred millions was
voted by the House the other day to
the navy alone, and the advocates of
disarmament were able to rauster'only
twelve votes against it. The disarma
ment amendment were pitchforked
out without ceremony. Doubtless the
army appropriation of three hundred
thirty-one millions will be railroaded
through in like fashion.
Pagan ideals
Manifestly it is not yet possible for
peace and practical wisdom to lie
down together like the lion and the
lamb of Isaiah's sream. Not yet pos
sible .after two thousand years of
Christian civilization—think of that,
if you please!
What we call civilization is still
a beak and talon, tooth and claw
struggle for survival and supremacy
among men and nations'alike.
Harmony within groups and fair
play between groups is still an un
learned lesson of life.
The peace on earth announced to
the Bethlehem shepherds is still an
iridescent dream. Or so our practical
statesmen say.
Maybe so. And not impossibly,
Chtrstendem may crumble into dust
before men and nations can learn the
supreme folly of war.
The Japanese are calmly certain
that what they are witnessing today
is the passing of Europe into the
scrap heap of history.
The burden of taxes for wars past,
present, and future is crushing the
last remains of life out of Europe and
the situation looks hopeless.
And hardly less hopeless in Amer
ica. Although we caa play the game
longer than any other people on earth,
the end is not certain at last.
Ike Mmm Must Move 
-Shere is small comfort in th« fart
that our federal taxes average $270
a year per family;
on account of past wars—interest on
war debts, pensions, vocational and
health rehabilitation for soldiers and
sailors, and the like; that s6(i goes for
direct expenditures on the army and
navy, and that only sl6 of it goes for
government functions —salaries and
public works, and that only $2.70 of
it is spent on health, education and
agriculture!
" The nary costs us more year by
year than all our churches of every
name, sect and sort —more this year
by some fifty million dollars.
The army costs us more than all
our colleges, technical schools, and
universities, church and state —more
by two hundred million dollars.
A single first-class battleship costs
us more than the teacher training
schools of the whole United States—
from ten to fifteen millions more.
So far in the world's history culture
and the curse of war haev been one.
And congresses and parliaments are
never likely to weigh one against the
other unles sthe multitude in every
country begin to organize an intelli
gent—not to say Christian—revolt a
gainst swords and spears, in behalf
of ploughshares and pruning hooks.
Our colleges must lead the way—
and above all, our church colleges.
