ROSMAN HSCli ENDS
YEAR'S FINE WORK
On Tuesday evening of this Wi-.-ic
y t lie Rosman high scho it dosed ics
l'J2ti-27 term. It is thought ?'
, many that this has keen, in mat :>?
respects, the crowning year of thj
school's history.
Large crowds were in att endunc
at each of the public* recitals, pi -.,4
ruins ,jivon, and the other meetings
held during the closing exercists,
and it was evident front radiant
faces of this eager throng of patrons
that they were proud of their school.
Of eourSe it would not in anywise
l>e comparative of the character of
the people and patrons of the Kos
man school if their institution should
dp Other than well. They have the
moral backing, the mental power and
financial ability that it takes to
make a good school. Not only that,
but they have the children with
strong bodies and large mental pos
sibilities. No community has a
more choice set of boys and girls,
. young men and women, and Rosman
is destined to become famous for
the truly good men and women that
it shall send forth into the \vorld.
Some of them are tp be lawyers,
some judges, some legislators, con
gressmen, governors, merchants, and
some are to be farmers. Last but
by lio means least, some are to be
preachers that sTiall proclaim the
message of life eternal to the utter
most parts of the world. Rosman is
indeed a plant of human life, from
which shall be transplanted the ten
der plants into the life of people ev
rywhere.
The play given Saturday evening
was a great success. The sermon
Sunday morning by Rev. O. L. Simp
son was one of culture and inspira
tion. The program on Monday ev
ening was appreciated by the large
audience, and the literary address by
Rev. Jessie R. Owen was a master
piece of oratory and inspiration.
Vcdals were awarded and diplomas
delivered to a large number of
young men and women. Prof. Wes
singer, in a few well chosen words,
informed the audience of the exact
linancial standing and the future
hop.- of the school. .

SEVERALNEGROES ;
PLACED IN JAIL
Arrest of several negroes Saturday :
night caused quite a lot of excite- j
mint, and as a result of the general 1
melee sdnie half a dozen negroes
were locked up in the county jail. j
The trouble started, it is said", when j
Eck Sims and Policeman Freeman j
went to arrest John Allen and Mose ?
Kemp for driving cars while under ;
the influence of whiskey, and oper
ating cars with no license tags on ;
them. j
It is said John Allen escaped from ,
Buncombe county chain gang j
where he was serving sentence.
When he and Kemp were brought to
the square, it is said, Rcna Allen,
John's wife, accompanied th? offi
cers and the men. When the start
from the car to the jail was at- :
tempted, it is said, the Allen woman j
"began abusing the officers and at
tempted to interfere with theni. Of
ficer Sims used his flash light as a
billy on the Allen woman's- head be
fore she could be persuaded to leave .
them alone. T. B. Summey and !
Yancey McOrary were sumoned" to
assist the officers in placing the
bunch in jail, for the Allen woman
was locked up at the same time.
Later Mose's wife and mother
came to town and started trouble, it
is said. They were accompanied by I
a negro man. As a result of this inv
terference these three- were locked
up. In the jail, it is sajd, the ne
groes started another uproar, and
Deputy Sheriff Clarence Fisher as- 1
sisted in quelling and quieting them, j
Mrs. J. M. Sumerel of Gay Court, S.
C., Mr. Mansel Sumerel of the Pres
byterian College, Clinton, S. C.,'
