Another year of the public schools of Reidsville has gone into history. The last of the commencement exercises were held Tuesday evening when the six members of the graduating class were given tht certificate of graduation. Magnificent in proportion and appre ciative in spirit wa3 the audience that gathered to witness the exercises, at tended by the usual high degree of in terest and within themselves of exceed ing interest, especially to those who were connected by some one interested in the school closing. The chapel was taxed to its utmost capacity by Reids ville's most fashionable and cultured populace, many being forced to stand in the outer aisles during the entire pro gramme, ine exercises irom nrst 10 last were interesting to an unusual de gree and gave ample evidence of the schools having come out of a splendid year of attainment. The programme follows: Invocation. Macctymont, Sunflower Dance, Op. 11, No. 1, Uuet-JVUss ineresa roy anu Master Thomas Hancock. Essav.

Graduates-Misses Mattie Ford, Sara Staples, Minnie Sprinkle, Marion Wo mack, Ida womacK and Mr. bamuel Hurdle, - , .The exercises were opened with a slort prayer by Rev. English, who with his customary force asked especial blessing for those who had closed their study in the graded Behools. . The members of the music class added much to the enjoyment of the evening's programme, Their parts were liberally applauded. Principal Smith delivered to Miss Sara Staples a gold chain and heart, a token of km and appreciation for most excellent work during the two successive years she was under Miss Hunt. In delivering the prize &r. Smith said he had been informed that the pupil in all her years of study had never had a bad lesson. . Miss Marion Womack read in a clear voice that carried well her essay, "Dis appearance of the Fireside." Her pa per evinced deep thought and much study. T- . Mr. Samuel Hurdle's paper was on The Institution of Chivalry," and quite well did he handle his subject. Miss Mattie Ford showed that the South had kept apace in her part of lit erature. She said all that was neces sary, and the best critic could not have conscientiously , blue-penciled her ex cellent paper. The diplomas, six in number, five of which belonged to girls, were presented by Rev. D. I. Craig, who handed the precious documents to the graduates aa their names were called. Before de livering the diplomas Mr. Craig had a few complimentary remarks to say in regard to the school. He had learned that fine results had been accomplished during the past session not an iota of friction between the school committee men and teaches and, indeed, there had not been one single thing to retard the battle of maintaining the standard of this excellent school. Superintendent Harden then intro duced the speaker of the evening, Dr. George T. Winston, president of the A. and M. College, Raleigh. Dr. Winston came forward amid just the cheering necessary to give him enthusiasm in the delivery of his mas terful address. He prefaced his re marks by alluding to Reidsville as a city of many pleasant memories to him; now it carries him back to his school days at Chapel Hill at a similar occasion when he then looked into the audience and gazed into the beautiful face of a woman from Reidsville; tonight he thought he had seen that same sweet face, but 150 years had passed since that night and doubt less he was mistaken. Twelve year3 ago he delivered the annual address at the Reidsville school commencement then in an old frame building, now in this magnificent structure. He spoke in glowing Urma ofThn iwhool, RyTnjn hut with wi enrollment of npany l.nort pupils, it meant that Reidsville poople were doing their full duty in swinging Old North Carolina from the illiterate rank she has stood for several yeais. The best part of Dr. Winston's speech was taken up with a discussion of in dustrial education. He handled his subject in his usual happy and forceful style. - It was a practical, common sense address along the lines in which Reidsville citizens are ever interested. His advice to the graduating class was wholesome and worthy of consideration. And thus the graduating class U ush ered into the busy world. It has lis tened with the keen ears of youth to the greatest sentiments in literature am1 : i nMAMti.:nnn v. 1 tn PTT Will h nlmnst rnminal onil Ihn query now in the hearts of parents and j teachers is, will it, when weijrhed is, will it, when weijrned m the balances, prove true to these the instructions which have emphasized every mother's wish? The Reidsville Graded School has performed its mission for this session. It was established some 16 years ago and has been a great power for good. It ha3 played a very important part in building up this community, making it what it is today. The term just closed was the most successful in the history of the school. Fortunate are the pa rents who can have their children under the care of Superintendent Harden and his able corps of assistants. The atten dance ths year was larger than ever before in the history of the school. Mr, Harden has done his full duty toward making such a splendid record. The committeemen recognize his ability as a capable graded school superintendent, and they will doubtless retain his ser vices as long as possible. . Mr. Harden has been most ably as sisted by Principal Smith, who has also certainly carried out his every duty to a letter. The country may be search ed from one end to the other, out a better man for the position he now holds could not be found. He is in love "i !-!' MR. AND MRS. O. L. BARRINGER, - Of Charlotte, .;, Who Are Touring the State in Their Handsome Automobile They Were in Reidsville Yesterday. with his work. Principal Smith has received several flattering offers to go elsewhere, but it is delightful news to know that he has about decided to re turn to Reidsville next session. Miss Florence Hunt has had charge of the music department and her class made rapid progress. She is a brilliant pianist and one of the most capable and successful teachers of music in the country. Her stay here has marked an epoch in the musical history of Reids ville and her presence again next year will attract many students of music to the school. In view of the fact that Miss Hunt has, at considerable expense to herself, given her talent to Reids ville she, ought certainly to have the cordial support of the people of the community in the patronage of the mu sical department, It is with genuine regret to every body to know that Miss Florence Rohr will not return to Reidsville next session. She has accepted a more luc rative position elsewhere. Her place will be hard to fill. She is a woman of ability and culture, an J has had thor ough training and remarkable success as a teacher. Miss Rohr's superiority in her work has given the high school department an enviable record. So far as is known with the excep tion of Miss Rohr, the present faculty will be retained. Every teacher has done excellent work and the board showed fine judgment in the selection of the faculty. C'lenml for Action.

The preliminary trial of Chase Price, who is charged with the murder of Kooert uaeu (pronounced Udie) as a the Gallo way farm on Dan river, about seven miles from Wentworth, two weeks ago, Was held at Wentworth on Tuesday afternoon, 'Squires J. B. Johnston and R. M. Hancock presiding. Price was represented by Messrs. Scott & Reid, and only evidence by three witnesses for the State was in troduced. The pris ner was neatly dressed in a suit of black, with tie to match, patent-leather shoes and a white negligee shirt. He looked more like a gentleman from the city than a farmer. The principal witness for the State was Mr. John M. Galloway, Jr., of Madison, whose evidence was the same as that printed in The Review a week ago, which he gave at the trial of the two Moorefild boys, who were princi pals in the fight. The prisoner's plea was "not guilty" to the charge of murder, and it appears from the result of the preliminary hearing that counsel for the defense will make a strong fight for the acquit tal of their client. i The court brought out from Mr. Gal- j loway evidence to show that whehj Price returned to the room in which the fight occurred with the pistol in hand hs fired upon Odell, h was still pounding upon one of the Moorefield boys and that the ball took effect in the , side, and that Odell was not ad vancing on defendant as he came back. Mr. Galloway didn't hear Price make any remarks as he came back. The room in which the fight took place was reserved for Mr. Galloway's use when he came down to the farm, and there he transacted business with his tenants. , Odell was still alive when witness left the house. Upon cross examination it was shown by Mr. Galloway that there was a slid ing door between the room in which the fight occurred and the one in which the pistol was secured the latter being the bed-chamber of Price. Sliding doors separated them. ' Witness thought the doors were open. When Odell struck Price he was one or two feet from the door, Price being the nea rest to door. When he whirled into the door he was gone only a few seconds before he re turned and fired. Witness saw Price just after this occurred and he was cut on the hand. He said Odell cut him, and called the attention of witness and others to it. The court asked Mr. Galloway if he had seen any knife or other weapon during or after the light, except the pistol, and witness said he saw some one using a washpan. . . . Casper Roberts was also present when difficulty arose. Price and George Moorefield went to pull Odell off Char lie Moorefield, when Odell turned on Price and began to hit him. Price then turned and went into the other room and Odell turned bqck on Charlie Moorefield. Price then returned and shot Odell. Witness thought the doors were open. Odell was shot twice. About 25 or 30 minutes after the shoot ing witness found the pistol lying on the floor, which he carried home and locked up. It had been shot twice and still contained three : cartridges. The shooting occurred - Wednesday morning at eight or nine o'clock and Odell died Thursday afternoon at about four o'clock. Cross examined by Mr. Reid, Roberts sail that Price did not strike Odell when he first went to where he and Moorefild were fighting, but merely pulled him off. When Odell turned on Price the latter backed towards the door as Odell was striking. Price had gotten up to the door sill, and when he disappeared in the other room Odell again turned upon Charlie Moorefield Price reappeared in a second or two with a pistol, and Odell turned towards Price again, who had the pistol pointed at him. As Odell dodged Price shot him in the side. The .pistol was self cocking and the shots .were quick. Price came out on the porch and his hand was cut and bleeding, and he said Odell had cut him. His shirt was split open, as well as I remember on his right side. Charlie Moorefield was also cut His PI Continual on Second Page.) Biggest Bargains Yet Men's coats worth $5.(M) for 12.00.
