He spoke mainly to the graduates and the pupils of the school, telling them of the ad vantages of an education and urging them to grasp every opportunity to acquire a thorough education in all lines; Mr. 'Williams speech consumed but a short while but during that period he had the rapt attention of every person in the auditorium. Short talks were made by G. W Rhodes of the Falling Creek, Wayne county, school who was a former pupil of the Polloksville school and H. G .Robinson of Forestville. Tonight the exercises were in the - hands of the pupils of the school and they gave an entertainment which was thoroughly enjoyed by all.

BROTHER IS IN BALTIMORE HAND CAR RUNS INTO LOG TRAIN Two Men Painfully Injured lm Peculiar Accident Near Swansboro.

I rank Hewitt of this place and a gentleman whose home is ai Rocky Mount. N. C, but whose name could inn lie learned at the time ol hi- r port , were painfully injured mar hire las night when a hand car on which they were riding, collided with a carload of logs which had been left standing on one of the log road-. 1 he men had been out surveying and were returning to town as f.ist as they could propell the car. 1 he car of logs had been hit standing on the track and in the darkness the two men did not see it until they were a few feet away. 1 heir car was moving so swiltly that to jump would probably have proven fatal and there was nothing to do but to run into it. The small car struck t lie logs with terrific force and the occupants were thrown against these and badly hurt. They were brought to town and medical aid was rendered and it is not thought that their injuries will prove serious. Ouarterly meeting was held here last night and it was well attended. The services were interesting and thoroughly enjoyed by all present. Captain Clarence ISloodgood has just completed an addition to his com modious home and has repainted the entire luiilding. t amain Bloodirood is the owner ol the gas boat ( banner which is operated between this town and .New ISern.

The local physicians have vaccinated a number of pc.-sons during the past few days and "sore arms" are much in evidence. 1 he lumbermen of this section are greatly worried over the recent de crease of a dollar and a quarter a thous and feet in the price of logs.
