Dr. Highsmith is a charming and forceful speaker, and Dover considers herself very fortunate in i being able to secure him. His services are in demand by the best schools all over the state. On this occasion there will be several choruses, some general announcements and the pesentation of the society medals for the year The commencement exercises will be concluded Friday night by a comedy "The Masonic Ring," presented by the High School. This little play is one of the most delightful and thorough ly enjoyable of allthe excellent com mencement plays that have been pre sented here, and that is a sufficient recommendation for it, Wednesday afternoon, May 27, at 4 p. m., Dover and Kinston will engage in a' battle royal for base ball honors. Both sides will be well prepared for 'rtJiSlSheet of Water Four Feet High and stars of the strong Epworth team, will form the batteries for Kinston and Dover respectively.

CHARLES R.THOMAS CONFIDENT Every Reason To Believe That He' Has Received the Largest j Number of Votes. i Today the Executive Committee of the Third Congressional District will meet in Coldsboro for the purpose cast in the recent primary for the sel ection of a congressman from this district. While the outcome of this gathering is a matter of speculation, the morel conservative opinions are that Hon. ! Charles R. Thomas of New Horn will j be found to have the highest number' of first choice votes and will be de- j clared to be the nominee. Since the primary was held, a week j ago last Saturday, reports of all varieties j have filled the air. Each candidate; claimed the victory and the reader was confused. Now the situation has; narrowed down. It is almost a fore-j gone conclusion that the nominal! n j lies bet ween Hon. Charles R. Thomas of; New Bern and Hon. Ceorge E.
