There were on:.; m tardies ’throughout the eat re school, Kurins the past t\v© weeks the ter.ch.crs ' have made 284 visits in tr.'e ccnnmii:’ . Thb is an excel lent way to tic up 'he home and the school. Sometimes we set aside one chapel program for a song service at which time we learn new songs. Recently, we haw learned the following new songs: "Praise for Peace." "O God, Beneath Thy Guiding Hand” and "Robin Redbreast." Ail these songs are found in "The Golden Book of Favorite Songs” which we use in chapel. We like the book very much. It is a rare primary and grammar grade now that is not. decorated to reflect the Hallowe'en season. This is a very worthwhile practice but is not so common in the high schools. We responded to the governor's proclamation by setting aside last week as fire prevention week. Fire drills were held in our school and Mr. Eddleman’s grade put on a fire prevention program last Thursday. Th06e from the seventh grade tak ing part on this program were Ja nett Morrison and W. N. Jones who told us during the year ending December 31.1927 that North Caro lina lost 256 lives by fire and prop erty valued at $5,744,077 was de stroyed. Our per capita fire loss is $1.91 as against a national average of $4.40 but that is too high for such an enlightened and progressive citizenship as ours. Miss Minnie Blanton's fifth grade had charge of the "Columbus Day” program October 12. Hubert More head told us the story of Columbus and Nell Morehead read a poem about Columbus. It has been 436 years since Columbus discovered America. Current event clubs have been or ganized in the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grades. Clyde Williams is president of our Athletic association; Ben Champion Is vice president and Tommie Weav er is secretary-treasurer. Miss White whose home room is the sixth grade is leading our chapel music and she sings delightfully too. Our boys and girls are still in terested in the Junior Red Cross work. The first regular Red Cross meeting was held Monday at which time splendid reports were given by each grade of Red Cross work done since school started. Mrs. Wil liam Osborne. Mrs. Plaster, Miss Hardy, Miss Bogwell and Mr. Eddle man reported 100 per cent member ship in the Red Cross. Thirteen grades are organized with a mem bership of 357. Torming jneaiin naous, is uk name of a play that Miss Nolan s fourth grade presented in chapel Tuesday morning. The entire grade took part, in this play but those who had the leading speaking parts fol low: Doctor, Hal Whisnant; the sick boy, Tom Kale; mother. Ionise Wtaitener; fairy, Eva Lane Jones. Nettie Taylor announced the pro gram. Thla program proved very enjoyable. We wish to thank the patrons of the school for the lovely flowers they have sent to us from time to time. These flowers have helped us make our class rooms and auditor ium more attractive. Th* following ministers have con ducted our devotional exercises since school started: Rev. T. B. John son, Rav. Rush Padgett, Dr. Zeno Wail, Mr. II. N, McDiarnikl and Mr Horace Eaeom.

For while ..uch an annbur.rcmerst would undoubtedly have caused considerable constcrna lica ahd worry a week or ten day-: ago, it caused scarcely a ripple in ryular Democraticcircles here to day Coupled svi.ii- this nnnomioement v,a.» nitcii rr :o the effect that Dr. A. J. Barton, ot the board oi morals and temperance ‘for the Southern Baptist church, would abb make an : hsi-Simth address in Raleigh oh Monday -night'. October tin. but lit tle or no significance is attached to tills aiincr.cernent. N nt l mlcr-K't inuiu'U, It U not to be inferred, however, tiiat the Democratic campaign lead ers are minimiziEs the influence of Senator Simmons nor the sig nificance of the fact that he is going to make a set speech in Raleigh-, which .will be broadcast by radio over the entire state. Neither do they fail to realize that this speech will undoubtedly help the anti Smith Democrats to hold in line several thousand votes that other wise would be likely to come back .into the regular Democratic fold | were it hot for. Simmdhs' stand, and influence. But. this announcement, has not come as a surprise. For since his I long speech In New Bern a, week ago, 1 introducing Frank McNinch it has | been apparent to a number that Senator Simmons would from now | on probably tak' a more and more ■ active part in the anti-Smith cam 1 paign. especially as it became in ; creasihgly apparent that the move ment was doomed to abject failure if he did not come to its rescue. Thus many see in the Senator's de cision to enter the lists an adminis cision to enter the lists an admis Smith eaders that they are in due straits and have already called up all their reserves. Started Too Late. Nor is it believed that this inten sive last-minute campaign by the anti-Smith forces, even with the aid of Senator Simmons, will be produc tive of many new votes for the anti-Smith cause, since indications are that the majority of voters have already made up their minds how they are going to vote, so that the alignment is already pretty well drawn. The main task before the campaign chiefs now is to get the vote out. Consequently the cam paign chiefs feel not much is to be gained by either side from now on in the various precincts and among the individual voters that will count the most. So they are not greatly alarmed at the anti-Smith speaking program, even with Senator Sim mons at the head of it. And to a limited extent the anti Smith Democrats take a similar view only that they think this intensive speaking campaign will help preserve enthusiasm and keep their solidarity until election day. But Dr. John B. Wright, vice chairman of the or ganization in North Carolina, stated recently that the ar.ti-Snuth forces were not attempting to make any new Votes—that they were satisfied with what, they had and were only interested in holding these together. Regulars In Majority. But the regular forces are con vinced that the ariti-Smith Demo crats are still in the minority, and that of these the leaderswill never be able to get, a sufficient number to vote for Hoover to turn the bal ance in favor of the Republican na tional ticket. The fact that Senator Simmons has consistently refused to go farther than to refrain from vot ing for Smith and has at; no time urged anyone to vote for Hoover is especially encouraging to the reg ular and disappointing to the more radical anti-Smith leaders who arc urging their followers to go all the way and vote for Hoover. So unless Senator Simmons should do the unexpected and at the last minute urge the anti-Smith Demo crats to vote for Hoover, rather than merely refrain from voting for Smith, and this is regarded as very improbable -the regulars feel that they have little cause for alarm from now on, NOTICE OF SERVICE BV I’l'BLI CATION. i In the Superior Court before the Clerk.

Washington.—An official denial ■ of a declaration attributed to Gov i rrnor Theodore G. Bilbo, of Missis sippi. that Herbert Hoover had visit - j rd and danced with a negro woman ! at Mound Bayou during his ."Missis-. ! sippi flood relief work last : ear was made public at Hoover general headquarters. | The denial, in the form Of a tele. ! grant to Bilbo from George Akerson, | assistant to the Republican jresi dential candidate, criticised the Mis : sisippi executive in sharp terms, de claring that the statement was "un qualifiedly false” and "the most in decent and unworthy statement in the whole of a bitter campaign.” Memoral Passed. | Akerson called attention of the i governor to a memorial passed by ! the legislature of his state prais ing the work of the Republican nom j inee during the flood, and added j that the only time Mr. Hoover was ever in Mound Bayou was when his train made a three-minute stop there. "He never left the platform of his train,” the telegram said, "but re ceived there a memorial from the colored people of that vicinity for the service l;e had rendered their race. No more untruthful and igno • ble assertion was ever uttered by ! a public man in the United States than that attributed to you. With Hoover. "Mr. Hoover never took a moment ; from his responsibilities to attend | and social gathering anywhere i during the whole period of the flood,” said Akerson. who explained that he had been with Hoover throughout each visit into the flood area. "That any person in Mississippi should be led to vote for or against Mr. Hoover upon a 'representation of this kind.' ” he said, "would for ever be a most Infamous blot: on the record of' the state of Mississippi.” Akcrson's Telegram Not Vet Receiv ed By Bilbo. | Jackson, Miss., Oct. 19 —Gover nor Theo.
