Sentiment Causes Seniors To
Hold Their Final Program In
Building Where They Worked
Thr graduation exercises
and the awarding of diplomas
in the Shelby high school will
he held this evening in the
Central school building rather
than in the. First Baptist
church due to the sentiment 68
boys and girls hold for the old
school building in which they
spent their school years, and in
which many other Shelby high <
classes have graduated before
them.
Vote It Down.
Since tiovernor Gardner was
coming home to make the ad
dress knd since it was to be one
of the city’s biggest high school
commencements the suggestion
was passed about some time
back that the final exercises be
held In the First Baptist church
where more people could be ac
commodated.
But the night was to be the
big night and not only the big
night but "their night" to the
youngsters who leave the school
forever this evenlpg, and the
decision was left to them. In
a way it was quite a problem
for thr happy youngsters. Of
course they would want as many
people as cared to see them
graduate. Ambitious youth could
want nothing else. But there
was another angle. The old Cen
tral school building meant much
much to them. In It most of
them have been struggling and
studying, playing and laugh
ing for ten years and longer.
Through it all the old red struc
ture on the hillside came to
mean very much to them. In
it their older brothers and sis
ters have received their diplo
mas on "commencement night”
for many years gone by. So, fi
nally they decided to take a
vote on it. And then sentiment
won out over pride—the vote
gave an easy victory to the old
Central building.
Tonight the exercises will be
held there.

Can't Agree Time Will Come
When Colleges Won't Be
Necessary.
Columbus, Miss. — Three argu
ments were advanced here by Dr,
Frank P. Gaines, president of Wake
Forest college, against the theory
recently advanced by H. G. Wells
that with the development of civi
lization the college will cease to ex
ist, in addressing the graduating
class of Mississippi State college for
Women.

In the baccalaureate address.
“The supporting agrument Is that
since education represents at best
merely an opportunity for the In
dividual to discover fact, and since
tacilities for spreading information,
like the radio, the public library
and the public lecture will expand
enormously, there will actually be
ro Justification for the institutions
that cost large sums of money and
demand great expense of energies^ on
the part of students,'' Dr. Gaines
said
"The adoption of any such pro
gram for education must be at the
expense of certain immeasurable
values,” the speaker argued. He
summarized the values as follows:
"The stimulation of personal con
tact, that effect of living in a swirl
of personality which rubs otf sharp
corners of temperament, which puts
forth from time to time emergent
giants of personality who inspire the
youthful student to a new resolu
tion of purpose.
"The perfecting of personal com
petence by the slow routine of per
formance; this value of education
lies not at the end of the Journey
but along the road, the slow, hard
road; herein pupils acquire mas
teries of mind and will and they
later transfer thl sacademic train
ing. relatively > triva). to the tasks
of life, immensely significant..
“The establishment of life's loy
alties; the scope of our loyalties ex
pands as though a series of concen
tric circles, each fairly definite in
itself, but leading naturally into
another and a larger.
"The first is the home circle: but
no individual is fitted for life's loy
alties until he has had some exist
ence in a circle of the social group,
where he ceases to think important
ly of himself and begins to enter
into the welfare of the group. Here
in come devotion to group ideals;
herein comes dedication to the great
ends toward which the group strug
gles, herein comes the power to
share vicariously the triumphs earn
ed by other members of the group
The cohesiveness of youthful en
thusiasms. represented usually as

that leads into fine moods of citi
zenship. into the committal of life

LADY’S SUFFERING
Ske Writes That “A Friend
Told Me To Take Car*
dni and I Know
It Helped Me.”
Greenville. Mia*.—In describing
how she suffered several yean ago.
Mrs. Mattie Dalton, of 213 Walnut
Street, this city, recently wrote:
"I would cramp, and my hands
and feet would draw, so I came near
having convulsions. I would have to
stay In bed a week, and when I
would get up. I just dragged around,
and did not feel like doing my work.
I suffered a great deal with my
back.
“A friend came to see me and
saw how I suffered. She told me to
try taking Cardul, which I did. I
seemed to have more strength, after
my first bottle. After I had taken :
about four bottles of Cardul. I saw '
a great Improvement.
“I quit having such bad spells,
and was stronger and better than 1
in a long time. I gained In weight.
I took a few more bottles of Cardul.
and felt so well that I quit taking It.
"I certainly can recommend Car

Brummitt And
Ehringhaus In
Lead, Is Belief
(Continued from page ope.)
long distance prognosticators here
believe that Fountain will over
shoot his mark, If he has not done
so already; that he will not be
able to hold his present organiza
tion intact for three more years;
and that when the actual campaign
gets under way that the real cosi
test is more likely to be between
Brummitt and Ehringhaus.
Some think that General Albert
L. Cox of Raleigh may become a
candidate, while Others hint broad
ly that Josiah William Bailey may
get into the race, especially if hr.
should not become a candidate for
the Democratic nomination for U.
S. senator against Senator F. M.
Simmions. But at present, even Ra
leigh is not taking the prospective
candidacy of General Cox serious
ly while the Democratic leader;
are also discounting the possibili
ty of Bailey getting into the
race, although they admit that
Bailey may do anything.
It is generally agreed, howeve:.
that Brummitt will become
formidable candidate. He will have
had eight years in office as At
torney general of the state, hav
ing been elected to this office
twice by large majorities. Thus
his name will be familiar to voters
everywhere, which will constitute
a valuable psychological advant
age. But Brummitt has the addi
tional advantage of having had
three terms in the general assem
bly, one of these as speaker of the
house, serving in the legislatures
of 1915, 1917 and 1919, being
speaker this last time. As a result,
he is acquainted with influential
men in evrry county of the state,
it familiar with the peculiar local
problems and state of mind in
every county and almost every
community, that comes only with
long service in the general as
sembly. This knowledge of local
conditions in the various counties
and the contacts with local politic
al leaders has been kept fresh and
green through the natural and
continuous contact maintained
through the office of the attorney
general.
There Is still another thing
strongly in Brummitt's favor. And
that is that as long as he has been
attorney general, he has looked af
ter the interests of the state
fearlessly and courageously, has
refrained from playing politics
and consequently has won the con
fidence of the people, his friends
claim. In addition, he was for a
time chairman of the state Demo
cratic executive committee, which
brought him additional valuable
contacts. He is plain, unaffected—
a "small town” man, rather than
a highhat “city feller.” He is also
from the eastern part of the state
Then there is Ehringhaus, also
a "small town” man—but not too
small. He Is also from the east,
which is both good and necessary.
Ehringhau3 has perhaps a more
striking and magnetic personality
than Brummltt, and is a public
speaker of undoubted power and
attractiveness. He also has the
esteem and confidence of all who
know him.
But there comes the rub. Not
enough people know Ehringhaus
outside of the northeastern part of
the state, according to the politic
al prophets here. Some also main
tain that his name does not have
quiet the proper sound or spelling

Lookahere, Annette
Kellerman To Give
Treat In Charlotte
Her Exhibition There Sunday Will
Be Free Attraction For Those
Who Attend.
<Special to The Star.'
Charlotte, May 30—As a feature
of the international campaign to
develop and maintain the highest
standards of health and beauty,
Annette Kellerman, world famous
aquatic beauty who is conceded
universally to have the most perfect
figure of any living woman, will
gave a free exhibition of swimming,
diving and physical culture exer
cises and poses, accompanied by a
highly entertaining lecture, at West
Lake Park in Charlotte on Sunday
afternoon, June 2,
There will be no charges or fees
of any sort, it is announced, and a
gallery of seats will be provided on
the shady slope overlooking the
pool, to insure the comfort of all
who attend. In addition, the park
k equipped with a radio broadcast
ing and amplifying hookup which
will not only carry Miss Keller
man's voice to every corner of the
vast park, but will broadcast an
entertaining musical program as
well.
It is expected that thousands of
women, girls and men will be pres
ent, as Miss Kellerman has made a
special change in her itinerary in
order to be able to appear at West
Lake in the course of a world tour
which has already brought her be
fore vast audiences in the leading
cities of England, France, Belgium,
the Scandinavian countries, Ger
many, Italy and elsewhere, where
she has been acclaimed enthusias
tically.
Miss Kellerman. whose activities
in the development of high stand
ards of health and beauty among
women have made her name a
household word throughout the en
tire world, will begin her demon
stration with an exhibition of fancy
diving in the big West Lake pool,
following with a series of poses il
lustrating correct postures and a
group of exercises calculated to de
velcp the figure properly. She will
accompany these exhibitions with
an illuminating discourse on the
principles of correct living and the
attainment of an enviable form.
Free parking space will be pro
vided within the park for all auto
mobiles.
for some, despite his unquestioned
intellectual ability and fitness for
the office of governor. So unless
Ehringhaus is able to sell himself
to the Democrats of the state as
few have been able to do in cam
paigns, the edge at present is award
ed to Brummitt.
Charlotte Decorates For Big
Reunion Of Confederate Vets
City Dreoiates Itself In repara
tion For Countrywide
Event.
Charlotte.—Charlotte has decked
itself in flags ajnd bunting in prep
aration for the general Confederate
reunion, to start here June 4 and
last through June 7. The official
cecorators, to whom the contract
was given by the reunion manage
ment, hung Confederate anil United
States flags for a total of W) blocks,
and private business houses, as well
ts public buildings, were decorated.
It was anounced that Senator
Pat Harrison, of Mississippi, will be
the chief speaker at the opening
meeting of the reunion. He sent a
message saying he would arrive here
cn the afternoon of June 4. speak
that night and leave the next day
for Washington.
Requests for reservations of hotel
rooms continue to pour in here, but,
as space has been filled by reserva
tion, a reply is sent to those asking
new for reservations, directing them
to apply to the housing committee
and the best available rooms will be
assigned them.
Paul R. Younts and the military
affairs committee of the reunion to
day arranged the line of march for
the parade, which will be the climax
to all the reunion activities and
which will be held the morning of
June 7. This is expected to be *
gorgeous event. The National Guard
units will be on duty keeping the
streets clear the morning just be
fore the parade and when the rem
nants of the Confederate Army line
up for parade they will have a clear
track. Companies of National Guard
cavalry will be in the line of march,
as will representatives of other or
ganizations.
The United Confederate Veterans,
Sons of Veterans, United Daughters
of the Confederacy and Confederate
Southern Memorial association will
ah have some separate meetings
here, but will unite for other meet
ings and will have parts in the
parade.
It is already known that Biloxi,
Miss , and Washington, D. C., will
invite the Confederates for the 1930
convention, with the odds now fav
oring Biloxi, in the opinion of re
