None of the injuries to the machine are serious and Latham an nounced that he would attempt to sail the Channel this afternoon if the weather conditions are favorable.
 Latham was uninjured. The machine is the same one in which Latham tried last week to cross the Channel but which fell into the water when about nine miles out, through the failure of the motor

The Entertainment An Enjoyable Affair."
(Reported to The Commonwealth

Reported to The Commonwealth
Tuesday evening, June goth play
was presented at the Graded School
building, for the benefit of the
monument fund, under the efficient
management of Mrs. A. Mcdowell,
knowing the histrionic talent of this
manager the public generally knew
there was a treat in store for them,
and they were not disappointed, the
entertainment far exceeded expecta-
tons. There was not dull moment
from start to finish.
"a case of Obstinacy" was the
first on the program, the parts were
we'll rendered and all deserve spe-
cial mention. One would have never
taken them for amateurs, those TAX
ing part were Misses Sallie Baker,
Bessie Dunn, Mrs. Lee Savage,
Messrs. Leland Kitchin, Henry Clark
and Ashby Dunn. The highest COM
pliment that can be paid them is,
they forgot themselves and were
really the characters they represent
ed.
The next on the program The Old
Maids Association" was most ex-
cellently rendered and brought
down the house, Miss Anna Clark
derserves special mention in this.
She took the leading character,
and also trained those taking
part. Miss Clark is at home and at
at ease on the stage. For want of space
all the characters cannot be mention
ed, but Miss Katherine Kitchin and
Mr.. Herman Bryan deserve special
mention.
Between the acts the audience was
delightfully."- entertained with music,
instrumental and vocal, by Misses
Louise Futrell and Margaret Allen.
After the entertainment ice cream
and cake and lemonade were served
to the public for the benefit of the
monument fund. The proceeds were
from the play 1925; cake and cream
$3.50, total $51.O5. This fund is ir
charge of Mrs. Mcdowell and we
trust there are many such treats as
we enjoyed on the evening Of the
10Th, in store for us.

MAINTAIN THE HIGH STANDARD.

1t is true that owing to the
frailty of human nature very
few of us maintain the high
standard which many of us
preach, still if there is one set
of people who more than all
others should endeavor to main
tain that high standard it is the
Members of the Press. They
demand much from others, from
them much should be demand
ed.
Some days ago we received a
letter from a man in another
part of the country who offered
to sell to this paper the exclus-
i've right to publish in Halifax
county editorial matter that he
proposed to furnish from week
to week. His offer and his let
ter were both ignored. Some
days later in a paper published
in this section Of our State
the same editorial matter that
this man proposed to sell us, ap
peared and no credit was given
to any one for the article, ex.
cept the credit that a paper al
ways receives for editorial
matter that appears in it's col
umns.
We deplore this willingness
on the part of some to receive
credit for the product of an
others brain, whether bought
for publication or clipped anc
taken for publication.
Lets MAINTAIN the higl
standard.

Miss 0ldham'S Recital.

Last Friday night Miss Sallie Pick
EFT Oldham, of Wilmington, who re-
Gently graduated in elocution from
the Baptist University for Women
(now Meredith College, gave dra-
matte recital Of Charles klein's 1.-The
Lion and the Mouse" in the auditor
ium of the Graded School building.
Miss Oldham during her stay at the
University gave a number of sue
cessful recitals in many of Raleigh's
neighboring towns where she won
merited popularity as a splendid and
talented reader. People in Scotland
Neck remember pleasantly the reci-
tai she gave here last summer.
Owing to the threatening weather
the audience Friday night was much
smaller than it would have been had
the weather been better, but those
who heard Miss Oldham were highly
pleased with her recital. The play
which she recited was a most inter-
esting and entaining one, and the
characters which she impersonated
were so well defined that even those
who had not read the play followed
every incident which it detailed.
