Of Statesville, N. c., who are engaged
In the lumber business have moved
their force from Hickory Grove and
have made this place their headquar-
ters. The lumber men are at present
hauling logs from Mr.. ]. ]. McSwain's
plantation. Most Of the timber Is pop
lar. About fifteen cars have been ship
ped from Sharon up to this time and 1t
is probable that enough timber can be
secured in this locality to occupy the
large number of hands for some time.
Business is dull in Sharon at pres
ent. Very few farmers are coming into
town as most Of them have plenty to
do at home.
Special services beginning last Fri
day and continuing through Sunday
were held in the Woodlawn Presbyteri-
an church. Rev. John A. McMurray,
pastor Of Bethesda church, assisted the
pastor, Rev. w. B. Arrowood and his
strong and able sermons were greatly
appreciated and enjoyed by his hear
ers. A crowded house heard his SER

Prof. w. Y. Boyd, superintendent of
the High school, rendered his resigna-

as an able and conscientious teacher.
He has not decided where he will go.

SHARON SCHOOL CLOSING

/ The Sharon High school came to a
close last Wednesday, the finishing up
of one of the most successful years in
It's history being marked by an inter-
ment in the school auditorium We'd
nesday night. The building was crowd
ed, many people being unable to get a
seat even In the windows.
All the pupils of the school took part
in the entertainment, the exercises be-
ing opened with a song by the entire
student body. The programme was
made up in interesting variety. Reel
tations by Margaret Valley, Gus Cain,
Marie Graves, Hugh Robinson, Mary
Whisonant, Fulton Horton, James
Graves, Virginia Pratt, Eugenia Pratt,
and Elizabeth Allison were very inter-
esting and heartily applauded by the
large audience.
Miss Ella Lee Byers, a pupil Of Mrs.
Boyd's, skilfully rendered several mu-
sical numbers during the entertain
ment.
The drills and tableaux by the chill
dren Of the primary grades composed
large and very entertaining part OF the
programme. None Of those taking part
In the drills were over ten years of age.
The Brownie Drill" in which Clyde
Brown, Ed and Will Whitesides, Paul
Whisonant, Lonnie Good, Wayne Good,
Rob Hope, James Ramsay, Edgar Cobb
and John F. Rainey acted as brownies,
created much fun and brought a great
deal of applause from the audience. -
Misses Maggie Whitesides, Orie Shil-
linglaw, Sarah Youngblood and Ella
Lee Byers, represented the affirmative
and Misses Elizabeth Allison, Pepinnah
Cain, Susie Shillinglaw and John r.
Saye represented the negative side In
the debate, the subject being "Resolv-
ed, that Old Bachelors Should be Tax
ed to Support Old Maids" Quite lively
and humorous was the argument pro
and con, the affirmative presenting
many reasons why the bachelors should
be taxed, while the upholders of the
negative side Of the question likewise
showed many logical reasons why such
a burden should not be placed upon the
bachelors. Woman suffrage figured
largely in the debate and the affirma-
tive took great pains to show that wo-
man was the equal Of man, that she
was created for the purpose Of being a
companion of man and that II the
bachelors didn't care for the compan-
ionship and affection Of woman, they
should be compelled to support her all
the same. The decision OF the judges
was unanimously In favor Of the affir-
native The programme was conclud-
ed with a fan drill by the sixth, seventh,
eighth and ninth grade girls.
The school this year has been under
the supervision Of Prof. w. Y. Boyd,
with Misses Minnie Palmer, Winnie
Crawford and Wilma Logan as assis-
tarlts. The largest number Of pupils In
the history Of the school have been en-
rolled during the past year and thor
ough work has been done in every de-
partment No diplomas or certificates
were awarded at the closing Of the
term although several Of the students
finished the course. The high school
department consists Of two year
course-eighth and ninth grades. The
standard of the high school is there
fore, not high enough to warrant giving
certificates recommending the pupils to
the freshman class Of a college.

We . believe that the election OF
judges by the people would have a
tendency to secure better enforce
ment Of the laws. It is not fact that
each and every judge elected by the
general assembly is rather unduly So
licitous Of the desires of the lawyers
he thinks have the most say-so as to
his election; but many Of them are So
licitous along this line. Judges are
human. Their business is to do that
which is right. The majc -ity Of the
people stand for right-right in the
abstract. If judges were elected by
the people, there would be a greater
tendency to loyalty to right in the alb
stract, If for no other reason, to COM
mand the confidence Of the people.
