Would it not be wise for the clt'-

two off and work the roads? In
KANSAS, Missouri and several other
states all the citizens we're called to
work the roads day or two, even the
governors shedding their gubernato-
rial togas for the occasion and partlcl-
nated in the work. In North Carolina
several counties have tried the project
and as q result the roads throughout
the counties we're put into excellent

the main implement used' togesner

Wilson Shows Mercy

Pleas that widowed mother and
dependent wife and child heeded the
support of Arthur J. Stencil, convicted
OF embezzling $5,4co of the funds of
the Galveston National bank, induced
President Wilson to commute the
prisoners five year sentence to one
year.
Stencils voluntary surrender and
plea of guilty at Galveston, Texas,
January 81 last, were taken into con-
sideration by the president. The pris-
oner. whose father has died since his
confinement, leaving the family de-
pendent upon him, will be released the

We are indeed glad to note the os-
tansible progress of the Lexington
c,,lepiste Institute under the direo-
t;on Of Prof. Black and his proficient
corns of teachers. The building and
eouipment is modern in every phase
and would do credit to much larger
citv The enrolment is larger than
ever, being s55 in number, and this
number will be greatly increased as
the farm work is completed. Tne
parents should cooperate with the
faculty and lend every assistance pos
a;b,e to them. The teachers some
times are handicapped because OF the
look of interest of the parents in the
nunil, We could stand for no nobler
cause, no higher inspiration or asper,
ation than those things that woulo
tend to improve our citizenship men,

the nall of ignorance from the fair
brow Of our county. Lexington is one
Of the Oldest counties in the State and
che has the school facilities. The
schools are the bulwark of the county.
ANYTHING that tends to lessen the
proper interest in them is a blow at
the county which is bound to nave
pern1cious results.
