BETTER SCHOOLS WIN The DAY
Bond Issue Elections Carried By
Overwhelming Majority

The election held on Tuesday,
May 5th, for the purpose of de.
Gliding the question of whether OF
not bonds of the Roanoke Rapids
School District in the sum OF
twenty thousand dollars should be
issued, was carried by an over
whelming majority.
The people of this community
have again demonstrated the pro-
gressive sentiments held by the
great majority. The vote for
the bonds was about on the ra-
tio of eleven to one and this ra-
ito would been still greater but
for the fact that the news of the
carrying of the bond issue was
circulated widely before noon
Tuesday and a good many people
who would have voted for the
bonds if there had been the
slightest danger of their not
being carried, did not 90 to the
polls at all.
we cannot state at this writing
Just how long it will be before
the bonds can be sold and the
work on the buildings started.
The Board of School Trustees are
going to do everything possible
to expedite matters and it is hop
ed that actual work on the new
buildings may be commenced
early in the summer.
The carrying of this bond is
sue means great deal to this
community. 1t means that the
opportunities of the children of
this district along educational
lines will be second to none in
the State. 1t means another
and a decided advance for this
community and the size of the
majority shows the sort of stuff
the community is made of.

Board Of Trade Organized For
Rosemary and Roanoke Rapids

At meeting of the business
men of Roanoke Rapids and Rose
mary held in the Mayors Office
in Roanoke Rapids on last Tues
day night at 500 O'Clock, a tenn
porary organization Of a Board of
Trade for Rosemary and Roanoke
Rapids was effected.
J. It. Chase was elected Pres
ident, W. F. Horner, Vice Presi-
dent, R. l.. Towe, Secretary and
Treasurer. j. l.. Patterson, J. B.
Boyd, j. W. House. l.. G. Shell
and DR.. T. w. M. Long were
elected Directors and E. H. Kicks,
w. E. Byrne and M. M. Faison,
were elected members of the So
cial Committee.
The President, Vice Presinent
and Chairman of the Board of
Directors, (who is yet to be elect
ed) were elected as a committee
Of three to select a name for the
organization and draw up a set
of bylaws to be presented for
adoption at a meeting of the or
ganization to be held in the May
or's Office in Roanoke Rapids on
next Tuesday night at 500 O'Clock
The meeting was a very sue
cessful one indeed. Many ex-
pressions of opinion in regard to
the advisability of organizing a
Board of Trade were made by
different individuals, the gener-
al consensus of opinion being
that such an organization would
be very advantageous for the
community as a whole. The at
tendance at the meeting was
large: twenty six business men
from the towns being present.
The Board of Trade is certainly
much nearer an accomplished
fact now than at any time in the
past.
If the individuals members of
the organization can be induced
to work together harmoniously
and unselfishly, every man put
ting forth his best efforts for
the success of the organization
and upbuilding of the community
untold good will result. In an
organization of this nature there
should be no sectional prejudices,
no petty jealouslly and no aspira-
tion on the part of any individual
member to control the workings
of the organization. Itshould be
a democracy of business men all
working together for one common
object. 1t is only along these
lines that progress can be made.
The Board of Trade has made
good start as one member ex-
pressed it: 1T must learn to
crawl before attempting to walk"
Its future rests on the energy,
community spirit and unselfish-
ness of it's members. We hope
and predict for it a successful
and useful existence.

Better Railroad Facilities For CON-

The possibility of this com

facilities is being widely discus

James, Cheatham and Darden,
prominent officials of the Sea
board Air Line, on last Wednes.
day morning.

committee of five business men,
represented the newly organized
Board of Trade, and other prom

met the Seaboard officials at
Roanoke Junction and discussed
the matter of plans and locations.
After discussing the matter for

was laid before the officials of
the Seaboard, asking them to re-
locate their main line between
Rosemary and Roanoke Rapids

COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES
Roanoke Rapids Graded School, Fri
day Night, May l.. Peoples
Theatre

The most successful commence
ment in the history of the Roa
noke Rapids Graded School was
that given in the Peoples Theatre
on last Friday night.
The capacity of the house was
taxed to the utmost, fully twice
as many people, it is estimated,
being turned away as were seat
ed in the building. Due in part
to an error of the management
and partly to the fact that the
orders of the management were
not strictly carried out, there
was some dissatisfaction in re-
gard to the way the seating ar
4 rangements were handled.
The seats were placed with
Hancock House Company for ad-
vance distribution about two
O'Clock Friday afternoon, with
instructions that the tickets be
given to men only and only two
tickets to each man. We under
stand these instructions were not
carried out. At any rate before
seven O'Clock all of the seats had
been taken and many people in
Roanoke Rapids and a much
greater number from Rosemary
were unable to see the COM
mencement. exercises. The man
agement had expected no such
rush for the seats as was made:
in fact, they expected that fully
three fourths of the tickets would
be handed out at the ticket Office
Just before the commencement
started.
The commencement exercises
were good from start to finish
of the programme. The singing
was excellent Miss Alice Hook
aday's renditions of her part be-
ing fully equal to professional
singing. The History of the
Glass of 1914 by Miss Lucy Bar
rette was excellently gotten up
and delivered well. Mr.. H6f-
land Brantley's recitation of the
Grafton of Sparticus to the Glad
iators was rendered with abili-
ty. Probably the moet enjoyable
feature of the occasion was the
Last viii and Testament of the
Glass by Miss Virginia Hart. AT
any rate it caused more merri-
ment. Both Miss Virginia's wit
and pen are trenchant and her
victims writhed under her
thrusts. The audience was in a
gale of laughter during the en-
tire reading of the will: that is,
those members of the audience
who were not at that time under
discussion.
One of the features of the
evening was the address of DR..
A. S. Harrison, of Enfield, Coun-
ty Superintendent of Education.
DR.. Harrison was introduced by
Mr.. r. l.. Towe, who made a
few brief remarks about the pro-
gress Of education in other sec
tions Of the State. DIR. Harri-
sons address was very enter
tanning. He, referred to the
time of his first visit to Roanoke
Rapids when the school at Roa-
noke Rapids was known to the
County Board as Weldon No. 2
White. His address was a plea
for better wider and education. He
spoke very highly of the work
done by Superintendent Akers
and the Roanoke Rapids school
faculty and made an ardent plea
for the bond issue.
1t is certainly to be hoped that
by the time the, Commencement
of the Glass of 1915 rolls around
the new auditorium will be
ready. We need an auditorium
that will seat at least eight hun
dred, and now that the people
have voted the bond issue they
are entitled to it.
