A Prose Poem

This story, which we CLEAN
from the editorial columns of the
State Journal, is new, to us:
Not so long ago, in one of the
beautiful tideWater towns of the
State, a CHASTITY deed was done.
A man was stabbed, again and
again near a score of times
so that he fell where he was and
died where he fell. The slayer
was tried with the usual formal
ties. Witnesses testified, law
yerS made speeches, the Judge
charged the jury, the verdict fol-
lowed and the prisoner was SEN
fenced to prison for a term of
years. There was nothing so
very unusual about the trial. The
people read about it all in the
papers and soon forgot it. 1t is
needless to rehearse it here.
Society used the best means it
has been able to devise to admin
lister justice, so let it pass. But
there was an incident connected
with the last moments of the
dead man, which it may be worth
while to relate.
When the stricken man sank
to the grounds, with his life
blood gushing from his many
wounds, he asked that some one
pray for him, because he knew
that his end was at hand. But
those who had gathered around
him stood dumb in their horror.
When silence was the only an
swer to his request, he began to
pray for himself. Whether, in

LIVING OLD AND WELL
Old Age Diseases Reduce Average
Length Of Life

During the nineteenth century
the expectation of life rose to
eight years or twice that of the
two preceding years. This fact
is accounted for chiefly through
the saving of baby lives and the
prevention of infectious diseases
during early life. But for some
reason the rate at present seems
to be at a standstill, and a close
study of conditions show that
the degenerate diseases after
middle life, the nervous, heart
and kidney diseases, are to
blame. Furthermore the study
shows that this is more evident
in the United States than else
where.
The last census shows that the
number of people in the United

The Resignation Of Mr.. Akers

After the announcement of
last week that Prof A +. Akqrs
had been offered and was seri-
ously considering accepting the
position of Superintendent Of the
! Public Schools of Halifax County
we do not suppose the statement
made in the news columns of
i this issue that Mr.. Aker 5
resignation as Superintendent of
the Roanoke Rapids Graded
Schools has been received and
accepted by the Board of School
Trustees of the Graded School
District will cause a great deal
of surprise.
There is a widespread feeling
IN this community however, that
the County Schools gain is going
to mean the Graded Schools, loss
at least for a time. Mr.. Akers
services to the Graded Schools as
Superintendent have been extra
ordinarily efficient and his long
years of experience have unQues-
tlonably rendered him more
valuable to the schools than any
man they can possibly get, no
matter how able his successor
may be.
Mr. Ahers has watched over
and guided the growth of the
schools from their very begin
ing until now, and to him is due
IN large measure the credit for
the wonderful results aeeompIl-
shed, The Roanoke Rapids
Graded Schools have never taken
a backward step, progress has
been steady and rapid: not once
has internal faction or schism
developed to cause the schools
to lose in either prestige or eff
cheney. About every man in
public life, more or less criticism
is inevitable, but we believe there
has been less criticism and more
commendation for Mr.. Akers
work in the seven years he has
been with us than has been in
any school district in the State.
