MURDERS WIFE IN; PRESENCE
OF THREE CHILDREN,

Probably due to a relapse of insan-
ity, Ed. Mangum, a w~ell-known farmer
in the Falls Of the Neuse section OF
Wake county felled his wife early Fri
day with a club and then sent a pistol
shot crashing through her brain, this
in the presence of three small STEP
children. Mangum was held in the
criminal insane department of the
State prison sometime a year ago and
was released as normal.
Subsequently he married a widow of
Durham county, whose life he took. 1t
was some time after the murder be-
fore neighbors found the little orphan
ed children and l~ifeless body of the
mother in the Mangum home. Shaw
ings and fagots were piled about the
body as though the murderer had
thought of burning it. Mangum was
found at the home of his father and
held for the officers.

BOOZE BILL DWINDLING.

Cold figures from an unprecedented
source are what really furnish n au-
thentic verdict as to whether increase
of dry territory decreases the con-
sumption of alcoholic drinks. The last
government fiscal report, including the
first half of 1916, shows that there were
81 gallons less of intoXicants per CAPT.
ia consumed than in the preceding
year One hundred million dollars
less was paid out in twelve months by
the American people than during the
previous year.
In the consumption of beer there
was a decrease of ten gallons for each
family. Even with this reduction.
Uncle Sans records show there was
a total expenditure for intoxicants in
twelve months OF over a billion and a
half dollars-seventy-five dollars for
each family.
A comparison of the money going
into the building of churches and Ii
quor-making plants is an interesting
side light on the question. In 1905, for
every dollar expended for new church
buildings there were $3.50 put into new
Ibreweries and distilleries. In 1915, for
everv dollar put into new liquor-mak-
ing plants there were $500 put into
building new churches in this country:
There were $4,000, 900 less invested
in the construction Of breweries and
distilleries in the past ten years than
in the decade preceding 1905.
1t is now, evident that John Barley
corn is MORALLY hit, but he is working
his publicity bureau as never before. to
| show he is still in the game and that

Commencement Week a Success

A large and appreciative audience
heard the Baccaiaureate sermon de-
livered by DR.. Milford Riggs, on Sun
day, May 14th. His theme, "The
Great Teacher" was very appropriate
for the occasion. The music was
good and much appreciated by all.
The church was very beautiful in APP
pearance and much credit is due the
ladies of the Presbyterian Church for
the rather elaborate flower decora-
tons.
The entertainment given by LIST, I'd,
Sd, 4th, 9th and 9th grades on We'd
nesday night and the 18th and 8th
grades on Thursday night were both
we'll attended. The proceeds from
the sale of tickets for both nights was
$4,000. Very little time was taken
from the school work fort prepara-
ton of these programs, hence they
could have been improved with more
practice, but the people on the whole
seemed well pleased with both pro-
grams.
The address on Friday night given
by DR.. J. A. Rice, pastor of st. Johns
Methodist Episcopal Church of st.
Louis was masterful and displayed the
highest type of oratory. Because of
his very impressive style and the
many good thoughts he uttered his
talk will not Don be forgotten by the
Ironton people. Many were com
PEELED to return home because they
could not find room at the hall. The
pleasure of this happy occasion was
slightly marred by the electric lights
going out and by some disorder on the
part of a few of the children. 1t is
quite probable that all children of the
lower grades will be excluded from
the High School Graduating Exercises
and Glass Address in the future unless
they are accompanied by their par
ents.
On behalf of the Teachers of the
Ironton Public Schools, 1 wish to thank
the public for your liberal patronage of
all the Commencement exercises and
also to assure you that your co-opera-
ton in this respect has done much to-
ward helping the schools make these
entertainments a success.
RAYMOND SHooP, Sup't.
