HIGHLANDS SCHOOL CLOSES
SUCCESSFUL TERN.

Richlands, May 24.-The Richards
school closed on Monday a most sue
cessful term. So steady has the pro-
gress been and so free from friction
has every phase of the work been that
the wheels Of the school machinery
have moved noiselessly.
The year has been marked by the
invocation of the Domestic Science
course, which has proven successful
to degree not ever dreamed of.
The faculty has worked with one
accord ard the results are more than
gratifying. 1t is earnestly hoped that
the faculty will return. The princi-
pal, Miss Evans, is thoroughly IA
miliar with every detail and phase of
school life and her failure to return
will be serious loss to the school
life of the community. The closing
exercises embraced the piano recital
of Miss Jackson's class. The pupils
acquitted themselves well. Miss Jack
son has many warm admirers in
Richlands, who are eager for her re-
turn.
On Friday evening at 6 p. M, the
pupils gave on the school green an
historical pageant, of the original
thirteen colonies. The idea was sug-
gested by Miss Evans and was mark
ed out in detail gorgeously. The pill
grims, cavaliers, Indians, rcvelers Of
jamestown, William Penn and Roger
Williams, Lord Baltimore and Mary
landers sported on the green with n
familiarity not dreamed in those good
old days Of long ago. The effect was
magnificent. Nothing pleased the
audience more than the splendid sing
ing of the pupils who ran through
the national airs and the songs of
the Southland with such force and en-
thusiasm that many of the older ones
could scarcely understand how they
did it.
The whole affair was one of the
most original and beautiful as well as
appropriate ever seen in Richlands.
1t will not soon be forgotten.
On Saturday night, the regular ex-
ercises of graduation We're held in the
auditorium. The class was the largest
in the history Of the school. On Sun
day at II a. m, the Rev. Mr.. AFRO
wood, of Tazewell, preached mag
nificent sermon in the Methodist
church.
The teachers left for their homes
Monday.

AN INTERLUDE.
DO 1T NOW!

Editor the News:
AS in the midst of life we arc in
death, so amidst the alarms and hur-
ly-burly of war we may be recalled
to the customary routine of the pip
ing times of peace.
Now, we have looming up Il pri-
mary in which we are to choose an
executive to succeed our present ex-
cellent Governor, Henry C. Stuart. At
this writing, the field Of pronounced
candidates consists of j. Taylor Ell
tyson, now Lieutenant Governor, and
for many years the efficient chairman
of the Democratic party; Mr.. West
moreland Davis, good Democrat,
and II good farmer and Mr.. John Gar
Land Pollard at present Attorney Gen
eral, who gained notoricty some years
ago in an effort to reconstruct and
rcorganize the Democratic purity 1t
is remembered that this propaganda
resulted in the organization of new
party called, believe the progress
i've Democratic Party" with n roster
of officers and sponsors throughout
the State, and among them our
friend, G. w. Doak, who was then and
may be STILL" more or less disgrun-
tied with the regular organization of
the Democratic party.
1t is presumed that since Mr. Pol
lard is now availing himself of this or
ganization to legalizc his candidacy
for the highest office the party has
to bestow, that he has renounced his
apostacy and re-alligned himself with
the party which he sought TO de-
stroy. 1t is in the hope that some
light may be thrown upon this phase
of an important question that this
note is written by
A STRAIGHT DEMOCRAT.

WHAT'S WRONG AT LIBERTY
HILL?

Won't somebody please investigate
and find out just what is wrong with
the school builing or school people
ut Liberty Hill? Complaints from
that section are many, and the editor
is asked, ito pull the chestnuts out
of the fire." The teacher there the
past session is said to have been a
fine one, but the school building seems
to be the cause of the trouble. This
school is located in Brother ]. B.
Crabtree's bailiwick, and he usually
gives everybody square deal. Are
the folks at Liberty hard to please
or what is wrong?
