CLOSING EXERCISES OF ROCK
HILL SCHOOL.

On last Friday evening at $3.50
o'clock the pupils of the Rock Hill
School, the leading colored school of
Davidson County, rendered beauti-
full cantata entitled, "a Dream OF
Fairyland," one of Charles II. Cab
riel's compositions. The Cantata
consisted of choruses, songs, recita-
tions, marches, dialogues and tab
leau vivants. Those taking the
leading parts were, Misses Charity
Drake, Eta Hockett, Addie Mai
Douglass, Weda Mcdowell Carrie
Cartwright, Tabitha Hockett, Mas
tiers Leslie Polk, Charlie Galloway,
Andrew Douglass, Thomas Robertson
and Joseph Hewlett. The different
numbers were well rendered and met
with great applause. One of the best
numbers was "The Spirits Dance" by
ten small girls led by little Miss
Carrie Cartwright. The stage was
artistically arranged with beautiful
scenery of Fairyland. In the back
ground could be seen flowers, birds,
butterflies and bees as well as beauti-
full FAIRIES. Mrs. Elnora Berry Bar
ton is the efficient principal of this
school. ably assisted by Miss Amanda
B. Perkins. These teachers have won
an enviable reputation by their ac-
complishments in the school room.
Just before the beginning of the
cantata, Miss Lucille Whitfield sang
in a very pleasing manner, "The
Sunshine of your Smile" The house
was filled to its utmost capacity, a
large portion Of the audience being
composed of friends from the city.

MOULDING.

A sculptor worked swiftly in a piece
of clay;
His mind was picturing Q future day.
When a statue grand would a home
adorn,
He moulded while the clay was in a
plastic form.
Women, you are master sculptors
y great.
Mould while the clay is in a plastic
state.
While the tiny soul is yet unborn,
The clay is in its most plastic form.
Select as a model leader noble and
true,
Then you can mould a leader, too;
Let brave, good deeds sink deep in
your soul,
While the clay is most plastic,
mould.
Disturb not the sculptor at her noble
task,
She is moulding for the future, not
the past;
Forget not o sculptor, the power
you hold,
While the clay is most plastic, mould
In the world crisis of today lies our
fate;
Our race will need leaders noble and
great
The men are proving themselves no.
BILE and true,
But our future safety, o master
sculptor, lies in you

A gang OF Negro riveters working
at Sparrows Point, Md, in the plant
of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation

rivets in a nine-hour day. The pre-
vious highest record was 4,442 made
by workman in Scottish shipyard.

Johnson and Private Roberts, while
on sentry duty at some distance from
one another, were attacked by
German raiding party estimated at
twenty men, who advanced in two
groups. attacking at once from flank
and rear.
Both men fought bravely in hand

the use of bolo knife after his rifle
famed and further fighting with bay
onet and butt became impossible.
There is evidence that at least one

severely cut A third is known to
have been shot.
Attention is drawn to the fact
that the two colored sentries were
first attacked and continued fighting
after receiving wounds, and despite
the use of grenades by a superior
force. They should be given credit
for preventing, by their bravery, the
capture of any of our men, Three OF

THE NEGRO AND THE WAR.

Gen. Pershing's report of the hero
ic fight of two Negro soldiers who,
though wounded, withstood a raid
ing party of twenty Germans and
saved their comrades from capture
is no surprise to anybody who knows
the American Negro as a fighter.
OF the Negro volunteers from New
York. who have been in France since
January a correspondent with the
American Army says:
"They are over here, their typical
Negro selpes. The standard OF in
teligence in the unit is extremely
high, and no illiteracy is noticeable,
Many of the men have become fluent
French takers and I have heard ami
mated conversations between our

"The American Negro lads get
along famously with both white and
black Frenchmen. In their dealings
with the feminine population they
are punctiliously polite and not a
single complaint has been lodged
against them in this respect. Natur-
ally they are delighted at the COM
plete lack of racial prejudice they
have found in France and some of
them have declared to me their in
tention of remaining here after the
war. Their pride in their unit speaks
we'll for a continuance of the high
morale they have manifested so far. "
There is no color line in the war

Dear Sir.-I will ask for a small
space in the paper Of which l have
been so much interested in in past
years. The paper which at dark
hours have brought consolation and
gladness to my heart when l look
over the pages and saw the words of
the noble sons of Ham and now
while in service of this great United
States of ours, marching each day
of life under its banner. l think and
my mind runs back to my old home
in Tennessee, and each day l yearn
to return to the old sunny south,
where the cotton blossoms grow. OF
course it is pleasure to be a
"Sammie" but there is no place like
home, although we as Tennessee boys
were drafted, but there are no vol
unteers more loyal to the stars and
stripes than we and we mean to do
our bit. Our states flag and the
great seal of agriculture and COM
merce must not drag in the dust and
when we think of home and of sweet
old Tennessee we come to this con-
clusion, BE still sad heart and cease
repining, behind the dark clouds
the sun is still shining, thy fate is
the common fate of all into each life
some rain must fall. Some days must
be dark and dreary.'
We are we'll clothed and fed here
and a nice comfortable place to sleep
with a nice Y III. C. A. with all
modern conveniences and we are 60
ing to make it worth while and
should we not see the rest of the boys
