day afternoon Rock Ridge defeated
Stantonsburg in very interesting
game of soccer They tied the score
early in the game and played that
way until near the end when Rock
Ridge scored another goal. The score
was 2 to l.
The Rock Ridge school was enthu-
siastic in celebrating Armistice Day
Friday afternoon. There was first
parade by the whole school. Then "a
very entertaining program by the
High School consisting of songs, read
ings and recitations. This was follow
ed by an exceptionally good talk by
Mr.. w. A. EdgertOn. He gave the
boys and girls some fine advice, ad
monished them to keep their
thoughts pure, showed how the great
war was a result of one mans foolish
thoughts and told them that each Doy
and girl controls his or her thoughts.
1t is very unfortunate that the
community was not able to observe
this program but the auditorium of
the much crowded buildings is not
adequate to seat even the entire
school,

GARDENERS CELEBRATES
ARMISTICE DAY.

Exercises in celebration of Armis-
tice Day were held at Gardners
school yesterday. Four hundred we're
present. the school children, parents
and others of the community making
up the audience.
An especially interesting program
was observed Rev j. L. Mcbride of
Wilson delivered the address of the
occasion. He spoke On the subject of
Taking Advantages of Opportunity" I"
and urged every young person be-
fore him to make the most of the
opportunities that were before them.
Mr.. Mcbride recently offered
Bibles. Testaments and other Scrip
ture portions to the children of Gard
ners School as a reward if certain
passages of Scripture were memoriz-
ed. These prizes were awarded yester-
day. Four girls. NettieEtheridge Eli
zabeth Etheridge, Bertha Tyson and
Martha Lee Eagles. had recited, mem
orized Scripture emitting them to re-
ceive Bible. Each girl was present
ed a handsome Bible. One hundred
and sixty children memorized Scrip
lures emitting them to receive either
Testaments. different books from the
New Bible or some Scriptural
Portion. Mrs. Mann, principal of the
school, stated that the children had
shown great interest in memorizing
portions of the Scripture

CONFERENCE TO LIMIT
ARMAMENT.

The conference on the limitation
of armaments opened this morning in
Washington City. A survey OF the
situation shows that. the naval pow
or of the world now rests with
Great Britain, Japan and America.
Therefore a union, or understanding
between these nations would make
wars Of great magnitude impossible.
So great and stupendous are these
questions. that the Associated Press
handled little more than this matter
today The gist of hte proposition is
to stop building ships for ten years.
and to scrap 66 fighting ships, a to-
tai of nearly two million tons.
The stoppage of the American
building program would mean great
shipbuilding interests.
It would mean that thousands of
people would be thrown out of work
and millions of capital impaired and
rendered almost useless unless the
yards could be put to making mer-
chant vessels, though there are a
great many boats in the country now,
and the shipping business is not of
the best. 1t has suffered with other
business on account of the war, and
the depression following. Newport
News and Norfolk would be hard hit.
But that should not make any diff
ference. The hopes, aspirations, lives
and welfare of the greatest number
must be considered in dealing with
all questions, and the entire world
is interested in the stopping of wars,
which have always seemed to us to
be suicidal. 1t is against the law to
allow an individual to carry arms,
then why should country with a
lot of ambitious and crazy rulers at
their head be allowed to do the same
thing

A. &. COLLEGE DEFEATS
GOIDSBORO ORPHANAGE

Yesterday in a fast and hard
fought football game the A. c. Col
Iege eleven defeated the strong
Goldsboro Orphanage team by the
score of Is to s. The game was
fiercely fought from beginning to
end In the first quarter the odds
favored the orphanage. They scored
the first touchdown after the college
fumbled on the thirty yard line.
Gallop quickly recovered the FUN
BILE and ran for seventy yards for
the orphanage first and only touch

The orphanage although out
weighed by the collegians show that
they have been wonderfully trained.
The college goal was never in danger
after the first quarter.
The collegians did not put up the
fight in the game that was expected
by their followers. They were too
certain of the game. In the second
half the collegians came back with
er in danger of being scored on.
Their first touchdown came after
five minutes of play in the second
quarter. After Jefferson recovered

a touchdown, but failed to reach

Gray at end played wonderful de-
fensive game as also did Smith and
Manning at tackles. Conkin at half
back was also there on the defen-
sive and played a strong game on the
offensive.
