Roberdel School.

The Post-Dispatch is only too
glad to have reports from the
various schools, and especially is
it DESTROYS of having full reports
of every Commencement We
had hoped to have a long account
of the recent Commencement at
Roberdel. The principal, Mr..
Scott, assured the editor that he
would give the full details in an
article, with the names of the
winners Of the medals and other
awards. But the article was
never written. However, a lady
friend of the school this week
sent the paper the following short
outline of the Commencement,
and we are publishing it; but at
the same time we wish some one
connected with the school had
sent in earlier a more adequate
article, and giving in detail the
enClTe program aS carried out.
ION Monday night, April 25th, the in.
termediate grades gave play, some
recitations and songs that gave great
credit to pupils and trainers.
On Tuesday night was the defamation
contest by three girls and two boys Of
which any school might be proud. The
prizes were two medals given by Miss
Bessie Terry, of Rockingham; the winners
were Kathleen Thomas and Cecil McRae
Wednesday night was the graduating
exercises during which the diplomas and
certificates were awarded. The com
mencement address was given by Prof
R. L. Flowers, of Trinity College, which
was very interesting and educational.
The graduates were Clara Stogner
William Nicholson, John Bailey and ]
Reid Key.

Mr.. Henry Crawford Webb
died here at Rockingham, in his
rooms over the Dockery-McNair

Rufus H. Bennett.

The sudden death on last Sunday morn.
ing of Rufus H. Bennett, of Ellerbe, came
as shock to his many friends. Mr.
Bennett had been in his average health
until on Monday, May 10th, he was found
lying Unconscious near the residence OF
James R. Bennett, his son, in Ellerbe
with whom he lived. The doctors quick,
ly discovered that high blood pressure
was his trouble, but they could not locate
the cause of this high blood pressure.
He had another attack on Thursday
night, the 10Th, and the next night he
was made UNCONSCIOUS for few minutes
by third attack. 1t was deemed best to
carry him to Charlotte for examination
and treatment, so Saturday afternoon he
and his son, James r., Dr. Maness and a
trained nurse left Ellerbe in an automo-
bile for Charlotte, reaching that city late
in the afternoon. He stood the trip re-
markably well, showed little signs of fat
igue and remarked that if he had gone a
few miles more in the car he believed he
would have felt entirely well. He was
placed in the Presbyterian hospital on
arriving in Charlotte, and two specialists
at once went into his case. They too,
agreed that high blood pressure was his
trouble. Soon after midnight he dropped
off to sleep, but about two hours later
woke up, sat up in bed and it was seen
that he was suffering from another at
tack. His nurse used her every effort to
relieve him but he passed away in few
minutes, expiring at 4:20 Sunday morn
ing.
The remains were brought in Rocking
ham Sunday night and carried to Mr.. Ben
nett's home at Ellerbe. The funeral was
held Monday afternoon from the resi-
dence by Rev. Mr.. Bridges, and inter.
ment was in the Chapel graveyard, near
Ellerbe.
MIR. Bennett was born April 9. 1854
and so was 68 years, ! month and l3 days
old. He was son OF John j. and Sarah
Jones Bennett HIS first wife died mum

SIIVERTOWNS INCLUDED IN
20 PER CENT REDUCTIONS

Motorists will all be glad to know
ti-Skid Safety Tread Tires are in
cluded in the recent 20 per cent price
reduction which brought tire prices
back to pre-war basis. Among tires
Silvertown is the name that instantly
conveys the thought of the highest
quality. Motor car manufacturers and
dealers are quick to emphasize to their
prospects that their cars are equipped
with Silvertowns, knowing that nei-
ther explanation nor argument is nee
essary..
This reduction brings Goodrich
prices to a point Is per cent below the
pre-war schedules, az represented by
the 1913 level. 1t is rather startling
to find that in 1920 tire prices were
115 per cent higher than the Goodrich
prices today
Mr.. Herbert Hoover, Secretary oil
Commerce, has recently suggested that
when price reductions are made pres
Aent prices should be shown, compared
with the prices on same article one
year ago In the case of Goodrich this
would show that last November tires
were reduced about Is per cent and on
May End Goodrich reduced prices on
.yevery size and style of their tires in.
|tcluding Silvertown 20 per cent.
A tangible expression of the great
er mileage service now being built into
tires is reflected by the higher basis
Of adjustment generally used by the
leading companies. Thus If tire
proves defective today 1t is adjusted
under the Goodrich plan, on the basis
of 5000 miles If it is 4 Fabric. and 5000
miles il II is Of Cord construction.
Contrast this with the adjustment
basis in use a few years ago, /. e.. $500
miles, 'and it is easy to comprehend
the great progress made in tire manu-
facture.
1t is not a far-fetched conclusion to
say that tires today give from so per
cent to 100 per cent greater mileage
than at present. The conclusion Is OBJ
vious, therefore, that based on COM
parative service tires cost less today
than ever before.
The rubber industry is TO be com
plimented on its rapid progress to-
ward normal. 1t represents an earn
est effort to meet the wishes of the
Administration and the general pub
lie in the establishment of lower price
levels on which all classes of trade
can unite and transact business.
The price reduction campaign insti-
tuted by Goodrich has received the en-
dorsement of motorists, dealers and
the press-as an economic move in
tune with the spirit Of the times.
