CHAUTAUQUA IS FINE
Redpath Chautauqua Scores
Unqualified Commenda-
ton in its S Days Stand in
Rockingham This Week.
A Return Next Year Ear
nestly Desired.

The Redpath Chautauqua has come--
and completely captivated our commun-
ity. 1t more than sustains its reputation
as being educational and entertaining;
and our people have fully caught the
Chautauqua spirit.
This is the first time real Chautauqua
has ever been to Rockingham. Conse-
quently our people were dubious about
buying season tickets. But not so if it
comes here again next year. This Chau-
tauqua was guaranteed by Is Rocking
ham citizens; these guarantors took no
interest in the sale of tickets and just a
few days before the opening, the Kings
Daughters took the sale in hand and &C
lively pushed the tickets. They sold
something like $500 worth, leaving de-
ficit of about $3.50 which the guarantors
had to make up costing each about SIS
[but this was latter reduced to approx
mately SIS for each by special sale of the
season tickets allotted to each in the de-
ficitl

morning this week at IL o'clock Miss
Pierson has what is known as "Children's

Fogleman on Success or Failure" Tues

Tonight the director, Mr.. Price, vii

$4,000 IN SCHOOLS
Contracts Let Wednesday for $50, 900
School Building for Rohanen. A
Similar Contract Will Be Given for
Steele's Mills. Schools to Be Fin
ished by October LIST.

In December of 1919 the cot
ton mills of Hannah Pickett, En-
twistle and Roberdel No. 2. set
aside the sum of $4,000 as a
fund for erecting a modern
school building for their three
adjoining villages; and at the
same time Steele's Mills set aside
$25, 1000 for a building for its com
munity. The money was placed
to itself for this purpose, but
work was deferred until building
conditions should be more favor.
able. And this was wise, as
doubtless a forty per cent better
building can be built now for
$4,000 than would have been the
case a year ago.
The mills decided that now is
the proper time to build, so they
received bids on Wednesday.
The contract for the Rohanen
school was let to T. c. Thomp.
son & Bros, of Charlotte, and
very likely that for Steele's Mills
will be awarded to the same
firm within a day or so. The
contract calls for completion o1
the building by October lst
which will enable the next term
to be taught in a model building
There will be 8 class rooms, and
an auditorium seating nearly
thousand. 1t will be of brick
and two stories. 1t will cost
around $4,000 and the furnish
ing will require several thousand
more, and this the mills will give
The site selected is near the
Hannah Pickett tank about cen
ter of the three villages. Tht
building for Steele's Mill will b
like the Rohanen building, bu
will be7just a trifle smaller.
