HIGH SCHOOL
COMMENCEMENT
Continued from page -

the hero Ryder reads the book,
discovers that he is the hero, and is
anxious to meet the authoress. In
response to his note Shirley calls 'on
him, and, as Miss Green, is retained
to write his biography, and uses her
position to obtain letters from
Ryder's files which prove herfather's
innocence. Ryder and his wife, not
knowing her real identity, become
very fond of her, and Ryder finally
decides that she is the wife for his
son. He begs her to help him with
his son, in his attempt to break his
infatuation for Miss Rossmore, and
finally pleads with her to marry his
son. Unable to carry on the decep-
ton any longer, Shirley reveals her
identity, and pleads with Ryder to
help her father Ryder however,
flies into towering passion, re-
fuses to help and orders her from the
house. Shirley defies him, tells him
exactly what he is, threatens to 90
to Washington herself and reveal all
that she has learned. Despite
Jefferson's pleading, she absolutely
refuses to marry him, because of his
father, and jefferson leaves the
house in anger and dispair. Ryder
after a sleepless night is so i'm
pressed by the independence and the
staunch fighting qualities of Shirley,
that he telegraphs to Washington to
have the proceedings against her
father stopped, and after many vain
attempts to see Shirley, at length in
duces her to see him, tells her what
he has done and finally prevails up
on her to accept his son.

To Reorganize Southern Tuberculo-
sis Conference Object of Call
Meeting in Asheville

Whether or not to reorganize the
Southern tuberculosis Conference is
one of several questions settled at an
informal conference of southern tu-
berculosis workers called to meet in
Asheville September II and IS, The
reorganization of this conference has
grown out of the general feeling
that such an organization is greatly
needed in the south. The last meet
ing of the conference was IN 1920.
All representative of tuberculosis
sanatoria, secretary of local tuber-
culosis associations, and other inter-
ested in tuberculosis work in the
south are invited to attend the con-
ference.
To be considered along with the
question of whether or not to revive
the Tuberculosis Conference will be
the Christmas Seal Sale of 1928 and
plans for the Annual meeting of the
National tuberculosis Association at
Memphis next year and topics per-
tanning to sanitorium work.

Big BALD SALE
GETS Big CROWD
Property of the Late Lindsay Pat
..terson Sold to Highest Bidder by
Winston-Salem Company

The sale of the Big Bald Property
formery the Lindsay Patterson farm
by the Atlantic Coast Realty & Auc-
ton Co., Winston Salem, on last
Monday was a splendid success.
Possibly a thousand people were
present on that day, no doubt many
coming for miles primarily to see the
airplane flights. Owing however to
the rainy day the aviator was forced
to confine his riding just to going
and coming, for there We're no flights
during the stay on the mountain.
The property was purchased as
whole by Messrs Donald Boyden of
the Blowing Rock Hotel and z. V.
Buchanan of Hickory, the price be-
ing S22,000.00. 1t is not general :
known what the purposes of the pur-
chasers are, but it is supposed that
the land was bought for development.
Mr.. Shepherd who was in charge
of the advertising end of the sale
left yesterday morning.

G. w. BARNES DEAD

By perplexing oversight we fail
ed in our last issue to note the death
of Mr.. G. w. (Little Bud) Barnes
which occurred at his home on How
ards Greek Wednesday evening Aug
ust 29th. Mr.. Barnes had been in
very poor health for some time and
had taken advantage of almost every
thing known to medical skill to re-
gain his shattered health, but to no
avail. On Monday proceeding his
death he visited as a last resort an
itinerant physician now located at
Banner Elk, but he failed to give
him any hope. bud" Barnes was a
straight upright citizen his word al
ways being as good as his bond. He
went on in the even tenor of his
way and was highly respected by all
who knew him. He leaves wife and
one son and one daughter to mourn
his departure.

THELOVELY
MOUNTAIN REGION
Good Roads are Finding Their Way
Into the Western Country Slowly
But Surely.
FRED A. OLDS


The romance of tour in the North
Carolina mountain region is some
thing which never 'wears OFF, So
when Fred H. May the editor of the
Icnoir News Topic, and the write;
punched their hits" in an auto tour
of what folks call the "Lost Prov
ince," the high and cool and lovely
counties of Allegheny, Ashe and Wa
tauga, in super-heated July, there was
a real thrill from start to finish.
These counties have poured their
substance" into Tennessee or Virgin
Ia, because the railways in Watauga
and in Ashe run northward, Allegha-
ny being as yet utterly ''railroadless"
The route from Lenoir goes by Pat
terson, on the upper Yadkin River,
there clear and fine, a saucy noun
tain stream which operates its first
mill. Before it enters South Carolina
it operates many another plant and
lights many a town. The road bull
ders were at work all along the line
from Lenoir to the top Of the Blue
Ridge at Blowing Rock and the steam
drill, the steam shovel and dynamite
were seen or heard all along the way.
Blowing Rock village is as unattract-
i've as of yore, and one could well
wish that its main street, of ragged
shacks mainly, could be swept away.
1t is out of line in the lovely noun
tains and the new building creations
and spoils the landscape.
The new hotel at Blowing Rock,
the MAYHEM, on the very rim of the
mighty cliff, is delight. 1t is under
the same management as the, noted
Carolina hotel at Pinehurst and has
drawn tourists from all parts of the
South, yet three fourths of them are
from North Carolina and South Car
olina. There is a golf course at the
Green Park and Mayview is building
another. Houses of stone and of chest
nut bark are greatly IN vogue IN what
may be termed the new Blowing Rock
The Mayview is a sort Of Aladdins
palace and it's dining room with col
umns and fireplace of snowy quartz
seems to be the creation of one of
the 'genie." The real life of Blowing
Rock is only now beginning. 1t is the
crowning glory of the Blue Ridge and
when the highways to it are all com
pleted it will take rank as one of the
foremost resorts in the United States
The highway to Boone is under cor
struction and it gives an idea of the
super difficulty of road building in
the ''high places" There is now a
detour to Boone, and it gives wild
ride, in fact as lady tourist put il

Bond Denied One Miles Love Placed
in Jail Here Last Week on Most
Horrible Charge.

On last Saturday when Miles Love
was brought into court charged with
the Staying of his three year old child
the grand jury had been discharged
it vas impossible for his case to come
up for trial at this term of court,
however habeas corpus proceedings
were heard before Judge Finley and
the prisoner was remanded to Jail
without bond.
Four state witnesses were examin-
ed and the evidence was most dam
aging in every instance 1t showed
that even ten years ago soon after
their first child was born that the
wife was chased from home by her
husband, carrying with her through
the darkness of the night her babe
only two months old. Other evidence
was that later time he shot at her
the ball passing near her head. and
on that eventful Sunday the last
words he said to his wife were so
vile, that they cannot be put into
type. He stepped into the yard, gun
in hand, the witness proceeding him
few steps, when he cursed and fir
ed into the house, the bullet taking
effect in the right side of the child's
head. Trivett heard it fall and rush
ed il to find the little girl weltering
in her own blood, the wife scream
ing: Lord have mercy, don't let him
kill me toov He carried the child
out on the porch and later took hee
in and laid her on the bed, the faith
er never showing even the slightest
emotion. Death did not occur unit!
Tuesday.
AS the evidence now stands the
tragedy is fearful one. unless new
witnesses develop who will ameliorate
it to some extent.

cts about time for another big
one!"
Not very comforting words to hear
as the third floor of the Y. M. c. A.
administration building began to
shake and rock! We forgot our jap
anese lesson and it was some time
before we could settle down to it
again. Plenty came, such as they
were, and sometimes typhoon came
with them. But still the "big one"
that was due failed to show up. This
was while we were living in Toxic
during the school year of 1878.
1t was with no small degree of sat
isfaction and comfort that we moved
away from this great center of the
empire, and earthquake belt to a
place "way down south" Typhoons
still came our way but while earth
quakes continued to make our hearts
beat faster now and then they were
never known to have done much dam
age in that section.
Today however the empire is in
mourning, for the "big one" has
come! Her capital city is in ruins
her finest and most important port
city is in ruins, and long chain Of
towns and cities down to and includ-
ing the splendid city of Nagoya, are
destroyed or frightfully wrecked
Hundreds of thousands dead, millions
homeless and hungry and panic
stricken. An earthquake unparalel-
ed in history, typhoons, tidal wave,
innumerable fires: these have all COM
bined to make the most awful disaster
that has ever befallen that land of
disasters.
Perhaps no other country has suf-
fered so much from these powerful
forces of nature and yet perhaps no
other country owes more Of it's beau
! ty to them.
The reports that have come to us
so far are far from being satisfacto-
ry and until accurate and complete
reports the natural desire and ten
dency is to believe the reports are
exaggerated.
l wish l could find comfort in the
thought that such was the case. But
being familiar with that land as
am, l can easily believe the loss of
life has been as great if not greater
than thus far reported. Four million
people live lin Toxic and it's suburbs
four million people in city of mar
row, crooked streets. Hard to escape
from at any time and next to impos-
sible when many of these mar
row streets are blocked by wrecked

NEWS ITEMS FROM THE
TRAINING SCHOOL

Miss Annie Dougherty a few DAYS
ago sang at chapel exercises of the
Appalachian School a solo, in most
pleasing and attractive manner.
Rev. Norman H. Camp, an evange-
list of Chicago has talked at Chapel
exercises of the School and conduct
ed devotional exercises for several
days. Mr.. Camp has been holding ev-
angelistic services in the Baptist
Church in Boone for three weeks, and
preaching very strongly some Bible
doctrine not generally preached at
this day, but which he and others
think should be especially stressed
at this time. These relate for the
most part of what the Bible speaks
of as "the last days" One of his
sermons was on the Return of the
Jews to Palestine in which he said
they were returning at rapid rate.
Another was about the secon1 COM
ing of the Saviour. In later dis
course he displayed a map showing
the different ages of the world from
the Creation to the Saviour's Second
Coming. Mr.. Camp uses the scrip
lures very fully as proof of his po-
sitions and makes his sermons very
clear and impressive. On Sunday he
preached to very large cvagrcra-
tion on the subject: "Lost Sheep"
especially for the children and for
the young people. He uses black
board to illustrate his sermons and
he made this sermon very impressive
and attractive to children. On Sun
day afternoon he gave most i'm
pressive sermon on 'The Signs Of the
Times" in which he held his audience
for more than an hour at the closest
while he related the various signs in
dicating the end of this age and gave
texts of scripture to prove his every
position. He discussed this subject un
der four heads, "The Earth Signs ~
The World Signs" THE Church
Signs" and "The Jewish Signs" II
the first he reminded his hearers of
the recent numerous earthquakes vol
canoes, and other earth signs just
the scriptures, so spoken by our Sa-
viour and others, have indicated CT:
| the second he quoted various tc1 IS
from the Bible as to wars, farlines,
pestilences, and many other things
which are signs of the lend" Of this
age, and our Saviour's coming. On
the third he spoke of the falling aw,
ay of the true Faith which was hap
pening, and as the Scriptures relate
On the fourth he showed that the
Jews were returning to Jerusalem
just as prophecy said they would al
the time of the end, he did not see
the date for the end, as do some, but
only gave the signs. This sermon
made strong impression on his au
dience.

British Colonial Office that the pro-
posed excavation Of the ancient city
Of David will be made in the vicinity
Of the Cenacolo. on the hill popularly
known as Mount Zion. The real site
II Zion, the city Of David, has long
been known to archeOlogists. 1t lies
not on the hill on which Cenacolo
stands but further eastward on the
little triangular spur called Ophel.
which runs southwark to its apex
above the old pool Of Sloan. 1t was
on this small spur, which the Jebusites
first occupied, that David founded his
city Of Zion. Here his tomb will prob
ably be found and here the excava-
tions will be carried out.
