every one of which is a graduate of
the Henderson high school.
In addition, a number of COLLEGES
and universities outside the State are
getting some of Hendersons Young
people for fall study.
Meredith, Peace and ST. Mary's in
Raleigh are receiving a number of
the young women, while good many
others are going to the Woman's Col
lege in Greensboro. The BOYS are
going to the University of North
Carolina, to State College, and some
boys and girls to Elon, and some
from the county to Louisburg, Mars
Hill and elsewhere. Boys are showing
liking to military institutions. and
some have gone to Citadel at Char
lesion and others to Fishburn at
Waynesboro, Va.
Henderson high school graduates
habitually make outstanding records
IN higher institutions after leaving
mere. This years first year bows and
girls are expected to sustain the rec
ord of their alma mater in that re-
spect.

In an appeal today to the church
people and the public generally to
support the revival, Rev. Mr.. Brown

This revival is for you, regardless
of what church you attend or whether
you attend any church. Come and
hear the message of the gospel to
your soul and receive a blessing. A
welcome awaits you"

Diphtheria
Here Still


Diphtberia continues to spread in
Vance county, with two additional
cases reported today by the Vance
County Health Department. That
makes total of Is cases since July
70, when the first case of the pre-
sent season was discovered. The two
new cases were reported on the very
day the fall term of the city and
county schools got under way.
Or. z. P. Mitchell, county health
officer, has pleaded with parents to
have their children treated against
the disease, and there have been
many responses to. his appeal But
thousands of children have not had
either the Schick test, to determine
whether or not there is already i'm
munlty, or the actual anti-diphtheria
serum, which is almost a sure-fire
preventive.
Several hundred children have re-
celved one or both the injections and
OF those submitting to the Schick test,
only II were found positive, meaning
they are susceptible to diphtheria
unless given the treatment.
Dr. Mitchell was especially anxious
that the treatment be given TO as
many children as possible prior. to the
start of the fall term of the schools.
SO that as much precaution as pos
slble be taken before the children be-
gin associating with each other in
intimate contacts. He still urges all
who have not had the test nor the
treatment to submit to it immedi-
ately, as the contagion is already
prevalent in the county, and this is
the surest method of preventing it's
spread to epidemic proportions.

Interstate Commerce Board

Railroad passenger rate slashes
ordered by the Interstate Com
merce Commission went into effect
June 1, and railroad men are hop
ing for a sharp increase in bust
ness, though they have no reliable
way of predicting whether that
will be the effect. At the same
time the public relations depart

announced drastic bus rate mark
downs which went into effect Mon
day. In many cases the bus rate
will drop to as low as L Il cents a
mile, and nearly all revised fares
will be less than 2 cents a mile.
Full summer bus schedules will go
into effect about the middle of
June, much earlier than usual.
The basic train passenger rate was
reduced to 2 cents a mile Com
mutation and other special rates,

ends, is unaffected. A cent a mile
extra will be charged for Pull

The Inauguration of the new pub

strate, a complete success. The
room, which is ample in size for
the practical purposes intended,
was handsomely decorated with
flowers, banners and emblems. The
space was crowded, and a number
who came after the hour of OPEN

STRAWBERRY GLUT LOWERS
PRICES

Last week was a busy week with
the strawberry growers. The yield
was good and the prices fair until
Saturday when there was a break
i'm the market, inferior berries
dropping down to four and six
cents per quart in New York. Bos-
ton (where the best berries are
sent to- has not fallen, we believe,
below ten and has gone as high as
twenty cents per quart. The New
York market rallied again on Mon
day somewhat, but the lateness of
the season, throwing us in compe-
tition with New Jersey, and even
New York and the aEstern States,
puts high prices this week out of
the question. Considering the
abundance of the crop everywhere
we think the growers have realized
their expectations, because from
this fact and the labor troubles in
the cities, they had not set their
figures very high. Even if the
growers should make nothing be-
yond expenses, the money that
finds its way into the pickers'
hands and thus into general circu-
lation at once, will aggregate in
the strawberry sections of the
Peninsula a good many thousands
of dollars. Jacob Leinberger
brought to the Times office on Fri
day a box of strawberries for us
to look at 1--WE did not sample
them) that contained twenty ber-
ries, the largest one of which
weighed two ounces. A grower
down in Wicomico county boasted
of one weighing an ounce and a
half, but our butcher-farmer beats
him twenty-five per cent. And,
what is more, he ships them by the
wagon load, getting 20 cents for
the best. Four cars were loaded
at Clayton, our shipping station,
on Monday. Excellent berries have
been selling in our local market
the past week at four boxes for a
quarter, inferior ones less, and
even the sharpless, that leads all
the others for size and quality,
have been so abundant in some
cases as to be purchased at these
figures. 1t is hardly necessary to
add in closing, that our people
have ben luxuriating on this prince
of berries the past week.
