Spelling Contest
Sponsored by B.P.W.
Nearly Completed

Results of the fourth in the series
of spelling tests being, held in the
fourth and Junior high school grades
under the sponsorship of the Business
and Professional Women's club are
as follows: Junior high: sixth grade
Miss Bunn's room, 99.7; seventh grad >,
Miss Kittrell's room, 98.8; fourth
grade, Miss Sallie Lou Davis room
1913, with Miss Gary's room close
second with 99.5.
The fifth and last test which will
be given next Friday morning at the
usual time, will determine the win
ners. The committee finds that in
every room except one, there is a de-
cided improvement in the spelling,
but that room has maintained about
the same through the series.
One B. p. w. member has suggeste7
that an award be made for the room
showing the greatest improvement
Should such an award be given, it
would most likely be for a smaller a
mount than the original awards, the
third being for possibly nalf the
others. a4
Letters have been mailed to all par
ticipating teachers, showing the stand
ing for the series to date. The club

Der Friday or this week. The governor
has had the entire case record before
him since last week and has been Civ
ing it prolonged and intense consii-
Grafton.
If there were no aggravating cir
cumstances in the case, it is almos..
certain that Governor Hoey, one OF
the kindliest and most. merciful of
men, would have little etrouble arriv
ing at a decision. The very idea of
executing a 16-year-old is reprlsive to
him, but the Smith record presents
features indicating that the atrocious
crime for which the youth was con-
victed was committed with more than
ordinary generalization and with
GOODNESS which is not usually aSsociat-
ed with similar offenses.
In other words, the governor ap-
pears to he wavering between his ma
tural desire to extend clemency to
goungster and his firm belief that the
full penalty of the law should be in
flicted upon all who are Of sufficient
mentality to realize what they were
about.
Evidence in the Smith case showed
that the Negro coolly plotted and cum
ningly executed a deliberate, consid-
cred criminal assault on a 13-year old,
white girl; his repeated attacks ovec
a period of two hours indicating that
his was not a4crime due to sudden
rousing Of hot sexual passion.
The precision and craft with which
the plan was laid and carried out has
has about convinced the governor
that Smiths mentality was high
enough to make him fully responsible
for his acts. g#ns
