SelfPresentation of mm, Diplomas Entertainment Friday NightThe Honor Roll. Lastj week's News-Herald cidedly one of the best entertainments that has ever been given by the school was presented in the auditorium by the primary department. The "scarecrow drill" was exceedingly amusing. The sunbonnet babies in their quaint little costumes and in their tableaux representing the occupations of the week, delighted their audience greatly. The star feature of the evening was the operetta, "The Land of Dolls." Two little girls dream of a visit to Doll Land and of their experiences there.

The amusing situation amusing to the audience but distressing to them is presented of their encounter with the rag doll, which results in his losing some of his Good Roads. Speech Delivered by Paul G. Spain-hour at the Graduating Exe cises of Morganton Graded School. Wherever you find good roads you will find civilization, but wherever there are no roads you will find uncivilized people. The Virginia Legislature is laboring earnestly to to solve the convict problem.

For many years the Old Dominion has farmed out its convicts to northern shoe manufacturers, selling its erring citizens into slavery and receiving but little for their services. The system has not been pleasing to the majority of the leading citizens of the State, and now that the contract with the shoe manu contained an account of the contests of the members of the plnJ graduating class of the Morgan-ton Graded School in essays and orations and a summary of the SALLOWNESS This disorder is due to a torpid liver involving the stomach and bowels.

It is true that it will take money to build good roads; I do not deny it; in fact, it will cost millions of dollars if we were going to build a great system of roads in the United States, but we cannot expect to build them in a day; it will take decades to complete the work; we will never build them if we do not start. We can begin by giving national aid to assist the states or we can commence by building certain great highways, such as the Cumberland pike, that was completed over a century ago and yet remains as a monument to the wisdom of our forefathers. We have heard it said many times, but we cannot say it too often, that the split-log drag is the cheapest and best good road ma'cer ever invented.

Cleveland has a chain-gang and is building a fine system of roads; Burke is using the same roads that she had before the war, and maybe before the Revolutionary War. The same is true of Catawba county as of McDowell and Cleveland counties. Why is this? It is because these counties have gone in debt for roads, have issued bonds and have built a fine system of roads, while Burke has done nothing. neff ectual schemes their fathers and forefathers used.
