TWENTY-ONE IN GRADUATING CLASS—MISS LILLIAN COOPER AWARDED FIRST HONOR. One man in Dooly county has har vested forty bushels of wheat from one acre of ground. Has any other Dooly county farmer done better than ttfht? This was done without the use •of fertilizer. The ,man is Mr. S. N. , Lupo. Mr. Lupo's average yield was about 20 bushels, this one acre being particularly fine, was. carefully har vested and kept separate from the •other until weighed. Forty bushels to the acre is considered a remark ably prolific yield for the best land The- results are especially gratifying since they were accomplished without artificial enrichment of the land. "Mr. Lupo expresses a willingness to put the greater part of his harvest at the disposal of the government. The 1918 commencement exercises came to a close with the program pre sented by the graduating class wed- nes evening. The first of the series 1 RE-CLASSIFICATIONS BY RECENT ERROR THE DISTRICT BOARD .

THE FOLLOWING CASES WERE UNANIMOUSLY PASSED ON BY DISTRICT BOARD AND CANNOT BE APPEALED TO PRESIDENT.

These exercis es this year were of wide interest by quota being more than doubled. Ordi nurily an attempt to explain an error serves only to make it more conspic- and errors in newspapers fre quently occur. The reason for this mistake is so easily explained howev er and the explanation reflects creditably upon those about whom thc error was made as to make it a real pleasure to make the explanation which is this: Pinehurst always comes forward so generously with any work that is assigned to her that those who know her have learned always to ex pect great things of her, consequently thc News, knowing that the quota as signed to her did not measure up to her standard, inadvertantly fixed her apportionment at a figure more near ly commensurable with her capabili- MEETING TO COMPLETE ORGAN IZATION HELD TUESDAY AF- TERNOON.

A bright play featuring a number of the class in the cast held the place of promi nence. in the evening entertainment. Others took part in the lively chorus es that added* brilliancy to the pro gram. Always the most impressive part of the graduating program is the delivery of thc diplomas. This was done by Judge W. H. Lasseter, Chair man of the Board of Education, fol lowing a short address. Prof. Richardson announced the names of those who had carried off the honors.

Relief from the heat and dust that have prevailed for some time past * came in the form of a storm of rain, wind and lightning Tuesday night Tho heavy downpour of rain was at tended by intermittent flashes of lightning und strong wind. The only damage of any importance was done by the wind, fences were blown down, shelters ripped from their support and carried to considerable distances, trees stripped of their limbs and in some instances entirely uprooted, tele phone lines, twisted, crossed and brok en, poles lifted from the ground, etc. One house in the negro district is said to have been demolished the woman occupant receiving slight injuries. The clarification of the atmosphere and the refreshing effect upon vege tation are sufficient compensation for the fury of the storm which was soon spent.
