Roof gave their spring recital in the' High School auditorium Thursdaynight of last week, to one of the lar-' gest crowds ever attending a recital; in Lexington. The program was var| ied and interesting throughout, as was evidenced by the frequent applause given the performers. Each J one performing their part creditably; to themselves and teacher, demonstra ting- thoroughly the excellent training received during the session. Mrs. Roof has been a teacher in the mu-| sic department of the Lexington school for 20 years or more, and du-l ring that time has produced some finished musicians, many of whom took their first lessons from her when they were tiny tots. The pro-j gram Thursday night consisted of 25; numbers ranging from the simplest beginners number rendered by little Miss Sara Hampton Kaminer, 7 years of age, to the most difficult classic by Miss Sara Black, a June gradu-; ate. Following the recital the Four o'clock Club served refreshments, completing a most entertaining and! instructive evening. # CAKE WALK AND BOX PARTY "There will be a cake walk, box party and an ice cream supper at Sharp's Hill School house, Saturday n:';ht May 4, for the benefit of Harn o iy church.

STORES CLOSE FOR f Rift HAI.I.Y SJ/jL ZX1XJU2U X I Witfii every business house in Lexington closed, and amid a steady downpour cf rain, the people of Lexi net on pacbed the county court hou^e to its fail capacity on Friday afternoon, to hour addresses by the Rev. R. R. Murchiscn and Mrs, Annie I. Rembert. The occasion was the bic: patriotic rally called by Dr. D. M. Crossor. of Lcesvii.'e, chairman of the T.a?-CifT4-/\n C (, frcinpil r\? TOp fense. It was an occasion for the people to demonstrate, in an open and public way, their patriotism as .. well as their allegiance to. and faith in, the American flag. And every member of the large and enthusiastic audience entered into the meeting with whole-hearted fervor, and eagerly did they grasp every word that fell from the speakers' lips. It was an audience r-ompo-ed of men, women and children?every one of whom are enlisted in the great work; of winning the war, and helping to give liberty and freedom to all man-j kind. The meeting was opened with a song, "In the Sweet Bye and Bye,"' led by Sheriff Sim J. Miller, follow-j ed by the invocation by the Rev. W. j H. Riser, pastor of Saint Stephen's' Lutheran church. { Dr. Crosson, in intro'ducing Dr. Mur; chison, thanked the people for their attendance, which was but another evidence of Lexington's genuine pat-1 riotism. Mr. Murchison stated, at( the outset, that it is not necessary i for one to go across the water, right; I in the midst of the fray, to realize: the horrors that are daily and hourly j : being perpetrated by the enemy. Hei declared that the great majority of; the people do not yet realize its ser-1 to trust the military leaders and| [ Woodrow Wilson in this great crisis, j | Our armies have been raised with j great rapidity, he said, but nothing; compared to the need of the hour. ; Every leading man realizes now that | the United States was a little ^oo slow? I in declaring war; but the fact that we j had always been a peace-loving peoj pie, was largely responsible for this. ! It is an enormous undertaking, and! | the people of this country are willing j iousness. The speaker declared that! j the ill feeling occassioned by the War, i Between the Sections had not yet fi- j j nally passed away, and this, too; had: I hppn a draw-back, to a certain extent j ! in getting the people aroused to a j full sense of duty.Happily, however, j the time has arrived when every Ai merican no longer knows no North, i I no South no East or no West, but i that Americans everywhere are lin-; j ' i ing up with the one great purpose of . making the peoples of the world free | Dr. Murchison scored the manner j in which pacifists are spreading Ger-j I man propaganda throughout the i country. The fact that we should I or should not have entered the war. j I said he," is as ancient as Revolutioni ary history," and ail must act and act wisely. Men are needed faster ! than we can get them across the wa! ter, and these men must ,be cared for. They are making the supreme sacrifice, and it is the duty of those! who are left behind to see to it that they are made as comfortable as possible. In this connection, the speak er urged the members of the Lexingj ton Red Cross to put every ounce of I ! energy into their work; that wounded soldiers in the trenches are praying for the bandages to hold out until their wounds are dressed. The speaker closed with an elo! quent and touching appeal for the, : thousands of little innocent childrenin the war-ridden sections who are i without food raiment. His was a masterly presentation of the needs - - * 1 of the hour, and he sat down amia much applause. The next and last speaker was Mrs! i Annie I Rembert, of Columbia, a wop man who has given most of her timej and her talents for many years in the ?reat work of stamping out tuberculosis in South Carolina. Mrs. Rembert stated, however, that this was . not her mission on this oceassion; < that she was here for the purpose of arousing the people of Lexington to < a cleeror sense of duty at this time? in this hour of the nation's crisis. I wish ! could go out on an old time campaign and meet the people face , to u ever./where."she saul, "and endoavrr to impress upon them the , sacrif 3s which cur-soldiers are mak in;Mrs. Lembert declared that , j ev sol iicr now in cainp realizes I fully chat they are offering their all * i Continued On Last Laye * 4 SORE THAN ISO F.
