WEST END SCHOOL. The Closing Exercises Held Friday Night-Interesting and Pleasant Occasion. The teachers of the West End school, Misses Laura Blease, Bernice Martin, and Sallie Mae Burton, de cided just a few days ago that they would give an entertainment at the close of the school. The entertainment was given Friday night and it was a decided success. The children did well and greatly enjoyed the occasion. The school building is a very hand some one and was built by the stock holders of the mill. It is well appoint ed but there is need for a hall in which to hold the exercises. Only the par ents were invited Friday night 1--nd the hall was crowded. There are many pretty and bright children over here and the pity is they are not given more time to go to school. Too many of them are taken away from the school at an age when they should be kept there. The total enrolment of the school the past year was only 164. while the average attendance was but no. In a population as large as that of West End the school population is much larger than the above enrol ment would indicate. . Still it should be said to the credit of President McCrary that he takes a lively interest in doing everything that will promote the best interests and advance the comfort and happi ness of the employes of his mill. The teachers are doing good and faithful work in this school and the children are advancing as rapidly as their op portunity will permit. Mr. McCrary added another teacher the past year andiat the recent meet ing of the board three teachers were elected. This has enabled the teach ers to do more thorough and more satisfactory work. It was a pleasure to the representa tive of this paper to see what a deep interest the little children, and some of them were small enough to be in the kindergarten, took in the exercises Friday night and how eager they were to say their parts and es pecially to note how well they per formed. The Rev. N. N. Burton introduced the little speakers and announced the program. The following is the program ot exercises: The Program. Chorus-School. Prayer. Chorus-School. Recitation-Samuel Taylor.

He smiled. Then he resumed: "The brilliant and unfortunate Ste phen Crane was one of the reporters of the Graeco-Turkish war. In a cer tain skirmish the Turkish forces turned tail and fled. Crane wrote the story of the skirmish and then sub mitted his manuscript to the Turkish consor. - "The censor read it gravely. " 'This will have to be toned down.' he said. And where Crane had writ ten that the Turks had fled the cen sor made it that they had retired in good order; where Crane had said they had turend tail. he made it they had faller- back steadily. Finally the censor came to the expression 'routed.' and he frowned intently. un able to think of an euphemism for 'rot. 'I can't think.' he said. 'of a mild er expression than this one here: "The Turks were rounted." Can you help me? You are a writer?" "Grane answered gravely: 'If I were yon I'd simply say that the indomitable Turks changed front andi advanced.'" Doom of the Boll Weevil. Atlanta Journal. If the experi-nts now being made by the United States government are sccessiul, the boll weevil is doomed. The South American red ant has been found to be a deadly foe to the cotton ravager. The theory nirst ad vanced was that the weev'il would be destroyed by the red ant. There were some who mocked at the declaration. believing that the ant and the boll w~eevil would become the best of friends and ere long would live in congeniality and bliss on the same cotton stalk. But experiments have proved the truth of the theory of the college man who first brought the wonder ful announcement to the cotton world. Oficial tests have been made in Texas and with great satisfaction. The red ant instantly attacks the boll weevil. It is a duel to the death--the death of the weevil. In many cotton fields in the south Ired ants are now being distrbuted Iand experts are fi'm in their faith that ere long the red ant will com pletely triumph and put into the pockets of the farmers of the south several million dollars annually.
