Patron's Day was observed Friday afternoon by the graded school. Exercises were held in the auditorium which were very interesting. The programme consisted of songs, instrumental music, and recitations by individuals and groups of children from the several grades. Probably owing to the fact that the institution of this day was not generally known among the patrons and friends of the school, there was not a large attendance. It is the intention of Prof. W. H. Ward, superintendent of the school, to observe this day each month on the last Friday afternoon and it is hoped that greaeer interest and closer cooperation between the patrons and the school will be built up by these exercises.

The county; will not have measured up'toi requirements until it reaches, $20 per capita. It would hardly be fair to say j that it is an exception of a negro who knows the date of his birth; but it is a fact that! many of them are in the dark on tne subject. So common is this circumstance, that in his instructions to the gentlemen who had been appointed to help prepare the questionnaires of the registrants within the jurisdiction of Local Board No. 2. the other day. Chairman Brice laid down a rule like this: "When it comes to a case of a negro who does not know the date of his birth, you will simply have to give him a birthday. Of course you will use your best judgment in the light of such information as you can get out of him; but after you have reached an approximate estimate of his age, you will just select a date in the year indicated and write it out in full." As an illustration of the trouble to which Chairman Brice referred this true story applies: One of the members of the assistant legal advisory board, after a tedious cross examination, got this information from a colored registrant: "I don't know the exact date, but 1 was born the next day after the last public lynching. It is the custom of Local Board No. 2, after inducting men into the military service during the afternoon preceding the morning they are to leave, to allow all the privilege of spending the last night at home if they so desire. This custom was fol-j lowed in the case of ihe eighty nparnpc u kn H'OI-U in/ln/.?^J r, v . v. mviUtlCU IIIIU the service on Wednesday afternoon. Chairman Brice explained that they were then in the service of the army and that the government assumed all responsibility for their pay, clothing, subsistence and lodging from thence forward; but such of them as so desired could go j home until next morning pro- j vided they would promise on word of honor to he back at 5 o'clock next morning. About thirty signified their desire to go home and all promised to be back. All were informed that they could go to Ike Wright's hotel for supper, lodging and breakfast at government's expense. The members of the board were doubtful about a few of the negroes; but Mr. Brice explained to all of them how i " ' ' ' V V " I iss.This. t Saturday.
