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.

1887, and united with the Fort
Mill Baptist church about six

with Christ is far better."
Besides her parents, and an
aged grandmother. Miss Bailes
is survived by several brothers
ani sisters, one brother, Eli.
being with the American army
in France.
Funeral services were held at
the home of her parents Sunday
afternoon at 3 o,clock, the Rev.
J W. H. Dyches, her pastor,

immediately at Unity cemetery,

and the many floral tributes attesting
the esteem in which the
deceased was held.

York county stood ninth in
the list of the counties of the
State with regard to the amount
of War Savings stamps purchased

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

desire. This custom was fol-j

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
