Miss Nance's work in this 1

i,ar continued throughout the 1
lj week, this being- her last t
ltment. She put in full i
oo, sometimes filling- two 1
itments in one day. 1
For some unaccountable rea- 1
>n the meeting here was not j
ell attended. We are inclined <
> think that this was due to a <
isunderstanding as to the ^
lace and the hour; for surely
) one, whether interested in c
:hool work or not, could hardly i
J1 to be benefited by hearing t
le lecture that was delivered 2
?re by Miss Nance.
The meeting- was held in the
jw auditorium of the graded
:hool in the presence of about ^
:ty people. After being in- t
oduced by Mr C W Wolfe, Miss 3
ance began her lecture. She
an eloquent, earnest and [
rceful speaker and her charm- s
gly modufiited enunciation
ould carry conviction even if
;r argumeut were not so con- j
incingly clear. For more than
i hour she held her audience |
iptive in her appeal for the
iral schools?the country boys .
id girls who are without the
ivantages of those in towns |
id cities and yet who often- |
mes have a better intellect and
reater possibilities for achievig
something in life than those
ore favored by their environent.

hole enthusiastic temperament ,
^eros to be absorbed in trying '
) build up the waste places in
11 educational way. She is do- ?
ig a noble work, which if cared
to its full fruition, will
iuse generations yet unborn to
jvere her name.
In concluding her address |
liss Nance paid a high tribute
) the splendid aid given her in
lis county by Mr J G McCul>ugh,
our efficient and widewake
county superintendent of
lucation.
It is gratifying to know that
liss Xance has consented to ream

i HE OLD NORTH STATE
ioes Prohibition by Big Majority?Car
ry 78 Out of 98 CountiesRaleigh,
N. C-, May 26.?
North Carolina was carried for
State prohibition today by a
majority. that is estimated at
:rom 40,000 to 42,000 on reports
ind estimates received up to
midnight. The prohibition ticket
las carried 78 out of 98 counties*.
jy majorities approximating
18,500. The anti-prohibition
:icket has carried twenty counts
by majorities approximating
5,600. This calculation is
:>ased on estimates, and the
Prohibition Leaguers claim it is
Dossible for the prohibition maority
to reach 50,000. A close
istimate of the vote would give
i prohibition majority of about
15,000.
The election passed off very
piietly, no disturbances of any
nomeut being reported. The
otal vote cast in the State was
ibout 17?,000.
