Louise Efird of Albemarle was the winner of the state spelling contest held Saturday night at Charlotte. There were 39 contestants coming from all sections of the state.
Miss Agnes Harrill of the Lattimore school, this county, remained in the contest until only 11 were left and made a very fine showing, being in the final contest made up of 13 spellers. The young Cleveland county champion fell on the word “metropolis.”
