BEAUTIFUL CANTATA LAST NIGHT
AT 2ND .PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH,
The most notable musical event in
connection with the Easter season was
the cantata. "The Message From the
Cross," which was rendered at the Sec
ond Presbyterian church last night
Mr. H. Z. Zchm, organist and director.
The solo parts were taken by Miss
Mora Cornelius, soprano; Mr. Avery
Williams, contralto; Mr. John Fox, ten
or, and Mr. Ben. Hawkes, baritone. A
chorus of 30 voices and several solo
ist on stringed and wind instru
ments rendered the choral part of the
cantata. The work is one of beauty
intensely solemn and yet at times tri
umphant in strain. The instrumenta
;kn allowed Mr. Zehm to show to su
preme effect his mastery of the organ.
More beautiful or more compre
hensive handling of the work, instru
tuentally, could not have been imagin-
?d. 'Twas the touch of an artist and
the technique of a skilled, organ mas
ter. . Miss Cornelius, who has a voice
Df exquisite quality, as sweet as a
bird and musical as melody'- itself,
?ang with soul-thrilling effect" the so
prano aria, "Jesus In Thy Dying
Hour," being a gem of lyric and tonal
beauty. Mrs. Williams' rich contralto
was never heard to such fine advan
tage as in the solo, "My Spirit On Thy
Care.'' The rendition was a work of
art. Messrs. Fox and Hawkes were
in perfect voice, each doing splendid
tona land interpretative work. The
cantata was heard by a large audience

THr SERVANT
QUESTION SOLVED
So Far as This Lady is Concern
ed She Doesn't Seem to
Need One.
Pollock, La. Mrs. T. S. Blair, of this
town, has the following to say, which
should be of interest to women gen
erally: "For months, my health was
very bad, and the medicines I took
did not seem to do me any good.
I was very weak and nervous, and
some days, I could not be up.
I asked my husband to get me a
s
bottle of Cardui, the woman's tonic,
to try, and before I had taken one bot
tle I was up and doing my work. Be
fore I commenced taking Cardui, I had
such spells I was not able to do any
thing. Now, I have only taken three
bottles of Cardui in all, and I feel
fine.
A few months ago I weighed 135
pounds. Now I weigh 158, and I do
all my own work, cook, wash and
milk and feel like I did when I was
'sweet sixteen.'
Taking Cardui has cured me."
As a relief from the distressing
symptoms of womanly ailments, noth
ing has been found during .'the past 50
years that would take the- place of
Cardui.
Its superiority is still unquestioned
as a mild, buildingv tonic for cases of
womanly weakness where tired nature
needs help. Made from, purely vege
table ingredients, Cardui has no bad
after effects and can do you nothing
but good.
Try Cardui.

SPARKS SHOWS BE
GAN TOUR AT CONCORD
BIG CROWDS PRESENT
Spick and span with new equip
ment, accoutrements, trappings, etc.,
the Sparks circus arrived here .yes
terday and paraded the streets of the
Queen City this morning as a pre
lude to their second performance
since leaving their winter quarters at
Salisbury. Extending perhaps a mile
in length through the streets, the
parade made an impressive spectacle
and gave promise of an excellent
show thi.3 afternoon, which will be
staged at the grounds "near the
south graded school building.
The circus equipment, including
wagons, cages, harness, uniforms, .in
struments and almost everything con.
nected with it is new, the entire out
fit having been not only . remodeled,
but immensely supplemented during
the past winter. So that the parade,
with all its new fixtures, splendid
horses, funny clowns, bands in beauti
ful uniforms and wagons newly paint
ed made a splendid exhibition and
showed that the circus has grown
and prospered immensely since it was
here last.
John Sparks, the founder of the
show, 'a native of North Carolnia, and
was killed by one of his lions dur
ing a performance some ten years
ago. His brother, Mr. Charles Sparks,
is now general manager and superin
tendent of the cir cue, while Mr. Clif
ton Sparks, son of the founder of
the show, is treasurer, and his broth
er, John -Sparks, Jr., is purchasing
agent, both of them inheriting from
their father the talent essential to
successful howmen. Mr. John Sparks,
manager of the show, is well known
Elk and was entertained at the local
Elks' club here yesterday. He is one
of the leading spirits in the Elks'
lodge at Salisbury.
From a traveling show with a few
wagons, the Sparks' circus has be
come in a few years one of the most
up-to-date and progressive on the
road. It travels on its own train of
cars specially built, with a new ar
rangement that allows the cages to, be
put side to . side instead of end to
end, thus economizing in space. The
cars and flats of the circus are
located on the Southern tracks at
East Second street.
One of the interesting characters
with the show is Col. Towers, mana
ger of the side show, who was here
with a circus 30 years ago and who
talks most interestingly of the Char
lotte of that day and how it ha3
grown.
The personnel of the show, it is
claimed, is kept up to a ,high stand
ard, and one can easily believe it.
A reporter for The . News on the
show grounds this morning found
every attendant courteous and all
questions politely answered. There
