Eraser, president of Queen's College, were features of the closing • exercises.

Miss Mary Elizabeth Blackwelder won the Ross Essay medal, given yearly to that Senior writing the second best essay. The medal was presented bv Prof. Webb.

The class gift, a check for $75.00, was presented to tin* school by Mr. Fred Goodman, class President. The nnmey will be .-spent for a platform "curtain for the new High School building. In ac cepting the gift Prof. Webb explained that it is the largest gift ever made by a Senior Class, and came from the largest class in the history of the school. Mr. E. T. Hartsell presented the cer tificates of graduation. In bis short talk Mr. Hartsell declared there are two essentials for success. The first. he said, is discipline, the second, vision. "You have had discipline for eleven years in the school here." he added, "and you must’ use that discipline in your fu ture work. The greatest tiling any col lege Can give you is vision. If you get the vision and apply to it the discipline you have secured here, you cay make a success ot any work you undertake." The greatest thing any college cau give, Mr. Hartsell said, is a vision of life work, and he advised the members of the grad uating class to decide as soon as possi ble on the life work they plan to take Up. "Dynamics of Society." was the sub ject of an able and interesting address by Dr. Fraser, who had spoken in Con cord on former occasions and who is ev er popular here. It is always a great pleasure for him to talk to young people, lie stated at the beginning .and it is an added pleasure to lalk to young people whf) are in pursuit of learning. "Such people are not satisfied merely to live," lu- continued. “They want to contribute something to civilization. That is the right spirit. You should strive to be dynamics of society. The world needs your dynamic force. "We are living in an exacting and demanding age. The very circumstances call loudly for dynamic manhood and womanhood. The world is running riot with pleasure and fun. Diversion has captured all the time of many who have not been balanced well. There are a few things essential to make one a dynamic in society. __ "E Character. We can never do more than we are. Manhood and woman hood must fulfill every promise with gen uine character. When the old King of Israel fay dying, he summoned his suc cessor to his bedside and gave as his parting command : "Be thou strong and show thyself a man." The tasks which challenge today call in clear-cut demand for such manhood and womanhood. “2. In order to be dynamics of socie ty, we must relate our lives to the pur pose for which they were given. A great statistician recently said that the great majority of men and women are living their lives, investing their talents, amass ing their fortunes and hoarding their fortunes, as if life had no origin or des tiny. John says that Jesus, knowing tliut He was come from God and went to God. girded himself with a towel and began to wash the disciples’ feet. There is an intimate relation existing between the consciousness of who we are, whence we came, where we go and what we do. "8. In order to be dynamics of socie ty, we must also realize that whatever talent we possess was given for a pur pose, and that it was not to be kept, but to be expressed in terms of service for man and God. "4. In order to be dynamics of society we must realize that there is an individ ual task for everyone of 11s. When the Master went into the Temple during its construction, he laid the plan upon the trestle board for each workman upon* the sacred edifice. There is a plan in which you and I have a place, a definite individ ual task assigned to every one of us. “5. In order to be dynamics of so ciety, we must be willing to allow our en ergies to be expressed in humble and ob scure spheres and so-called insignificant duties. James Ilussell Lowell, in his wonderful jioein, “The Vision of Sir Eaunfal,” tells of a knight who went forth in the morning of his life with glis tening mail and upon buoyant charger to seek and recover the Holy Grail. Into different dimes he went and sought for years and years in vain. When health .was broken and hope was daunted, when his mail was rusted and his steed was faltering and unsteady, with bowed head THE CONCORD TIMES and downcast eyes he rode Lack toward the old castle from which he had gone, and he found the lep**r whom he had slighted as he went forth. Now he dis mounts. takes the only musty crust of bread in his. possession, breaks it in two and gives half to the begging leper. He turns to the brook hard by. breaks the ice over it and fills the bartered cup hanging by his side with water ami •presses this to the lejier's lips. Then he realizes that he has found the Christ, and .that lie was in possession all the while of the Holy Grail. Henry Van Dyke tells in the story of 'The Other Wise Man' something of the same moral. We are rinding in the things that we are prone to overlook the great discoveries and possessions thar we seek, y ‘ "My day lias all gone”—'twas a woman who spoke. And she turned her face to the sunset glow. • "And I have been busy the whole day long Vet -for my ' work there is nothing to show." "No painting nor sculpture her hand had wrought ; Xo laurel of fame her labor had won. What was she doing in all the long day With nothing to show at the set of . sun ? Humbly and quietly all the long day Had her sweet service for others been done: j Vet for the labors of heart and of hand What Could she show at set of sun? Ah. she forgot that our Father in Heaven Ever is watching the work that we do. And records .He keeps of all we forget Then judges our work with judgment that is true. “For an Angel writes down in a volume of gold The beautiful deeds that all do below. Tho' nothing SHE had at se£ of sun The angel above had something to show." Graduates From Wittenberg College. Mr. John IE McDaniel, son of Mr. ;nd Mrs. 11. W.

Pierce, pastor of four Baptist chinches in Cum berland county, was kilted and R. (). Garrett, clerk of the Cumberland county ' court, was seriously, if not fatally wound led at Cumberland Courthouse early to , day in a shooting affray which local state I and police authorities believe was the (-culmination of a political feud which has < raged in the county for a number of years. The minister was shot dead near his home. Garrett, who was brought to this city with a pistol wound in his side, and his brother. L. (*. Garrett. Cum berland county commissioner jn chan cery. were arrested late today and charg jed with killing the minister. L. C. (lar i retr was placed iu jail, but was later I released under bail of Ao.OOO for his appearance in policecourt tomorrow. His brother remained at the hospital under guard of a police officer. •An inquest into the death of the min ister was conducted at Cumberland Courthouse this afternoon, the coroner's jury fixing responsibility for the killing j upon the Garretts. I Witnesses at the inquest testified that ! Pierce was beaten by L. C. Garrett prior jto the shooting. After the bearing, it was said. Pierce went into his house and | returned with a shot-gun and a pistol. • R. 0. Garrett wrested rhe shotgun from tlie minister, witnesses stated, and then pit appeared that the shooting became general. Pierce was mortally wounded land It. O. Garrett dropped to the ground j with a bullet in liis side. L. C. Garrett j suffered a slight flesh wound in tile arm. I It was brought out at the inquest that (Pierce had taken an active interest in politics recently, aligning himself with j tlie faction opposed to the Garretts. Bit ter feeling has existed between the two factions for several years, and numerous fights among citizens of the county have occurred. Pastor’s Salaries. Gastonia Gazette. Charity and Children puts in a good | word for the preachers of the country, j Along with ,the teachers, they have eu- Ijoyed a general raise in salaries, which | they so richly deserve. J The one hundred dollar preacher is i a thing of the past. The church no j matter whether in the remote .country j district or not. that offers its pastor j(/nly one hundred dollars for one-fourth time, is either just beginning as a feeble mission or is as dead as a door nail. f j A man of good equipment, who has | thoroughly prepared himself for the ministry no longer waits in vain for a decent call. The churches are on the lookout for hfm, and usually lose no time in offering him a place. The time wgs when a thousand dol lars was looked .upon as a good salary I for a town church. Now two thousand is poor pay. and a man of ability com j mauds much more than that. There is j this to be said, however: two thousand [dollars now has hardly the purchasing | power of one thousand twenty years ! ago. So after all pastors’ salaries have | not increased as much as the dollars and cents involved would indicate. Pastors' honfos are being built at a rapid rate. The Methodists have led all others in this respect, a parsonage being considered by them a necessary part of the' equipment of a field—almost as necessary as the church building itself. And so almost every charge in the Methodist church in the state is eqnip ed with a comfortable parsonage. But tin- Baptists are coming along with rapid strides in this respect also, and it is a vast, advantage to apasior not to ; be at the tender mercies or a landlord, pay exorbitant rent, and be asked to vacate at the will of the owner. Our preai hers are coming into their own at last and we rejoice with them that, while they cannot live in luxury yet .they can at least pay their grocery hills, and send their children to school.
