Privett, of Mebane, and the second one was Miss Anna Douglass SherrHL, of Con cord, both of whom graduated at the graded school there without having missed a day or Having ween isray single time.

Judfe Pell Holds His rirst Term and Makes Fine Impression. ' The May term of Cabarrus Superior court convened tms - morning with Judge George P. Pell, of Winston-Sa lem, presiding. This is Judge Pell's first court since he was appointed to succeed Judge Jones, who recently re signed. There was much interest sere on the part of our citizens for this reason, and the court - house was eroweded to bear Judge Pell's charge to the grand jury. His charge to the grand jury was clear and nToreerul and made a splen did impression npon the large crowd of C abarni8 citizens, present. He let the grand jurors understand that their position was one of dignity, or responsibility, and of bard work, if their duties were properly performed. He spoke of the history of the county. and how its sons had distinguished themselves in the cause of liberty, re called the daring deeds of the "Black Boys of Cabarrus" and remarked "be ing sons of such sires surely yon will keep the .oath yon have just taken in violate and do all in your power to promote peace and good order of so ciety in this great country," "So many citizens whom people un derstand are good citizens try to evade jury duty. Just think of it, trying to evade serving their State for a week when there are standing around here men who. have faced death on the battlefields (for four long years for their State and eoo-ntrv.' Judge fell reviewed the jurisdic tion of the various courts and paid his respects to the magistrates who wrongly take jurisdiction and who al low men accused to submit and pay a tine without the. presence of a State's witness, lie then went off into treatise of the criminal law, taking up ucu crimes as are important and those of most freauent oeeurrenM. Juage rm -stated to them that he would not argue to the jury as to whether a law was a rood law or not. and it was not the business of th grand jury to decide whether or not oertain laws were good laws or whether certain laws were bad laws, that the laws were on the statute books and were passed by the sover eign people of North Carolina and it was tbe duty of the Brand irrrv in on. acavox.ee -una out u these towa twd been violated and to brine- indict mnnt against those who bad violated them. Judge Fell instructed the srand jury to visit the jail, chain gang, and .uw w.u.j jniuv, mm iwuoa meir at tention to the necessity for such in stitutions in every county. He also called to the attention of the grand jury the importance of keeping these institutions clean and sanitary. He in structed them to visit these institu tions and inspect the bed clothing of these places and to see that none Stf the inmates were (forced to sleeo on oiankets or any other dirty linen that contain germs that would impair ineir neatui. Judge Pell presides over' the court in a quiet, dignified manner, and bas made a splendid impression on the people of our oouoty. lbe grand jury is composed of the following citizens: Jno. lZ Ervin, Jaa. U Lener, J. H. Binehardt, M. M. Sims, J. C. P. Cochran, Chaa. T. Bar rier R, L. Walthall, W. B. Archibald, W. A. G. B wringer, J. H. Barrier, C. B. Dry, J. M. Shoe, E. M. Dry, Q. E. Uo&inley. U. U.

Seats for Only 65 People, While Many More are Compelled to Stand Out side, The people of Concord have long ago realized the necessity oZ a new de pot, as the present one is altogether inadequate for the size of the city, and usually half the people who go there are unable to even get in the depot on account of tbe size, ior the benefit of those who are seldom able to gain an entrance to the depot we give this description in order that they may be familiar with the kind of de pot Concord really has. The depot contains the following things: Fifty scats, well covered with dust, Fifty not forty-nine but fifty seats at a depot io accommodate the travel ling public in a town of 12,009 people, One stove and pipe, including a foun dation for the stove well saturated with tobacco spit. Two sixteen can dle power globes, with four feet each of dirty cord. One water coo'er, with tap knocked off so that all the germs, flies and cinders can have free use ai the same water furnished the patrons of the road during the summer months. One tin cup, badl- scarred and damaged on account of long ser vice. One chewing gum slot machine. Three signs conspicuously displayed along the side of a dirty wall. One board one. covered with smut and dirt bearing these letters "No Smoking," and the other two ntatly printed on pasteboard bearing this inscription, Do- Not Soit on the Floor, to do so May Spread Disease." One city di rectory in a neat oak frame. Nine railroad notices. Two tin insurance signs. One tin holder made for acci dent policies. Three holes in the floor immediately below the water cooler. Two- door that fasten automatically, so that you are compelled to leave one open or get up and let someone in ev ery few minutes. A few old papers and trash in the stove and spider webs too inumerable to mention. All of these things are found in the white wating room alone and doej not apply to the colored waiting room. We will have to "coin a few words be fore even attempting to describe that. At the time these facts were gath ered, there were there one hundred and forty-dive people, including five babies and six children. Thirty-five were ift Iha-depot and one hundred and ten on the outside. Funeral Service of Mr. Jno. C. Smith. The funeral of the late Mr. Jno. C, Smith was held- yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock at Central Methodist church, conducted by his pastor, Rev, P. T. Durham. Tbe church was crowded with friends and relatives to pay their last tribute to the memory of their de parted friend, including the members of the Pythian add Elk lodges, of which he was a 'beloved member. The casket was covered with many beau tiful- floral offerings from friends here and in other places where the deceased was known and loved. Two handsome floral designs were sent by the Pythian lodge of this city and the Elk lodge of Asbeville as a silent tes timonial of the love and esteem in which their departed brother. was held by them. The following were tbe pall bearers : L. Miller. C. F. Ritchie, J. H. Rut- ledge,- Howard-Townsend, L. D. Col- trane and R. S. Wheeler Mr. Durham paid many beautiful tributes to Mr. Smith's life and spoke of the good name be had attained as a business man and citizen. Mr. Thomas Boat Hurt. W. T. Bost, city editor of the Morn ing Herald, was severely cut and bruised late Thursday afternoon at East Durham.

Conceded that the Issue of Woman Suffrage is Dead. One of the most important matters to come before the session of the Gen, eral Conference at Asheville Saturday was the report of a special' commis sion appointed at the last General Conference looking to the consolida tion of tbe Woman s Foreign Mission ary Society, the home missions board and all the missionary societies in con nection with the Church. The report means that this will not eliminate the women from their position in the mis sionary work, but provides for the appointment into a number of the of fices in connection with the board of women, thus leaving the men and women of the work to co-operate. While' there were some petitions for woman suffrage, there were numerous petitions protesting against it. Miss Belle Bennett, of Nashville, Tenn., the leader of the "progressives" seems to be undismayed, but it is conceded that the issue is dead. The confer ence seems fully satisfied that the la dies shall have woman's rights, but is opposed to granting them also man s rights. Dr. J. O. Wilson, of Greenwood, S. C, introduced a resolution which was adopted by a rising vote extending- to the Queen of England, the royal fam ily of England, the Methodist Church of England, the Methodists of Eng land, Ireland and Canada and to the Good Values in Cotton Goods !

Among the number received was a lengthy document from various local organizations of the alumni as sociation.

There was also a repitition of Fri day's flood of petitions asking equal rights of laity with men for women of the Church.
