<»f the graduating classes „f M,,i,t
! Ainoena Seminary and Mount l'leax-i
(ant Collegiate Institute was delivered'
i here this morning at 111 :30 o'clock by
I Prof. Frazer Hood. Ph.l)., Litt., D.,
!of the faculty of Davidson College.
Dr. Hood had ns his subject “Consider
: the Trees" and handled it in a master-1
I iy fashion.
! The commencement firogram for
( Monday afternoon and evening con-
Isisted of the Alumni address at 3 :30
(o'clock by Prof. C. J. M. Blume. of
I l<ynchbnrg, Va„ a member of the
j graduating class of 1917. Prof. Bliune
(spoke of the advances made in the
■South in the public schools and of
jthe objectives that the schools have
in the South though they have not
j renehed them.
I Monday evening the class drama
I “Nothing Rut the Truth" was present
ed in the Auditorium. The cast for
the play was composed of students
lof the 'English Departments of the
Seminary and Institute and the per
formance of the young men mid women
wns a very creditable one and greatly
enjoyed by those present.
The address of- Dr. Hood this morn
ing is as follows:
An ancient proverb addressed to the
sluggard admonishes him to go to the
ant. consider her ways and be wise.
Relieving that in my audience this
morning the sluggard is conspicuous
by his absence, I have no need to
picture the life of slowth in language
that would mnke you flee from it.
Paraphrasing, however, the proverb,
I shoud like to say to ypu with ail
the per*uavines*. I ran isi*ttr. "s».
their ways and lie wise"'
At this time of the year I think
that our fancy very naturally turns,
either to thoughts of love, or the
equally entrancing thoughts of trees
indeed in my own experience they
are intimately associated. When I
wns your age there was rinthing so
gloriously befitting the thrill of the
preseuce of the beloved ns to see her
embowered by “ancient, friendly,
aithful trees." Today. I fear the
Sylvan charm of love making has giv
en way to the urban prose of gas
and speed. God made the country,
and man made the town, says the
poet, and today it seems that the
latter has invaded the former and
threatens it antonomy.
But whatever harm the urban invas
ion of the country may do, I trust
thut the army will spare
the trees, for these, since the world
began, have offered the very choicest
gifts to man. And when we give our
souls repose, there is not a mail
among us who does not love a tree.
Whether in solitary grandeur or
merged in the greater glory of the
forest, n tree has always awakened
interest and emotion in the human
heart. As Van Dyke so beautifully
sings:
"Many n tree is found in the woods,
And every tree for its use is good:
Some for the strength of the gnarled
root,
Some for the sweetness of flower or
fruit;
Some for shelter against the storm,
And some to keep the hearth stone
warm;
Some for the roof and some for the
beam.
And some for n boat to breast the
stream;
In the wealth of the wood since the
world began
The trees have offered their gifts to
man.”
Put I am not come to plead for a
more sane and enlightened self interest
iu our-'treatment of the forests, how
ever tempting such a theme would
be .to me. Addressing young men nt
this time and on this occasion, I desire
.to hove you sit with me, at the feet
of .a grdat master, anti learn some
thing of the wisdom of life which
a tree, can teach us. 1 enjoyed the
friendship of a tax'* f° r a f ew . veara
of my life and, I think it was from
that intimacy more than any other
. one influence that I became interested
in trees. To him a tree was all but
human. Among his many volumes
one finds many poems about trees
and certainly one' to a tree —a tree
in the city. Here is a quotation from
the poem:
“O patriarch of the multitudinous
Content'and calm amid this rush and
roar,
Still uncontaminated in. this strife
1 Free from repining for the fields or
woods,
’ Teach me the grandeur of thy deep
■ repose.
Teach me the glory of the goodly
soul,
' That I may walk with conscience un
disturbed
Amid the sturggle in the marts of
men.”
May we not approach the trees hi
, this spirit this morning?

Paris Continues To Honor
Modest American Aviator
Great Throngs Gather to Pay Homage to Capt. Lind
bergh, Who Is Beginning to Understand Better
What It Means to Be Hero.—Plans Several Trips
in His Plane.
Paris. May 24.—G4 5 )—A short
glimpe into the mass of letters and
telegrniups that have accumulated
since he sailed down upon Le Bom-get
held, and the sight of a squadron of
cavalry called out to help police keep
open the streets through which he
passed today gave Captain Charles
Lindbergh a better outlook than lie
has had thus far of the arduous fu
ture before him as a world hero.
Ambassador Herrick’s famous un
expected guest gave up the corre
spondence as a hopeless task, and took
advantage of the ambassador's offer to
turn letters and messages over to
the embassy for proper classification
and replies. The ambassador's staff,
however, was unequal to such a big
task, and Lindbergh finally called upon
the Bnnkers Trust Company.
"The boy", ns everybody familiarly
calls him, was obviously more at ease
today in clothes of his own turned
out by a Paris tailor in record time.
Since hie arrival from New York he
hud been- wearing borrowed clothes
loaned to him by Parnielee Herrick,
the ambassador's son.
Lindbergh faced his first ordeal of
the day, a luncheon tendered by the
American Club, with composure. Af
ter getting into the dining hall he was
obliged to go out and show himself to
prevent damage to the front of the
building by enthusiastic masons and
carpenters working on nearby struc
tures, and' reinforced by the usual
street crowds.
Insistent calls of “to the balcony”
and a push which resulted in au omi
nous crash of glass decided Hie organ
izers of the luncheon to comply with,
the wishes of the crowd. Lindbergh
went to the balcony.
Facing the workmen and hearing
their cheers he blushed again as he
did yesterday, when President Dmim-1
ergue pinned the cross of the Legion ]
of Honor to hi* breast, and as he did j
again today when the one armed Gen-,
i eral Gouraud i kissed him on both
cheeks.
■ Lindbergh had to go through the
kitchens and basement of the Hotel]
Ambassador, where the luncheon was
given, to get up to the balcony. On the
way he was forced to stop and shake
hands with the cooks and scullery boys
who abandoned pots and kettles to
give him one of the most spontaneous
welcomes he lias received.
Those who could reach him patted
him, kissed liis hands, or gave vent
to their frantic enthusiasm in any
way that presented itself. Lindbergh
came out through a window of the
balcony with the French flag in his
hands and the street roared with
cheers.
“Middinettes” or shop girls from all
the dress making and millinery estab
lishments in the center of Paris massed
on the opposite side of the street, were
less favored than the cooks and scul
lery boys, having to content them
selves with throwing him kisses across
the street.
Lindbergh showed he was es]ieoially
pleased by the demonstration of mas
ons. carpenters and shop girls.

Charlotte, May 24.—( A* )—One man
is dead and three men and two chil
dren are in hospitals injured, as a
result of three unusual accidents in
widely scattered sections of North

The force of the collision was such j
that both cars were knocked from the |
strept and struck the Crotts boy. The!
Byrd child was in one of the cars.

Fiery and Scathing Addresses
Before the Efird Will Jury
Albemarle, May 23.—The Stanly
county jury trying the Efird will
case and a courtroom full of spec
tators today listened to two of the
most fiery and at times scathing ad
dresses ever delivered in a North
Carolina courtroom.
R. L. Brown, Albemarle lnwyei.
blistered James A. Lockhart, of
Charlotte, for his attack on Attor
ney R. L. Smith during Lockhart’s
merciless cross examination, calling
it “spurious and uncalled for."
while Lockhart in turn this after
noon hopped on Mr. Smith. Charles
Cannon and the Wachovia Bank and
Trust company, the three trustees
named in the Efird will, and fairly
roasted and salted them.
Especially was lie severe in hi*
attack on Attorney Smith, the man
who wrote the will under dispute
and who testified at some length as
to its preparation and execution. In
deed. to use a cornfield expression,
he fairly took the hide off of the
writer of the Efird will, not hesitat
ing to state that “K. 1,. Smith has
shown to this jiiry that he does not
hesitate to swear falsely when he
thinks he can get away with it.”
And Lockhart was little less severe
on Charles Cannon who, although
not a witness in the case, is a trus
tee named in the will.
One thing which brought Mr. Can
non's name into the ease more
prominently than it would otherwise
have been was the testimony of one
witness that the late John S. Efird.
the alleged testator, told his brother
that on one occasion Charles Can
non offered him $50,000 to assist
him in getting Joe Cannon out of
control of the Wiscassett Mills com-1
pany of this p'ace. Lockhart stated I
that Charles Cannon is aspiring to
be the industrial emperor of North
Carolina, and he did not believe
John S. Efird ever intended to put
him ,in eontrol of his fortune , to
enable him to foree TRs own brothers
and his own sons to bow down to
him as their master and as master
of the Efird Manufacturing pofn
pany.
“We can profit by history, laiek
hnrt told the jury, and then he re
lated the story of old King James
and Charles, of how the o’.d
hymn wns sung. “Praise Charles
from whom all blessings flow, praise
him all Stuarts here below." adding,
“Gentlemen of the jury, if you let
this wi’l stand John S. Efird's broth
er* and oons may sing. ‘Praise Char
les from whom all blessings flow,
praise him all Efirds here below’.”
As Lockhart was severe on Smith
and Cannon, R. L. Brown in his ad
dress this morning was little less
severe on Isickhart. Brown paid a
high tribute to str. Smith and de-

dared :
"Gentlemen of the jury. I have
fought Bob Smitli as hard as any
man at this bar ami he lias fought
me as hard as he ever fought any j
man* in a law suit, but 1 resent as
unfounded any insinuation on the
part of Mr. Loeklmrt that he is dis
honest and crooked. You might rake
this county with a fine toothed
comb and you could not among the
more than thirty thousand people
who live here bring a single man who
wo"ld give Bob Smith a bad charac
ter."
Otherwise than when be launched
his attack on Attorney Lockhart.
Mr. Brown confined his argument to
the facts brought out in the evi
dence, taking up the testimony of
each witness for the propounders
and the caveator and handling it in
a most skillful manner, concluding
with an appeal to the jury to stand
by John S. Efird’s will and stating
that the caveator was well taken
care of by its terms. Declaring that
from the lapsed legacy of one-fifth of
tlie estate W. T. Efird. the caveator,
would get, immediately, from seven
ty-five to a hundred thousand dol
lars, that by the terms of the will
he had a guarantee that not only
would the caveator's children be well
eared for and educated, but that
young Efird himself and his wife
are to be cared for by the trustees,
in ease of necessity. Attorney Brown
said. “If I had seventy-five thousand
dollars in cash nnd a guarantee that
outside of that I would be supported
land my children supported ami edu-
I onted. I would jump up and strike
j my feet together three times nnd re-
I tire from the law practice at once.”
I Possibly the smoothest, though the
shortest address made thus far by
I nil attorney in this case, was that of
Attorney T: C. Guthrie, of the Char
lotte bar. Mr. Guthrie spoke mis
afternoon and only consumed about
one hrtur. His address was concise
and able nnd right to the point at
issue in the ease.
Court adjourned before James A
Lockhart had completed his speech.
Seen by the writer after court had
adjourned this afternoon. Lockhart
stated that his address will consume
at least an hour of the session fie
morrow morning. He wilt be fol
lowed by Mr. Cansler. who makes
the last speech in the ease, and then
will come the charge of Judge Bowie
and the jury wfl possibly tn*c the
case some time tomorrow afternoon.
Those who know Attorney Lock
hart believe that he has not yet
reached the climax in hie speech,
while others do not believe that It
will be possible for him to be more
senthing or severe than he was this
afternoon.
