Morganton has always been
justly proud of her graded school,
but at such times as commence
ment these feelings of pride are
stirred afresh. We are proud of
the past of our graded school,
we are proud of its present, and
look with great expectation to its
future.
The year just closing has been
one of the most gratifying in the
history of the school and the ex
ercises extending from Friday
until Monday were a fitting
climax to the year's work. Each
exercise throughout the com
mencement reflected credit on
those who had charge of the
school during the past year.
"The Flower Carnival" given
on Friday night by grades one to
six, inclusive, was a success in
every sense of the word. The
costumes of the little folks very
numgiy suggested nowers or
things impersonated, as Spring,
Earth, etc. The drills and songs
were especially good, and repre
sented a great deal of care and
patience in the training of the
children. The little faries in the
play looked as if they had been
dropped from Fairyland. Little
Miss Miriam Goodwin was very
attractive as Queen of the Fairies
and Miss Jessie Fisher equally
so as Queen Flora. In fact, each
child taking part looked her best
and did her best. Little Bernard
Lazarus was not at all embarrassed
at being the only boy on the
stage, but as Spring, did equally
as well as the little girls.
The acts were as follows:
Act I Making of Flowers.
Act II Marriage of Earth and
Spring.
Wedding March of
Flowers.
Garland Drill.
Homage of Fairies.
Saturday was known as Senior
Evening. There were six in the
graduating class this year, viz:
Walton Avery, Edward Haney,
Oliver Webb, Mary Bellmer,
Eliza Pearson and Mary Shuping.
Although it was the first ap
pearance of some of them before
the public, they did not appear
at all "scared to death," as the
president of the class, .Walton
Avery, expressed it in a short ad
dress of welcome. From the class
history, written by Miss Eliza
earson, it was found that this
class came into existence seven
years ago, the date of the be
ginning of the graded school. Its
number at graduation was only
one-tenth of what it was then.
The statistics given by Edward
Haney contained some rather
imusing facts and the paper was
well written.
Miss Mary Shuping, in the
prophecy, predicted a very bright
future for each member of the
class. Oliver Webb's oration had
as its theme the class motto:
Labor conquers all things. " In
the class "will," Miss Mary Bell
mer bequeathed to different
grades in the High School the
sacred things of the class. Each
paper was well written and given '
well; they were a credit to the
class and to the school.
Immediately following the class
exercises the Honor Roll for the
session 1909-1910 was read by
Prof. E. W. S. Cobb, the super
intendent, and certificates for
perfect attendance and for schol
arship in the respective grades
were presented by Mr. B. F.
Davis, chairman of the Board of
Trustees. It is a noteworthy fact
that several of those who were
perfect in attendance also re
ceived the highest honors in their
grades.
The sermon on Sunday night
by Rev. James Long was up to
his usual standard of excellence.
"Temple Building" was his
theme and the thoughts im
pressed were that we are all
temple builders; that it is im
portant that each have high ideals
dnd noble purposes and that the
achievement of these ideals is one
of the greatest things in the
world.
To the graduates, Monday was
che all-important day of com-

mencement. There was a suc
cession of good things for those
who attended the exercises Mon
day morning. Of great interest
was the contest in essays and
orations by the senior class for
medals, the one presented, by
Supt. Cobb, for the best essay,
the other by Mr. Ernest Er
win for the best oration. The
judges in the contest declared
that the races were very close
and that they wished for six
medals instead of two. "How
glad I am that I'm not one of
the. judges," was a general ex
pression. As Mr. McKesson put
it, the papers were worthy of
older neads. It was the de
cision of the judges that Miss
Mary Shuping, with her essay,
"Successful Failures" won the
girl's medal and that Oliver
Webb's oration, "The Conserva
tion of Waterways," won theEr
win medal. Miss Mary Bellmer
showed herself a loyal daughter
of the South in "Southward, Ho!"
and in very pretty language set
forward some of the resources of
the South. Miss Eliza Murphy
Pearson made a strong plea for
the protection and preservation
of forests, especially in this
Southland, in her essay, "Preser
vation of Forests." Many ex-
piest mood in the presentation of
the diplomas to the graduating
class and tins is saying a good
deal, for he is never in an un
happy mood. The remarks of
Mr. Hollingsworth and Mr. Mull
in awarding the medals were also
well chosen and appropriate.
Considering everything, the
commencement closing Monday
was decidedly one of the most
successful in the history of the

The "bighead" is a popular
way of expressing-a common
and very frequent ailment,
savs an exchange. It arises
from various sources but the
real foundation is lack of
Sir.se. A little roone' develops
it in some people; a few good
clothes give it to others. An
office where a chance is giyen
to exercise a little authority
is often the cause of it, while
others get it by having a little
better job than their
associates The truth is no
sensible person gets the "big1

"stuck up" and stifl necked
from sources of any kind, are

EX-CONGRESSMAN WILLIAM BOW

STROKE.
tnd Comes at His Home in Lenoir
After Years of Suffering Served
Eighth District in the Fifty-Third
Congress and Was a Leader in State
Politics.
Lenoir Special. 12th, to Charlotte Observer.
Hon. W. H. Bower, former
Congressman from this dis
trict, died at his home here about
3 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
For several years prior to his
death he had suffered from the
effects of paralysis, having had
several strokes, the last one oc
curring last Thursday.
In the passing of Mr. Bower
the State has lost a brilliant and
unique figure. In fact, as was
said by one of his friends to-day,
he lacked little of being a great
man. He possessed to a marked

degree the elements that go to
make the orator the leader of
men. Being noble and handsome
in personal appearance, with an
excellent voi-'e, a command of
language and a certain indefinable
magnetism irresistible to men,
he could, at one time, with the
sweep of his powers carry the
masses as few men are able to do.
Another Roman has gone hence.
William Horton Bower was
born in Wilkes county, North
Carolina, June 6, 1850; received
an academic education at the
noted Finley high school, Lenoir,
and other academies; finished his
education at the age of 16. He
studied in the office of Col. G. N.
Folk of Lenoir and was licensed
by the Supreme Court to practice
law in 1870. In 1876 he removed
to California, where he taught
school until 1880, when he re
turne'd to his native State. Was
elected to the Legislature from
Caldwell county in 1882, and to
the State Senate in 1884; was ap
pointed solicitor of the tenth ju
dicial district by Gov. A. M.
Scales in 1885 and the following
year was elected solicitor without
opposition; in 1890 was defeated
for Congress by W. H. H. Cowles

THE MOTHER'S PROBLEM
Of liaising Strong, Healthy Girls.
A serious problem which presents it
self to every mother with girls to raise,
in these days. The exigencies of school
life, the hurry and routine of every-day
duties, the artificial environment of
modern civilization, make it more
difficult to raise strong, healthy girls
than ever in the history of the world.
Boys raise themselves. Give them
room, give them liberty, and they will
grow up healthy at least, without much
worrying. But the girls present a ser
ious problem.
How many mothers there are who are
worrying about their daughters. Ner
vous, puny girls, with poor, capricious
appetites, bloodless, listless, a constant
anxiety to the mother. How shaU sho
solve her problem? To whom shall she
turn for help? Each case is more or
less a study by itself, and cannot be
solved by any general rule.
This is the way one mother solved the
problem. Mrs. Schopfer, 5920 Prescott
Ave., St. Louis, Mo., in a letter to Dr.
Hartman, says: "My daughter Alice,
four years of age, was a puny, sickly,
ailing child since she was born. I was
always doctoring her. When we com
menced to use Peruna she grew strong
and well."
Another mother, Mrs. Martha Moss,
R. P. D. 5, Chippewa Tails, Wisconsin,
says: 'Our little eight-year-old girl
had a bad cough, and was in a general
run-down condition." She had several
doctors, who could give the child no re
lief, and the mother no encouragement.
Finally, she got a bottle of Peruna
and commenced giving it to the child,
and it proved to be just what she
needed. When she commenced taking
Peruna the child had to be carried.
Now the mother says sho is playing
around all the time.
Her closing words were: "You have
done a great deal for her. She Is the
only girl we have, and it meant lots to
ns to have her cured."
These are samples of many letters
which Dr. Hartman Is receiving, com
ing straight from the hearts of loving
mothers. While the different schools
of medicine are bickering and differing
as to theories and remedies, Peruna
goes righ t steadily on giving permanent
relief. After all, it is cures that the
people want. Theories are ot litUe
account.

CHARLOTTE HARDWARE GROWS.
Separating Wholesale and Retail De
partments New Building on Corner
of Sixth and Railroad With 25,000
Feet Floor Secured Increasing
Salesmen From Four to Six.
Charlotte Observer.
To keep pace with the extension of
its business and the growth of Char
lotte, the Charlotte Hardware Com
pany is enlarging its stock of goods and
separating the wholesale and retail de
partments. The company has been
very successful during the four years
of its life and it has become necessary
to secure more floor space and make an
addition to the stock of goods in order
to cop a with the growing business. Mr.
W. w. Hagood is erecting a building at
the corner of Sixth street and Railroad
6Cxl70 feet, two stories high with a
basement which has been leased for the
wholesale department of the concern.
This building will be of mill construction
and furnish 25,000 square feet of floor
space. Being in close proximity to both
the Seaboard and Southern tracks the
shipments can be received and dis
patched in short order without cost of
drayage. This building will be devoted
entirely to wholesale, while the office
will be maintained at the retail depart
ment on East Trade street where it is
at present.
The business has outgrown the pres
ent quarters which has been used for
wholesale and retail since its organiza
tion. When the change is made in tr e
near future, the four floors in the pres
ent building will be given up entirely 1o
retail trade. New lines will be added
and the office enlarged.
Four salesmen are now on the road
traveling the territory within a radius
of 100 miles in which the company has
substantial patronage in its line. The
number of salesmen will be increased
to six and the present territory will be
worked more thoroughly and enlarged
to some extent.
The officers are: Messrs. J. C. Mc
Neely, president; R. L. Erwin, vice
president; Robert Glasgow, treasurer,
and J. S. Neely, secretary.
