QUEENS COLLEGE
T
President Caldwell Presided
and Dr. McGeachy Made
Splendid Address to Old
and NeWj Students Col
lege Begins Year With
Large Matriculation.
Today, September loth, the open
ing exercise of Queens College toot
place in the beautiful auditorium.
A large attendance from town greet
ed the main body of the room the
attendance of day-pupils being unus
ually large.
Dr. A. A. McGeachy, the president
of the board of trustees, delivered
an excellent address full of practical
advice, mingled with delicate hu
mor. Said Dr. McGeachy:
"In. behalf of the board of trustees
and as president of the board I bid
you, young ladies, a cordial welcome.
There is a welcome for the old student
and for the new. We welcome the old
students once more and flatter our
selves that you must like us other
wise you wouldn't have come back.
When some one asked Artemus Ward
after his return from a western lec
ture tour how he knew when he was
pleasing his audiences, he answer
ed, '"when more stayed in than went
out.r' Now, Dr. Caldwell has said tbat
two of your number have failed to re
turn, that these two have got married.
I am glad it is no worse than that,
they might have been dead. But the
most of you are still here and not
married, though some of you may be
engaged.
"I wish to mix some advice with j
my welcome to the new students. j
"First of all get on the good side of;
the authorities. Recommend your-;
selves to them by cheerful obedience,
by good humor, by loyal industry.
Some students adopt an attitude to
ward their teachers like that of Tom;
Foggus toward society, when he
turned highwayman "The world has
preyed on me and God helping ' me,
I shall prey upon the world." Avoid
that spirit. For teachers are not hos
tile to you but anxious to make a
success of their work. They will wel
come your assistance in this endeav
or and think kindly of you as you
aelp them.
"Again, be thorough in your work.
Education is not a smattering of many
things but a mastery of a few. It is,
as some one has said, 'To know
what you want to know where to get
it when you want it, to know how to
use it when you get it.' I was asking
a college boy the meaning of latin
words. He said mensa meant fly and
musca meant table. Then I said to
him, 'If you tried to tell Julius
Caesar that a fly was on the table
you would say the table was on the
fly and that would not only be hard
on the fly but would give Caesar a
poor, opinion of your Latin.' A negro
cutting hay for me used a dull blade
and simply bent down most of the
grass. When he came to take it up
the long grass caught in the teeth
of the rake and made hard work tot
&im. Young women, a cleaning up day1
fe coming for you also in the final ex
aminations. The work you haven't
done but only smothered will give
you trouble then and all the rest ot
your life.
Once more cultivate the best girls in
school, those from whom you can
learn something, who can tie a ribbon
better than you, or put their clothes
on so they will look neater and
nicer. Your parents sent you away
from home not only to study books
but to. enlarge your experience, to
learn by contact with girls whose ad
vantages had been greater than
yours. Don't sink down automatically
to a lower level than that in which
you were born but improve yourseit
by association with the best. And
make friends among our Charlotte
girls so that you can come back to
visit them in post college days.
"I have mixed some foolishness
with some sound sense in this greet
ing. - Let the foolish virgins among
you choose the foolishness and the
wise the wisdom. And once again we
bid you welcome and pray Gods
blesing on you all."
Dr. Caldwell, the president, follow
ed with a few well chosen remarks.
At this writing the classification
committee is at work, with the prom
ise that the real work will soon be
gin. Everything points to a, success
ful year.

City Physician of Charlotte for
Years, Confederate Soldier,
Elder in Presbyterian
Church, and a Brave, Good
Man Passed at Midnight
Funeral at 10 o'clock
Thursday Morning at First
Presbyterian Church.
At midnight, just a few minutes.be
for the clock struck the old day out
and the new one in the "one clear
call" came for one of the grand old
men of Charlotte and the Scotch-Irish
section of North Carolina Dr. Francis
Oscar Hawley and his brave spirit
put out to sea all un-afraid, sure of
the port and trusting to an unseen but
never-failing hand of guidance.
The end came to this great and good
man peacefully, gently. After lingering
for weeks and months, and after near
ly a week of acute illness, he fell on
sleep, iris devoted wife, who was sit
ting by him, holding his hand, scarce
ly knowing when the separation had
some. It was just such an end as his
loved ones prayed for; that his friends
hoped for.
For days Dr. Hawley had been in a
stupor, his life drifting slowly but
surely out into the great beyond.
Tomorrow morning he will be laid
to rest in Elmwood and the city will
stand at the grave of one of its most
capable and faithful officials city phy
sician and one of its bravest and
best men.
The service will be at 10 o'clock at
the First Presbyterian church, of
which he had been a member during
his residence in Charlotte, the ser
vice to be conducted by Rev. Dr. D. H.
Rolston, pastor, assisted by Rev. Wm.
Black and Rev. Dr. W. W. Orr.
Members of Mecklenburg Camp Con
federate Veterans, will act as honorary
pallbearers.
Active pallbearers, Drs. E. C. Regis
ter, John E. S. Davidson, C. A. Bland,

Biography Soldier.
Dr. Hawley was born in Fayette
ville, February 14, 1846, being 69 his
last birthday. His father was Joseph
R. Hawley, his mother Sarah Eliza
Braddy Hawley, both of FayettevlIIe.
There were only two children by this
union, Francis Oscar and Erastus
Hawley, the latter dying in early man
hood. When quite a youth Dr. Hawley's
parents sent him to Charlotte to
school, the teacher being D. H. Hill,
a few years after, General D. H.
Hill, of the Confederate army. Gen.
Hill taught in the present South
school building.
When the war broke out Dr. Haw
ley was 15 years of age. He was too
young to enlist, but was so forceful,
so excellent a tactician that he was
sent out as drill master-., and,, helped
drill the First North Carolina Regi
ment. He was so . young that his
mother requested Governor Vance to
call him home. He came home and
was then sent to Old Trinity Col
lege. He remained there only a short
time, responding to the call for vol
unteers from his state and county.
He went to the front with the Junior
Reserves, and was in front of Sher
man at one time. His regiment waU
sent to Fort Fisher. Dr. Hawley was
wounded there, a shell . bursting in
front of him, a piece of it striking
him in the face. He was captured at
Fort Fisher and sent to Morehead
City as a prisoner. From there he
was removed to Fort Delaware and
remained there in prison' until the
close of the war. Dr. Hawley was
known ' amongst North Carolina sol
diers for his great bravery, un
daunted courage, deep love for the
South and her cause and as a man
who was not only brave but the
kindest of the kind. He was ever
ready to serve a comrade, in war, or
in peace. He was a devoted member
of Mecklenburg Camp Confederate
Veterans, an oflicer at various times,
and always surgeon of. the ' camp.
The spirit of the Confederate soldier
was strong in him to the day of his
death. Camp and its work was a
duty as well as a pleasure to him.
He was a leader not only in action
but thought, in the camp, his counsel,
his advice being sought and followed.
Doctor.
Returning from the war Dr. Haw
ley began the study of medicine at
old Floral College, - continuing his
studies under- two distinguished
Scotchmen or Schotch-Irish Dr. Da
vid McBryde and Dr. Hector McLean
who had a private school of medicine,
Edinburg School, in Robeson county.
He began the practice of his profession
at Shoe Hill, N. ., in 1869.
From there he moved to Polkton,
and then to Anson in 1873 and
came to Charlotte in the spring of
1894, and began the practice of his
profession.
, ,Dr- Hawley wrote articles for, the
papers advocating the establishment,
by the city, of the office of city physi
cian, which articles resulted in the of
fice being created. Dr. H. M. Wilder
was elected first city physician and
Dr. Hawley assistant. When Dr. Wild
er went, with the . military company,
of which he was surgeon, to the Spanish-American
war, Dr. Hawley was
made city physician, and continued so
up to last spring, when by reason of
failing health, he resigned the office.
Throughout his long period of ser
vice he was never found wanting. He
gave his undivided time to the work,
was ready day or night to serve the
city public. His work stood unchal
lenged by any as to efficiency, faithful
service, honorable and honest effort
Dr. Hawley, though trained in the
old school of medicine, and a wise ex
ponent of that school, still appropriat
ed the best In the new school and
as physician, as well as man and sol
dier, was esteemed and revered by
his colleagues in his profession. In
the latter part of hie service, when
his health began to fail, he was ably
assisted In his work by Dr. John E.
S. Davidson.
Church Life.
Dr. Hawley for 40 years had been a
member of the Presbytorian church,
and for 30 years was a ruling elder In
the church at Polkton, which he and
his noble wife built, fostered and saw :
firmly established. After coming to
Charlotte Dr. Hawley moved his mem
bership to the First Presbyterian
church, he and Mrs. Hawley being
prominent and valued members of that
church. Strong in. the faith wl-ch
came to him from Scotch-Irish ances
tors, Dr. Hawley was loyal and devot
ed to his church, and from that devo
tion emanated deeds nf love and kind-
'ness, of charity and helpfulness, that
I a i x 1 i ... ....
inai maae ms Hie a benediction or
goodness and kindness to many.
Lodge Affiliations.
Dr. Hawley was the oldest Knight

united with the order in 1865, -since
which time he has been an active mem

ies he was reverred and esteemed.
Scotch-Irish.
Dr. Hawley was a great lover of the
Scotch, and their glorious history. He
was one of the promoters and strong
est and most staunch leaders of the
Scotch-Irish Society of North Carolina.
The Man.
Dr. Hawley was so splendidly round
ed, there being so many phases or
sides to consider, that one can not dif
ferentiate; can not exalt one trait over
the other, but brave as he was as sol
dier, skilled as he was as physician,
devoted as he was as church man and
brotherly as he was in his fraternal
affiliations,-as man just a true, noble
honorable and upright man, loving the
truth and hating a lie.square in all his
dealings, his life plumb with all that
made up the code of a true man, Chris
tian gentleman, devoted husband and
loving father he was greatest.
He was firm but gentle. He never
whipped one of his children in his life,
but they obeyed him implicitly, he gov
erning them by firmness and kindness.
He was a grand exponent of the firm
ness and strength of his forbears, but
justice was. tempered with mercy.

1869, to Miss Christian McLean Mc

French Navy Ready to
Cope With Submarines
By Associated Press.
Paris, Sept. 15. The ministry of
marine announced today that meas
ures had been taken which would en
able the navy. to deal with German sub
marines. , The statement was prompted by the
reecnt activity of submarines off the
coast of France, resulting in the sink
ing of several steamships. The min
istry states that there is no reason
for alarm at . the operations of sub
marines near the mouths of the Gio
ronde and the Loire.
"All necessary precautions were tak
en long ago against the aggressions
of German submarines," the statement
says. "The present naval force near
the mouths of the Gironde and Loire
will be reinforced if necessary, but
the measures taken against them in
the English channel are so efficacious
that they may be expected to be suf
ficient, and only occasional isolated
aggressions are possible."
