If the principal of the Concord
Ltigh Sob ol aimed at ftasting tbe
cit'z us of Concord to a royal intel
lectual baiq iet, he displayed much
good judgement in the selection of
an annual speaker. Dr. Wi!stn
combines pleasacmeea of manner
with enthusiasm for the theme of
his choice, forci fulness in tbe pros
sentatious of bis ideas, sublimity in
tbe realms of conception, fervency
io bis allusions to the Divine and
aiitbetio grandeur in adop'iog the
Qoest rhythmic selections from the
great autbois.
It were vain in us to attempt a
n production of tbe splendid ad
dress. We can only give the frame
on which be put tbe literary art
work that made his addnsi one of
rare beauty and solid merit.
He expressed much delight with
Concord and took much interest in
her schools, especially the High
School, tf which he formed a favor
able impression from the performers
that preceded him.
He viewed with much satisfaction
the waning friction in the educas
i mal work throughout the land and
paw an era in whiob higher educa
tion for all professions and per
suasions is being intrusted to u Di
vers ty work. Education is higher
than the forces by which it is at
tained. In the process of m. king men and
women education should be real,
language exact, Erglieh should be
pure. The speaker gave iusUncee
of the appl cation cf good English
words so awkwardly combined as to
be ridiculous in meaning. He urged
the adoption of good expression in
proper word with a cultivated tone
if kindness and harmony, producing
pleasure in those around us.
Elucation should be a part of tbe
child. Uis actions should proceed
from bis education. De should do
veil b cause he knows well and the
tducition gained in the school loem
ebould be the vtry basis of uutit rml
perpetuity and national greatness.
The breith of the snhool room is
the hope of the oountry."
Talk cf Spain aa an enemy, of
German dislike and of continental
European j -alousY, or even of per
sonal alienation but nothing is so
great an memy to ary of ns as our
guorance and want of integrity.
The child should be taught that
when it commits a crime it is to
itself that it has done the very great
wrong, Lowever much or little tbe
vil to another. Error must be com
pensated for within the boiom of
him wbo commits it. Our schools
are lo make free men and women.
F'tetdotn does tot cousist in being
slaves to ourselves.
We are today well nigh drunk
vith phonal liberty. We claim so
many rights for ourselves that we
btc me regardless of the rights of
oihers and b come even cruel to our
fe've". Elucation shoulu fit us lor
t dtiui.
li what you have knowledge to
be. I'd be men and women is to reiio
!;z- nian bood and womanhood.
The making of men aud women is
be c mbination of furoes by tbe
teacher,
We want the education that puri
fies. We want the educa'ion that
cau be silent when it is ignorance to
speak.
Tbe speaker struck some telling
blows when be deprecated the habit
of charging men with being bought
that is with unfaithfulness. He
would not trust the man in anything
who belie vea that eyery man can be
bought, Manhood and womanhood
is vet not rare.
The speaker characterized tbe im-
priBsion in the young that life is a
drudge as the most dangerous and
lifd destroying a be'em . L fe is not
drudge but a grind opportunity.
We should live for what we can be
io o hers, P.rish tbe right of mine,
raid the speaker, when that right
must trample oo my fellow man'd
We should master ourselves to give
self to our tellow man.
Thongh thn address was less ttan
an h ur in duration the speaker in
his racy and engaging style seemed
o cover the whole ground of ideal
education and ideal life.

As annonnced by our bulletin 'on
'a'e for the Daily on Wednesd iy the
Oregon has arrived safe from the
Pacifio waters and all Americans
breathe easier. Ic was a fearf.il
thought that the Oregon, one of oiu
best ships, would have to cross the
pth of the Spanish flo'illa, besidt
the imminent danger of ber ben g
waylaid at sevtral points. Her ar
rival is a source of national joy.
Now with our Flying Squadron aleoi
in tbe Cuban waters the movent nt
on Cuba will begin at once.
It remains to be feen what Ad
miral Cervera will do about it. If
be interferes with the bombardment
and tbe landing ! tronpn the navel
test will be made.
It is rather feared that be will
pasi out of the Caribean Sea and
will try to beat to our coast cities
and do wbat miscLief he can. O-ir
defenses will probably be adequate,
and no great fear is probably to be
felt
The Charleston sailed Wednesday
with ammuniiion and the City of

felt for him, though, as he is in pa

Nothing especially interesting is

is Bignalized by the Navy Dep irt
ment. T' e uiobi izttion of the
trftpj is the'm'jin woik going oa,
and now it is found that they are
not prepared as yet for the forming
of the United S ates Army . Every
day shows the ciTicials that some,
thing is left undone, and it will
take a lot cf work yet to complete
arrangements. It is discovered at
this late moment that every regular
army officer wbo accepted a1 volun
teer appointment would forfeit his
commission in tbe regulars and bo
become liable to full out of the ser
vice entirely at tbe end of the war,

that it is tbe aim of t.heillijials to
land 80,C00 troops in Cuba at an
early date. The additional call for
volunteers will b) made but not

It is believed that when the Span

that her lleet will be forced to come

The Concord High School rend
ered a programme of 13 parts in
Caton's ball Thursday night to a
comparattvly full house. The
parts were doubtless well rendered
though the accoustics or something
rendered much inaudible to the au
dience not well in front.
We wiah to advert to but a few
featurec A group of young men
with good voice and perfect trainiig
sang "Bingo was bis name" to the
delight of the audience that would
not submit to one rendering
but encored the young gentlemen
till tbey reappeared.
The Borrow Family, a dialogue,
was the practical hit of tbe night
thtvt probably did not set well with
a clans of disgusting, wearying
borrowers that beat others out of a
living under the guise of neighbor
ly kindness, but was to the liking
of those wbo wish to eat tbeir own
bread with quiteness and single
ness of heart.
The principle's report was inter
esting and doubtless gratifying to
the parents of a number ot pupils
wbo made very floe recordp.
North Carolina as a closing
piece, itself closing with tbe good
old song and stirring chorus, was a

Judge Scbenck is trying to .have
a monument on the Guilford Bat
tle Grounds to the memory of Jean
Alexander whose heroic deed de
serves such suitable commemora
lion. It seems that once upon a
time when her father, John Alex
ander made a visit home from the
colonial army a group of lories
tieaded by one ''Powell" went to the
home of the Alexanders to assassi
nate him. Tbe door was barred
and the heroic Jean, then in bloom
ing womanhood all allow with
patriotic zoal eeizjd a two pronged
pitch fork and through tbe un
checked log wall stove its wrought
steel prongs deep into tho vitals of
stately Powell. The work was done
ind the tory died before his com
panions got him home. She vas a
very Jeal for that Sisera. That
memorable pitch fork is in the bat
.le ground museum says Judge
Scbenck and can be seen by any
one. Jean Alexander was a nc

In ibe Court House.
The doting exercises of the Con
cord High School was a pleasant
occasion on this ( Thursday.) The
five who finished the couiSe weie:
Mies Buteie Strieker, Earl Brown,
Gaston Means, Richmotd Gibson
and Frtu OJell, and they filled the
published program very creditably.
The court house was comfor ably
fll ed with a first cla a audience wbo
by tbeir cheers and the profusion of
flowers with which they almost
covered the performers, showed their
high appreciation of tbe perform.,
ances and their great interest in tbe
performers. The grand feature of
the day was the masterly address of
Dr. Wilson, but we can not do it
justice, and will not attempt it in
this issue.
The school will give its closing
entertainment toni,ht in the Caton
Hall. A fee will be charged, the
proceeds of which will go toward a
library for the school.

As announced, Rev. J L Shine,
of Mooresville, lectured Wednesday
night to the two different Councils
of Junior Order of United Ameri
can Mechanics. The colors of red,
white and blue, which are tbe em
blematic colors of the organization,
were very prominent throughout the
coart bouse, and the tables were
nicely decorated.
BothCouncils attended in their re
galia and their numter showed up
well. The Daughters of liberty
were also in company with them and
took a prominent position at the
rostrum.
Rev. Shinn pointed out, for the
benefit of those who do not belong
to th organization, the aims and
motives of the Junior Order, also
stating some statictics. He informed
tbe people of the fact that this Or
der had now reached in tbe United
States the large numbrr of 200,000
members, bad 2,500 different Coun
cils and was represented in 39 of our
States. And yet this Order is com
paratively young, as he stated,

We have been shown a letter from
Jay Sima at Camp Grimes to one of
his friends here. He eays there were
lbwers at the funeral of Ensign
Btgley by wagen loads aud that
after lining the graves, the Coders
were heaped cpon the grave several
feet high .
He also tells a good joke on one of
the raw recruits wbo was pnt on
guard duty. He bad heard them
call out their post number, but not
seeing anything but a "stob" in tbe
ground, he was beard to call out bis
position as "Stob No. 7." The boys
have since been using the word very
frequently.
