Aldermeii in May Meeting Usually Fix Salaries For Year and This Will Come Up Tonight. Will officials of Concord be asked to serve this year at present salaries, at lower salaries or at increased sal aries? This question is pertinent today be cause salaries are usually fixed at the May meeting of the bogrd of aider men and this meeting Will be held tonight at the city hall. However, it is khown that one member of the board favors a postponement of the question until the board has had more time to discuss the matter, and it is possible that the salaries will be fixed at a call meeting in the near future. Under the present scale of wages the City Engineer is the highest paid official in Concord, his salary being $2400, a year with au additional S6O monthly allowance for his car. His total of $3,000 is S9OO more than the salary of the police chief, the next highest on the list. In addition to his salary and auto allowance, the engineer is furnished with an office assistant, whose salary 'is paid by the city. The police chief with a salary of S2IOO ranks second although it is probable that commissions of the City Tax Collector amount to this much or slightly more. However, the tax col lecor is not on a salary, his wage •being determined by the amount of taxes he collects. Police sergeants get SIOBO and the milk and meat inspector SISOO a your, while patrolmen of the police depart ment get $llOO a year. Regular firemen get $1440 a year and the chief draws a salary of S3OO per annum. The City Clerk and Treasurer draws but SOOO a year for this work, but last year, acting as purchasing agent and computist of taxes he drew an additional SI2OO, making his total sal ary of the year SIBOO. Before this year purchases were made by various employes of the city and the bills sent to the finance committee for its o. k. Contending that such methods resulted in waste and uncertainty the aldermen appointed the purchasing agent, the salary to be SI2OO for this work together with khe task of com puting the-city taxes. The Mayor gets SI,OOO a year, the recorder SIBOO and the City Attorney SISOO. Aldermen get SIOO each, with au additional S2OO for the alderman who serves as chairman of the street com mittee. The city building inspector draws a salary of SSOO. Walker-Cress. One of the most beautiful weddings ever solemnized in St. John’s Luth eran church orcttrred Wednesday, May the 4th at f o’clock, when Miss Mary Lillie Crass became Hie bride of Mr. Paul Alexander Walker, Rev. L. D.. Miller officiating. . , j The church was artistically decorat ed. the spring effect being beautifully carried out in the decorations of ivy, and many graceful baskets of white lilies and sweet peas. Prior to the ceremony “Melody of Love” by Engleman, was rendered, Mrs. L. D. Miller presiding at the or gan. Miss Helen Misenheimer. a member of the faculty of Mont Amoe na Seminary, sweetly sang “I Love You Truly.” Then to the strains of Lohengrin's Wedding March, the bri dal party entered from the rear of the 'church >in the following order: Mr. John Daniel Suther and Mr. Glenn Penninger as ushers, followed by the groomsmen. Mr. Jay Cress and Mr. Al lan Watts. Then came the attend ants, Misses Annie Walker and Thel ma Suther, in orchid georgette over tpink satin, with picture hats to match, carrying sweet peas and pink roses. Then came the dame of honor, Mrs. Houck Richards, sister of the bride, gowned in peach georgette over j>each satin wearing corresponding picture hat. carrying yellow rosebuds and peach sweet peas. She was fol lowed by the ring bearer. Master J. D. Walker, nephew of the groom, in a white satin suit, bearing the ring in a ealla lily. The bride was given in marriage by her father. Mr. John W. Cross. The bride was es]>ceially beau tiful in white georgette over white satin, trimmed in silver lace. The veil was held in place by a wreath of orange blossoms. She carried a show er bouquet of bride’s roses and lily of the valley. She was met at the* altar by the groom, who entered with his best man, Mr. James Walker, student of the Lutheran Theological Seminary of Columbia. S. C., a brother of the groom. During the ceremony. Mrs. Miller softly played “To a Wild Rose.” While the couple knelt in prayer, Miss Misenheimer sang. “O Perfect Love” The beautiful and impressive ring ceremony of the Lutheran Church was used, after which the bridal party re * tired to the strains of Mendelssohn’s Wedding March. Immediately following the cere mony Mr. and Mrs. Walker left for Washington and other cities of inter est. _ The bride is a most charming and lovable young woman. She -is -the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John W. Cress and a young woman of most pleasant personality and has a large circle of friends. Her popularity was attested by the large number of beau ’ tiful and useful gifts she received. The groom is a sou of Mr. and Mrs. John D. Walker, and is a very suc cessful and prosperous farmer. Up on their return from their honey moon, Mr. and Mrs. Walker will make their home with the parents of the bride. X.

In the ninth inning of a very ex citing game, the Concord Highs de feated an ancient rival, the Albemarle Highs, by the score of six -to fn r e on Wedenesda.v afternoon. The game was very fast and constantly running over With thrills. While Albemarle was touching Williams for five meas ley hits the locals were pounding the ’ ball into every corner of the lot for a total of nine safeties, many of these going .for extra bases. The game started off as a means of fattening battiug averages of which several of the locals took advantage. In the first inning the locals pushed 1 two runs across the home platter, while Albemarle fell short with only one tally. Hinkle settled down and held the locals until the fifth when one.more crossed. They also scored one in the seventh and tuo in the ninth to win the game. Williams Avas holding the Albemarle Sluggers to one in the eighth and t\A ? o in the ninth. Brown lead off bad. walking the first three inen to face him, and avus then relieved by Williams,i who be came master of the situation. Duke hud bis eye on the bal land had one of this best fielding daj’s. Hunter also did nice work behind the plate. Captain "Watts has regained his lost batting eye and poked out a double and a tri])Je. The double would have resulted in a home run had it not struck a large can in left field. Coch ran also poled out a double. For Al bemarle. Casper and Hatley played outstanding ball. Both made nice plays in the field, handling several difficult chances, aud Hatley started two double plays. The locals have their next game with Spencer litre Friday. In tbs first game with Spencer the locals Avere defeated three to tAAO, twelve in nings. The game Friday promises to be one of the very best played on the Ujeals’ back yard. With three pitch era Avorkiug effectively and the infield ers and outfielders working as smooth as usual, defeat could not look the highs straight in the face. Today’s win made the ninth for the season. The locals have Avon nine, lost three and tied one. This is a record that any profesionul team would he proud of.

That Ex -1 tension of Lines Is a Real Necessity. > Officials of the Piedmont and North s era Railway company are ready to l agree that the Interstate | Commerce - Commission has jurisdiction over their , extension plans, Washington reports 1 indicate, ami huve agreed tj> go to the * mat with officials of othei) rail com panies who are opposing the proposed - extensions. I Under the neAV plan of campaign * the P. & X. officials will seek to prove * the necessity of the proposed exten sions, thus leaving undecided for the * present at least, the question of juris >’ diction. H. E. C. Bryant Avrites as follow** in the Charlotte Obseiwer about the new plann of she interurban under a 1 Washington date-line: i By agreement with counsel the In terstate Commerce Commission will t have a real hearing on the proposal of the Piedmont and Northern Railway - company to continue the construction f of its interurban lines from Spartan ’ burg to Gastonia and from Charlotte - to Winston-Salem, and Durham. This time it will be on the merits * of the application for a certificate of - public convenience and necessity. ■ In other word**, the Piedmont and ’ Northern will not rest on the argu ’ ment that it is an interurban road, and does not come within the juris diction of the commission. It will 1 fight it out on the broader ground * that it is entitled to the certificate. The Piedmont and Northern, repre sented by Mark XV. Potter, E. Thom ason, XV. S. O B. Robinson and others, . on the one side, and the Southern, Seaboard* Air Line, Coast Line, Clinch field, the Charleeto & Western Caro . !ina, on the other, are lined up for a hard fight. It is important that the AA’ork of . eonwtructing the links to the system started by James B. Duke, the attor neys for the Piedmont and Northern , have* told thel commission, go forward now. The company is ready to com mence Avork immediately at several j points. The commission will try to speed up it* answer. ’ “It already has placed large quan | tities of materials on the ground and > incurred expense in large amounts.” it was explained. If the Piedmont and Northern suc ceeds before the Interatate'M’ommeree j Commission here, and it is predicted it will, millions of dollars will be cx , pended in the Piedmont regions of North and South Carolina. 1 The commifision is told that Mr. Duke, by providing hydro-electric pow , er, caused the south to flourish. , “The development in cotton milk and industries of varied character /that ha ye bc*u attracted by the cheap power and k'hndy, efficient transporta | tlon that Mr. Duke provided is phe | nominal and unique,” it is asserted. “Many thousands were provided ’ with employment iu that territory by what Mr. Duke did. He did it no where else. He had in mind the inter relation of all He de : signed his traction plan to’ tie them together and serve them peculiarly as a local interurban neterprise while giving contact Avith the outride world.” It is the aim of those behind the ■ present project to carry out as nearly ■ as possible Mr. Duke’s original idea.

Oibson, Talented Singer of Concord, Added Pleasure to Program in a Local "Church. IB’S MRS. PARIS KIDD.) Another interesting feature of Con cord’s fiesta of music was the lecture organ recital given last evening gt the First Presbyterian Church, by EdAvin M. Sterkel, director of music of the Gastonia public schools, and organ ist of the Second Presbyterian Church of Charlotte. He was ably assisted by Mrs. H. G. Gibson, avlio resides in Concord, and is Avell and favorably known here as a singer. Mr. Steckel was introduced to his audience by Dr. Jesse C. Rowan, pastor of the church. In discussing the A r alue of music in life'Mr. Steckel elaasified it as the fourth great human need, ranking in imivortance with food, clothing, and shelter. Everybody. he said. must, and will, have some form of music in life. He divided man, in his relation to the Avorld of music, into three group**: the gifted feAv. who. having “tuned in” upon divine harmonies are able to create music; the performers, who reproduce, with varying degrees of nrt : stic skill, the harmonies that have been created; and the vast army of listener**, who must be educated in appreciation of music before the nation can ever bo musically great. The speaker made the point that music has a three-fold appeal to man kind: the purely physical appeal, Avliich is satisfied by jazz or composi tions having marked rhythm, a type that can be readily appreciated by the person of limited education; the in tellectual api»eal made by a type of music for which a taste must be cul tivated ; and the emotional or spirit ual appeal which is best satisfied by tuneful melodies and beautiful har monics. After paying tribute to the excel lent work being done in the Goneord public schools in music, Mr. Steckel explained that the views of educators' regarding the place of music the cur riculum of the public school has un dergone a marked change. Formerly it AA-as purely recreational; now it is treated seriously as an educational subject. He next' discussed music in the home. Parents, lie declared, are quite particular as to the quality of English their children use, the kind of pic tures they see, and the books and magazines they read. “But are they as part : eular about, the kind of music the children hear?” he asked. Mr. Steckel A-oieed his emphatic disapproval of the type of music now being taught t<> children in Sunday School as appealing too strongly to thf physical rather than to the spir itual nature. To illustrate his point lie played several popular Sunday Slffiool songs Avhieh he characterized Rs a sort of “Gospel Jazz." He advo >afed more use'of the grand old rejig? iotis melodies in Sunday school. “Where are children going to learn the hymns of the church if not in Sunday School?” he asked. de denouuced the present tendency of some makers of Sunday School song books to attempt to evangelize popu lar secular melodies, which can never be- disassociated, in the minds of the people, from their original secular Avords. The speaker next discussed Folk music. which, he declared, reflects the history of a nation quite as much as M literature. ‘‘Don’t let anyone tell you that America has no Folk-music, or that jazz is American Folk-music,” he ad vised. .“People like what they knoAv and can remember.” continued Mr. Steck el. “Therefore, to make good music popular, you must make it familiar.” • As to the difference between popu lar and classical music, the speaker de fined all melodies that li\’e in the hearts of the people as classics. Avhether Avritten by Smith or Jones or sonic foreigner with an unpronounce able name. For the first number of his organ program. Mr. Steckel played a compo sition of the intellectual type, “Chor ale” and “Minuet,” two movements of a suite by Belleman, a modern French composer. His next number was its exact opposite, for its appeal was altogether to the spirit in its beautiful melodic quality and exquisite harmonies. This avus “Largo” from the New Yorld Symphony, by Dvorak, Who, while teaehing in New York, toured the South, and Avas so impress ed by the negro melodies that he in corporated some of them into a sym phony. Rhythm was much in the background in this composition, while harmony was emphasized. One par ticularly soul-touching motiff ran through the 1 theme like a golden thread. His third number, “Amarylis Ga votte.” founded on an old musical theme known as “Air dc Louis XIII,” is the favorite of the Gastonia stu dents. It wUiK a bright, cheerful num-j ber with decided rhythm, but not in any sense jazz. M rs. Gibson next sang two num bers. “Still As the X : ght,” and “Now r ; Let Us Bo Exceeding Glad.” Mr. Steckel’s next organ number was a composition by that master of melody. Franz SMiubert, Avhose gen ills was unfortunately lost to the world soon after he passed the age of thirty. This selection was a beautiful song entitled “Ave Maria.” The ffext number. “Springtime Sketch,” by John Hyde Brewer, a New York composer, pictured the lightness, beauty, aud gaycty of the spring. For the concluding number of his program, Mr. Steckel played an organ arrangement of Handel's magnificent “Hallelujah Chorus” from “The Mes siah.’ It AA’orked up to a climax and ended in a perfect burst of harmony. Mr. Steckel is one of the most ver satile artists that has appeared in our city for some time, being a lec turer of ability, a gifted pianist, and an accomplished ofganifit. He js also said to be an excellent teacher of his *rt, since the music department under bis direction us regarded as one of the best in, the state, 1 REMAINDER OF t MUSIC WEEK’S PROGRAM GIVEN | Contest This Afternoon, Re cital at Forest Hill Tonight and Recital at Hotel Fri day Evening.
