Here tofore it has been customary to allow car owners who fail to secure tags by July Ist several days grace but this will be dispensed with this year. “Plates are available at 35 Carolina Motor Club offices throughout North Carolina,” Mr. Roberts said, “and we have adequate staffs to supply the customers if they buy now.

The musty and yellow contents of a little tin box-ransomed by progress from ita stone dShflnement after 45 years— moved back the hands of time to a rare June day in 1882 when the cornerstone of the St. James Church, doomed to release its site for a mag n:ficent modern church, was opened Monday afternoon in the presence of eager Lutherans and others. The hum-drum of Fnion street was forgotten by the 'few spectators, only the dull thud of picks reached- their ears, as the bricks were -broken from their cement ties to reach the box in its marble encasement. In the throes of excitement, yet strangely sad, the group of men stood silently until finally the box was discernable in the sunlight. Then a sudden outburst of enthus iastic speech, eagerness to ascertain its treasure, broke the silence as nim ble hands brought from its long years of confinement the corroded box— bearing marks of its struggle against the elements, to preserve its contents telling of another age. To three men in the group it was a moment of sadness when the weather searred box was lifted from its stone bed, yet an action of approvement. They realized as did the others that the same purpose which built this church is claspel firmly in the arms of progress which builds the new one. To these three men —C. A. Cook, R. E. Ridenhour, Sr., and J. A. Cline— came visions doubtless of that event ful June morning when this corner stone was laid—, back in the days when Concord was scarcely more than a village and before the automo bile, airplane or radio, were conceiv ed. Perhaps ' they thought of the ’Lutherans in their quaint dress gath ered for the ceremonies attending the initial ‘service of their new House of worship. Evert though nature’s forces had en joyed success partly in its battle to destroy the tin box, the lid held fast as nervous hands endeavored to open it. Then the box was carried up to local tin shop where with the' use of tools the seal was broken : by Mr. Cook. To Mr. Cline was given the ■l——■ ——— The Touring $C O C or Roadster J SU *625 *695 SE&? *715 Ck. *745 EZJzr* *7BO H-Ton Track $ Chassis only 1-Ton Track Chassis only All prices f.o. b.

As the lid was opened sunlight for ' the first time in 45 years fell upon the dampened and yellowed papers, and the spectators gathered close . around to see. A Bible, its covers * partly eaten away by ravages of na ture. was removed first; next the box t gave up a Lutheran Book of Wor ship. The latter la in a fair atate of preservation. f “The Lutheran Visitor, 1 ’ a religious , publication, was taken out next. It 5 more the date of June 1, 1882, and g was published at Prosperity, 8. C. It » is in a good state of preservation, and may be read easily. In it is a story of 1 the death of Charles parwin, author \ of the “Origin of the Species.” This f drew much comment frofn the inter ested audience gathered in the tin s shop. { Other papers taken from the box r were: ‘The Workman,” also a Luth -1 eran publication. It was printed in j Pittsburgh June 8, 1882. A copy of the June 10th issue, 1882, of The » Concord Sun, a weekly medium; also j a copy of The Concord Register, an x other weekly paper. The editor of the latter was H. I. Woodhouse. An is . sue of “Our Church Paper,” printed , Jure 8, 1882, at New Market, Va., . was also in the box. Still another , church paper. “The Lutheran Obser _ ver.” published June 2. 1882, at I- Philadelphia, was among the con , tents. A pamphlet giving the minutes of the 78th annual meeting «f the Evan -1 gelieal Lutheran Synod of North ’ Carolina, held at Sandy Church, Ty ro, in Davidson county, in 1882, w T as ; contained in the box. This was The ' topic of much gripping talk. And, an ' almanac of 1882, published by the Lutherans, was in the box. Beneath all of these interesting ' books and papers was a paper, index ing the contents. The older Luther ans recognized this as the handwriting of John K. Patterson, prominent Con cord citizen, who in 1882 and subse quent yearn was secretary of St. James. Mr. Patterson was not pres ’ flit when the box was opened, but ar rived later. However, his son was , present. * On the pamphlet giving the min utes of the North Carolina synod could , be discerned the name of Rev. S. T. , Hollman who was pastor of the church in 1882. Concord people will recall the recent death of \Qr. Hollman Spar , tanburg, S. C. ; The names of the building commit tee at the church now being torn . away were placed in the box, but the ravages of the elements had rotted the paper on which they were written in to fine bits of black scraps. The build ing committee was composed of A. J. .Blackwelder, G. C. Blume, George W. Brown with J. S. Fisher and D. R. Hoover as advisory members. Among those who were witnesses to the opening of the cornerstone Mon day afternoon were: Rev. L. A. Thomas, present pastor of the St. James Lutheran Church ; Gilbert Hen drix, chairman of the building com mittee for the new church; C. ( A. Cook, R. E. Ridenhour, Sr., A. C. Cline, Dr. H. C. Herring and others. In all probability all of the con tents of the cornerstone of the doom ed building will be placed together with new reeords in the cornerstone of the new cdiurch. The latter will be a stately structure of Gothic architec ture, modern and adequate to care for future growth of the membership of the St. James flock. The task of razing the old church and parsonage ’ was begun Monday morning, /and rapid progress was made during the day in dismantling the structures. All of the fixtures of the church, including the organ, pews, etc., were removed during the iporn ing. and in the afternoon the window’s were taken out.- Within a period of two weeks, it appears now’ with favorable weather conditions, the old church and manse will have been torn completely away, and shortly after excavation for the new building will get under way. The new building will be constructed by Blythe & Isenhour, of Charlotte. The architects are Spencer and Phillips, of Memphis, Tenn. The new church, complete, it is es timated will cost far in excess of SIOO,OOO.
