Closing of The
Graded School.
Graduating Eiercisis by Glass
ol 1911 Dravs Large
Audience.
A host of Hickory people filled
the Graded School auditorium last
Friday to hear the graduating
exercises of the class of 1911.
The members of the class were
seated in a riniraround thestage,
a pretty girl between every good
looking boy. The members of
the class were as follows: Johm
Will Aiken, Mary Allen. Mary
Belle Bumgarner, Carl Vernon
Cline. John Leroy Deaton, Annie
Imogene Finger. James Abel
Frye, Samuel Waitzle Hawn,
Marv Knox Henderson, Reulah
Aurora Huffman. Adelaide Macon
Johnston, Grace Patrick, Weston
Lenoir Taylor. Rachel Ellen
White, Chester Clay Williams.
Essays were read by the fol
lowing: Evolution of the Ame.i
can Highway, by Mary Knox
Henderson; the Value of Educa
tion, by Samuel Waitzle Hawn;
Farm Life, by Annie Imogene
Finger; Forest Preservation, by
James Abel Frye; Joan of Arc,
by Grace Patrick; Some of Hick
ory's Meeds, i by John Lery Dea
ton.
Piano Solos were rendered with
skill and animation by Misses
Grace Patrick and Adelaide Macon
Johnston. The former played
Princess Valse from Galdner.and
the latter La Sirine Valse from
Thome.
The essays were well prepared
and showed careful preparation
on the part of all the young folks.
In fact the class proved itself to
be an unusually strong one intel
lectually.
Principal Staley in his remarks
said that in point of attendance
this had been the best year the
school had ever known. Indeed
it was too good for the comfort
of the school on account of the
cramped conditions in the build
ing. The work has been of a
high order and the perceDtage ot
Vromirtißffiias been higher than
the average. He believed the
school was entering upon a new
«ra.
There were 41 children who
had been present every day and
27 had keen kept away by the
usual epidemics that child flesh
is heir to.
The prayer was offered byßev.
J. D. Harte and the exeirises
closed bv the singing of the class
song. Every member of the
class was showered with bou
quets.
The enrolement in the graded
school for the year just closed
reached the total of 650. The
average daily attendance was
about 500. There were thirteen
teachers in the school; so the en
rollment averaged 50 pupils for
each teacher. Five years ago
there were only eight teachers
with an enrolement >f 400 pupils.
This comparison shows some
thing of the growth of the school.
If the same rate of increase is
kept up for the next five years,
there will be more than 1,006
children in the school.
There were 43 pupils who had
a record ofperfect attendance for
the year. This is to say that
they were present every day and
were not tardy a single- time.

Lentz Wins
By 5 Votes
Election Very Close Old Alder-
manic Reelected.
Mr. J. A. Lentz was elected
mayor of Hickory Monday in one
of the hottest elections ever held
in this citv, receiving five major
ity over Mr. J. D. Elliott N
The three retiring; members of
the old board of Alderman,
Messra. C. H. Geitner, W. B.
Menzies and G. N. Hutton, were
reelected by about twentv-five
majority each over Messrs. J. A.
Bowles, W. X. Reid and T. A.
Mtftt
The election was one of the
fiercest ever held here. The his
tory of the campaign is well
known. Mayor Elliott and the
old members of the board declined
to run again. In a town meeting
Mr. Lentz and the three members
of the old board were nominated.
Again the three members de
clined to serve, and then a second
primary was called when to the
Lentz ticket were added Messrs.
Bowles, Reid and Mott as alder
manic candidates though ilone of
these gentlefhen wished the place
but only consented to serve at
the request of their townsmen.
The friends of the old admin
istration, however, contended
that the old board ought to finish
the street work and so they were
run again, Mayor Elliott being
out of the city at time, and
not giving his permission to use
his name. The result was as
above. The electioneering wasj
hot and there were several clash
es between citizens on the streets,
although friends always inter
posed to prevent any serious
, damage.
Out of a registration of 550.
there were 472 votes polled,
which is considered a very large
vote. Up to the time the votes
were counted no man could tell
how the election was going.
The judges were Messrs. F. A.
Clinard, J. H. Hatcher, M. L.
Sherrill with Mr. W. L. Gilbert
as clerk.
, The vote follows:
Lentz 237; Elliott 232.
Geitner 262; Bowles 213.
Hutton 252; Watt 210.
Menzies 255; Reid 224.
The school board consisting of
Dr. H. C. Menzies, G. F. Ivey
and C. C. Bost was elected with
out opposition.

HICKORY, N.C., THURSDAY. MAY -4. 1911.
J The Week in the
i Women's Clubs. 5
The last meeting of this year's
series of the Hickory Book Club
was held at Miss Geitner's Mrs.
Jacques Busbee of Raleigh was
an honored guest. As all the
books had been read, the varied
opinions of them were of unusual
interest. The books were:
The Girl from the Marsh
Croft, Laeerlof.
Susan in Sicily, Tozier.
Simion the Jester, Locke.
A Vagabond Journey round
the World, Franck.
The Doctor's Lass, : Booth.
The Dragon Painter, MoCall. i
Cavanagh, Garland.
The O'Flynn, McCarty.
A Village of Vagabonds,
Berkeley Smith.
Ekkehard, Von Sneffield,
Romantic Legend of Spain,
Becquer-Bates.
Current Events afforded vari
ous topics for conversation and
the treatment of the hostess'
book "Susan in Sicily" was also
enjoyed.
For the next year Mrs. Roy
ster was elected President, Miss
Wheeler, Vice Pres., Mrs. E. L.
Shuford, Sec.
On adjourning to tfrfe dining
room, the hospitality of the hos
tess was still more an evidence.
The place-cards were pen sketch
es characteristic of the book
chosen by each member, Sicilian
oranges as boxes were
also given as souvenirs. All lin
gered over the delightful menu,
and still lingered dreading to
sa> "Goodbye" after a year of so,
much pleasure resulting not only!
from books, but more than all j
since the Club has completed its;
fourteenth year from the better!
knowledge of old friends.
Mrs. C. C. Bost entertained
the Thursday Study Club Aoril
27th. A3 this was the last-meet
ing for the year, the quotations
on parting were most appropriate.
Mrs. Worth Elliott read an inter
esting and amusing chapter on
Babu, and Mrs. Roy Abernethy
told of the Great River, Current
Events concluded the program
after which the members were
invited into the dining room,
which was brilliantl> lighted by
dozens of tiny candles, and fra
grant with great bowls of nar
cissus. A delicious supper was
served in courses by Misses Con
stance Bost and Gladys Reid. The
place cards were adorned with
small hand-painted elephants,
suggestive of India.
The graduating class of Hic
kory Grammar School, 1911, was
entertained by one of its mem
bers, Miss Mary Knox Hender
son at her home on Bth Avenue,
Friday evening last, the eve of
their graduation. The class had,
as guest of honor. Miss Cobb, of
the faculty, who has been in
charge of the tenth grade room
this year and last. All the grad
uates were in high spirits at the
success of their work, and the
faqt that they had "commenced
their education." Having gone
through so many examinations,
another one had no terrors for
them, so they bravely faced the
tough questions, twelve in num
ber, which were given them, and
made a fine record in their answ
er. >
The prize for answering every
question in the shortest time
went to the guest of honor, and
will be a much-prized souvenir in
her home in Morganton among-'
notified that a fortune-teller
waited to reveal their fortunes.
These were, for the most part,
of a cheering description, even
the pretty young lady who was
to marry "a barber named
Smith", was promised that she
would share with him unexam
pled prosperity and ride in gor
geous vehicles, etc.
The guests disbanded, thank
ing their hostess and her moth*
er for a delightful evening, af
ter they had partaken of refresh
ments in which the color-scheme
corresponded with the class col-,
ors, black and gold. One and
all earnestly hoped that their be
lov ed teacher may return next
year, to do for others what she
has so* well done for them.

King James
Version of Bible.
Rev. J. S. Moody Tells How
We Got tbe Great Tans
lation.
Rev. j. S. Moody, rector of the
church of the Ascension, preached
on the Tercentenary of the King
James Version of the Bible on a
recent Sunday the following
scholarly sermon:
Is. XL-6. ':The grass withereth, the
flower fadeth, but the word of our God
shall stand forever."
The three most priceless things
in human life are first, One's
Faith in a living Savior; second,
The Holy Scriptures; and, third,
The Church with its Means of
Grace. Other things may be,
and are accounted of singbiar
worth, of vast importance, home,
country, education, genius, ser
vice to ones fellow-men, but none
of these, nor all combined can
rank with first named.
I Today, throughout the world,
the eyes and thoughts of Chris
tendom are centered upon the
second in our list —viz.. The
Word of God, and more especial
ly the English Translation of
1611—known as the "Authorized
Version of the Scriptures"—
sometimes as the King James
Version, because undertaken in
the reign of, by authority of, and
at the suggestion of James I, of
England. (Now this 300dth anni
versary of that very momentous
event suggests a great variety of
lines of thought, many more
than it is possible to treat of in a
simple address. There is first of
all the interesting question which
few of us can probably answer,
"How did we get the Bible?"
That is a theme in itself, one of
deepest romance, and rich in its
suggestiveness. Secondly, there
is the history of the King James
Version and others like Wiclyffe's
and Tyndale's which are each
full of fascinating interest. And
thirdly, there are those numer
ous side items growing out of
the main one, each of which
deserve careful consideration at
a time like this. Such for in
stance as, (1) the influence of
the English Bible on the English
Language. (2) The influence of
the English Bible on English
Literature. (3) The English Bible
and the Life of the Pedple; its
influence 'on customs, laws,
government and social life. (4)
The peculiar place of the Bible
in Missions. (5) The English
Rible and Civil Liberty. (6) The
English Bible as a Factor in the
Spiritual Life of the English
Speaking People. As the his
torical study of our theme neces
sarily preceeds these practical
benefits first mentioned, let us
devote our address then to two
points—viz., first, "How we got
our Bible," and second, "The
King James or Authorized Version
which we commemorate today.)
1. Today the Holy Scriptures
differ in three respects from con
ditions in History 1800 y%ars ago.
We posses the old and new test
aments bound together in one
book, in the tongue which we
speak wherein we were born, and
so cheap and plentifdl that every
person, young and old, rich and
poor may each have a separate
copy. In those vears of long
ago—the Old Testament books as
as the New—recited chieflv in
the Hebrew and Greek Lan
guages, written on parchment
—"copies very scarce and
costly and to be found as a rule
in possession of churches in the
great centers—like Alexandria,
Egypt; Antioch, in Syria; Rome.
Constantinople and Ephesus. In
I the church,, then the mother
church, perhaps, of these ancient
cities would be a chest, contain
ing the O. T., in Hebrew; and a
copy of the same in Greek, also,
called the Septuagint, because
translated by 70 learned Jews in
Alexandria, Egypt, about 280 B.
C.. also separate copies in the
originals of the four Gospels,,
Acts, Epistles, Revelation of St.
John in Greek parchment rolls.
Now of course all these original
and very ancient Parchments
have been lost in the stormy days
of the downfall of the Roman
Saved Her Own Life. *
>- Lebanon Oct., Ky. —Mrs. Minni
Lamb," of this place, says, "I believe
T would have been dean by now, had
it not been Cardui. I havent had one.
those-~btd spells since I commenced
to use yout jbedicine." Cardui is a
specific! medLcme , for the ills that

Empire. There are today just
three Ancient Manuscripts on
Parchment, which are the oldest
Bibles in the world, though there
are, all told, about 1500 copies in
Greek also dating back to the
9th centurv. The proof of the
early date of/a manuscript is the
form of the letter which was al
ways large—a capital—which in
those days and also today by
scholars is called Unceal. a Latin
word meaning both ounce and
inch, an inch the 12th part of a
foot, an ounce the 12th part of a
pound in Roman usafce. (a) The
most ancient of the three manu
scripts of the Bible is the
Vatican Mas. in the Great Li
brary of the Roman church at
Not until a few years
ago was a Protestant scholar
allowed even to look at, much less
examine a copy of this most
priceless literature, (b) The next
oldest manuscript is called the
Sinaitic, because found only 50
years ago in St. Catharines Con
vent at the foot of Mt. Sinai, in
Arabia, by a celebrated German
scLolar, Dr. Tischendorf. This
most reliable discovery is now
stored up in the Library of St.
Petersburg and is the cherished
posession of the Greek or Rus
sian church, (c) And lastly the
youngest of the three manu
sciipts has special interest for us,
being in the custody of the Eng
lish church and preserved with
her other natural treasures in
the British Museum. This is
called the Alexandria Museum,
and was presented to Charles
the First of England by Cyril
Lucar, Patriarch of Constanti
nople, A. D. 1628, seventeen
year's after our authorized Ver
sion and so too late to be of use
in its preparation. Copies of all
three of these- ancient manu
scripts may be seen in most of
the large libraries of the world.
It is worthy of special note that
each of the three Great Histori
cal churches of Christdom, Ro
man. Russian and Anglican have
thus one of these early valuable
manuscripts. 2. Aside from
these ancient manuscripts, there
are of course many ancient ver
sions of the scriptures into
various languages of which we
have time to notice only the Vul
gate, Latin, of St. Jerome, second
only in interest and importance
to our King James Version and
therefore meriting our particular
notice. Jerome was a monk" of
Bethlehem and because of his
high reputation as a scholar,
especially in his knowledge of
the Hebrew language, Damasus,
Bishop of Rome applied to him to
undertake the new version of
the Scripture into Latin. This
was completed between A. D.
385 and 400. No other work has
ever had such influence on the
Bible. For more than a thou
sand years it was the parent of
every version of the scriptures
in Western Europe.
3. Another witness to the
Ancient Scriptures are the nu
merous quotatations from the
various books ot the Bible to be
found in early Christian writings.
We have aiso the Epistle of Bar
nabas and one by Clement, bish
op of Rome spoken off by St.
Paul in Phil. IV:3—both almost
as early as St. Paul's o\wa writ
ings; and quotations from St.
Ignatius, Bishop of Antioch only
40 years after the Ascension,
and those of Poly carp, the Mor
tyr who told of his conversation
with St. John and others who
had seen the Lord, and many
others sufficient to reproduce for
us the greater part of the Bible
• rtr' * VI UIV/lid
Should all have been lost. And
not least of all, brethren, do the
writings and quotations of these
early Fathers establish our faith
in and set our minds at rest as to
the truth and divine character
of our Holy Religion. We are
not following cunningly devised
fables nor trusting in human
philosphy, the things of the
Spirit.

The Danger Of Going Bare
footed.
As the season is now approach
ing when all children desire to go
barefooted, it is well that they
should be warned that this pleas
ure does not come without dan
ger. Until recent years we' at
ta~ched little importance to ground
itch,.or toe itch, so commonly
seen among barefooted children
who go about in the dew or other
damp places. We now know that
ground-itch is the initial symptom
of hook worm disease# and that
it would not develope unless the
soil had been polluted by suffer
ers from the disease. The my
riads of eggs passing daily along
with the excreta from their bodies
develope into tiny microscopic
worms too small to be seen. These,
when allowed to come in contact
with the skin, burrow through,
producing an attack of ground
itch. The truth of this assertion
can be easily proved by making
a poultice of polluted soil and ap
plying it for a few hours to some
part of the body. Always at the
site of such a poultice there de
velopes the ground-itch rash if
there be a sufficeint number of
worms entering the skin.
About fifty days after the at
tack of ground-itch the little
