ST. JAMES VERSION.
And now it is time to dwell at
length upon the events connected
with that version which has been
for three centuries the joy of so
many generations of Christ's fol
lowers, and the inspiration of so
much that is highest and best in
Western Civilization and English
Christendom —viz : "Ou** author
ized or King James Version."
The history of English Versions
dating from the Monk Caedmon
(550 down to 1611 deserves rever
ent study at our hands but I can
only glance at it in a general
way in order to prepare us for
the greatest and most enduring
of them all. Caedmon, the Monk
of 650 was followed by another
Monk, the Ven. Bede in 735, and
he by King Alfred the Great,
whose translations of the Larin
Scriptures into the mother
toague was limited to only a few
books of the Bible, usually the
Psalms and Gospels. The first
complete versions of the whole
Bible into English were those of
Wycliffe, a priest of 1388 and
Tyndale, a distinguished Land
lord of Oxford, born a year after
Luther and dying a martyrs
death October 6, 1536. One or
two incidents in connection with
both these men and their ver
sions, are too note-worthy to
pass over, and then to our special
task. Brethren how little vie
know of the sufferings and sacri
fice endured for the sake of God's
word and the Kingdom *>f Jesus
Christ by the faithful ones of
the past Take Wycliffe, he
painfully wrote out in manu
script his translation of the Bible,
requiring 10 months of incessant
labor to make one copy and cos t
ing when done, from 3 to 5 hur -
dred dollars. So precious was
God's word in those days that
men gave a load of hay for per
mission to read one of the copies
for one hour. We are told of a
young woman —Alice Collins—
who was sent for in various parts
• of England to recite the ten com
mandments and parts of the
Epistles of St. Paul and Peter,
which she knew by heart, and
all this carried on at the risk of
ones life because the church
authorities already forbade the
common people to read the word
of God. How touching to our
ears sounds the prayer found in
the Old Bible Preface. "God
grant us to ken (to know) and to
keep well Holie Writ and to
suffer joyfuWy some pain for it
at the last." When the next
version, that of Tyndale appeared,
pr'nting had been invented,
America distiovered and Greek
copies of the Scriptures brought
from the East to Western Eurooe.
Forbidden to carry on his labors
of translation in England, Tyn
dale fled to Germany and soon
thousands of printed New Testa
ments were smuggled into Eng
land in bags of flour and bales of
dress goods and in every conceiv
able channel. There is no grand
er life in the annals of the churcn
than that of Tyndale. Poverty,
distress and misrepresentation
were his constant lot; impris
onment and death were ever
staring him in the face. Many
times in the midst of hip labors
he was heard to say, "If they
burn me also, they shall do none
other thing than I look for." And
so on October 6, 1536, his fears
were realized. He was dragged
from his dungeon—strangled
and then burnt to ashes—fer
vently praying at the last —' 'Lord
open the King of Englands
eyets"—which God soon an
swered.
These versions were followed
in rapid succession by no less
than six other versions in that
same century —which brings Us
now to a brief sketch of the
King James version we seek to
honor at this time. King,
James, came to England,in 1603
to succeed Elizabeth. He was
the son of Mary Queen of Scots
of unhappy memory and Lord
Darnley, and his name is per
petrated in America by the first
English Colony in 1607 calling
their settlement in Virginia —
Jamestown. James was a weak
King but deeply interested in
learning and theology. A French
Duke cailed him "the nicest Lord
in Europe." In January, 1604, a
celebrated conference met at
Hampton Court Palace to confer

| about church questions and
' grievances and it was then de
cided to bring'out a new version
of the Scriptures. Fifty men,
the most learned and devoutest
scholars of England, were ap
pointed for the task. Six com
panies or groups of scholars
were selected—two to meet in
Oxford, two in Cambridge and
two in Westminister, London.
These men labored unceasingly
for 7 years, and received no com
pensation for their work, except
entertainment, and $7.50 per
week, on the final revision of the
complete version. The book was
printed 1612-13, and immediate
ly took its place in the homes
a d churches of the court. About
300 copies of that first edition
exist today and are worth about
$2OO apiece, a copy can be found
in the Astor Library of N. Y.,
and Mr. J. P. Morgans private li
brary. We cannot dwell today
upon its literary merits, but let
us think of it as knit into the
experience of those nations
whom God has put into the con
trol of the earth, England,
America, Germany. It has,
then, a sovereign right to com
mand oar attention, a supreme
power to tax and.control our in
terest Think of it as a book set
deep in the experience of our
race. Then if we would know
our responsibilities and capacities
we must know its story intimate
ly. Think of it first as literature
that has colored and shaped the
conscience and imagination of
Western Christendom. Think of
it as the book of devotion to high
aims and ennobling ends from
which the choicest spirits of the
world have drawn strength and
inspiration. Then as men of
serious mind we must study this
book thoroughly. As we go
deeper into our own hearts, we
discover another motive at work.
This book, the book of life to our
fathers, is the self same book of
life to us, their children. Christ
speaks to us in it and He has en
kindled in us the sweet and mas
terful hope that we ourselves,
like many ot those who have
gone before us, may grow up to
thejloing of a perfect work. And
so we look at this wonderful book
reverently, thankfully, and as
we look, warm and joyous
thought of the deeds of God and
the words of Christ visit our
souls and cheer us on to do our
best, to ken and keep the Book
of Holv Writ —at any cost—till
life's evening close around us..

t
Takes Hickory Longer Than
Other Places to Finish
1 the- Course.
Tothe Editor of the Democrat;
The people of Hickory have
the right to expect and demand
of the city schools that thorough
work be done in all the grades,
>that the course of study snail be
complete enough to prepare the
pupils for the ordinary ayocations
of life 98 well as for entrance
into the colleges, and that the
work be done in as few years as
possible. ;
Those in charge of the schools
are trying to meet these just
demands of the parents, Thor
oughness is required in tlw work
of all grades, emphasis
and stress is laid on such impor
tant subjects as spelling", writing,
leading, arithmetic and gram
mar. The oourse of study, while
not so high as in many other
towns, is full enongh to admit to
the oollcges under condition.
But it requires thirteen years
to do the work with proper thor
oughness.
The school term in Hipkory is
only eight months. In such
cities as Asheville and Durham
the school term is nine and a '
half months. In other towns
like Charlotte, Statesville, Mon
roe and Lenoir the term janine
months. It can be easily "Seen
that it is is difficult to do in
eight months what other towns
do in nine months or longer.
The university and the colleges
of the State require 14 units of
high school work for uncondi
tioned entrance. The high school
department of Hickory schools
is credited with only 12.7 units,
while the school at Lenoir is '
credited with full 14 units.
All of the leading schools now
have eleven grades: seven grades
in the elementry departments,
and four grades in the high
school. In all these schools it 1
requires twelve years for the av- ]
erage pupils to complete the !
course. In the Hickory schools, ;
with an eight months'term and •
with crowded' grades, it- takes !
thirteen years to do the work as 1
thoroughly as it should be done.
It is believed, however, that the 1
work can be done in twelve 1
years, even with a term of only 1
eight months, if sufficient teach- '•
ers are provided.
The present school building 1
was designed to accomodate 400
pupilsten— rooms with 40 pupils
in a room. But for the past year j
the average daily attendance 1
was 500, and many days there
were 530 or more children pres- '
ent. For the coming year there \
should be at least 16 teachers. 1
one teacher for every 35 pupils 1
in daily; attendance. In the rural
one teacher is allowed !
for ever 30 pupils in daily atten- 1
dance. But how 4s it possible for '
sixteen teachers to work in a 1
building - which has only ten
rooms?
These are the conditions which
now exist in the school. It is
very probable that within the
next seven or eight years pro
vision will have to be made for i
more than a thousand children.
We all rejoice at the growth of
Hickory, but this growth brings
additional responsibilities and
tasks. And it becomes necessary
to plan not only for present con
ditions but also for future needs.
It is clearly evident that addi
tional school buildings must be
provided if the work in the
schools is done thoroughly, and
if the pupils are to complete the
course\in the same number of
years that is required in other
towns and cities. And whatever
js done must be done at once,
or the school will open in Sep
tember under the same crowded
conditions that have excelled for
the last two or three years.

I Death of Mr. W. B. Ferguson.
Mr. W. B. Ferguson, of the
1 Waynesville bar, died at Frank
lin during court Wednesday,
May 3. He was the father of
Mrs. A. A. Shuford, Jr. of Hick
ory, who with Mr. Shuford at
tended the funeral at Waynes
ville the following Saturday.
Resolutions were adopted by
Franklin Court which in part
were as follows:
Whereas, at eight o'clock this
morning the spirit of Mr. W. B.
Ferguson, an old and honored
membeE of the Waynesville bar,
took its everlasting flight from
the scenes of his earthly labors;
and, whereas, he was for many
years a practitioner in this Court,
honpred and esteemed for his
ability as a lawyer, his high
character as a citizen, and for
his pure and unsullied life; and
whereas, upon the convening of
Macon Superior Court on this
morning of May 3,1911, the Hon.
E. B. Cline, Judge presiding,
spoke feelingly of his worth and
character, likening his passing
away to the sentiments contained
in the following beautiful lines:
What if some morning, when fhe stars •
Were paling,
And the dawn whitened, and the East
was clear,
Strange peace and rest fell on me from *
the presence !
Of a benignant angel standing near.' ]
And should I tell him, as he stood be- 1
side me- |
"This is our earth, most friendly earth j
and fair;
T)aily its .sea and shore, through sun and
shadow,
Faithful it turaa, robed in its azure
air.
' "There is blest living here, loving and
serving, i
And quest of truth and serene friend
ships dear;
But stay not, spirit; Earth has one des- 1
troyer,
His name is Death; flee lest he find
thee here."
And what if then, while still the morn*
ing brightened, !
And freshened in the elm the sum- i
mer's breath,
Should gravely smile on me the gentle
angel,
And take my hand and say, "My name i
is Death." (
And whereas, upon motion it
was unanimously decided that
the entire Court and its offtcers 1
in a body accompany the remains (
to the railway station; that the 1
Hon. J. Frank Ray and the Hon.
Sam L. Rogers be designated to :
accompany them to Spartanburg, 1
there to be met by the family ■
of the deceased; and. whereas,
the Court thereupon adjourn
ment out of respect to the 1
memory of our deceased brother 1
after the appointment of a com- 1
mittee to draft suitable resolu- '
tions on his death.
Therefore be it resolved:
That in the passing of our 1
friend and brother we, in com- 1
mon witn the bar of the 16th
Judicial District, have sustain- ■
ed the loss of one Who "lived con- !
siderate to his kind. His love
bestowed was not a thing of
fractions, half-way done, but *
with a mellow goodness like the (
sun he shone o'er mortal hearts, 1
and brought their buds to bloom 1
early—thence to fruits and
seeds."

Want Ford Cars to Carry Ex
tra Weight.
The Ford Model T. has been
barred from the big races to be
held at the Motordrome in Indi
anapolis on Decoration day. The
officials of the meet insisted that
the Ford be loaded down with
several hundred pounds of lead
before it could find a class to en
ter. There is no car made in the
Ford's class, except those much
heavier. That of course, is on
account of the Ford heat-treated
vanadium steel used in the con
struction of the Model T, which
enables the makers to eliminate
weight without the sacrifice of
strength. x In fact, the use of
Vanadium insures the most rug
ged durability possible.
The thousands of Ford owners
throughout the country (and
thei #are 80,000 of them at the
present time) will regret exceed
ingly that their champion has
been unable to find a place on the
programme for the championship
races at Indianapolis.

The Naw Mayor
of Hickory.
Mr. Lentz Found His Opportunity
lor Success in Lumber
Business.
John Albert Lentz, Hickory's
new mayor, was born in Rowan -
county and was raised on a farm.
He lived with his uncle, Mr. T.
1. Linn and when the latter mov
ed to Hickory Mr. Lentz was a
lad of 14 years. He did not have
manv school advantages but was
able to attend Gatawba College
for a couple of years, studying
under that eminent instructor,
Dr. Clapp, and among his class
mates were Rev. Dr. J. L.Murphy
and Mr. Bob Cline,
Mayor Lentz/married Miss
Mollie Wiley, daughter of Sheriff
Wiley, who moved here from
Caswell county.
Mr. Lentz was fortunate in
bis choice of a business. He
went into lumbering when that
industry was almost in its infancy
in North Carolina. The moun
tains of the state to which Hick
ory is one gateway were rich in
primeval forests. Mr. Lentz
made himself master of this pro
fitable industry and is today one
of Hickory's most well-to-do cit
izens and safest business men.
He worked at the Piedmont
Wagon Works for five years—
that great industry of this place
which made it what it is and
which has been the nucleus of its
continued growth. For a time
Mr. Lentz was in the saw milling
end of the lumber business and
then went into the shop business
with Mr. George Bonniwell. He
was for a time in the Hickory
M fg. Co. After several business
shifts he and Mr. W. H. Westall,
of Asheville, established the
Hickory Novelty Co., which has
become one of the largest sash,
door and blind factories in west
ern North Carolina.
The city has often called on
Mr. Lentz to serve her., His
service on the board of aldermen
embraces 14 years and Con the
school board two. He has al
ways stood for the great moral
issues. The first time he went
on the board he won by two ma
jority and Hickory was dry for
the first time in its history.
He was one of the charter
members of the building and loan
association and has always been
an enthusiast in this enterprise
which has enabled so many la
boring people in Hickory to own
their own homes. He is still on

A Wonderful Discovery
Which Practically Elimin
ates the Dangers of Death
by Catarrh or Diseases
Which Originate with Ca
tarrh.
(From the Paterscn, N. J., Guardian.)
Ninety-four per cent, of all the dis
eases with which the human system is
afflicted, originate or turn into catarrh;
assuring himself of this fact, Dr.
Barker gave the matter of catarrh his
entire time and study, and after several
years of the most thorough research for
a remedy which would positively cure
catarrh in any form, he prepared a pre
scription which he used in his private
practice without a single failure of any
case of catarrh he treated. After a con
siderable amount of persuasion he con
sented to put the prescription up incon
venient form, so that sufferers from tnis
terrible disease could purchase the
treatment at a nominal cost. The
prescription will be found in most any
drug store in the United States under
the l?bel bloodine. In a recent intro
ductory sa!e in a city of New York,
more than 20,000 bottles were sold in
a single week.
I am so confident that Bloodine will
cure anyone afflicted with catarrh that
I will gladly supply it to any patient on
a positive guarantee to cure, or money
will be as cheerfully refunded as it it
taken. If your druggist does not keep
Bloodine you can be supplied by The
Bloodine Laboratories, Boston, Mass..
