ESTABL1S1LKD 187 EASTER SUNDAY IN SALISBURY Clear Skies and Sunshine Are Fitting Accompaniment to Day's Joyous Spirit CHURCH SERVICES Elaborate Music at 1st Metho dist in Morning and Chil dren's Exercises at Night Easter morning dawned clear and bright and as the sun rose higher in the heavens it became apparent that the gentler sex could wear Its new thin dresses and light straw !hate wthout iear or favor and so there was a gor geous display of rainbow colors mak ing many a masculine heart beat fast ex under his new spring coat. In all the churches all of which were fin Ad to the doors. esDecial attention was paid to the origin of the day and ;the Resurrection was the theme of most of the sermons. The music was arranged for the occasion and In al :most every church was given more Tprominence than is usual. Excelling the rest in the elaborate- the Frst Methodist church, where It was unanimously, conceded by the im mense congregtlon to be the finest "Ester music ever heard in Salisbury The "four numbers presnted a series -of tonal pictures of the Resurrection, leading up to the Apotheosis, and was .a triumph of artiste conception. It -was the work of $Iiss Hattle Crawford who presided at the organ and brough forth such melody as has rarely been . - ... - Iveard. The . quartette consisted of Mrs. E. E. Kephart, soprano; Mrs. R. H. Matthews, contralto; James Ride- outte, bass and R, H.. Matthews, tenor, rand had been carefully trained so that their splendid voices were in the ut most harmony. It were Invidious to single out anjf of the quartette for specal mention as each contributed so much to the general delight, and It can only be said that tne soio oy mrs. Kephartj vwas a revelation eiven. to those who had previsously heard her full, rich soprano. "... . t r The programme: Anthem "Magdeline," George Wlliam Warren; the quartette. .Anthem "How Long Wilt Thou For get Me, Oh Lord?" Carl Pfluegger;. the quartette. Solo "The Three Visions," Mrs.' E.

The Children's Service At . night the Sunday school of the First Methodist church took posses son of the service for their Easter ex excises The church had been elabor ately and tastefully decorated by the : younger ladles of the congregation for Dotn morning ana evening services, with palms, potted plants, splrea, fleur de lys and hydrangeas and they serv f ed a double purpose, adding beauty and lmpresslveness to the exquisite music in the morning and making a u charming scene at night in combina :: tion with the fresh young faces of the j pupils of the school. The large audi- torium was packed and though extra t. seats were brought n. standing room was: at a premium. .With the excep- Hon .of congregational singing, pray .r and scripture reading by Dr. Rowe v. ad a' few remarks by Superintendent - Summersett the entire service was devoted to the children. As, the IHtle girls clad in whte, they marched back and-forth aong the flowers, they made c a series of -.Inspiring pictures, sym " bolic of the purity which the Easter .tlde always suggests.

Despite funeral eulogies, tombstone inscrip tions, kind words of sorrowing friends, if a man has not led a life which has sbeen a benefit to the world, at his death is the truth made manifest: Conversely, if he has led a godly, up right and sober life, it is none the less true that when thecurrent"of life has ebbed away, then the fullest real ization of his virtues comes to those left behind. Yesterday evening there gathered in the First Methodist church an as semblage of hundreds of people who, had come to pay the last honors to one whom they had loved. The church was crowded and every seat was fil led. There were present men and women of high and low degree. On the one side sat men of wealth, , of prominence, of public station, women of refinement, of culture, of all that the world holds in esteem. On the other side sat an equal number of those who, to serve some inscrutable purpose of Providence, have been ap pointed to serve.; And of all the as semblage, white or black, man or woman, there was not a head that was not bowed in sadness, not an eye that was not dimmed with grief. It was such a scene as is usually associat ed with the death of men who have held great position in the world of statecraft or of. finance yet it wasin honor of a man whose position had been humble, and whose skin was black. .-,v, . v ' "i- '"-" .,. V For eight and fifty years Henry rRaeves was sexton of the First Methodist churchy a record, as far , as is khown, unequaled in the United States, certainly unequalled in Norh Carolina. , Coming to the position as a boy of sixteen, he lived far beyond his allotted three score and ten, and in all that time, longer than nine tenths of .the human race lives, his life "was devoted to doing his duty as he saw it, and doing it well. And the faithfulness, the kind-heartedness of the man made him known and loved by all Salisbury. The peaitiQa of tex. ton was dignified by his incumbency For over half a century naught but illness ever kept him from his post nor is there a. record of his ever hav ing slighted his work or sulked over his task. . To the members of the church he was "Uncle Henry,'' scores knowing him by no other name. He was a member of the church and on occasion was asked to pray at cthe wekly prayer meetings. On the Sun days when communion was served, after the other members had partaken the aged sexton came forward and knelt alene to receive the bread and wine. A few weeks ago the old man was taken ill and it was known that he could not live. Somehow, the bell did not ring with Its usual sweetness,there was something missing from the services. On Saturday night, surround ed by his family, having been tenderly ministered unto by some of his white friends who had revered him from childhood, he passed into the Great Beyond. At the funeral' yesterday afternoon the Easter decorations still remained and the - casket was covered with flowers sent by members of the church An eloquent tribute was paid by Dr. Rowe, the pastor, who pointed out that there was an- nstance of the triumph of character. The Rev. Mr. Farrington, pastor of the Second Meth odist church, assisted at the services. The music was .especially arranged by Miss Hattle Crawford, and the choir, composed of Mrs. fi. IL Kephart, Mrs D. M. Miller,' and the Messrs Steven- MYSTERIOUS MURDER' IS,'; -x-i eOMMlf TED Young-Boy Shot tly Killed Sunday Night ' SHOT M HE WA8 MAKING THE ROUNDS No Solution of the Mystery lias Yet Been Discovered--Officers Working On the Case One of the most mysterious killings that ever occured In Salisbury is that of young Jack "ganup, the 13 year old son of James 'Canup. The boywas 'acting as night watch man at Rices lumber yard was shot while making his round 'at 10 o'clock. SeVeral theroies have been advanc ed bukthe mystery is as deeply, shroud ed now as it was at the time of the shooting. ' The sound of the pistol shot awoke the. boy's, father who was asleep near by and who upon going out to what the trouble was,1 found his son lying in a pool of blood. -The , bullet entered the right eye and penetrated he brain; and death was instantaneous. About the only theory that is given credence is that some r one was in. hiding in one ; of the buildings and when the boy appeared with the light was afraid of . detection and. shot to save himself. TWO MORE LAWYERS Retained in the. Grubb Case Which Will be Called May 10. I T. F. Hudsn and Whitenead Kluttz have been added to, the council for the defense in the Grubb case. v This case will come up May 10 .and will, take several days to dispose of it- ..' Grubb has retained some of the best lawyers in the state and a legal bat tle, such as is seldom seen in the Rowan County Court house, will be fought. son and McCorkle, sang the anthem "In Heavenly Love Abiding," impres sive and spiritual part of the sad service. The pall-bearers were the stewards of the church he had loved and served, and as they took the in animate clay which had been Henry Reeves out from the aisle, sobs were heard from many a member. He had asked that he might be buried from the church, but it is doubtful if the simple hearted, kindlj man etef thought that his death would make so wde a gap be geeted with so much sorrow. Hosts of mourners accompanl ed the body, to the grave, where the remains were lowered into their last resting place. La Rochefaucauld once said, on the death of a friend, "Now he knows the great mystery," and this knowledge has come to Henry Reeves. Dust may have gone to dust, ashes to ashes, but his spirit is with the -God who give it All who knew Henr Reeves know also that when be comes. be fore the Great White Throne Into the presence of Him who knows not race nor sect, creed nor "color, with his earthly body left behind and his pure iiimself among those for whom are the many mansions. Down .. and In Another theory is that some pne was shooting promiscuously and that a random shot struck the hvl That some cowardly ruffian was the perpatiafon of this deed and that he cua it wun xuii indent to lull is not doubted for a moment. All steps In the power of the proper authorities should be taken tobrlng the guilty party to justice. It Is reported that a white man by the name of Chas. Smith, overheard & negro who was on a switch engine standing near the plant say that he had a gun and was going to kill some d- white man before morning. He did not know who the negro was however and is therefore unable to identify him. - The strangest thing about it is that the 'blood hounds carried "there could scent no trail at all. ' The whole thing Is a deep mystery and may never be solved. BEAUTIFUL ' , SUNDAY SERVICE The Easter services at the Ltuheran church Sunday night was among the --r . . best that has ever been in the city. The church was beautifully decorat- ed in white and a profusion of gowejs - i and the programme irranged for the evening was excellent. Each part of the programme was exceedingly good and the manner in which it was carried out was surpas sing beauty. Everything about .the evening ser vice was of the highest order and those who arranged these services are to be commended for the excellence. The congregation were highly ap predatve and greatly enjoyed the services. Following is the programme: Voluntary. ' Song of Welcome The School. " Prayer Rev. Boo&er. Anthem Choir .
