The class exercises last night completed the commencement pro gram of the Concord Public Schools aud the class. of 1910, twenty-two in number passed out into history. The exercises last night were con ducted entirely by the graduating class and the aiiditorium was crowded ' with people to witness the exercises by the graduates, and no one could re sist a feeling of pride when the dif ferent representatives ofr the class would complete their part of the pro gramme, and as they turned back to their seats with their last duty to their class and school performed they would be greeted with deafening ap plause by the audience, bvery one on the program performed his or her part in a manner that not only did credit to themselves but to the class and to the school. The exercises were begun with the class of 1910 singing "'Farewell to Our School." The President of the class, Miss Elizabeth Irwin Wood house, in a manner that showed the wisdom of her classmates In bestow ihg the highest honor otf their class upon her, then presented to the audi enee the class of 1910, Miss Mary Franois Hartsell read a paper, "The Class, Its Past and Future," which was thoroughly en joyed by every one. Miss-Hartsell traced the history of the class from the day they entered the first grade to the graduating day. 1 racing -their gradual growth through the different ..processes of development in their as- Vent toward graduation, recalling a number of event that had transpired during the years the class of 1910 had been on their journey toward reach ing the coveted goal where they now stood, recalled the pleasant memories that lingered with them of the social events tihey had attended together. Mr. William Montgomery Sherrill, class orator, delivered his oration, "The March to Appomattox." Mr. Sherrill 's speech showed that in him the class had found an -orator that was fuly capable of delivering anSr ation in keeping with the high stand ard of excellence the class had ac niured in all its undertakings. The next number on the program was the class Wem ty Misf-'Edna amm Campbell, class poet, which was well read, and which -breathed forth in verse the tender sentiments of the members of the class of 1910. "Henry W.Grady," a declamation, by Edwin Neil Brower, was delivered by liira in such way as to win the ad- miration of all, who heard it which showed a thorough preparation and was delivered in a forceful and direct manner that did credit both to him ..and his class. "The Last Will and Testament of the Class" by Miss Margaret Query, proved to' be a -most delightful legal instrument and at time wnen ane would read out some of the wills and 'bequeaths of the class they would be "followed by roars of laughter from the " audience. Miss Willie May Stratford present ed the class gift, a bust of Washing tori. In a few well chosen remarks sne expressea me regiei mi w by the class in leaving the school and also their desire to donate a gift that would keep alive the memory of the elns of 1910.

Unfavorable Report on Equal Bights for Women. Mr. R. M. Phillips, of the Greens boro News, who is in Ashevilie at tending the General Conference, among other things has the following in his paper today: , A resolution fixing next Friday" as the day for the election of bishops was voted down, the conference pre ferring to wait for the matter to come up regularly on the report of the committee on episcopacy. The Vanderbilt University question, which involves the principle of church control of church schools, continues to be the most absorbing matter be fore the conierence, and second only in interest to the election of bishops. The most able among the leaders are divided on this question, even the present members of the college of bishops not being united on it. Bishop Hendrix, in addressing the committee on education on the matter, strongly favors leaving the bishops of the church as advisory members of the board of trust, thues maintaining, he claims, the institution's character botli as a church and a national col' lege at the same time. Bishop Hoss is leading the contention that there should be a change and that the in stitution should 'be placed under the tull and absolute control of the church. A flood of memorials were present' ed and referred to the proper com mittees. One of notable interest was a memorial calling for a resident bish op on the Pacific coast. This pro duced quite a smile on the faces of the bishops seated on the platform, but it was impossible to get a glimpse of the effect on those who may be classed as near-bishops. It is not at all unlikely that some capable man will be willing to accept the respon sibility of a residence on the Pacific coast with the other duties of the high office, if the conference, in its wisdom so orders it. At a meeting of the committee on revisals, held tonight, the question of equal rights of the women with that of the laity was thoroughly debated and after a long discussion, by a vote of 17 to 6, the committee decided against the memorial presented .by the women, in which they asked for equal representation with the- men, and will report to the conference no- concurrence. A minority report will also be pre sented by the six gentlemen who voted in favor of the women. Bishop Honda, of the Methodist church of Japan, and fraternal dele gate to Metihmhst Episcopal church, South, Rev. M. Hon, and Rev. Y. Tanaka, two . native ministers, were introduced and took seats on the rostrum. i A resolntion providing for the change of the word "man" in the marriage ceremony to "husband" produced laughter. A resolution was introduced that the Sunday preceding Labor day be set aside (for sermons on labor sub jects; that each annual conference take necessary steps to secure the ob servance of that day. This is in ac cordance with a resolution of the American Federation of Labor. The resolution was referred to tfhe com mittee on temperance and other moral and social issues. The pulpits Sunday were filled by pastors attending the Southern Meth odist Conference, and "the centre of in terest was Central. Church, where Bishop A. W. Wilson, of Baltimore, oreached. Although toe la 77 years old, he preached with the vigor and pdwer of a man in mid-life. He charmed and swayed the vast congregation, and sobs and earnest responses were heard. At the close of the sermon the Bishop received an ovation, many pressing 'forward to clasp bis tiand md thank him for his sermon. Mr. Donghton Hare. Mr. Robert L. Donghton, of Alle ghany county, is in Concord today. Mr. JJougnton nas decided to al low his name to go before the conven tion for the nomination for Congress in this district, bnt be ls-nofl can didate in the sense that be will enter any scramble for the nomination.

At the opening of ihe court this morning a meeting of the members of the Concord bar was held out of re spect of the memory of the late Col Paul B. Means.

The season has advanced be yond the danger point from frost, cotton and corn are growing, cherries have ripened and peaches and apples are taking on size. The ifruit trees need to be bracing themselves against the load their limbs are going to be calledi- upon to bear, for fewer blos- some blew off unlimited than has been known in many years. The improved system of corn growing is to have its first real test this summer and the chanoe ire fHat Mecldenbrrrs-rwiH score a record crop. The cotton crop may be larger than usual.
