CLASS HISTORY AKD CLASS PROPHECY. - Of tli Concord Graded School Read by Miss Mary Hartsell. The following is the Class History and Prophesy read at the recent com mencement by Miss Mary Hartsell i " As a representative of the class of 1911 it becomes my "pleasant duty, not only to- glance backward thro' the past decade and chronicle the im portant eventsin our school life but with a prophetic eye look through the vista of years and see what fate holds in store, for each member of the class. Recall with me a certain day in Sep tember 1900 and watch for a while the throng of children, hurrying from all parts of the city for the opening of the Fall session. Follow the youngest children to the first grade where Miss Mary Lewis Harris sways her sceptre of love and among the half hundred ruddy-faced bright-eyed, rosy cheeked boys and girls see if we can recognize any of today's class. Seven only who matriculated that day have continued faithful and are today among those who received their certificates of graduation yesterday. Those were halcyon days for us each brow opening unto us new beauties as we grew intellectually and when the time came that we could correctly sound c-a-t our happiness knew no bounds, so wise did we feel. Enter tainments at Thanksgiving and Wash ington birthday, were pleasaut occa sions for us when for the first time in the presence of invited fathers and mothers we recited and sang to their edification and delight. Then when the last day of school came, our heartaches and regrets at leaving our kind teacher were alleviated by the tell tale promotion card, giving us undoubted right of way to the second grade, and no student taking an A. B. degree at Harvard, Yale, Bryn Mawr - or Vassar was so proud as we. Each autumn as the leaves have changed their dresses of green for those of yellow and red for nine con secutive years we have turned our faces back to the old school balding for work and so quickly and pleasant ly has the time flown that before we were aware of it-'we are the senior of the school our fondest dreams 'be- . ing realised in the fall of 1909 when we entered tnaTTreMla of Miss but we have found that as we have climb ed the horizon has widened. Our requirements and responsibilities be ing greater and then, we are expected to uphold the dignity of the school by being dignified ourselves a lost , art -with some of, us. There have been changes in the personnel of our class until it is almost an entirely new class to the one registered ten years ago. During our school term important changes have been made in the ad ministration of the school "the old order changing to new." Three sup erintendents have served, Professors Coler, Thompson and Lentz, while the ancient inconvenient building has been replaced by a modern up-to-date one of which any city might be proud. In' adition a new building of conve nience and great architectural beauty has been builty at Forest Hill for the convenience of those residing in that district. Of the whole ten years of our school life none has been more .. pleasant than the past one. Prof. )Yebb has been all we could ask for as an instructor, kind, gentle and for bearing. He has overlooked our faults and given ug encouragement; we can never forget his goodness. Four most delightful ocasiona have interspersed our school work and given us rare pleasure. The first was a trip to . Charlotte under the chaperonage of . Prof, and Mrs. Webb to aee "Mac beh." What a good time we had in this historic place. At Easter we were ; guests of Prof, and Mrs. Webb, at their home on Corbin street, and how " thoroughly delightful the- occasion - proved. Tha pleasure flew thick' and (fast and we shall ever remember most ". pleasantly this evening in thia hospit able home. ; On t he 22nd of April we were honored at the annual Reception -' given by the ninth grade as a farewell tribute to. ns. This occasion was one of rarest enjoyment and the memory ' of each one who contributed to our ' pleasure and entertainment will linger forever. 0 No occasion of our school ' Jife was more interesting than the planting of our class tree. It is our ambition that it will grow into a mag- nificent magnolia ; that shall : spread joy and gladnessa aa welMor the pass- er-by, as for the children that may - assemble in its shade., . - When the present primary class - ehaU reach their graduation day we trust that thev may recall with oleas- ore our class of 1910 and we hope that " our tree on this happy occasion may furnish each a beautiful magnolia bnd that, by its purity, may suggest the " unfolding life of innocent childhood. The time has come when the 1910 class will e numbered no longer ; - among the band of hapy, light-hearted pupils that throng the halls f the C O. S. Our race has been run and " we must bid adieu, but we will ever - cherish and love the mother "who - found s weak, but made us strong - Now let us see what the future . holds in atore for us. Imagine that ' Jwenty year have passed and see the destiny of each one. One day as I sat alone -musing upon the past, a gen tle rap at my door aroused me from my reverie. A friend had come for me to make a tour of this earth in her aeroplane. I donned my wrap and en tered. Hardly had we started on our upward flight than I noticed our ma chine was being manned by Leroy Sapp, a friend of earlier days. I was not surprised to find him here for one of his chief characateristics of his youth was his speedy manner of doing things, and he was only sustaining "his childhood reputation. I noticed other passengers in the ae roplane and among them I saw a sty lishly dressed matron, tall and grace ful and whom I soon recognized as my school friend, Helen Arehey. How glad I was to see her I She told me of how her heart had been won by one of New York's wealthiest sons and gave me a description of her brown stone palace in the great metropolis, the admiration of all who saw it. La ter I learned she was reigning queen in the 400. - Our first stop was in Washington and as we tended our way through the city we hesitated for a moment at the door of a building around which was gathered an interested crowd, each one waiting his turn to enter. What was the attraction f Mlo. O. Z. May, the celebrated palmist, was on the in side and ber wonderful revelations as to future deatiniee- was moving the world and attracting persons from all parts of the globe. A stopover for the night and my friend suggested that we go- to the leading theatre in the city. A p -pu-lar play was on and the house was crowded. Finaly the curtain rose and as the players came forward and told the story interest increased. Sudden ly amid dazzling lights, beautiful scen ery And glimmering sheen the leading lady, who was no other than Mary Hill, appeared and such an outburst of applaufee as greeted her. We felt that her dreams had come true. On one of tho beautiful residence streets of the city we find two homes identi cally alike, so beautiful are they that at once we inquire whose are they. The answer came, Mrs. Smith, - nee Edna C. Campbell and Mrs. Jones, nee Elizabeth Woodhovse. Tho Da mon afrit Pythias of bur class "who af ter graduation from Converse became noted suffragettes but seeing the er ror of their way yielded to the en treaties, cf faithful cuitors and in stead of wanting to govern the na tion became most excellent rujeis of well " governed households. On to New York we go and find Wall street in a state of commotion over the speculation- of one Lee Roy Scott who we always know had a weakness for making money. In an adjoining block the leading market of the city has as the manager Charles Graeber. There in conversa tion with his brother and associated with him we find George Graeber. In Havana, Cuba, we And an audi ence of ladies sitting in the auditorium of a magnificent building. We find that this is the Query University founded by Margaret Query, of C. G. S. fame and that the audience is en tranced by her words of wisdom. Some of the faculty are of especial interest to us if or Daisy Iippard has" charge of the French, Margaret Russell is Bi ble teacher, while Prof. Soger Fink is successfully teaching Geometry. The Sabbath dawns bright and beau tiful; as we journey along a church comes into view and seeing a crowd assembled .we stop and join them in their worship. Who is this tall hand some pastor who is holding his audi ence spellbound f His face is familiar where have we seen him before T Why .of course we know him, it ia Edwin tBrower an old friend and class mate who ia doing so much good in the world and who is in the race for bishop. Edwin tells us that the other church in the city has for its pastor Rev. A. whose wife was Adele Pem berton, always .kind, loving and thoughtful.- Adele is a model minis ter's wife and ia greatly beloved wherever known.' - '- - In a hospital in a large city on our trip we see standing beside a single cot a figure elothed in black ' and crowned with a mass of dark hair. We note her gentle expression, she ia re ceiving a wealth of gratitude from the sick one whom she has relieved. - The scene is nothing unusual for Dr. Min nie Utley is known far and near for wisdom and prudence in. the healing art.. .As the doctor enters from the room our attention is directed to the nurse who arayed in white eap and" suit ministers eo kindly to tlje wants of the suffering and in the soft glow of the faint light we recognise the un mistakable features of Mary Propet. William Sherrill. our class orator has won for himself fame as a -distinguished jurist. William would have been president had he not been a democrat.- A large atone dwelling radiant with electric lights is presented to our view and before it stands onr orator with a fair girl by his side. He speaks to her" Will yon reim queen of that home and my heartt" and by her smile we see she has decided to east her Lott with hi. Having been Imbued with tha mis sionary spirit from their earliest childhood we are not surprised to know that Novella and Willie May have answered tha rail to the foreign field and are faithful missionaries. What coull we expect Alexander Viola to be other than a celebrated violinist, the equal of a Paganini for has be not been filled with musie all bis life. The trip ended the machines come again to my door and again I enter to enjoy my spinsterhood with those 1 love. THE COMMENCEMENT AT MOUNT PLEASANT.

On First Trial He Waa Awarded $250 Damages for Being Injured by Rail road. The case of P. M. Byrd vs. The North Carolina Railroad Co. was con cluded Saturday at noon and after about eight hours deliberation they rendered a verdict iwarding $3,500 damages to the plaintiff. This case was tried, here about a year ago and thfe'jury awarded Byrd $250 damages, which verdict was set aside by Judge Council, who was then presiding. Thfcre were four attorneys represent ing the plaintiff: Messrs. Geo. W. Gar land, of Salisbury, Montgomery & Crowell, of this city, and E. T. Cans ler, of Charlotte. Messrs. L. T. Hartsell, of this city, and L. C. Cald well, of Statesville, represented the defendant company. Byrd was injured about two years agi while in the employment of the Southern as yard master at Spencer. He was riding on the top of a car whiih was of a long chain of cars, re-aiiigtixr- two engines to pull them. Byrd alleged at the trial that one of the nupling9 of one ear was broken, cauftng 'the train, to be divided, and while riding on the top of the car and signalling the engineer the other sec tion of the train ran into his, knock ing him off the car and causing him to be injured internally. This was one' of the hardest fought oases that has been tried in Cabarrus fof several years. Attorneys on oth sides fought every point to a bitter end taking up three full days in the trial. Death of Mr. Charley Fink. Mr. John Charles Fink, an aged and most -highly respected citizen of No. 8 township, died last Saturday after an illness of some time. Mr. Fink was 82 years of age May 6.

Pleasant. The burial took place in t lie Methodist cemetery at Mt. Pleas ant yesterday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock, the services being conducted m the church by his pastor, itev. N. R. Richardson.

The following is taken from the ac count in the New York Herald of the pathfinders trip through this section, by W. T. McLean, representative of the Herald, wlio was a member of the party : The roads all the way from Lexing ton to Charlotte are in excellent con dition and men are at work trying to still further improve them before the coming of the Herald-Journal tour. For the first time, since it left Virginia the pathfinder passed a toll bridge to day, at which a fee of twenty-five cents is charged. This is at the en trance to a bridge over the Yadkin River and is a short ride from the cab in of North Carolina's famous hunter and Indian fighter, Daniel Boone. Between 'Lexington and Concord there is a splendid macadam road, the best that has been ridden over since the pathfinder left the Shenandoah Valley. Over this road it was possi ble to make fifty miles an hour at times, and, thanks to the good judg ment of the Road Commissioners, it is free of "thank you, ma'ams," or ridges. At Concord, where a stop of ten minutes was made, the scouts were cordially greted by Dr. W. D. Pem berton, Dr. R. M. King, chairman of the lown Stret Commission, and Mr L. W. Brander, president of the Uni ted Citizens' Club, of Concord. "Our roads will be aa good as any the Herald-Journal tourists will ride over," said Dr. King, "and we should like very much to Lave the Herald and Journal decide to make our town either a day or night control." "If you will," said Mr. Brander, "we will do our best to entertain the tourists. We will serve them with lunch and declare a holiday on the day the tourists pass through here." Last year all of the cotton factories ill Concord and vicinity closed during the passage of the tourists through Concord, and thousands of persons crowded the roadsides and cheered them as they swept by. Concord, with a population of 12, 000, is right in the centre of one of the greatest cotton manufacturing sections of the United States, and one of the things Mr. Brander and his fel low citizens would appreciate would be the privilege of showing the tour ists through some of the big cotton mills. Mr. J. T. Correll, who lives on Mr. Ed Lipe's place a short distance from the city was here Saturday afternoon and brought to this office a sprig of red clover with seven full grown leaves. The leaves are small but fully grown. If it contained one more leaf we would present it to Col. Wade H. Harris, for the Chronicle. The most stones are thrown at the tree with the ripest fruit.
