. IL Tucker, a white man about
3,) years of xe, and a painter' by
trade, was shot from' ambush and in
xtaii' l.v killed at the corner of East
Maiket and Percy . streets at about
10:80 o'clock last night. Three men,
two negroes and one white, were seen
mailing out East Market street sev
eral blocks distant at a time which
coincided with the shooting. Not
withstanding Tucker was shot down
in the full glare of an electric light,
and in a district in which many peo
ple were astir, the police could find
no one who actually witnessed any
part of the tragedy. A negro phoned
the alarm to J police headquarters.
People about the corpse, when the of-
- fleers arrived said the man was dead
when they reached him. All declared
that they san-: noMUie running, and

, Mr. Editor: All during tba year
your paper aas earned the honor roll
of thia school, and this . roll -would
show anyone, who kept apwith" it,
that tho school was doing good work.
Each month aoase four or five pupils
were reported aa aotag tardy or
absent ' daring the montlu" At the
elosing Tuesday one little Neshit boy
waa presented aa.havins- been present
every day during the fire; months
term. Several others wre: -absent
only one or two days, thn the eause
of the absence, was sicknew. .One
would naturally expect good results
from a school where regular' attend
ance of the pupils was ; the pride of
tnoso enrolled. . Those who bad an
opportunity f -.-witnessing the clos
ing exersiaea Tuesday were further
convinced from tba character of the
exercises presented that .- a' . good
school hal,beea maintained and that
the school 'spirit waa Jighly: develop
ed in the ' community .
The fathers and mothers were pres
ent to witness tb efforts of the chil
dren. ; One -visitor1, present; remarked
that he had; never been more highly
entertained at an exercise of this
kind.. The exercises . consisted of
songs, dialogue, declamations and
the repeating of i several psalms by
the school. ' ''--
A duet bp Marvin Cook, a grand
son of T. L. Bost, and Ellie Russell,
a daughter, of James Russell, was a
number on the programme that de
serves special mention. These chil
dren are not, over 10 years of age
but their singing was the delight of
the- audience.
Master Cook isnaw- also a solo in
the chorus of which the whole school
joined. This, too, Jttlkd forth much
pplause.
Every one of the numbers on the
programme , was wcu . rendered, A t
the conclusion ofv the school's part
in the programme, ttey. T. W. Smith
nd Supt. Boger made short ad

All present enjoyed the evening
thoroughly and went 'away feeling
that no one can estimate the influ

Sunday School Association Interests.
There are two matters which we
wish to call to the attention of our
Sunday Schools:
First. It is verv important that
the territory of such school should
be thoroughly covered, in search of
those who do not attend, and effective
measures taken to inteiest them and
brinr them into Sunday School. To
this we urne the attention of town
ship vice-presidents, ajid tlve sup
erintendents of Suiirlav Schools: Let
each take told with renewed energv,
and see- that a thorough canvass is
made within vonr sphere, and nr-
anized method of fultilliii" vour
Lord's command, "do into the
highways and hedges and compel
them to come in."
Second. The State Sundav School
convention meets in Greensboro the
2llrd of April, and each township
may have two delegates, and each
Sunday School may have a delegate.
The delegates may be from any town
ship or school. We suggest that any
member of a Sundav School in the
ouuty who will attend, inform either
of the undersigned at once, and the
names will be sent to the committee
at Gicensboro. This will be a profit
able occasion for earnest Sunday
School workers, and we hope for a
good delegation torm. .Cabarrus.
DHiraox -penoojg wisiiijr
resented should see to the appoint
ment of a delegate. It1 would be
well , for superintendents to attend
the. Convention and get new views of
their great work.

f GROWTH 1
'. Have you ever watched a
4'child grow from infancy to
maturity T It requires patience
and perseverance on" the part
of some one during those long
. years, aa it does with every-:

The person who says, "1

-:- away $1.00 each week, it takes
. too lung to amount to any
thing," or "I am not going to
try to pay for a home, it takes

"I am not going to bother with
this child, it takes too Song to

. We cannot get away from
.the fact of "small beginnings

man or woman who begins put
