He then announced as fiis subject “The History of Cabarrus County in the Wars of the "United States."

In this connection he appealed for recognition of the Black Boys in the historical pageant to be presented in Charlotte May 20, 11)25 and declared that to leave the Black boys out would be like the play of ' Hamlet with Hamlet left out. He told the story of Captain Shire’s company 1 in' the Mexican war and of the one thou sand men sent out by Cabarrus in the 1 War Between the State. Following this beautiful music was given by Mesdames H. G. Gibson, Leslie ‘ Correll, Sara Goodman and S. K. Patter • son.
