A Big Day in BRYAN.

BRYAN COURT HOUSE, Sept. DO
day, at this place, about five or six hun
dred people assembled to attend Il Ma
sonic picnic. Your correspondent, in
company with Hon. Il. E. Lester. the
orator of the day, left the city on the : a.
IN. train, and reached the place at II
o'clock. The Masonic Hall and court
house were too small to accommodate the
vast audience. Colonel Lester spoke from
a stand erected under a large oak. He
was introduced by Captain 5. D. Brad
well, OF Liberty. Colonel Lester told the
audience that he had come there to cham
piOn no new faith, but to speak of the
principles Of Masonry, which never
changed. His address lasted about three
quarters Of an hour, and was certainly
one of the finest efforts of his life. The
lodge at this place Is in most flOurishing
condition. and from the wholesome speech
of Colonel Lester il is bound to flourish.
There were a great many long tables,
which were loaded with all the GOOD
things 10 satisfy the inner man.
The committee spared no pains to make
all present comfortable. The dav being
very warm ice water and lemonade We're
in great demand. Mrs. julius Smith.
Mrs. Morgan, Mrs. Dukes and other
ladies were very active in seeing that
every one was well cared for and the
gathering will be long remembered by all
present as one Of the most pleasant pic
mics Bryan county ever enjoyed.
Long life to the good MasOns and citi-
zels of Bryan county. W.

An Electric Gun.
Electrical JaurndE.

Colonel FOsbery created sensation at
lecture he recently gave TO an assembly
-ot ofhcers, small-arm inventors and other
experts at the Royal United Service In
stitution, by suddenly withdrawing from
its place of hiding, under the table, a
wonderful new gun, which he had lust.
brought from Liege. He called it a ssbabv
electric gum" 1t looked like a pretty
carbine, but it had no mechanism and
could not possibly go off until connected
up TO the source of electric force.
This done, It could be fired with
amazing Fapidity, l04 rounds having,
few days before been fired from it by its
inventor, VI. Pieper, of Liege, in two
minutes. Col. Fosbery fired two rounds
with infnitessimal powder charges. He
had prepared himself by secreting nnder
his vest a small circuit of wire and mt
ting on a haadeTOle, supporting what
looked like twO-0unce vial, but was i'm
faef an electric accumulator, with sniff
client stored-up energy to discharge 2.0O0
pounds. The cartridges were innOcent
looking mites, and containing no detona-
tihg substances, nothing in fact but
simple poYder and wad. The opinion
was expressed by various speakers that
the electric gun must once more revolu-
uonlze the manufacture of small arms
within brief period.

a Secret Session.

a Secret Session.
COLUMBUS, Sept. 5.-The Democratic
State Central Committee were in secret
session from an early hour last evening to
1920 O'Clock this morning discussing mat
ters pertaining to the campaign. They
decline to make any statement regarding
the business under consideration. A fea-
ture of the meeting was a wOrdy encOun-
ter between Chairman d. r. Paige and
the correspondent of the Commercial Ga
sette OF Cincinnati concerning an item in
that paper to the effect that Mr.. Hoadly
would withdraw from the ticket. All the
members of the committee deny the truth
of this report.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 5.-An effort was
made to see Judge HOadly here to-day
with regard to the statement published
that he would withdraw from the Demo-
cratic ticket in Ohio, but he could not be
seen. His physician, DR.. Bartholomew,
was then called upon, and he said with en-
phasis: at is right and proper that such a
statement should be promptly contra
dicted. l should like for you to say that
Judge HOadly is a candidate for the Gov
ernOrship of Ohio, and that he will resume
his canvass in a short time. just as soon
as | consider that he is equal to the eXer-
ton, he will actively re-enter the fight"

Prosperity of a United People.

BOsTON, Sept. 5.-The opening exer-
cises Of the American Exposition of the
Manufacturers and Mechanics Institute
took place to-day. The exercises were
held in the hall, at the north end of the
building, in the presence of large num-
Der Of invited guests. 1t was 1915 O'Clock
before GOV. Butler entered upon the plat
form, followed by his staff and the guests
Of the occasion. Among the party were
Secretary Chandler. Lieutenant Governor

governments. The exercises began with
prayer by Rev. Edward Everett Hale.

livered the opening address. This was
followed by speeches from Secretary
Chandler, Judge Symmes, of Denver.
Governor Jarvis, Of North Carolina, Julia
Ward Howe, and others, and an Grafton
by General Francis A. Walker. Governor
Jarvis, in responding for the South to
Governor Buffers welcome, said that he
came not to shake hands over the bloody
chasm, but to clasp hands with
New England over the growing
prosperity of united people, The differ

into the Union. They came pledged to
loyalty, but under the reconstruction pol
icy adopted by Congress found their State
and county governments in the hands of
persons who did not serve the interests
Ofthe sections in which they lived. This
was what made the South solid. Not ha-
tired of the government, but desire for
wise laws, justly administered. The de-
velopment of the South had been con-
fined mostly to the past ten years. In
North Carolina over twenty new cotton
factories had been erected, and factories
in wood and iron were improving, and all
over North Carolina to-day there was
a spirit of contentment. ''Our business
and the public interests" he said 'sre-
quire that there shall be no more harsh
speaking of one section by another. 81
bid you to join me in this sentiment. 'Our
united country, to thee we cling"
Mayor Palmer was the last speaker.
and at the end of his remarks, the Gov
ernOr formally declared the Exposition
open. The exhibits are far from being
perfected. Much space on the main floor
is still vacant, and many of the exhibits
are incomplete. North Carolina makes
the largest exhibits of any single State
outside Of Massachusetts.

We had refreshing rains here few
