Grand Master Gordon Discusses the Plan
Of the Odd Fellows.

Especial Cor STATE CHEoNICLE.l
At the late session OF the Grand Lodge
of the Independent Odd Fellows, held in
the city of Greensboro in May last, very
decisive measures were taken looking to
the establishment of an Orphan Asylum
in North Carolina, u der the auspicPs of
the said Grand Lodge. | am happy i'll the
belief that this order is fully alive to this
great interest. and that 1t is only a ques-
tion of time as to its institution. AS your
readers know the status OF Odd fellowship,
financially considered, is not that of great
wealth. Were such IFS condition there
would be no delay in the premises, for as
member OF said grand body | never saw
greater enthusiasm or lnteGSer interest,
than was manifested On the mere mention
of the matter prOspectvely. We are ready
to do ali III our power both as a body and
As individuals to help the unfortunate
children Of our State. Help the ne, dy
and rescue the perishing is "a fundamental
stone in our structure The great ques
ton with us is, What is the best means to
be employed for the accomplishment of
the end in view was no little interested
in the recent article of Col. Beasley, which
appeared in the CHRONICLE few weeks ago.
He is proverbially known in our section of
the State as the orphans friend | do
most heartily concur with him in the plan
suggested; but as l read the said article
several inquiries suggested themselves to
my mind; viz.
Are the Odd Fellows of North Carolina
able of themselves to execute the plan9
If not, from what source eau they reason
ably hope for neeied aid! The Oxford
Orphan ~ ylum, now under the auspices
of the Ma>ons is a fixed tact, and backed
by an annual appropriation of $4,000.
Will the Legislature of North Carolina
| give us the necessary aid: In other words
| will it allow sum sufficient to place us
in an attitude to educate the male orphans
of North Carolina. Will the people rally
to our support! Last but not least will
the Press lend us its aid9 The wisdom OF
separation of the boys and girls in their
training seems to me apparent, especially
does it so appear since conversing with
Col. Beasley on the subject. Let me say
this Mr. Editor in conclusion: The Order
of Odd Fellows IN North Carolina stands
ready at all times to do her part in this
good work j. H. GORDON.

employ your time 'frying the fat" out of
the manufacturers who are s'chiefly bene-
fitted by Protective tariff.
Third.-We have must decline % give
you voluntary contribution We do
not engage in protected industry-there
is no fiat in us and if you can fry it
out you will succeed better than we have
been able to do. We run a newspaper.
The government does not protect US, but
allows newspapers printed with ''the pau
per labor Of Europe to come in free.
Most of our patrons are farmers and me-
chanics. They are not protected. Every
thing the farmer buys he has to pay
tariff tax upon and everything he has to
sell Is sold in the free trade market of the
world. The mechanic has only his skill
and brain and muscle. EVerytime he buys
tool to use or buy clothes for his family
he is taxed, but laborers from all the
''pauper labor countries of the world are
allowed to come in without limit to com
pete with him. If we were to contribute
to your league or help to advance its
principles we would be untrue to the great
body Of our people-the farmers and the
mechanics. We would help Mr.. Carnegie
and other millionaires, but we must de-
cline to betray the many who need in order
to help the few who have an abundance.
Fourth.-We disagree with you. We
think that we can make "a better invest
ment than a subscription to the League, ="
and what little we can afford to contribute
to the campaign fund will be cheerfully
given to the Democratic Committee, and
for putting the truth concerning Tariff
taxation into the hands of long deceived
and long burdened people. We advise
you To send your litl,e circular to those
who are ''chiefy benefited. Fry the
fat out of them.

CAN A MAN BUY HIS OWN
WIFE.

The QUESTION DECIDED BY THE sUs
PREME COURT OF MASSACHUSETTS.
The singular question of aCan a
man buy his own wife?" was submit
ed the other day to the Supreme
Court of Massachusetts. The circum.
stances of the case are very curious.
A woman who had been ill-treated
by her husband and had left him,
and was suing for a divorce aud ali
mony, consented to a proposal TO re-
turn and live with him as his wife on
hls putting in the hands Of trustee
a note for $1,000 payable to her aft, r
TIE death OF her husband. Shortly
after the carrying out of this agree
ment the husband died, whereupon
his executors refused to pay the note,
on the ground that there was no
valid consideration in law. The court
decided against the widow, giving as
reasons shat to give a man the fels
lowship of communion of a wife is not
service which the wife can sell or
the husband buy. Perhaps a husband
can hire his wife to do anything for
him which servant can be hired to
do, or can buy of her anything that
is the subject to barter; but servant
cannot be hired to fill the relation,
aud the fellowship of wife is not au
articsle of trade between husband
and wife," 1t seems that the courts
are not agreed on this construction Of
the law, as similar bargain 70 the
one under notice has been held good
by the New York Court of Appeals.
