Knights Of Homer.

just IL years ago this month tn ere
was organized a fraternal associa-
tic n, in the city Of Louisville, KY,
upon a plan that would combine
the best features of the various So
cieties already in operation, together
with such additional features as
would insure stability and growth
so steady that ultimately there
would be bound together fraterni
ty composed of the best element of
almost every community of the
whole country. This body is kaOwn
as the "Knights Of Honor" and to-
day composes membership Of 1913,
90, divided into So grand hodges
with $500 subordinate lodg es.
The growth of this order has been
phenomenal ana its charitable rec.
ord is probably without a para llel.
Its members have contributed to
the sufferers in every great dis astel
from its organization down to the
recent Johnstown horror. In addi
ton it has paid during this time 0.
yer 1927, 900 for death policies
alone. This organization is neither
a political nor religious society
} its membership is confined to NJ
profession, business or occupation

An Egregious Error.

When we returned from Fayette-
vile last week we were mortified
beyond expression to find our tele-
gram from Fayetteville so terribly
botched as to put us in most COM
promising situation before our read
ers. We Immediately wrote our
Fayetteville correspondent, the tai
ented young attorney, II. J.. Cook,
Esq, to go to the telegraph Office
and secure the copy Of our message,
filed in that Office, and have the OPP
orator to certify that it was the cor.
rect copy we handed him. This he
did, and the following is the tele,
gram, with the certification attach.

COUNTY TEACHERS INSTITUTE.
1t Closes After a Pleasant Session OF
five Days.

The Teachers Institute which
was in session at this place last week
under the management of Prof M.
c. s. Noble Of Wilmington and Co.
Supt. Royal, closed last Friday at
noon. During its session 1O1 names
were enrolled, most of whom re-
presented active teachers, and many
attended regularly whose names
were not enrolled.
On Wednesday night the Institute
was addressed on the subject "Publie
Schools and Teachers" by Mr.. E.
w. Kerr. We have heard many
compliments paid to Mr.. Kerr adj
dress. Rev. J. l.. Stewart delivered
a highly interesting and instr uctive
lecture on Thursday morning. On
Thursday night Rev. J. w. Turner
was to deliver a lecture on AstronO-
my, but heavy and continued down
pour of rain prevented.
Friday till noon was taken up in
lecturing Oil Arithmetic and Geogra-
ply by Prof. Noble. Map drawing
received special attention and some
practical suggestions given as to
how it should be taught to children.
The session of the Institute was a
decided success and our teachers are
fortunate in having secured the
services Of SO live, practical and
progressive an instruction as Prof.
Noble. He simply charmed our
teachers with his lectures on how to
teach the little folks and it was
regretted by them all that he could
not continue the session of the Insti.
tute longer.

Judge Payson is not satisfied with the op-
erations of the civil-service law, and be-
lieves that there should be radical changes.
He thinks the railway mail service under
the Arthur administration was the best

great mistake to extend the civil-seryice
laws to include the railway mail service.
He thinks man employed in the railway
postoffices should be brainy. honest and en-
ergetic, and that it is almost impossible to
ent laws. There is too much sentiment and
too little business ia it. and If carried on as
at present, il Will amount TO nothing less
than a civil pension list, he says.
