uJDGE CLARK'S GRAFTON AT
SMITHFIELD.
Masonry Had It's Origin in the Federation
of Laboring Men--The Evil OF
Accumulated wealth.
S~MITHFIELD, n, e.

SNITHFIELD, n. \.
Saturday, July 18th, was the day
upon which the newly elected officers
of Fellowship Lodge, No. 81, y. +. q
A. NJ. were installed. The ceremonies
were public and Judge Walter Clark;
of Raleigh. was present and delivered
a most entertaining address. lie was
introduced by Mr.. E. w. POu, Jr. VINO
said that Judge Clark was perhaps as
widely known as any man III 4EOiUII
Carolina. while on the Dencll OL CH6
Superior Court he had VlSlUe4 many
counties and everywhere was HeIG III
high esteem. Whether we saw MN
as the fOurteen-year OLD SOldlef Q
going forth TO fight tor North caro-
Iin3'S honor. as the faithful citizen, as
the impartial Judge, or as the loyal
mason we always found him true to
every trust and to the interest OF the
people Of North Carolina.
Judge Clark thanked the people for
manifestations of kind feelings to him
in the past, said that he had visited
many counties in the State and no
where had seen greater signs OF per
manent prosperity than IN johnston
county. 1t was a county, of which its
citizens might well be proud. He
then gave a running review of what
is supposed to be the origin Of Masonry,
and told Ofthe great good the order a
ACCOMPLISHED. 1t was an order With
which no man could justly find fault.
1t looked to the Bible as the sourse OF
light. It was the central object IN
every lodge, even as the sun Is the
central light in the great solar Sys-
tenn. 1t had not distinguished between
creeds: a man was only required to put
his trust in God, to obey the laws OF
the country and to fulfill the mission
of a good citizen. A man must be q
good citizen who is a good Mason.
Judge Clark said that masOns as
lOyaI conservative citizens of this great
Union must take notice of the common
wrong which all our people are suffer
inc. He then dwelt at some length
upon the vast accumulatlOnS Of wealth.
Something was wrong. Masonry dig
nified labor. 1t had its origin in the
federation of labOring men,. 1t was
the friend of labor, but to-day we
must admit that the opportunities of
the men who till the soil and who
labor to live far less than eVer before.
He said that q great conflict was 10Y
upon the people of the nation. Men
must show where they stood. There
could be no neutral position. The
cause Of the people in the end would
win. Judge Clark closed by express
ing his fidelity to the of the
people of North Carolina. He closed
with the beautiful quotation from
Ruth, the words that Ruth spoke to
Naomi.
Judge CIarks address was highly APP
preciated. It was a n~on-partisan, dis
passionate, statesmanlike discussion
of the situation.

Truly American.

Leonard Jerome's three big, pretty
daughters, somewhat to his grief,
chose Englishmen for husbands, and,
though he lived abroad during the
latter years of his life, he remained
independent and a good American to
the end. In fact, he never acknowl-
edged Lady Randolph Churchin's
title, and the first visit he paid her
after her marriage he astonished the
turnkey at the door by asking for
Mrs. Churchill.
The cockney footman at first
seemed inclined to throw the tall,
amused-looking American down the
steps, and, holding the door halfway
open, announced, Indignantly, that
~Er leddyship is at 'Ome, but not to
the likes of you"
Whereupon Jerome smiled gently,
reached in the doorway and, by a
twist of his long, strong hand on the
back of the fOOtman's coat-collar,
twisted him round like a top.
Now" said he, ego tell Mrs.
Churchill that her daddy is down
here in the parlor and wants to see
her, and I'll stand in the doorway
and see just how fast your calves can
carry you up those steps"

THE officers and members of the
Western Society of Engineers are fool
ish in protesting against the erection
of tower by NJ. Eiffel at the Worlds
Exposition. They oppose it on the
ground that American engineers are
quite as competent as the Frenchman
to put up a tower, and that they
should not be ignored in favor of for
eign talent. But a strong point
against them is the important fact
that NJ. Eiffel has already demon
strated his competency as a tower
builder, while they never have Many
Of them might, perhaps, successfully

UNIQUE SURGICAL FEAT.
The Rib ExtraetiHE Process Repeated by
Topeka Surgeon.

The Rib ExtraetiEg Process Repeated by
Topeka Surgeon.
A very interesting surgical operation was
performed by DIR. ROby on Thursday last,
which is second on record. The first case is
recorded IN Genesis. The patient Was one
Adam, who, while IN Il somnolent state, had
a rib extracted from him. However he may
have subsequently regretted the use to which
the rib was put, when lie became a pomolOg-
ical sampler, he could not dispute the success
of the surgical operation as a mere oper-
alton. Last fall young lady from Wichita
called on DR.. Roby and exhibited TO hun a
most remarkable case OF abnormal growth.
Three of her ribs on the left side instead of
curVing comfortably inward and around, ac-
cording to the time-honored customs of all
rightly disposed ribs, warped outward. She
wanted the defect remedied, but the doctor
was disinclined TO undertake the job and she
returned to her home. This week she re-
turned again, and, stating that she was gong
to be married, asked the doctor TO use his
skill in her behalf. He did so, and removed
four inches of one RIB, three off another
and one inch OF the third. This reduced the
misshapen waist, ana the young lady Will in
a snort while be as strong as ever and more
smooth. She is about % years of age and a
bright, pleasant young woman.
