Raleigh, N. c.:
MY Dear Sir Answering your
favor of recent date, in which you ask
me to give you for publication what
l know about the existence in North
Carolina Of an order known as the
Gideon Band" l would say, a,
Gatesville, in Gates county, in Decem-
Der, 1891, Mr.. S. Ohio Wilson, in the
presence of Mr.. James B. Brinson, oi
Pamlico county, District Lecturer for
the First District being then State
lecturer proposed to me that should
become member of the said order.
l replied to Mr.. Wilson that l could
not consent to connect myself with
the Band unless he would first reveal
to me the character and purpose OF the
order. This he consented to do upon
my promising secrecy. Mr.. Wilson
then read me the obligation which he
wished me to take, and outlined the
general objects and purposes of the
order.
The obligation was very rigid one,
and according to my best recollection
the penalty of disclosure of the secrets
of the order was death
The plan of organization was as
follows: A National Chief, State
Chief, District Chief and a County
Chief. The State Chief received his
orders from the National Chief, and
the County Chief from the District
Chief. The membership in each Con-
gressional District was 800, and in
each county, | think, no more than
80. This thirty were to be especi-
ally selected for their efficiency and
influence, true and tried men who
could be relied upon under all circum-
stances, in all meetings, etc.
1t was the duty of these chiefs and
members to obey and execute all or
ders emanating from their superiors.
Mr.. Wilson stated that the object of
the organization was to aid and pro-
mote the Reform movement. The
imitation fee was $500. This conver-
sation took place after Mr.. Wilson's S
return from the indianapolis Alliance
Council.
After Mr.. Wilson had revealed the
whole thing to me, told him l re-
garded the movement, as outlined by
him, as being very dangerous one,
and that thought it would result in
the destruction of the Alliance and
the defeat of the reform movement
then proposed, and l positively re-
fused to have anything to do with it.
Mr.. Wilson then burned in my pres
ence the obligation which he had read
to me, and pretended he was merely
considering the advisabillty of organiz-
ing the order, although l have since
learned he had initiated Mr.. NJ. L.
Reed, Of Buncombe, during the previous
August, and appointed him chief in

Notes on Scissors.

One needs many pairs of scissors.
and true economy consists in having "A
pair for each sort Of work. says Utrl-
u re. I'in cutting OF paper is very
trying 10 sliarpcnel steel. and pair
might tie kept for that. purpose. Long.
slonI = shears are mandy for general
use; du;t0nh,ic scissors could find Il
place in every work basket: pair Of
scissors for trimming lamps in the
kitchen is necessary where there is nc
gas; grape scissors for the table are
not altogether new; scissors to cnt
flowers i'll the country are convent
encc.
Few people carry pocket scissors Of
the folding sort. Those that do never
part with them. Convenient for
manicure use. to cut Il clipping from a
paper ut Il moments notice Il string.
etc. they answer almost every pur-
pose of the pocket knife and are much
more convenient TO handle. Give Il
person accustomed to their use knife
alid the pocket scissors and he will part
with the former first. No cutting blade
should be put in the fire. rs it will then
lose its temper. which is denoted by its
turning bue. Such knife or blade
will never keep its edge.
