FEDERAL COURT REMOVAL.
Congress Not Expected to Take Ac
tion at This Session.

Congress Not Expected to Take Ac-
tion at This Session.
The Committee sent to Washington
from Greensboro to oppose the move
ment looking to the removal OF the
Federal court from Greensboro to
Winston, has returned.
The Committee appeared before the
Fl ouse Judiciary Committee April
27. A bill to effect the removal OF
the court was introduced by Repre-
sentative Linney, and is now pending
before the Judiciary Committee.
Representative Kitchin, who was
present, and prepared to oppose the
change contemplated in the bill, was
requested by the chairman OF the
committee, General Henderson, to
address a letter to the committee,
giving his reasons against the removal
Of the court.
In favor of his bill. Representative
Linney said that nine tenths OF the
criminal and civil business of the
court was furnished by the counties
west OF Greensboro, and the witnesses
and litigants in those counties were
now compelled to attend court at
Greensboro at great Inconvenience to
them and at great expense to the
United States.
Wilkes county, he said, was big
enough for State, and furnished 153
of the 200 cases on the court docket.
The House Committee requested a
statement from theClerk of the Court,
showing the civil business of the
court by counties. 1t is not probable
that any decision in the matter will
be reached at this session of Congress.

WILL ORGANIZE AT ONCE.
A Colored Military Company-Rev.H III
Durham at the Head.

Rev. H. Durham has decided to
organize colored Military Company
at once. He served for five years in
the 25th infantry, stationed in North
Dakota. He received his discharge
eight years ago and returned to North
Carolina when he entered Livingstone
College at Salisbury, spending four
years there. A present he is doing
successful mercantile business.
AS soon as his Company is organized
he will tender his services to either
the President or Governor. He thinks
he will have no trouble in securing
sufficient number of men.
Rev. Durham will select for his
First Lieutenant w. II. T. Powell who
has served three years in the U.
S Navy. He recommends DR. w Z.
Fuller, of this city, for Regimentdl Sur
geon. Both are good men for the
places to which, it is hoped, they
will be assigned
The Washington Post says: "Iu
the South it is hoped to raise several
regiments Of volunteer colCred troops,
who would be especially well fitted for
warfare in Cuba" That's the ticket
Fall in, colored troops
The colored people OF Wilson have
organized a volunteer Company Of
thirty y-five, with S. H Wick captain.
The number will be increased.

THE ODD FELLOWS.
A Practical and Instructive Address
by p. G. NJ. msden, of Raleigh.
10th Anniversary Celebration


The celebration last week Of the
10th Anniversary Of Odd Fellows Yas
attended by number Of members OF
the Order and their friends. The feat
OF the occasion was an address by Mr.
Chas. f. Lumsden, of Raleigh, Past
Grand Master of tire Grand Lodge of
North Carolina. His address was in,
structive, practical and well received.
ReY. j. w. Frank delivered the ad-
dress OF welcome and introduced the
speaker, who, in his introductory re-
marks said: Il feel doubly honored
this evening First, IN being invited
to address this intelligent audience,
composed OF the good people of one of
Carolina's best cities and the Chief
Metropolis Of this beautiful Pied
mont section. For no where in this
broad land should the seeds of genuine
fraternity more readily germiuate
and yield larger or healthier growth
than in the hearts Of this people" The
speaker said Odd Fellowship is today
the greatest fraJernal society on
earth. Its greatness consists in the
magnitude Of its membership, its
Jurisdiction. its methods of operation,
its financial ability and its fraternal
influence. Over million white souls
compose its roster. More than 900, 900
male members, while the remainder
is made up of the Sisters belonging to
Rebeccah lodges
The orders Jurisdiction, methods of
operation, financial ability and frater-
nal Influence, were all interestly dis
cussed by Mr. Lumsden.

Fighters and Leaders.
rom the Statesville Mascot.

From the Statesville Mascot.
North Carolina in the civil war furnished
more troops to the Confederate army than
any other State, while Virginia furnished
most of the generals. 1t was Tarheel blood
that flowed freest upon those Virginia fields
upon which Virginia generals won 1mper-
ishable glory. 1t was largely North Caro-
lima privates who made that glory possible.
We would not pluck a single laurel from the
brows of those kingly leaders of men whom
the Old Dominion furnished to the lost
cause, but it would be simple justice and
right that in the present war North Caro-
linians should lead North Carolinians. Not
withstanding the inborn modesty of the
sons of the State, they have been equal to
every demand upon their courage, wisdom
and patriotism. Let the North Carolina
troops have North Carolina leader, one in
whose ability and courage our soldier boys
have entire confidence. 1t is time that the
State should assert herself, and show to the
world that her sons not only make the best
soldiers in the trenches but are capable of
the highest leadership as well.
