ant, in the same room with the same
girls on the same class of work, and
being the only person. that went to work
in the room after the assistant matrOn
left. We are quite sure that al of
us have as n first consideration the
interest of the Orphan Asylum and in
that connection we wish to call atten-
ton to fact which to us is a very
pertinent one. The increased cost in
salaries of the administration is only
n small part of its cost to the institu-
ton, which can be proven to the salts
faction of any man who will take the
trouble to compare the INST of cash Go
nations published in the Orphans Friend
each week under former administrations
with those published now Say tive
years or more ago it took often from
a half to one column to contain them.
now they occupy only about ualf doxru
lines, and all this in the face of the
fact that twice as much brain matter
is used UP in the management .: the
institution as it formerly took.
The editor does no- have The dis.
tinguished honor of being a Mason. and
taught that the basic principles of Ma
Sonry was to care for the widows and
orphans, and why could not Manager
Bemis have sought out widow or
daughter of Mason, of whom there
are plenty to be found, and given them
the work when She found Cnt that the
girls could not keep up with the work
instead of continuing the colored woman
even after attention haG been called to
it?
Some one may ask whae right have
we to interfere with the management
of the Orphan Asylum? We answer be-
cause it is Il public institution and as
Il taxpayer and a representative o. SAY
payers we claim the right to do So
because the State appropriates SO Geo
Il year to aid in the support nf The
orphans that enter the walls of the
Orphan Asylum. and the editor can say
that he is heartily in favor of the I'm
preparation, and if the institution was
under the full control of FL, MasonS
of North Carolina we are confident that
no criticism would be passed upon its
management.
The editor loves North Carolina,
"Heaven's blessing attend her" and
deplores the fact that there is not a
single lady within its domain that does
not possess ability enough to occupy the
same position that Miss Bemis does in
the face of our boosted culture, refine
ment, learning, and conservatism, along
With the tender feeling we have for
the unfortunate orphans of our beloved
