ON NOVEMBER THIRD
The Picture of Lieut.. Brown
to be Presented.
The |. O5. Branch Camp of Veterans Have
Moved to Their Former Quarters Over
the Mayors Office

The l.. OBJ. Branch Camp of Confed-
crate Veterans have removed their
headquarters from over the china
store back to their old hall over the
Mayors office. This change was made
on account of the fact that the Agri-
cultural Department has granted
room IN the museum to the veterans
for Confederate Relic Room.
When the hall over the china store
was taken, it was intended to be used
as an exhibiting place for relics OF
the late war, and was to be used by
the Ladies' Memorial Association, the
Daughters of the Confederacy, the
Daughters of the Revolution and the
L. OBJ. Branch Camp of Veterans.
Since, however, the completion OF
the museum annex, the authorities
have decided to give the Confederate
associations of the State the use of
room in which is to be stored relics.
1t is desired to preserve not only the
relics of the civil war, but of all the
wars in which North Carolina has en-
gagged Colonial relics are also wanted.
This room will not be used for the
meeting hall of the camp, but simply,
for the exhibition of these relics. The
museum already has on hand enough
specimens for the nucleus of such an
exhibit. and the camp and each of the
ladies associations. have many more.
Also, there are many relics scattered
through the State. whose owners
would be glad TO donate or lend them
to any organization that has any suit
able way to preserve and exhibit them.
This matter Will be brought up at
the next State association of Confed-
crate veterans, which meets here on
October oath.
The presentation of the picture of
Lieutenant Nat. l. Brown has been
postponed until Saturday, November
3rd. This has been done on account
of the fact that four companies of the
47th regiment are from Wake countyo,
and would be glad to attend the pre-
sentation ceremony, and cannot do so
if the presentation is held at night. Sc
the change in the date was made to
allow the surviving comrades to at
tend, and the presentation Will take
place on the afternoon of November
3rd. 1t has been suggested that the
meetings of the camp be held in the
day time so as to allow as many az
possible of the old veterans to ats
tend. =

he dies his faults are covered still. Ma
sonry comes close to the sorrows of fife

There are thousands today who hold up
their hands and thank God for the ex-
istence of this organization, of this or

He next took up the charge that Ma
sons did not live up to their obligations.
"Oh, but some one says, I know some
sorry men who are Masons.' Yes, I'll adj
nit there are. We don't claim that Ma
sorry is perfect. But there are lots more
sorry men not Masons than Masons. DR..
Whitsett, once on being asked why the
seminary sent SO many sorry preachers
to South Carolina, replied: That is true,
but we send you back the same men
you send u.s. And so with Masonry. IL
can't make the man. There must be
specimen of good manhood there before
there can be a good Mason. Going through
the ceremony can't make good man out
of sorry one. We must have good ma
terial to start with. The rough astler
comes unhewn and uneven from the quar-
ry, but if the grain be true, it is polished
until fit for an honorable place in the
temple.
The Bible, he said, is the foundation
stone CT masonary. It's principles came
from the Bible 1t teaches men to live
upon the level and act upon the square,
and to circumscribe the limit of ones
passions. During the middle ages, the
Bible was saved through Masonery when
the church had almost given it up. The
mason can say of the Bible, CO. wood
man, spare this tree, &C.
Mr.. Hubbard told of hearing promi
nent Mason in Alabama in lecture be-
fore the Grand Lodge say: Don't even
have your lodge in a building in which
there is a saloon. 1t is not good masonary
to do So And then" said Mr.. Hub
bard, 81 said that I was ashamed of what
certain churches that l knew of were
doing. They were permitting things to
go on that the Masons would not al
low"
Mr.. Hubbard continued: II had rather
leave my child to my brethren of the Ma
sonic order than to the church. You
had rather leave your child to the Ma
sons than to the church, and you know
it, | blush to say it, but it is so.
Now some one will say he has put
the Mascns above the church. He hasn't
made institution. We have never claimed
it to be anything else-we have never
claimed that it was divinely instituted.
But as long as there is widows suffering
to relieve or an orphans tear to dry,
it will continue in it's work of benevolence
and good deeds"

Lord Russers Bold Encounter with q
Testy Judge.
Master of himself, as he was at
nearly all times, Lord Russell proba-
bly, never appeared to better advantage
than when he made his first success at
the bar by persisting in a case after
his leader, Edwin James, had thrown
up his brief. When Russell rose to
speak the judge inquired testify:
Don't you know, sir, that your leader
has left the court?" Russell, without
flinching, said that he did, but there
were some points which he thought it
was his duty to put before the jury.
"Oh, go on said the judge ironical-
ly. A few minutes later, however, he
asked the younger barrister his name.
Charles RUSSELL" was the reply, and
the young lawyer went on with his
argument. In the course of the speech
he conquered the prejudice of the
judge, who, at its close, before adj
dressing the jury, confessed to Mr..
Russell that at first he had thought
him guilty Of great impertinence in
putting himself forward to address the
jury after his leader had abandoned
the case, but that he had entirely JUS
titled himself by his ability and skill.

ago to write this down so it would be
impressed for all time upon her mind:

things" And one thing she has done.

time she works on, and then the love
of color takes possession Of her, and
she grows tired of the cold marble and
paints pictures. AS she paints she
hears the song Of the birds and the
brooks and then to her music she flies,
and following this-and a good, COM
panion to music it is-comes the de-
sire to write verse. This she does and
several very creditable little pieces
find their way into print. Her fam
lily marvel at her genius, and her
friends call her most accomplished
young woman. But once upon time
| there came day in the life of just
| such young woman when it was
forced upon her to sit down and take
stock of her accomplishments. After
her review she arose, not smiling, but
signing. And this was her plant:
"How much better could do one
thing we'll than many things indif-
ferently. No piece of marble that I
ever cut has been called wonderful
no picture that I have ever painted
has been more than barely noticed by
| the critics, the music 1 have played
am certain has hardly been remem-
| bered, and where are the verses have
written?" Then it was the girl
picked up her pen and said: II will
write" But there were hundreds Of
others writing, and far better than
she could. But she bent all her en-.
ergies to her task, and brought to
bear upon her work the sympathy Of
tender heart and the strength of
broadly taught mind, and SO, after all,

but not until there were concentration

Eight-Day Prayers.

My small friend, Marjorie, is by no
means so religious as her orthodox
mother would like to see her. Every
night she prays for a blessing on ali
her kith and kin. and there are SO
many of them that the task is no light
one. The other night she lay in bed,
her prayers finished, and watched her
mother wind up the big nursery clock.

The fact that my father had sent me
to Mr.. Travers, by whom I had been so
warmly welcomed, viewed in the light
of my new knowledge, clearly indicat-
ed that they were old friends and this
being so, then could Mr.. Travers most
probably enlighten me as to the origin
of his and my fathers fears-could give
me, in fact, some history of the COM
mon enemy. But dare I ask him?
dare stir up the past, with the sure
and certain result of clouding the flu

his present occupation, that he was ig-

Nor. strain my ears as would, I could
not detect the slightest sound.
I cannot explain why I lay there
passive, or why did not spring from
the couch and see for myself what
motive power was pushing 1t open.
1t was not fear that held me inert.
1t was, perhaps, because was unwill-
ing to move about the room, lest I
should wake Mr. Travers, and I knew
that in his present condition every
minutes slumber was of the utmost
Importance. s
And then another curious circum-
stance arrested my attention. The
light was becoming brighter, and the
flame of the gas, as looked at it, was
slowly increasing. My eye travelled
along the string by which, as I have
explained, the gas could be turned on,
and there, about a foot from the end
nearest Mr.. Travers, I saw hand
moving slowly over the bedclothes. 1t
was the hand Of a man who might
once have earned his living by the
sweat of his brow, for 1t was large and
showed the signs of wear, but now it
was well kept, and a heavy gold ring
encircling his third finger.
If you We're to ask me the motive that
governed my next movement, am
sure could not tell you. The couch
on which lay had no sides to it, and
so, without making sound that could
be heard across the room, I slipped on
to the soft, thick carpet, and, gently
lifthing the counterpart, crept under
the bed, and there, in the interval be-
tween the overhanging coverings and
the floor, I saw two feet covered with
thick wooden socks.
Even then I thought had only to do
with an ordinary burglar, although in
that case the encounter might easily
prove desperate one, seeing that l
had nothing wherewith to fight but my
naked hands, and he, most probably,
had both revolver and loaded stick.
Suddenly there was a convulsive
movement above me. Then came the
sound of a voice, and though the words
