DUKE MADE GRAND MASTER.
COnnauEht Succeeds Edward VII ms
Head of British MnsOns.


London, July 1S.-Eleven thousand
English Free Masons yesterday attend
ed the installation of the Duke of Con-
naught as grand master of the United
Grand Lodge, in succession to Edward
VII. Albert Hall was thronged with
members of the Grand Lodge past and
present. and with the masters and
wardens of English lodges, as it was
in 1875, when the Prince of Wales was
placed on the Masonic throne. The GER
emonial was virtually the same as at
the installation of the Prince of Wales,
and was most solemn and impressive.
The grand lodge officers entirely filed
the orchestra and chorus seats. The
Duke of Connaught was welcomed by
a fanfare of trumpets and the national
anthem was sung by an enormous
gathering. He was installed by Earl
Amherst, pro- grand master, assisted by
the Earl of Warwick, deputy grand
master. The Duke made an excellent
address, and referred to the fact that
for many years the royal family had
been closely associated with Freema-
sonry, George ~, William w, Edward
VII. the Duke of Kent, the Duke of
Cumberland, the Duke of Sussex, the
Duke of Albany and the Duke of Clar-
ence having been connected with it.
The most impressive moment was
when the installation was proclaimed
and the vast concourse, with blue re-
gala and white gloves, saluted the new
grand master. The music throughout
the ceremony was splendidly rendered.
Grand Master Hozier of Scotland and
the Duke of Abercorn, grand master of
Ireland, made short addresses. and tele-
grams of congratulation were read
from the colonies. Lord Miner, the
Bishop of Calcutta and the Lord Mayor
of London were present to receive ad-
vancement in the craft, and honors
Were conferred on Lord Kitchener.
During the grand mastership of the
King G175O.000 has been paid into the
benevolent fund of the Grand Lodge
and for three Masonic charities.

Tuscullum, Ca, July 19.-Editor
Morning News: Seeing lately several
pieces in your paper concerning naval
stores labor. prices, etc, l would like
to say something on the subject. l
have many times thought how foolish
we are, all of us turpeptine operators,
paying the prices we do for labor, mat
tiers not what naval stores would bring.
High prices for negro labor simply
means inferior work and a very little
of that. The less paid in reason. the
more work we would get, and better
work. And this combined with union
in prices for chipping. dipping. cutting
boxes and cornering, if put at the right
price, would put labor where it would
be manageable, and stop all this in
ferior gambling set of loafing from
place to place, looking for soft places
with green woodsmen and managers to
work under. so they can beat their way
beat the woodsman out of work, come
to the cOmmissary and lie the commits
sary out of rations, etc, pull out and
hunt another soft place and so on. But
we could establish some means to make
every producer pay only the one price,
and let that be not more than lie for
cutting boxes, 81 per thousand for
cornering boxes. about 40c per thous
and for chipping boxes, 25c per barrel,
for dipping kerosene barrels, and about
SIS per month and rations for wagon
ers, still hands, etc. and let that or
whatever price was agreed on, be
the price and see that good work was
done or not pay. Then we would get
plenty of good labor, and operators
would make something instead of being
all the time wondering and figuring to
see how much of the old years account
the factors would have to carry over.
/ will further say that you may build
tanks, one for every still, but until
a union in the prices paid for the negro
labor is paid, tanks nor nothing else
will do good.
l also fully agree with d. j. H.. who
has a letter in to-day's issue of the
Morning News, and will say that the
factors can establish this thing of or
ganizing among the operators, and it
will never be done until they do 1t.

GOLD FEVER IN WILKES.

The gold fever has seized upon the
citizens of Wilkes with a strong hold.
A year or two ago Hon. l.. w. Lati-
mer had strong suspicion that there
was gold on his plantation in the
northern portion of Wilkes. and began
to prospect. All that saw the ore said
it was valuable. A week or two ago a
wheelbarrow full was tested and the
product sent to Charlotte to be assay
ed. The outturn was so remarkable
that steps were at once taken to work
the vein vigorously. One thousand
pounds of dirt was dug and sent to the
stamping machines at the Columbia
gold mines in adjoining county. The
1000 pounds yielded a lump of the pre-
cious yellow metal that is estimated to
be worth $1,000 to $l,750, and it is claim
ed that two or three hundred dollars
worth of the rich ore was washed away
at the stamping works for the reason
that there was a lack of quicksilver
and the Columbia Mining Company was
not accustomed to handling such rich
ore.
