adding many names to the roster OF
the Knights of Pythias. He Is past
chancellor Of Stonewall Lodge No. l,
Of this city, and represents that lodge
in the present grand lodge. Major
Robertson Is comparatively young
man, but Is one who today stands In
the front ranks Of Wilmington's prom
inent citizens. He is a man of high
moral character, superb intellect and
rare accomplishments. He is also one
whom his fellow citizens love to hon
or, for no matter how heavy the man
tie 1t always becomes him and he
wears 1t with grace and ability. At
present he is a member of Governor c.
B. Aycocks staff, a commissioner OF
