IT'S Up TO TIE
COMMISSION NOW
Railroads Still Say "Im-

NOW FOR THE ORDER

1t is up to the Corporation Commission
10 order the Southern Railway and the
Atlantic Coast Line 'to make as close
onnection as practicable for the con-
venience of the travelling public" at
selma
For the third time yesterday the repre-
sentatives of the two roads met before the
commission and failed to fix upon any
Jay of mending the broken Selma con-
nection, Both roads reiterated for the
bird time, thorugh their representatives
rat it was impossible for them to better

outhern afternoon train west bound to
cave Selma half hour before the At
antic Coast Line train Is due at that
point, state of affairs that has existed
ever since last October.
The Corporation Commission has been
latent and forbearng. 1t has heard this
same thing said now three times in many
5arious ways and with differing phrase
)logy, but it has been the same thing:
We can't do any better" The roads
have had three chances to do something

them to be at Selma thirty minutes earlier

The people of the East, said RIr. Davis,
weres not SO badly off after all, as they
had three chances of getting to Raleigh
each day. For instance passengers from
Rocky Mount. Wilson, and other points
along that line, could leave home about

BRILLIANT WEDDING LAST NIGHT
Miss Catherine Louise Richardson
Welded to Mr.. Percy PreqnalI.

Yesterday afternoon at six O'Clock in
the First Presbyterian church, the mari
rage ceremony /, uniting Miss Catherine
Louise Richardson, to Mr.. Percy Preg-
nall, was solemnized in the presence Of
one OF the largest social gatherings of
the season, the Rev. DR.. Alfred H. Mo-
ment officiating. The handsomely deco
rated church was crowded long before
the hour for the ceremony and vocal se-
lections were rendered by Mrs. Chas. Nc
Kimmon, and organ numbers were ren.
dered by Mrs. Benjamin Kilgore.
The First Presbyterian church never
appeared in more tasteful and exquisite
decorations. The color scheme of greer
and white was executed by artistic
hands. Stately palms surrounded the al
tar steps, while the altar proper was a
perfect wilderness os asparagus ferns with
myriads of lights from rich candelabrae
These effects, with the additional beauty
of festoons of honeysuckle from floor to
ceiling, hiding walls from view, as an
appropriate background.
The bridal party entered the church
from the two main entrances. From the
organ loft came the gentle notes of
Tannhauser's wedding march, as rendered
by Mrs. Kilgore.

nearly every general ana prominent man
connected with our glorious Revolution,
were proud to number Themselves as mem
bers Of our noble order.
In our own State the Order was estab-
lished before the Revolution, and the res
idence of William Hooper, the signer OF
the declaration of independence, was
Masonboro, so named because a lodge
had been opened there Indeed, many
years earlier a Mason's lodge was es-
tabGshed at Wilmington, but of its hiss
tory, we are unfortunately not intorme,,.
Samuel Johnson, the greatest and wis
est North Carolinian in his day and
generation, was our first Past Grand
tered villages, the benevolence of our
membership in those early days, includes
the names OF nearly every man OF con
sequence who had devoted himself to the
glorious cause of advancing the inter-
ests of humanity. In State so sparsely
settled, with no towns ecept few scat
tered villages, the benevoience of our
order first took practical shape IN an Ell
fort to disseminate knowledge and provide
the means of education for our people.
Our Past Grand Master for seven sue
cessive terms, William R. Davie, devoted
himself to the task of securing a State
school at Chapel Hill, where the corner
stone of the first structure was laid by
him with Masonic honors And, indeed,
TIE esta blishment of our venerable State
University was due more to the beneyo-
lence of this noble Mason than to any
other man in North Carolina. Governor
James Smith, another Past Grand Master
or our Grand Dodge made the first dona-
ton to our State University, and was
one of the first trustees of the University.
Smith Hall at Chapel Hill was named in
his honor. As the chief actors in deter
mining State affairs were, in those days
nearly all Masons, it may truly be said
that the spirit of our order permeated
the policy of the State authorities, and
exetred a healthy influence for the up
building of the commonwealth.
After the calamities of cur great war
for Southern independence had bereft us
for the fathers who had sacrificed their
lives in the sacred cause, and the SAD
condition of their poor orphans appealed
to us for relief, the benevolence of the
order manifested itself in the practical
work OF establishing an asylum for those
children of desolation.
The State was then impoverished; thu
various religious denominations were not
strong enough for the task: hut our
order opened the way and called on the
benevolence of the whole people TO assist
Us in the good work. The spirit then dis
played was not without its sanitary in
fluence among all conditions of men. II
awakened benevolent response among
the men and women of cur State, and for
years the orphans we're largely cared for
through the individual exertions of chari
table citizens, When we contemplate the

Death OF a Little Girl.

The many friends in this city of Mr..
and Mrs o. G. Womble, now of Norfolk,
Va, will be panied to learn of the death
of their four-year- old daughter, Lucille,
which occurred at their home on Monday
afternoon last. at six O'Clock. Mr.. Won
BILE is Railway Postal Clerk between Nor
folk and Hamlet and on that account
particularly, moved to Norfolk in October,
1901. The cause of the little girls death,
which was unexpected, was congestion OF
the lungs, and it was peculiarly sad be-
cause its mother had been separated from
it for many days in caring for their little
son, who is recovering from scarlet fever.
