The Order of EIkS.

An important meeting Of the order
| of Elks was held Friday evening and
matters of interest to the lodge dis
cussed and action taken to bring about
desirable changes in the routine of Il 9
local organization. Hereafter The
annual ball, which is one of the great
social events Of the order, will be given
in May instead of February as hereto
fore. The initial steps were taken
looking to the securing of new quar-
ters, ard possibly the erection next
year of a clubhouse for the accommo-
dation and convience of the lodge
and the friends of the members At
the present time the membership num-
hers over 100 with a goodly number
on the waiting list and larger quarters
will be necessary. AS the Elks is a
social, fraternal and protective order
and it's membership made up Of some
of the best men in the city, there is
no reason why it's mem bership should
not be doubled in the near future, for

More Houses Needed.

There is considerable idle capital IN
this city which might be protltaoly IN
vested in 6he erection of dwelling
houses for rental purposes and the
CITY benefited by an increase OF pOpu-
lat1on and trade. Ouly recently, the
A r. Wiens Brush company last two
of its high salaried employees because
they could not secure houses in which
to live with their families. The same
company has an opportunity, to secure
a large contract involving many thous-
ands of dollars which would add at
least a half more to it's operating force,
but the company hesitate to take the
contract for fear of failure to secure
expert workmen. Some idea of the
benefit to the city may be gained from
the fact that the A r. Wiens Brush
company pays out $4,000 monthly in
wages which would be increased a hall
more if there were dwelling for the
housing of workmen. As has alreaoy
been said, there is much idle capital
in this city which could be made to
pay good dividend if used as has
been suggested, and there should be
loosing up of the purse string and a
little local civic pride demonstrated.

Professor Shaw who has recently
been added to the editorial staff of the
Orange Judd Farmer, one of the ablest
agricultural journals published in this
country with circulation of 10000
copies weekly, was born in Canada of
Scotch paren's. AS lad he worked
on his fathers farm and attended
school winters until Is years of age,
when be became school teacher, and
soon earned and saved enough money
to buy farm of his own. He was al
ways great reader and student and
his inclinations and tastes running to
agricultural matters he soon became
one Of the best posted and most sue
cessful agriculturalist in his native prov
ince Of Ontario. In the year of 1882 he
founded the Live Stock Journal of
Canada which he published until 1888
when he was appointed professor of
the Agricultural college at Guelph, the
largest institution of it's kind in the
world. He soon became lecturer and
writer Of books on agricultural subjects
which have been of great benefit 20 the
farmers Of Canada and this country,
he having lectured in about every
state in the union.
The editorial staff Of the Orange
Judd Farmer has always been very
able and the addition Of Professor
Shaw will certainly make it more
valuable if that was possible.

Committee Reported.

At the last regular meeting of the
common council the committee ap-
pointed several weeks ago to investi-
gate Alderman A. H. Hartwig made
the following report, which was
adopted with one negative vote:
Your undersigned committee, to
whom was referred the communication
of Aid. A. H. Hartwig, dated August 1,
1905, purporting to comply with the
report and Recommendation of your
committee. adopted July 27, 1905, beg
leave to report:
Your committee has examined Aid
A. H. Hartwig's, communication very
carefully and lind it to consist of a
lengthy writeup of his position and at
titude in working for the defeat of
Substitute Bill No. 39S while the
same was pending before the legislat
ure. He appears to assume in his
communication that the mayor, city
attorney and vhe members of the COM
mon council have charged him with
working for the defeat of said bill.
Neither the ultimate outcome CT said
bill nor Aid A. H. Hartwig's attitude
on the same is in issue in the investi-
cation for which your committee was
appointed, as Aid. Hartwig knew or
had means to know. The only matter
in issue is the derogatory statements
made by him at meeting of the COM
mon council held June 20, 1905, re-
fecting upon the honesty, integrity
and good character of the mayor, city
attorney and members of the common
council. And in view of the fact that
Aid. A. H. Hartwig had in his posses
sion copy Of a letter written by your
committee which give the statements
made by him at that meeting, the
statement in his communication that
he was at loss to know what he was
charged with and what he should re-
tract and apologize for, appears to
yonr committee as mere quibble,
nude for the purpose Of evading the
real matter in question and getting an
opportunity to set forth his acts and
attitude on Bill 3SS.
Your committee therefore cannot
consider his communication as satis-
factory retraction and apology of the
statements previously reported by your
committee as having been made by
him, apparently wilfully and without
foundation or excuse and reports un-
favorably thereon. John Kessler.
- F. w. Lehman,
~. John b. RYAN,
Investigating Committee.
Dated Watertown. Wis, August Is,
1905.
The following resolution was then
adopted, there being one negative vote
as on the adoption of the report.
Resolved, that the ma yor appoint
committee to prefer charges, in writ
ting, against Aid, A. II. Hartwig, for
having made derogatory statements of
the mayor, city attorney and members
of the common council of the city of
Watertown, wilfully and without foun-
dation Or excuse; and to file the same
with the city clerk. Adopted.
The mayor appointed the following
committee: Kessler, Lehman, Ryan.

business and there will no doubt be
considerable fun before the matter is

A Voice from onslow.

Messrs. Editors:-I should like
to speak a word to the people
through this good paper about how
we stand through this section of the
country. / believe the people have
about all had their cotton ginned
now and hauled. stored about under
shelters, and they seem to be con-
tented. They all say as the boil
weevil did not get in the boil through
the summer, they will not let the
Wall Street weevil get in in 1905,
unless prices come favorable.
The cotton raised in Eastern
North Carolina is not much, of
course; but this is far different from
the word hal we are weakened to
let go any cotton right soon. l
hope the good leaders will continue
in their meetings to do good to the
cotton growers. They will reduce
acreage about so per cent this year
through this section. If the people
would do this through the Cotton
Belt, or as nearly as possible, we
would get a fair price next fall.
Then. too, if all would read and no.

would find out something we need
